Third Person POV
Konoha.
...
...
Naruto was flying through the sky over Konoha peacefully while looking at the village below him.
"It's the first time I use this technique, but even though it's not as good as I imagined, being able to execute it is already fantastic." Naruto murmured, only having the high-altitude wind as a response to his thoughts.
"Let's leave the village today and see the surroundings of the place," Naruto spoke calmly before starting to step forcefully on the air and move away from the village. He passed through the barrier that his mother and many fuinjutsu specialists in the security department were watching over the village without worry. He was an anomaly that not even detection barriers could detect.
He quickly moved away from the place without anyone being able to imagine that Naruto was flying on his own. He reached a mountain near Konoha.
[Author here: That mountain where Nagato hid when he attacked the village in the original.]
Naruto landed behind the mountain, "This body is strong, but I still have a lot to grow..." he said to himself, looking at his hands. He was not a soul from another world, but a boy with a body powerful enough to perform techniques from another world according to his memories, from this world, where he was a powerful vice admiral of an organization that defended the seas from piracy and criminals.
This person in this world was not a good Samaritan, but leaned more towards the side of justice than raiding villages and killing innocent people. So he chose the side of the navy, mastered all techniques, developed all haki, and ate a powerful logia that was meant for his colleague, Kizaru. But his better performance earned him the fruit, and he had everything to have a bright future. That was until the world government asked him to go to a country called Ohara, and they simply ordered him to execute a destruction order on the spot, something he disagreed with and just didn't do.
He decided to leave the navy and join the revolutionaries after that. The world government put a bounty on his head. On his way to find a new organization, he had to fight against CP0 and a powerful organization called the Holy Knights, which he didn't even know existed, and this group was led by one of the five elders. He ended up dead against such formidable forces.
Naruto was always influenced by these memories. He always seemed calmer and more serious than a boy his age. He had so many powers in his body, something like 4 Kekkei Genkai if Naruto were to count everything he possesses, like his observation haki, armament haki, conqueror's haki, his fruit, and his powerful body that allows him to execute techniques that no one else in this world can. He may not have chakra like everyone in this world, but he never cared about that. Naruto could tell his parents about his hidden powers, but he believed it would be better not to. If people already treated him this way for not having chakra, imagine for him possessing alien powers.
"I don't want to be a lab rat," he said to himself. He knew he was not even a shadow of that vice admiral from those memories because he never trained for it, always staying calmer without showing much. But now with his sisters going to the academy, maybe he should train outside the village and get used to his magic.
Naruto started walking towards a corner when he felt something with his observation haki, "Why would you be here..." he thought, still not knowing what that person was doing so far from the village like him, and the distance from his location was a bit far for him to know what was happening on that side.
"There's nothing to do, let's see what's happening..." He thought and quickly jumped into the air, heading in that direction.
In the shadows of a forest near Konoha, an intense battle was unfolding. Itachi Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha, two of the most talented ninjas of their generation from the village, were facing Mukai Kohinata, a traitor who possessed the fearsome Byakugan in one eye. Despite their youth and exceptional abilities, Itachi and Shisui were struggling against Mukai's power and experience.
Mukai, with his Byakugan, was able to anticipate and counterattack the movements of the two Uchihas efficiently, using the wide vision and perception of the dōjutsu. His strikes were precise and deadly, forcing Itachi and Shisui to repeatedly retreat.
Itachi, with his Sharingan eyes shining intensely, tried to find an opening in Mukai's movements, while Shisui, known for his speed and the body flicker technique, tried to flank the opponent. However, Mukai's ability to use the Byakugan to detect attacks from all angles made the task extremely difficult, clashing head-on with two powerful Sharingans.
"What are we going to do, Itachi?" Shisui shouted, dodging a precise attack from Mukai. "He's anticipating all our moves!"
Itachi didn't respond, his face tense in concentration. He knew that if they continued like this, they would be defeated. He was about to signal Shisui to use his Mangekyō Sharingan when an unexpected event changed the course of the battle.

Suddenly, a flash of light emerged from the forest, too fast to be followed by the naked eye. In an instant, it pierced through Mukai Kohinata's heart, who barely had time to register what was happening. With a look of surprise and terror, he saw, through his Byakugan, a boy – Naruto – standing at a distance, raising a finger as if he were simply taking down an animal.
Itachi and Shisui were astonished. The speed and precision of the attack were beyond anything they expected. As Mukai fell to the ground, his body exploded as he had programmed in case he lost the fight.
*BOOOM!*
"What was that?!" Shisui asked alarmed, turning back in the direction of that beam, not knowing what it was, expecting another attack towards them.
If Shisui was stunned, Itachi was even more so, as he had seen that light before and only an extraordinary boy could do that hidden from the eyes of others.
"It seems whoever did this, saved us and left..." Shisui commented, lowering his guards but grateful that he didn't need to use his Mangekyō Sharingan.
"What do we do now, Shisui?" Itachi asked.
"Let's take what's left of the body and return to inform Danzō-sama. They will investigate who did this," Shisui commented, sealing what remained of Mukai's body.
Itachi still didn't know what to say, keeping his suspicions to himself, even with Shisui being his best friend.
Meanwhile, back at the original location, Naruto thought about training. He could sense any living being within 1 kilometer, so he could flee if someone entered his area.
He continued training his abilities, wanting to reach the power that was in his memories, but knew that it would take at least years before he could get close to his real potential. However, he would try to do it here.
"I may not have plans to be a ninja, but I certainly won't be a weak being in this world." With that thought, Naruto went back to training.
Hours passed without anyone bothering Naruto, and he decided it was time to return home. He wanted to arrive before sunset, avoiding unnecessary attention. With abilities that allowed him to move in ways that defied normal comprehension, he navigated through the skies of Konoha, passing unnoticed by the barriers and detection systems again, and headed towards his family's property.
Kakashi Hatake, an Anbu assigned to watch over the Namikaze house, was in his usual position in a nearby tree. He felt a slight disturbance in the air again, making him look in that direction, but upon looking around, he saw nothing out of the ordinary. "Am I seeing things? Maybe it's that one in Jiraiya's book," he murmured.
Meanwhile, Naruto entered his house undetected. After a quick shower to rid himself of any traces of his recent training, he returned to his room. From his position, Kakashi observed Naruto's bedroom window, noting that everything seemed fine. The young boy appeared safe and calm as he went back to reading a book in his bed, unaware of the boy giving a smile.
Shortly after, the Namikaze family arrived. Minato and Kushina, accompanied by Mizu and Sora, entered the house talking animatedly about the girls' training day. They greeted Naruto cheerfully, and soon, the delicious aroma of dinner filled the air, prepared once again by Naruto's mother.
During dinner, Mizu and Sora excitedly shared their experiences of the day. They talked about what they would learn during the year and friends they had made, also getting to know Iruka-Sensei. Minato listened with pride, while Kushina alternated between words of encouragement and motherly advice. However, she couldn't help but glance at Naruto to see if he might be hurt by this while he was staying at home, but Naruto just paid attention to his food and smiled at his sisters.
Naruto, participating in the conversation, maintained his usual air of calm. He listened attentively to his sisters' stories, occasionally sharing a thought or a perceptive observation.
The meal ended, and eventually, everyone went to their rooms. The next day followed the same routine, but this time Naruto did not accompany his sisters to school while Kushina asked him to take care of the house like the man of the place, jokingly, after a loving kiss.
Naruto quickly left his house and went to the same location where he had trained the day before.
Naruto immediately realized that he was not alone; there were troops circulating the area. "This must be due to Itachi and his friend reporting what they saw, so an Anbu team came to investigate what was happening... well, that's quite understandable," Naruto shrugged and continued his training. He wasn't bothered by the Anbu patrolling the area and trained without making much noise. When someone approached, he would just leave there or fly high up. Since there was no Byakugan in that team, it was easy to stay there.
However, Naruto sensed a new character entering his observation haki field, and he wasn't like an Anbu, so Naruto scratched his head before turning into light and heading towards an approaching Itachi.
Before Itachi could react, a light appeared in front of him, and Naruto materialized with a flash. "Yo, I suppose you're after me due to what happened yesterday, aren't you, Itachi?" Naruto looked at the older boy and smiled.
"Naruto..." Itachi didn't know how to react to this boy, being, as always, the biggest mystery of Konoha for him.
