(A/N Welcome to Untold Story: Uzumaki Naruto. I hope you all enjoy the first chapter, and we will see each other in the next one again. I would appreciate feedback.

This Story is adopted.)

Summary: Naruto had enough and drops his mask during the Chunin exam. A Jinchūriki, who had enough and was the host of the strongest Bijū wouldn't be good for the 5 great nations. Soon everyone would know that you shouldn't mess with Naruto Uzumaki, the Jinchūriki of the strongest Bijū. The question is: Will he bring destruction, or will he just want to life in peace?

Chapter 1: Training

Naruto was currently sitting cross-legged on a training ground on the floor. On his crossed legs was a scroll with a Taijutsu style written on it. He had a month to train for the finals. He wanted to be trained by his sensei, but he disappeared into the mountains with Satsuki.

'Tze, just because she now has a seal too. I've worn one my whole life. What a piece of bullshit.' Naruto was still mad at his sensei. He was in the hospital yesterday and wanted to ask him if he would train him for the finals.

He had informed him that he would be training Satsuki and that he would be going to the mountains with her for the next month. Naruto didn't listen anymore after that, he just turned around and gave him a hateful look again and then disappeared. If he had looked back again, he would have seen his sensei's shocked look at that moment and the doubt in Kakashi's eye.

Naruto had then desperately turned to the last person he could truly trust and who would always be there for him. He had talked to the Hokage, and he took 5 minutes for Naruto's concerns. Naruto told the Hokage everything he was there for and luckily the Hokage was able to help him.

For one thing, there would be that damn seal that snake freak put on him in the woods. Somehow this interfered with his control over his chakra and because of that Naruto couldn't even jump on a roof properly. The Hokage was able to remove this seal from Orochimaru, allowing Naruto to regain control over his chakra again.

On the other hand, there would be things he should practice over the month. He talked to the Hokage about what he needed to work on and why he needed to work on these things. Naruto had listened carefully this time, after all he had no other choice. He got to fight Neji Hyuga, who almost killed Hinata in the second preliminary round.

If he didn't finally take his training and his life as a ninja seriously, he would die sooner than he could blink with both eyes. He realized this while falling unconscious after Orochimaru placed this seal on him. All along, someone could have just cut his throat. When he woke up, he had briefly seen his whole life before his eyes and remembering that moment he sighed.

So far, he had always held back and played his role as a class clown and a failure as usual. But that stopped now and from now on he left this strenuous spectacle behind. He performed this spectacle because he had no other choice. Naruto wasn't that class clown at the beginning of the academy and paid attention in class and was even in the top three. What did he get for his efforts? He was always allowed to leave the class and got lessons from the teachers as to why he always cheated on the tests. The civilians heard of his successes early in the academy and looked at him even more hatefully than usual during this time.

It quickly became clear to him that he had to step back. Otherwise, anything else could happen to him. He wasn't strong enough back then because he had only been at the academy for a few weeks. But when he's done training, he'll be strong enough. He would be able to hold his own against anyone and never again would he play that stupid role. Never again. He swore that to himself.

Naruto looked around and saw several Kage Bunshin (Shadow Clones) also currently reading through the scroll. The wonderful thing about the Kage Bunshin was that they created themselves with the objects that Naruto had on his body. The objects probably dissolved again with the Kage Bunshin, but this allowed him to read and learn more at once. The other big advantage was that the Kage Bunshin were unique at training. Everything they experienced and every experience they had was transferred to Naruto upon dissolution. That really meant everything. Be it the process of certain muscle groups during Taijutsu training or the control of the chakra. Even the train of thoughts. The problem with this training method was the fact that the exhaustion would also be traced back to Naruto.

He found all this out in the conversation with the Hokage. Naruto really wondered what he had really done with his "Sensei" in the last six months. Besides the training where he learned how to climb trees with chakra, he didn't learn anything from him. The team units were completely useless as Satsuki always acted alone, only collaborating with the team when absolutely necessary. Really only as a last resort. Naruto had already learned more in the 5 minutes with the Hokage than in the last six months with Kakashi.

Naruto turned his attention back to the scroll, the first part of the scroll. He had no real style when it came to taijutsu. He was more of a brawler, just using his fists imprecisely without any technique behind them. That was the first thing he needed to fix, and fast. He should have a proper style by the time he graduated from the academy. In the academy, a certain style was taught to the students, which represented a very solid foundation. Knowing this style made it much easier to learn other styles. Since Naruto never learned this style, he really must start from scratch.

But that's not the big problem, because he had the fox inside him and because of his lineage he naturally had more chakra than others. He's probably the only one who could create a thousand Kage Bunshin consistently. By using these, he would gain a lot of ground in his training and catch up a lot in a very short time. With the help of his former sensei Iruka, he came up with a training plan and he was now working on it. The first was taijutsu and his control over his chakra. He had more chakra than many jonin combined, but control over his large reserves was pretty low and he wasted a lot of chakra in a jutsu. At the moment he only could use the Kawarimi (substitution) , the Henge (Transformation) and the Kage Bunshin. The normal bunshin (Clones) were impossible for him, and he never learned a new jutsu from his sensei. Of course, he could also use the Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique), since the Kawarimi was based on the Shunshin no Jutsu. It was only possible to change place with a log for example because of the speed of the Shunshin no Jutsu.

He glanced sideways and saw a log used for taijutsu training. He already had an idea how to use such a log with several Kage Bunshin. Theoretically, he could touch the log, and this should also cause multiple logs to appear when the Kage Bunshin was created. But that remained to be seen, so far this had only been pure speculation. He focused back on his scroll and continued reading through it.

He currently had 10 Kage Bunshin sitting around him, each reading a different part of the scroll. This allowed Naruto to read the scroll faster and get the information faster.

Sitting in the Hokage's office was none other than the Third Hokage. He just came from another meeting. He dropped into his comfortable chair and opened the drawer of his desk. He took his pipe out of the drawer, igniting it with a bit of fire chakra manipulation and started smoking it. Hiruzen Sarutobi was the third shinobi in the world of ninja to be called God of Shinobi. This was still in its heyday. The experienced ninja was now 63 years old. A great deal of experience and knowledge came with old age. He could use all 5 basic elements and knew every jutsu in the village. Due to his great experience and his great knowledge, he earned the nickname professor.

He rubbed his temples, trying to calm the throbbing in his head. These meetings were getting harder and harder. He's been a Kage longer than anyone else. Even the third Tsuchikage Ohnoki didn't have as much tenure as Hiruzen under his belt. He's definitely older than Hiruzen, but he took office later than Hiruzen. Due to a tragic incident almost 13 years ago, the fourth Hokage died and then Hiruzen took over the office of Hokage again and since then no worthy successor had appeared. The person who could take over from him did not want this position.

Hiruzen looked at the crystal ball on his desk and held both of his hands over it. He let some chakra flow into the crystal ball and right after that the image of Naruto with his Kage Bunshin appeared in the crystal ball. Hiruzen smiled slightly at the sight. He watched Naruto use his Kage Bunshin to read the scrolls and then unravel them, holding both his hands to his head as if going through the information.

Hiruzen didn't know it at first, but he just happened to find the solution to his biggest problem. As Hiruzen replayed the scene inside his head, his eyes widened slightly. 'H-how could I not think of that?!'

He just realized that he could just use Kage Bunshin for all the paperwork and that way he would have more time for other stuff, whatever that was. In this way he would also be finished faster and could often come home earlier and not only late at night. Only to be back in his desk before sunrise and to work through stacks of papers again.

Naruto didn't know what it was, but he felt something in the back of his mind. As if someone understood something through him. He shook his head and stood in front of the log and touched it with his right palm. With the other hand he made a hand sign and created a Kage Bunshin. Unfortunately, he had to realize that the log wasn't created at the same time. It seems like there were some limitations on this topic. That meant he may have to change his tactics a bit. "Start with the first form and practice on the log."

The Kage Bunshin saluted and stood in front of the log and began training. Naruto himself stood in the middle of the field and made a hand sign. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" (Shadow Clone Jutsu) Dozens of clouds of smoke appeared all over the area. Naruto's eyes widened slightly when he saw the number of Kage Bunshin. He wanted to create 100, but this was guaranteed to be more!

'Ok, maybe I shouldn't dedicate all the kage bunshin to taijutsu. I should probably use some for my control as well.' Naruto briefly thought about how to do this and then after a minute decided on something.

"OK LISTEN! ONE HALF WILL START TRAINING THE FORMS OF THE TAIJUTSU STYLE AND THE OTHER HALF WILL TAKE CARE OF OUR CHAKRA CONTROL." Naruto had to yell because the Kage Bunshin were really spread all over the field and the field, he was standing on was big.

"WE'RE ON IT!" All the Kage Bunshin responded with great energy and went about their assigned tasks. Naruto himself shook both legs briefly. 'Damn, that's really unusual.' Naruto had accidentally met Sensei Gai and received Lee's weights from him as support for Naruto's training. Naruto was grateful and promised Sensei Gai to honor him.

Gai was someone who was easily misunderstood. He was known for his very energetic manner and of course for his talk about the power of youth. Underneath all this, Naruto could see an incredible ninja who had been through a lot and who accepted everyone for who they were. Naruto realized from the start that Sensei Gai was different from other people in the village. He had incredible knowledge of human nature and had accepted Naruto as a ninja from the start and had even helped him with his training once or twice.

Naruto himself would not train with his Kage Bunshin. He himself would take care of his strength and speed. He had received a few tips from Gai on which exercises he could use to achieve the best results. So, he started to warm himself up.

He was a little skeptical at first, why Sensei Gai was helping him at all. After all, Naruto would fight against Neji who was after all a student of Gai. Gai had several reasons, but he kept them all to himself and only told Naruto that he was doing this partly for Lee and after that Naruto didn't ask anymore. Naruto was just glad he got those ankle weights from Gai.

Naruto felt his body slowly getting warm and he could start. He looked around again and couldn't help but be amazed. Hundreds of Kage Bunshin were either performing taijutsu-style forms or improving his control over his chakra. The field was definitely occupied by the group practicing his taijutsu and the forest was clearly occupied by the other group. No matter which tree he looked at, everywhere was a Kage Bunshin of his, running up and down the trees without a break. Some also sat on the ground and had leaves all over their bodies that just wouldn't fall off the Kage Bunshin's body.

Naruto got down on the floor and started doing push-ups. Thus began his long strength training for the next few hours. He had an advantage that nobody else has. He had a huge demon inside of him which would allow him to heal faster, and this included muscle tears and thus his muscles would grow faster.

Naruto didn't notice the pair of eyes watching him from a distance. Behind a mask, 2 light brown eyes watched Naruto as he did his strenuous workout. The person was currently wearing the normal Anbu outfit and the tattoo on their shoulder showed that this person was definitely an Anbu. It was also known who it was from her long purple hair. It was the Anbu codenamed Neko. She had often babysat Naruto when he was younger.

She had seen the confrontation with Kakashi and wanted to cut off her former captain's head with her katana. However, this confrontation seemed to have brought back the Naruto she got to watch back when Naruto wasn't wearing his mask yet and he was the calm and intelligent boy. She hadn't seen Naruto for a long time and when she found out that she was to look after him for the month, she was glad. So, she could monitor Naruto's training a bit and intervene if something happened. Her friend also had enough to do preparing for the final round, so she had enough time for her mission.

The sun was about to set, and Naruto was still training. He was momentarily in a handstand and just stayed put. He had his eyes closed and was concentrating on his breathing. He lifted his right hand off the ground and let his body fall slightly to the left. After a few seconds he corrected his posture and put his right hand back on the floor. Now he was no longer wearing his jacket, which he usually wore. Now you could see what was hidden under this thick jacket all this time. A fishnet shirt could be seen where his muscular torso was clearly visible underneath.

After 5 minutes Naruto opened his eyes and slumped forward and as he landed on his feet, he simultaneously snapped his body up and was soon standing securely on both feet. He wiggled each of his limbs a bit and then stretched properly. He went to his backpack, where everything was inside for today's workout. He took a bottle of water out of his backpack and took a good sip of it. Naruto watched his Kage Bunshin for a while sitting on the floor with his legs crossed. He had done enough strength training today. His whole body and his mind were saying the same thing.

He looked into the distance and could see the place where everything had changed. The Forest of Death was where he met Orochimaru, and it was also where this snake freak put the seal on the Uchiha, making her even more arrogant.

He looked at the sun, which was already beginning to disappear on the horizon and didn't know how and why. His lips curled into a slight smile. His blue eyes seemed to sparkle, and his blond hair started to sway in the wind. He wasn't busy using all his strength to keep up the spectacle anymore. Now he could just relax and really enjoy the moment and that's what he seemed to be doing right now. His soul came to rest at the sight. Naruto realized for the first time why the sunset was so beautiful and what feelings a sunset could evoke in a person. The sunset reflected in his eyes.

Whoever stood closer to him and looked into Naruto's eyes would see a pretty spectacular picture. His eyes were reminiscent of the endless ocean and with the reflection of the sunset you get the feeling as if you were standing on a beach and looking across the ocean. The sun was slowly setting on the horizon, making this sight even more beautiful.

Naruto just watched the sun go down the whole time and just kept breathing calmly and controlled without even moving or making any sound. He just felt validated in that moment. As if he had no more worries in his life.

Naruto looked around and decided to dissolve his kage bunshin bit by bit. "OK ALL WATCH OUT! I WANT YOU TO BREAK UP INTO SMALL GROUPS AND DISPELL IN 30 SECONDS INTERVALS!" After that, Naruto sat down and closed his eyes. He didn't want to know how badly his head was about to ache from all the experiences he was about to have.

Naruto got all the experiences, thoughts and much more of his Kage Bunshin within the next half hour. He also almost fainted at times from extreme exhaustion, but he was able to clench his teeth and remain conscious.

Later we see Naruto slowly walking inside his apartment. He was pretty exhausted and just wanted to sleep. The sun only just set and yet he was more exhausted than ever. Even when fighting Haku, he wasn't as exhausted as he was today. He was still happy that he managed so much today. He was sure that he would get to a good level within this month. He hopes to be at the level of a jonin when he completes his training program. At least in one aspect of shinobi life. Be it Taijutsu, Ninjutsu or something else. He knew that he still needed some time to really be at jonin level in all areas, but he wouldn't let that stop him from getting stronger.

Naruto took off his blue sandals and walked past a mirror. He glanced at himself in the mirror and ran a hand through his hair. No matter what he tried, his hair would probably always stay that way. Even when he got out of the shower, they still had their spikes on. Naruto sighed, maybe he should have someone cut them. Of course, he could also let them grow. So far, he had always kept them at the same length and with success. He shook his head; he had plenty of time when his training was over, and he could take care of things like new clothes and his looks. Now it's time to shower, eat and then go straight to sleep.

"Report." An older voice came from a dark room.

"Naruto Uzumaki has started training." A person knelt in front of an older man and told how Naruto trained today.

"Good job. Bring him the materials without being detected." The older man turned and didn't look back and walked down the long dark corridor. The person who reported to him disappeared leaving no sign of the meeting.

Everything was quiet in Naruto's apartment. All that could be heard was the ticking of his alarm clock and the quiet breathing of Naruto himself. Everything seemed to be the same as always. The moonlight shone on his blond hair, making it shimmer slightly. His breathing was calm and regular, as was the way of a sleeping person.

Out of nowhere, a light draft came into Naruto's room, whereby this light draft didn't even make Naruto flinch. A person in Anbu clothing and a weird mask appeared. She wore a black cape and cap.

The person placed a scroll on Naruto's dresser and then disappeared again in a small breeze, as if no one had ever been there. After the wind had died down, it became quiet again in the apartment.

Naruto's body twitched slightly as he slowly came out of the realm of dreams and back into the realm of the living. He slowly opened both eyes and saw the usual ceiling of his room. Naruto stretched once and then straightened up. He yawned a bit and looked out the window. The sun was just beginning to rise and yet Naruto was already awake. A habit from his younger years. At that time, he always had to go shopping in a Henge early in order to get everything. Had he ventured out of his dwelling in a henge at a later hour, he would have been spotted by the Chunin in the village.

Naruto swung his legs off the bed and stood up. He had a lot planned, after all his training was in the foreground. He didn't really have any friends anyway, although he could perhaps describe Shikamaru and Choji as such. Otherwise, there was hardly anyone there. Only Shikamaru and Choji ever did anything with Naruto outside of the academy back then and during the time they became genin. No one else had "time" to do anything with Naruto. 'Yeah, what a dumb reason. Who are you trying to take for a fool?' Naruto got slightly angry at the thought and felt something deep inside him telling him it's ok to be angry. Naruto agreed with that feeling and just went to the bathroom.

A few minutes later, Naruto emerged from the bathroom wearing orange pants with his other clothes still in the closet. He only now noticed the scroll on his chest of drawers, and this made him immediately suspicious. He was 100% sure he didn't leave a scroll there. Naruto picked up the scroll and looked at it. He couldn't grasp anything special about the scroll, so he sat down on the ground and unrolled it.

Why did he just unroll it like that? Quite simply, if the person intended to kill him, the person would have done it while Naruto was sleeping. That means there's something inside the scroll that the person wanted Naruto to see, so he just unrolled it like that.

Naruto raised an eyebrow. There were several seals where books were sealed inside. This could be recognized by the inscription "Book" in kanji written in the middle of the seal. Naruto activated a seal by flowing chakra into the seal and a book appeared in a small puff of smoke. Naruto looked at the title of the book and realized that this book was about chakra theory and control. This would be exactly what Naruto could use for his training. He opened it up and read directly about an exercise where you had to walk on water through chakra. He couldn't do this exercise yet, a few pages further on in the book there was the exercise with which one climbs a tree with chakra. 'This book is perfect, whoever sent me these materials seems to know what I need for training. So, someone is watching me.' Naruto didn't really like the thought, but that someone didn't mean any harm to Naruto and that was enough for him. The person sent him things for his training and that helped him.

Naruto rolled the scroll back up and took the book as well while standing up. He put the two things on his dresser and then went to the closet and took out a new fishnet shirt and his usual jacket. He had several copies of these clothes because he didn't get anything else. He was happy to have clothes that passed as "ninja" clothes. When he's done in one month, he would change something, but now he needed something to eat first and then to the training ground.

He quickly made himself some vegetables, meat and rice. A good portion of it, because he needed the energy of the food. He may have the fox inside him, but he would still be using a lot of energy, so his body would need all the energy it could get.

Naruto then put on his blue sandals, grabbed his backpack and then left his small apartment. He locked the door and then put the key away safely. He focused chakra into his legs and jumped onto the nearest roof and then onto the next.

Naruto arrived at the training ground and put the backpack against a tree. He took off his jacket and then opened his backpack. He took out the book from there and sat down on the floor. He made a hand signal and 5 Kage Bunshin appeared in several puffs of smoke. "Everyone starts reading a different part of the book."

Without saying anything, everyone present began to read. 20 minutes later, Naruto dissolved the Kage Bunshin and went through the information he had gotten through it.

'It looks like walking on water is the next exercise to gain better control over my chakra. The exercises afterwards are still beyond my ability.' Naruto stood up, briefly lifting his orange pants, saw the weights on his legs and nodded. He let go of his pants and made a hand signal, again creating a massive puff of smoke. Naruto didn't try to do 100 kage bunshin this time. He could do 2000 if he would use some of the Fox's Chakra. Without his chakra he could still make 1000 pieces. When a Kage Bunshin dissipated, the chakra also came back to Naruto and because of that Naruto could create some again afterwards or use the chakra for something else.

"OK LISTEN! ONE HALF DEDICATES TO THE TAIJUTSU STYLE AGAIN AND THE OTHER HALF SPLIT INTO 2 GROUPS! ONE HALF DOING THE SAME AS YESTERDAY AND THE OTHER HALF DEDICATES TO THE WATER EXERCISE!" Naruto screamed again because the entire area in front of him was filled with his Kage Bunshin and in a normal tone not everyone would hear him.

"WE'RE ON IT!" Everyone screamed and then started to do their jobs. Naruto himself didn't start his training straight away, but instead took the scroll out of his backpack and began unsealing the other books in the scroll. One was about nature transformation, which meant about training for the elements. Another one was about Fūinjutsu (Sealing Jutsu), which confused Naruto a bit. He clearly wanted to learn Fūinjutsuat some point, but actually after the exam. He may leave 2 or 3 Kage Bunshin in his apartment starting tomorrow, which would then do Fūinjutsustudy.

He could still clearly remember the technique Orochimaru used against him. If he knew this technique and the technique with which one dissolves Orochimaru's technique again, he would have a great advantage. This could at least affect a seal, as far as it appeared to be.

Besides all the books that Fūinjutsuand the two books on Chakra Theory/Control and Nature Transformation, there was only one other book. This book was not like any other book to date. Naruto picked it up and immediately realized that it was some kind of diary. When he opened it, he was speechless. It was the journal of none other than Tobirama Senju, the second Hokage of Konohagakure. The one who developed the Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Technique), the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu and many other jutsus. He was the Hokage Naruto liked the most. This Hokage was the spitting image of a shinobi. Of course, Naruto also liked the other Hokage, although the fourth Hokage was limited. After all, the Fourth Hokage was the reason why he became a Jinchūriki (Power of Human Sacrifice) in the first place.

However, he decided to seal all the books back into the scroll except for the Second Hokage's journal. Naruto would read through this diary. He was interested in the thoughts of this incredible ninja. For example, how did one come up with making the Kage Bunshin? The Kage Bunshin was after all an B-rank Kinjutsu (Forbidden Technique) due to their high chakra costs. All the abilities that these special Bunshin had, where did they come from? How did the Second Hokage manage to develop this technique in the first place? Naruto would like to know all this.

Naruto spent 2 full hours reading the first half of the diary and he had to say that this was more than enlightening. The Second Hokage used this journal since he was a child and there, he told of a time that was before the days of the ninja villages. While the Second Hokage was still a child, there were only clans and no villages. The Senju clan and the Uchiha clan were considered the strongest clans of the time. Naruto could also read there that the Senju clan was related to the Uzumaki clan. Which basically made the Senju and the Uzumaki cousins. The First Hokage wife was also named Mito Uzumaki before she married Hashirama Senju, thereby becoming Mito Senju.

Naruto put the book in the backpack and started warming up. His head was full of information from the diary, which he wanted to go through during training. He also needed some distraction right now. He couldn't believe he was a relative of the first and second Hokage. Even if this was only over countless corners. So he wasn't just from a known clan, but from a known clan related to one of the two founding clans. Naruto started to wonder if his life so far was a joke all along.

Naruto shook his head and started doing push-ups. He was going to clear his mind of these thoughts and go through the information the Second Hokage was writing down about his techniques. He was known for being the best suiton (Water Style) user in the world. He could create massive masses of water out of nothing. Where the First Hokage was known for his mokuton (wood style) , the Second Hokage was known for his suiton. The Second Hokage described exactly what it took to create water out of thin air just like he did, and exactly how to get those abilities.

Tobirama Senju developed special exercises that only he could perform. Through these exercises he had perfected the ability to develop these enormous water masses out of nothing. Naruto wondered if he might be a suiton user like the second Hokage and if so, then he could train to became as good as the second Hokage in suiton. It would be an advantage, after all there were not many Suiton users in the village. But he would also be satisfied with the element of fire. He would like to have one of these two elements, because he liked them the most.

After 3 days, Naruto added something new to his training plan. So far, his Kage Bunshin had only ever practiced the forms of the Taijutsu style. After 3 days, Naruto started fighting with 5 Kage Bunshin, which allowed him to use the forms in battle. It was important not only to learn the forms of a style, but also to train the forms in a fight. Taijutsu training was only completed by fighting opponents. This was how Naruto trained his attention. After all, he had to fight against 5 Kage Bunshin at the same time and therefore he always had to pay attention to 360° around himself. So, his senses were heightened.

Naruto had also assigned a small troop of Kage Bunshin to hone and perfect his shuriken and kunai skills. Even after becoming a Genin, his Kunai/Shuriken accuracy wasn't 100%. This should be the case in the Academy, but like so many other areas, the teachers there tried to manipulate him and specifically showed him how not to do it. Naruto had a lot of catching up to do and he hated it. He really hated every single teacher except Iruka. In the end, only Iruka really pointed out to Naruto what he was doing wrong in class. However, this was too late, because Iruka was only his class teacher for the last half year of the academy.

Naruto had only left 3 Kage Bunshin in his apartment in the beginning, but the very next day there were 10. He didn't know what it was, but Fūinjutsu was like a drug to him. He couldn't get enough of this area and wished he could study Fūinjutsu himself all day longand learn. He assumed that this came from his Uzumaki blood. The Uzumaki clan wasn't known for his mastery over Fūinjutsu for nothing.

2 weeks passed where Naruto finally felt ready to learn nature transformation and finally learn what element he possessed.

Currently, Naruto was standing by the tree where he always put his backpack, holding a small paper in his hands. It was a special piece of paper that reacted to chakra and showed the nature of the user's chakra. If it teared, you belonged to the wind (Fūton) (Wind Style). If the paper got wet, one belonged to the water (suiton). If the paper burst into flames, one belonged to the fire (Katon)(Fire Style). When the paper was crumpled, one belonged to the lightning (Raiton) (Lightning Style) and when the paper crumbled, one belonged to the earth (Doton) (Earth Style) .

Naruto just allowed a little chakra to flow into the paper. With his improved control, he could really only let the small amount flow into the sheet. Before that he would have let far too much chakra flow into the small paper. He could see how the paper burst into flames and turned into ashes. That meant he had the very common fire nature.

The sun had just come up and seemed to be beating down on Naruto in full force at the moment. Naruto still had the entire day ahead of him and he was just thinking about the lines in the book of the Second Hokage.

He was happy that he got fire as his element. Now he could finally devote himself to his training, where he would learn about nature's transformation. Since he trained control at the same time during the training, he didn't have to change anything when dividing the Kage Bunshin. The group that trained in his control, just started training the nature transformation. Since he already knew exactly which exercises, he had to do, everything was much easier. The exercises for each element were in the book on nature transformation and the elements in general.

Naruto made a hand signal and as always, many clouds of smoke appeared where Kage Bunshin appeared inside. Naruto didn't even have to give orders anymore because before he created them, he just thought about them and like magic all Kage Bunshin knew it. He figured out this application by the fifth day and like the last 1 1/2 weeks the Kage Bunshin disappeared to their areas and started training. Naruto himself started warming up to do his strength training. Naruto looked at the group, who now all had a leaf from a tree between their hands.

His achievements in Fūinjutsu were massive, leaving only 10 Kage Bunshin in his apartment at a time. Of course, they went through and practiced the topic all day long from morning to evening. Nevertheless, Naruto was amazed at how quickly he understood everything. He already had the first two levels of Fūinjutsudown, with a total of 10 levels. Naruto understood the subject down to the smallest detail, no matter what he read there or practiced, he got everything almost straight away. In the beginning he just had some problems with his calligraphy. After his handwriting couldn't get any better, nothing stood in Naruto's way and he sort of flew through the books, completing the first two levels of Fūinjutsuoff pretty quickly.

Naruto started training himself and was already thinking about his fight with Neji. If he really got fast enough, he shouldn't even need to use anything other than taijutsu. At least that was his reasoning. Through all his fights against his Kage Bunshin, his body got used to fighting many opponents and responding to every little action with a reaction. The fact that his Kage Bunshin were always just as fast as Naruto himself naturally made training easier. He still wanted to see if he could fight someone who was better than him. Now his training plan was enough for him, so he wasn't dependent on anyone.

Naruto landed in front of a grave and looked around. He had done a lot yesterday before Neko showed up and asked him to go to the Hokage. Naruto genuinely wondered what Hiruzen wanted from him. After all, he only had 2 weeks left before the finals began and he still had a lot to do before then. Even with all his Kage Bunshin, it would still take some time before he had mastered his element and after that he had to get some jutsus for his element from somewhere. After all, he had everything to master the element, but he didn't have any materials on jutsus per se. Especially not about Fūton jutsus.

Hiruzen had told him that there was someone who wanted to get to know him. There would be someone who would coach him personally for the last 2 weeks. Hiruzen would have liked to send him to that person from the start, but it took him 2 weeks to reach that person and persuade him to train Naruto.

No matter how much Naruto could do with his Kage Bunshin. It would be an advantage if he had a teacher during the time. Especially for his Taijutsu. Of course, he's already made good progress, but still, it took more than just a scroll, a lot of kage bunshin and a lot of perseverance to get really good at taijutsu and Naruto had to get good at taijutsu.

He needed a master to really improve his taijutsu enough in the last two weeks that he would be able to handle against Neji Hyuga. Naruto didn't question the wisest man in Konoha. At least he knew it himself. He had a good basic basis now, but he still had more to learn. He was currently outside of Konoha and was standing in front of a grave here.

Here he should meet the person who would be teaching him Taijutsu for the last two weeks. Of course, Naruto would also train everything else with his Kage Bunshin, but he's still happy to have someone who could teach him something directly.

"Naruto Uzumaki?"

Naruto turned and saw an old man. He was a tan-skinned man of below-average height. In old age, he was noticeably wrinkled with gray dreadlocks, was missing an upper right tooth and sported a Manchu and trimmed chin-beard. He wore a yellow jumpsuit with black stripes and open-toed sandals with a green sweatband, and red square-framed sunglasses.

Naruto raised an eyebrow at the small older man. "Yes."

"Good." The older man walked around Naruto once and examined him. He held his hand to his chin and stroked his manchu beard a little. He nodded in satisfaction and then stood in front of Naruto again. "You have everything that is needed. Follow me."

The older man just turned and walked away. Naruto just followed him silently and didn't say a word. He didn't object, after all he wanted to continue training as soon as possible and be taught by this older man.

Half an hour later, both people landed at a small wooden hut, which was quite isolated. Both moved after 2 minutes like any other shinobi. By jumping from tree to tree you could cover the most distance with the least effort.

"Alright Naruto. My name is Chen. I'm officially declared dead. I'll teach you, but only on the condition that you never give anyone the information that I'm still alive." Chen looked Naruto straight in the eye and was satisfied as he nodded directly without hesitation.

"Then let's start. I'm curious how much you've got. Hiruzen told me a few things about you." Naruto followed Chen and walked with him around the wooden hut around it. An open field appeared behind the hut, where there were rocks and logs everywhere.

Half an hour later Naruto was lying on the ground with a lot of injuries. He really couldn't believe how strong this little old man was. He had remembered why the name Chen sounded familiar to him from. Chen was the most famous taijutsu master of Konoha. He was known in all 5 countries. Although he looked so small and so weak, Chen was extremely strong.

Naruto didn't stand a chance against him, and he had thought he had a good standing at Taijutsu by now. He's really glad that Hiruzen sent him to Chen. Because of Chen, Naruto realized that he needed to put a lot more time into his Taijutsu. Ninjutsu or similar was quickly learned through his Kage Bunshin. But real Taijutsu could only be learned from a real teacher. Having only one scroll was only good enough for the basics.

Of course, he had already created all Kage Bunshin before Chen beat him to the ground. Naruto took a deep breath and then settled into a sitting position.

"You did well Naruto. I didn't expect you to have such a good foundation with your story. I will make you a good taijutsu practitioner by the finale. I'll even teach you some Taijutsu techniques that even Hiruzen can't do. You are the first to learn these techniques after myself." Chen said.

Naruto stood and bowed once. "Thank you for this unique opportunity." Naruto said. He was glad he came here. Who knew what these techniques were like? He's excited. He could certainly learn everything through his Kage Bunshin. Naruto was sure of that.

'The day after tomorrow it's already so far.' Naruto was lying in his bed with his arms folded behind his head. The sun was just going down; he came back from his training with Master Chen today. He had learned more in the last month than anyone else in such a short time. Also, Naruto had hundreds of Kage Bunshin training stuff for him every day. He didn't even try to figure out exactly how much time that was taking.

Naruto looked to the side and saw his backpack. He got up and opened it slightly. His hair had grown longer in the last month. He didn't know exactly why, but they turned out to be much longer than they should have been. Now you could see 2 long strands framing his face. His shirtless upper body also showed the successes he had over the past month. Visible muscles could now be seen where there used to be small patches of fat. It's a bit unusual for someone to have a six pack by the age of 13. Even Lee didn't have a six pack and he's been training his body for years. Overall, Naruto had gotten a muscular body and looked quite impressive. Well… his muscles grew at a faster rate because of the fox inside of Naruto and that could be called cheating. But Jinchūriki weren't called the perfect weapon for nothing.

Naruto took a scroll out of his backpack and just laid it on his bed. His blue eyes had changed a bit in the last month. They appeared more focused and not as "childlike" as some shinobi would call it. Naruto now had the look of a real shinobi and no longer that of an academy student.

'Time to take care of my clothes.' Naruto had been wearing his old clothes for the last month. Now that he has finished his training, he could finally get some new clothes. He already had a rough idea of how he would like to dress.

Naruto opened the closet and took out his usual jacket. The wardrobe which used to be so full was now completely empty. Not another piece of clothing could be seen there except of course the underwear. It's still there. All the clothes got pretty much demolished during his training and now it was time to get some new clothes.

Naruto was wearing the last pair of orange pants and now he put on his usual jacket one last time. Naruto turned around and took the scroll and walked into the hallway. He zipped up his jacket and after doing so, he put on his blue sandals.

After that it was just a matter of leaving the apartment and then he could start. He just locked the door and then concentrated chakra into his legs. He jumped off towards the store where he would get some new stuff. Not only clothes, but also new kunai and shuriken. During training, he used up almost everything he had.

When Naruto came out of the shinobi store, he was wearing completely different clothes than before. He was now wearing black pants and black sandals. Bandages could be seen between the sandals and pants, as seen on so many other shinobi. Bandages were also attached around his right thigh, where a shuriken pouch was attached. Another pouch was attached over his hip for other items such as kunai and scrolls. On his upper body you could see a long-sleeved mesh shirt and over it he wore an orange jacket with black high fur collar and short sleeves. On the back you could see the sign of the Uzumaki clan, which Naruto wore with pride. The red spiral could be seen on almost every shinobi, at least those who wore the regular Konoha attire. On the flak jackets, for example, the red spiral could also be seen on the back. Last but not least, he wore a black headband tied around his forehead.

Naruto looked down at the scroll in his hand and then tucked it into his pouch over his hip. Naruto liked his new outfit. No matter what others may say about his jacket, he couldn't and never would stop wearing orange. He just grew too fond of this color for that. He may not be an idiot anymore and he knew that color wasn't optimal, but he just needed some orange on his body. He loved that color way too much, he didn't even know why.

The reason was always "That's how everyone notices me!". This was the excuse he made up while wearing his mask. Although this was just a simple excuse. For as long as he could remember, he has loved the color orange. He didn't know why it was like this, but it's just a part of him.

Naruto went off calmly and enjoyed the calm that usually prevails in Konoha in the evening. Naruto could just use a Shunshin (Body Flicker) to get to his apartment faster, but he didn't have to. His body was still a little tense from his last workout today. Tomorrow he would rest all day and visit Lee in the hospital.

As Naruto walked the streets of Konoha, many looked at Naruto strangely. Many covered their mouths with a hand, especially the older villagers. Naruto looked like a young Minato Namikaze and of course the older villagers who had seen the Fourth Hokage often noticed this.

Naruto raised an eyebrow in confusion when he didn't get the other looks. He knew full well that everyone recognized him. All he could think was that it was his new look. He looked strikingly similar to the Fourth Hokage with his new hairstyle. Naruto often had the suspicion that the man was his father. He honestly didn't know what to make of it.

Who would seal the Kyūbi (Nine-Tails) into his own son? Naruto couldn't imagine the Fourth Hokage doing such a thing. After all, he was known for his great concern for his family. So why should the Fourth Hokage seal the Kyūbiin his own son, although he should know what that meant for Naruto.

Naruto's childhood was hell, there was no other way to describe it and Naruto would probably never be able to fully forgive the villagers for that. He had nobody but the Third Hokage to be there for him. He was always just ignored and sometimes even beaten up and other things.

Naruto shook his head and just kept walking. He honestly hoped he had a different father. Someone who looked a lot like the Fourth Hokage and therefore Naruto had a hairstyle similar to the Fourth Hokage.

'I haven't eaten at Ichiraku's for a month. It's time to eat the food of the gods again.' Naruto had gotten stronger and was no longer an idiot. However, he would never deny the fact that Ichiraku's noodle soup was not of the gods themselves.

Naruto was in his apartment for a short time and put his new clothes in his closet. Now his closet was full of new clothes again and after he had done this, Naruto started towards Ichiraku.

Now he just turned the last corner and then saw the food stand. He smiled slightly when he heard the voice of his big sister figure. Ayame and Teuchi were the only people besides Iruka and Hiruzen who were there for him during his time at the academy. Through Ayame and Teuchi he had been able to get to know what every child wanted. The feeling of being part of a family.

He lifted the curtains slightly and sat on the stool where he usually sat. He watched as Teuchi stood with his back to him and was cleaning something. Ayame was in the back of a room and couldn't be seen.

"Hey."

Teuchi's ears twitched slightly at the word. He looked over his shoulder and when he saw that blond hair his eyes widened briefly. However, when he saw the marks on Naruto's cheeks and the orange jacket, he started to grin. "Naruto!" Teuchi turned around and as luck would have it, he had just made noodle soup. He actually wanted to eat them himself, but he wouldn't eat them now. No way! He hadn't seen his favorite customer in a month.

Naruto smiled and raised his hand while Teuchi automatically placed the bowl in his hand. "Where have you been in the last month my boy?" He let go of the bowl and Naruto placed it in front of him. "You've changed a lot." Teuchi couldn't have put it better.

"I was training for the final and that's why I wasn't here. I decided not to wear my mask anymore." Naruto couldn't help but grin at Teuchi's reaction. He knew very well that Teuchi saw through his facade from the start. Teuchi liked to be "just" a restaurant owner and yet this man was very intelligent and sees things immediately.

Teuchi sighed with relief. He really didn't know how much longer he could have watched this game of suffering. "About time my boy. I'm curious to see what your real self is like." Teuchi turned around and started to prepare the next portion. He knew exactly whether it was a new himself or not. Naruto just loved his noodle soup too much and that made him grin slightly.

"Thanks." That was the last word before Naruto started tasting the food of the gods again after so long.

Not much happened the rest of the evening, he just went for a short walk and then straight home. When he got to his apartment, he went straight to sleep.

(A/N I hope you enjoyed the first chapter. I would appreciate feedback about this whole scenario and the training so far. Could I bring over his change believable or was this not good enough? I wish you all good luck in your life, a healthy body and a good time! Always smile, laugh and help your friends and family! We see each other in the next chapter.)
