NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 11: New Status
At the age of two, I decided to reveal a fraction of my abilities to my mother, . Though I had been able to sense chakra from the moment of my rebirth, i knew that showing too much power too early might cause unnecessary attention and concerns. For two years, i held back, carefully hiding the full extent of my capabilities by living a life of a normal kid.
When the time finally came, I approached Mom one evening. "Mom, I think I can sense things... like people and their chakra," he said softly, trying not to alarm her.
Mom, initially surprised, quickly smiled at me. "Oh, my little Naruto, you're full of surprises. You're so young, yet you're already able to sense chakra. That's amazing!"
I smiled back, glad that she took it so well. He had shown just enough to impress her without raising too many questions. He thought to himself, *If only she knew how much more I can do... But for now, I'll keep that part hidden.*
Mom placed her hand on my shoulder. "You know, being able to sense chakra is a powerful ability. It's something that will help you in the future. But you must be careful with how you use it, Naruto. Sensing can reveal a lot about people, and sometimes knowing too much can be a burden."
"I understand, Mom," I replied, nodding seriously. "I'll be careful. I just wanted to show you because I trust you."
Mom smiled warmly, pulling me into a hug. "You're growing up so fast, Naruto. I'm proud of you."
I felt the warmth of her embrace, and in that moment, i resolved to continue playing my part, only revealing my abilities when necessary. For now, my journey was still just beginning, and there was much to prepare for in the years to come.
For the past two years, I have diligently trained in the jutsu my mother passed down, while Aurora continuously assigned me daily quests to push my limits. The quests were simple but effective in building my strength and stamina, such as running 1 kilometer, doing 10 pushups, and completing 10 squats, with the reward of a four stat point. Other quests encouraged me to develop my skills independently, like learning new jutsu, which earned me two stat points. Through this rigorous regime, my abilities have grown significantly.
"Aurora, show me my status," I requested.
"Here it is, Leo," Aurora responded.

As I reviewed my stats, I couldn't help but analyze my current power level. With these attributes, I could likely stand my ground against tokubetsu or even an average jonin jonin. However, this is not enough. I have three more years, and in that time, I must rise to Kage level. The path ahead will demand more training, sharper skills, and deeper mastery of my jutsu. I cannot afford to fall short.
During my training, mom decided to test my chakra nature affinities using the leaf test, just like the original Naruto. To her surprise,she discovered that I had an affinity for all seven chakra natures. With the guidance of my mother, Kakashi, and the Uchiha clan, I focused on improving my control over Fire and Lightning. Since the original Naruto only had a natural Wind affinity, I made sure to dedicate significant time to mastering Wind as well. After reaching 50% proficiency, I pushed myself further, aiming to unlock a kekkei genkai.
Thanks to my Kagura Mind's Eye, I was able to blend different chakra natures, resulting in the development of not one, but three unique kekkei genkai. I kept this a secret, even from my mother, choosing to hide my new abilities for the time being. While I have only learned basic jutsu for each nature, these kekkei genkai will be my trump card in the inevitable battle against Danzo in three years. He won't see it coming.
For now, I can put thoughts of him aside. I have a plan for how to deal with him when the time comes. My focus needs to stay on my training. The next step is asking Tsunade to teach me medical ninjutsu—it will be a crucial addition to my skillset.
In addition to mastering Fire, Lightning, and Wind, I realized I needed to strengthen my affinities with the other chakra natures as well. Balancing all seven elements would give me an edge in versatility, allowing me to adapt to any situation in combat.
In addition to my elemental training, I made sure to master the basic jutsu required for graduation from the Academy. I successfully learned the Clone, Substitution, and Transformation jutsu—fundamental techniques every shinobi must know. These skills, while basic, are the foundation of any successful ninja, and mastering them has significantly improved my overall versatility in battle.
Moreover, with the help of Shisui-san, I began training in the Body Flicker Technique. While I haven't yet perfected it, I'm nearing an advanced level of mastery. This technique, known for its speed and agility, will be a powerful asset in both offense and defense once I refine it further. The ability to move swiftly across the battlefield will give me a significant advantage, especially when combined with the other techniques and chakra nature affinities I've developed. Every improvement brings me closer to my goal.
