Dangerous Winds
(Few days later)
Learning in the academy is harder than it looks, that's what Naruto thought. They have to learn mathematics, geography, science, and etc. some subjects he found boring, but couldn't do anything but listen. There are some subjects that he payed attention to like reading and writing, which he really needed, ninjutsu, genjutsu, taijutsu, the fundamentals of chakra, how to mould and control it and other shinobi related subjects. Naruto absorbs it like a sponge and would answer some questions asked
He manage to make friends with Shikamaru, Choji, Hinata, and surprisingly Shino who would talk to him if he was talked to. He tried to be friends with Kiba but he was still mad at him about his lost. He didn't approached Ino and Sakura cause they are Sasuke's fangirls but he talks with them. Sasuke's the same, brooding and sometimes glaring at him
Finally, after finishing the rest of the day listening through lecture and etc. he would finally train his breathing technique. He already saw the mice summoning contract a few days ago but he doesn't know how to do it, so he puts it aside

Back at the training grounds with new weights on his limbs, a gift from Guy-sensei and Lee, he saw a panel from the system
_______________________________________________
Train your kenjutsu by swinging 0/500
Continue training Total Concentration Breathing
By using the method Total Concentration Breathing: Constant during the day, noon, night
_______________________________________________
"Hey system what's Total Concentration Breathing: Constant" Naruto asked
/It is a Total Concentration Breathing state during the morning, noon, and night, and even while asleep that advanced Demon Slayers, such as the Hashira, can constantly maintain. There is an immense difference in strength, speed, and stamina between someone who can maintain Total Concentration Breathing at all times and someone who cannot. By doing it every minute of the day, one's physical fitness drastically improves. It may sound easy Host, but it is quite difficult/
Naruto took a deep breath and screamed
"Yosh! Let's do this!" Naruto yelled

Naruto has been running around the village day after day after school for the past months with weights on each of his limbs and constantly keeping a breathing pattern. Swinging his katana numerous times and trying to cutting down logs and boulders. The anbu that are monitoring him thought that this kind of training is quite brutal for a kid his age be doing. He has been using the constant method every day all morning, noon, and night.
He could feel his blood flow rushing throughout his body, his bones all the way to the marrow strengthen, getting faster, his cuts getting cleaner and his reaction time sharper. He saw his stats and level rising. He tried doing the method of moulding chakra but failed due to how low his chakra control is, so he tried to train his chakra control instead by meditating and a task by the system which was tree climbing by using only his feet. He falls a lot by unconsciously putting too much chakra or putting low chakra on the soles of his feet, he was able to get a hang of it and stay on the tree for a few minutes. He took breaks once in a while by resting under a tree or by going to Ichiraku's for some ramen
He would continue maintaining the breathing pattern during lessons, to which Shikamaru noticed and found it odd.
After school he approached Shikamaru and Choji and talked to them
"Hey!, Shikamaru, Choji!" Naruto greeted them
"Hey, Naruto" Choji greeted back while Shikamaru lazily waved in response
"What's up with you Naruto? For the past months you've been getting sweaty and breathing heavily" Choji asked
"Oh, that? I was training myself after coming here at the academy" Naruto said
"So that why..."Choji said
"How about you guys train with me?" He suggested
"Nah. After seeing you all sweaty, I could say it involves something heavy, it's such a drag doing it" Shikamaru immediately said no
"Sorry Naruto I can't but thanks though" said Choji
Naruto pouted "fine...suit yourselves"
He went away. Sasuke was nearby and heard their conversation. He scowled by hearing that Naruto was training all the time and he is falling behind. He couldn't beat him on the taijutsu matches against Naruto but he was able to beat him by kunai throwing but he could see that Naruto was improving it little by little. He went away and headed straight to his compounds training area
'Mark my words Naruto, I will surpass you!' Sasuke said in thought
When the anbu reported it to Hiruzen, he was curious of Naruto's training and progress. He once called Naruto at his office and asked him about the katana that he had, Naruto just told him he got it from someone. He wanted to ask more about this someone but he dismissed the thought not wanting to be untrustworthy to him, so he just left it be

(A year passed by)
It was now his second year on the academy, he even celebrated his birthday at Ichiraku's, which makes Naruto incredibly happy that Ayame and Teuchi celebrated with him, Jiji came by to say Happy birthday and asked Naruto what he wants for a present. He asked for a wind style ninjutsu, why? Cause he needed it for his arsenal just incase, Hiruzen was skeptical about this but he thought
'heck. I'll just give him a C-rank ninjutsu scroll'
In the end he gave him the Wind style: Great breakthrough scroll
Naruto was happy, sure he has a lot of ninjutsu claimed from the system but one more wouldn't hurt

In class with Iruka wrapping it up
"Alright students we will continue this another day, enjoy your weekend" said Iruka
"Hai! Iruka-sensei!" They all said
They all packed up and went on their way. Naruto was walking with Shikamaru and Choji but the difference between them was that Naruto was taller than them. With the tasks that he completed it, leveling up made him grow taller than a average 7 year old, making him look like 8, his physique change from skinny to fit
After saying their farewells, Naruto got back at his apartment and laid down on his bed with his arms supporting his head

He looked through it all and was satisfied with the results after a year of training
He was glad with the rewards and felt that his hardwork is finally paying off. He wonders on how to communicate with the kyuubi since it's been too long and he still doesn't know how to communicate with it. He wanted to ask him on why he is inside of him and who sealed him
He left that thought alone and decided to get some ramen

*SLURP!*
After Naruto ate his 8th bowl of ramen he said
"Teuchi-san thanks for the food!" He said happily after eating his ramen
Teuchi nodded and said "Don't mention it Naruto" said the sage of six bowls
Ayame came to get the stacked bowls from Naruto and said
"Are you off training again, Naruto?"
"You betcha!" Naruto shouted
"I won't stop until I've reached my goal of becoming the Hokage and being the strongest swordsman!" He said
"Well, don't overworked yourself, like last time" Ayame said
Naruto awkwardly laugh at that. That time when he overworked himself wasn't pleasant, he had to rest for a week for his muscles to relax
"I won't, I promise" Naruto reassured them
The father and daughter smiled at this and Naruto bid them farewell and off to the training grounds he goes

Arriving at the training grounds with his nichirin blade facing toward the trees, he payed attention to what the system is saying
/Host, slowly inhale through the nose until you feel your abdomen fill with air, then exhale through the mouth even slower/ the system said
From the trees, where Naruto was facing is the two anbu Cat and Badger monitoring him
"Looks like he's training his kenjutsu again" said Badger, to which Cat only nodded in response
Naruto closed his eyes and slowly inhale and slowly exhaled, he inhales again while performing a jigen ryu stance. The anbu noticed this and had a bad feeling about this
"Wind Breathing First form:..." Narutos muscles tense and in a high stance, he opened his eyes
He dashed forward in blinding speeds, aiming to cut the trees unaware that the anbu are there. 'NANI!' Cat and Badger thought and felt the wind shifting
"Dust Whirlwind Cutter!" And he unleashes a continuous horizontal cyclone slashes of wind, slicing through the trees and it's vicinity. The wind slashes kept coming and slices through the trees cleanly even the ground and boulders aren't spared

The anbu were lucky to get away but they were cut up on the slashes leaving them cuts on their bodies
*Pant* *Pant* "what kind of jutsu is that? I've never heard of it before" cat said, holding his arm with slash marks
*Pant*"could this be a new jutsu he created?" Badger said
The two of them looked at each other and knew that they must report this to the Hokage and to treat their wounds as some of the slashes were deep, so they disappeared leaving a trail of leaves behind
Naruto looked behind him and saw the power and destruction of the first form
'this is....wind breathing' he thought, his eyes widened at the devastating attack he used
He looked at the nichirin blade at his hand and fell silent for a moment, he asked the system
'System. Is it possible that I can acquire more breathing styles?'
/Yes Host/ that's all the system said
He gripped the handle tightly and thought of the possibilities of mastering Wind Breathing and other Breathing styles
He looked forward and went on back on the stance
'I'll master this Breathing style. Then I will master the others!' he said in thought with a smirk creeping up on his face
To be continued
