Third Person POV
Konoha.
...
...
As the months changed in Konoha, bringing with them the dance of the leaves and the whisper of the wind, Naruto dedicated himself to solitary training deep in the forest. Itachi had appeared a few times and they fought together, Itachi still trying to understand all of Naruto's abilities, their fights always ended in a draw without a winner, both Naruto and Itachi didn't seem very enthusiastic about taking the fight seriously, but both always left satisfied.
Minato, Kushina, Mizu, and Sora had no idea how Naruto spent his time in a training that would shock them, but he knew very well how to disguise his activities. And he was sure that he could have this time because his parents' work was very rigorous for them to leave at any moment.
On most days, Itachi didn't show up and Naruto trained both his observation and armament haki, greatly improving his strength. Months passed and nothing unusual happened.
Naruto had his training routine and spent time with his family, Itachi started acting strange and became increasingly absent, only appearing every few weeks. But Naruto didn't seem to care much.
While he was reading a book, his mother appeared in the room one night. "Naruto, let's eat out today, get ready!" She said enthusiastically and looked a little at her son who was shirtless in the room. "Hm? You have so many muscles at this age? That's strange, I swore you didn't seem to have such a build before, I swear if it were anyone else, I'd say they were training, Dattabane. Hahaha!" She laughed at the end and left the room.
The Namikaze family headed to their favorite ramen restaurant, Ichiraku Ramen, which always brought back happy and relaxed memories. They chatted animatedly along the way, with Mizu and Sora sharing stories from the academy, while Minato and Kushina listened with pride and affection.
Seated around the table in the cozy restaurant, the family enjoyed a delicious meal, laughing and talking. Naruto participated in the conversation, but his mind occasionally drifted to his trainings in the forest, pondering how to improve his strange skills.
Kakashi and Jiraya also joined them, Guy also entered the restaurant and they ended up joining, as the Hokage's family was there that night, the place quickly filled up attracting attention as always when the Namikaze family was there.
Naruto loved being with his family, but always felt he didn't belong there, as the main focus of the conversations were his sisters, he was always excluded, and it was almost always his mother who talked to him occasionally, otherwise no one really asked him things.
Naruto didn't show it, but he was still a child and this left a certain bitter taste in his mouth, but he couldn't say he had powers that didn't belong to this world, so he would have to be content with silence.
"So, how was training and the academy today, Mizu and Sora?" asked Jiraya, looking at Naruto's sisters, his current pupils.
"We're learning new jutsus that you passed on! It's very challenging, but fun, we're already learning the chakra control techniques that Iruka Sensei taught at the academy!" Mizu replied with a bright smile.
Sora added, proudly: "I'm trying to master some new moves today!"
Kushina, turning to Naruto with a loving smile, said: "And you, Naruto? How was your day?"
Naruto, feeling a bit out of place in the conversation, replied calmly: "Ah, I spent the day reading. You know, I love learning new things."
"It's impressive how dedicated you are to your studies, Naruto," commented Minato.
"Do you like the ramen, son?" Kushina asked and Naruto nodded.
Naruto and his family had finished and left to return home, in the blink of an eye the days passed and Naruto kept the same routine.

Naruto decided to go further this time, he tried to reach a city far from the village, he quickly arrived in a small town and landed in an alley to not attract attention, going down the main road, he found what he was looking for.
"Excuse me." Naruto called out to a blacksmith working in a forge.
"What do you want, kid, you dress too well to stop someone looking to learn my profession." He looked suspiciously at Naruto, who even without chakra, is the son of the Hokage and is rich, so clothes were never a problem.
Naruto, knowing the blacksmith would have a quota of children asking to learn his profession, understood the man's behavior. "I want a sword, could you make one specifically for me?" Naruto asked.
"Hm... do you have the money for this?" He said, looking at Naruto.
"Yes, money is not a problem, as long as you make this sword." Naruto handed him a paper, it had a sword like he saw in that world, most ninja swords were short and even at a right angle, so he chose to try to replicate a sword from his memories.
"Hm... it's quite different from what I usually make, I can try to make it. But I want money upfront, at least half." He demanded, and Naruto agreed.
"Here." After negotiating the price, Naruto was surprised that he didn't try to cheat him and gave his money easily.
After returning to his home, Naruto noticed that Itachi appeared in the field today, he noticed the older boy more and more absent, and the last time he came was 2 months ago.
"Itachi?" Naruto landed on the ground, Itachi looked up at him surprised, but Naruto could see something wrong in his eyes.
"Naruto..." Itachi murmured.
"Something wrong?" Naruto looked at him suspiciously.
Itachi was silent for a few seconds. "It's nothing you can help me with, Naruto." He said and continued. "But tell me Naruto, if you had the choice to eliminate a group of people to save a larger number, would you do it?"
Itachi asked and Naruto was initially confused but could understand his words. "If you're going to save a larger group of people, you would do it, but not everything comes down to that, for example, eliminating innocent people for an idea that will save others, is wrong, the massacre of people who have done nothing wrong is never the answer to anything." Naruto spoke, remembering memories from Ohara in another life.
"I see..." Naruto's words seemed to have some impact on Itachi, even though Naruto didn't know what it was about, but with the growth of his observation haki, he could feel some things and knew that Itachi seemed a serious case in a whirlwind of emotions.
"Naruto, I'm going back, this might be the last time we see each other, know that you are much more than anyone in the village could say, not even the Hokage knows the potential in you, I hope you achieve everything you aim for, because with your powers, you will be able, goodbye Naruto." As soon as Itachi finished his little speech, he jumped into the air and disappeared among the trees of the forest with Naruto sensing him moving away with his haki.
"Itachi..." Naruto was confused, about that being the last time they would see each other. Naruto sighed and continued training thinking about Itachi's words, days passed and he went to pick up the sword in that city again, which was ready. Naruto stored the blade in his room and took it to train his fencing in the next two weeks.
"Sister, pass me the salt!" Sora spoke to Naruto, Naruto was at his house and his family was dining again with him fulfilling his sister's request.
While they were dining, Naruto felt something strange that night and looked at his parents and sister, they all seemed fine, this feeling wasn't from them. It was a feeling that Naruto remembered in the memories of that vice-admiral when the call buster attacked Ohara.
'Something will happen tonight...' Naruto thought and his mother noticed his strange behavior. "Naruto, are you okay?" She asked with a tone of concern.
"I'm feeling a little sick, may I go to my room?" Naruto asked.
"Yes, son, if you're not feeling well... you can go." Kushina spoke and Minato nodded. Naruto got up and went to his room.
He looked at the moon, he knew that something terrible would happen in the village that night, impulsively, he went to his wardrobe and took out a box from there, where his sword was, a high-grade katana replica.
He picked it up and tied it around his waist, although it was much larger for his body, he had a strength beyond an adult, even among ninjas.
He first put on a cloth around his face to cover it, he didn't have a mask, so this was his only option, and he opened the window after making sure his family wasn't suspecting him and nothing from their behavior, and jumped into the air in blind spots of the ambu hidden around the house.
He rose into the air until he reached a very high point of the village in the middle of it, he looked at all corners trying to discover where this feeling came from and from the whole village, he noticed that the Uchiha clan seemed the darkest part of the village and could feel people dying in that place at this exact moment, Naruto's eyes widened and he jumped in that direction, remembering the conversation he had with Itachi a few weeks ago.
"Is it really you Itachi?!" Naruto couldn't help but ask as he used geppo in that direction.
