Over the next week or so naruto did nothing but practice on sticking a leaf to his forehead with chakra as it is the only productive thing he could do as physical exercise was not recommended for children not even five years old so naruto decided to start doing physical training after another one and a half year and was currently focused on bringing up his chakra control up to scratch by doing various variations of the leaf sticking exercise of his design and have them all mastered in the the one and a half year time he had before staring physical training as tree walking and water walking was not possible for a child without minimum physical strength. Naruto also started learning how to write kanji with a perfect handwriting as it was the basic requirement for learning Fuinjutsu which according to him was the most useful and dangerous Shinobi art and also because he would have to be a master at Fuinjutsu before he could even think about learning the Hiraishin or make barrier Fuinjutsu which could prevent the use of space time Ninjutsu like the one used by obito whom I was going to kill with extreme prejudice whenever I had the chance as I was not a person who believed in redemption.
I also started the practice of meditating for an hour at night immersing myself in my chakra and moving along with it to various parts of the body just getting familiar with my chakra, as it flowed through all the 361 Tenketsu in my body. Over the next three months I had succeeded in sticking 10 leaves on my body using my chakra inside my shirt and kept them stuck like that for as long as I could , this increased my chakra control as well as my chakra reserves as well which meant that I had to undertake even more strenuous chakra control exercises as my chakra kept growing with time. So I started moving the leaves across my body using only my chakra till I could do it subconsciously as I did other things like perfecting my calligraphy and also increasing the speed of my calligraphy while maintaining the same quality of handwriting. I had also taken to using rubber bands to increase the dexterity of my fingers so that I could form handsigns easily after I started practising them. I had also started running around the compound as fast as I could for as long as I could early in the morning and in the evening always trying to improve the number of laps I could complete at my fastest speed as it is the only exercise i could do in this tiny body without damaging it. I also did some stretching exercises and practised doing cartwheels and somersaults to increase the dexterity of the body.
After nearly six months of moving into the Sarutobi compound I could successfully move a bunch of leaves all over my body subconsciously without paying any attention to them as I went about my business and as a result my chakra control had increased by leaps and bounds and now I could expel chakra from any Tenketsu in my body and control it subconsciously. After this was done I started trying to climb up the Wall in my room using chakra as I wasn't yet strong enough to practice true wall walked while ignoring the G forces. I had noticed that my speed and stamina had also increased dramatically due to all my running around and my flexibility and Dexterity of my fingers had also increased. I had asked Kanna whom I was starting to think as my mother in all but blood if I could read a book on what I would learn in the academy from the library as she was heavily pregnant and close to giving birth any day now and as such could not teach me herself at least till the baby was a few months old so she gave me a few books about everything I would learn in the academy as she knew that I was very smart and could understand at least half of what was there in the books by myself so she didn't mind giving me those books. I had completely read all those books and the first thing I I had practised was doing all the handsigns mentioned, slowly at first to get them right and perfect and then increasing the speed as my ultimate goal was to make the handsigns with the same speed as Kakashi himself. It took me ten days to make all the handsigns perfectly to my standards. It was about the same time that Kanna had gone into labour and Konohamaru was born. The moment I walked into Kanna's room after she returned to the compound from the hospital and she asked me if I would like to meet my little brother and when I first laid my eyes on Konohamaru in Kanna's arms that I made a vow that I would burn down the world if I have to, to make sure that Hiruzen, Kanna and Konohamaru were safe. This event lit a fire under me as I remembered the monsters out in the shinobi world who would pose a threat to my surrogate family and I decided that I had to get as strong as I can and as fast as I can to protect my family from those monsters. In the next six months I I had mastered the wall crawling exercise to such a degree that I could do it subconsiously and I had taken to sticking to the ceiling from my back using chakra and reading a book Or practising the speed of forming handsigns so that my body could get used to the effect of gravity so it would be easier when I started practising wall walking. I had also gotten the speed of my handseals to the speed of a rookie genin and kept improving it. My speed and stamina had also increased drastically as the kyuubi's chakra healed my fatigued muscles making them stronger far quicker than what was normal. I had also incorporated cardio and core strengthening exercises in my exercise routine and also increased the difficulty in doing the exercises for flexibility so that I could evade many blows of an enemy without much difficulty and wasting stamina like Orochimaru but maybe not to that level as I was not going to do any experiments on my body and there was no way I was signing the snake contract to obtain the same benefits as Orochimaru or anko. I had also mastered another variation of the leaf sticking exercise of my own design which was moving the leafs stuck to my body in opposite directions which required my full concentration at the beginning but after nearly three months of near constant practise I had managed to master this exercise to a degree where I could do it subconsiously which resulted in my chakra control increasing dramatically.
