Konohagakure no Sato:
Uzumaki Apartment — Evening :
The evening sun dipped low, bleeding a bruised orange across the horizon. The Raven were flying across the sky and The summer air carried a heavy, warm breeze that ruffled the feathers of Sadako, Naruto's owl, who was just beginning to stir from her slumber.
On the terrace above, Simba the pup stood like a small sentry, his head tilted as he peered down at the street below.
There stood Naruto, his gaze fixed on the retreating back of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Today marked the third day of the "Great Lecture."
For three days straight, the Third Hokage had cleared his schedule of paperwork and politics to spend his hours within the small, cramped apartment of the boy who held the village's greatest burden.
The Academy had been bypassed; a simple note from the Hokage's office was enough to satisfy Iruka, ensuring Naruto's friends—who remained in the dark.
Instead, Naruto's education had shifted from basic 5th Yeat Acdemy course to the high-stakes history of the Leaf. And The Teacher The Third Hokage himself.
Naruto remembered the important 'Lectures' during these three days.
Hiruzen had been thorough. He sat with Naruto, his pipe unlit out of respect for the boy's home, and spoke of the Nine-Tails' Night. He painted a picture of a village under siege, not by a mindless beast, but by a tragedy orchestrated by "unknown enemies."
For three days straight, Hiruzen had been weaving a tapestry of the Will of Fire, the burden of the Jinchūriki, and the truth of the Nine-Tails' Night
"The Fourth Hokage didn't just seal the Kyuubi, Naruto," Hiruzen had said, his voice thick with the weight of that night.
"He sacrificed his very soul to ensure the Leaf would see another sunrise. And in that desperate moment, only one child in the entire village was suitable to carry such a heavy flame. You."
The Hokage also spoke of some other things like about his parents
"The beast was freed by enemies, Naruto," Hiruzen explained, puffing on his pipe. "And your parents... they were the Shadow Guards of the Hokage. Your mother was an Uzumaki..... Naruto yourr parents They didn't want you to be shackled by this beast; they wanted you to be a hero."
The Hokage spoke of Naruto's parents, though he danced around their names with the practiced grace of a master shinobi. He told Naruto they were the Shadow Guards of the Hokage—elite, brave, and fiercely loyal.
He also revealed that his mother was an Uzumaki, part of a noble and powerful clan.
"They didn't want you to be shackled, Naruto. They saw you as a hero. They believed that their son would be the one to turn a curse into a blessing. Your identity is a secret not to hide you from love, but to protect you from the same enemies who unleashed the beast. They are still out there, watching for any sign of the Kyuubi's—legacy."
then, Hiruzen had revealed the deepest connection of all—the lineage of the "Vessel."
"You must understand, Naruto, that being an Uzumaki is why you are the village's greatest treasure" Hiruzen said, his eyes misting over.
"The first Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails wasn't a weapon found in war. She was Mito Uzumaki, the wife of the First Hokage himself. Your clan has always been the only one strong enough to hold back the storm."
Hiruzen leaned back, the smoke from his pipe forming a spiraling whirlpool in the air and reminscense
"The Uzumaki were peerless. In the art of Fūinjutsu, no one even came close. They could bind a Great Beast as if it were a common dog. Their life force was so potent, their 'physique' so resilient, that they could survive even the extraction of a Tailed Beast. It was this very greatness—this terrifying prowess in sealing and their unique vitality—that led to their tragedy."
The Hokage's eyes grew distant.
" during the Second Shinobi World War, the other nations grew terrified. They saw a clan that could control the ultimate weapons of the world. In an act of cowardly desperation, several nations united to destroy Uzushiogakure, the Land of Whirlpools. Your people were scattered to the winds, Naruto. Your mother was one of the few who made it here. You are the scion of a clan that was feared by the entire world."
The most difficult pill to swallow was the villagers' hatred. Hiruzen didn't sugarcoat the shunning, but he reframed it.
"The Villagers don't hate you, Naruto," Hiruzen insisted, leaning forward.
"They fear the chakra. It is a primal instinct. Across every hidden village, Jinchūriki endure this silence. It is the cross we ask our pillars to bear. Most shinobi who understand the sacrifice look at you and see a hero. The civilians... they only feel the beasts chakra that almost destroyed their homes. You must be the sun that outshines that memory."
Hiruzen promised that once Naruto reached the rank of Jonin and showed the maturity to handle the truth, he would reveal everything—names, faces, and the full history of his parents .
The lectures hadn't been entirely solitary. Hinata had visited during these three days, her presence a quiet anchor for Naruto. To Naruto's surprise, the Hokage didn't ask her to leave. Instead, he doubled down and started another lecture for both of them .
In a move that shattered every protocol of secrecy, the Third Hokage revealed Naruto's S-rank identity as a Jinchūriki to Hinata. He told her of the Uzumaki lineage, the sacrifice of the Fourth, and the destiny Naruto carried.
Hinata had cried—large, silent tears that soaked into her sleeves—as she learned the true depth of Naruto's isolation.
But The Hokage was ready.
He began a new lecture on Unity, Companionship, and the Will of Fire. He spoke of how the strongest trees in the forest grew together, their roots intertwined so that no storm could topple them.
He used her presence to deliver a powerful dose of Love . He spoke of how the First Hokage and Mito Uzumaki had stood together to build this village, framing Naruto and Hinata's bond as a modern echo of that ancient foundation.
He was weaving their fates together, turning Hinata's devotion into a sanctioned mission of the heart.
Naruto's Perspective :
As Naruto watched Hiruzen disappear around the corner, his mind—aided by the MindHub Skill — he processed the massive influx of data.
Naruto understood what the "Old Man" was doing.
He was being given a "Why" for his pain.
He was being tied to the village through legacy, duty
and the promise that the village actually viewed him as a hero in hiding.
He felt the MindHub analyzing . The Hokage's words were 70% truth and 30% strategic framing.
Naruto had been given a "why" for his suffering, a "legacy" to live up to, and a "goal" to reach.
( He's good ) Naruto thought, a small, tired smile appearing on his face.
( He almost made me forget I had to find out the truth for myself. )
He looked up at the terrace. Simba barked once, a sharp, happy sound. Sadako let out a soft hoot, her golden eyes scanning the darkening sky.
( heh .....what would have happened , if I asked that where were you Grandpa during all these things ....God Of SHinobi hehe )
Uzumaki Apartment: Night :
As the door clicked shut, Naruto walked towards his bathroom to take a bath , sitting in his bathtub , the "tired" look on his face lingering for a few extra seconds before it smoothed into a mask of clinical neutrality.
( It's good that I procured some benefits for myself )
Naruto thought, his MindHub flickering to life to archive the last 72 hours of data.
Naruto had been ready for the Hokage's visit from the moment he "found" the scroll.
While he had lost some control of his emotions on the Hokage Rock, but Every tremor in his voice, every hollow look on that day , had been precisely tuned to show the Third Hokage exactly what he wanted to see:
A broken Lost child trying to piece himself back together.
Hinata's presence had been the only true wildcard. Her words still pierced through his heart, bypassing the Great Sage's logic gates, but Naruto had also already integrated that "anomaly" into his long-term plans.
the later part—the three days of "Hokage Bootcamp"—had been a delicate balance of 70% acting skill and 30% genuine emotion.
(The initiative belonged to the Hokage the whole time,)
Naruto mused, walking toward his kitchen to feed Simba.
(But that's exactly why the benefits I squeezed out are so valuable. He thinks he's "saving" me, which makes him generous.)
Naruto sat at his desk, scribbling in his notebook. He hadn't just listened to the lectures; he had used them as leverage.
The Sealing Corps Internship:
When The Hokage bragged about Mito Uzumaki and the clan's peerless Fūinjutsu, Naruto had caught the opening instantly. He requested to learn seals—not just for his heritage, but under the guise of "controlling the beast better."
The Result: Naruto would join the Sealing Corps as an intern a full year earlier than usual.which happens during 6th year and even then rarely .
Under the Hokage's personal permission, he wouldn't be stuck with the rookies. He was going to have access to the real ink.
The Parent's Legacy :
Naruto had pushed hard for his parents' names, but the "Old Man" wouldn't relent. Switching tactics, Naruto played the "hero's son" card.
He had tried to push for an early graduation to join the ANBU—mimicking his parents' "Shadow Guard" status—knowing Hiruzen would refuse.
and lastly If he couldn't know their names, he should at least know their techniques.
The Result ( Compromise ) :
To stop Naruto from rushing into the ANBU, Hiruzen promised to teach him his parents' jutsus once he reached the proper level before graduation. The specific jutsu remained in the Hokage's hands, but the promise was sealed.
Naruto looked at his reflection in the dark window.
( The village wanted a Jinchūriki? Fine )
He would be the best weapon they had ever seen—but he would be a weapon with his own hand on the trigger.
( Now that my identity is "out," I don't have to justify my actions anymore . I can plan as a Jinchūriki , a weapon , who understands his own value.)
Naruto glanced at the Genin growth skill in his MindHub. He was already years ahead in theory and Shinobi skills . Now, with the Sealing Corps on the horizon and the promise of elite jutsu , he can finally plan for some things before graduation .
Naruto walked to the terrace, where Simba was curled up and Sadako was preening. The humid summer air was cooling.
------------------------------------
Konohagakure no Sato :
It had been two months since the night on the Hokage Rock—two months since the "ghost" had been given a name and a lineage.
In the first week following the revelation, Naruto had sat for the Sealing Corps entry exam. With the Mindhub Skill processing spatial geometry and the Great Sage calculating chakra flow patterns, he had passed with a clinical precision that had raised more than a few eyebrows among the staff.
Now, he was deep in the grind.
Despite his internship, Naruto hadn't learned a single new "finished" seal in sixty days. Instead, his world had narrowed down to the Runes—the fundamental alphabet of reality.
Naruto spent his hours dissecting the strokes used in various containment barriers, studying their applications, their hidden meanings, and the historical variations found in the few surviving Uzumaki texts he was now permitted to touch.
His instructor was a man named Koga, an elder whose face was a map of wrinkles, nearly as old as the Third Hokage himself. As the Vice-Head of the Sealing Corps, Koga was a man of relentless, almost agonizing focus on the basics.
"The seal is not the ink on the paper, boy," Koga would rasp, his voice like dry parchment.
"The seal is the intent channeled through the geometry. If your stroke is off by a hair's breadth, the logic of the seal collapses. You don't build a house on sand, and you don't build an Uzumaki seal on a shaky hand."
Even with the Great Sage assisting his muscle memory, Naruto found himself held back. Koga refused to let him progress until his "foundation" was flawless. To Koga, Naruto's speed was impressive, but his "soul" for the ink was still developing.
According to Koga-sensei, it would take another one to two months at this grueling pace before Naruto would have a sufficient foundation to even begin learning a new seals .
Once the foundation is set, the actual learning of the seals will be exponential .
Meanwhile, Naruto's training with Hattori-sensei had reached a new milestone. The grueling month of blindfold training had finally ended. Hattori now allowed Naruto to use jutsu during their spars, a shift that turned their training grounds into a blur of smoke and elemental bursts.
During a rare moment of respite, Naruto had tried to probe Hattori about his past. The man didn't flinch. He came clean, admitting he knew Naruto was the Jinchūriki and acknowledged his connection to Naruto's mother.
However, like the Hokage, Hattori remained tight-lipped about the specifics.
"Not yet," was all the man would say, his gaze distant. "Knowledge without the strength to protect it , is just a burden."
In these two months, Naruto had pushed his current arsenal to the brink. Every basic E and D-rank jutsu he possessed had finally hit its Level Cap as of last week.
The only exception was the Shadow Clone Jutsu; being a B-rank technique, it was far more complex and seemed destined to cap at Level 4.
To keep his progress from stagnating, Naruto had begun "tinkering." By using the Great Sage, he was modifying the efficiency of basic jutsu, intending to "donate" these improved versions to the village archives.
It was a calculated move—the act of a "Good Will of Fire Inheritor"—designed to earn him credit to exchange for more advanced techniques from the restricted archives.
The Third Hokage, pleased with Naruto's discipline, had personally contributed to his growth. Over these two months, he had taught Naruto three C-rank staples:
-----------------------------
Wind Release: Breakthrough
Rank : C-rank Jutsu
Classification - Ninjutsu
Class - Offensive
Range - Short to mid Range ( 0-10 meters )
Usage summary -
The user breathes wind from their mouth, blowing away whatever is in front of them. The technique itself is quite simple, but its power varies significantly depending on the user's skill and how strong they make the winds.
----------------------------
Wind Release: Gale Palm
Rank : C-Rank Jutsu
Classification - Ninjutsu
Class - Offensive , Supplementary
Range - Short to Mid range (0-10m)
Usage Summary -
A Wind Release technique where the user either increases their velocity or by the user clasping their hands together, wind is compressed and transformed into a powerful gale, which has enough force to knock over a person. When used in conjunction with shuriken or kunai, the tools become more lethal as their speed is increased.
---------------------------
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique
Rank : C-Rank Jutsu
Classification - Ninjutsu
Class - Offensive
Range - Short range (0-5m)
Usage Summary -
The user kneads chakra in their body and turns it into fire, which they then expel from their mouth; the more chakra they use, the more flames that are produced.
Sometimes the flames lack a distinct shape, being only a stream, but more often than not they double its power by having it take the form of a giant orb that maintains its shape until hitting a target.
Upon impact, the fireball is powerful enough to crater the ground and vaporise the surroundings. Against living targets, the fireball can cause extensive burns.
------------------------------
When Naruto had first demonstrated his mastery over the Great Fireball and the Great Breakthrough—techniques he had picked up from the Hokage in record time—he noticed a shift in Hattori's demeanor.
The stoic instructor seemed genuinely motivated, his usual apathy replaced by the sharp, predatory focus of a veteran shinobi .
Since then, Hattori had discarded the blindfold drills in favor of high-intensity elemental application. Unlike the Hokage's "textbook" style, Hattori's teaching was brutally practical. He moved away from Wind and Fire, focusing instead on the stability of Earth and the versatility of Water.
In just fourteen days, Hattori had drilled Naruto in the foundational combat applications of two more natures and 5 new jutsu
------------------------------------
Water Release : Instant Water
Rank : C-Rank Jutsu
Classification - Ninjutsu, Taijutsu
Class - Supplementary , Offensive
Range - Short range (0-5m)
Usage Summary -
Employing their mastery of Water Release, the user releases a wave of water below their feet to act as jets to increase their speed which allows them to dash towards the opponent and attack with a full-body blow.
--------------------------------
Water Release -Water Prison Jutsu
Rank : C- rank Jutsu
Classification - Ninjutsu
Class - Supplementary
Range - Short range (0-5m)
Usage Summary -
This technique traps a target in a sphere of water; the water can either be drawn from the surroundings or expelled from the user's mouth. The water that the sphere is made from is noticeably heavy, which restricts the target's movements and can make breathing difficult. As such, those trapped within the water prison cannot ordinarily escape on their own .
--------------------------------
Water Release: Wild Water Wave
Rank : C-Rank Jutsu
Classification - Ninjutsu
Class - Offensive, Supplementary
Range - Long range ( 5m+)
Usage Summary -
The user spews out a massive amount of water, covering an entire area with a ferocious Water wave . The produced ocean of water can be used for further techniques.
--------------------------
Hattori hadn't just handed Naruto a list of random Jutsus .
He had handed Naruto a Combat System. The four Water Release jutsu Naruto now possessed—including his previously learned Water Shots—worked in perfect, lethal synchronicity.
Naruto realized with the help of MindHub that there was no coincidence here. Hattori was teaching him how to weaponize his massive chakra reserves.
(He wants me to flood the field,) Naruto mused , wiping the mud on his cheek
( Wild Water Wave creates the terrain; Instant Water gives me the speed advantage on that terrain; Water Prison traps and water shots ends the fight. It's a closed-loop system.)
While the Water Release system gave Naruto the ability to flood the battlefield, Hattori-sensei insisted that a true shinobi must also be able to anchor it. Over the final week of their intensive elemental block, Hattori introduced the Earth Release techniques—focusing on turning the very ground into a weapon and a shield.
--------------------------------
Earth Release : Earth Dome
Rank : C-Rank Jutsu
Classification - Ninjutsu
Class - Defensive
Range - Short ( 0-5m)
Usage Summary -
The user creates a dome of earth around himself , trapping himself inside for All round defense , The Dome is in the shape of inverted Bowl , Depending on the Chakra and mastery of the jutsu , the defense increses.
------------------------------
Earth Release: Earth Flow River
Rank : C-Rank Jutsu
Classification - Ninjutsu
Class - Offensive , supplementary
Range - Short - MEdium range (0-10m)
Usage Summary -
The user transforms the ground and the surface underneath their opponent into a muddy river that sweeps them off their feet and restricts their feet and movement . The Mud is adhesive , Depending on chakra input , the range may increase and so it's restrictiveness
-----------------------------
Hattori's choice of Earth techniques was, once again, surgically precise. He taught Naruto how to combine his massive chakra reserves with the density of the soil.
With these additions, Naruto's combat logic reached a new level of complexity. Through the Great Sage, he began to see how the elements weren't separate entities, but a sequence:
Preparation: Use Earth Flow River to destabilize the enemy's footing.
Engagement: Follow up with Wild Water Wave to turn the mud into a massive deluge, drowning the area.
Control: Use Instant Water to close the distance instantly on the wet terrain.
Closing: Trap the disoriented target in a Water Prison or crush them with a follow-up strike.
Safety: If a counter-attack comes, vanish into an Earth Dome.
And all this together with Shadow Clones .
Hattori Sensei also taught another teaching
"Your chakra is your biggest weapon," Hattori said, his voice carrying a weight that silenced the nearby birds.
"As a Jinchūriki, Chakra is something you will hardly lack. Don't try to play the game of efficiency that low-reserve shinobi play. Use it. Empower every strike. Flood the field. Become a jutsu cannon."
---------------------------
Exclusive Training Ground :
The evening air was beginning to carry the crisp bite of approaching winter. When Hinata walked up to the secluded training ground, she was met with a scene of organized, high-intensity chaos.
Everywhere she looked, there were Shadow Clones. They were clustered in groups across the field—some were practicing the rhythmic flow of the Wild Water Wave,
while others were standing perfectly still, tracing complex Sealing Runes into the dirt with surgical focus. The sheer amount of chakra vibrating in the air was enough to make her Byakugan hum even without being activated.
In the center of it all was the main body.
Naruto was unrecognizable at first glance. He was clad in heavy training weights that clanked with every movement, but the most jarring detail was the large, industrial gas mask strapped to his face.
The mask was designed with specialized filters to severely restrict air intake, making every breath a conscious, grueling battle for oxygen.
Hinata stood at the edge of the clearing, clutching a basket of warm food she had prepared, her lavender eyes wide with concern. Simba and others also came near her .
She waited until Naruto finished a set of high-speed maneuvers—his movements hindered by the weights but still possessing that predatory "Instant Water" snap.
"N-Naruto-kun?" she called out softly as Naruto came to a halt, his chest heaving violently behind the glass of the mask. "Why... why are you wearing that? It looks so painful."
Naruto reached up, unlatching the side of the mask to let out a hiss of pressurized air. His face was flushed, and sweat poured down his neck, but his eyes were bright with a terrifyingly clear focus.
"It's to train breathing, Hinata," he replied, his voice slightly raspy.
He didn't elaborate further, but the MindHub was already logging the data. Naruto wasn't just training his lungs; he was forcing his body to maintain the "Jutsu Cannon" doctrine under extreme duress.
( time to use my memories from previous life ...well as much as I can remember ....Demon slayer style )
Hattori-sensei's words had stuck: Your chakra is your weapon. By restricting his oxygen, Naruto was forcing his chakra system to work harder to compensate for the physical strain, conditioning his heart and tenketsu to stay calm when the "Cannon" was firing at full capacity.
Hinata stepped closer, setting the basket down on a smooth stone. "I brought some food. You... you shouldn't push yourself so hard that you forget to breathe entirely."
Naruto looked at the basket, then at the clones still grinding away at their elemental and sealing drills. He offered her a small, genuine smile—the kind he only reserved for her.
" Don't worry , Hinata " he said, taking a piece of fruit from the basket. "But for this... I can take a break."
With the additions of these new jutsu's Naruto next 6 months Routine were packed to brim . But with Hinata , Simba and others , the months will go in a flash .
