READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 13: Again Timeskip
Two years flew by, and now it was finally time to attend the Ninja Academy. Given my current strength, I knew I could easily join the Anbu under the Hokage's command if I wanted to. My abilities were already far beyond what most academy students could dream of. But the thought of serving under that old geezer? No way. Being bound to protect him and follow his orders wasn't exactly appealing.
Nah, spending my time in the Academy, blending in with the students, and keeping a low profile sounded way more fun. There was no rush to graduate early or rise through the ranks just yet. I'd have more freedom to train, hone my skills, and build connections—and maybe even stir up some trouble along the way. The Academy was just another step in my plan, and for now, that suited me just fine.
I'm already quite well-known in the village, not just because I'm the son of the late Hokage, but also for my good looks. I must've inherited this from my parents, who were famously known as one of the most beautiful couples, second only to Naruto and Hinata in the Narutoverse. I'm definitely not going to let that fame go to waste. It's time to focus on getting closer to the girls who are likely going to be my future wives.
What better place to build those romantic connections than the Academy? I'm already close to Hinata, Sakura, Ino, and even Tenten, thanks to visiting her shop for ninja tools. But I haven't quite reached the point where we can officially become couples. I can tell they like me, and I like them too—I just need to make that final push to turn these bonds into something deeper.
Hinata will take a bit more time due to her shy personality, but that's not a problem. Sakura and Ino, as expected, are more aggressive when it comes to getting attention, just like in the original timeline, except this time, I'm the one they're fighting for, not Sasuke. Tenten is different; she doesn't seek attention like the other two and isn't shy, but she'll take some time to warm up romantically.
I've already set my sights on capturing the hearts of all four before graduation. This is one of the main reasons I'm attending the Academy—not just to sharpen my skills but to cultivate deeper relationships. Once the bonds are solidified, nothing will stop me from making them my future wives.
One of my primary concerns is getting closer to Kurenai. I've had a few opportunities to meet her, mainly because she and Kakashi are both Jonin. While we've crossed paths a few times, I know that if I don't act soon, Asuma will likely end up winning her heart. In the original Naruto series, Kurenai and Asuma grew close, eventually becoming lovers during the timeskip. This gives me a limited window to build a meaningful connection with her before graduation.
Winning a woman's heart is never easy, and I realize there's no shortcut to achieving this. I need to work on developing our relationship carefully and strategically. Luckily, there's still time, and I already have a plan to get close to her. By asking her to teach me genjutsu, I can form a bond. After all, aside from the Uchiha clan, she's considered one of the most skilled genjutsu users in the village.
Looking ahead, I'm aware that Danzo will soon make his move to suppress or even destroy the Uchiha clan. Once that happens, I'll have a chance to support Kurenai and strengthen our bond. In the meantime, I've devised a way to help the Uchiha clan during this critical time. But for now, I need to focus on the upcoming academy examination and continue working on my plans.
With my stats nearing Kage level, I'm in a prime position to make significant moves.

Thanks to my training with Tsunade, both my ninjutsu skills and chakra levels have significantly increased. However, I still lag behind in genjutsu and fuinjutsu, which I am now focusing on with my mom's guidance. Mastering these arts is crucial, especially if I want to access forbidden techniques from the Hokage Tower's hidden hall in the coming years. Sure, I could purchase them from the shop, but where's the thrill in that?
Additionally, I've developed multiple kekkei genkai, but wood release still eludes me. Even with my sage body, I haven't quite far from it yet, though I know I'll get there eventually.For that, I also need to increase my affinity with water, but here there aren't many who use water style. For now, I only rely on the shop to buy kekkei genkai techniques, since they are rare and nearly impossible to find in the village. While attending the academy, my focus remains on learning fuinjutsu with my mom to further improve my versatility.
