This Naruto is too easily persuaded.

In the spring of the sixty-third year of Konoha.

The entrance exam for the final semester of the ninja academy.

"Naruto Uzumaki, taijutsu test... failed!"

"If you don't work harder, you'll have to repeat a year when you graduate in six months!"

With a sigh from Chunin teacher Iruka, a chorus of suppressed laughter rose from the surrounding crowd.

Unsurprisingly, Naruto once again became the worst student in the class.

Naruto lowered his head and silently brushed the ashes off his body.

The iconic bright orange tracksuit stood out starkly in the sunset's glow, and its disheveled appearance made it look like a stray dog.

"I knew it, this bottom-of-the-class student is no good."

"Did you hear? He transformed into a naked person before..."

"Shh, keep your voice down, that guy is..."

The murmurs of conversation lingered in my ears like the buzzing of mosquitoes.

Naruto's hand paused for a moment, then, as usual, he put on his carefree smile:

"Tch! I just accidentally slipped. You'll all be scared to death during the graduation exams!"

He shouted loudly, trying to cover up his embarrassment with his decibels.

But no one paid any attention to his commotion. They just glanced at him indifferently and then turned and left in twos and threes.

It was as if this person didn't exist.

Sasuke walked coldly through the crowd with his hands in his pockets, not even glancing at him.

Sakura chased after Sasuke's retreating figure, disdainfully bypassing Naruto.

Only Choji Akimichi and Shikamaru Nara nodded slightly to Naruto before leaving school, as if to say hello.

Naruto seemed encouraged and was about to talk to the two when he saw them leave, greeted by their families.

The noise subsided.

Naruto was left standing alone, the swing creaking in the wind.

…………

Late at night, at Naruto's house.

The cluttered, cramped space was filled with an unpleasant smell of instant noodles.

Naruto lay sprawled on the bed, his azure eyes fixed on the moldy water stains on the ceiling.

"Slipped my foot!"

At this moment, there was no trace of the silly grin he had during the day on his face.

"Why won't they open their eyes to me no matter what I do?"

"I want to become stronger, I want to pass the exams, but why can't I do well?"

"If someone could teach me..."

An unprecedented sense of loneliness overwhelmed Naruto like a tidal wave.

Just as he was about to close his eyes and embrace yet another lonely dream.

【Ding! 】

A crisp electronic sound suddenly rang in his ears.

"Hmm? An alarm clock?"

Naruto was completely bewildered. He picked up the alarm clock and looked at it for a long time but couldn't see anything unusual.

[Strong demand detected; the Listen to Advice system has been activated.]

[The All-Heavens Forum is now linked]

As a pale blue light screen unfolded before his eyes, Naruto was stunned.

"What is this? A new kind of illusion?"

Naruto rubbed his eyes, but the light screen remained steadily suspended in the center of his vision.

Moreover, the light screen displayed a series of strange titles:

"Help! My alchemy attempt at human transmutation failed, and I accidentally destroyed my penis! What should I do? I need help urgently!"

"Let's have a rational discussion: can one become the Pirate King through pure physical skills, without relying on Devil Fruits or Haki?"

"Newcomer reporting in! Just arrived in another world by truck. Currently working as a villager. How do I level up and defeat the Demon King?"

……

"Forum? Mutual aid?"

Although Naruto is a poor student, he can still read.

He tentatively poked the post with his finger, and after a moment of testing, he discovered that he could directly control the interface with his consciousness.

"Fun!"

Naruto was no longer sleepy and tried to open the post, but it only showed "Insufficient permissions".

After clicking on several posts in a row, Naruto received the same message each time, and he immediately felt bored.

"Damn it! They need permissions! What kind of permissions do I need to get in?!"

Just as Naruto was about to exit, he noticed another option in the bottom right corner of the screen.

[Post a thread]

On a whim, Naruto clicked the button, and to his surprise, it actually opened.

Perhaps it was because I was too lonely, and inexplicably,

Naruto followed the example in the post above and started editing his own content.

After much editing and revisions, he finally posted his first thread on the forum:

[Um...is anyone there? How can I make myself more popular?]

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki, and I'm about to face my graduation exams, but my grades are terrible..."

In the post, Naruto rambled on about his situation.

"...Can someone teach me how to gain everyone's approval?"

I'll do anything for you! Please!

At the end of the text, he also attached a funny selfie.

After the post was published, Naruto nervously hugged his knees, his eyes fixed on the screen.

Will anyone respond?

Or will I be completely ignored, just like in the village?

Only three seconds passed.

[Ding, you have a new reply.]

Naruto's pupils contracted, and his heart began to pound violently. Someone had actually replied!

1st Floor [Gintoki from Yorozuya]:

"Ah, the troubles of youth! Want to be popular? Easy!"

"Let's buy a case of strawberry milk wholesale and treat the whole class. After all, no one can resist a glass of sweet strawberry milk!"

"If you have any, then have another one."

[Suggestion already included: Please have the whole class drink milk]

[Task requirement: Please have the whole class drink strawberry milk]

[Mission Reward: Rank E Treasure Chest]

Naruto's lips twitched. "Strawberry milk? What is he talking about...?"

Then, another post appeared.

2nd floor [Wanting a peaceful life]:

"The suggestion upstairs is too inelegant, OP. The first step to becoming stronger is to cultivate your character."

"I suggest you drink a glass of warm milk before bed every day, do 20 minutes of stretching exercises, and ensure you get eight hours of sleep."

[Daily advice has been included: Health preservation]

[Task Requirements: Drink warm milk before bed, do 20 minutes of gymnastics, and get 8 hours of sleep]

[Mission Reward: Rank E Treasure Chest]

Naruto scratched his head, feeling that the suggestion was a little more reasonable, but he couldn't understand how it had anything to do with his situation.

3rd Floor [The Strongest Creature]

"Hehehe... Kid, your troubles are utterly boring!"

Want to become stronger? Want to be recognized? Then do what I did: first, go get a barrel of the strongest liquor and drink your fill.

"Then go find the strongest person in your area and duel him!"

"If you die, it means you're nothing special; if you don't die, you'll become famous! That's the shortcut! Hehehe!"

[Suggestion already included: Challenge the strongest]

[Mission Requirements: Drink a barrel of strong liquor, then challenge the strongest person you know. Victory or death.]

[Mission Reward: S-Rank Treasure Chest]

"Duel, and then die in battle..."

Naruto was stunned; even through the words, he could feel the overwhelming aura emanating from the text.

Although he still felt this suggestion was useless.

After all, he's not stupid.

A student who hasn't even graduated from the Ninja Academy goes to fight the Third Hokage, who is hailed as the strongest Hokage, and one of them has to die...

No matter how you look at it, you're definitely going to die, right?

Scrolling down further, you'll find similar joking remarks and inexplicable replies.

After looking for a while, Naruto still couldn't find any reliable suggestions.

Even so, he was very happy.

Because finally someone can communicate with him on an equal footing, no one cares about his background, and no one will inexplicably dislike him.

Just then, another reply appeared.
