[Welcome host, TSUKIMI SUMIGAKI.]
The host in question was currently unconscious beneath a mountain of bodies. Her jet black hair was matted with blood and her previously white clothes were dyed red. A few minutes after the system initialized, she opened her eyes, revealing two onyx orbs.
When she took her first breath of conscious air, she almost suffocated due to the overwhelming stench of death. She crawled her way out of the mountain of bodies and when she reached the top, her eyes widened.
A battlefield littered with dead bodies. Destroyed homes, prisoners of war being dragged along the ground, and mountains of corpses similar to the one she just crawled out of being burned.
"Where the hell am I?" Tsukimi asked herself and took note of her adolescent voice. She looked down at her body and realized she was a child again.
"What the fuck…" As much as she wanted to stay confused, the next mountain of corpses to be burned was the one she was sitting on top of. She jumped off and took a closer look at how they were burning the bodies.
"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" A shinobi dressed in a blue jumpsuit and a green vest yelled before a plume of orange fire escaped his mouth. Tsukimi's eyes widened again, "I'm in fucking Naruto?!"
She whispered in shock. Before arriving here, the last thing she remembered was buying a few snacks from her local convenience store.
"I must've died somehow. As much as I wanna be happy, it doesn't look like the leaf village are my friends right now." She said while holding her chin and eyeing the shinobi from behind a destroyed house. She managed to grab a katana that was lying on the ground and was prepared to use it even if it meant certain death.
[Emergency Quest: Kill the remaining shinobi on the battlefield. 0/12
Rewards: +1 Skill Box (SB), +1 in any stat of your choice.
Failure or refusal will result in death.]
A red holographic screen displaying information appeared in front of her eyes. Tsukimi was bewildered by the quest requirements and even more so by the consequences of not taking it.
"If I don't take it I die, but even if I do, I can't do anything against those shinobi! I'm in a child's body!" Tsukimi silently raged. She looked at the katana she grabbed and seriously weighed her odds.
"Do I at least have a status or skills I can equip?" She asked and the system delivered.

"I see, maybe I'm not entirely powerless. Equip all the skills from the skill tree." She said as she unsheathed her katana. She closed her eyes and felt her chakra flowing throughout her body. It wasn't blue and wispy like normal it had the same consistency and color as ink.
She manifested her chakra on her hand and it took the form of multiple snakes. She decided to test her kekkai genkai and wrote the kanji for fire on her katana.
*FWOOSH*
Instantly, orange fire manifested on her blade and she felt a significant dip in her chakra reserves, "Is the strength of the kanji based on how much chakra I use?"
She assumed as much and got herself ready for battle. She wrote 'lightning enhancement' on herself and her body sparked with lightning. She felt much lighter and smiled as she dashed towards the battlefield.
"Another enemy!" A leaf shinobi yelled as he tried to weave hand signs. Tsukimi jumped and used [Downward Strike] splitting the man's head open. The smell of burning flesh filled the air as Tsukimi ran towards her next target.
"Earth Style: Mud Wall!" The shinobi yelled as he slammed his hands against the ground, creating a huge wall of earth. Tsukimi quickly erased the fire kanji on her sword and replaced it with heat instead. Now her sword was bright red and it easily cut through the wall of earth.
She decapitated the man and narrowly dodged a fireball, 'I need more speed! But if I use any more chakra I'm finished. Fuck it.'
She quickly placed her hand on the lightning enhancement kanji and poured the rest of her chakra reserves into it. Blood leaked out of her nose as her hair spiked up and her body gained a blue hue.
"I'm like Killua now." She mumbled as she dodged another fireball. She vanished from her position and instantly reappeared in front of the shinobi who fired it.
"AH!" He screamed as he was decapitated. Tsukimi then jumped in the air dodging a shinobi trying to grab her from underground. She flipped in the air and extended her leg.
"[SKY HAMMER]!!" She yelled as she landed a devastating axe kick on the shinobi, popping his head like a balloon.
[4/12]
'Damn, I only killed four?! I already feel like passing out!' She gritted her teeth and tightened her grip around her katana. The rest of the shinobi regrouped and they surrounded her.
"She's only a child, we're more than enough for her!" One shinobi yelled but then his skull was quickly pierced by Tsukimi's blade. She flipped away using his body, dodging a column of water. But her dodging that attack left her open for another one, and a shinobi spat a huge plume of fire out of his mouth.
'FUCK!' Tsukimi couldn't turn around in time and had her whole back burned. She wanted to wallow in agony but if she stopped now, even for a second, she would die. So, she quickly pivoted her foot and decapitated the man in an instant.
[6/12]
Her vision began to go blurry and the pain from her burn really began to set in, yet she still pressed on. She blocked a column of water with her blade turning it into steam. Using the steam as a smokescreen, she stabbed another shinobi through the heart and slit the throat of another.
[8/12]
She then deflected the kunai from another shinobi, quickly picked it up, and threw it back at him with deadly accuracy.
"HAAAHHH!!" A shinobi yelled as he swung his blade. Tsukimi used her child body to her advantage and ran between the man's legs. She then decapitated him from behind. She grabbed his head and threw it at another shinobi. He tried to deflect it and the time he spent doing that led to his demise as Tsukimi nearly bisected the man.
"Shit!!" The last shinobi yelled as he tried to run away. Tsukimi tossed her blade in the air and kicked the pommel. It cut through the air and landed in the man's skull.
[12/12]
[Emergency Quest complete!]
[+1 SB, +1 In any stat of your choosing.]
"F-Fortitude…" Tsukimi weakly mumbled as she dragged herself off the battlefield. Her kanji was erased and she slowly felt unconsciousness creeping up on her.
[+1 FORT!]
A few minutes later, she returned to the destroyed house and finally passed out.
