After washing up, Naruto made his way to his bedroom, carrying a notebook and a pencil.
( I better write down some important things first )
This would be his direction for the year ahead. Naruto climbed onto the bed and lay on his stomach, staring at the blank pages for a moment before opening the notebook. Taking the pencil in hand, he steadied himself, ready to decide his future.
" Five attribute Ninjutsu "
Why? Because whether Naruto used it for Sage Arts or combined these jutsu with the Kyuubi's chakra in the future—even to create new forms of Rasengan—this knowledge would come in handy.
Naruto's system was unlike any he had read about in his previous life. The level it showed didn't represent his real strength or ability.
" Chakra Control "
Everything was interconnected.
Even the chakra control Naruto practiced followed the same fundamental principles taught to academy students and medical shinobi alike. Mastery didn't come from shortcuts, but from understanding how every piece fit together.
It was only due to the constant interference of the Kyuubi's chakra that the system failed to display his true level.
Chakra control was no longer optional—it was essential. By training other jutsu, Naruto could refine that control, strengthen his overall abilities, and at the same time create a perfect smokescreen to hide his real progres
" Taijutsu "
Taijutsu wasn't simply about brute force. It depended on how chakra flowed through the body, reinforcing muscles, sharpening speed, and increasing strength .
The word jutsu wasn't there by accident. With his Uzumaki body and knowledge of the future, Naruto understood that only Taijutsu, Sage Arts, and Sealing techniques would be truly effective.
Every move Naruto practiced, every jutsu he honed, was carefully chosen to maximize his strength, exploit his unique abilities, and prepare him for what was coming.
Taijutsu was another core skill he would focus on.
" Kunai "
Flying Thunder God. Training with the kunai wasn't optional—it was essential. Since he had already begun to train Kunai then Naruto would push himself to the limit.
Perfecting every throw and every strike. The weapon had to become an extension of his speed, strategy, and foresight, capable of acting faster than any enemy could react .
Chakra control through the weapon was key. It wasn't enough to throw it fast—he had to synchronize his chakra with the kunai so that speed, trajectory, and impact were perfect.
Combined with his Flying Thunder God technique, it became unpredictable. An enemy couldn't anticipate where it would come from, when it would strike, or how deadly it would be .
" Sealing "
Hmmm… Kaguya and Black Zetsu could probably only be sealed. That meant learning Sealing Techniques wasn't optional—it had to be on the agenda.
The question was… where to start, with so many eyes watching every move? Every step would need planning, every practice calculated .
(Let's start with the basics ......Basics for All of these things will be learned under those eyes around , and mastered too , I can find ways to get more ......Let's focus on these for this year )
Having made up his mind, Naruto rolled over, letting his thoughts drift to Sign-in—planning and already weighing his next moves.
( Let's start by signing in at the academy from now on… and see if I can 'grow' an Academy Student SKill , all the way to a 6th-year level, then test whether it can follow through to Genin. If this works, it could show just how far training and guidance can push someone)
There was another thing he planned to do behind everyone's back in the bathroom—but this one, he wouldn't write down. Some lessons were meant to be learned quietly, without leaving a trace
Having decided on his next course of action, Naruto turned over, placed the notebook on the nearby table, and tucked himself in, turning off the lights as he drifted to sleep.
No one noticed a thing. In the dead of night, the notebook vanished from the table—and then, just ten minutes later, it quietly returned, leaving no trace of where it had been in the meantime
============
Uzumaki Apartment :
Waking up to a new day, Naruto completed his morning routine and headed to The SlaughterHouse for his new job.
Getting inside ,Naruto met with Boss Busa with a 'cheerful' greeting
" Boss.....!!!"
" yo Naruto , Finally here , let's goo....!!! "
As He walked with Boss Busa, Naruto came face-to-face with a tall, middle-aged man. Boss Busa stopped and introduced him
" Kochaan , Here's the new lad , train him well ehh "
" This little thing… shouldn't you be teaching the kid not to play with knives? "
" hahaha , the kid's got chakra and is a student of academy , Teuchi introduced too , You understand now hohoh "
Hearing the remark, the man's eyes widened in amazement.
Chakra wasn't something anyone could wield. Only one in a thousand even had the potential, and of those, only a select few—true prodigies—rose to greatness. They weren't just skilled; they were superhuman.
70% of Village's Ninja are just Genins.
The villagers of Konoha all knew how extraordinary chakra and a skilled shinobi could be. That's why so many yearned for it—a chance to change their destiny, to rise above the ordinary .
Looking at Naruto, The Tall man thought
( With chakra alone, the kid could match the strength of an adult—but only for a limited time. Even so… that was enough to make a difference. Although… Busa had mentioned the work would last no more than two hours )
The man looked at Naruto, then spoke for himself.
"The skills of a butcher require precise knife handling, accurate cutting and deboning, and careful grinding and mincing," The Man said , eyes fixed on Naruto. "You'll assist me for now—and everything you do will be under my eye."
The Man looked at Busa and gives a nod .
(This isn't just a job. It's about forming ties with capable shinobi—a long-term investment , Busa had mentioned Teuchi too, meaning he is investing in both )
The man paused, thinking to himself for a moment, before asking a seemingly normal question.
" What's your name kiddo "
" Uzumaki Naruto "
" ......WHAT ......BUSAAA ..!! "
" Hahahaaha "
===========================
Returning home from his first day at the new job, Naruto headed to the bathroom before making his way to the Academy.
On the way to the Academy, Naruto couldn't help but think about the reaction of his superior, Kocchan. The Man's reaction made him let out a quiet chuckle .
After grumbling and cursing under his breath, Kocchan finally reached a deal with Boss Busa .
And true to his word, the man worked him to the bone for two hours. But strangely
( I didn't feel any malice ......like other times )
After a quick walk to the Academy, Naruto approached the open door of the classroom, took a breath, and stepped inside.
As Naruto entered, the class grew silent. He made his way to his seat and sat down, his eyes instinctively flicking to the clock on the wall. There were still ten minutes before class started. .
Looking around the class, Naruto noticed that some students were still outside the gate, while others were already settled in their seats. His gaze briefly passed over Ino, who was surrounded by two or three girls in the center of the room.
( Her group seems to have shrunk ? )
Ino was quick to notice Naruto as he entered. Her eyes met his, and she waved, a playful smile tugging at the corners of her lips. The girls surrounding her couldn't help but giggle, exchanging knowing glances .
Naruto couldn't help but wonder
( Are they really okay with Ino associating with the "demon fox"? )
Naruto shook the thought off. It wasn't that the kids were evil or anything; they were just misguided, stuck in the fear and misunderstandings they'd been raised with.
Even in the original story, Naruto had been recognized by a few people—before his heroic acts—despite the fact that most knew him as the "Demon-Fox."
There had always been a handful who saw beyond the rumors, beyond the fear. They just never spoke up, and the majority remained blind to who Naruto really was.
( Only idiots and fools would buy into all that crap )
Naruto grumbled inside his head
( If it weren't for the trauma of losing their families to the Kyuubi, no one would still believe that ridiculous story. )
Clearing his head , Naruto's thoughts drifted back to his decision for future Sign-in
(16 days of daily Sign-in until I hit Academy Student 4th year ........ I should also incorporate Accelerated Training and Rejuvenation throughout )
Just as Naruto was lost in his thoughts about the jutsu training and everything he'd planned the night before, a totally unexpected voice drifted into his ears—without a hint of presence.
" Good Morning , Uzumaki Naruto-kun "
Goosebumps broke out over Naruto's skin. The feeling of something—or someone—so close to him without him even noticing made his heartbeat spike.
His eyes snapped to the side, and in a dry, controlled tone, Naruto spoke, forcing himself to calm his racing heart .
" .... Aburame Shino "
" Please don't be distant , Shino will do , we are classmates after all "
Naruto glanced over at Shino, observing him more closely than usual. The sight of Shino as a 9-year-old hit differently today.
Yesterday, Naruto's mind had been occupied with other plans—strategies for the future, training schedules, things that consumed his focus. Today, however, the ordinary rhythm of the Academy seemed to slow him down, and for a moment
( Shino is just another kid )
Just as Naruto was about to respond, the door to the classroom swung open, and Teacher Iruka walked in. With a brief glance at his teacher, Naruto quickly replied
" Alright , then call me Naruto too "
