Naruto picked up the enrollment notice on the table and flipped through it. He found that there was less than a month left before school started.

At the thought of school, Naruto could not help recalling how he had carried a backpack to school in his previous life.

Unfortunately, he had no parents in this life, so naturally, no one would take him to school.

But that was not a big problem.

At least he still had a Big Fox!

"Am I finally going to become a ninja?!"

"I'm really looking forward to it!"

Over the past six years, Naruto had maintained a reasonable exercise routine every day.

He would jog for half an hour, practice horse stances, and so on.

In short, he used every training method he knew from his previous life.

Still, he did not dare train too intensely.

After all, he was only six years old. He had heard that excessive exercise at too young an age could stunt his growth.

Unfortunately, after six years in this world, he still had not had a chance to come into contact with Chakra.

Afraid of making the Third Hokage suspicious, he did not dare ask about it either.

As for the fox in his belly...

It probably knew how to refine Chakra.

But the key issue was...

He could not bring himself to ask.

There was no telling whether the fox would teach him. If it thought Naruto wanted to learn Chakra in order to control it, it would probably bristle again.

That fox always gave Naruto the same feeling as the Big Orange he had raised in his previous life.

Other than not being fat enough, its tsundere personality was practically identical.

So, going to the ninja academy was Naruto's only chance to come into contact with Chakra.

He returned to the sink and carefully washed the dishes.

Then he took out a set of black clothes from the wardrobe and changed into them.

Naruto's taste in clothing remained the same as it had been in his previous life.

The clothes in his wardrobe were either black or white.

Simple was the whole point.

Looking at himself in the mirror, he was now vastly different from Naruto in the original work.

For convenience, Naruto had kept his hair short since childhood, similar to the Seventh Hokage.

He was also much taller than Naruto had been at this age in the original work.

Naruto remembered that he and Sasuke were supposed to be around the same age.

Yet Sasuke in the original work had been much taller than Naruto.

It was probably all due to long-term malnutrition.

That made him want to complain about that old Third Hokage.

If he had not had the system, eating meat and fish every day and never missing milk or eggs at any meal...

If he had really relied on the little money that old Third Hokage sent over each time...

He would probably have starved to death long ago. His situation would have been even worse than Naruto's in the original work.

Putting on his mask, Naruto checked the time—it was eight-thirty at night.

With a slight nod, Naruto began today's after-dinner exercise.

Late at night, Konoha was silent and empty. Only the Streetlights and the moths circling their glow kept Naruto company.

Konoha was nothing like his previous life, with its brightly lit streets and rich nightlife.

Once it was past eight, everyone had more or less turned out the lights and gone to rest.

The only entertainment left was making little people.

Whenever Naruto came outside at this hour, he could never find a single person.

As for the Third Hokage's rumor about the reincarnation of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox...

Because Naruto had barely appeared before the Villagers these past few years,

Everyone had begun to suspect that the story was specially made up to scare children at home.

No one took it seriously at all.

Even if Naruto stood right in front of them now, the Villagers might not recognize him as that little brat from back then.

The Third Hokage's rumor had thus been quietly defused by Naruto.

After running for about half an hour, Naruto returned home, took a shower, and climbed back into bed.

His consciousness then entered the Sealing Space.

The moment he entered, he saw Kurama sleeping with its head resting on its forelegs.

Naruto walked to the open space in front of the villa, measured the distance on both sides, then pulled out a Space Gate.

Kurama secretly opened its eyes a crack.

It still looked as though it were sound asleep.

It wanted to see what this brat was going to come up with today.

The moment the Space Gate was pulled out, it quickly formed a large purple cocoon on the ground, glowing with a soft violet light.

Naruto looked at the Space Gate before him and subconsciously swallowed.

After all, it was his first time trying it, so he was still somewhat nervous.

But then he remembered that he was inside the Sealing Space. Even if something went wrong, he would only be kicked out.

So he shut his eyes, gritted his teeth, and plunged headfirst into the Purple Light Cocoon.

The next moment, a Purple Light Cocoon abruptly opened beside a golden wheat field, and Naruto emerged from it.

"Yeah! It worked!"

Naruto jumped up and pumped his fist, looking utterly delighted.

When he entered the Space Gate earlier, the place he had imagined was the edge of the wheat field.

If that was the case...

Did that mean that as long as he thought of where he wanted to go, he could use the Space Gate to reach it?

Wasn't that a roundabout form of Space-Time Ninjutsu?

With his first attempt succeeding, Naruto gradually grew bolder.

He began testing the limits of the Space Gate as well.

Kurama in the cage stared with its eyes wide open.

What kind of bizarre ability did this brat have?!

Within the Sealing Space, Naruto's figure flickered continuously, appearing by the river one moment and beside the orchard the next.

Every flash of purple light brought forth a Yellow-haired brat.

Later, for the thrill of it, Naruto even tried teleporting into the air.

The moment he appeared in the sky, he threw out another Space Gate and repeated the cycle again and again.

Naruto had even turned the Space Gate into a method of aerial teleportation.
