In the desert filled with yellow sand.
The ruins of collapsed ancient buildings are scattered here and there.
They are buried by yellow sand to varying degrees, and the overall look is extremely dilapidated.
High in the sky.
A figure flashed past and finally hovered in mid-air.
Naruto looked down at the ruins and murmured to himself, "Found it? Is that it?"
He opened Kagura Shingan [FLAG: original text said "Kagura's inner eye/heart"] and explored the ground.
A stream of terrain information was transmitted into Naruto's mind.
There was indeed a very large chakra torrent beneath these ruins.
The torrent was so spectacular that it even formed a chakra river.
In the original story, it was because of this chakra river called the Dragon Vein that people traveled back to the previous world.
Naruto recalled how it worked in the original and flew down to begin searching for the seal.
After finding the seal, Naruto was in no rush to break it.
He left a Flying Thunder God kunai outside the ruins and returned to the seal again.
The reason for doing this was to avoid accidents.
Although it was possible to travel through time in the original work, he didn't know if it was possible now.
So Naruto had to make sure nothing went wrong.
He left the Flying Thunder God kunai so that in case of danger, he could teleport away.
Otherwise, he would be doomed.
Not even Naruto could survive such a terrifying amount of chakra.
Then, Naruto began to break the seal.
Naruto himself possessed extremely powerful sealing techniques and had a very deep understanding of them.
It didn't take long for Naruto to break the seal.
A burst of chakra erupted that made Naruto feel frightened.
This chakra formed a terrifying energy vortex that rolled Naruto's body up almost instantly and sucked him in.
Naruto was fully alert, and as soon as he sensed any discomfort, he planned to use Flying Thunder God to escape.
But he didn't feel pain. Instead, the scene in front of him spun rapidly, making him dizzy. Naruto passed out not long after.
…
When Naruto woke up again, he found himself in a basement.
"This... is the location of Loulan in my era?"
Naruto lay flat on the ground, relieving his discomfort.
Then he opened Kagura Shingan and sensed the situation around him.
His perception spread out from the basement.
There were many tall buildings outside, and a tall tower stood in the center.
Naruto's familiar villain from the movie didn't appear—he was the only one here.
And Naruto soon discovered that many people were gathered in the center of Loulan.
The men were listening to a speech from a woman standing on the high tower.
That person...
She should be the Queen of Loulan.
Because it was so long ago, Naruto could only vaguely recall her image.
But her name was forgotten.
It didn't matter—Naruto wasn't here for the movie plot this time.
Naruto had both Uzumaki and Senju bloodlines.
After sensing the outside world for a while, his body completely recovered.
Naruto sat up and began thinking about what to do.
His purpose was to reduce the difficulty of the system's tasks.
And the system would issue tasks based on what Naruto experienced.
As long as Naruto joined Konoha during this era and pretended to be an ordinary person, there was a high chance that Sarutobi Hiruzen would assign him to the Ninja Academy.
At that time, Naruto would find opportunities to complete system missions.
Then the system would release tasks with lower difficulty.
But Naruto's face had already been used in the future world.
If he appeared here and joined the academy now, it might cause changes to the future world.
If people in the future learned early on that Naruto would grow extremely powerful, they might try to control him while he was still a child.
That would be very troublesome.
So Naruto decided to change his appearance.
But Naruto's Transformation Jutsu was unreliable.
So he called out to Kurama inside him for help: "Kurama, do you know the Transformation Jutsu?"
Kurama: "Don't insult me with your humans' low-level ninjutsu. What Nine Tails can't handle something like that?"
*Grumpy Kurama misunderstood what he meant, so Naruto quickly explained, "I want to learn a more advanced Transformation Technique so I can avoid trouble."
"Oh? You really need to learn that?" Kurama was obviously confused.
What confused him was why Naruto couldn't improve the Transformation Jutsu himself with his talent.
But Kurama didn't waste time and directly taught Naruto the advanced Transformation Technique.
After Naruto tested it, the effect of this advanced technique was dozens of times stronger than the original.
And unless Naruto allowed it, the transformation couldn't be dispelled.
Then—
After some attempts, Naruto finally used the advanced Transformation Technique to become another person.
His face shape was similar, but he now had black hair and black eyes, looking more childlike and cute. There were no whisker marks on his face.
The reason he became younger was so he could blend into the Ninja Academy.
Seeing Naruto behave strangely, Kurama asked, "What are you planning to do?"
Naturally, Naruto couldn't mention the system, so he explained that he had come to the past and wanted to take a look at Konoha.
Kurama felt bored after hearing that and stopped responding after one last comment.
"You're really having fun."
Naruto: "..."
After that, Naruto quietly left Loulan in his transformed appearance.
Finding a deserted place, Naruto used Flying Thunder God to travel quickly.
After approaching the Land of Fire, he stopped, found a very secluded place, and hid his ninja gear inside it.
For example, forehead protector, ninja tools, scrolls, and the like.
What?
Why were there no Soldier Pills?
Sorry, Naruto never needed those.
After hiding everything, Naruto made a Flying Thunder God mark and rushed toward Konoha with confidence.
…
So, under what name and identity should he enter Konoha?
Naruto thought for a while and made a decision.
He walked toward Konoha's gate and was stopped by the guard ninja.
"Hey, hey, kid."
The gatekeeper ninja stopped Naruto and asked, "You look unfamiliar. What are you doing in Konoha?"
This was not wartime, so the guard's tone was simply questioning.
Naruto stated directly, "I want to come to Konoha to take on a mission."
Gatekeeper Ninja: "Then go register."
After registration, Naruto successfully entered Konoha.
He arrived at the mission desk and stated that he wanted to learn ninjutsu.
Since Naruto's request was suspicious and sensitive, two ninjas escorted him directly to the Hokage Building.
After entering the office, Naruto met the middle-aged Sarutobi Hiruzen.
When Hiruzen heard Naruto's request from his subordinates, he smiled and asked, "Who are you? And why do you want to learn ninjutsu?"
