"Could it be a chakra trol issue? Or a matter of quantity?" Naruto scratched the back of his head, muttering in frustration.

  He couldn't quite figure it out. If it were a chakra trol issue, it didn't make sense. Both e Jutsu and Transformation Jutsu were part of the same category as Multi e Jutsu. There was no reason why trolling the tter should be more challenging. In faaruto thought that Transformation Jutsu was the most difficult among the three si required precise timing and sideration of the objects being transformed into.

  Furthermore, chakra quantity shouldn't be an issue. Naruto had never heard of Multi e Jutsu requiring a specific chakra amount for trol. It wasn't an advanced jutsu; it should work as long as one had enough chakra. Naruto had experimented with different chakra levels, but nothing seemed to work. Even after sulting Iruka and trying various approaches, he was still stu this awkward situation.

  Iruka, who had seen Naruto's attempts at using Multi e Jutsu, was equally perplexed. e and Transformation Jutsu were w perfectly fine. But why was Multi e Jutsu causing so much trouble?

  There was no clear answer. All Iruka could do was offer words of encement and tell Naruto to keep trying. After all, Naruto was only in his sed year at the academy, and he had over four years until graduation. There was o rush.

  Naruto sighed, looking at his imperfect es created with Multie Jutsu. "Well, at least I've made some progress. I barely tell it's me now. That's something, right?"

  Releasing the jutsu once again, he couldn't help but feel frustrated. He was uo find a reason for his struggles with Multi e Jutsu. It was as if there was a bug ieique.

  "Ah, well, let's call it a day," Naruto decided. He watched the suing in the distand stretched his tired body. After gathering his belongings and the wild vegetables he had collected earlier, he headed back towards the forest's edge, ready to return home.

  "I o adjust my training pn," he thought aloud. "I tinue practig Multi e Jutsu for a while, but I shouldn't waste too much time on it. The focus should be on improving my physical abilities. I'm running out of kunai, too. I should ask Iruka-sensei for more tomorrow. Ah, I'm so tired..."

  As the sun sank lower, casting a final golden glow across the nd, Naruto walked home. When he arrived, he had a simple dinner and took a short break before sitting down at his desk with his textbooks.

  Daytime was for training, and nighttime was for studying—this had been Naruto's routine for the past year. He not only learhe tent taught in css but also read various books reted to ninja, jutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu. Thanks to Iruka, he had easy access to these resources. However, Iruka occasionally reminded Naruto not to bite off more than he could chew and to focus on quality over quantity.

  Naruto's enthusiasm for learning was something Iruka appreciated. The more time they spent together, the closer their bond became. Iruka, once wary of Naruto's status as the Jinchuriki of the ails, had grown to see Naruto as an individual and not just a vessel. Naruto's resiliend determination had won Iruka's admiration.

  Iruka was also more ied in Naruto's future. While Naruto's progress exceeded Iruka's expectations in many areas, some insistencies due to Naruto's self-taught approach led to misjudgments. Still, Naruto's eagero learn was endable.

  After studying for hours, Naruto stretched his neck, feeling a bit sore. He noticed the time on the clock.

  "Ah... Is it this te already?" He yawned. "I have to wake up early tomorrow. Time for bed."

  Naruto closed his textbooks, stood up, and walked to the bathroom. After a quick shower, he went to bed. Within moments, he fell into a deep sleep.

  However, this night would be unlike any other. An ued event was about to disrupt Naruto's peaceful slumber.

  "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

  A sudden explosion reverberated through the sky above Konoha. Fmes shot up into the heavens, creating a bzing opy of light that shattered the vilge's tranquility.

  The deafening roar, the gring firelight, and the faint sounds of battle filled the night. Naruto, who had been peacefully asleep moments ago, was now wide awake.

  Startled, Naruto quickly got out of bed and rushed to the window. His eyes widened as he looked toward the northwest er of Konoha, where the raging inferno cast an eerie glow across the vilge.

  "That dire... If I'm not mistaken, it's the Uchiha 's pound, right? Such a massive fire... Could this be the Night of the Uchiha 's Massacre? The timing matches."

  Naruto o himself, but then a sense of unease washed over him. There was something that didn't add up.

  Although he couldn't recall all the details of the events from his previous life, there was a discrepancy.
