11 Changes

A month had swiftly passed since Naruto's birth in this new world, and the initial chaos brought on by the Nine-Tails' rampage had gradually settled. Efforts were underway to rebuild the damaged structures within Konoha Village, which had suffered significant casualties during the incident.

The names of those who had lost their lives in the battle had been confirmed, and a mass burial had taken place. Families of the deceased had received their pensions as a token of gratitude for their sacrifices. Among those who had perished were Naruto's parents, the Fourth Hokage, Minato, and his wife, Kushina. Their untimely deaths had added to the grief and sorrow that had gripped the village.

The emergence of the Nine-Tails had caused considerable panic, and the situation had prompted the Third Hokage, Hiruzen, to come out of retirement and reassume his role as Hokage to stabilize the village.

However, not everyone was pleased with this development. Danzo, who had harbored hopes of becoming the Fifth Hokage after the Third Hokage's retirement, was frustrated by the Third Hokage's return to power. He believed that the Third Hokage's previous leadership had led to questionable decisions during the ongoing Ninja War, including unfavorable armistice agreements.

Initially, Danzo had hoped for his chance at leadership after Minato's death. However, to his surprise, the popular and accomplished Minato had taken up the mantle as the Fourth Hokage. Minato's rapid rise to power had overshadowed even legendary figures like the Sannin, and Danzo had no choice but to bide his time.

When Minato was killed, Danzo believed it was finally his opportunity to vie for the position of Fifth Hokage. However, the Third Hokage's unexpected return to the role of Hokage had shattered his hopes.

In response, Danzo had taken drastic measures. He had covertly recruited half of the Anbu's forces to his side and had orchestrated an assassination attempt on the Third Hokage during his inauguration at the Daimyo's Mansion in the Land of Fire.

This was a high-risk move, as assassinating the Hokage was considered an attack on the heart of the village itself, and it could have dire consequences for Konoha Village and its stability.

Naruto continued his silent training regimen, even at the tender age of one month. His early exercises included push-ups, sit-ups, and squats, simple yet effective muscle-building routines. With not much else to do at this stage, he committed himself to these exercises.

Aware of his own differences, he constantly kept his perception ability active. If anyone approached his room, he would immediately stop his training to avoid suspicion.

This practice yielded two unexpected benefits. First, his mastery of perception improved rapidly, and the range of his perception abilities expanded. Second, since his perception was tied to Ashura's Chakra, and that Chakra also belonged to Naruto, it led to a significant increase in his own Chakra reserves.

This puzzled Naruto, as he recalled the original setting of Chakra being a combination of physical and spiritual power. Yet, he found that his Chakra was increasing rapidly, and even Kakashi had noted that his Chakra was several times greater than that of a Genin in the cannon.

Additionally, he realized that he couldn't access Sage Mode with his current understanding of Chakra; it required maintaining a specific Sage Mode Chakra.

Despite the mysteries surrounding Chakra, after a month of dedicated exercise, Naruto possessed physical fitness far beyond what a typical one-month-old baby should have. His first baby teeth had even begun to emerge.

He was confident that he could hold his own against a five-year-old in a physical contest, although he admitted that this was his only notable attribute at this stage, considering his one-month-old status.

During this period, Naruto also tried to establish contact with Nine Tails. He believed that establishing a dialogue with the beast inside him was crucial, as he recognized that the power of Nine Tails would be vital for his future plans, especially if he aimed to leave Konoha Village as soon as possible.

However, no matter how hard he tried, Nine Tails remained unresponsive. The beast did not acknowledge Naruto's attempts to communicate or even respond to its real name, 'Kurama.'

"Can you ignore me forever? I don't believe that you can't be reached," Naruto muttered in frustration, determined to find a way to connect with the powerful entity residing within him.
