Naruto: Two opponents versus Naruto, Konoha panics!

"Is that all?"

[Naruto asked.]

Kakashi was taken aback. Was there anything else he had forgotten?

Naruto's lips curled slightly. "Now that we've passed the test, shouldn't there be a reward?"

"For example, rewarding someone with a certain ninjutsu."

Upon hearing this, Kakashi suddenly understood.

I couldn't help but feel annoyed with myself; how could I have forgotten such a reasonable reward?

"Very well, so what kind of reward do you want?"

[When he spoke, Kakashi was looking at Naruto.]

Naruto remained silent for a moment.

Feeling the time was right, he said:

"Shadow Clone Technique, Multiple Shadow Clone Technique."

"I feel that the Shadow Clone Technique suits me very well."

"I overheard of the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, a technique derived from the Shadow Clone Technique."

Kakashi was taken aback.

[Then the effect of multiple shadow clones appeared in my mind.]

Looking at Naruto, who possessed an immense amount of chakra, he nodded secretly.

Indeed, the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique suits Naruto very well.

However... the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique is a forbidden technique.

However, since Naruto has spoken, he must be confident.

[Furthermore, this is the first time Naruto has spoken, so Kakashi naturally wouldn't refuse.]

[Afterwards, Kakashi looked at Sasuke and Sakura.]

【"snort!"】

"The goal is simply to become stronger, the stronger the better. There are no other requirements."

Sasuke said coldly.

Sasuke still didn't treat Kakashi well.

Don't advise others to be kind if you haven't experienced their suffering. Otherwise, you might get hit by a Thousand Years of Death and still be laughing it off. Show that to Sasuke.

"I want to systematically learn medical ninjutsu."

"A medical ninja should be included in each squad."

"My conditions are most met."

"Oh?!" Kakashi blinked.

Looking at Sakura, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

[Such a high level of awareness?]

Hmm...it's probably because he hangs out with Naruto.

【"very good."】

"The rewards you requested are all reasonable."

"Well then, let's talk about this tomorrow."

"That concludes today's task. Congratulations again on passing the assessment."

"Wait, Kakashi-sensei, shouldn't you be treating us to a meal as usual?" Sakura asked innocently.

Kakashi's eye twitched slightly.

Yesterday, he almost emptied his wallet just by eating at Ichiraku Ramen.

If it were a different restaurant today... like a barbecue place, Kakashi would have to declare bankruptcy later.

At this moment.

Iruka felt his eyes welling up with tears.

That's great!

Finally, someone understands my pain.

woohoo~

The self within the black-framed world, ever since accepting Naruto's identity.

I haven't bought a single new piece of clothing since.

The scattered images are almost there, showing myself in a black-framed world, even my underwear is tattered.

[After disbanding.]

Kakashi rushed to the Hokage Building without stopping.

Whether he was the sole survivor of the Uchiha clan or the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki.

These are all crucial aspects of this class assignment process.

Kakashi needed to be informed of everything, big or small, frequently.

However, when filling out the report, Kakashi crossed out a lot of unnecessary information.

[They even changed a lot of the content.]

For example, today's battle.

Kakashi only described the performance of three people.

[He did not mention his own situation.]

Otherwise, given Naruto's demonstrated strength, there's a high possibility that his understanding might differ from Hiruzen Sarutobi's, and sending someone to monitor him would be unwise.

Kakashi was thinking about how to make it reasonable for Naruto to obtain the forbidden technique, Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.

This technique is perfect for Naruto.

[If Naruto gets it, even Kakashi wouldn't dare say he could keep the situation under control today.]

One person can form an army.

Kakashi had no doubt whatsoever.

However, neither Kakashi nor Naruto knew that Hiruzen Sarutobi had already harbored this idea.

[Especially seeing her good-for-nothing son, who still hasn't managed to completely defeat a mere illusionist ninja.]

Hiruzen Sarutobi was furious.

[These past few years, with so many big and small issues arising, it's starting to feel overwhelmed.]

The matter of becoming the Fifth Hokage cannot be rushed, but the appointment of a future Hokage can be brought forward somewhat.

【...】

[After disbanding.]

The three of them also did not remain in Exercise Field No. 7.

"Let's go, Class 8 and Class 10 should have finished their assessments by now."

Sakura nodded repeatedly.

Today's assessment made her nervous all night.

Now that it's approved, she breathed a sigh of relief, but also looked forward to the party that evening.

The third shift has been resting for the past few days.

There is plenty of time.

[Perfect timing to celebrate together.]

Sasuke was somewhat surprised to see that Naruto and Sakura were no longer the smooth talkers they had been just moments before, after Kakashi left.

But then, Sasuke fell silent again.

For a moment, instead of leaving immediately to continue his training, he silently followed behind Naruto.

【certainly.】

Perhaps, after realizing Naruto's strength, he regretted his arrogance over the past few years.

Or perhaps... this person is also a proud and aloof individual, whose taste buds have been conquered by a certain blond-haired guy.

"Why are you still following us?" Sakura frowned slightly, turned around and asked, her tone not very friendly.

In fact, Sakura had already seen through Sasuke's little scheme.

However, as always, sometimes, when Naruto directly intervenes, the effect isn't as good.

Sakura, quite consciously, took the blame for these things upon herself.

"Well, what can I do? I'm in the same class as Naruto."

If Ino and Tenten heard this, she might regret it all night.

On the other side.

[Inside the sixth training ground.]

【suck--】

Asuma exhales a puff of smoke.

Looking at the three people in front of him, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and he nodded involuntarily.

【"very nice."】

"You two are the strongest genin combination I've ever seen."

"Congratulations, you've passed the test."

Upon hearing this, none of the three showed any surprise.

[He made no comment regarding Asuma's praise.]

Ino frowned slightly, glancing at Asuma with a hint of disdain.

Asuma paused, then shook his head and smiled, preparing to extinguish the cigarette he had just lit.

"Well then, to celebrate, how about I treat you all to barbecue?"

After thinking it over, Asuma felt it was still necessary to maintain good relationships with his students.

After all, he had figured things out in the past few days.

Since things have come to this, we have no choice but to do it.

Otherwise, Kurenai Yuhi, being on good terms with the three great ninja clans of Hyuga, Inuzuka, and Aburame, would easily become a target for others.

【"No."】

"Asuma-sensei, we have something to attend to, so we'll be leaving now."

Shikamaru shrugged, declining Asuma's offer.

Asuma was somewhat surprised.

Her gaze unconsciously fell on Choji.

No more barbecue?

Where is Choji of the Akimichi clan?

However, to Asuma's surprise, Choji not only agreed with Shikamaru's words, but also ran faster than anyone else.

Ino followed closely behind, seemingly unwilling to linger for even a second longer.

"This is so troublesome..."

"Never mind, Asuma-sensei, see you tomorrow."
