Beginning Basic Training

As a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and also the orphaned child of the Fourth Hokage, these ANBU Black Ops may be monitoring Naruto, but their primary objective is his protection. If the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki were to die, the Nine-Tails inside him would also disappear. Leaving aside the time needed for the Nine-Tails to return, searching for and capturing the Nine-Tails would consume a tremendous amount of manpower, resources, and effort. Not to mention the threats from other villages and those who covet his power. The Third Hokage, including Danzo Shimura of Root, cannot allow Naruto, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, to encounter any problems.

That's also one of the reasons why Danzo Shimura wanted to take Naruto to Root for cultivation (of course, his ulterior motive was to control Naruto; if he succeeded, he believed he could directly ascend to the position of Hokage).

Since Naruto was protected by the ANBU, there was no danger in the forest, even if it was inhabited by ordinary wild animals, let alone any malicious intent. Naruto might not be aware of the ANBU's surveillance, but he didn't need to worry.

Today, Naruto, who had successfully refined his chakra, found himself in a forest he was familiar with. Looking up at a particularly large tree, a satisfied expression appeared on his small face. He nodded slightly and said, "Alright, let's start tree-climbing training today!"

The refinement of chakra, control of chakra, and the growth of chakra are the most fundamental paths to becoming a ninja. Naruto had a rough idea of these concepts from his previous life, despite not paying too much attention to the details.

For instance, the control of chakra, Naruto recalled, involved tree-climbing and water-walking exercises, which were the most basic and direct methods to improve one's chakra control.

By attaching chakra to the soles of their feet, adjusting the amount of chakra released, and maintaining its stability, ninjas could enhance their chakra control.

This was something the protagonist had personally demonstrated in front of countless fans in the original work.

For Naruto at this moment, the purpose of practicing chakra control was to further solidify his foundation. Additionally, it would make his daily life more comfortable. Whether it was for foraging, gathering fruits and vegetables, or fishing, it would all become much simpler and more efficient.

Although the influence of the Nine-Tails' chakra was still present, Naruto believed that practicing chakra control now would make his control more refined. When he had the chance to meet the Nine-Tails in the future, he could eliminate the influence of the Nine-Tails' chakra. That way, his strength would visibly increase.

Recalling the techniques and key points of chakra control training from his previous life, Naruto quickly formed hand seals. He carefully mobilized the chakra within his body and attached it to the soles of his feet. It couldn't be too little or too much; otherwise, he'd either be unable to stick to the tree or crush it.

"Alright, let's take the first step."

Once he thought he had roughly controlled the right amount of chakra, Naruto took a deep breath. A determined look appeared on his face as he began walking toward the tree.

"Crack!"

As expected, during his first attempt, Naruto lacked experience, and the Nine-Tails' chakra within him continued to interfere with his chakra control. As a result, the tree in front of him cracked as he failed to control his balance.

In that instant, he felt his center of gravity shift.

Quickly responding, Naruto took a step and performed a graceful somersault, landing safely on the ground.

"Is it because I used too much?" Naruto wondered. He had intentionally increased the amount of chakra attached to his feet, fearing that too little would make him unstable and cause him to fall. However, this attempt had resulted in him crushing the tree trunk.

His first failure didn't discourage Naruto. He knew that the path of a ninja was not easy. Despite the main characters in the original work having plot armor, their progress still required a lot of time and effort. Even with later advantages like the Shadow Clone Jutsu, if not for the numerous hardships they faced along the way, their growth wouldn't have been so smooth.

Everything required a step-by-step approach.
