A Little Doubtful of Life

"Maybe it's because I'm naturally gifted."

After pondering for a moment, Naruto touched his chin and came to this conclusion.

After all, Chakra is refined from the combination of physical and mental strength. His physical fitness is very good, which can be seen from the fact that he can go to the Shopping Street to buy whatever he wants without any pressure.

Moreover, if his physical fitness wasn't good, he wouldn't be able to become the cage for that Big Fox inside him.

And mental strength is a reflection of intellect and experience.

Reading can bring wisdom.

Although he is still young, his mind is already considered mature compared to other peers, and he has more knowledge reserves than them. Considering all this, it is normal for his Chakra to increase quickly.

Understanding this, Naruto gained more confidence in his future ability to become an excellent ninja.

After that, in a great mood, Naruto washed up and cooked himself a large bowl of Braised Beef Noodles, and even fried two extra eggs.

After eating his fill, Naruto moved around slightly to aid digestion, and then pulled out one of the books the Anbu had sent him yesterday, "Three Body Technique," and began to read.

First, it explained the meaning of the Three Body Technique.

The Three Body Technique is divided into Clone Technique, Transformation Technique, and Substitution Technique. It is the foundation of becoming a ninja, and also several ninjutsu that play a huge role in ninja battles.

Especially the Substitution Technique among the Three Body Technique, even after becoming a high-level ninja, there is a high probability that it can be used in battle.

After explaining the meaning of the Three Body Technique, it was the hand seals of the twelve basic ninja seals, and after that, it was the specific cultivation method of the Three Body Technique, detailing what kind of seals were needed and what kind of Chakra flow coordination was required.

Reading the contents of the book, the time flew by until noon.

For lunch, Naruto ate Mapo Tofu with Vegetable Topping Rice.

Although he really likes noodles, even eating noodles three meals a day would not be a problem, but considering the balance of his diet, Naruto finally chose Mapo Tofu fried with minced meat and vegetables, a combination of meat, vegetables, and soy products.

After eating and cleaning up, Naruto began to try to practice the Three Body Technique.

First, the simplest Transformation Technique. Naruto carefully controlled his Chakra and completed the hand seals with clumsy gestures, and then imitated the way the children downstairs played ninja games and shouted.

"Transformation Technique!"

Then, a burst of smoke flashed.

Nothing happened...

He also tried the Clone Technique and Substitution Technique, and the result was, of course, no different from before.

Naruto was not discouraged by the continuous failure of practicing the three ninjutsu.

Although Naruto felt that he was naturally gifted, he was, after all, a beginner, and it didn't matter if he failed a few times.

After all, failure is the mother of success.

Putting aside distracting thoughts, Naruto chose to focus on practicing the simplest Transformation Technique, and then proceed to the practice of Clone Technique and Substitution Technique after he had mastered it.

Hand seals, combined with Chakra flow, cast the Transformation Technique.

Failure, comparing the textbook to summarize the reasons for the failure, trying to improve, and then performing the next ninjutsu cast.

Although each cast, whether successful or not, would consume some Chakra, Naruto didn't really care.

Anyway, the little Chakra consumed wasn't even as fast as he could recover.

Basically, before he could even feel the consumption, it was already smoothed over by the increased Chakra.

After practicing for another three hours, Naruto, having summarized his previous failures, felt that this time his hand seals and the flow of Chakra had reached a perfect level of coordination.

Filled with confidence, Naruto felt that this time he would definitely be able to use the Transformation Technique successfully, transforming into the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, whom he respected the most.

"Transformation Technique."

Naruto shouted loudly, and smoke billowed.

He glanced at the clothes on his body, which had indeed turned into the Third Hokage's God Garment Robe.

Did I succeed?

Just as joy surfaced, Naruto saw in the mirror beside him the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen with crooked eyes and a skewed mouth.

"I clearly did everything exactly as described in the textbook, so why did I still fail?" Naruto was a little puzzled.

He pondered for a moment but couldn't find an answer.

Naruto decided to try again, this time he would be extra cautious and make sure to cast the ninjutsu successfully.

Following the steps, Naruto once again used the Transformation Technique perfectly, just like in the textbook.

Then, full of hope, Naruto saw in the mirror the Third Hokage with sausage lips and no hair, looking at him with a strange smile, as if mocking him for being a fool.

"Again!"

He cast the Transformation Technique more than ten times, following methods as perfect as the textbook, but the results were all failures without exception. At this moment, Naruto began to doubt his life.

Could it be that I'm not actually gifted, and I don't even have the talent to practice ninjutsu?

Is that why I can't even use a simple Transformation Technique?

Unconsciously, a sense of frustration emerged in Naruto's heart.

However, he didn't sink into depression for long. Naruto regained his spirits. He could learn those complex math problems and Chinese characters, and he had made rapid progress on the first day of extracting Chakra. There was no reason why he couldn't learn a simple Transformation Technique.

With this thought, Naruto became more focused than ever and used the Transformation Technique once again.

The result, of course, was no surprise. He failed again.

"The culprit has been found."

Releasing the Transformation Technique, Naruto gritted his teeth a little.

This time, because of his extreme focus, he could feel that at the same time he successfully cast the technique, there was another force of Chakra in his body that did not belong to him, disrupting his technique.

Although this Chakra was not strong, ninjutsu was a precise thing, and even a little Chakra disturbance, especially within the body, could lead to the failure of the ninjutsu.

In that case, it was understandable that he used the Transformation Technique to turn into such a strange shape.

Although Naruto was confident that he could overcome such disturbances after multiple exercises, practicing ninjutsu under such disturbances was undoubtedly a matter of doing twice the work for half the results.

Under normal circumstances, Naruto would only think that he was not talented enough and could not fully master Chakra, which would cause him to fail in casting ninjutsu, but it just so happened that last night, he had seen the Big Fox living in his body.

"Damn fox."

Naruto sat back in the chair aggressively, then closed his eyes, focused his mind, and began to sense the sealing space within his body.

Then, not long after, Naruto stood in front of the iron gate.

He saw the Big Fox lying there, seemingly asleep.

At this moment, its expression was quiet, not baring its teeth, and it looked a lot cuter.

However, the current Naruto didn't care whether this Big Fox was cute or not, and angrily questioned, "Big Fox, why are you interfering with my ninjutsu training? I haven't charged you rent for living in my body, and you're still causing trouble for me!"
