Konoha: Starting with a sign-in for Hashirama cells

Knowing that it's the third generation distributing benefits, you can't just not do this show; you have to do it seriously.

As Shuimu said, the process of successfully obtaining the Book of Seals was uneventful.

Not knowing if he could finish watching, or how long he could watch, Naruto didn't waste any time traveling. He created several shadow clones and watched as he ran.

Not for understanding, but simply to memorize the content.

"What do you mean by 'can't see'?" Naruto asked, puzzled, after hearing the shadow clone's words.

"Literally, there's a sealing technique on this; it can't be broken, and we can't see it," the shadow clone said.

Naruto stepped closer and discovered that several parts of the Scroll of Seals that had been unfolded were blurry and indistinct, and even the names of the techniques could not be seen.

"Is this what the Third Hokage prepared? Some forbidden techniques with great harm and endless consequences have been locked away in advance," Naruto said thoughtfully.

Arrive at Konoha Forest, dive in, and venture deep into it.

"The art of shadow clone."

Unfold the Book of Seals completely and lay it flat on the ground.

Dozens of shadow clones lay nearby, reciting what they could see by the bright moonlight.

Naruto sat on an empty spot to the side, closed his eyes, and cleared his mind.

Be prepared for a massive influx of memories.

Time passed second by second, and suddenly, the shadow clone that had memorized a technique first deactivated itself, and all the memories returned to Naruto.

"Shuriken Shadow Clone".

Then came the second and third.

"Mutual Explosion Tags, Water Escape, Water Severing Wave."

One memory after another flooded back, making Naruto's forehead throb.

Before dispelling itself, the last shadow clone rolled up the Book of Seals and placed it next to its original body.

After a long while, Naruto put down his hands that were rubbing his temples, went through his memories, and made a summary.

Escape techniques with attributes.

Four Water Release techniques: Hard Vortex Water Blade, Great Explosive Water Shock Wave, Water Severing Wave, and Water Dragon Bite Explosion.

Two Fire Release techniques: Fire Dragon Bullet and Fire Dragon Flame Bullet.

Three Earth Escape Techniques: Earth Dragon Bullet, Earth Flow City Wall, and Earth Flow Great River.

Four Wood Release techniques: Advent of the Tree World, Wood Dragon Technique, Wood Human Technique, True Thousand Hands.

Ninjutsu that does not possess any elemental attribute.

Spiritualization Technique, Mutual Explosive Tags, Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique, Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, Chakra Sensing Technique, Flying Thunder God Technique, Fivefold Rashomon.

"Rasengan plus Ultimate Nature Transformation is an S-rank ninjutsu. There's no need to learn any more advanced Five Elements Release techniques. The five release techniques I've already mastered are enough."

First, eliminate the Water Release, Earth Release, and Fire Release, which make up the majority.

"As for Wood Release, with the perfect fusion of Hashirama's cells, I have a gut feeling that I can use it," Naruto thought to himself, looking at his hands.

"But for the sake of rationality, I will wait until I have completed the changes in the properties of water and soil before showing them, and then I will say that I synthesized them myself."

The remaining ninjutsu that do not possess any elemental attributes.

Flying Thunder God Technique is a must-learn.

The Spirit Transformation Technique, an S-rank ninjutsu that involves the soul leaving the body, is quite interesting.

It requires the use of the Multiplicative Explosive Talisman in conjunction with the Impure World Reincarnation technique, which has certain limitations.

The Fivefold Rashomon can only block attacks from one direction. With the Flying Thunder God Technique, there's no need to learn it.

Chakra Sensing Technique allows one to sense life responses and chakra responses, much like radar.

You need to learn.

It's very useful whether you're looking for someone or trying to hide from someone.

"This wave has really made me rich," Naruto remarked.

Once he digests all of this, his strength, even without using the Nine-Tails' power, will definitely be at the Kage level.

If he mastered Wood Release and learned Sage Mode, he would be at full power and would definitely surpass Kage level.

"So, how much have you learned from those forbidden techniques?" Shui Mu appeared and smiled.

"I've read everything I could. I'm not in a hurry to learn it. I'll memorize it first and then practice it slowly when I get back," Naruto said with a smile.

Shui Mu Leng, have you already finished reading and memorized it?

That dead fox demon was quite lucky; before it died, it obtained so many powerful forbidden techniques.

Unfortunately, their good luck came to an end.

Despite his inner thoughts, Mizuki maintained a gentle smile as he approached Naruto: "Alright, time's up. Give me the Scroll of Seals, and then..."

When he got close enough to be about a meter away, Mizuki, who thought he had a sure kill, suddenly made his move.

呲!

"Huh? He actually dodged it! Naruto-kun, why did you dodge? Wouldn't it be better to just die peacefully without pain?" Mizuki said regretfully.

Naruto clutched his injured left arm, backing away while feigning terror as he looked at Mizuki: "Sensei! Why? Why?!"

Picking up the Book of Seals and strapping it to his back, Mizuki smirked and said coldly, "Why should I kill you? That's because..."

Chapter 24 The Day of Class Assignment

You deserve to die!

Mizuki flicked the blood off his shuriken and looked at Naruto with a mocking expression.

"You really thought this was some special treatment for you? Haha, Naruto, no, you fox spirit, you've made a huge mistake."

"Having experienced so much malice from childhood to adulthood, how could you believe what I say? Who do you think you are? You're nothing but a monster."

"A monster with no father or mother, of unknown origin, that should never have existed."

"Is that all?" Naruto felt bored and wanted to go home and sleep as soon as possible to prepare for tomorrow's intense training.

On the surface, they had no choice but to continue acting, since three generations of this audience were watching this play.

“I know how much people hate and reject me, but just because of that, you plotted to frame me for stealing and even tried to kill me. Aren’t you afraid of being discovered and found out?”

"How will you live in the village then?"

"You're quite self-aware," Shui Mu scoffed.

"Unfortunately, your vision is still too narrow. With the Book of Sealing, the ninja world is so vast, where can't you go? Why confine yourself to this small Konoha?"

"With that person here, I have no fear of being hunted down by the Anbu. On the contrary, I will have a brighter future than in Konoha. Most importantly, I will have power."

"Is power really that important? Would you be willing to give up everything and become a traitor for it?" Naruto asked, feigning incomprehension.

"Don't you care about your family and friends?"

"Although I also value strength and want to become stronger, it's for the sake of becoming a Jonin, becoming Hokage, and protecting my hard-won friends."

"I can't abandon my friends and betray my village to become stronger."

Naruto himself almost believed the act.

But to be honest, if he had to choose between power and friendship, he would choose friendship.

Even if you lose your strength, you can still regain it through hard work and find ways to do so.

If you lose a friendship, you will regret it for the rest of your life.

"Tsk tsk tsk, so you're still too young and don't understand the truth of the ninja world." Mizuki shook his head.

"Seriously, why am I wasting so much time talking to you? It's getting late, go to hell!"

Naruto shifted to the side, dodging the shuriken while simultaneously forming hand seals with lightning speed.

"Earth escape, earth flow wall."

A mud wall carved with four dog heads rose abruptly from the ground.

While the hard earthen wall remained unchanged, the four dog heads on it quickly softened, stretched their necks, opened their mouths, and bit down on Shui Mu's arms and legs respectively.

Then it was taken back and transformed into something as hard as an earthen wall.

Thus, Shui Mu, bound to the earthen wall in a T-shape, could not easily break free.

Without his hands apart, he can forget about using ninjutsu as he can't form hand seals with one hand.

The chakra burst forth, injecting a large amount of chakra into the Earth Flow Wall, which was originally designed for defense, making its destruction virtually impossible.

"Sorry to disappoint you, I won't die, and you won't succeed. Also, I'm not a demon fox, I'm Naruto Uzumaki."

Naruto emerged from behind the earthen wall and took the Book of Seals from Mizuki's back.

Facing the earthen wall, his nose red from bumping it, Mizuki turned to Naruto as if he'd seen a ghost: "You! You you you!"

After Naruto sent his shadow clones to find the Third Hokage, and with the arrival of the Third Hokage, the Anbu, and several Chunin instructors, the matter was considered to have come to an end.

The Third Generation, who had been watching the entire process through a crystal ball, completely ignored Mizuki's excuses.

The evidence gathered by the Anbu against Mizuki not only convicted him but also proved Naruto's innocence.

After retrieving the Book of Seals, asking a few symbolic questions, he sent Naruto back to rest.

On his way home, Naruto thought that the Third Hokage probably knew he was spying on him with the crystal ball, and was very satisfied with what the Third Hokage had said.

"Wow, it's almost four in the morning. Why bother sleeping? I'm not sleepy anyway. Let's go for a walk in the back mountain."

Back home, Naruto glanced at the time on his alarm clock, then went out again, heading straight for the back mountain.

As the clock struck ten in the morning, the noisy classroom quieted down after Iruka entered.

"Before we assign classes, let me ask you this: have you all registered your ninja numbers? I don't think anyone would forget, right? It's such an important thing," Iruka said.

He couldn't help but glance at Naruto a few more times, and thinking of Mizuki, he couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

"I registered. I went to do it first thing this morning."
