Naruto: I, Naruto, started with the Rinnegan

"You bastard!" Naruto couldn't take it anymore, so he rushed into the sealing gate and gave Kurama a good beating.

Alternating between Shinra Tensei and Bansho Ten'in, Kurama surprisingly did not resist.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

A minute later, the Rinnegan dissipated. Naruto looked at the lifeless Kurama lying on the ground and asked with a smile, "Do you still think I'm the Sage of Six Paths?"

"Kid, don't insult the old man. He has a heart full of love and compassion, unlike you."

He actually hit me... The old man would never do something like that, not even if he were a reincarnation.

If we rule out reincarnation within the six realms, then this matter becomes highly suspicious.

Kurama sat up, its huge vertical pupils staring intently at Naruto.

"Who exactly are you?"

Kurama asked: Where did you get your Rinnegan?

Naruto replied: I won it in a lottery in my dream.

What nonsense! As a thousand-year-old fox, how could the Nine-Tailed Fox not know the origin of the Rinnegan?

That's exclusive to the Six Paths!

Therefore, it would be more believable to say that the Rinnegan was a gift from the Sage of Six Paths.

Kurama (the Nine-Tails) also leans towards this possibility, otherwise there's no way to explain what happened to Naruto.

Nine-Tailed Fox asked again: How did you know my real name?

Naruto replied again: "I saw it with my eyes."

That's... somewhat possible. Given the mysterious and unpredictable nature of the Rinnegan, it's not surprising that it possesses some strange and unusual abilities.

Finally, Nine-Tails snorted coldly, saying arrogantly, "For the sake of Grandpa Six Paths, I'll trust you this once. As for becoming friends... that depends on your future performance."

It's just like a goddess facing a simp.

Naruto wholeheartedly agreed: "Well said, that's exactly what I was thinking. I'm very selective about my friends; not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can become my friend."

The nine-tailed fox roared, "You bastard, who are you calling a nobody?"

"Oh, oh, oh, you're getting impatient, you're getting impatient..."

"roar!"

.........

With a weapon in hand, the desire to kill arises naturally.

After activating the Rinnegan, Naruto really wanted to find an enemy to fight.

Unfortunately, being under surveillance, he couldn't even get a chance to conduct an experiment, let alone fight an enemy.

Suffocated!

After much deliberation, Naruto decided to return to the sealed space and experiment with the Rinnegan's abilities there.

.........

The following morning, Naruto attended class diligently.

In the afternoon, Naruto began his truancy.

Unlike the original story where Naruto disliked school, his reason for skipping classes was that he thought the knowledge taught at the Ninja Academy was too superficial.

The only useful skills are the Three Body Techniques, Chakra Extraction Technique, and other basic ninja knowledge.

Genius ninjas like Itachi graduated in a year, and even more so, Kakashi graduated in half a year.

This shows how much of a sham the ninja academy is.

Naruto considered himself to be of average ability and had no intention of graduating early, but he also did not plan to study for six years in a conventional manner.

What a waste of time!

He plans to go to school in the mornings and use the afternoons for other things.

The main focus is on training and planning for the future. Naruto's future direction is to focus on taijutsu and ninjutsu, with genjutsu and medical ninjutsu as secondary skills. He plans to learn sage techniques if conditions permit. However, today is not for training. Today, he is going to the market to buy wood to make a figurine of Raiden General!

The lightning bolt statue that used to be in my house was made two years ago.

The wood was subpar, and the craftsmanship was subpar as well.

This time, Naruto is going to create a living Raikou (Lightning General), so naturally he has to make the best of it.

.........

"Skipping class?"

In the afternoon, the school bell rang.

Iruka entered the classroom and, seeing that Naruto's seat was empty, his expression darkened slightly. He then asked the students below, "Do you know...?"

After a pause, Iruka suddenly had an idea.

Isn't it good that that brat didn't come? It prevents the Nine-Tails from going out of control and hurting its students, just like how its parents would react...

Iruka smiled and said, "Alright then, let's begin the lesson."

Class continued, and no one cared about Naruto's disappearance.

Only Hinata.

She looked at the empty seat with a worried expression.

I hope something happened to Naruto-kun...

There's also the Third Hokage.

He likes to use a crystal ball to monitor Naruto whenever he has a spare moment.

I witnessed firsthand what Naruto did while skipping class in the afternoon—he went home for dinner, wore a mask and went shopping, bought a piece of wood and hammered around for two hours before going to train.

Cutting down trees in the forest, running, practicing throwing hidden weapons...

The same routine continued on the second, third, and fourth days: attending classes in the morning, hammering and tinkering with wood for two hours in the afternoon, and sleeping at night. The schedule was very regular.

"This can't go on..."

He was all alone, going about his own business, without friends.

As a Jinchūriki, this state is too dangerous.

We need to build a bond first; it seems I need to talk to Iruka.

.........

A month later.

In the morning, the school bell rang, and Naruto got up, ready to leave school as usual.

Iruka suddenly said, "Naruto, please wait a moment, I have something I want to talk to you about."

Naruto asked calmly, "What are you talking about?"

The other students in the class were also quite curious about what Iruka-sensei was going to talk to the strange man about.

Yes, that's right, he's a weirdo. That's the image Naruto currently has in the minds of other students.

After all, Naruto always goes his own way and never interacts with others. What else could he be but a weirdo?

The reason it's not a fox spirit is because after a month of spending time together...

Let's just call it getting along.

Although he didn't say a word, aside from that, Naruto acted normally in other aspects and didn't eat people as the rumors in the village said...

It looks like a person no matter how you look at it, although it's a bit strange.

"Let's talk in the hallway."

Iruka clearly had no intention of satisfying the students' curiosity and went into the corridor with Naruto.

Then, he looked at Naruto, took a deep breath, bowed deeply, and said in a voice full of remorse, "I'm sorry, Naruto, I want to apologize to you. I shouldn't have taken my personal resentment out on you. We were both victims of that disaster..."

Naruto was stunned. Shouldn't this be a story that takes place six years later? Why is it being shown ahead of schedule?

"Why don't you explain yourself more clearly?"

"Teacher, please forgive me, Naruto. Please give me a chance to make amends. Forgive me, okay? Let's start over."

That sounds exactly like what a manipulative woman would say to an honest man.

"Let me ask you a question first: Teacher, how did you come to this conclusion?"

"Oh, that's all thanks to the Hokage-sama. I received his patient guidance..."

All I can say is that the Will of Fire is terrifying.

Naruto understood, and so he chose to forgive.

What else can we do but sit back and wait for the meticulous "care" from three generations of old men?

Iruka was delighted: "What would you like to eat for lunch? It's on me, to celebrate our new beginning."

Naruto pondered for a moment and said, "Then... Ichiraku Ramen."

It wasn't because Ichiraku Ramen was particularly delicious, but rather because Naruto needed to wear a mask to enter any other restaurant besides Ichiraku Ramen.
