Chapter 07: A Small Life Question

"Maybe it's my talent."

After thinking for a moment, Naruto stroked his chin and came to a conclusion.

After all, chakra is a combination of physical strength and spiritual strength. His physical condition is very good. It is reflected in the fact that he can go to the shopping district to buy whatever he wants without any pressure.

Furthermore, if it wasn't for his good physical condition, he wouldn't be able to become the vessel of the great fox inside his body.

And spiritual power is the embodiment of the mind and experience.

Reading can make one wise.

Although he is still young, his mind is considered mature compared to his peers and he has more reserves of knowledge than them, so it's normal for his chakra to grow rapidly.

Knowing this, Naruto has more confidence that he will be able to become an excellent ninja in the future.

Then, after washing up, Naruto, in a good mood, prepared a large plate of stewed meat noodles and fried two extra eggs.

After he was full, he moved around lightly for a while to digest, then took out a scroll among the books that the ANBU sent him yesterday and began to read.

First, it explained the meaning of the scroll.

It is divided into the clone technique, transformation technique, and body replacement technique. It is the foundation for becoming a ninja, and there are also some ninjutsu that play a significant role in ninja battles.

Especially the body replacement technique, even after becoming an advanced ninja, there is a high probability that it can be used in battle.

After explaining the meaning, it's the knot of the twelve basic ninja hand seals, and then the specific practice method, which explains in detail what type of seal is needed and what kind of chakra flow is required.

For lunch, Naruto ate meat with green vegetables on top of rice.

Although he really likes ramen, even eating it for three meals a day is not a problem, but considering the balance of meals, Naruto finally chose the combination of meat and green vegetables, which is a combination of meat and other produce.

After eating and finishing cleaning up, Naruto started to try practicing the techniques.

The first one is the simplest Transformation Technique. Naruto carefully controls his chakra, completes the seals with ease, and then shouts like a child playing a ninja game.

"Transformation Technique!"

Immediately after, a burst of smoke appeared.

"...."

Nothing happened...

He tried the clone technique and the body replacement technique again, and of course, the result was the same as before.

Three consecutive ninjutsu trainings failed, but Naruto didn't get discouraged.

Although Naruto believes he has talent, after all, he is a beginner, and it's not a big deal to fail a few times.

After all, failure is the mother of success.

Setting aside distracting thoughts, Naruto chose the simplest Transformation Technique to focus on and waited until the training session to proceed to the Clone Technique and the Body Replacement Technique.

With the flow of chakra, he performs the Transformation Technique.

If he fails, he will compare textbooks to summarize the reasons for the failure, attempt to improve, and then move on to the next ninjutsu program.

Even though each operation, regardless of success or failure, consumes a portion of chakra, Naruto doesn't care much about it.

Anyway, the amount of chakra consumed is not as fast as it can be replenished.

Basically, he hasn't felt the consumption, as it has been smoothed out by his growing chakra.

After practicing for another three hours, after Naruto summarized his last failed experience, he felt that the flow of his chakra had reached a perfect level.

With confidence in his heart, Naruto felt that this time he could definitely succeed in using the Transformation Technique.

"Transformation Technique!"

Naruto shouted, and smoke billowed.

As he looked at the clothes on his body, they had indeed transformed into the Third Hokage's robes.

Did he succeed?

Just as joy surged up, Naruto saw Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen in a mirror with torn eyes and lips.

"It's exactly the same as described in the scroll, why did it fail?" Naruto was puzzled.

Thinking for a moment, he couldn't find the answer.

Naruto decided to try again, this time being more cautious and successfully performing the ninjutsu.

Following the steps, Naruto once again used the Transformation Technique perfectly, just as described in the scroll.

Then, hopefully, Naruto saw the Third Hokage in the mirror, who didn't have sausage lips, but looked at him with a strange smirk, as if mocking him for being a fool.

"Again!"

After performing the Transformation Technique more than ten times with a perfect method similar to the scroll, they all failed without exception. In that moment, Naruto was a bit skeptical about life.

Do I not even have the talent to practice ninjutsu?

Because of this, can't I even use a simple transformation technique?

Unconsciously, a depressed mood surged up in Naruto's heart.

However, Naruto didn't take long to regain his spirits. He could even learn those complicated math problems and Chinese characters.

He made rapid progress on the first day of refining chakra. It didn't make sense that he couldn't even learn a simple transformation technique.

With this thought in mind, Naruto focused more than ever and used the Transformation Technique again.

Of course, there was no accident, and he failed once more.

After dispelling the Transformation Technique, Naruto gritted his teeth a bit.

"That bastard, it's him." Naruto comically widened his eyes.

This time, due to his extreme concentration, he could feel that while he successfully performed the operation, there was another chakra in his body disturbing his abilities.

Although this chakra is not strong, ninjutsu is also something intricate. Even a slight alteration of chakra, especially within the body, can cause the ninjutsu to fail.

In this way, it's understandable that he used the Transformation Technique to become that strange form.

Although Naruto is confident that he will be able to overcome such disturbances through many exercises, practicing ninjutsu under such disturbances is undoubtedly a way to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Under normal circumstances, Naruto would only think that his talent wasn't good enough to fully master chakra, so he couldn't perform ninjutsu. However, last night, he saw the great fox living inside his body.

"Damn, is this how you repay me after I let you have free rent!"

Naruto leaned back aggressively in the chair, then closed his eyes and focused on feeling the sealed space in his body.

 Then shortly after, Naruto stood in front of the iron gate.

 He saw the big fox lying face down, who seemed to be sleeping.

 At this moment, the other party's expression is calm, without smiling, she looks very cute.

 However, the current Naruto doesn't care if this big fox is cute and he asked angrily:

 "Stinky fox, why are you interfering with my ninjutsu practice?"
