Reincarnated Gamer Rei

Chapter five: Naruto?

A/N: I do apologize if it seems anyone of the OG characters is a bit OOC at any point in this story. I try my best so I hope it is acceptable :D

I swing my legs over the side of the tree and scoot to the edge. I breathe in deeply and jump to the ground. Landing in a crouch I topple forward, bracing myself with my arms. I quickly hop up, brushing the dirt off my arms and knees while I walk forward.

Hey Qutee. Can you play my music, please?

[Sure, any specific genre?]

Nope. Just shuffle it.

Music starts playing at a comfortable level. I immediately start bobbing my head and humming along. I know I can't sing out loud because it's in English and I don't really want to make excuses about why I know a foreign language that doesn't exist here and get questioned by the T&I department about being a spy. So, I'll just stick with humming and occasionally lip singing. Though I'm probably overthinking again.

Thank you.

I go through the town skipping and humming along to my music. Waving and giving passing greetings I wander around looking for something to do. I'd rather wait a little while before doing the Dungeon so I can learn more at school first.

~Mini time skip~

I slow my running pace as I enter the orphanage and briskly walk towards the kitchen. It's almost lunchtime and I always like to help out, especially since Mayumi is usually on food duty and is the only one who will let me near a knife- with her supervision of course. When I enter I see Mayumi preparing lunch.

"Heya, Mayumi." I pull the small apron from the side of the room and put it on.

"Heya Sugar Plum. The Hokage get that envelope?" She walks over and pulls a hair tie off her wrist.

"Yes, ma'am." I beam at her with a proud smile, tying the apron behind my back.

"Thank you. How did I know you wouldn't have a hair tie on you?" She shakes her head with a smile as she pulls my hair up into a ponytail.

"Because I never do." I giggle, and she laughs with me. Truthfully I do usually have a hair tie on me, I just enjoy letting her do my hair because it makes her smile, so it's usually in my pocket rather than on my wrist.

~After preparing lunch~

I wrap up one of the bento boxes with a purple plaid cloth and glancing around and making sure no one is watching I put both in my inventory. Between the bustle of everyone trying to distribute lunch between all the children I slip out and make my way through the streets again.

Bobbing my head and lip singing as I walk, I make my way towards my destination. I walk up to the Uchiha compound and slip silently over the wall taking my usual route. I've done the same thing every day since the incident. Sasuke has had a rough time over the past two years, so I make it a point to make sure he has a decent meal at least once a day. It's the only thing I know for sure I can do, so I do it. Thing is, he doesn't know I'm the one that does it.

Every day I will make my way to the front door of his house, and leave a wrapped bento, and take the empty bento and cloth from the previous day. He used to try and trap me, and always got frustrated when he couldn't but he's come to accept it by now, only occasionally trying to sneak a peek during the exchange. On days we have school I'll do it in the mornings so he has lunch for school.

I watch my surroundings as I slow, trying to mask my footsteps. I make the swap, putting the empty bento box and purple with white polka-dots cloth in my inventory and leaving the freshly wrapped bento in its place. I hear faint footsteps in the house and make a run for it, hiding in a nearby tree, covered by the flourishing leaves.
