A Shinobi's Take on this Wonderful World

What's Ramen?

After a quick visit to the town's public bathhouse to wash off the toad mucus, Kazuma and Aqua met up with Naruto at the adventurer's guild.

"So let me get this straight... Just like me, you were sent to this world by a goddess to defeat the Demon King, but you're not from Japan? You do have blonde hair and blue eyes... Are you from America or Europe?"

Kazuma asked as he tried to wrap his head around the situation.

"Nope. Never heard of em."

Naruto said with a wave of his hand as he sent occasional glances at Aqua, who was currently fiddling with a straw and paying zero attention to the conversation.

Kazuma hummed and calmly rubbed his chin in thought. He wasn't the type to overreact to something like this, especially when entities such as gods and goddess were involved. After all, he himself was just reincarnated into another world from Japan. It wouldn't be too farfetched for Naruto to be from yet another world.

How very fantasy-like.

"Where are you from then?"

Kazuma decided to keep the ball rolling to see what kind of world Naruto came from then.

"The Elemental Nations..."

Naruto answered absentmindedly while watching Aqua work on the straw, causing a tick mark formed on Kazuma's forehead.

"Aqua, pay attention and stop distracting Naruto! This has to do with you too!"

"Don't wanna-Ah! No, I'm not finished yet!"

Aqua wailed when Kazuma snatched the straw out of her hands, and she started bobbing at the boy's head comically.

Naruto chuckled as he watched the two fight until Aqua somehow managed to retrieve her straw.

"So I take it you're from this Japan place, Kazuma?"

Kazuma rubbed his head as he sent the priest, who immediately went back to her craft, an annoyed expression before turning back to Naruto and nodding.

"Yeah, but to think there are even more worlds out there besides my old home and this world. It's really just like a video game!"

Kazuma exclaimed in excitement. He was really starting to feel that fantasy world vibe again.

"As expected of Kazuma who's previous life was merely that of a NEET, comparing the real world to a video game is-Hey! No, I'm sorry! Stop it Kazuma! It's gonna break! Kazuma-saaan!"

Aqua mocked when Kazuma lunged for the straw again, and she started pleading with teary eyes.

Kazuma let go of Aqua's strange looking straw before crossing his arms. He was getting sidetracked because of this dumb girl. If she didn't want to listen, then so be it.

"What kind of world did you come from?"

It was a basic question, but Kazuma was curious as to how Naruto's world differed from this fantasy one and Japan.

"I guess it's kinda like this world... But we didn't have a king, and we didn't use magic. We ninja live in hidden villages and use chakra!"

Naruto said, giving a brief description of his world and forming a hand sign as a visual.

"You're a ninja?"

Kazuma questioned incredulously as he appraised the alleged shinobi's attire. The guy was wearing a headband with a strange symbol, but with those orange clothes coupled with his bright blonde hair... Then there was also that bright golden energy power he used earlier-
