Waking up the next morning, I stretch and take a deep breath. The cool morning air drifts through my shabby apartment room while the sun barely peeks over the Hokage mountain in the distance. The realization of everything that happened the day before fills me with energy and excitement. Not to mention, this body OG ROB granted me already started adjusting to my OP Perfect body perk. Just the thought makes me grin like a idiot
''Good morning Master... um did you sleep well"
I get pulled from my thoughts by the sound of Aelthrys's smooth, commanding yet oddly shy voice echoing in my mind. I close my eyes and focus on my Inner World where I find her sitting on her throne, exuding a aura of of absolute dominance enough to make even the gods bow yet when her golden eyes falls on me there's a undeniable softness that makes my heart pound as if I'm being looked at by a caring and loving wife
Just looking at her long flawless legs as smooth as jade and her long silver hair flowing like a gentle river not to mention those horns... It's making my horned waifu fetish flair up again. Shit if my new body's balls had already dropped I'd have had the crazies boner right now but ales I'm still a grower.
just as I was about to go into another inner monolog I hear her mature smooth voice again pulling my full attention
"You're adjusting well" she muses, tilting her head "But don't get complacent. You have power but you'll be a fool swinging a god's weapon if you can't master and learn to control is proper"
I nod,. she's right there's no use having the crazy things I wished for if I can't use it properly
Before I can respond to her advice I get interrupted by her but this time her voice is soft and shy "A-and if you need any help I'm always here by you're side" my heart skip a beat at how soft and nervous she sounds but after a second I give her a gentle soft smile.
"I appreciate it Ael. Let's work hard together...partner" After she realizes I called her so intimately she chuckles sweetly before a fuzzy silence follow's making her avert her gaze out of embarrassment before she tries to regain her composure
I chuckle at her sorry attempt to have a serious expression deciding against teasing her. Instead i turn my attention to the black screen floating in front of me and say casually.
"Yo System-chan show me my status"
After a brief pause the systems mechanical voice echoes in my head.
[System Initialization Complete… Displaying Status Panel]
I frown at the sleek black and red holographic interface materializes before me.
"Didn't I wish for a system with a personality and intelligence?...Did something go wrong or has it not fully activated yet?" after pondering for a few seconds I push the issue to the back of my mind for now I need to check my status. I turn my attention back the the RPG like screen floating in front of me.

Looking at my Status a grin spread's across my face "Hell yeah"
Aelthrys insists that I begin training immediately. She appears beside me, her presence comforting yet commanding. However, there's a softness to her gaze when she watches me struggle. feels more like a elder sister mentoring her little sibling and gently scolding them when they mess up.
"You have my power within you," she says, stepping closer, her fingers lightly flicking my forehead."Its not just about pure strength and brute force".
I look up at her while rubbing my forehead and complain like a whining child "But i wanna be like those crazy OP MCs"
With a big sigh she slowly reaches out to me "It's not just raw strength dummy you need to understand it. Feel it. And most importantly…" She hesitates, then gently ruffles my hair, an affectionate smirk on her lips. "…don't push yourself too hard, okay?"
Smile softly at her and quickly get closer to her, giving her a nice big hug. From a outsiders perspective you'd think its just a cute Shota hugging his super hot Dragon Empress Onee-san nothing weird but to me it was a preemptive strike to make sure she develops feelings for me while I'm still young so when I finally get old enough....Hehehe
Unbeknownst to me Ael already recovered from her momentary stupor and is looking at my perverted drooling smile while she strokes my hair with a unreadable smile on her face.
After our little moment of bliss we refocus on the objective at hand which is training and after a little discussion with Ael on what to train first we end up with Chakra control first since she said it'll help me with my control of future energies and power systems so we decide to enter my Training ground where time flows different from the real world
(Who needs a time chamber when you have a broken system)
After turning the Training ground into a forest I focus inward, sensing the chakra flowing through my coils. It's… vast. Far beyond what a normal nine-year-old should have. But I quickly realize something odd my chakra is denser, heavier, as if it's being compressed by something unseen.
Like a good teacher Ael gives me a answer to my question that's quite obvious "Well u do have a Infinite energy core" after coming to the realization we continue with our training
Following the system's guidance, I try tree climbing first, channeling chakra to my feet. I take a step up the trunk, then another—and instantly blast off as if I'd used a rocket booster.
"Whoa, shit!" I backflip midair, landing on the ground with a hard thud. "The Fuck"
As if responding to my confusion the system sends status report and helps me out nicely
[Your chakra density is beyond normal limits. Control needs refinement. Adjust output to 0.1%.]
Gritting my teeth, I try again. This time, I manage a controlled step, then another. Within a minute, I'm running up and down the tree with ease.
"Damn, that was fast," I mutter. The system really does make things easier.
Standing with her arms crossed against a tree Ael jealously comment with a slight pout "Don't forget who you're real teacher is."
Scratching the back of my head awkwardly, I sigh. "Yeah, sorry, Ael. You're the best teacher ever."
She smiles smugly. 'So childish.'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After an hour of training, I decide to head into the village to grab some food. As I walk down the streets, the familiar yet unfamiliar sight of Konoha bustles around me.
After wandering around for a while I suddenly hear a commotion behind me
"HEY! GET BACK HERE!"
I turn in time to see a blonde-haired kid sprinting down the street holding a basket of stolen food like his life depended on it. Hot on his heels is an angry shopkeeper, shaking his fist.
Even the most casual anime fan would recognize that little blond dude
Naruto Uzumaki.
The future Seventh Hokage.
And currently, Konoha's number-one troublemaker.
I let out a sigh before move into a alley where I wait for him to pass by then I pull him in quickly to lose the old foggy chasing him
Naruto trips over it spectacularly, tumbling headfirst into the dirt .I sigh and crouch beside Him. "Man, if you're gonna steal, at least be good at it."
He glares at me but doesn't look angry more annoyed. "Tch, you didn't have to trip me!"
shrug then I extend my hand to him. Tilt my head to the side and grin after seeing his hesitation "No need to worry i ain't scared of you."
He eyes me warily, then takes my hand and pulls himself up. "Yeah… Thanks, I guess."
I smirk. "Don't mention it. Name's Aki, You seem cool! You should totally come eat ramen with me!"
After saying that i don't even wait for his reply and just drag him along.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ichiraku's was as lively as ever. The familiar smell of broth filled the air, and the warm atmosphere reminded me of something… familiar. Something back on Earth. Instant ramen
Naruto and I plopped down at the counter, where Teuchi, the owner, greeted us with a warm smile. "Ah, young Naruto, bringing a friend along?" He turned to me. "What can I get you young lad?"
"Ramen's fine," I said, leaning back in my seat.
Naruto, already practically inhaling his bowl, threw a grin my way, clearly already tamed by my ramen invitation. "So, Aki, where are you from?"
The question made me pause. It was a good one—something that I'd been thinking about for a while. My past life on Earth felt like a distant dream, like it had happened to someone else. And now, I was in a world of ninjas, chakra, and… anime waifus? I didn't even know how to begin explaining who I was so...
"Nowhere special," I replied with a shrug, hoping to keep things simple. "Just a dude passing through."
Naruto blinked, clearly not satisfied with that answer, but he didn't press. Instead, he dug into his bowl with the enthusiasm only a ramen addict could have. "Well, as long as you're cool, I'm good! You're the first person who's helped me today, so I owe you one."
Naruto shot me a cheerful grin. "If you didn't stop me, I would've been stuck running from that guy for the rest of the day."
I let out a soft chuckle, the absurdity of the situation settling in. The kid was an absolute mess, but there was something endearing about it. Maybe he wasn't as much of a troublemaker as he seemed. Wait am i getting affected with the protag Aura
"So, what about you, Aki?" Naruto asked, slurping up a massive mouthful of noodles and pulling me out of my thought. "What's your deal? You're not from around here, right?"
I hesitated for a moment before answering. "I'm here to… find something." 'Waifus that is'
Naruto didn't ask any more questions, likely because he was too busy finishing his bowl and ordering another round. After a few bowls i get up and pay, then i turn to Naruto while lazily stretching.
"I gotta go, Naruto. But I'll catch you later," I say as I walk away.
Naruto nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah! See ya around, Aki! And don't forget to bring me some snacks next time, alright?"
I chuckled and waved him off, stepping back into the bustling streets of Konoha. The village was alive with energy, its people all going about their daily routines. But even in the midst of this, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was changing within me. A deep power was stirring, and I didn't know if I was ready for it.
But it didn't matter, did it? I'd figure it out eventually. Right now, I had bigger things to focus on.
