Naruto: I, Naruto, started with the Rinnegan

"All I need to do is get some sleep."

After saying that, he closed his eyes.

Hinata's eyes were still filled with worry, but seeing that Naruto wanted to sleep, she didn't want to disturb him.

The school bell rang, and Iruka walked into the classroom, only to find Naruto asleep on his desk. Iruka felt a headache coming on.

"A problem student..."

Although his interpersonal relationships with classmates have improved, his attitude towards learning remains poor.

However, due to Naruto's special circumstances, Iruka couldn't strictly control him.

Ugh!

.........

Naruto slept until noon, then left the ninja academy, went home, cooked two dishes, and sat down at the table for lunch.

"Naruto, can you take me out this afternoon?"

A calm voice echoed in Naruto's mind.

This is the sound transmission from the shadow.

The reason why the Shadow can do this is not because it has special abilities, but because, as Naruto's creation, it can naturally communicate with Naruto's mind when the distance is less than 100 meters.

The general could do the same, and her voice soon echoed in Naruto's heart.

"I had the same thought."

"I can take you out, but we need to agree beforehand that you shouldn't move, so that people won't find out you're alive."

Naruto got up, went to the sofa, and placed the Raiden General wood carving on the dining table.

While eating, I asked myself, "Weren't you bored staying at home this morning?"

The general said, "Bored? I don't feel that way. I just want to understand the environment I live in."

Ying said, "A foolish question. With nothing to do and nowhere to go, one is naturally extremely bored."

"Uh... I'm really sorry, but because of my identity, I can't let you be exposed yet."

If Naruto were a Sand Ninja, the Raiden General could appear openly, and others would only see him as a special kind of puppet.

Even if Naruto were still born in Konoha, without a Jinchuriki and no one to monitor him, the Shogun would still have a lot of room to maneuver.

Unlike now, when we are constantly under surveillance, it's difficult to even make a move.

.........

In the afternoon, Naruto didn't train; instead, he wandered around Konoha wearing a mask.

The Thunder General remained inside Naruto's pocket, with only its head sticking out. It remained motionless, pretending to be an ordinary statue, but in reality, it was taking in everything and communicating with Naruto in its mind.

Shadow asked curiously, "The style is somewhat similar to Inazuma... Is this Inazuma, the world that needs our protection?"

"No, Konoha is not Inazuma, and there is no Inazuma in this world. They don't need our protection."

Respecting the fate of others and setting aside any desire to help others, Naruto didn't care about the future of Konoha and the ninja world.

"Isn't there an Inazuma?"

Ying felt empty. In her memory, Inazuma was a very important part. Without Inazuma, her life would not be complete.

"There's nothing I can do about it. If it's not available, it's not available. I can't exactly change it for you... wait, change it? You really can't change it?"

Naruto stopped and pondered carefully.

It's impossible to create an exact replica of Inazuma, but it's not impossible to create a country with the name Inazuma.

"Kage, just wait. Within ten years, I'll make you an Inazuma."

"Yes, thank you, Naruto."

At that moment, the general suddenly said, "Naruto, I want to pursue eternity."

Naruto was taken aback, but quickly understood the general's meaning. He laughed and cried at the same time, saying, "I'm not Doraemon, your wishes won't work... Besides, why do you want to pursue eternity?"

"If you move forward, you will lose; only eternity can keep all things still, and make Inazuma immortal."

"This is just a setting, don't take it seriously."

"It's part of the setting, but it's also the reason for my existence."

"But I remember in the original story, you changed in the end."

"But I adopted the earlier version."

Naruto was speechless. You actually have several versions, and even I, the creator, didn't know about them.

"...Why wasn't the final version chosen?"

The general's indifferent voice resonated in Naruto's heart.

"The final version is only a small part of my design. The version of me that pursues eternity is the version of me most of the time."

Very good, that's a very strong reason.

"Keep it up! I wish you all the best in achieving eternity. I will provide you with all the support you need, except for help."

------

Time flies, a year has passed, and Naruto is seven years old.

That year, Naruto's life was very regular.

I go to school in the morning and occasionally chat with my classmates, but I often daydream during class.

He lay on the table, his mind sinking into the sealed space, playing mahjong with Nine-Tailed Fox, Shadow who he had pulled in, and General.

Mahjong tiles are not real objects; real matter cannot be brought into the sealed space.

The mahjong in the sealed space... is made from pure chakra sponsored by Kurama and life energy provided by Naruto's Rinnegan, plus a little bit of soul energy.

Soul energy contains knowledge of mahjong and transformation techniques.

The combination of these five elements results in Mahjong.

"Chakra, obey my command, transform!"

Upon receiving the order, the Nine-Tails' chakra automatically transformed into a set of mahjong tiles.

Next, as long as you replenish your chakra in time, you can play without worry.

Oh, and you can't use too much force, or you'll knock the mahjong tile back to its original form, turning it back into a ball of chakra.

Yes, Kurama has fallen in love with playing mahjong.

To be more precise, Kurama fell in love with the atmosphere of playing mahjong.

They treated each other warmly and equally, regarding him as a friend, neither coveting nor fearing his power.

This deeply moved the Nine-Tails, who had been lonely for a thousand years and suffered greatly from human malice.

That's so rare!

Therefore, although Kurama (the Nine-Tails) stubbornly refuses to admit it, he has actually already considered the Kage, the Shogun, and Naruto as friends.

If Naruto asks to borrow Kurama's power to fight, Kurama will most likely hesitate for a moment before lending it to him.

Naruto continued his afternoon training routine, including running, but stopped throwing projectiles about six months ago when he felt he had practiced enough.

As long as you pass the test, that's fine. You can practice more later if you have time. There's no need to set aside special time for practice.

After all, even if you master throwing hidden weapons, you're still only at the Uchiha level. It looks cool, but it's not very useful.

Naruto spends more time training in taijutsu, ninjutsu, and chakra.

Taijutsu... Naruto doesn't chop down trees anymore, he hammers them instead.

With the life force provided by the Rinnegan and the nourishment of the Nine-Tails' Yang Chakra, Naruto could exert himself to the fullest, and no matter how serious his injuries were, he could often recover completely after a good night's sleep.

Ninjutsu... the Three Body Technique goes without saying; without the Nine-Tails' interference, Naruto easily mastered it.

In addition, there's the Rasengan. The original work explains it so clearly, and Naruto followed suit, secretly learning it in the sealed space.

Chakra...

Naruto mastered chakra control—walking on water and climbing trees—in just two days.

Chakra nature transformation – no training is needed at all; the Rinnegan is born with all seven natures and can master them.
