Konoha: Starting with a sign-in for Hashirama cells

Naruto's house.

The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the Uzumaki clan's physique, and perfect Hashirama cells—these three factors resulted in Naruto having so much chakra that it was difficult to use it all up.

He maintained the Unknown Seal, constantly refining his chakra and trying to control it.

Unfolded on the low table, the scroll contained drawings related to the chakra pathways in the human body.

Following the diagram, I carefully tried and practiced.

More than 80% of the chakra is lost or wasted during this process.

The small amount of chakra that Naruto had was circulating intermittently and crookedly through the chakra meridians under Naruto's rough control.

If you feel pain, stop for a moment.

Even if you get injured by accident, it's okay. It has perfectly fused with Hashirama cells, and its chakra contains amazing vitality, enough to heal and regenerate on its own.

Before they could refine chakra on their own, it wasn't very noticeable. But once they could refine it, the perfect Hashirama cells truly began to unleash their power.

Incidentally, the fact that I often eat instant noodles but don't suffer from malnutrition is closely related to the interstitial cells.

Naruto doesn't want to eat instant noodles every day, but the problem is that the villagers who run the restaurant and barbecue place won't let him in. What can he do?

They're running a business, not a charity. Letting you in means they're clearing the place out.

On one side are the despicable fox demons, and on the other side are a group of benefactors. Everyone knows which one to choose.

It's almost 10 o'clock.

Naruto stopped, went to the bathroom to shower, wash up, change into his pajamas, and turned off the lights to prepare for rest.

In five years, apart from the perfect Hashirama cells he obtained from Obito at the beginning, Naruto only obtained the Reaper Death Seal from the Third Hokage.

It has been confirmed that each person can only check in once.

The rewards for checking in are completely random and uncontrollable.

If given a choice, Naruto wouldn't want the Reaper Death Seal. He'd rather have a clone technique that doesn't have a physical form. Who is he supposed to use the mutual destruction technique on?

If your Reaper Death Seal is truly so powerful that it's unbeatable, then Naruto has nothing more to say.

The key point is in the later part of the story, when Orochimaru cuts open the Shinigami's stomach, releasing the four sealed Hokage and his hands, leaving the Shinigami completely helpless.

It instantly caused the brand's prestige to plummet by more than a tiny bit.

It's useless against truly formidable enemies.

Use it to crush noobs. We're already crushing noobs, why use the Corpse Demon Seal to force a mutual destruction?

It's even more useless than chicken ribs.

It's impossible to describe how devastated Naruto must have felt when he obtained the Reaper Death Seal and then learned that the same person only had one chance to sign in.

As for why it took five years to add the Corpse Demon Sealing Technique...

As a Jinchūriki, he must bear full responsibility.

Anyway, Naruto has never touched any ninja other than the Third Hokage in his life. Everyone avoids him. It is expected that things will only get better when he enters the Ninja Academy.

Before that, all you need to do is wait patiently and exercise appropriately.

Now that he has chakra and has activated Hashirama's cells, Naruto believes that his original plan was too conservative, and he can train recklessly without restraint.

the next day.

Naruto got up very early, packed all the things he needed for the picnic, and ran to the back mountain when there were fewer people on the street.

Roll up your sleeves, braid your trouser legs, spot a tree, and unleash a flurry of punches and kicks.

You don't need to pay attention to the rules; just remember one thing.

Every strike is delivered with full force.

The Third Hokage, who was still sleeping at home, was instantly awakened by the report from the Anbu. He hurriedly grabbed the crystal ball and began to spy on Naruto.

Then we saw Naruto looking like he had a grudge against the tree, ignoring the scrapes and swelling on his fists and legs, and frantically hitting the tree.

They would pause at a certain point and use hand seals to help refine chakra. Soon, the injuries on their hands, legs, and feet would be completely healed.

Seeing this, the Third Hokage narrowed his eyes: "The power of the Nine-Tails?"

Having just refined his chakra, and already mastered the power of the Nine-Tails in such a short time, the Third Hokage nodded in approval. As a Jinchūriki, Naruto's aptitude was truly exceptional.

He instructed the secret agents to keep a close watch and to report any suspicious activity immediately, without fear of misunderstanding.

After glancing at Naruto one last time, the Third Hokage closed the crystal ball.

Those who are willing to endure hardship, are diligent and hardworking, and persist in this way will surely achieve great things in the future. This is what the three generations thought of this morning.

It's noon.

Looking through the crystal ball, they found it was still in the same spot, but the tree had been beaten and its bark was shaved off.

Naruto continued to hit the tree, but the difference from the morning was that he had taken off his shirt and woven his pants up to his thighs, adding elbows, shoulders, and knees to his attack range.

Not far away was a simple stove made of small stones, with fish soup simmering in the pot, along with many wild vegetables from the back mountain.

Noticing that the ground where Naruto was standing looked as if it had been washed by water, the Third Hokage rubbed his temples.

Work and rest.

She's only five years old. What if she ruins her health by training like this?

He headed to the back mountain and pretended to bump into Naruto by chance. The Third Hokage feigned confusion and asked in surprise, "Naruto, why did you do this?"

In his mind, the reason, or rather the goal, that made Naruto like this was probably because he wanted to become a Jonin, or the Hokage.

Just look at those three sentences he said that made Naruto change his mindset, give up his self-destructive ascetic training, and become an ordinary, normal five-year-old child.

"I have nothing to do," Naruto said.

"Huh?" The third generation was stunned.

"Didn't the Third Hokage tell me to stop playing pranks? If no one plays with me and I don't play pranks, what am I supposed to do?" Naruto asked.

"Uh." The third generation stalled.

“I’m just idling around anyway, so I might as well exercise and toughen up my will. It’s better than me just sitting at home doing nothing,” Naruto said.

"..." three generations.

Chapter 3 Agreement

The third generation scratched his face, looked around, and whispered, "Actually, pranks are very common at your age. But too many times is definitely not good. We should do them occasionally and stop when we're done."

“But Grandpa, didn’t you say before that pranks are bad and should be done less?” Naruto said.

“Do less, not do nothing.” The third generation coughed and smiled, “You misunderstood me, and it’s my fault for not making myself clear.”

"It's important to keep pranks within reasonable limits."

"Appropriate pranks are a spice in life, making people notice you. On the other hand, bad pranks can only bring disgust and discomfort."

"You don't necessarily have to wait until you become a Jonin or Hokage. You can do pranks just as well. Just put more thought into it in your spare time."

Compared to playing pranks, helping others is clearly more likely to win people's favor.

Naruto went out into the street, wanting to help others.

Looking around, they spotted an elderly woman with difficulty walking, leaning on a cane in one hand.

His eyes lit up, and he stepped forward to ask where she was going, offering to help her.

The old woman was startled when she saw Naruto. With a scream, she threw down her cane and ran away in a panic.

With an adrenaline rush, he ran faster than a genin.

Imagining this scene, the Third Hokage's eyes twitched, and he gave up on persuading Naruto to do a good deed every day.

Knowing that the Third Hokage wouldn't leave if he didn't obey, Naruto nodded: "Oh, I understand. I'll think about it carefully."

“Furthermore, your training method is not good, especially for someone as young as you. It can easily damage your foundation,” the Third Generation said.

"No, I don't think so," Naruto said. "Chakra gives me inexhaustible strength, and I can heal myself when I'm injured. I feel fine."

“Your feeling is wrong. I’ve been there, I know more than you do. Be good, listen to me, do as I say.” The Third Hokage said, taking out a scroll from his sleeve and handing it to Naruto.

He made it on the spot in his office before he arrived.

These are all fairly common exercises, such as running, sit-ups, push-ups, pull-ups, and frog jumps.

The training volume was also reasonable, gradually increasing from a small amount to a larger amount, thus eliminating the possibility of self-harm.

Naruto glanced at it and muttered, "It feels like hitting a tree is more effective."

Seeing that Naruto was still determined to hit the tree and engage in self-harming training, the Third Hokage thought for a moment and said, "If you persist for a year, I will teach you a technique related to chakra that can greatly enhance your strength."

Naruto paused, thinking to himself, "It's related to chakra and it's about technique, so it's probably about climbing trees and wading through water."

He can learn this on his own; there's no need for him to be taught.

Thinking of this, Naruto shook his head and said, "Techniques are not as important as ninjutsu, so forget it. Grandpa, thank you for your concern, but I know what I'm doing and I'll take care of my health."

After returning the scroll to the Third Hokage, Naruto raised his fist and continued hitting the tree.

Three generations remained silent.

Watching Naruto relentlessly pound the tree, the parts that collided with it quickly turned red and blistered, yet he still seemed full of energy, determined to fight to the death and able to persist for a long time.

Suddenly, a cracking sound rang out, the sound of bones breaking. Naruto gasped and collapsed to the ground, skillfully channeling chakra to heal himself.

The Third Hokage's eyelids twitched violently, and he quickly said, "Then let's use ninjutsu. Follow the method on this page, and I'll teach you a ninjutsu in a year."

"Really?" Naruto turned his head. "It's not something the Ninja Academy teaches, is it?"

The Third Hokage, who was preparing to reward the Third Hokage with one of the three basic body techniques, chuckled dryly: "How could that be? It's a technique that the Ninja Academy doesn't teach."

Upon hearing this, Naruto quickly healed his fracture, retrieved the scroll, carefully examined its contents, and then began practicing push-ups on the spot.

Do 10 reps as a set, and do 3 sets at a time.

After push-ups, do sit-ups, three sets as well.

"You can't just pay lip service and secretly practice in private. If you don't follow the agreement, I can refuse to give you the ninjutsu," the Third Hokage said.

"Yes!" Naruto shouted.
