Konoha, Year 52.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, walked into a somewhat old, two-story building.
Only one person lived here, and that was the current Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki, Naruto Uzumaki.
The Third Hokage, with a cigarette in his mouth, entered the living room and saw a small, thin, yellow-haired boy standing on a small stool, boiling water, with an opened instant noodle cup on the table.
Next to the instant noodle cup were some books for learning to read or basic knowledge.
Seeing this scene, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness and guilt.
Hearing the sound of the door, Naruto turned his head to look, and when he saw it was the Third Hokage, a smile appeared on his face.
"Grandpa Third, you're here!"
"Hehehe," Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled kindly, "Xiao Mingren, you're five this year. Next year, you'll be going to the Ninja Academy. Here's a scroll, study its contents carefully."
With that, Hiruzen Sarutobi pulled out a Ninjutsu scroll with an Uzumaki symbol from his sleeve.
This scroll was precisely the Uzumaki Clan's unique Chakra Extraction Technique.
Looking at the scroll for the Chakra Extraction Technique, Naruto's eyes lit up with excitement.
Seeing Naruto's excitement, Hiruzen Sarutobi walked over and patted his head, then placed this month's living expenses into the instant noodle box full of money, and then left.
All the money in the box was Naruto's accumulated living expenses over the years.
The reason he could save so much was that Naruto hadn't left the house since he was two and a half years old.
He stayed home every day, only occasionally going out for a stroll at night when the streets were empty.
After the Third Hokage left, Naruto glanced at the money in the box and then began to eat his instant noodles.
While eating his instant noodles, Naruto opened the Chakra training scroll the Third Hokage had given him.
"I've waited so long, finally I can cultivate Chakra!"
Naruto's previous life name was Chen Ming, a miserable person who was an orphan with no parents, no one to rely on, and suffering from a terminal illness.
After his death, he transmigrated to the Naruto World and became Prince Naruto.
Becoming Naruto was both a blessing and a misfortune.
The fortunate part was that as long as he followed the original plot, he would become one of the most formidable people in the Ninja World, become Hokage, marry a beautiful and wealthy woman, and reach the pinnacle of life.
The unfortunate part was that his parents died immediately after his transmigration. Naruto, who had wanted to experience paternal and maternal love after transmigrating, became an orphan again.
Not only did his parents die, but in the early stages, he was also treated as a demon fox and subjected to various forms of cold violence.
When he went out at two years old, Naruto was hit on the head with stones by several children, and it was precisely because of this that Naruto chose to stay indoors.
In his previous life, he had poor health and could only stay indoors. Now that he had transmigrated, he was still staying indoors.
As for the food problem? Could Konoha really let him, a dignified Jinchuriki, starve to death?
Naruto knew that Anbu, directly under the Hokage, was always monitoring him, so whenever he ran out of food, Naruto would choose to starve. After fainting twice from hunger, the Third Hokage realized this couldn't continue, so Anbu would deliver food on time every day.
Today, perhaps because Anbu was in a hurry, they bought instant noodles and bread.
Because the instant noodles actually tasted quite good, Naruto let the Anbu off the hook and didn't choose to refuse to eat + go on a hunger strike.
It wasn't that Naruto was being wasteful, but rather he wanted to show these idiots his importance.
He didn't want to live as miserably as Naruto did in the original story.
After opening the scroll, Naruto began to read it carefully.
Because he had been bored for the past two years, Naruto had read many books, so understanding the contents of the scroll was quite simple.
The scroll began by describing the composition of Chakra.
As Naruto understood, Chakra is a combination of physical energy, extracted cell by cell from the human body's 130 trillion cells, and spiritual energy.
The reason the Senju Clan or the Uzumaki Clan have massive Chakra is that their physical bodies are much stronger than ordinary people's.
And the scroll Hiruzen Sarutobi gave Naruto was the Uzumaki Clan's Chakra Extraction Technique, which can maximize the advantage of the Uzumaki Clan's strong physique.
After roughly reading the contents of the scroll, Naruto put down the empty instant noodle cup and began to try to refine Chakra.
After forming a few simple hand signs, Naruto began to feel it.
Soon, a warm current began to flow from his limbs and bones towards his Dantian.
Feeling this warm current, Naruto thought, "This must be Chakra."
Perhaps because he had half of the Uzumaki bloodline, Naruto's refinement of Chakra was a natural process.
The Chakra fluctuations from Naruto caused the Anbu eating instant noodles in the tree outside the window to spray out all the noodles he had just eaten.
This Anbu was naturally here to monitor Naruto. Because he delivered food to Naruto every day, he didn't deliberately hide himself too much, or else he wouldn't be eating instant noodles in a tree.
"He actually refined Chakra so quickly, what kind of monster is this kid?"
"I remember it took me more than ten days to successfully refine Chakra…"
Naruto naturally didn't know what the Anbu monitoring him was thinking.
Feeling the small amount of Chakra flowing through his meridians, a smile appeared on Naruto's lips.
Before he had refined Chakra, Naruto was still a bit worried.
After all, transmigration had occurred, so it was possible for the Crown Prince to become a Deposed Crown Prince .
When he first transmigrated, Naruto initially thought that since he transmigrated to the Naruto World, he would at least get a system or something.
After all, in both his previous life and this life, he was an orphan. Giving him a system wouldn't be too much, would it?
But after waiting for several years, Naruto didn't receive any system prompts or anything.
But thankfully, he transmigrated as the Crown Prince. If he had transmigrated as an ordinary person with no bloodline and no background, he would probably only end up as cannon fodder.
Naruto returned to his room, planning not to sleep tonight, but to refine Chakra all night, like a cultivation immortal.
Sitting on the bed, he continued to refine Chakra.
Just then, two different voices suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
"I'd like to ask who you are? Why is this great king locked in a cage? Where is this?"
"Damn Minato Namikaze, did he seal a dog when he sealed me?"
"You're the dog! This great king is a wolf, a genuine wolf!"
Listening carefully to the dialogue, Naruto was somewhat puzzled.
"What's going on? Am I hallucinating?"
Listening to the content of the conversation, one of them seemed to be Nine-Tailed, after all, he said "Damn Minato Namikaze" and also "sealed".
Who was the other one?
Wolf King?
"Holy crap! Is there a Wolf King sealed inside me too?"
Although he was very confused and really wanted to enter the Sealing Space to see what was going on.
However, Naruto didn't know how to enter the Sealing Space, so he could only continue to refine Chakra.
He closed his eyes and refined Chakra. When the Chakra circulated to his lower abdomen, Naruto suddenly heard the sound of dripping water.
Somewhat puzzled, Naruto opened his eyes, and what greeted him was a huge cage made of connecting pillars, and the character "Seal" pasted in the center of the cage.
Inside the cage, a pair of blood-red beast eyes were fiercely staring at him.
"Holy crap! I'm in already?"
