After discussing their plan, they all returned to their rooms. Even though Naruto was still small, he had already asked for his own space instead of sharing a room with his mother.
At first, Kushina had been heartbroken. She had clutched him dramatically, pretending to wipe away imaginary tears. "Naruto, you don't love me anymore? Are you already leaving your poor mother behind?" she wailed, making a scene.
Naruto sighed, knowing exactly what she was doing. "Mom… it's not that. I just want my own space. It doesn't mean I love you any less."
Still, she had pouted, dragging it out as long as she could. But in the end, with great reluctance, she had finally agreed.
And so, Naruto had his room—his own space to think, to dream, and to prepare for the future he was determined to build.
That night, as Naruto lay in his bed, staring at the ceiling, he couldn't help but reflect on everything that had happened. His mind raced with plans, possibilities, and the weight of the path he had chosen.
He had a family—one that truly cared for him. But he also had a responsibility. The Uzumaki name wasn't just his; it belonged to those who were lost, those who were still out there, waiting to be found.
His mother's reaction earlier had made him smile, but deep down, he knew why he wanted his own space. It wasn't just about independence—it was about preparing for what was to come. He couldn't afford to remain a child forever.
Still, he felt a pang of guilt.
Mom must have been lonely after Dad died.
But he wasn't going to leave her behind. No matter what happened, she would always be his home.
As sleep slowly crept in, Naruto made a silent vow.
I will bring our clan back. I will make sure Mom never has to be alone again. And I will build a future where no one has to suffer like before.
With that final thought, his eyes closed, and he drifted into sleep, ready to face whatever tomorrow would bring.

Overall Description: Chunin Level but still a canon fodder. Become strong.
Naruto frowned at the words flashing before him.
"Canon fodder?" he repeated in disbelief.
Aurora's voice chimed in, a hint of amusement in her tone.
[Well, compared to the monsters you'll be facing in the future, you're still just a small fry.]
Naruto clicked his tongue in irritation. "Chunin level, huh? That's not good enough."
[At least your physique is exceptional. The Perfect Sage Body gives you a natural affinity for Senjutsu, high stamina, and rapid recovery. But your skill levels? Still too low.]
Naruto sighed. He knew he had been improving, but seeing it so plainly laid out made him realize just how far he had to go.
"So, what do I focus on first?"
[That depends. Do you want to train your combat skills, or do you want to dive deeper into your clan's legacy? Your Fuinjutsu is barely at level 1.5—you won't be restoring the Uzumaki Clan with skills like that.]
Naruto clenched his fists. He wanted to be strong, not just for himself, but for everyone relying on him. I need to do both. No point in having a clan if I'm not strong enough to protect it.
Aurora hummed in approval.
[Smart choice. Then prepare yourself, Naruto. From tomorrow, we're going all out.]
A determined smirk formed on Naruto's lips.
"Bring it on."
"Hey, Aurora, will Karin still be in Kusagakure?" Naruto asked, a flicker of hope in his voice.
[She will be. She's the same age as you. It was only after she turned seven that her mother died. So, for now, she should still be in Kusagakure.]
Naruto's eyes widened. I can save her…
A surge of determination coursed through him. He had the chance to change things—to prevent the suffering she would endure in the future.
"What about Haku? Would I be able to save him?" he asked eagerly. If he could save Karin, maybe he could do the same for Haku.
[It's not possible. Haku is already older than you. By the time he was five, Zabuza had already taken him in.]
Naruto fell silent.
A bitter feeling settled in his chest. Even though he hadn't met Haku personally, he knew the pain the boy had suffered—alone, unwanted, until Zabuza found him.
"I was too late…" he muttered. His heart ached, knowing he couldn't change Haku's past.
[Naruto, you can't save everyone.]
Naruto's heart swelled with determination as he learned that at least he could save Karin.
"At least I can prevent one tragedy," he thought.
But then, hearing that Haku was already beyond his reach, his excitement dimmed slightly.
"So, some fates are already sealed..."
Still, he clenched his fists, his resolve strengthening.
"I may not be able to change everything, but I won't stand by and watch those I can save suffer."
He turned his gaze upward as if looking beyond his inner world.
"Karin… wait for me. This time, things will be different."
Since he had at most three years to save Karin, every second counted. But that wasn't his only concern—within those same three years, the Uchiha Massacre would take place.
Naruto exhaled, his mind racing.
"The future is gonna be a hell of a ride."
He wasn't just a spectator anymore. He wasn't going to stand by and let things unfold as they had before. No, he would disrupt everything that fate—or rather, that damn KF4—had planned.
But it wasn't just about stopping tragedies.
If he wanted true freedom to act, he needed power—not just as a shinobi, but in influence and resources.
"My business empire needs to be built."
And who better to help him than Tsunade? With her knowledge and connections, he could lay the foundations of something far greater than just being a ninja.
A smirk played on his lips.
"Time to change everything."
