Important: I know why the you guys can't give the story power stones. Apparently Webnovel is auditing story's that could have material that they don't want on their app. Mine was flagged for whatever reason. Probably the r-18 tag I added. I was told to wait at most a week and it would be fixed. Until then I won't be able to rob you of your stones. Count yourselves lucky.
Ps: share the story with any friends and leave reviews pls.

I shall take your power stones and give you a riddle. Two sentries were on duty outside a barracks. One faced up the road to watch for anyone approaching from the North. The other looked down the road to see if anyone approached from the South. Suddenly one of them said to the other, "Why are you smiling?" How did he know that his companion was smiling? Enjoy the chapter!)
After the meeting with Inoichi, Naruto went straight to the training ground Sasuke is using. He told Sasuke exactly what happened, as to keep his trust. He already has some major trust issues after being betrayed by Itachi, so Naruto didn't want to lose Sasuke's trust. Sasuke didn't like the idea of Naruto talking to others about him, but how else is he going to get help. After settling Sasuke down, they finished training and went home to relax.
The next day, Naruto went to speak to the Hokage. As Naruto walked straight into the Hokages office without knocking, the Hokage could be seen relaxing on his couch whilst his clones pour through his paperwork.
"Yo, Gramps, what's up." Naruto says as he strolls into the room and takes a seat across the Hokage.
"Hello, Naruto. How have you been doing? Is your training going well?" The Hokage asks as he takes a hit of his pipe.
"Yeah, It's been going well. I pretty much have water walking down by now. I've been helping Sasuke Uchiha as much as I can as well. He refuses to go to a Yamanaka so..." Naruto says but he's cut off by the Hokage.
"So you went to Inoichi Yamanaka and asked to be taught how to help young Sasuke."
"Yeah, how did you know?"
"This is a shinobi village, Naruto. As it's leader I know almost everything that happens in these walls." Hiruzen says with confidence. "Do you need anything, Naruto?"
"Huh? not really, no. Although, I would like to know if I could send some clones here every day to work as your assistant." Naruto asks with a hopeful smile.
"Why do you want to work as my assistant? Do you need more money?" Hiruzen asks.
"No, I don't need money, but I do need experience. If I want to be Hokage, then I need to know what that entails. I need to learn and the best person to teach me would be you." Naruto points at the Hokage with conviction.
"Hmm, I agree. You can start tomorrow at 7 am. Send three clones and if I need more I'll inform you."
"Haha, I knew you'd say yes, Gramps." Naruto laughs happily as this brings him one step closer to his dream.
This isn't just to learn from Hiruzen, no. Naruto wishes to build a foundation for when he becomes Hokage. If he's been personally trained by the Third Hokage, that would definitely help his goal. Having this on his 'resume' would greatly increase his standing later on. Before leaving the office, Naruto and his Gramps talked about some of their future plans.
While Naruto was on his way home, he decided that it was time to test his eye powers. He made his way toward a forested area of the village and looked for any wildlife. Naruto hasn't learned any genjutsu just yet, so the only thing to test is eikyo. Eikyo is an ultimate cheat ability that can help Naruto accomplish almost anything. He doubts that it would work on any of the main villains from the story, but it may at the very least help give him an opening to cut them down.
After searching for a short while, Naruto finds a deer grazing a small patch of open grass. Taking this chance before the deer could run away, he appears before it and sends chakra to his eyes. His eyes keep the same blue they had but glowed slightly with a supernatural luminescence. The pupils changed to a sort of cat-like eye as well. Naruto looks into the eyes of the deer and in turn, the deer looks into Naruto's.
"Stop breathing." Naruto commands with a sad expression.
The deer instantly holds its breath as its eyes bore holes into Naruto's head. Over time the deer falls to the ground and starts convulsing. After shaking a bit, the deer lays dead on the forest floor. Tears pooled in Naruto's eyes as he stares at the dead being before him. This is the first time Naruto has killed, and he feels horrible for it. He didn't have to kill that animal to test his powers. He could have simply ordered it to walk sideways or hop a certain amount of times. These thoughts circled in Naruto's head as he stared at the still open eyes of the dead deer.
Seeing that his mind is in turmoil, Naruto sits where he stood and starts meditating. After some self-reflection, Naruto came to the conclusion that this needed to happen. He's training to become a shinobi, and that profession isn't a clean one. If he wants to make his dream come true, then he has to get his hands dirty. Taking this life will help mold him into what he needs to be in order to be Hokage. Also, Naruto is a meat-eater, so he has no qualms with hunting animals. It's just that this was his first kill. If he felt this bad about an animal then how would he feel about a human? This question invades Naruto's mind.
'Let's not think about that. I'll deal with it as it comes.'
After seeing how powerful his ability truly is, Naruto carved up the deer and left the forest with a storage scroll filled with deer meat.
A week passes and Naruto is meeting with Inoichi once again. When he arrived at the Yamanaka household, Inoichi was out so he spent some time with Ino. Naruto told her about the training and his goal of being the youngest Hokage ever. Ino told him about the flowers around the house, as her family owned a flower shop. While they were touring the flowers, Inoichi arrived.
"Sorry, I'm late. I had to speak to a few clan members." Inoichi says with an apologetic expression.
"No problem, Inoichi. Ino was keeping me entertained while you were away. Can we speak somewhere more private?"
"Yes, follow me." He says and goes to lead the way, but turns to look at his daughter. "No eavesdropping this time."
"Hey, I said I was sorry about that already!"
