4: Chapter 4: Chakra Extraction SuccessfulLet's rewind to the afternoon, on Naruto's way home.
"Lord Hokage, Naruto was hit on the head with stones by some village children on his way back, and he is bleeding."
After witnessing Naruto being injured by a rock, an ANBU member chose to remain indifferent and reported to Hiruzen Sarutobi in the Hokage's office.
"What!Naruto didn't lose control, did he?" The first thing Hiruzen Sarutobi was concerned about wasn't how badly Naruto was injured, but whether the Nine-Tails inside Naruto had gone out of control.
After all, Naruto is still just a child and doesn't have good emotional control.If he loses control of his emotions and the Nine-Tails breaks free from its seal, or if the Nine-Tails' chakra leaks out, he could be at risk.
All of this will affect his reputation as the Third Hokage, since it was he who made Naruto live in the village.
"No, he didn't say anything.A passing Chunin, along with Iruka Umino, a teacher at the Ninja Academy, and Mizuki, took Naruto to the hospital.Iruka Umino seemed to care about Naruto and didn't discriminate against him."
The secret service reported truthfully.
"Iruka Umino, I seem to remember him.Find his information and let me see it." Hiruzen Sarutobi held a large pipe, took a deep drag, and exhaled smoke rings as he spoke to his assistant beside him.
"Yes!" The assistant retrieved Umino Iruka's file from the data storage room.
According to the information, Iruka is an ordinary citizen with no background.
Iruka's family was originally happy and harmonious, but the Nine-Tails' attack on Konoha shattered their happy life.Iruka witnessed his parents, both Jonin, sacrifice themselves to protect the village.
After that, Iruka's personality changed drastically.He was the life of the party in front of his classmates, but he often cried silently in front of the Konoha Memorial Monument by himself.
It wasn't until he met the Third Hokage and had a conversation with him that he finally understood.
After being promoted to Chunin, he decided to stay at the Konoha Ninja Academy to nurture new life and power for the village.
After reviewing the information, Hiruzen Sarutobi remembered that he had encountered Iruka Umino before at the Konoha Memorial Monument.
I preached the Will of Fire to him back then, and it seemed to have a significant effect on him, which also influenced him to become a teacher later on.
"Judging from the information, Umino Iruka is diligently practicing the Will of Fire, so he seems like a good teacher.The Ninja Academy will start in a month, so let him be the teacher of this class."
The camera focuses on the documents that Hiruzen Sarutobi is working on.
This is a preliminary list of new students to be admitted to the Ninja Academy.
This list contains all the most famous families in Konoha; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it Konoha's elite class.
The names of Uchiha Sasuke, Hyuga Hinata, Inuzuka Kiba, Aburame Shino, Nara Shikamaru, Akimichi Choji, and Yamanaka Ino are all prominently featured.
"Sakura Haruno's grades seem pretty good too, she can get into this class.As for Naruto?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Naruto Uzumaki's name and pondered for a long time, unsure whether to let him enter the Ninja Academy.
Naruto's entry into the Ninja Academy had both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage is that at the Ninja Academy, Naruto is very likely to make friends, build bonds in Konoha, and have the opportunity to hear the teachers preach the Will of Fire.
That will be more beneficial to Konoha.
The downside is that after graduating from the Ninja Academy, Naruto will have to work as a ninja, doing missions everywhere, which is quite detrimental to controlling Kurama (the Nine-Tails).
Furthermore, if Naruto's identity is revealed, those parents who are unaware of the situation might cause a scene after he enrolls in school.
Thinking about this, Hiruzen Sarutobi also felt a bit of a headache.He looked at the photo of Minato, the successor to the Hokage, wearing the divine robes, which was still on the table.
"Forgive me, Minato.I will raise Naruto well for you and train him to become an excellent ninja."
After adding Naruto Uzumaki's name as well.
The strongest elite team in Konoha has been officially established, and the team leader has been appointed: Iruka Umino, who helped Naruto today.
"Let's go see Naruto tomorrow.His relief fund probably isn't enough, otherwise he wouldn't have gone out to catch fish in the wild."
Thinking of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi continued to deal with his official duties, finishing them only in the middle of the night.
It's dawn!
It was already eight o'clock in the morning.Naruto had spent his first night in the Naruto world, and there was no difference compared to his previous life.
Naruto is the type who falls asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow; he easily gets sleepy.
Sensing the watchful eyes outside, Naruto knew that he was no longer free.
It's early in the morning, and the ANBU are already at work.How much do they make a month?They're working so hard!
Since I don't have anything else to do, I might as well try extracting chakra.
So Naruto pretended to be sleepy, turned over, and went back to sleep.
In fact, they have already begun extracting chakra.
It is said that the speed at which one first extracts chakra is a manifestation of talent.
The earlier one refines chakra, the better their talent.
Naruto began to practice the god-level chakra extraction technique he had memorized.
Soon, he felt the spiritual and physical energy within his body.
Following the instructions of the God-level Chakra Extraction Technique, they were mixed together in a specific ratio.
From it, I obtained my first wisp of chakra!
Has he really succeeded?Naruto was overjoyed.Could he really be a one-in-a-million genius?
In fact, Naruto in the original work was not weak in talent either.
Thanks to the Uzumaki clan's constitution and the Nine-Tails' power bank, they don't usually need to refine their chakra or experience chakra shortages.
Everyone else has chakra, but Naruto has chatunra, so they can't be compared.
However, regarding the use of ninjutsu, due to the constant interference from the Nine-Tails, Naruto's chakra levels would be affected when using ninjutsu.It is out of control and becomes disordered.
That's why Naruto seems like a complete idiot when it comes to ninjutsu, but his talent is definitely still very high!
The feeling of success—being able to extract chakra so easily—is irresistible.
Naruto was also completely absorbed in the process and couldn't pull himself away.
Time flew by, and three hours passed quickly.
It's already eleven o'clock.
Meanwhile, in the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi had finished his official duties and had time to visit Naruto.
He raised his hand, and an ANBU member instantly appeared from a distance.
"Where is Naruto right now, and what is he doing?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked about Naruto's whereabouts, intending to go see him and talk to him about going to the Ninja Academy.
"Lord Hokage, Naruto is sleeping at home right now.He woke up once at eight in the morning and has been sleeping soundly ever since, and he's still sleeping now."
The Anbu members monitoring Naruto also took turns on duty, and the information exchange was very timely.
However, since Naruto was sleeping the whole time, there was no need to keep changing shifts, and their work was quite easy.
"This little guy has been sleeping for so long.It's time for dinner.I'll go check on him.It's been a long time since I've seen him."
Hiruzen Sarutobi organized all the information and put it away.
He left the Hokage's office and headed towards Naruto's house.
