Chapter 3 - Inner Strength

Konohagakure no sato

The Hokage Office

" Haaa you said naruto is cleaning his room and doing Laundryyy??????"

" Yes Hokage-sama and it's not just the room but cleaning his whole Apartment throughly "

the only answer to the ANBU's report from Hokage was a puff of smoke from his Tobacco pipe and whether it was the ANBU reporting or the Shadowguards around or even Hokage himself , they all have the same exprssions on their face of this absurd report .

The Hokage finally composes himself and walk to the window to look towards the morning sun mutters 

" The sun definitely rises from the east today " 

Hearing Hokage mutterings , the ANBU and masked shinobi also confirms that the sun's position is ok 

" ok who is on active duty today "

" Its Neko Hokage-sama "

" hmmm i met Naruto just a week ago , prepare me a full report of this week and about his activities"

The Hokage ordered the ANBU Captain and his squad responsible for Jinchuriki's surveillance .

" yes "

( I hope it's not another one of his mischief or prank )

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought to himself , as a Hokage , Jinchuriki's abnormal behaviour should raise his guard but as a Parent and Guardian he also carried himself the hope and expectation toward Naruto's future .

( In this cursed world without any peace if possible i wanted to give him a peaceful childhood without any Shinobi or Jinchuriki's burden otherwise the council or others will train him throughly to become Just a weapon for war )

The recent reports on border , Focused activities of Suna and Iwa , 4th Raikage's vital Kumogakure , abnormal behaviour of Mizugakure .

And most importantly the training of sunagakure's Jinchuriki and the status of other village's Jinchuriki starting from the perfect Jinchuriki of Kumo and veterans from Iwa and the 3rd Mizukage . 

Kami knows how much he endured to give him peaceful childhood but the more comfort now the more trouble it will be later , afterall War is inevitable .

1st World War - because of Mito-sama no village dispatched their Jinchuriki

2nd World war - considering Mito-sama's health he hastily declared and finished the war hastily with the help of Sakumo and his Three students or should he say Sannin

remembering the black faces his students made when he addresses them as Sannin brings a nostalgic smile to his face.

3rd world war - With Sannin and Minato's Hiraishin and Kushina with everyone together we were finally able to cope from all directional war 

( Alas the the four great nations are all targeting Land of fire from first to third Ninja war , now all 4 of them are totally focused on us . I fear what future will entail . Its no wonder that Council , Danzo and everyone are on edge , now we don't have Orochimaru neither Minato's timely reinforcement or A Comabat ready Jinchurinki )

" Why does Minato has to put a totally new seal on him without any testing and even letting the Kyuubi's chakra constantly leak through "

Chakra is manifestation of physical and spritual energy , but for something like 'Malice incarnate Kyuubi' just that small chakra that leaks through seal makes anyone near him uncomfortable .

it also affects his Chakra Control , even now he hasn't learned clone jutsi , even though i am using these excuses to let him free roam around Konoha If he really gets serious to become shinobi maybe its also Good.

Before Naruto just wanted to be Hokage , a child's whim who never thought how to become Hokage or the proce--

" Here Hokage-Sama"

Hiruzen eyes goes back to table with scrolls on it , The Old man walks and sits on the cursed chair and finally unfolded the scroll .

The old eyes looks through the scroll and the ANBU goes back to the Corner to await further instructions.

After 2-3 hours of through reading , Sarutobi Hiruzen The Third Hokage Spoke with bewilderment

" Am I really getting Old ?"

because he hasn't found a single piece of intelligence that can link to Naruto's change. pausing up to here The Hokage orders 

" Summon Jonin Inoichi and Shikaku "

After that The Hokage takes out a Crystal Ball under his table and putting it on his desk connects to see what's going on with naruto

" let me see for myself "

looking through crystal he sees a the 9-year old with floor rag in his hand washing through his Apartment floors , After a while looking at the serious kid's face whose eyes instead of pranks or other things are focused on the task at hand The Hokage mutters 

" It is indeed true "

" what is true Hokage-sama "

Looking up The Hokage notices his Jonin Commander and Intelligence Div. Head coming in together , after all their offices are both near 

" Look for Yourself "

Hiruzen invites both of them to gaze upon the kid 

Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Inoichi both took the steps to Hokage's table to look mutters 

" huh what the "

" thiss---"

=====================================================

Uzumaki Apartment :

It's been 2 hours since he read that absurd explanation of the skill since then Uzumaki Naruto has been constantly doing trials and errors in his own domestic and cleaning way to figure out his skill . The first thing he noticed was his panel though.

Status :

Host : Uzumaki Naruto 

Status : Healthy

Skills :

Passive = 

1 - Inner Strength

==================

Yes In skills section there is special categorization of passive skills , looking at golden letters in the new skill his thought was 

( will there be active skills too or what instead of active passive )

But these things are for later to think after feeling and checking this skill he somehow knew a little about this skill even if there is little description 

First it should be lower version of Gamer's mind is certain 

" It allows you to manage emotions, stay focused on goals"

he is already feeling his tremulous emotions calming a liitle and becoming much easier to focus on house chores instead of being nervous wreck in coming to this world 

Second 

" despite setbacks to Find ways to your success "

This got confirmed when he tried practising Transform and clone jutsu even if there are failures in executing jutsu there is always some progress in the jutsu ,

it's like every failure there will always be some gains towards success but there is no idea whenand how much though but only chakra control it's like this not physically

There are others not proven but it should be like this 

Third -

The mental and emotional resilience that allows One to persevere through difficulties It is not Physical but Mental fortitude forged through Loneliness and Self-reliance

( This should be Genjutsu Resistence or something similar ,Right or is it some of that Willpower thing?????)

Another thing he noticed , he can modify his panel a little after trying a while it became like this 

Status :

Host - Uzumaki Naruto

Status - Healthy

Skills :

1- Inner strength ( Passive ) : Calm Mind , Genjutsu Resistence , Willpower , Constant progress ( chakra control )

for now this is all i got , maybe there is more after all it's not just jutsu it works on most things , the constant progress.

After tyding up his Apartment Naruto finally looks upon his apartment even though there is still a little smell , at least its not stinky anymore and finally looks like someone live here .

Going inside his bedroom he takes out the Iconic Frog Wallet and checks his savings 

" 11,748 Ryo " 

Counting his saving naruto remembers the monthly allowence Grandpa gives him which is 5000 ryo ..

 He thinks little and remembers that normal orphans allowance is actually only 3000ryo which is the information he heard about in academy and now piece it together .

" well not every other day one can have 10 bowls of ramen with that little money "

Iruka treat 3-4 times a month then Grandpa's then sometimes Teuchi Ojiisan ramen on the house in between , looking at it 10 days a month he is being treated by others and in 20 he eats ramen or instant noodles.

After taking out the only clean clothes that he left , naruto goes to bathroom and took a bath and finally dresses in white t-shirt and black shorts ' he finally took his wallet and picked the trash near entrance.

Dumping the Trashbags downstairs near the bin , naruto goes to the nearby ally with no traffic first

( at least my transformation jutsu is good enough )

[ Transformation jutsu ]

with a poof and amidst the smoke emerges a 9-year old boy with black hair and black half mask wearing the same white t-shirt and Black shorts

( hmm i think its ok )

he already practised enough in the apartment anyway 

" Now the first stop -
