Chapter 9: Starting from the Scratch
After leaving the hokage office naruto went to the location of his father house. its in the middle of a forest which is far from the local villagers houses.
In the dense heart of the forest, naruto discovered a secluded house. Covered in vines and partially hidden beneath the shade of towering trees, it seemed abandoned, tucked far from the villagers—a perfect place for his training.
he goes inside the house and searches the house to find any leftovers of his father which can be usable. naruto found minato dresses, kushina dresses in wardrobe, kunais, shurikens. he take black mission gear once belonging to his father when he was a child. and then he places kunais and shurikens in his leg pocket.
as he continues to explore the house, naruto came across stacks of yellow papers and two books. Scanning through them, he realized that they were his father's research notes. On the two books. the headings are Rasengan and Flying Thunder God jutsu. However, the notes were incomplete, The Rasengan steps could take him close to the final form, but not fully there. The Flying Thunder God technique, on the other hand, required a mastery of Fuinjutsu—something he lacked but understood would be necessary. So, he wanted to practice rasengen first and placed flying thunder god technique for later after learning fuinjutsu.
Without fully searching the house, naruto left the house. naruto thought 'this whole place looks abondened and there's no one to dusturb and no one keeps tabs for me here and i can practice here my previous martial techniques for both qi and body and i will practice my heavenly demonic sword technique later after i got a good sword.'
naruto explored the forest, sprinting through paths.
While exploring forest naruto recalls there are 4 levels in demonic qi cultivation and in demonic body cultivation in his past world. and in each level there are five sub levels. to cross each sub level one has to cross a minor wall. To cross each levels one has to pass a major wall , with increase in level the wall size increases which makes it harder to cross each level.
martial techniques are from mortal demon stage, Demon adept stage, demon sovereign stage, ultimate demon stage.

Naruto was thinking now i am in first sub level in mortal demon stage in both qi and body cultivation. i need to reach peak of mortal demon stage in the both body and qi cultivation in the span of two weeks then i will grasp and know how much potential this world qi has and how much i can use my past abilities in this world.
naruto continues to explore the forest thinking what to do and how to practise and also memorizing the land marks around the forest as he got a new domain. naruto didn't know that he has been watched.
Two persons eyes are watching him since he left the house and running in the forest in a magi orb.

Meanwhile, in the hokage's office, the third hokage stood before the gathered elite shinobi. His expression was serious as he addressed them.
"As we've done each year, newly graduated students will be placed in teams of three, led by an elite shinobi," the hokage announced, holding his pipe with a thoughtful expression.
After telling that hokage undergone a private conversation with each elite member, sharing their students details and showing their team students in the magi orb. with that one by one has gone a private convorsation with hokage and now its kakashi's turn.
Kakashi raised an eyebrow, looking relaxed as usual. The orb glimmered, and he watched as the Hokage shared information about his own students. Within the orb, the students appeared one by one.
Sasuke was shown training intensely, his face etched with determination. His every move was precise and filled with the thirst for vengeance.
Naruto appeared next, sprinting through the forest with ease, scanning his surroundings and occasionally glancing over his shoulder as if cataloging every detail. the boy's newfound confidence and focus were apparent, a different Naruto than what Kakashi heard from the other elites and iruka. kakashi also had been informed about recent naruto memory accident by Iruka.
Then, there was Sakura. She stood in her room, cradling a new dress. "Oh, Sasuke…" she sighed dreamily, hugging the fabric close to her chest. Completely lost in thought, she spun around in a circle, eyes closed—only to walk straight into her bedroom wall. With a loud thud, she bounced off the wall and collapsed, a dazed expression on her face.
Kakashi and the Hokage both placed their hands over their faces, trying to hide their expressions as they watched the scene play out in silence.😅
The next morning at the academy, students gathered in the classroom, buzzing with excitement and nerves over their team assignments. Naruto entered last. This time, he walked with purpose, radiating an air of confidence, a heavenly demeanor that turned heads as he moved silently to his seat. Some girls in the class noticed the difference in him, glancing curiously at his steady walking stance and his focused gaze.
Hinata got red cheeks seeing Naruto as he walk with confidence.
Ino, noticing the new energy about him, approached him with a bright smile. "Good morning, Naruto," she greeted.
Naruto gave her a slight nod and a respectful smile, greeting her back. His calm confidence caught her off guard, but she grinned wider in response.
Seeing Ino talking to Naruto, Sakura couldn't resist butting in. "Ino, when did you start having feelings for Naruto?" she teased.
Ino rolled her eyes, crossing her arms. "Don't be silly, Forehead. Naruto's just a friend. I still have my eye on Sasuke-kun, remember?"
As they were talking, Iruka entered the room, and all attention turned to him. Clearing his throat, he began, "Today, you'll receive your team assignments. Each team will have three students and one jounin leader." The class quieted, eager to hear their placements.
Iruka continued listing the respective team members in each team, until finally, he came to Team 7. "Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno," he announced, "you three will placed in a team and your jounin leader will be Kakashi Hatake."
Hearing the announcement, sakura's face immediately fell. Her daydreams were shattered by the realization that naruto would be sitting right between her and sasuke. Sasuke, meanwhile, remained calm, casting a side glance at naruto, who sat with his eyes closed, a faint smirk playing on his lips.
As naruto sensed sasuke's gaze, he opened his eyes briefly, looking back at him with a cool, assessing expression before closing them again. He could feel the tension from Sasuke, but he welcomed it—this was only the beginning of his journey.
