Naruto: The new beginning

10. Training



In the end, Minato broke the silence: "Why does Naruto want a brother?"

"Because to my brother, I'll be as gentle as Big Brother Itachi, and unlike someone, who is too lazy to take care of me"

Kakashi rolled his eyes and said "Sorry to disappoint you, but I can't sacrifice my novels for you"

"If I had a younger brother, he would be as stupid as Sasuke..." Naruto showed a look of excitement; in his previous life, he was an orphan, so wanting a sibling was no surprise.

Minato smiled dryly and asked, "Don't you two have a good relationship?"

"Because of a good relationship, I am tolerant enough," Naruto said with a smile on his face.

Until the end of the birthday party, Naruto still failed to receive the gift of "younger brother" but received several other surprises.

Kakashi gifted a picture book, saying that it was brought back when he went to a village to perform a mission.

Naruto opened it excitedly, only to find that it was just an ordinary picture book. He thought it was some kind of wonderful manga.

Thinking about it too, if Kakashi dared to gift something strange, he might have to face the red-haired woman beside him. 

Kushina gave Naruto a small robe, the same style as his father; the difference is that the word written on the back is Naruto's name, "ナルト".

Minato's gift is a special version of Kunai! It has two more forks than ordinary kunai, the handle is painted with the Flying Thunder God technique, and it feels heavy to hold.

Naruto put on the robe on the spot, picked up the special kunai, shook the hem of his clothes excitedly, and felt that he was looking nice, the difference between him and his father was only a forehead guard!

Suddenly, I wanted to hit the targets.  Naruto jumped back a small step and held the Kunai in front of him. Well, This thing is a little heavier than the ordinary Kunai, which is a bit awkward for a three-year-old child to handle. But a good start. 

"Fourth Hokage, I want to challenge you!"

"Haha, okay, I'll accept your challenge!" Minato smiled and took Naruto under his arm and took him to a relatively spacious living room.

Kushina raised her hand happily and said, "I'll be the referee!"

Minato put down Naruto and said, "Before we start, let me explain the rules of sparing."

"Before the duel practice begins, you must first bind the seal of opposition, which symbolizes the next battle." Minato raised his index and middle fingers with one hand and placed them in front of his chest.

Naruto has a similar pattern.

"After the pair training is over, we must make a seal of reconciliation, symbolizing that we respect each other ." He said, bending his index and middle fingers, and hooking Naruto's fingers.

"Oh, I remembered it!" Naruto put down the kunai, this thing is just a burden if it doesn't work.

"Okay! Then, the rule this time is that as long as Naruto's attack hits, he wins!" Kushina stretched out his hand to signal the two to separate, and then shouted, "Start!"

The two sides formed the seal of opposition, and then... Minato didn't move...

Minato felt that he was bullying his son and couldn't be too harsh, so let him attack. 

Naruto is... I don't know what to do - I've watched so many episodes of Naruto, but we haven't fought, and I haven't practised any taijutsu ninjutsu before. Before getting this kunai, they Don't let him touch ninja tools.

Minato and Kushina seem to think that starting the practice too early is not good for future development, so when Naruto wanted to learn ninjutsu, Kushina taught him to read.

Naruto secretly begged Kakashi, but Kakashi refused, he should have 'accidentally' revealed the book Kakashi reads to his mother.

So Naruto is worried now, what is this move? Suddenly, Naruto has a flash of inspiration.

Naruto pounced on Minato, Minato grabbed Naruto's back collar and gently threw him aside.

Naruto barely stood on all fours. 

Naruto stood up and hit Minato's leg with a palm... Uh, Naruto's current height is probably about the level of jumping up and hitting Minato's knee but Minato grabbed Naruto's wrist and gently moved to the side.

Naruto lost his centre of gravity and almost fell. After standing up, he turned around and kicked, but again Minato backed away to dodge.

Naruto opened his arms, jumped up and tried to grab him but Minato grabbed Naruto with one hand and then tapped a hand knife on Naruto's head.

Minato said with a smile: "Dad won."

"Oh." Naruto wasn't too disappointed, and even thought about it, he wanted to beat  someone in the future and said, "I fought against you Dad, and I got my lesson to work hard to defeat you ."

Well, I'm not good with words. 

"At the end of the game, the two sides will seal the sign of reconciliation," Kushina announced at the end of the father-son match.

The family of three was in high spirits; only Kakashi's eyes twitched as he listened to Naruto's words to defeat the sensei. This talent for being a shinobi, should it be said that he is the teacher's child for sure. 

Naruto obediently tied the seal, and took the opportunity to make another request: "Dad, I want to practice."

"Sure."

"Oh-ah? Really?" Naruto was overjoyed, the three-year-old had already been beaten by his father and he could finally start practising.

"Let's start with physical training first; it will be very hard. Can Naruto hold on?"

"Absolutely no problem!" Naruto vowed to become stronger. Can a little hard work stop me?

Eternity later

"Ah... I'm so tired, I want to rest..."

The next day, after completing a few laps around his yard, and doing thirty push-ups, Naruto laid on the ground like a dead animal.

I'm only three years old. Do I need to hurry up to practice body arts, or ordinarily go to school and then wait for the old man Hokage to teach me? 

Naruto felt that he overestimated his willpower and self-discipline as a normal human. In my last life, I made countless plans for myself, including skipping rope, running, and push-ups, but none of them could last for more than three days.

Unfortunately or  Fortunately, however, if he wants to be lazy in this life, his mother 

Will not tolerate being lazy. 

Unfortunately, his mother's name is Kushina.

Today Kushina has changed from her past gentleness and concern for Naruto. She has become very strict.

"Get up, there are punch training and kick training next!" Kushina smacked on Naruto's head. 

Naruto felt a dull pain on the top of his head, and for a while, he even thought of Garp's iron fist of love for Luffy.

Naruto had to get up and punch the sandbag. Kushina explained how to exert force and correct the movements. The scene was very harmonious, like a parent supervising their children's homework.

"Come on Naruto, it's almost done."

Naruto gritted his teeth, sweat dripped down his hair, and endured the pain in his arms and thighs. He punched and kicked the sandbag. 

When the last kick came out, Naruto felt that his whole person was sublimated. It turns out that I can only endure hardship for so much time. After this relaxation, it seems that the small arms and calves are not his own, and he doesn't want to move when he sits on the ground. 

Kushina hurried over to help Naruto do the stretching and massage after exercise.

Kushina sadly said:

"Naruto, don't blame your mother for being cruel. You will become an excellent ninja in the future. The current practice is like a ninja performing a mission. You can't easily give up halfway when you start."

"I know, I also want to become stronger, at least strong enough to protect myself and my family." Of course, Naruto could understand Kushina's painstaking efforts.

As Human beings, if you don't force yourself, you don't know where your limits are. If you are not hardworking, then you will be a canon Folder in the world, and you have to be strong enough to survive in this world to protect your family & protect yourself.

This world is too dangerous; if you don't work hard, you will die, and Naruto is not sure if there is any Ashura Chakra in his body.

Therefore, it is up to you to become stronger. As for whether it is a matter of being the son of the fourth Hokage and Kushina with the benefit there comes danger. Of course, this life has given him his parent's love that he doesn't experience in his previous life.

Kushina hangs up Naruto and beats him, 

" How can you give up, so easily If you want to protect us it is not enough, break your limits, we will protect you now but what when you face your enemies, They will not show you mercy and then you will regret that you have not worked hard enough" 

While Minato was thinking about, how to train Naruto gently. If he also started teaching Naruto the same as his wife, then he would cause trauma, or his son's personality would be changed drastically in a short period. ' Maybe, I should invite Lady Tsunade to teach Naruto' Minato thought while walking towards his wife.

Naruto felt chills down his spine

' Is the end near? '

****

The morning passed like that. Naruto dragged his exhausted body back home to take a bath, waited for Minato to come back for lunch, and then fell into a deep sleep.

After sleeping for two hours, Naruto got up and moved his sore... Huh? Why aren't my arms sore?

Naruto jumped off the bed and found that his waist was no longer sore, his legs were no longer sore, and he was able to walk with strength. Is sleeping so effective?
