Chapter 7 - Second Sign-in

Konohagakure no sato :

Uzumaki Apartment :

" tringgggggggggg "

Hearing the ringing of his alarm clock , Naruto shifts in his bed and finally sits up groaning and slams the clock and mutters while yawning

 " ugh it's already 5:15 , gotta get up and prepare for ichiraku ......can't be late on the first day "

Getting up and going to washroom , while brushing his teeth Naruto's thought drifted to Second sign-in target for today and the reason why he needs to get up early in the morning .

Brushing his teeth-off , naruto wears his clothes and shoes and gets ready for morning jog and decided to grace Konoha early in the morning .

from slow jogging to picking up speed , he sprints off not towards Ichiraku but towards the familiar streets and after 10 minutes Naruto lookes at the familiar gates .

Konoha Academy

Jumping over the still closed gate he finally steps on the academy ground and takes a deep breath as he takes the sight of familiar scenary in the morning sunshine and focuses mentally to his system and thinks

( sign in )

Ding !

Sign in location - Konoha Academy

Reward : Growth skill - Academy student ( 1st year )

Academy student ( 1st year ) - An average first year Academy student with all comprehensive knowledge in all taught classes .

-----------------------------------------

after signing in Naruto felt a rush of memories of basic subjects that were taught 3 years ago ,

Just like when Naruto joined the academy in first year . The memories consists of maths to even culture will of fire , from taijutsu to bukijutsu like Kunai and shuriken .

How to mould Chakra , Basic chakra control exercise like Leaf-sticking exercise , basic Hand-seals and their uses , it even include how to run shinobi style .

how to regulate breath and keeping the right posture .

( it seems like i need to be careful while signing in from now on )

It took Naruto quite a while to absorb those memories and he seems to be standing still during that time , even though it was just some elementry stuff .

while reminding himself about this , Naruto focuses the important ones for him were mostly chakra and knowledge on Hand-seals .

Naruto found these things boring before .

Especially the chakra control and other basic points that teacher taught to focus on .

Walking off to the side of the tree , he bends down to pick few leaves on the ground and tried the chakra-control exercise and tried tofeel about it.

( It's like rusty player who comes back to play after 2-3 year gap , there is muscle memory in body , but still needs time to get back in shape , i feel a little powerful and energized , is it the basic strength of average 6-year old first year acdemy student )

Feeling little energized and healthy warm current inside his body that is slowly dispersing inside his body . Naruto felt it 

( very little .....but still there )

But Naruto's thoughts were on a different direction 

( If i can find jonin or Kage sign-in then .....but it's a Growth type skill , and since it says first year then there will be 2,3 and upto 6 year and then maybe Genin or )

But Naruto stops there because graduating from academy is already Genin.

( need to find new sign in for Genin , Chunin and others)

Naruto looks back towards the Hokage office .

That Building is to the very back of the academy seperated by a thin wall , If it wasn't because of his fears he would have signed in there .

( Soon......)

For now it's time to head back home and prepare for Ichiraku . Jogging back to His home , Naruto took two leaves and started practising leaf-sticking exercise with both arms .

At first The Leaves fell in every 2-4 meters , by the time he reaches his apartment The leaves only fell in between 6-9 meters .

while bathing naruto remembered last night and The training session this morning and finally focuses on his Unique skill

( Inner Strength is a real Growth skill , it helps me train and grow faster , and it's without any level cap , whereas Academy Student only targets shinobi Career , now lets see if it also affects cooking and washing dishes )

After getting out and dressing up Naruto eats some boiled eggs and milk and heads to Ichiraku at 6.40 pm

Walking slowly , the streets are filled with small amount of people , who despite seeing naruto didn't seem to react much .

Afterall

Washing up , combing his hair, putting a Half face mask and not weaing anything orange

Unless he starts shouting and dancing and proclaiming himself The Great Naruto-sama . everybody's busy with their own life .

Some friendly villagers greet him with

" Good Morning " 

 After a little surprise Naruto responds back the same

" ....Good Morning "

 after walking for 15 minutes , Naruto finally arrives at Ichiraku and sees Ayame-nee dusting the front of the shop 

" Good Morning Ayame-nee"

hearing the familiar voice , Ayame look and sees a different Naruto but This naruto is giving off a totally diffrent vibe , After a while Ayame replies

" .....Good morning , huh is that you Naruto , what's up with the mask "

" Ninja stuff nee-chan , you won't understand "

 instead of shouting Naruto huffs in a joviel tone

" Then Ninja-sama come help me wash dishes "

" Ohh... Lead the way "

" yes this way Hokage-sama "

hearing the address both naruto and Ayame started laughing and heads further .

inside The Shop They head towards the cleaning station while getting ready , Naruto asks Ayame 

" Where did Uncle Teuchi go "

" Dad has gone to get ingredients , veggies and other stuff , he told me about your matter yesterday "

hearing Ayame's reply , naruto asks back

" I heard that this kind of stuff gets delivered to your doorstep "

" I know but he is too picky about those things , everything needs to meet his standards , even if he gets tired in the morning "

complains Ayame 

" No wonder The Ramen is always Awesome " mutters naruto

"hahaha" 

bickering back and forth like this , The Dishes get cleaned in an hour with an extra pair of hands , while Teuchi arrives and addresses Naruto 

" come over naruto I am preparing breakfast , You help "

hearing Teuchi calling him over , Naruto washes his hands and starts heading to a different kitchen counter inside the shop .

" alright today you just watch and help me a little "

" Yoshhh"

In this way , Naruto helps in preparing basic breakfast , Miso soup , steamed rice and some side dishes , after prepaing these things , all of them sat together to eat breakfast .

" Itadakimasu " " Itadakimasu " " Itadakimasu "

After eating breakfast they all started prepping things for Ramen

for the whole day Naruto inquires bits and pieces here and there . He works till 1 PM noon and then departs back home.

Going Back on street his thoughts drifted back to major event that happened just half year ago

The Uchiha Clan massacre

S-rank Rogue nin Uchiha Itachi killing his whole clan in cold blood while leaving a single survivor , knowing the mysteries surrounding it , Naruto's thoughts didn't change much but instead were on something else

( hmmmm Uchiha Clan Grounds , Konoha Police force , Naka river , Naka shrine but tomorrow is for ....)

Thinking up to here Naruto looks to the clean and majestic The Great Hokage Rock and heads to the Academy training Ground to train

( i need to make the skiils that i got from Sign-in mine . Acrobatics , Flexibility , Running , Kunai and Shuriken Throwing , Basics of Taijutsu and its forms ,Chakra control , I need to make it all real instinct and not just knowing it )

---------------------------------------------

Hokage's Office :

Looking through his Crystal ball and watching Naruto practising basic academy stuff under scorching sun of summer and slowly getting it right

Brought a faint smile on Old Hokage's face .

from basic Taijutsu to Kunai and shuriken throwing and then interchanging between Running .

while simultaneously Throwing Kunai and then switching to Taijutsu while keeping leaves stuck on his arms .

Looking at Naruto , Stopping in between to pick up leaves and starting over again was both gratifying and worrisome for the Third Hokage .

Looking at it now , he starts practising The 3 Basic Academy ninjutsu

( hmm today he is focused on practising substitution jutsu more )

After putting away the Crystal Ball , The Hokage starts facing his biggest bane 

The Paperwork

( ughh My back , when can i retire o Kami )
