Naruto appeared in front of his house with the Body Flicker Technique and opened the door. He created a clone that cooked him dinner as he went to the bathroom for a bath.
After coming out of it, he put on his pajamas and started eating his dinner. After finishing his dinner, he went to his bed and spoke.

Looking at his current stats, he is genuinely happy. His Chakra Reserved had increased by 500 entirely due to the Chakra Control Exercise.
This was a bonus point. Since not only his Chakra Control has increased by a lot, but he also managed to level up thanks to his previous quest.
It is rather a hard quest. He had to make the Hokage believe that the change in his personality wasn't something he had been hiding for long.
In addition, he had to keep the System's existence completely. That forced him to make a proper plan the entire night.
Since an entire Tailed Beast can store inside the seal, what else they could do? He thought about it and decided to blame his increased smartness on a seal.
After all, he had a lot of enemies in the village since many people didn't like him and even tried to kill him.
Thanks to that idea, not only did he manage to learn about his mother but he also had a chance to get his heritage soon.
Of course, he also understood why the Old Man had to hide these things from him.
Although it made him quite sad, it was a plausible explanation. After thinking for a moment, he decided to create five clones.
"Isn't it nighttime? Why did you call us? Can't we just sleep?" One of the clones asked with a confused look.
Because Gamer Mind would only affect him, his clones were still idiots. But, thanks to his increasing intelligence, he managed to make them a bit smarter.
"You guys are Chakra Construct. You don't sleep. Besides, don't forget your purpose is to make me stronger so that next time, I call you, you will be much stronger."
Although it was quite an underhanded tactic to make his clones work, he had no other choice. They were still idiots.
"Right! If I get stronger, you will be stronger then we will all get stronger." The first clone smacked his palm with his fist and nodded.
"Good! Since I only made five clones, you have a lot of Chakra. Your goal is to remember these scrolls. Three Wind Release Jutsu and a Wind Nature Transformation Exercise Scroll."
"You don't have to master it since it shouldn't be possible to master it so quickly. But, I want you guys to memorize and at least practice these things. Also, don't take these scrolls outside. Wait till it's' morning and dispel one after another."
"Unlike Tree Climbing, it might cause me a lot of headaches if you dispel them at once. Understood?"
"Alright! Alright! You don't have to act smart. We know you are dumb. We are you, idiot." The second clone nonchalantly spoke and took a scroll in his hand.
"Wait, there are only four scrolls. What about the fifth clone?" The Third clone asked.
"Because while four of you only have to remember one thing, the fifth clone has a lot of things to remember. He won't practice any of those but he will definitely all of them."
"So, I want the fifth clone to remain inside the house and memorize the Jutsu in this scroll."
He took out the scroll that the Third Hokage gave him and gave it to the fifth clone. All of them sat down and opened the scrolls and started reading them.
The main body finally went to bed and fell asleep.
Since all of them could use the Body Flicker Technique, they didn't disturb his sleep.
Next Morning,
Naruto woke up with a mild headache. As he slowly decided to calm down, the memories of his first clone came to his mind.
It turned out one of the Chunin Guard found him training in the woods. Because that chunin tried to attack him, he had no choice but to dispel himself.
And, this clone was the one training one of the Wind Release Jutsu. Fortunately, other clones weren't found out that easily. They were practicing far from each other so nobody noticed them.
As soon as the sun's rays hit his eyes, his other clones also began to dispel one after another.
Fortunately, they kept the time to five minutes.
Finally, the fifth clone looked at him and asked.
"I have finished reading everything but except for the first three Jutsu, I do not understand any of the others. All I know is that they are Sealing Techniques."
Hearing his words, Naruto nodded and the clone dispelled itself. Soon, he got the entire memories of the clone.
This time he didn't suffer any kind of headache. In fact, a smile appeared on his lips.
"Old Man, you truly know me. The Jutsu that you gave is perfect for me. I don't even need training to use them."
Naruto happily stood up and went to the washroom to finish his morning routine. After that, he finished breakfast.
He checked his new closet which had quite a few new clothes. One of them was a simple black and orange jacket while the pant was dark blue and orange.
His obsession with orange didn't go away but he still wanted to try new Clothes. After putting his Kunai and Shurikens inside the pouch, he finally walked out of the apartment.
He made nearly fifteen shadow clones let them change into random people and asked them to enter the library.
He walked toward the academy. While on the road, he got quite a lot of glares, it was a lot less than before.
It seems like Orange truly made him an eyesore.
After ten minutes, he finally reached the academy class.
He opened the door and suddenly, it was silent for a moment. He just walked in nonchalantly with his hands behind his head.
"Is that you, Naruto? What's up with new clothes? And, where are you even here?" A loud voice got his attention.
This person was none other than his friend/rival Kiba. He had two marks on his cheek and a dog on his head.
"Kiba, did you know today is not yesterday?" Naruto asked while turning around.
"Did you get hit on your head? Of course, today is not yesterday." Kiba rolled his eyes and spoke.
"Then, you must understand. New things always happen on a new day. If you keep living in the past, you will never understand the present. And, that's why I am here." Naruto spoke and walked toward an empty seat.
Kiba stood there confused before angrily rushing towards Naruto.
"Damn it, Naruto! What the hell does that have anything to do with you being here? And, when did you learn to be so philosophical?" Kiba shouted while slamming his hand on the table.
Now everyone's attention was on him. Normally, Naruto would've loved that. He did everything to gain the attention and now doing almost nothing, he had the eyes of the entire class on him.
But, current Naruto didn't care. It was just curiosity, not the respect that he was getting.
"Kiba, let's just say that you had a friend yesterday and today, you learned that he is dead."
Suddenly, the atmosphere of the classroom went cold. But, Naruto didn't stop.
"Let's just say that you had a teacher yesterday who is always good to you but today you found that he was secretly a traitor."
Once again, the temperature of the classroom continued to drop.
"Let's just say that you had a girlfriend yesterday, but today you learned that she was cheating behind your back."
Now, this was where the girls were a bit angry at him.
"But if you are asking how I graduated, let me get you a short summary. I got lost in the road of life. But it turns out I got lost in the forest."
Suddenly, the depressed atmosphere lightened once again. Some even had a chance to snicker at his words.
"But then I found a traitor and a comrade fighting against each other. Some nasty stuff happened and I ended up fighting that traitor. I lost at first but realized if I lose then it wasn't just me who would die but also my comrade."
"So, I fought, not for myself but for my comrade, and took my first step to become a Ninja."
Suddenly, the atmosphere turned cold as Naruto leaked a little bit of Killing Intent. While he was a dead last no doubt and he accepted it. He still wanted to change that. So, he said with those cold eyes.
"I killed the traitor, Kiba."
