Within the Shinobi Academy, a 7-year-old Naruto sat, a stark transformation evident in the past year. Once a cheerful boy resilient to the village's hatred, he now droped wore the mask, his personality making a complete turnaround. No longer the goofy child, Naruto had become antisocial brooding, rarely allowing a smile to grace his face. He spoke only when prompted to, his mind constantly contemplating worst-case scenarios.

Done with his brooding over the past year, Naruto reflected on the shortcomings of the Shinobi Academy. It irrated him that they focused solely on basic taijutsu, escaping D-rank genjutsu, and the academy's tree, offering little practical knowledge for the future mission is not really understaning like people like his dad could become so great with such a time wasting training. contemplated the seven long years ahead, realizing they planned to continue with this basic curriculum.

Naruto concluded that the academy was only hindering his growth and wasting his time. Determined to break free from these limitations, he pondered ways to bypass the academy while still being present. The idea of using the Shadow Clone Jutsu crossed his mind, but he dismissed it, knowing the clones would run out of charaka or get injured and pop during physical training.

As his thoughts churned, Naruto conceived a that the shadow clone justu could work if he used seals, thinking back about his family notes back at his house now he saw some seals that could do the job giving him way. More time to do his own training and not listing to these usles lesson own history that he already know.

Lost in deep contemplation, Naruto only snapped back to reality when Iruka halted the lecture and the entire class rushed out. Slowly rising from his seat, Naruto saw no point in expending energy to be a few seconds ahead of the crowd. As everyone rushed outside, he walked calmly, the Shinobi Academy left behind for the day.

Observing his surroundings, Naruto, utilizing his sensory abilities, scanned for any unwelcome visitors. The Hokage's increased security measures hadn't gone unnoticed after his big personality change, prompting him to remain vigilant. Confirming the absence of anyone nearby, Naruto vanished in a swirl of leaves, reappearing at his parents' house. Stepping into what used to be his father's workspace, now filled with family techniques spanning kenjutsu to sealing, he perused the collection.

Selecting a sealing scroll, a project from his father to improve his grandfather shadows clones technique Naruto read everything with his sharingan not wanting a single detail to mis his eyes, finally finding what he was looking for Naruto gained

the iconic uchiha smirk as the seal for improving the shadow clone justu Naruto started to practice it.

In the serene garden, Naruto stood alongside one of his shadow clones, indistinguishable from himself. Yet, this clone bore one of his father's enhanced seals, designed to test the clone's durability. Turning to face the clone, Naruto delivered a resounding punch to its face, catching it off guard. Instead of dispersing into smoke as expected, the clone retained its form, prompting it to question, "Why the heck did you do that, boss?"

With an unforgiving gaze, Naruto responded, "To test if the seals work, of course, you stupid clone." The clone, now understanding the purpose of the seemingly ruthless act, looked genuinely ashamed. "Boss! I'm still here," it exclaimed, seeking reassurance.

Growing increasingly irritated, Naruto retorted, "Don't you know I can see? Damn, you're so stupid. How did I even make you?" Performing a series of hand seals, Naruto unleashed his frustration with the clone. "Fireball Jutsu!" A massive fireball, five times larger than the clone, erupted from his mouth, engulfing the clone in searing flames. The clone's screams echoed for a few agonizing seconds before dissipating into smoke.

After getting the memories back from the clone Naruto flinchst not seeing how the clone could take the fireball for a few seconds Naruto knew, the clone can take enough hits to go through a entire week of the academy for it runs out of charaka gaining a smal Smile knowing he did not have to go to academy for the next seven years. As now could fully focus on his training and not waste his time while the clone could just play him getting also the Abu of his ass who check up on him weekly, making a new clone and also adding a seal on him Naruto ordered him to go to his appermant.

In the secluded training ground, Naruto, drenched in sweat and panting heavily, stood behind his parents' home. Charaka nearly depleted after an exhaustive training session, he surveyed the remaining clones that had persevered through the insane training be went through eve day. Among them were clones dedicated to honing his taijutsu, while others focused on refining charaka control, kenjutsu, ninjutsu, genjutsu, mastering his various bloodlines, and engaging in intricate sealing techniques.

A staggering 450 clones had been created for this day's training, each serving a specific purpose. As the last 50 clones dispersed, Naruto felt a sense of accomplishment wash over him. Today's achievements included completing the first stage of his fire nature charaka training, successfully burning a leaf,

and mastering the water nature charaka, soaking a leaf entirely. The fruits of his labor reflected in the array of skills and techniques he had refined throughout the demanding session.

Eager to conclude his training with meditation, Naruto settled into a lotus position, closing his eyes. he felt an unusual pull, drawing him to the back of his mind. Opening his eyes, Naruto found himself traversing a peculiar sewer-like environment. The journey led him to a colossal cage, encased in imposing steel bars. A giant claw extended through the bars, prompting Naruto to leap backward.

Raising his gaze, he locked eyes with a piercing red eye, and a mysterious voice began to chuckle, its origin elusive in the shadows. Fixing his attention on the colossal eye, Naruto nonchalantly greeted, "Kyuubi, nice to meet the person who ruined my life." Chuckling in response, the Kyuubi remarked, "So, the warden finally greets his prisoner."

Activating his Mangekyō Sharingan, Naruto fixed a serious gaze upon the Kyuubi. "What do you want, fox?" he inquired, his tone carrying a mix of curiosity and determination.

Glancing back, the Kyuubi responded to Naruto's remark with a mischievous grin. Rising to its full height, it revealed its true form—a colossal fox that dwarfed mountains in its sheer size. With an air of arrogance, the Kyuubi addressed Naruto, "What do you think, brat?" The magnitude of the creature's presence sent a shiver down Naruto's spine, realizing the immense

power that lay within the entity Naruto thought two times before making him a enemy."

"Let me guess: you want to devour my soul, annihilate everything I hold dear, torment me, obliterate my eyes, or perhaps wreak havoc upon the village. Do any of those options sound appealing to you, Fox?" Naruto posed the question, anticipation etched across his face as he awaited the Fox's response. In the pause that followed, Naruto's mind churned with various scenarios, contemplating the myriad ways this interaction could unfold.

Laughing uproariously, the fox couldn't contain the amusement, a tear escaping its eye from the sheer hilarity. "No, you brat, but it does sound like a blast. Now, I want to propose a partnership for the time being," the Kyuubi suggested, the laughter still echoing in the cavernous space.

Caught completely off guard by the unexpected response from the Kyuubi, Naruto grappled with a flood of emotions. The fox's silence was unnerving, prompting a single, pressing question to erupt from Naruto's lips, "Why?" His voice echoed in the cavernous space of his own mind, the question hanging in the air like a weighty secret waiting to be unraveled.

The question lingered in the air, and any semblance of amusement left the Kyuubi at that one simple query. The enormous red eye stared intently at Naruto, a gravity of seriousness enveloping the interaction. The Kyuubi's response echoed with a tone that hinted at purpose, "Because I need you to do something for me."

The weight of those words hung in the cavernous space of Naruto's mental landscape, the gravity of the situation dawning on him. The mysterious request from the Kyuubi held a promise of something significant, a task that would change the boy forever.

Perplexed, Naruto questioned the Kyuubi, "And what do you need me for?" Uncertain of the fox's intentions, a myriad of possibilities raced through Naruto's mind, leaving him in the dark about the potential task the Kyuubi might have in store for him.

"Simple. I want you to kill a man that forced me to attack this village," the Kyuubi declared, a sly grin playing on its face. Naruto's countenance shifted through a myriad of emotions, the gravity of the request sinking in. As he grappled with the weight of the Kyuubi's demand, a complex tapestry of conflicting thoughts and feelings unfolded across his face.

Naruto found a storm of emotions swirling within him, with rage standing out as the most prominent. The realization that someone had coerced the Kyuubi into attacking, leading to the death of both his parents—his mother being the jinchuriki—fueled an intense anger within him. However, rather than succumbing to one-sided fury, Naruto steadied himself and, with a firm resolve, retorted, "And what is there in it for me?"

As the Kyuubi's grin faded, a contemplative expression crossed its features. The boy before him proved less susceptible to emotional manipulation than anticipated. After a moment of thoughtful consideration, the Kyuubi decided to make an offer. "In return, I will enhance your senses—improved smell, hearing, and sight. I'll also grant you an even greater healing factor than what you already possess. To let me do all of this you to rip off a bit of the seal. " The proposition hung in the air, a tempting exchange that could reshape Naruto's abilities.

Reflecting on the situation, Naruto weighed the potential outcomes of this deal. The primary concern was the possibility of the Kyuubi attempting to break free, yet he felt a robust confidence in his ability to subdue the powerful entity using the unique strengths bestowed upon him by his bloodlines. The word "deal" echoed in his mind, signaling a pact that carried both risks and promises.

Approaching the cage with measured steps, the Kyuubi remained motionless as Naruto confidently walked on one of the bars. Utilizing his chakra to cling to the metal, he navigated until he stood near the seal. Carefully, Naruto tore off a tiny piece of the seal, letting it drop as he locked eyes with the Kyuubi.

"Now, do your part, Kyuubi, and I'll do mine,"

"I'll be holding on your part, brat, now leave!" The Kyuubi's voice reverberated in Naruto's mind, and as he screamed the last part, he was forcefully expelled from the mental realm. Back in the real world, Naruto convulsed in pain, feeling the surging currents of the Kyuubi's chakra coursing through him. Frustration and confusion filled his thoughts, "What are you doing, you damn furball?" The Kyuubi's response echoed in his mind, "Calm down, brat. I'm doing my part of the deal."

Remaining on the ground for a few more minutes, enduring the lingering pain, Naruto felt the discomfort abruptly cease. Rising to his feet, he couldn't help but address the Kyuubi within his mind. "Did it really need to hurt that much, you furball?" he questioned, peering into the mental realm.

A mischievous grin formed in Naruto's mind as the Kyuubi responded with a simple, "No, brat." The succinct reply conveyed enough for Naruto to draw his own conclusions. "Sadist," he

grumbled under his breath, the playful banter between boy and fox stopping at those last words.

Driven to test the new abilities bestowed by the fox, Naruto closed his eyes, focusing on honing his heightened senses. Testing his hearing, he discerned the subtle rustling of grass swaying in the wind and the faint crawl of a worm on the ground nearby. Satisfied with the auditory enhancements, he shifted his attention to his sense of smell.

With a deliberate inhalation, Naruto sought to capture every scent around him, expanding his olfactory awareness. Opening his eyes, he marveled at the visual enhancements brought forth by the newfound abilities. His vision extended much farther, allowing him to perceive everything with remarkable clarity, all achieved without relying on his Sharingan.

At 12 years old, Naruto tightly gripped a unique three-pointed kunai, its surface covered in intricate seals. Fueled by determination, he hurled it towards a nearby tree. In a swift and seamless motion, Naruto teleported to the kunai's new location, his form dissolving into a black-and-white blur. As he reappeared next to the kunai, a triumphant grin spread across his face. "I did it!"

"Yeah, yeah, brat, we saw it," came the gruff response. Frowning, the boy retorted, "Don't be such an ass, Kurama." A significant transformation had occurred in the relationship between Naruto and Kurama over the past three years. Initially, it was a forced partnership, a reluctant cooperation born out of necessity. However, as Naruto dedicated himself to relentless training, pushing his limits to the point of unconsciousness or immobility, a shift occurred.

Kurama began to develop a newfound respect for the boy. Regardless of the challenges thrown at him, Naruto emerged stronger each time. While Kurama didn't hold much respect for many things, one constant remained—his admiration for strength. It was a respect for the fortitude to face any challenge, an acknowledgment of the resilience that allowed one to navigate through life's unpredictable obstacles.

Gaining a soft smile, Kurama replied, "But you did a good job, Naruto, getting to learn your father's jutsu." A bright expression crossed Naruto's face as he responded, "Thank you, Kurama. You've been a lot of help this past year."

"No problem, brat. Just don't let me fix you up tonight like I've needed to for the past three years, even with your more advanced healing factor," Kurama remarked. Grinning, Naruto replied, "I promise nothing, furball."

"Fine brat but don't go and complain to me when you feel sore the next day."

Now a 14-year-old, Naruto sat once again in the academy, marking his return after seven years of sending clones in his stead. Reflecting on his recent experience, he pondered how effortlessly he had sailed through the academy exam. The ease of the process left him feeling almost insulted, although he hadn't bothered showcasing the full extent of his abilities to secure the title of rookie of the year. Naruto opted to demonstrate only the necessary skills needed to pass each year, saving the true extent of his capabilities for more dangerous challenges.

While Naruto immersed himself in contemplation, Iruka concluded his speech, expressing his pride in the new genin and outlining the

future of their shinobi careers. As Iruka began calling out the teams, Naruto's attention remained elsewhere until a phrase caught his ear, one he had been waiting for. "Naruto, you are on a team with..."
