Chapter 10 - Naruto Part Two
The village was just an ordinary place for Naruto, especially as he was the son of the Great Hokage. Everyone respected him and looked up to him, but even with these things in his possession, there were other things he desired to possess.
He was now at home in his room, practicing his chakra control skills. One of the most important of these was the way he glued the leaves to his hand.
He held the paper and said, "I must succeed in pinning you down so I can defeat Itachi."
Fighting Itachi was the only thing Naruto cared about during his time at the academy, not because everyone else was weak, but because he was so strong. He didn't say it out of narcissism, but he knew he was stronger than many at the academy.
The only person who was able to stand up to him was Itachi.
The Sharingan eyes Itachi had awakened had always given him a huge advantage over Naruto, and that wasn't far from the truth. Naruto was aware of these eyes' dangerous ability to anticipate weapon attacks.
After completing the leaf training, he wanted to study longer. He knew that his grade wasn't first in his class, but third this time, unlike the previous times he had competed with Itachi. There had been a significant change in ranks.
All thanks to Kazuki Suzuki, he was a completely new person to Naruto, he hadn't even realized it until a few days ago, he had suddenly started getting full marks in class, not only that, but the thing that surprised him the most was that even the Hokage, who was his son, had given him the ability to pass the exam early.
Even Naruto had this privilege but Naruto was still aware of the efforts he had to put in to get this opportunity, he was at the top of the class without a doubt the only person who was fighting and was his equal was Itachi but now suddenly he was in third place in terms of studies, it's true he was in first and second place sometimes in fighting but he always wanted to become better.
Finally, the paper slipped out of Naruto's hand after he was distracted for a moment.
"That's bad, I lost my focus," he said, catching the fallen paper and putting it back in his hand. He was in his room, and no one was bothering him. However, his thoughts were more inclined towards the challenges he faced.
He wanted to become stronger to prove himself to his mother and father, whom he felt he had lost since he was young. He felt they no longer cared about him; even his mother no longer cared whether he ate or not.
It was sad and weighed more heavily on him than anything else, but he couldn't do anything else.
He was ready to head out after his morning training. He practiced this every day, but today was different. It was the day he would train with his Third Grandfather.
On his way to the village, Naruto encountered a large group of people who always greeted him. He would simply smile and greet them as he passed, but in his head...
Who would do this to me because I'm the Hokage's son? This thought bothered Naruto a bit, but he shook his head and moved on. "It doesn't matter. Anyway, I'll become stronger and leave a good impression so everyone will remember me instead of my father."
"Naruto, it's you," Hiruzen said in a tender voice as he watched his grandson approach her. They hugged each other.
"Grandpa, are you okay? You came just in time." Naruto said in a childish voice. He only made that sound in front of his grandfather, whom he loved very much. Unlike his father, who was always busy with work, and his mother, who constantly watched over his younger siblings, his grandfather always supported him and trained him in secret. He even grew stronger with their presence.
Hiruzen held his back and said, "I'm fine. You still have a long time to go before you defeat me, Naruto." Naruto wanted to prove this by quickly lifting him up and placing him on the table. He was nine years old, so the Hokage, who had trained his whole life, saw no problem with this.
"Stop it, Grandpa. You're no longer a child." Naruto said sadly, but a happy smile spread across his face, bringing a smile back to the former Hokage's face.
Then it's time to train, isn't it? At that moment, Naruto followed Hiruzen and walked right behind the former Hokage's house. They were standing next to each other.
"Well, have you practiced chakra control?" the former Hokage asked the child in front of him, "Who is your grandson?" He watched him grow up, and he was very happy to watch him and train him. He had done what he couldn't do with his son, which had always caused him great regret, but now he could do it with his grandson.
Naruto smiled and said directly to me, "Yes, Grandpa, you did it." I looked at him silently, "That's amazing." I didn't hide my happy smile. The boy in front of me wasn't ordinary at all. He was a genius.
Naruto took out dozens of leaves, placed them on his hand, and began controlling them. Not a single leaf fell. After three minutes, the young man in front of Hiruzen began breathing normally.
He began his training in front of his grandfather by placing the cards evenly on each hand. He continued to control and shape them. His grandfather said that this was the best training to control the large amount of chakra he possessed. "Well done, Naruto, this is amazing," my grandfather said, looking at me with a satisfied expression. I smiled and looked at him as well. "Grandfather, I will definitely become stronger," I said while training. "Controlling ten or more cards was no problem for me. I spent a long time learning this skill and it was very useful."
Naruto remembered his days at home. His focus on training had always helped him overcome his parents' neglect. Naruto looked at this. Meanwhile, Grandpa pointed to his hands, and then I saw a piece of paper clutched in his hand.
This is another way to train the chakra. He said at the same time that the paper in his hand began to tear. He looked at my grandfather and then said again:
You know your element is Wind. I've now decided that you're ready to begin training in it. I was very pleased with my grandfather's words. Training in the elements wasn't difficult, but finding a teacher to train you was. I asked my father to train me. Even Itachi had fire and its techniques, and I only had clone, transposition, and transformation techniques.
I must now tell you how you can train the elemental, said the Jedi, and then began speaking again.
A person can only train their element with this training. Look at my hands carefully.
Naruto, who knew the secret to his grandfather, said that the paper in the Third Hokage's hand was cut as soon as it entered the chakra.
Well, Grandpa, it's as simple as tearing paper, isn't it? "That's easy," I said confidently. It wasn't difficult after he thought it over. In the end, it didn't seem much different from basic chakra control.
Hiruzen saw Naruto's happiness and confidence, smiled and gave him the paper and said, "It may seem easy, but you will know the result after training."
You can hold any card you want and practice after giving it to the card. I watched Naruto channel the chakra into it. I smiled at that sight. Naruto had always been a genius. He probably inherited his father's immense intelligence, which enabled him to use the teleportation technique.
Naruto began to press himself as he put chakra into the paper. I was watching the scene. It seemed he hadn't figured out the secret yet. Naruto said, "Seriously, why don't you cut the paper? I'm releasing large amounts and you haven't cut this paper."
He seemed to feel like a failure. It wasn't a good idea to tell him the secret. "It's simple, Naruto. You should know that mastering this elemental manipulation skill is extremely difficult even for a genius ninja if you want to defeat Itachi."
I smiled and smirked at Itachi. I knew this was exciting for him. It seemed I had succeeded when he shouted, "I will definitely surpass Itachi and become stronger."
His friendship with the highly intelligent Uchiha seemed to have increased his enthusiasm. Naruto began training his new element again. He was more balanced this time and began to concentrate more. The paper in front of me seemed to shake more. Naruto was the most perceptive person he knew, which was very surprising to me.
Hiruzen's idea about how many people have the ability to measure the battlefield through sensing, and Naruto having this ability even though he hasn't trained on it yet, is still very useful and he seems to be taking advantage of it now.
What do I have to do to succeed? This question began to cross Naruto's mind. At first, I fired chakra into the paper like I do when I want it to stick, and then it failed. After that, I turned to something different.
I grabbed the paper and started releasing chakra, trying to destroy it, but something seemed wrong.
There were drops of sweat dripping from my head but I didn't care I was focused on this training most of the time my grandfather was training me in everything he even made me a better fighter maybe it's time to use chakra sensing this was a passive ability I had I was able to sense everyone around me whenever I wanted this was the ability that allowed me to reach anyone I needed in the village
Also escaping from the ANBU who were chasing me, maybe even my father felt that they were wasting their time tracking me down and that's why he didn't send them anymore, but this was more of a happy thing for him.
After using his sensory ability, I was able to see and sense my own chakra. As my grandfather said, the amount of chakra I possessed was very large compared to others at the academy.
He is even much bigger than Itachi by a huge margin which according to my grandfather prevents me from using higher techniques even makes it difficult due to my inability to use higher techniques because I cannot control enough chakra to perform a technique
I remember my grandfather's words, "Naruto, you cannot use advanced techniques if you do not have the ability to control a large amount of your chakra."
Grandpa, what do I have to do to have all this power? I have to get stronger to defeat Itachi.
See these papers? You have to glue them first. You have to learn this. Learning this will make you stronger. You don't lack physical strength, you just need to increase your control.
"Is this normal? Why do I have so much chakra?"
That's only natural, of course. You're from the Uzumaki clan. Your mother had this much chakra from birth, probably even more than you.
After regaining my memory, I realized that too much might not be bad, but at the same time, it might not be good. "I still need to practice, but at least I have this new training."
Meanwhile, while I was practicing, an hour passed, yes, an hour of sitting trying to cut a piece of paper. It was a confrontation between me and the paper, and then I realized how difficult it was.
This leaf was such a stubborn enemy that I couldn't cut it in any way. I tried to concentrate. I became more and more capable of sensing. My grandfather also told me that I might become the best chakra senser in the village in the future.
But even this important ability that allowed me to get to know so many people wasn't very useful for control because the amount I had was so overwhelming.
If I could compare, the amount of chakra my future grandfather possessed probably wouldn't have been that far behind me. I'm even so far behind Itachi that if I wanted to say I would use a jutsu, I'd probably use several, whereas Itachi could barely use two at the time.
That's why I found mastering this so important. I was so focused on the paper at the time, then a thought occurred to me: "I may not be able to do this alone, but what if I had some support?"
Naruto remembered the skill he loved using during training. Suddenly, a wave of white mist exploded, and three Narutos appeared alongside the original Naruto.
The Hokage, who was sitting on a park bench, was surprised by this, but remained silent, wanting to know what Naruto would do. He saw three clones of Naruto appear.
He placed his hand on his chin, a smile spreading across his face. "That would definitely be nice," he said, realizing it.
-----
This chapter is about Naruto. I want this story to have dimensions that go beyond the hero. In this regard, I find that Naruto's way of developing himself is to strive to make this story rich with words, as if it were a real story and a book.
