"Of course, not only do I want to be stronger than you, but I also want to be stronger than everyone else. I want to become Hokage."

"Sigh… You are still going on about that. Anyway, I have a way to increase our power by a lot."

His eyes started to shine when he heard my voice.

I continued. "Have you heard of chakra?"

He shook his head.

"Let's just say, it is a type of energy which is present in nature as well as in our body. It's the most important weapon and the best life-saving tool for a shinobi."

"How do I get it?"

"There is a Chakra pool which stores chakra inside your body and there are also chakra veins all over your body. For now, you just need to sense them and feel the moment of the chakra inside your body."

Naruto and I sat crossed leg and tried to sense our chakra.

After about 3 hours Naruto started calling me.

"Ruki! Ruki! I felt it. I felt some wired power inside me."

I looked at him as if I was looking at a monster, It took him just 3 hours to sense chakra, while I have been trying to do it for years.

'Sigh, I guess that's the difference between someone who has the talent and someone who doesn't.'

"Congrats Naruto, now try to control the flow of chakra."

After about 4 more hours I was finally able to sense a little thread of chakra moving inside me. I wanted to jump up in happiness, but I needed to focus more.

I followed the flow of chakra and found my chakra pool. The chakra inside my chakra pool was weak and almost non-existent.

'Sigh, I guess it's better than nothing.'

I opened my eyes and saw Naruto was still trying to control his chakra.

"Naruto, let's go get some food. We will practice chakra control from tomorrow onwards."

After eating some food Naruto went back to his place. I planned on entering the academy a year and a half later along with Naruto and the others.

But I have not told my family about my plans. No one in my family tree was a shinobi. So my parents have never considered me being the first Shinobi of our family.

Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

They probably think I will become a farmer just like my father. I mean they are not technically wrong cause if my consciousness was not transferred into the kid's body, he would probably grow up to become a farmer.

So, I plan on informing them about my plans right now.

I went to their room and knocked in their room.

*knock knock* "Mom, Dad can I come in?"

"Yes dear, you come in."

"What happened son, whenever you are home, you usually just spend your time locked inside your room."

"Mom, dad I want to talk about something."

"What is it, dear?"

"I want to be a shinobi, I will join the Ninja Academy a year and a half later along with Naruto."

Both my parents were surprised when I said that. Mom came near me and caressed my hair.

"Dear it's admirable that you want to be a shinobi but our family is not suitable to become a shinobi. Our family has the worst talent even when compared to other civilians. So it's very hard for us to become a capable shinobi."

"Besides, being a farmer is not bad. Your father and grandparents were both were farmers and we have been living a happy life."

"No, mom you don't understand. I have already awakened my chakra. I just wanted to inform you that because from now on I might go out to train for a couple of days. So, I don't want you guys to be worried about me."

"What! How did you awaken your chakra?"

I smiled "I guess I am lucky."

Dad laughed when he heard me. "Haha, good son, you have made you old man proud. If you can become a capable Shinobi it will be the greatest honor for our family. So, I will wholeheartedly support you."

Mom was a bit worried about my safety but dad and I managed to convince her to let me follow the path of becoming a shinobi.

A day passed. Today, I decided to go to Naruto's place. I picked up some leaves on the way to train our chakra control.

*knock knock* "Naruto, it's me Ruki."

Naruto opened the door and invited me in.

I entered his room and handed him a leaf.

"Why are you giving me this leaf?"

"Place it on your forehead, and use your chakra to make sure it sticks to your head."

"And how do I do that?"

"Direct your chakra to the leaf and hold it in place."

After about an hour, Naruto was able to make the leaf stick to his head while I needed 5 hours to do the same thing. During those 5 hours, my chakra ran out 5 times.

But thanks to my regeneration ability my chakra was restored relatively fast. Each time my chakra pool got drained and refilled, it's size increased by a little.

After training chakra control for 5 hours, we got quite hungry so we went and grabbed some food. Naruto was insanely happy today because he found something that he was better at than me.

"Hey, Ruki"

"What is it Naruto."

"Don't worry, I know you are weak and bad shinobi but you can rely on me, I will always help you. After all, I am now stronger than you. So, don't feel shy to ask for my help."

The veins on my forehead popped up when I heard him.

"Since you are so strong, how about we spar for a bit so that you could give me some pointers."

Naruto's face paled when I challenged him to spar. This was not the first time we sparred. We sparred quite often to make sure we were prepared for a real fight.

And as you can guess, I would whoop Naruto's ass during the sparring matches.

"Ahh... My stomach started to hurt all of a sudden. Let's postponed our sparring match, I will spar with you some other day."

I was not having any of it and started beating his ass. After one minute, Naruto was laying on the ground with a black eye and bumps on his head.

"Bastard, just you wait, once I get stronger than you, I will pay you back tenfolds."

"I will be waiting."
