NARUTO: Demon's rebirth in Naruto

Naruto reached Ichiraku Ramen, the familiar aroma of the ichiraku store and noodles filling the air. Behind the counter, Teuchi was busy preparing an order.

Naruto took a seat and casually said, "Oldman, One bowl of miso ramen."

Teuchi smiled as he placed the steaming bowl in front of Naruto. "Here you go. Haven't seen you in the past few days, what happened?"

Naruto picked up his chopsticks and started eating. "Went on a mission. Yesterday, I came back to Konoha, and today I'm here."

Teuchi chuckled. "Hahaha, as you grow up, life only gets tougher."

Naruto smirked. "It's nothing, old man."

He continued slurping his ramen, enjoying the warmth. In between bites, he asked, "Where's Ayame? She's nowhere near the store today."

Teuchi's smile faltered slightly. "She's ill, so she's resting."

Naruto lowered his bowl slightly. "What happened to her, old man?"

Teuchi sighed, his face laced with concern. "She's always been a healthy child. On the day she was born, there was a strange snowfall in the middle of summer. The medical ninjas said she had a chakra surge at birth. We tried enrolling her in the Academy, but she struggled to perform even basic jutsu and eventually dropped out. Since she turned eighteen, she's been falling ill more often. Her body turns unnaturally cold. The medical ninjas diagnosed it as chakra imbalance. They gave us medicine, saying that if she takes it for three months, she will become a normal human… but she'll never be able to use chakra again."

Naruto's eyes narrowed. This is similar to the Cold Yin-Qi Body symptoms from my world.

"Old man, can I see her? I want to reassure her that its ok."

Teuchi was slightly surprised but allows naruto as no one asked about her like naruto did. "She's inside. Just don't disturb her if she's asleep."

Naruto got up. "Got it."

He entered the backroom where he, Ino, and Ayame had once eaten together. Ayame lay on a futon, her face pale, but her eyes were still open. When she saw him, she gave a weak smile.

"Naruto? Why are you here?"

"Nothing. Just wanted to see how you're doing."

Naruto approached her and took her hand. A faint blush spread across Ayame's cheeks.

Just as I expected. Cold Yin-Qi Body.

"Where's the medicine you've been taking?" he asked.

Ayame pointed to a small bottle on the nearby table. "Over there."

Naruto picked it up, sniffed it, and frowned. Unable to recognize its composition, he took a small sip.

"THUU… THUUU…" He spat it out immediately. "How the hell are you drinking this crap?"

Ayame chuckled weakly. "You get used to it."

Naruto, however, wasn't amused. He closed his eyes and checked his body. A sudden realization hit him—this medicine is destroying my dantian.

He turned to Ayame. "Don't drink this anymore. I will cure you. Tomorrow afternoon, I'll come and take you to my house."

Without waiting for her response, he walked over to the sink and poured the medicine out, replacing it with water.

Ayame frowned. "Why should I believe you? Are you a doctor?"

Naruto looked her in the eyes. "You have a very special constitution. It's normal that they couldn't find the real cause. Come to me tomorrow. I will cure you… and make you strong. Think about it."

With that, he turned and left.

Ayame watched him go, thinking, I'm getting bored here. If I go to his house, at least I can get some fresh air.

Naruto returned to the front and told Teuchi, "Ayame said she's getting bored inside and wants me to take her out tomorrow afternoon. Is that okay?"

Teuchi hesitated but eventually nodded. "I'll talk to her and let you know when you come tomorrow."

Naruto walked outside, deep in thought. Now that I have a Cold Yin-Qi Body candidate… I don't need Haku anymore. What should I do with him?

The next morning, Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke sat on the academy rooftop, a visible tension between Naruto and Sasuke. Sasuke was feeling inferior to Naruto ever since they returned from the Land of Waves.

Sakura sighed internally. Hurry up, Kakashi. These two have been like this since we got back.

A puff of smoke signaled Kakashi's arrival. "Yo."

Sakura groaned. "You're late again, Sensei!"

Kakashi ignored her and got straight to the point. "In five days, the Chunin Exams will begin. I've recommended all three of you to participate. Here are your entry passes."

He pulled out three slips and handed them over.

"This is voluntary. If you don't want to participate, you can wait another year. Do you want to enter?"

"Yes," Naruto and Sasuke said without hesitation.

Naruto thought, the info and jutsu they are providing are very pathetic. i need a good jutsu to use, I have a sealing techniques in my home, they seem to be advanced as me and sakura never heard about them. i haven't checked my house lately to find any advanced jutsu. I will assign this job of cleaning and checking my house to sakura today. 

Sasuke clenched his fists. I'm still too weak. If I want revenge, I need more power.

Sakura looked nervous. Naruto noticed and glanced at her, tilting his head slightly—a silent reassurance.

Sakura exhaled and smiled slightly. "Okay, Sensei. I'll participate too."

Kakashi and sasuke also seen this scene played by sakura and naruto.

Kakashi observed the silent exchange between Sakura and Naruto. They're developing quite a bond.

Sasuke, meanwhile, scowled with little anger. this bitch always tried to flirt with me all the time now just because naruto displayed some unexpected moves and fights she is fawning over him. she is the true meaning of the gold digger.

Sakura would never even in dreams thought that Sasuke would have an impression of her like that.

With all three agreeing, Kakashi gave a lazy wave. "Alright then. See you at the exams." He vanished in a puff of smoke.

Naruto returned home with Sakura, sending a shadow clone to pick up Ayame. The clone reached Ichiraku, and Teuchi agreed to let Ayame go with him. As they walked toward his house, Naruto received the information through his clone's memories.

Naruto handed a scroll to Sakura. "This is the breathing technique you need to learn and use from now on. I prepared it myself, so memorize it and then destroy it."

He then pointed his thumb at the house. "Back to work, maid. You need to clean the remaining rooms and find any useful scrolls or papers."

Sakura bows her head and says, "yes master."

Sakura gritted her teeth. Just you wait, Naruto.
