Practice

Naruto continued to eavesdrop on the conversations of the people in the room, benefiting from his newfound understanding of his new life.

The Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, had taken steps to ensure that Naruto's unique situation remained a secret. He planned to hold a Jonin meeting and instructed that nobody should discuss the child's life history. Naruto was to be treated as an ordinary war orphan in the village, and the legacy and relics of his parents would be confiscated, with the Hokage promising to take care of him.

While pretending to sleep, Naruto's lips tightened in discontent. It wasn't lost on him that his parents had left behind a substantial inheritance, and now it was being taken away. His parents, Minato and Kushina, had likely left behind not just wealth but also valuable assets. The original Naruto in the village had lived on instant noodles, and now he understood why.

Once the Hokage and the others left, Naruto opened his eyes, revealing a flash of resentment in his azure blue gaze. While he knew that in the original storyline, no one was aware that he was the Nine-Tails Jinchūriki, and they simply referred to him as a "demon fox," he couldn't help but feel a sense of betrayal.

In his previous life, he had been destined for a life of privilege as the child of Minato and Kushina, but now, with a few strokes of a pen, he had been reduced to a pauper. He couldn't help but wonder why Sasuke was so highly regarded while he was treated as an outcast. Was he truly so different from Sasuke? 

He couldn't help but think, "Those who love Konoha Village can stay." His determination to leave the village only grew stronger. However, he was also aware that he couldn't act on this impulse right away. He was too weak to even stand up at the moment.

For now, Naruto would have to bide his time and grow stronger, all while keeping his true identity hidden from the world.

"No, I can't just lay here like a helpless baby. I need to start preparing early," Naruto thought, narrowing his eyes as he began to formulate a plan.

Silently, he extended his senses throughout the entire building of Konoha Hospital. While he was still very young and hadn't developed his abilities fully, he managed to smoothly establish a mental image of the entire hospital building within his spiritual world.

In his mental realm, he could "see" the entirety of Konoha Hospital, including even the smallest corners and any people moving about.

He also spotted the Hokage's group, who had left his room earlier, as well as a few Anbu operatives lurking in a concealed corner outside the hospital. They were keeping watch over Naruto's room.

It appeared that the Hokage had dispatched these Anbus secretly to protect the newborn. As long as no one entered Naruto's room, these guards remained outside, vigilant but unobtrusive.

Upon discovering this, Naruto decided to take action.

Ashura's chakra has began to show it's wonder and made him stronger.

He abruptly rolled over and lay on his stomach on the bed. Then, with determined effort, he began doing push-ups.

If anyone were to witness this scene, they would undoubtedly be shocked. A two-day-old baby doing push-ups? It was an inconceivable sight. People might even think he was some sort of supernatural prodigy, given his reputation as the reincarnation of the Nine Tails.

However, Naruto didn't worry too much about this. He had activated his perception ability and was keeping a close eye on the corridor outside his room. If anyone were to approach, he could immediately lie down and pretend to be asleep.

Naruto refused to remain idle. He had already decided that he would leave Konoha Village at some point in the future, and he understood that he needed to prepare in advance.

One of those preparations was building his physical strength. With no other options at the moment, he quietly started exercising. Despite his infantile constraints, he began his training regimen.

Though his body was still feeble and incapable, he seized this opportunity to initiate his training, aiming to develop a robust physique for the future.

He knew that the foundation of everything lay in his physical strength. While many believed that ninjutsu was the most critical aspect of being a ninja, Naruto recognized that even the most powerful ninjutsu might not be effective if it couldn't hit its target.

It wasn't a turn-based game where one could simply use powerful moves to defeat all opponents. If that were the case, there would be no need for anything other than mastering ninjutsu.

Illusions, while powerful, were also ineffective against Jinchūriki. They worked by manipulating the Chakra flow in the target's brain, but a Jinchūriki could disrupt their own Chakra flow to break free from such illusions.

Once a Jinchūriki reached a mutual understanding with their tailed beast, the beast could help them dispel illusions at any time. However, this required a level of cooperation and trust between the two.

Without that mutual understanding, the sealed tailed beast couldn't provide any assistance.

With his current limitations, Naruto couldn't engage in traditional ninja training. Therefore, he decided to use this time to develop his physical strength, hoping it would serve him well in the future.
