Heading to Ninja Academy

When Uzumaki Naruto woke up, he was lying quietly in bed, his breathing steady and deep.

Last night, the Hyuga Clan bloodline had undergone a deep fusion with the Uzumaki Clan, Uchiha Clan, and Senju Clan bloodlines within him.

He slowly opened his eyes and felt the surging power of his bloodlines.

After waking up, he felt that the power within him had grown even stronger, as though a new force was flowing through his blood.

The morning sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains and fell across Naruto's face.

Standing before the mirror, Naruto focused and sensed the newly fused bloodline within his body.

His pupils changed in an instant as the Byakugan unfolded in his eyes. In the original story, when Hyuga Clan ninjas used the Byakugan, not only would their eyes turn pale blue-white, but the veins around their eyes would bulge as well.

That was because their eyes were also under pressure when using the Byakugan, forcing some of those veins to bear the strain.

But Naruto's bloodline was exceptionally perfect, and his body's endurance far surpassed that of ordinary Hyuga Clan members.

When Naruto used the Byakugan, the veins around his eyes showed no change at all under his deliberate suppression.

Although Naruto was currently using the Byakugan, the Perfect Contact Lenses concealed it completely, leaving outsiders unable to notice the change.

When using the Byakugan, its wielder could see through everything before them. But the Byakugan possessed an even more terrifying ability: it could see the pathways through which Chakra flowed in the human body, as well as the Chakra points that released Chakra.

Through the Byakugan, one could clearly understand an opponent's Chakra.

It was a penetrating eye capable of clearly seeing an opponent's meridians, acupoints, and Chakra flow, as well as seeing through objects; a telescopic eye that could observe distant places; and an insight eye with exceptionally strong perception.

By using Chakra to multiply the eye's abilities, it could see everything within a radius of one kilometer. Its insight surpassed that of the Sharingan.

"So this is what the world looks like through the Byakugan? How marvelous!" Naruto sighed in admiration.

"Then what happens if I try this too?" At the same time, he activated the Single Tomoe Sharingan as well.

The Sharingan and Byakugan, two Kekkei Genkai that should have been mutually exclusive, appeared in Naruto's eyes at the same time.

His vision became extraordinarily clear. Not even the tiniest speck of dust could escape his eyes.

With the Sharingan layered over the Byakugan, Naruto's observational ability was now incredibly powerful!

Naruto walked to the window and pushed it open, allowing the morning breeze to brush against his cheeks.

He widened his eyes and took a deep breath, sensing every ripple in the air.

Without needing to form Hand Seals or activate the Mind's Eye of the Kagura, everything around the house was already within his sight.

The number of Anbu agents and the amount of Chakra within each of them were all plainly visible to him.

"Getting stronger feels so good!"

Feeling the Chakra being consumed within his body, Naruto could not help but sigh.

"The Sharingan layered over the Byakugan is powerful, but the Chakra consumption is a little too great. Even with my current Chakra, it won't be easy to keep them activated for long."

"I never thought that I, Uzumaki Naruto, would have a day when I lacked Chakra. Then I'll spend the remaining time extracting Chakra!"

Day after day passed, and Naruto devoted all his training time to extracting Chakra.

Soon, it was the day before school began.

After finishing another day of training, Naruto returned home.

Naruto's Chakra had now reached the level of a normal Jonin, perhaps even a little more than Teacher Kakashi in his usual state.

Teacher Kakashi had to endure the constant drain of keeping the Sharingan active. It really was not easy.

At the same time, Naruto discovered that Teacher Kakashi was not around his house. He muttered, "Could Hiruzen Sarutobi have called him over?"

Naruto had guessed correctly!

In the Hokage's Office, Hiruzen Sarutobi was speaking with Kakashi Hatake.

"Kakashi, tomorrow is the opening day of the Ninja Academy. I need you to take Naruto to attend the opening ceremony." There was a trace of seriousness in Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice.

Kakashi nodded, a hint of respect in his eyes. "I understand, Hokage-sama. I'll make sure Naruto arrives safely."

Kakashi naturally understood what Hiruzen Sarutobi meant. Naruto's identity was far too special. If he went to the Ninja Academy alone, some irrational villagers might very well stop him at the entrance and cause another commotion.

With Kakashi protecting him, ordinary villagers would not dare act recklessly in front of him. Kakashi was also one of Konoha's famous Elite Jonin. He had made a name for himself at a young age, was the student of the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, and the son of Konoha's White Fang, Hatake Sakumo.

In terms of pedigree, Kakashi was quite impressive as well.

The next morning, Naruto woke up to the sound of knocking outside his door.

When he opened it, he found Kakashi Hatake standing outside.

This was the first time he had officially met Kakashi, but Naruto still had to pretend he did not know him.

He politely asked, "Hello, who are you looking for? Did you come to the wrong place?"

Seeing Naruto's expression, Kakashi introduced himself seriously. "Hello, Uzumaki Naruto. I'm a ninja assigned by the village. My name is Kakashi Hatake. I'm specifically responsible for taking you to the Ninja Academy's opening ceremony."

"Alright, thank you for the trouble, Teacher Kakashi!" Naruto smiled and said happily.

"Naruto, I'm not a teacher at the Ninja Academy. You don't have to call me teacher!" Kakashi was briefly taken aback by Naruto's form of address.

It was as though he had returned to the days when he, his close friend Uchiha Obito, and Rin Nohara had been together on Teacher Minato's team.

Back then, they had also enthusiastically called him Teacher Minato.

A few traces of warmth and nostalgia flashed through his eyes as Kakashi said—

"Is that so? I thought you were a teacher at the school. But Teacher Kakashi is really easy to say!"

Naruto also realized that he had accidentally let it slip and instinctively called him Teacher Kakashi.

But Kakashi had already come up with an explanation for himself, so Naruto did not need to explain any further.

Led by Kakashi, Naruto followed the streets of Konoha to Konoha's Ninja Academy.

Along the way, they encountered plenty of villagers gossiping about them. Faced with the malice directed at him, Naruto did not take it to heart. He simply turned a blind eye.

What did they know? They were nothing more than pitiful pawns being used by others. Once I become Hokage someday, will they be worried and afraid of what they're doing now?

He naturally knew they had been incited by certain disgusting people. Every grievance had its culprit, every debt its debtor.

Sooner or later, I'll kill you a hundred times, Danzo.

However, with Kakashi accompanying him, even though the villagers continued to mutter insults under their breath, they did not dare make any moves.

Nor did they dare encourage their children to throw stones at Naruto like before.

The person beside that Demon Fox was the famous ninja, Kakashi Hatake.

Ordinary people always regarded ninjas with thirty percent curiosity, forty percent respect, and thirty percent fear!

At this time, many parents had already brought their children to the Ninja Academy, waiting for the opening ceremony to begin.

Some parents had been chatting and laughing, but the moment they saw Naruto, their expressions changed drastically, as though they had eaten shit.

They whispered among themselves, "Look, isn't that Uzumaki Naruto? Why is he coming to the Ninja Academy too?"

"Yeah, isn't he an orphaned Demon Fox? How can he go to school?"

"Could the Third Hokage-sama have made an exception out of kindness and allowed him to enroll?"

"No, my child can't attend school with a Demon Fox like that!"

"Who knows whether one day he'll turn into the Demon Fox and hurt our children!"

"Exactly! Once the Third Hokage-sama comes out, let's go protest together!"

"Reject Uzumaki Naruto's enrollment in the Ninja Academy!"

"Reject Uzumaki Naruto's enrollment in the Ninja Academy!"

"Reject Uzumaki Naruto's enrollment in the Ninja Academy!"

With his extraordinary hearing, Naruto naturally caught every word of their conversation. He did not feel angry. He even found it a little amusing.

The decision to let me enter the Ninja Academy was made by the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi himself. These mere Konoha civilians dare question Hiruzen Sarutobi's decision?

It's time to let these villagers see the power of this Third Hokage. One blast of fire, one cage, and they'll obediently stay here and behave!
