It wasn't a matter of trust really so much as I finally uood just how bad it would be for someoo figure it out before I reached a certain level of power after searg for information on sages. Sage hood tier sort of power in this world acc to what I found and ohat very few shinobi have every had the ability to reach but that tless wish for. If the world learned I was a natural born sage my life would basically be over as wars might be started just to get rid of or to possess me.-

  Not to mention I very much doubted that the vilge wouldn't try it's hardest to figure out how i am a sage as well even if it meant my owh. I wasn't stupid, all this "will of fire" talks and speeches that regurly get drilled into the heads of everyone in the academy was basically brainwashing. It was subtle of course but the fact remaihat it was desigo turn people into the willing soldiers of the vilge willing to do whatever it took to help their rades.-

  To top it off I was fairly certain that everyone past a certain age knew about it and merely saw it as normal and not ing at all. Look I could uand why it was done sininjas were basically ons of mass destru at Jonin and beyond levels from the records I saw and thus o be trolled. My whole issue was that this same brainwashing was a massive threat to my life if my secret ever got out past myself before I was too powerful for it to matter. The funny part is I didn't have any doubts that if given enough time I would reach that level of power.-

  Every part of my body at a geic level was getting refined and perfected every sed I was in sage mode in a VERY slow but tinual march forward. As I matured physically it became clear to me that pario anyone around me ointless. My skin, muscles, bones and ans were all much denser and more powerful than anyone I had ever seen giving me durability like I was made of stone and strength like a bear on steroids.-

  My brain and chakra work were also highly effit and worked faster than anyone I could find. The closest I could find as far as brain funing was Shikamaru and nobody in terms of chakra work. All of this was also improving the ot which was why it was so easy for me to improve my chakra trol and to learn and remember new information. With advantages like this it would be a joke if I didn't bee powerful given enough time. Despite these advantages however I was not a fwless existehat just naturally was more skilled then everyone else without any effort. -

  Quite the trary in fact as while I did indeed require less effort than others to improve I did o put in some effort as well. A good example would be my current issue of hitting a bottleney chakra trol training. The standard practices of holding a leaf on my head, walking up a tree and on water had stopped giving as despite adding handicaps and rules to the training as well. For the leaf training I attached a leaf to eay limbs including my head and theo practice with my cat form that should have shaken them off for any other ninja without strict trol of their chakra.-

  Despite moving about and creating a vast amount of winds from wiance as I went all out using the form I stopped having issues keeping the leaves ier a few dozen failures. Then I moved on to tree walking where I taught myself how to climb using only the tips of my toes and fingers and even how to do so silently while moving at full speed. I could go from the ground pletely still to the top of a tree without a sound using only my finger and toe tips in an instant after failing to pull it off about thirty seven times.-

  The trick there recise application of a rge amount of chakra from those points that I dispersed and reapplied in the split sed before my fingers and toes would touch the tree. Finally was my water walking training that was basically just my tree walking training but on a surface that moved under me and wasn't solid. It only took me twelve tries to get it down though and I started practig uer movement instead.-

  It was a bit different then one would imagine as the water didn't like someoh air in them being u as a matter of buoyancy. The trick was that you had to "grab" the water under your feet and turn it solid with your chakra before pushing off of it. I found that creating a yer of chakra on top of your skin also greatly reduced the drag from moving thus allowing rapid movements uer. I used the pond nearby my house for this particur training muy parents irritation since I caused a lot of water dispt until I got it down.-

  At the end of all this training was me who now had a frankly freakish level of trol over my own chakra acc to my parents and Mito but was unhappy because it still wasn't perfect. I still wasted minute amounts of chakra each time I used it simply due to how damned hard it was to only use a small amount of my massive reserve. Neji and Hinata weren't shy about using their Byakugan and as a result the fact my chakra reserve was sed only to Naruto ubliowledge and in addition to my being the undisputed stro in my css lead to a ype of problem, women.-

  After Sasuke turned into an asshole that was single mindedly chasing power for revenge a great deal of the girls my age and even slightly older started trying to get my attention. Amongst them was Ino who unlike Sakura figured out that she didn't have a shot with mr. grumpy and chose to pursue another and arguably better option, I was not pleased. I may have been the same age as her teically but mentally I was muature and thus refused to even think of eaining romail a girl was at least sixteen.

  In other words I made it bluntly clear that I wouldn't be even vaguely ied for aen years at minimum. The irritating part was that she didn't care at all and still tried to get my attention whenever she could. I ended up using my so keep her at a distance which caused Iruka sensei and I to have a disagreement. He found threatening my cssmates uable and I found his disagreement of it uable, the principal ended up getting involved and a promise was met. I couldn't threaten a Iruka had to stop Ino from b me as well.
