The next day, Naruto wakes up late, which is something unusual since Naruto always wakes up early in the morning; even before the sun rises on the horizon, he is already awake.
The probable cause for this was Naruto, who, after eating dinner, didn't sleep immediately but instead read some books he stole from Minato's office and slept when it was already midnight.
It doesn't really matter for Naruto the reason why he overslept since he can just quickly adjust his usual schedule for today due to this little incident.
Naruto went downstairs after washing himself, and the moment he arrived, he realized that no one was currently in the house except him.
Naruto was slightly surprised by this since he didn't hear from anyone that they were going out this day, but that was it.
He wasn't disappointed that he wasn't with them. How can he be disappointed when he didn't place any expectation with them?
Naruto swiftly made his own breakfast using the available ingredients the kitchen had, which were mostly some noodles, thanks to the fact most of them like it.
Naruto didn't like it or hate it particularly.
After he finished cooking and eating his breakfast, he slowly left the house and made his way back to his place in the forest.
The moment he arrives at the forest, he immediately starts his training, which he personally created.
While the training wouldn't be really efficient due to his inexperience, Naruto hopes that he can watch other people's training and use it as a reference to optimize his training.
Naruto long realized that he had an abnormally large amount of chakra reserves within him, and this wasn't due to the soul of the Nine-Tailed Fox but his own personal reserves.
From the data he gathered after observing the Leaf ninjas, he concludes that he had the same chakra reserves as low-Kage-level chakra reserves.
This discovery really made Naruto question himself about who he really is. He wasn't looking for the answer about what kind of person he was since he was still 3 years old.
What really questions him is if he is really a human being.
Even his siblings didn't have the same level of reserve as him. While they had large reserves compared to other 3-year-old children, if the three are compared to Naruto's own reserves, the gap between them is like heaven and earth.
The only reason why Minato, Kushina, and others didn't sense his large reserves of chakra is due to his perfect control over it.
Which enabled him to suppress his chakra and mask it like he had the same reserves of chakra as a civilian 3-year-old kid.
Still, this question didn't stop Naruto from training and experimenting with his powers.
Speaking of training, Naruto uses the Shadow Clone Technique and creates around 100 clones.
Naruto manages to learn the secret ability of the Shadow Clone Technique, and he would be stupid if he didn't abuse it to strengthen himself.
Right now he orders the 100 clones to use the Transformation Technique so they can transform into different people while watching how the ninjas trained, especially the Genin.
Naruto also sends some of his clones to the Ninja Academy if he can learn anything about the training needed to be a ninja.
Currently Naruto is doing a warm-up exercise before training in the martial arts style he stole from Minato's office as well as the basic martial arts style taught in the Ninja Academy.
Naruto is even planning to secretly steal all the Leaf Ninja's clan martial arts styles.
The reason for this plan was simple actually. He is planning to use these martial art styles to create his own by using them as references.
Of course he didn't make a move just yet since he was still gathering information about the layout of each clan's territory.
Once he gathers enough intel and creates the plans on how to enter the clan's library, that's the time he will take action.
After Naruto finishes his warm-up exercise, he immediately starts practicing the martial art style he learned through reading.
To not waste time practicing each martial arts style, Naruto also created another 100 Shadow Clones to practice the martial arts styles he knew.
After a few hours of intense training, Naruto, standing in the field with sweat slowly dropping on his face.
Naruto knows that he really needs someone with experience telling him about the bad habits he might develop, but he knows no one who is willing to train him, so he can only do trial and error to perfect his movements.
Thanks to his perfect chakra control, Naruto had incredible stamina, which made him train more intensely for long periods of time, but he also knew that he had to balance everything, or else he might injure himself if he was being careless.
Naruto dispels his shadow clones, and the memories and experiences they had immediately try to flood his brain, but Naruto didn't find this rush of information uncomfortable since, from the moment he can remember, his brain has always been getting bombarded with information thanks to his unique eyes.
This is why he always wears his dark sunglasses to lessen the burden on his brain.
The memories and experiences that flow in his brain at this moment might be large, but compared to the information that his uncovered eyes gather, the burden of the memories and experiences wasn't a problem.
After he finished taking a 15-minute break, he immediately proceeded with his next training, which was about the Sealing Arts.
He already had all the materials he needed to practice, either by stealing them from Minato's office once again or by stealing the money and purchasing them with his clone, who transformed into another ninja.
Naruto has already experienced being rejected by the owner of the store, and he finds it a hassle to deal with these kinds of people, so he creates a plan to not experience it once again.
As for that owner, though, everyone found him dead while hanging in his own store. As for who did it, nobody knows.
Back to Naruto, who immediately creates another 100 Shadow Clones who were training calligraphy as well as the creation of the special ink.
While Naruto had advanced knowledge of the Sealing Arts, he had zero practical experience, so he needs to practice to turn his knowledge into skill.
After another few hours of practice, Naruto stops, as it's already late in the afternoon, and a few minutes from now the sun is going to disappear on the horizon.
Naruto still planned to read a few books he hid inside his room. He hides the books in order to avoid being caught by Kushina and Minato.
After packing everything he gathered, he slowly made his way back to the village. Naruto didn't plan to immediately go back home for a moment, but instead he had to visit a specific store to eat dinner.
After some time Naruto was finally about to arrive at the specific store, which is the Ichiraku Ramen. He sometimes visits the Ichiraku Ramen and orders one bowl of Miso Pork Ramen.
Just as he was a few dozen meters away, he suddenly heard a familiar voice, which ruined his mood completely.
"Mom, I want another bowl of soy sauce ramen."
"I also want another bowl of salt ramen."
"Okay, let's order that one," a woman with long red hair said in a warm voice. "Teuchi-san, I'll have one bowl of soy sauce ramen and salt ramen for my children."
"Coming right up!" Teuchi said loudly while enjoying himself cooking the ramen.
Minato and Kushina, along with the three children, are having a good time eating ramen while talking about what they did today.
Their light atmosphere made everyone who was currently dining at the store also feel fulfilled, which attracted more customers who also happened to pass by.
Everyone felt happy except for one person who had been staring at the store for a few moments now.
'Annoying,' Naruto coldly thought to himself.
Naruto changes his destination for this day since he didn't want to dine in alongside his family.
Naruto went to a secluded alleyway, making sure no one saw him as he used the Transformation Technique to transform into a random male adult as he made his way towards a restaurant where he could eat his dinner in peace.
After finding the perfect place to eat dinner, he immediately placed the order and waited patiently for the arrival of the meal. After the meal arrives, Naruto quietly eats at the corner of the restaurant.
Naruto eats slowly, trying to enjoy the flavor of the meal. The meals weren't bad or good, just average in Naruto's opinion.
Even despite such flavor, Naruto still continues to savor it every single time he bites.
The moment he finishes eating and leaves the restaurant, it's already dark, with the only light source being the streetlights as well as the buildings nearby.
Naruto slowly made his way back home, and throughout the entire time it was quiet and peaceful, which is something he really enjoyed.
