Outside.
The Anbu captain in charge of monitoring gave a few instructions to the other team members, then began writing today's monitoring report.
After finishing the report, the Anbu captain went to the Hokage's office. He handed over the day's record to the Hokage and then left, returning to monitor Naruto.
These were routine reports, submitted almost every day.
Hokage's office.
The Third Hokage was smoking his pipe, casually flipping through today's monitoring report. After reading so many reports over the years, he was a little tired of it.
But he was curious about Naruto buying hair dye. "Does this kid want to dye his hair?"
The Third Hokage murmured to himself, taking out a surveillance crystal ball. He prepared to use the Telescopic Technique to observe Naruto's situation.
With the surge of Chakra, Naruto's figure gradually appeared in the crystal ball. He saw Naruto sitting cross-legged and the general surroundings.
"Is he training in Chakra extraction? Finally showing some ambition."
The Third Hokage nodded as he watched the scene within the crystal ball. But when he saw a bit of black hair on Naruto's head, he shook his head again.
"He's still a child, playing with hair dye." The Third Hokage looked at the hair with a speechless expression, then looked at the hair dye in the room. He felt Naruto was really just a child.
"Forget it, he'll be graduating from the academy soon. I'll send someone to teach him properly then." The Third Hokage closed the crystal ball and stopped watching Naruto.
And just as the Third Hokage closed the crystal ball, Naruto, who was sitting cross-legged at home, suddenly opened his eyes.
Taking a deep breath, Naruto's heart was filled with surprise. Because he had just clearly felt a sense of being spied upon, a feeling he hadn't noticed before.
After obtaining five drops of Saiyan blood, he gained this ability. Even when the feeling of being watched disappeared, he could clearly sense it, which finally confirmed the extraordinary nature of the Saiyan blood to Naruto.
But now, there was a question that puzzled Naruto: How does Saiyan blood improve? What level must one reach to become a true Saiyan?
For example, in Dragon Ball, Son Goku is a pure Saiyan; all his blood is Saiyan blood. If that were the case, then Naruto would need far too much blood to reach that level.
"No, it definitely doesn't need that much blood. This blood should be similar to essence blood. I think that after reaching a certain level, it might directly form a bloodline and then instantly change the other blood in my body, completely turning me into a Saiyan."
Naruto muttered to himself, simultaneously opening the Saiyan shop to check the locked features.
He didn't know what these features were used for. Even their names were locked, and he couldn't see anything, which made Naruto furrow his brows. He was also very curious about the effects of these features.
"Forget it, let's continue trying to sense the Ki in the blood. Although my body is in the world of Naruto, the Saiyan blood can definitely guide the Ki out. With Ki, I can cultivate more abilities, like Bukujutsu."
Naruto thought of the Bukujutsu that allowed one to fly in the sky. His eyes lit up with anticipation. The effect of Bukujutsu absolutely surpassed the flying ninjas in the world of Naruto, making it an excellent flying ability.
If he could successfully guide his qi for cultivation, he would experience a qualitative leap. Considering this, he closed his eyes and once again immersed himself in guiding the qi.
The next morning, the sun shone brightly upon the earth, bringing vitality to everything.
Naruto got up early and, after getting dressed, stepped out of his house.
The moment he walked out the door, he easily sensed four sets of prying eyes, which were clearly the Anbu's surveillance.
Ignoring the Anbu's monitoring, Naruto continued walking, step by step in the morning sunlight and the gentle breeze.
Not long after.
Naruto arrived at the entrance of the Ninja Academy, frowning inwardly as he watched the students entering.
Because he had encountered many people along the way, but there were no experience orbs around them, which made Naruto somewhat worried about gaining experience points.
Teng teng teng teng teng!
The sound of heavy footsteps came from behind. Naruto turned his head and saw Sakura and Ino walking quickly side by side.
These two were not giving way to each other as they walked, pushing and shoving each other forward, like two wild ponies refusing to yield.
Naruto's eyes lit up when he saw them, because both of them had blue experience orbs around their bodies, but one was bigger and the other was smaller.
Ino's experience orb was relatively small, but Sakura's was different. Her experience orb was almost the same as Hinata's, and even slightly more than the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's.
This result made Naruto very surprised, and at the same time, he became more certain of his thoughts.
In the anime Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and Hinata were all very important characters in the story, while Ino was slightly less important in comparison.
It made sense that Ino's experience orb was smaller. Naruto also understood roughly what was going on, and knew what he should do next.
"Naruto, get out of the way, you're blocking the path."
Sakura's loud voice rang out. She was in the middle of a race with Ino and was rushing over. It seemed that Naruto's position slightly blocked her path, causing her to shout directly.
[Experience +1]
Naruto frowned slightly upon hearing Sakura's voice. His position wasn't really blocking her; it was only a minor obstruction at most, yet he received a loud scolding from Sakura.
This made Naruto abandon his previous plan of interacting with them – in other words, earning experience. Instead, as Sakura and Ino got closer, he suddenly took a step to the left.
Bang! "Ah!"
Sakura sat down on the ground with a thud, covering her forehead and glaring at Naruto. "Naruto, why did you block my path?"
[Experience +1]
"Is this your path? Do you have the deed to this road?" Naruto asked directly.
"Me"
Sakura was speechless, unable to respond after being directly rebuked by Naruto.
[Experience +1]
"See, you can't say anything, can you? Don't always think about yourself; that's too selfish." Naruto continued, clearly intending to provoke.
"Hmph!"
Sakura was a little angry, but she didn't know how to retort, so she simply huffed and raised her head.
[Experience +1]
"What good is hmphing? With your shrewish personality, you're far inferior to Ino." Naruto said, glancing at Ino beside him.
"Naruto, thank you for the compliment," Ino said, a little embarrassed but very happy.
[Experience +1]
"Who says I'm not as good as Ino-pig? I'm way better than her," Sakura shouted, unconvinced.
[Experience +1]
"Nonsense, you forehead, how could you possibly be better than me?"
"Bad-pig!"
"Forehead!"
[Experience +1]
[Experience +1]
The constant experience notifications made Naruto's eyes shine, and he also understood more ways to gain experience.
His mind raced, thinking about how to gain experience in the future.
"Hey, Naruto, did you dye your hair? You seem to have gotten more handsome." Ino suddenly said to Naruto.
[Experience +1]
"Handsome? He's still the same."
Sakura grumbled angrily, but felt that Naruto did seem to have more style after dyeing his hair.
[Experience +1]
They didn't notice that Naruto's face had become more defined and angular, a result of his Saiyan bloodline.
