Naruto : I Aspire To Become Hokage Man

---

Naruto snapped back to reality, his mind still hazy.

"Hmm… where do I live? What the fuck!" Naruto muttered, a sense of panic washing over him.

Yes, as a Transmigrater, he had arrived in this world, but the journey didn't come with a memory package. Now, he couldn't even find his own home. This was a serious problem. So, please, no laughing.

"Oh man, I didn't expect to end up homeless on my first day after traveling. This is embarrassing for a Transmigrater." Naruto sighed bitterly. "Maybe I should just knock myself out and pretend I have amnesia? The Anbu would probably take me home, right?"

Ding Dong~

The host has failed to find his home on the first day of traveling. A hidden task has been triggered.

Mission: Return home without arousing Anbu's suspicion.

Reward: Deluxe Simmons King Bed (Chakra can be absorbed automatically while sleeping).

Naruto's expression froze as he looked at the system prompt.

Right… he had almost forgotten that the Anbu were keeping an eye on him. If he started asking around about his own home, they'd be suspicious.

If he reported it to the Third Hokage, things might get even more complicated. Wait—was that really the point here? Whatever, now wasn't the time to overthink things.

"Wait, I got it!" A sly grin spread across Naruto's face as he glanced at the massive Hokage Rock looming over Konoha.

He showed lewd smile and went to Hokage rock

Not long after, Naruto was dragged back home by Konoha's security force and unceremoniously thrown inside.

Ding Dong~

Congratulations! The host has completed the mission. The reward, a Simmons luxury bed, has been placed in the system inventory. Please check it.

Looking up at the freshly painted mustache on the Third Hokage's face on the monument, Naruto couldn't help but feel a deep sense of accomplishment.

"Perfect. Time to sleep."

Without hesitation, he pulled the Simmons bed out of the system, replacing his old, worn-out mattress. Staring at the ragged thing, he frowned.

"Hey, does the system have a recycling service?"

Ding Dong~

Recycling is available. Currently, the only item that can be recycled in the Naruto world is the fruit of the God Tree.

However, garbage disposal is supported.

"...Picky as hell. Whatever, I'm going to sleep."

Without another thought, he tossed the old bed into the system's disposal and flopped onto the massive new bed.

The Next Morning

"Mmmhh~" Naruto stretched lazily, groaning in satisfaction.

"This is great… way more comfortable than butchering chickens in my past life."

Opening the system panel, he checked his stats:

Host: Naruto Uzumaki

Identity: Son of the Fourth Hokage, Nine-Tails Jinchūriki, Reincarnation of Asura

Bloodline: Uzumaki Clan

Chakra Level: 11 (Sealed)

Physical Strength: 0.5

Techniques: Shadow Clone Jutsu, Transformation Jutsu, Substitution Jutsu

Talents:

Talk-no-Jutsu (Mouth Escape): Exclusive to the Child of Destiny. Passive ability to lower an enemy's IQ by 20 when delivering motivational speeches.

Chakra Precision Control: Clap your hands, and you get what you want.

Note: The average Chakra level for a Genin is 1.

"Huh? Not bad. My Chakra increased by one unit overnight!" Naruto was pleasantly surprised. "System, what's the highest Chakra level for a Genin?"

Ding Dong~

1,000,000.

"...Huh?" Naruto stared at the panel, dumbfounded. "Are you messing with me?"

Ding Dong~

The highest recorded Genin Chakra level was Naruto Uzumaki before he became Hokage, followed by Might Dai when he opened the Eighth Gate before his death. Their Chakra levels exceeded 100,000. One unit of Chakra is the minimum required to use a D-rank jutsu.

"The fuck? You're telling me you're measuring Genin levels using my Six Paths power as a benchmark?!" Naruto was speechless.

Shaking his head, he glanced out the window. The morning sun was already shining brightly, and his stomach let out an embarrassing growl.

Opening the fridge and kitchen cabinets, all he found were empty instant noodle cups and discarded milk cartons.

Sitting on the bed, Naruto rubbed his temples. Just how the hell did his past self even survive to become a Jōnin?

From what he could recall, he had been fending for himself since the age of three. In his previous life, kids that young were still in kindergarten, yet here he was, dressing and feeding himself.

It was ridiculously precocious. Not to mention, he couldn't even reach the damn kitchen cabinets.

His gaze suddenly fell on an envelope sitting on the table. Curious, he picked it up and opened it. Inside was a stack of banknotes—20,000 Ryo.

"Huh. Looks like the old man still has a shred of conscience left. At least he won't let the Fourth Hokage's son starve to death."

Naruto sighed, then did some mental calculations.

"Wait… If I remember correctly, in the Naruto world, 1 Ryo is roughly equal to 10 Yen. That means 500 Yen can buy a magazine at a roadside stall, which is about 5 bucks in my last life. So… 500,000 Yen is just around 1,000 bucks? Damn, no wonder I was living off instant ramen.

I'm basically like a broke college student—Ichiraku at the beginning of the month, steamed buns and pickles by the end."

Despite the complaint, there wasn't much he could do. Cooking wasn't an option when he was only four. So, he grabbed some money and made his way into Konoha.

---

After wandering around the village for a while, he finally found his target—Ichiraku Ramen, the hidden boss of Konoha cuisine.

"Uncle Teuchi, a miso ramen!" Naruto called out, eager to finally experience the legendary time-traveler's must-try dish.

"Got it, Naruto! I'll add extra slices for you," Teuchi responded with a smile. "Just don't spend all your money too fast, or you'll be living off air by the end of the month."

Naruto's eye twitched. Damn, was my life really this pathetic before?

"Alright, thanks, Uncle Teuchi!" he replied.

Just as he was about to dig in, a gentle voice reached his ears.

"Boss, two bowls of miso ramen, please."

Naruto turned toward the source of the voice.

And just like that, his peaceful meal was about to take an interesting turn.
