He shrugged. For some reason, he could feel that he didn't even need to use hand signs for that technique. So he let the mysterious energy within him take over. He simply thought about fire—commanded it in his mind—and immediately released a powerful stream of flames. This one was larger, more intense, and more controlled than the one he'd done with hand signs.
As Naruto gazed at the destruction he had caused, he whistled in awe. For some reason, his chakra was growing—constantly expanding. It wasn't stopping. It seemed that the other energy within him was forcing his chakra to grow and evolve further.
Naruto chuckled lightly. So chakra really is like a pet to this energy... That saying might not be just a metaphor after all.
He smirked at his own joke and shook his head.
But there was something else.
His chakra was… changing. It was almost as if it were breaking down and being rebuilt. The other energy within him was merging with his chakra, bit by bit, increasing its efficiency, denseness, and overall power.
Because he had natural, perfect control over the mysterious energy, that same level of control transferred to his chakra. The energy commanded chakra easily—almost lazily, like it was second nature.
That solved all of his problems with ninjutsu and chakra control. He could now manipulate all five chakra natures without effort, simply by commanding them in his mind. The energy would do the rest, bending chakra to his will.
Naruto grinned. Now the only thing I need to focus on is physical training…
If he wanted to unlock more of that energy—fast—he had to strengthen his body. Right now, his current body could only handle about 4 to 6 percent of the total energy sealed inside him.
He smiled to himself. Even that much is enough to shake the world… but there's still more.
It was time to start meditating seriously on his power and to begin intense physical training. He already had the speed and strength, but if there ever came a day when someone might match him, he'd need more than raw power—he'd need skill and technique.
He recalled a book he had read about taijutsu styles. Might be worth looking into.
And, of course, he would eventually pay a visit to the Hokage…well..... Hokage's vault and the secret scrolls in the Namikaze library—his father's collection. With his current speed, it would be easy. He could move so fast that it almost felt like time had stopped. Of course, time hadn't actually frozen, but to him, the rest of the world moved at a crawl.
But now wasn't the time for that.
It was time to start his physical training. So, Naruto decided to join the "Green Beast of Konoha"—Might Guy.
The next morning, Might Guy was doing his usual 100-lap run around Konoha when he noticed someone quietly following him. Curious, he stopped and turned.
To his surprise, it was a kid. But not just any kid—he recognized the facial features and coloring immediately.
"Well, if it isn't Naruto-kun! What brings you here, and why is the Hokage's son tailing me so early in the morning?" Guy asked, raising an eyebrow.
Naruto nodded politely. "I heard that you're the taijutsu specialist of the village. I want to learn how you train so I can increase my physical strength as well."
Might Guy's eyes lit up with fire. He gave Naruto a huge thumbs-up. "Naruto! Your flames of youth are burning brightly! I admire that spirit! Don't worry, I will help you stoke those flames even higher!"
Naruto sweat-dropped a little but smiled. "All right then."
Guy nodded. "Usually, I do 100 laps around the village each morning. But you can stop if you get tired, all right?"
Naruto simply nodded, and the two of them began running together.
To Guy's surprise, Naruto was effortlessly keeping up with his pace. Curious, he picked up speed. A few seconds later, Naruto was once again running right beside him without breaking a sweat.
Now genuinely intrigued, Guy thought, This kid must be training really hard.
So, he decided to push it even further.
Might Guy shifted into a higher gear—now running at jōnin-level speed. But with utter shock, he saw that Naruto was still right beside him, matching him stride for stride without even breathing hard. as if he were just taking a casual stroll.
By this point, the two of them had already completed 25 laps around Konoha, and Naruto still showed no signs of fatigue. Guy, wanting to test his theory, decided to run at his absolute top speed—the maximum he could reach without removing his ankle weights.
To his horror, Naruto was still right beside him.
Is this kid even human? Guy wondered, doubt creeping into his mind.
Eventually, the 100 laps were completed. Might Guy was drenched in sweat and breathing heavily. Sure, he did 100 laps every day, but never at full speed. That kind of exertion was exhausting, even for him.
Naruto, on the other hand, looked completely calm, watching Guy with a blank expression.
Guy sweat-dropped. So this is how people feel when they're around me... he thought.
Still, he smiled and gave Naruto a big thumbs-up. "Naruto-kun! I wasn't expecting your flames of youth to be burning so brightly! Alright! Let's move on to the next part of the training. But if you want to rest a little, I'd completely understand—you did just finish 100 laps around the village."
Naruto looked at him blankly. "I'm good. So what's next?"
Guy sweat-dropped again. "Well then, since your flames of youth are burning so fiercely... we shall now do one thousand push-ups and one thousand sit-ups!"
Without hesitation, he dropped down and began the workout.
To his amazement, Naruto began doing push-ups and sit-ups as well—without any struggle. Naruto breezed through the exercises as though they were nothing. Even the 100 laps hadn't affected him.
It was as if this wasn't training at all.
Naruto could tell that he would have to push himself much harder if he wanted to feel any real progress. His body, while still small, felt fundamentally different—stronger, more efficient.
He smirked at the thought, already closing in on a thousand push-ups without breaking a sweat.
Might Guy, meanwhile, had paused at 500, staring at Naruto in disbelief.
