I woke abruptly- a bell-like noise continuously ringing in my ears- what I was rather sure was the cause of my sudden migraine- until my eyes reluctantly focused on the glowing screen that looked more like a hallucination than anything else.
The abrupt cut-off of the high-pitched noise was more than appreciated, even if rather startling.

'Hmmm' your rather baffled that it's a world you're familiar with. Then again, the system did say the worlds you visited would have similarities to things you're familiar with. You just hadn't realized he meant worlds you thought of as fictional.

I skim over my stats quickly, stopping at the last line. I re-read it. Hesitating- I decide to wait before using any points.
Remembering what the system said earlier/ I decide to take a quick peek at the system store
'Hey, open the store.'

'Why can't I scroll down?'
[Lack of energy points. Everything past this point will be too expensive]
Humming at the explanation- you look over the passive skills available to you.
In the end, you decide to purchase 2 passive skills: Memory of the body and survival instinct.
Instantly, memories and foreign instincts flow into your head. Binding quite tightly to your soul.
The world was rather different compared to the naruto world you knew of.
Chakra as a whole was… different. Depending on the strength of your chakra- you could make someone completely submit to your will- or fully bind them to you. It was almost slave like- what you could do with chakra.
The upper echelons of the village were seen as- well, almost like… gods by civilians.
As for my mission targets, Uzumaki Naruto and Sasuke Uchiha…
I had liked neither of the two when watching the anime- and through Kiba's eyes my impression has not improved... at all.
Sasuke Uchiha was arrogant and one of the last from a Nobel clan. He had grown up with pressure and no burdens. He was not the heir- he flourished without the burdens of an heirs duty. His chakra while not the heaviest, was sharp. Almost cutting. He looked down on everyone not from a clan, and even then he looked down on those he believes are below him. He smelt of isolation, hate, longing, and loneliness.
As for Naruto Uzumaki, he was loud. His chakra was suffocating. I hadn't known before, but I suppose he is from a noble clan seeing as how he's an Uzumaki. Though I don't know much about his mothers placement within the Uzumaki clan- so I can't say if he's a prince of whirlpool or not.
Sadly- he was not in any way educated in the way of clans. Or his clan for that matter. He smelt of old sadness and hopelessness- he smelt of lies and fake happiness. He smelt of longing and jealousy. It was overwhelming- being near him.
Spending time with them would be hard. The most obvious solution to this would be ending up on the same team. Replacing Sakura on team seven would be the easiest step in gaining their full favor. The main problem in replacing her was Hatake Kakashi.
You had only met him once in your memory. His presence was suffocating and his eyes were cold and almost sadistic. As if he was taking amusement from everyone who suffered from the weight of his chakra. It had been a traumatic experience.
You honestly wanted to give up on joining his team but it was the easiest way to complete your task- however reluctant you were in interacting with Naruto and Sasuke.
Breathing out heavily- you sit up from your bed.
The Inuzuka clan was rather high up in status. As the Heir- you were expected to know and follow clan etiquette. It was a rather big relief that your clan was more easy going compared to others.
Flipping through the inherited memories, it was easy to recognize today was the last day of the academy. In other words, Final Exams.
Compared to the anime- a few things differed in regards to team placement.
First of all, depending on your marks- your team placement will be decided.
Ino-shika-Cho was still a thing in this world. As well as the dead last ending up with the top Shinobi and the top Kunoichi scorers.
But teams weren't split up with 2 guys and 1 girl. It was based on your achievements- chakra density- and character. Not gender.
And while in the show- Kunoichi was shown to be only women- everyone is required to go through Kunoichi classes in this world.
Whoever is top Kunoichi is the one who dominated any and all knowledge based tests while the Top Shinobi is the one who dominated any and all physical tests.
Taking the Sannin as an example. Orochimaru was top kunoichi while Tsunade was top Shinobi. So having a team with 3 boys isn't out of the realm of possibility.
For now, I'll need to make a plan of action.
'What a mess'
