Naruto set tonight's dinner on the table and listened alone to the clock's tick-tock in the room, feeling as though he had been reborn into another life.

He had been in this world for several years now. Though Naruto had grown used to being alone, he could not help feeling empty inside.

Glancing at the Meat Chop in his lunchbox, Naruto picked it up with his chopsticks and took a bite, silently providing his own voice-over.

Constitution +1

Over the years, Naruto had eaten quite a bit of system food in the Sealing Space.

However, the effects of eating it inside were almost negligible compared to the outside world.

Hmm... Naruto felt that was easy enough to understand.

After all, the Naruto in the Sealing Space was only a consciousness.

As for those foods in the system that glowed in all sorts of colors...

He truly did not dare take them out and eat them.

The stat boosts from those things were simply too overpowered, and after adapting to the rules of the outside world, Naruto was genuinely afraid that he would explode and die on the spot after eating one.

His new account had only just started. He did not dare mess around.

As for the items in his inventory...

When he took out one cubic meter of stone and it adapted to the rules of the outside world...

Six-year-old Naruto simply could not lift it.

The first time, driven by curiosity, Naruto took out a block of raw stone. Since he could not lift it at all, it fell straight onto the floor of his room, smashed through the wooden floorboards, and dropped to the floor below...

It scared the Konoha civilians downstairs half to death.

Who would have thought that while they were sound asleep in the middle of the night...

A huge, square boulder would fall through their ceiling?

That stone had happened to smash through the headboards of two households. If Naruto had shifted it thirty centimeters farther left when taking it out, he could have earned the achievement of taking out three with one stone.

If the Third Hokage had not compensated and apologized to those people, then arranged new homes for them after having them move out of Naruto's building, the residents of that apartment building would have stormed the Hokage Building.

From then on, Naruto was the only one living in that building.

He also realized just how terrifying the system on him was.

He had not even taken out anything else yet, and one round stone had nearly scored a triple kill. That was truly frightening.

Naruto did not even dare drink the milk from the system.

Under the influence of the outside world's rules, he feared that one gulp might directly erase the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox inside him...

Then he would really cry himself to death.

Sometimes, having an overpowered cheat was a kind of trouble too...

Still, most of the relatively normal food in his inventory could be taken out and eaten without any problem, and it really could increase his strength.

The fact that Naruto had once beaten several older brats by himself on a snowy day and saved his wife, Hinata, was enough to prove that his physique had already surpassed that of an ordinary person.

As for the other items, he would probably have to wait until he was older before daring to take them out and play with them. Otherwise, Naruto truly feared he might accidentally wipe out Konoha, or even the entire ninja world.

Knock knock—

"Little Naruto, are you home?"

"Grandpa came to see you."

At that moment, a sudden knock came from outside, followed by the voice of the Third Hokage.

"Coming."

Naruto quickly shoveled down two bites of food, picked up his lunchbox and tossed it into the sink, wiped his little mouth, and headed for the door.

Before opening it, Naruto rubbed his face with his small hands and put on an innocent expression.

Having an adult soul yet needing to pretend in front of the Third Hokage from time to time was truly difficult for him...

Hurry up and let school start already!

Naruto shouted inwardly as he slowly opened the door.

"Hello, Grandpa Third Hokage."

"Little Naruto, Grandpa has come to see you again."

The Third Hokage smiled kindly, then raised his hand to pat Naruto on the head.

This immediately made Naruto's face flush with anger. He swiftly dodged aside, refusing to give the Third Hokage any chance to touch his head.

Seeing the child dodge, the Third Hokage chuckled awkwardly and did not take it to heart.

Kids...

Was it not normal for them to be a little mischievous?

His own grandson, Konohamaru, was very mischievous too.

It was no big deal.

"Naruto, this is your allowance for the month."

"And this..."

The Third Hokage took several banknotes from his robes, then pulled out a Ninja Academy Acceptance Letter and placed it on the table.

The only thing that puzzled the Third Hokage was...

The strange Kekkei Genkai Naruto possessed.

Several years ago, Naruto had summoned a stone and nearly killed several innocent Villagers. Only then did he realize that this child possessed some... special Kekkei Genkai.

At first, he thought Naruto had awakened some sort of earth-release Kekkei Genkai. But as he learned more later...

The Third Hokage discovered that the things this child summoned were not limited to stones.

Clumps of dirt, seeds, hoes, axes, and so on...

He could even produce animals and everyday household items.

It could be said that this child's talent for farming was unmatched in the ninja world.

Sometimes, the Third Hokage felt it would be a waste if the child did not become a farmer in the future...

But the problem was...

Your father was the Fourth Hokage, Konoha's Yellow Flash. Ninjas from other villages would tremble in fear just hearing that name.

And your mother was from the Uzumaki Clan, wielding Sealing Techniques with astonishing skill. There were barely any in the entire ninja world who could rival her.

As for this child...

He was Konoha's Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, said to be the strongest tailed beast. In the future, he was meant to become Konoha's greatest power.

He was not supposed to spend his future farming fields and raising pigs!

What kind of absurd Kekkei Genkai was this?!
