Konoha: Starting with a sign-in for Hashirama cells

Naruto's progress in strength is rapid, far surpassing that of his peers, but this comes at the cost of many sacrifices.

Among them, the bonds that the Third Hokage valued most were the five friends he made when he started school. However, due to Naruto's obsessive training attitude, he neglected them, and their relationship gradually faded.

Secondly, there's academics. After a year of school, getting zero on every test is unacceptable.

Even if someone is strong in one area, at best they're only a genin.

Only those with both strength and wisdom can be promoted to Chunin or Jonin. Considering the factors of leading a team, wisdom is actually given even greater importance.

After much thought, the third generation muttered to himself, "It seems we still have to use what he cares about most as bait."

That night.

Naruto dragged his tired body home, his mind foggy and feeling dizzy.

The bag she was carrying emitted the aroma of curry rice, which she had bought on her way back using her transformation ability.

With the Transformation Jutsu, there's no need to go through the hassle of using women's clothing, wigs, or other props; you can transform simply by having chakra.

After washing his hands, just as he was about to start eating, a knock sounded at the door, forcing Naruto to put down his chopsticks and go to open it.

"Naruto." The Third Hokage sniffed and smiled, "It smells so good, are you having dinner?"

"Hmm, has Grandpa eaten?" Naruto asked.

"I've already eaten. I came to talk to you about something." The third generation said, "You can eat yours, it won't bother you."

Naruto had a guess in mind, suppressed the urge to smile, returned to the low table, and enjoyed his chicken curry rice.

The Third Hokage sat opposite Naruto, watching him eat and chatting casually.

When he felt it was about time, he got to the point: "I've already made the pros and cons very clear. Are you still sticking to your opinion?"

"I will dedicate myself wholeheartedly to becoming the strongest Jonin, the strongest Hokage, and attract everyone's attention so that they will no longer ignore me," Naruto said.

"This is my way of the ninja."

"If learning is useful, why is it that no one can beat me in real combat? I think fists are more effective."

Chapter 10 Helpless

After hearing Naruto's words, the Third Hokage knew that he could not wait any longer and had to correct Naruto's values ​​while he was still young.

Reasoning with him is useless; empty talk won't interest Naruto.

“You still have five years of school time,” the third generation said.

"No shadow clones allowed, no cheating, and you must rank in the top three in the written test. For each year you maintain this, you will be given a new ninjutsu."

"The first three years are C-rank ninjutsu, then B-rank, and in the final year, which is the year of graduation, in addition to the basic B-rank ninjutsu, I will also teach you how to create your own S-rank ninjutsu."

"Grandpa, I have a question for you." Naruto.

"What?" The third generation.

"Am I your illegitimate child?" Naruto asked.

"!?" Third generation.

"See? They've always been so good to me, guiding me away from the wrong path. If they weren't family, I wouldn't understand why." Naruto.

Upon hearing this, the Third Hokage was both amused and exasperated: "Can't figure it out? You'll understand when you become Hokage in the future."

“You children are the future of the village. I pay attention to each and every one of them and provide appropriate assistance.”

"Oh, I thought the Hokage was my dad. What a disappointment," Naruto muttered under his breath.

The third generation's face stiffened, and he coughed dryly, saying, "In short, these are the conditions. What do you say?"

"What else is there to say? Of course, we'll do it!" Naruto nodded vigorously. "Why wouldn't we take a free reward?"

"So confident?" the Third Generation chuckled.

Naruto shoveled a couple of mouthfuls of rice into his mouth and mumbled, "I'm super confident."

"Alright, I won't disturb your rest any longer. You look so tired, go to sleep early." The Third Generation got up and took his leave.

"Grandpa, wait, I've already mastered the Water Wall technique, and it's indeed very powerful," Naruto said.

Thinking of Naruto's Water Barrier, the Third Hokage's lips twitched.

"I'd like to ask, is there any way to increase the power to another level?" Naruto asked.

The third generation walked to the entrance to put on his shoes, his voice calm and unhurried: "Of course there is, it's the reward for the last year."

The final year's reward refers to the method of creating an S-rank ninjutsu? Naruto seemed to be deep in thought.

"Catching up from a year behind isn't going to be easy," the Third Generation thought to himself.

"You'll inevitably need to ask teachers and classmates for help. No matter who it is, you'll gradually develop feelings for them over time, and that creates a bond, doesn't it?"

Thinking of this, the third generation's lips curled up slightly.

After watching the Third Hokage leave, Naruto closed the door, returned to the low table, and continued eating, a smile still playing on his lips.

The plan goes through!

He deliberately neglected his studies and neglected his friendships, all for this day.

“The cultivation of control can be done entirely by shadow clones. One more of me makes no difference, and one less of me makes no difference.”

"The Water Array Wall lacks property transformation and can only be used in places with water. Let the Shadow Clone study its uses and find a way to solve its drawbacks."

"Shadow clones can't be used for physical training. I still need to do that part myself. I need to make sure I train for two hours every day. If I don't improve, at least I shouldn't regress."

Naruto hadn't forgotten the sign-in system, but he also wouldn't forget that he was under the Third Hokage's surveillance.

Without a suitable reason, it's inconvenient to contact others, and it would be terrible to arouse suspicion.

It's true that the Third Hokage is a good person, but that's on the premise that you pose no threat to Konoha. If there are any signs that are beyond his control, the consequences will be unimaginable.

As of now, Naruto's gains from the sign-in system are as follows.

He was born with perfect Hashirama cells, which he obtained from Obito Uchiha.

Not long after, he signed in again from the third generation and obtained the Corpse Demon Seal.

A year ago, around the time I was six years old and had just started school, I went to Sasuke's and others' homes for meals. During the process, I naturally made physical contact with the target and completed the check-in.

The mothers helped him pick out the food, and he thanked them, though his arm was slightly bruised.

Among them, the Fire Release technique, Great Fireball, was obtained from Sasuke's mother, Mikoto.

I got the Transformation Jutsu from Shikamaru's mother.

I signed up for the Beast Ninja Technique from Ya's mother.

Kiba also has an older sister who contributed a medical ninjutsu to Naruto.

Sakura's mother and Choji's mother got nothing.

In addition, Naruto also signed for the Shadow Clone Jutsu from Iruka, while Mizuki signed for the Substitution Jutsu.

It has not been repeated.

As for Sasuke, Sakura, Shikamaru, Choji, and the others, Naruto plans to wait until they grow up and have more abilities before signing in.

The next day.

After breakfast, Naruto, as usual, sent his shadow clones to the ninja academy while he went to the back mountain to train.

After walking a distance, he suddenly realized what had happened, hurriedly caught up with the shadow clone, and retrieved his backpack.

First, they went to the back mountain to release a large number of shadow clones, and then began their training as planned, before rushing to the Ninja Academy with all their might.

Paper wrapped fire.

Parents who know that Naruto is in the same class as their child, but are powerless to change the situation, repeatedly tell their children not to talk to or have contact with Naruto.

Therefore, when Naruto entered the classroom and sat down, from the first class to the third class, all he experienced in the morning was being ignored and indifferent.

They ignored the students.

Indifference is the teacher's nature.

The coldness hidden in their eyes was frightening.

Naruto wiped his face with his hand, trying to calm himself down.

He lowered his hand, put on a smile, took a few deep breaths to clear his mind of all distractions, and got up to find someone.

"Judging from the direction he left, he should be on the rooftop," Naruto thought to himself.

Pushing open the door and peeking out, I saw Shikamaru lying in the shade, enjoying a pleasant afternoon nap.

"Hey, Shikamaru, have you eaten yet? If not, let's eat together," Naruto greeted him.

Shikamaru opened his eyes and glanced at Naruto.

I recalled what my dad had said.

When dealing with Naruto, don't actively approach him, but don't reject him either; just let things take their natural course.

"What's up?" Shikamaru asked.

Naruto wanted to say a few more polite words, but then he realized that beating around the bush with a smart person was really unnecessary.

"Okay." Naruto said, "I want to get in the top three in the written test. I hope you can tutor me. I'll pay you."

"If I remember correctly, you always hand in a blank paper," Shikamaru said.

Naruto nodded.

"Is it because you're too lazy to write, or do you simply not know how?" Shikamaru asked.

"No," Naruto said.

"..." Shikamaru.

Just thinking about it for a moment, the trouble of tutoring Naruto was beyond his capacity to handle.

"I want to help you, but there's nothing I can do," Shikamaru said helplessly.

"I guess you don't even look at other people's grades and rankings. I'm fifteenth in my class, barely passing."

"If you want me to tutor you and help you get into the top three, you could kill me and I still couldn't do it."
