03) Non canon

Good morning people,

[-] I'm not gonna lie, I'm very apprehensive about this chapter and I almost didn't post it. If anyone is interested in being a Beta Reader to help me, send me a message.

[-] Based on the comments I decided to do a time-skipe.

[-] Something I'll warn you, you'll see Naruto being a little 'slower' to get results in his training. The reason is that this Naruto is still the one who hasn't graduated and has no experience as a shinobi.

[-] On the other hand, Naruto will be much stronger than the original when he confronts Zabuza and Haku.

COMMENTS:

[-]Theleverofnomer(fanfiction):

i like the idea of a time skip since it speeds up the story, but at the same time, you need to remember everything that happens in the time skip or the story will be confusing. you can always just write a montage since it goes over the important part you want to highlight.

[-]Renan:

I tried your montage idea, but I didn't like the result. That's why I chose what's in today's chapter.

[-]hshs69162(fanfiction):

what do you mean his chakra will always remain 30% of a average ninja?

[-]Renan:

In today's chapter this subject will be addressed.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Naruto jumped from the last branch of the tree, landing with a thud on the ground. His face is red, sweat running down his forehead, but his eyes shine with satisfaction. He managed to climb the tree without using his hands for the first time. A month of intense training finally gave results.

"Nice!" Naruto exclaimed, raising his arms in triumph. His orange and blue clothes are dirty with dirt and leaves, but he doesn't care. "Did you just see Grandpa?"

Sarutobi approaches, smiling proudly at Naruto. Even though a month is a long time for a gennin to complete this chakra control training, for Naruto, who is still a student and has such an abundant chakra reserve, mastering this exercise in that time is an impressive feat.

"Congratulations, Naruto!" Sarutobi exclaims, his eyes shining with a mixture of surprise and delight. "That's a huge step. Chakra control is the foundation of everything a ninja does."

Still panting, the young man smiles back.

"Thanks, Gramps! I couldn't have done this without your help."

Sarutobi places a firm hand on Naruto's shoulder.

"Remember, control is key. Don't let the brute force within you dominate you."

Naruto nods, his smile turning into an expression of determination.

"Now sit down." Says the Hokage "We need to move on to the next step of your chakra control training."

Sarutobi's words send a cold shower to Naruto's mood, and he decides to ask.

"Why can't I go train with Saruhiko?" Says Naruto looking at the ground.

Sarutobi sighs, placing a hand on Naruto's shoulder, his gaze firm but understanding.

"Saruhiko has already finished water walking training. He's on a different level now. We need you to focus on mastering this technique before moving forward."

Naruto takes a deep breath, trying to contain his irritation.

"But I want to train with him! He's my brother, and I know I can keep up with that monkey!"

Sarutobi shakes his head, his voice calm but firm.

"Your brother is focusing on physical training precisely to catch up to you."

Naruto looks at the ground, his fists clenched.

"What?" Naruto asks in a morbid tone.

Sarutobi smiles lightly, patting Naruto on the back.

"He was the one who refused when I offered to advance his Ninutsu training." Said the old Hokage, crossing his arms. "Saruhiko claimed that he is weak and that he needed to be in better condition to train with you."

Naruto swallowed hard and looked at the Hokage, realizing the selfishness of his complaints.

"Come on then, grandpa." Naruto begins, his voice firm. "I'm going to be stronger than that foul-mouthed ape."

Sarutobi looks at Naruto with a serious expression.

"Very well, Naruto." Sarutobi responds, uncrossing his arms. "The next stage of your training we will work on chakra control for walking on water."

Naruto nods, his fists clenched at his sides.

N:IS

While Naruto was training with the third Hokage, Saruhiko was in another training camp.

"Konoha-Senpuu!" shouts a young genin, kicking the black-haired Uzumaki in the face.

THWACK!

Saruhiko flies a few meters until he lands on his back on the ground.

"On one hand, I'm training with one of my favorite characters from the original series…" The reincarnated grumbles, getting up with a sore body. "On the other hand, I'm getting beaten more than a pandero in a pagode circle."

Saruhiko stands up, rubbing his sore jaw.

"Don't be discouraged, Saruhiko." Says Rock Lee, approaching with a wide smile. "Every day that passes, you get stronger. And besides, you have a good training partner." He concludes by pointing to himself.

Lee's positivity had the opposite effect to what was desired, making the reincarnated even angrier.

"I'd shave your head if it weren't a favor to you." Saruhiko mumbles.

"Did you say something?" Lee asks with his eyes shining. "Do you need help?"

Saruhiko looks at Lee, recognizing the sincerity in his eyes.

'It's amazing how Kishimoto made such a lame character so cool at the same time.' Thinks Saruhiko facing one of his favorite characters from the original series.

From the other side of the training field, Gai watches the scene with tears of joy in his eyes.

"And to think that my beloved disciple found someone his own age to train." He murmurs, his voice choked with emotion. "They are enjoying true youth."

Sarutobi approaches Gai, closely observing Saruhiko and Lee's training. His expression is serious, but there is a gleam of curiosity in his eyes.

"It seems that young Lee also noticed Saruhiko's abnormal growth, right?" Sarutobi asks in a low voice, without looking away from the young shinobi.

Gai turns to Sarutobi, wiping away his tears.

"Yes Hokage-sama, in his first fight he could barely move because of the weights." It mentions Gai turning to the youths who started another fight. "But now he seems comfortable with the extra load, it's like he gets stronger with each battle."

The comment didn't seem to faze the Third Hokage who just nodded in agreement, but internally he was worried about Saruhiko's strange growth.

"GET BACK HERE YOU PENIS CUT DORK!" shouted Saruhiko, frustrated from afar.

"In a fight your opponents don't stand still." Explains Lee in a calm and serene tone.

"RAAAARGH!" Roars Saruhiko, in a tone not calm or serene.

'In addition to physical strength, Saruhiko's Chakra reserves also increase.' Thinks the Hokage silently. 'They weren't enough to be noticed by other people, but the fact that they are growing is already amazing.'

Rock Lee and Saruhiko continue to fight for a few more minutes. The boy wearing green lycra had fast and precise movements while the one in black clothes was slow and amateurish. Sweat runs down Saruhiko's face, but he doesn't give up. Every time Lee moves forward, he attempts a dodge or block, always trying to find an opening.

"You're getting better, Saruhiko!" shouts Lee, his smile unwavering. "But it's still not enough!"

Saruhiko growls, frustrated, but doesn't give up. With a cry of effort, he attempts a kick to his opponent's knee, but Lee, agile as ever, dodges with ease.

"You need to be faster, Saruhiko!" Says Lee, in a tone genuinely concerned for the boy. "Speed and precision are the key to victory!"

Lee kicks Saruhiko's leg, making him fall to the side, but before he touches the ground, he spins in the air and kicks his opponent in the stomach, throwing him once again.

"SHIIIIIIT!" The boy shouts, bouncing on the floor.

Taking a deep breath, the old Hokage approaches the young people.

"Enough for today." Announces Sarutobi, his voice calm but firm. "You both trained hard. It's time to rest."

Saruhiko and Lee stop immediately. Saruhiko looks exhausted with his body covered in bruises and cuts, the result of countless falls and blows received.

"Thank you, Hokage-sama." Says Lee, bowing respectfully. "It's an honor to have you here at our training."

Maito Gai, in turn, just shows a thumbs up in agreement, only to then leave.

Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.

Sarutobi approaches Saruhiko, placing a gentle hand on his shoulder.

"You did well, Saruhiko. Your progress is remarkable." Comments the Hokage applying the mystical palm technique.

With his wounds being healed, the boy breathes a sigh of relief.

"That's my last cure for the day." The Hokage comments as Lee and Gai walk away head over heels. "Once you're done, go straight to your house."

Feeling better, Saruhiko stands up questioning.

"Why not train more now that I'm healed?"

"I think your mom doesn't want you coming home hurt." Hogake replies in a serious tone.

"Are you afraid of her?" Saruhiko asks, smiling sarcastically.

"Yes." The Hokage responds in a dry tone. "And you?"

"I'm afraid of her too." Saruhiko replies, hiding from the Hokage's gaze.

The old shinobi chuckles at the young man's sincerity as he stares at him with his eyes reflecting a mixture of curiosity and concern.

"Have you noticed anything weird with my chakra?" Saruhiko asks, his voice firm but with a hint of hesitation.

With a serene expression, the Third Hokage looks at Saruhiko. He knows that the young man must have noticed changes in his own body and chakra, and that is something he cannot ignore.

"There's nothing wrong with your chakra, Saruhiko." Hiruzen replies, his voice calm and reassuring. "Besides the fact that it's grown 14% since you started training with Lee."

Saruhiko frowns, processing the information. He knows that chakra growth is unusual, especially in such a short period of time. But the Hokage's confirmation that there's nothing wrong with his body makes him feel a little more relieved.

"I understand." Saruhiko says, nodding his head. "If he keeps growing, maybe I'll be able to train more jutsus." He finishes speaking with a forced smile.

Hiruzen places a hand on Saruhiko's shoulder, his touch firm but gentle.

"You're doing very well, Saruhiko. Your progress is remarkable, and that's something to be proud of."

Saruhiko smiles, feeling a surge of pride. He knows he has a long way to go, but the Hokage's words give him the motivation he needs to continue.

"Thanks, old man." Saruhiko says, his voice full of gratitude. "I won't disappoint."

Hiruzen sighs tiredly, shaking his head.

"You could work on your manners too, kid. I bet you'd have less trouble with your teachers."

"And what's the fun in that?" The boy responds with a cheeky smile on his face.

Without patient and also without chakra, the third Hokage's clone simply disappears.

POF!

Now alone, Saruhiko stretches to relax his body, still slightly sore from his intense day of training, and reflects on his strange growth in chakra reserves.

'Could it be my zenkai boost?' Questions Saruhiko silently thinking about his chakra increase. 'Apart from the ability to transform into an Oozaru at a full moon, I thought I had no other traits that could be similar to a Saiyan.'

The reincarnated person calmly mulls over the matter in his mind.

'Could it be possibel I have inherited other things? The ability to become a Super Saiyan, Divine Ki/Chakra, or even Ultra instinct?'

With no way to get answers, Saruhiko gives up thinking any further and takes from his pocket the list of items he had given to the Hokage. He unfolds the paper, examining each item carefully.

{List}

- Provide one or more clones to accompany us in training [V]

Saruhiko laughs to himself rereading the part of the advice the Ero sannin had commented on, the item had been put up as a joke, but he was sure Jiraiya had been serious.

"The good thing about having a Chakra reserve as small as mine is that chakra control comes easy." Saruhiko grumbles to himself. "But it's still not enough... I need to fight harder in my training with Lee to force my growth, maybe use more weights." Saruhiko comments, getting closer to home. "With the Boost, I'll be able to use Kage Bushin without fear of killing myself and then my training will accelerate."

N:IS

[This is the part I'm worried about. In the comments, tell me what you thought of this ‘panoramic’ narration of the scenario.]

The year passes quickly for Saruhiko and Naruto, with their busy training schedules with the third Hokage and still having to complete the school year at the Konoha academy.

Saruhiko always had in the back of his mind the concern that changes to the Canon would change at any moment, due to his interference in the original story with his interactions with Sarutobi, Jiraiya and the training to make Naruto stronger.

What he had no idea was that the original Canon had already been changed, at least for those who live with Konohagakure.

By assisting in the fight against Kyuubi, Saruhiko had saved more people than just Uzumaki Kushina, other shinobi and many civilians were spared. With that Konoha had quickly recovered from that night and was more prosperous than the city in the original anime.

But Saruhiko was unable to notice these differences walking around the city, as his point of view was now that of someone who inhabits this universe, not a third-person viewer.

With the end of the school year, the academy announced that it would have exhibition fights for the graduates' families and important people from the village, something that caught Saruhiko off guard, who wasn't sure if this was his influence or not.

On graduation day Iruka, with his voice firm and clear, stands in the center of the school's ceremonial arena. His eyes roam the eager faces of the young ninjas sitting on the side of the arena ready for combat and the proud parents and VIPs in the stands. He knows this moment is exciting for everyone.

"Today, we celebrate an important milestone in the lives of our future shinobi," Iruka begins, his words echoing throughout the arena. "For the training of Genins, we will hold demonstration fights. It is an opportunity for parents to see their children's progress and for students to show what they are capable of."

Naruto and Saruhiko are sitting among the other students, their hearts pounding with a mixture of nervousness and excitement. They know this is the day they can prove themselves and show how hard they have trained.

In the stands on the other side of the arena, Kushina is standing, shouting and waving frantically. His face is flushed with excitement, and his eyes shine with pride.

"GAMBATE, NARU-CHAN! SARU-CHAN!" She shouts, her voice standing out above the din of the crowd.

The brothers exchange embarrassed looks while their colleagues laugh at the situation. They know their mom is just trying to support them, but the sudden attention makes them feel a little embarrassed.

"Mom, please, you don't have to scream so much," Naruto murmurs, trying to sink into the seat.

Saruhiko, on the other hand, gives a serene smile, happy that Naruto is having a more ordinary childhood.

"She only wants the best for us," he says, trying to reassure Naruto.

Meanwhile, Iruka continues his explanation.

"The fights will be one on one. Each student will have the opportunity to show their skills and techniques. Remember, we have Jounins on standby to prevent students from getting hurt. Falling out of the Arena, withdrawal and incapacitation are the criteria to define the winner of the fight!"

After the explanation, Iruka announces the start of the fights.

"So, let's begin! The first fight will be between Inuzuka Kiba and Uzumaki Naruto!"

Naruto stands up with a confident smile, while Kiba smiles voraciously at him with his dog Akamaru at his side.

Kiba looks at Naruto with a serious expression.

"Just because you've improved a little over the last few months doesn't mean you're going to beat me, you weakling." Kiba said, punctuating the sentence with a sadistic smile.

Naruto looks at the small dog on the ground and asks.

"What is this stupid animal doing here?"

Furious, Kiba responds.

"Akamaru will fight by my side."

"I was talking to Akamaru." Naruto responds, turning to Kiba. "You stupid animal."

From the side of the arena, a student complains.

"Saruhiko is a bad influence on him." Shikamaru coments.

"Go choke on dick you bum." Saruhiko replies, irritated.

Sighing tiredly, Iruka silences his students with a stern look. The arena falls into a tense silence, the young ninjas and parents in the stands waiting anxiously.

"Naruto and Kiba, position yourself in the center of the arena," As soon as the boys position themselves, Iruka puts his arm between the two and gives the signal to begin the fight. "Hajime!"

Quickly, Kiba channels his chakra and performs the Shikyaku no Jutsu, then falling on all fours to the ground, assuming the posture of a wolf, increasing his speed and strength.

Caught off guard by the display of power, Naruto hesitates for a second. Kiba attacks by taking advantage of the opening in his opponent's guard, attacking with an elbow to the stomach.

Naruto is thrown out of the arena, his body spinning in the air. The imminent impact with the ground seems inevitable, but in one swift movement, he makes a seal with his hands.

"Kage Bushin no Jutsu!" He shouts.

POOF!

A shadow clone materializes out of the air, grabbing him before he touches the ground. The blonde ninja's clone throws the original towards the arena. Naruto returns to the arena, landing firmly on the ground. The clone, still floating in the air, screams at him.

"Kick that mutt ass… and Akamaru too!"

POOF!

The crowd gasps, surprised by Naruto's bold move. Kushina, in the stands, applauds frantically, her eyes shining with pride.

"That's right, Naru-chan! Show them!"

Kiba, still in the arena, watches Naruto with a mixture of surprise and frustration. He didn't expect Naruto to be able to recover so quickly, especially using such an advanced jutsu. Akamaru, at his side, growls low, feeling the tension in the air.

"You're right Akamaru, let's go with everything" says Kiba, giving a pill that makes Akamaru grow and have red fur. "Juujin Bunshin."

When the little dog finished growing it transformed into a Kiba clone, but Naruto didt not stand doing nothing. He had created ten shadow clones while his opponent was busy.

"Gatsuuga!" Kiba shouts, launching himself against the army of blonde ninjas.

Seven of the clones advanced in defensive formation, creating a human barrier between Naruto and his opponents.

The clawed tornadoes that are Kiba and Akamaru charge forward, their sharp claws slicing through the air. The clones, move forward, skillfully blocking and dodging attacks.

"You won't get past us, Kiba!" shouts one of the clones, his voice echoing throughout the arena.

Meanwhile, the remaining clones prepare, along with Naruto.

Two clones turn their backs on the fight and face the original next to the last clone.

Naruto nods, his eyes fixed on the battle ahead. He knows this is the time to show how hard he has trained.

"Now!" The original shouts running towards the clone on the right while his last copy runs towards the one on the left.

The clones with their backs to the fight give the two a boost. Naruto and his copy jump, stepping on the hands of the two clones positioned and are thrown into the air.

High in the air, the clone grabs Naruto's left arm with both hands, while the original focuses on forming a sphere of chakra in his right hand. The energy builds, glowing brightly as Naruto channels his power. When the sphere of turbulent energy is complete, the clone spins Naruto into the air and throws him towards one of the Kibas fighting on the ground.

Flying at his target like a missile, Naruto shouts.

"RASENGAN!"

BOOM!

The impact of the attack explodes, raising dust, covering the entire Arena. The crowd falls silent, surprised by the power of the jutsu. Only one voice is heard from the stands.

"Minato's jutsu?" Kushina whispers with teary eyes.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Boa noite pessoas,

[-] In addition to the time skip, I put on a mini tournament to demonstrate the brothers' power level at the end of their training.

[-] What did you think of the commentary on how the world has changed? Did it break the passing of the story? Did it help you understand the changes? Would you like me to never use this type of narrative again?

[-] Lastly, this will be the last chapter of this year, my book "Virtude da Reincarnação", will be released in December and I will be busy with other things too.
