It has taken him several days to reach any type of civilization.
His first contact was with a small town that seemed to be centered around an oasis.
The citizens had been rather put off at the sight of a basically naked, blonde haired, bleeding man limping his way into the town.
Luckily some of the town members decided to show him a bit of mercy and patched him up.
Unfortunately, they spoke a completely different language than his own, forcing him to eventually leave.
From there, he spent the better part of several months exploring the world.
The world he found himself in was entirely different from his own.
The absence of Chakra within humans was the first big shock.
Chakra was basically non-existent in the world.
Pure nature chakra was even harder to find as the pollution being spewed out by the humans clouded the world.
The second big shock was the advancement in technology.
Back in his world, trains and Chakra armor were some of the most advanced technology he had laid his eyes on.
In this world, a train was considered obsolete compared to the flying machines that sped across the sky faster than the speed of sound.
Eventually, after much travelling, Naruto had decided to settle down in Japan.
The people here spoke the same language as him and the culture was rather accepting of some ridiculous things.
He figured he would be able to easily fit in despite his lack of knowledge.
The first thing he had done was make his way to a library.
After creating some clean clothes for himself using the henge technique, he had snuck his way into bathroom of the library and created several clones.
Naruto and his clone crew then spent the rest of the day going through the vast number of books, absorbing some basic information that would better help him blend into this society.
The first obstacle he ran into was the fact that he did not exist.
According to the government, he had no social security number, no passport, no license, absolutely nothing.
His first task was to remediate it.
This had taken a lot of infiltration, document manipulation and even a tiny bit of genjutsu usage.
That last one had taken a very long amount of time due to his utter lack of any knowledge regarding the art.
Though in the end, he managed to cast one that made it slightly easier to influence others to go along with his will.
An amateur technique that any beginning Genin could have learned in a matter of days but to Naruto, it had taken weeks and proved to be a giant success.
So according to the government, he was Naruto Uzumaki, orphaned since birth with no family ties whatsoever.
He spent the first 16 years of his life in an orphanage in Tokyo before eventually finding himself a job.
After scraping together enough money, the young man purchased a small property that, with a combination of henge’d clones, he managed to turn into a respectable shop that sold sweets of all kind.
Of course he had originally wanted it to be ramen themed in remembrance of all the good times he had at Ichiraku’s but decided against it once he realized that no matter what he did, his ramen would always pale in comparison to the legendary noodles.
Also he had been surviving off of cheap sweets since his arrival in this world so might as well start making his own.
After making sure the shop was completely finished, he began to advertise.
Due to his rather small budget, he was forced to stand in front of the store and hand out flyers.
He had a clone in the back, making a small amount of treats that he would give out as samples.
Meanwhile he would stand outside, a plate full of treats in one hand and a handful of flyers in the other.
It had all started off rather slow but once a brave couple had stepped forward and tried a stick of dango, it all picked up.
Steadily, a stream of customers slowly began to enter the shop.
His clone began to serve the people outside while he attended to the others outside.
By the end of the day, he had managed to make over sixty thousand yen in profit.
That night, he managed to sleep very well in the backroom of his shop.
Over the next several weeks, his shop had experienced a wide range of success.
It had become a local hit around the neighborhood and Naruto managed to even acquire some people he would even call “regulars”.
Everything was going quite well for the blonde haired boy.
Things changed on the day he met Koneko.
He had once again been advertising his store when he felt something he hadn’t felt in a very long time, a large source of chakra.
His eyes had immediately locked on to the white haired girl that had been dejectedly walking down the street towards him.
Her emotions were visible to everyone as she trotted down the street.
Though, unlike everyone else, Naruto could detect a small output of chakra coming from her.
The girl immediately caught his interest and he knew he had to know more about her.
So he decided to offer her a sample.
He did not expect for the girl to suddenly rush into his shop and set up camp in a seat.
