A.N. I am sorry for this delay guys, but as I said before that this is my first time writing something so I can't force myself to write whenever I want to. I can only write when I am in the mood. So, you will have to bear with irregular updates.

Chapter 3

Everyday Schedule

A few months have passed since the Academy started and our protagonist took original naruto's place. Many things happened during these months. For one, the Academy started the physical training of students like kunai-shuriken throwing, taijutsu stance training and body strengthening exercises like running laps, etc. Our hero took the training seriously knowing that he had to be stronger than most to face the trials that are gonna come his way.

His daily schedule was something like this. He woke at about 5 in the morning, did his morning business and yoga before going to academy. In the academy he sat with sasuke everyday and played around with his group of 5, sasuke, kiba, shikamaru, choji and himself. At first, he thought it would be weird for him to play with kids as he was an adult mentally, but his naruto part that badly wanted to have friends no matter who and what they were, ensured that wouldn't happen. After academy, he would go to Ichiraku's to eat and spend some time with the kind family. He would then talk to kyuubi about his day and whatever else that came to his mind after returning to his apartment. In the evening he would go to run laps around the village and train in the training grounds that were present all around the village. After returning from his laps, he would rest for a while, do his homework, have dinner and then finally get some sleep.

When he wasn't training he was reading. He read all the books relating to chakra that he had in his possession. Things like maths, physics and like he didn't need to read cause he knew them already. While history, languages and like he read in class with everyone else.

In one of the training grounds he went to train, he met the training enthusiast and the upcoming green beast of Konoha, Rock Lee. He was his senior by one year. Rock Lee was training his body so that he could become a ninja that solely focuses on taijutsu, as he found out that his chakra coils were undeveloped and because of that he couldn't use ninjutsu or genjutsu. After meeting Lee, they quickly became friends and started training together. Naruto asked Lee to bring all the books he had on anything chakra related and on how to train one's body without stunting growth.

After reading all those he found out that there were many similarities in the body cultivation methods of naruto world and in those of MW (Martial World) and TMW (True Martial World). But here they would stop after training and strengthening their muscles and organs, which was about the time they would become genin (except geniuses like itachi and kakashi), and skip to chakra cultivation or the eight gates if someone wants to go that way. They didn't strengthen their bones, blood, bone marrow, etc. That's also the reason why the eight gates can only be opened for a short period of time, that too with great difficulty and why opening the eighth gate means certain death as the strain it produces on body is enormous. He also wondered whether the reason why Uzumakis had such strong body and enormous chakra was related to this. Maybe they had superior body strengthening techniques than the rest of the Elemental Nations.

Of course, he didn't learn that much from reading a second year academy student's book. All he read in those books was general introduction of the eight gates and that it was a forbidden method. But knowing all that he knew from anime and manga, he could form this hypothesis of his. He was going to check if body cultivation of MW and TMW was possible here or not. And who better to check it with other than the genius of hard work, Rock Lee. And since Lee was a very simple boy, Naruto was confident that he could convince Lee to deviate from the common path when the time came.

They started strengthening their body with traditional methods like running, resistance training, etc. It was going well all things considered. Although they were far from progressing at the speed of geniuses, they were progressing at a steady speed.

That was all that happened relating to Naruto's body training. As for his chakra related studies. He understood the basics. Different flow of chakra produces different effects. This is the basic concept of almost every jutsu, whether ninjutsu or genjutsu, other than those that depend only on chakra manipulation like Rasengan, Chidori or those genjutsu which depend on visual effects instead of chakra. But the flow of chakra inside human body is limited to a total of 12 ways and they are controlled by the 12 hand signs/seals. Different combinations and permutations of these 12 ways of flow of chakra and the different results they produce are known as Jutsu.

To overcome this barrier of limit of 12 ways of flow of chakra the ink seals were given birth. By using ink as medium for changing the flow of chakra, there were infinite possibilities and as a result infinite effects. The studying of ink seals and their effects, discovering new seals and storing them for use of the next generation is known as fuinjutsu. The Uzumaki clan had the richest archives about knowledge of seals and fuinjutsu. That was so because as they had large amount of chakra, control was a problem for most of them, that's why they focused their efforts into fuinjutsu to compensate for that.

Naruto understood the concept easily enough, but the problem lied in execution as finding or creating a stable seal was very difficult as most combinations led to premature explosion instead of desired effect. That's why very few people knew the art of fuinjutsu and the reason seal masters are so rare.

And that's how Naruto spent these few months in this new world, learning new and exciting things that he could never learn in his previous life.

Currently, Naruto was walking towards Hokage tower to get his monthly expenditure from Hokage. He just finished his training with Lee, which meant it was late in the evening. He found it odd that the Hokage himself gave him that, but he shrugged his shoulders thinking that him being who he was is the reason for that.

After arriving, he walked up the stairs to the top floor and past the secretary desk, to Hokage's office. Since, it was late evening, only hokage was in there fighting his lifelong enemy as hokage, you guessed it, paperwork. Naruto walked in without knocking as that's how naruto normally entered any room. He said," Hey, old man. I am here for my expenditure."

The old man, as Naruto put it, took out the envelope with money inside from under the desk and while handing it to Naruto, said," Ah, Naruto-kun, you are quite late today. I was beginning to wonder that you forgot about this."

" Sorry about that old man, today's training session went longer than usual." Naruto answered while taking the money and putting it in his shorts' pocket.

" I can certainly see that you are working very hard, naruto-kun. It makes me pleased that you are so serious about your ninja training, unlike most students in your class." Hokage said, noticing the worn out clothes and dust on his body.

Naruto was wearing a half-sleeved black T-shirt and green shorts. He also had a locket around his neck which looked like the Uzumaki clan symbol from what he could remember. He couldn't open it. He found it his drawer where the original kept his clothes. From original's memories, he knew that original always had it with him, meaning he had it from when he was a baby or even when he was born. Figuring that whoever gave him that locket might have been his parents, he always wore after finding it.

" Thanks old man. Hey, can I ask you for something?" Naruto asked while sitting down in one of the chair placed in front of the Hokage's desk, opposite of Hokage's chair.

The old man stopped doing his paperwork to focus on Naruto and replied," Sure Naruto-kun, what do you want?"

" I have already finished reading everything chakra related in my years study material, and I want to read more of it. And since you are the Hokage, I was wondering if you could grant me access to the academy library so I can read further?" Naruto answered.

The old man shook his head and said," I am afraid that I can't do that, Naruto-kun. As you might know, academy library contains the study material of 3rd year students up to last year students. Since, you are a 1st year student, I can't allow you the access to the library."

Naruto insisted," But, I have already finished reading 2nd year syllabus. And I can't wait for 2 years before I read further."

The Hokage was surprised after knowing that. He asked," How did you do that? Where did you find the books for that?"

Naruto shrugged his shoulders and said," I read it from Lee's book, my training partner. He is a 2nd year student. We train together in the evening. I asked him to lend me his books and he agreed."

" Oh, I didn't know you had found a training partner, Naruto-kun." Hiruzen said curiously. He sighed while nodding his head and said," Ok, I might grant you access to the library if you answer all my questions correctly and prove to me that you have learnt everything that is there to learn in the 1st and 2nd year syllabus."

" Sure, old man. I'll answer every question that you will throw my way, just bring it on, dattebayo." Naruto replied while grinning confidently.

After that Naruto correctly answered all the questions that the Hokage asked him. The Hokage was really surprised that Naruto really knew everything. He said," I am honestly very surprised, Naruto-kun. I actually didn't think that you would answer all my questions that effortlessly. Now, this is the last question."

" Why do you want to study this? From what I know of you, I thought that if you finished your study earlier than rest of the students in your class you will just sit back and relax until the rest catch up and the next year started. So tell me why?" Hiruzen asked while looking into Naruto's eyes.

" Because I am fascinated by this knowledge, so I want to know more about it. And the other reason is that I want to help Lee. You see, he just found out that his chakra network is a little messed up, so he can't perform ninjutsu or genjutsu except a few low level one's. So everyone is saying that he can't become a ninja. But, he doesn't want to admit defeat. He works harder than anyone else so that he can become a ninja who relies only on his taijutsu. He is my friend, that's why I want to help him." Naruto answered seriously.

" I know about that boy. But even the most incredible of doctors couldn't help him. So, I am a little curious to know why do you think that you, little boy, can help him with his chakra network problem?" Hiruzen asked.

" I am saying that I will help him with his chakra network problem. I am saying that I can help him in becoming a strong taijutsu specialist ninja. I think I found a way to strengthen your body further than what is considered normal for a shinobi." Naruto answered.

The hokage was a little surprised hearing that, but then he said" Oh, I am a little interested in this new body strengthening method of yours. Do tell me about it."

Naruto told his theory to the Hokage, there were a few points where naruto was wrong and the old man had to correct him, but he was very impressed with naruto's insight and this method of his.

" Ok, Naruto-kun, you have impressed me very much today. I will give you this letter, show this to the librarian and you will be allowed full access to the library." He said, while handing naruto a letter with hokage's seal on it. He continued, " If you have any doubts that your teachers can't help you with, then you can come to me, alright? I am not called 'The Professor' for nothing. And this method of yours does show some promise, I am interested in seeing what you will come up with when you have finished your research."

After that Naruto took his leave. While smiling fondly and watching Naruto leave the office, the Hokage thought to himself,' It seems like naruto inherited his father's prodigious mind and his mother's great heart. If you were here, I am sure you would be proud of him, Kushina, Minato it seems like your son will grow up to become a great man, its unfortunate that you are not here to witness that happen.'

A.N. And that's it for this chapter. I'll try to update more often but can't promise anything. Anyways tell how did you like this chapter, well there wasn't anything much into it. I know that the story is going slow but as I have already said before I am new to writing and all, so bear with me untill I gain experience and become better at writing.
