[Level up!]
[+1 All stats!]
The system notification stirred Tsukimi awake and she yawned as she stared at her stats.
[KEN: 13
MRT: 15
SPD: 4
FORT: 4
INT: 15]
"I think these numbers are pretty good right?" She asked as she rubbed her stomach in hunger.
[For a child your age, indeed. Your current strength level is high genin to low chunin based on technical skill and chakra level, but in terms of physical stats, you are about as strong as the average child. Would you like me to display your strength level on your status?]
Tsukimi nodded and noticed she didn't feel the burn on her back, "System, do my wounds heal every level up?"
[Correct. Leveling up rebuilds your body to account for the stat increase.]
"Cool!" She exclaimed as she walked outside. Hunger was plaguing her body and she wanted to quell it. The moment her bare foot stepped on the dirt, the system dinged again.

Tsukimi's eyes practically popped out of her head, "Why does failure always result in death?!"
She grumbled and so did her stomach, "I'll start this stupid daily quest once I get some damn food. I also need to figure out what point in time I'm at. I want to assume the Third Great Ninja War but I could be wrong." She spoke to herself as she picked up her katana. The edge was chipped and duller than yesterday.
She sighed and looked at her money.
[Money: 1200]
"System, you have a shop right?" She asked and a screen appeared in her face.
[System Shop -

"Tch, don't I get a discount? I'm the only person shopping here…" She mumbled to herself as she chose the basic steel katana.
[-1000 Money]
[+1 Basic Steel Katana!]
A black scabbard appeared in her hands. She unsheathed the blade and it glistened in the sun as if it were a legendary item. Tsukimi swung it around a couple of times before smiling, "Never mind, this is definitely worth the money."
She then went on her merry way. She ran into the nearby forest and closed her eyes. She could sense the chakra of a wild boar 2 miles to the north, a bear 5 miles to the east, and several humans 8 miles to the west.
"Judging by their chakra amounts, they're genin level. I'm guessing either bandits or genins on a recon mission." She said from on top of a tree. She decided to observe them after she got some food. So she ran towards the bear. She weaved through the trees just like the shinobi do in the show. Within 30 minutes she arrived at the bear's den. She was a bit winded so she took a small break before fighting her breakfast.
"ROAARR!!" Too bad for her, the bear had already caught her scent. It roared at the bottom of the tree and Tsukimi shook her head at its ignorance, "You don't even know you're staring death in the face."
She wrote 'lightning strike' on the air above the bear and poured 20% of her chakra reserves into the kanji. Milliseconds later, dark clouds began to gather, and a thick lightning bolt fell from the sky, instantly killing the bear.
[+50 exp!]
Tsukimi smiled and jumped down to skin her meal. The lightning bolt burned most of the fur off which made it easier to skin. She bought a basic iron dagger from the shop and got to work. Within 15 minutes the entire bear was skinned.
"Filleting a bear is more work than I want to do." Tsukimi said as she wrote 'heat' on the bear meat and put enough chakra into it so that it wouldn't burn the meat but also had a decent heat to cook it.
While she allowed it to cook she sat down and closed her eyes. She saw her chakra pathways and her chakra, "Let's put [Internal Energy Circulation] to use."
Her chakra began to course through her body faster than normal. Her chakra pathways expanded which allowed more chakra to leak into her muscles, bones, and eyes. This leak granted her slightly enhanced physical strength, reflexes, and defense as long as she kept this circulation active.
"I should try to keep this active at all times. The only gripe I have is that I have to constantly think about the skill to keep it on, which is going to be difficult in the middle of a fight." Tsukimi said with a sigh. Her body had a thin layer of black chakra that stuck close to her skin. She stood up as her food was ready and began digging in.
Normally a six-year-old wouldn't even be able to eat an entire steak by themselves, yet Tsukimi managed to eat an entire bear in one sitting! Talk about big…
"Achoo! Who's talking about me?" Tsukimi sneezed as she patted her round stomach. Within seconds her round stomach disappeared as if she didn't just eat a whole bear. She got up and stretched before sensing the group of humans again, "Oh, they moved? I can't get an exact count from this distance but I'm assuming between 10-15. They're all genin so I should be able to take them down."
"But before I leave, let's do the daily quest!" She remembered and soon got to work. After two hours she was drenched in sweat and finally done with the quest.
[Daily Quest complete!]
[+1 All stats!]
[+1 Random Item/Skill Ticket.]
[Skills: Danger Sense (5 SPD), Conceal (16 INT), available! Would you like to equip? Y/N.]
Tsukimi clicked yes and looked at her inventory, "System open the skill box and the random item/skill ticket as well."
[-1 SB]
[-1 Random Item/Skill Ticket.]
[Skill gained: Rock (15 MRT): Condense your energy into your fist to release a devastating punch.]
[Item gained: Wado Ichimonji (E).]
"NAANIIIIII!!!!" Tsukimi yelled as her eyes came out of her head, "The way [Rock] is described sounds a lot like Gon's version and WADO ICHIMONJI?! It seems I've spent all my luck in one place." Tsukimi prayed for herself before examining the blade in her hands.
The hilt and sheath were pure white while the pommel and tsuba were gold. She unsheathed the sword and it glistened in the sun so much that she had to shield her eyes.
"Amazing…" She mumbled and swung the sword at a tree.
*CREAK*
She cut right through the tree with minimal effort, "This is so exciting! I can't wait to see how a human would fare against this!" She smiled and made her way towards the humans she sensed. She sensed them again to make sure and they were just on the edge of her range, which is 15 miles.
"The chakra signatures got denser which must mean more people have arrived. Perhaps fighting them head-on isn't the brightest thing to do at the moment." She said whilst running. Although her speed stat was 5, she was almost twice as fast as she was before. Within an hour she crossed 15 miles, albeit very winded again.
"[Conceal]." She activated her new skill completely erasing her chakra signature and presence. She observed what was happening and there were Iwagakure genin transporting supplies over a bridge.
"This looks familiar...Kannabi Bridge! The Third Great Ninja War, I was right!" A light bulb appeared over her head as everything clicked.
[Side Quest: Eliminate the Iwagakure shinobi and destroy the bridge.

"Fuck Iwa, I accept the first one." Tsukimi said as she clicked 'N' on the other two.
[Side Quest accepted! Failure will re-]
"Yeah, yeah I know, it'll result in death…" Tsukimi grumbled as she unsheathed Wado Ichimonji. She closed her eyes and felt her connect with every snake in the vicinity, 'Attack the people in red for me please!'
Moments later, various snakes of all shapes and sizes came out of the forest and began biting the Iwa shinobi.
"What the hell is with these snakes?!"
"Watch out that one is extremely venomous!"
"Shit that fucking hurt!"
Yells and screams rang out and Tsukimi watched all of this unfold from above. She dropped down on an unsuspecting shinobi and bisected him with ease. He could barely scream before dying.
"WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!" One kunoichi yelled before Tsukimi decapitated her. The other 15 shinobi turned their attention to her.
Before they could do any jutsu, Tsukimi wrote 'sharp tree branches' on the ground and thick tree branches sprouted out of the ground impaling those who were unlucky enough to be close to her.
'That takes care of about half of them.' Tsukimi noted as she felt the signatures of 7 shinobi still alive. She erased the kanji for the trees and they vanished into thin air, dropping the bodies they collected.
"W-Which village are you from?!" One shinobi asked as he threw up blood. He was bitten by a venomous snake.
Tsukimi shrugged, "I have no affiliation. I do this purely for entertainment and power." She said as she flicked blood off of Wado Ichimonji."
"You're-" He couldn't finish his sentence due to Tsukimi taking his head off. The other six shinobi collapsed due to venomous snake bites and Tsukimi slit all of their throats.
"Now to destroy-" Suddenly, for the first time since reincarnating, Tsukimi felt genuine fear. She quickly pivoted her foot and swung at whoever was ever behind her.
"A child shouldn't be swinging around such a sharp blade..."
