Konoha: I, Naruto, will eat the Forest-Forest Fruit!

Wow~ That's amazing~

"Sasuke-kun is the coolest~"

"Bullshit! Naruto-kun is handsome too, okay?!"

"But...but Mom and Dad won't let me get close to him."

"..."

The girls in the class were chattering amongst themselves.

Several others stared at Erzhuzi with infatuated expressions.

"What a nuisance! Throwing a shuriken as soon as I get down? I'd rather meditate in the classroom."

Shikamaru rolled his eyes and said weakly.

"Naruto, you're definitely stronger than Sasuke."

"I know, that day Xiao Li kept saying he wanted to fight you, but one punch from you made him lose his temper for three days."

Choji was secretly eating potato chips on the side and muttered something under his breath.

"Of course! Naruto is way better than that arrogant Sasuke!"

Ino, without hesitation, pulled Hinata over, saying, "We can't let Naruto-kun lose later."

"Ouch~"

"You hit me on the head again, how annoying!"

Naruto shook his head with a smile and said, "No clowning around."

The new semester is coming.

The day when the Uchiha clan will be wiped out is drawing ever closer.

During this period, the shops downstairs from Naruto's building, which were originally occupied by ANBU ninjas in disguise, all closed down.

Erzhuzi knows nothing, he's still pretending.

The grades for last semester have been released.

Naruto passed all the cultural and theoretical knowledge tests.

This is even when he's controlling the score.

However, it's precisely because the Will of Fire is perfect.

His overall grades made him the top student in his grade.

This was something he never expected.

All I can say is that Konoha truly lives up to its reputation as the village under the Third Hokage's rule.

"Next up, Naruto Uzumaki."

No one understands shurikenjutsu better than the Uchiha.

His talent for dynamic vision is unparalleled in the ninja world.

If one awakens the Sharingan, one can become a special Jonin simply by wielding a shuriken.

Naruto, who absorbed Uchiha Shisui, possessed talent in this area that was in no way inferior to that of ordinary Uchiha clan members.

Including the two pillars.

In particular, his eyes had already awakened the Sharingan.

Even without using the Sharingan, their normal dynamic vision is far superior to that of ordinary Uchiha clan members.

call out--

Three shuriken appeared in Naruto's hand.

With a "whoosh" sound.

Three shuriken flew out simultaneously.

bang bang bang-

As expected, all three shuriken hit the target.

But not a single shot hit the bullseye.

Erzhuzi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Hmph, is this all the top student in the grade is capable of?

I am the real number one in the grade!

Erzhuzi raised his head, his face full of pride.

"qualified."

Iruka lowered his head and drew a checkmark after [Naruto Uzumaki].

Naruto, unlike in the original story, didn't try to attract attention; after throwing the shuriken, he returned to his seat.

He can hit the bullseye with his eyes closed, as long as he's willing.

However, there's no need to seek the limelight like that.

Especially now that there are undercurrents in Konoha, he needs to minimize his presence in order to fish in troubled waters.

Iruka wasn't as kind to Naruto as he was in the original story.

In fact, Naruto felt a little uncomfortable when he only received a passing grade.

Subsequent classes began to shift from indoors to outdoors.

Survival drills are conducted from time to time.

Naruto now comes to school in his original form.

The cultivation matters can be handled by Bai Jueban's clone.

His main responsibilities included meditation and keeping a close eye on which day had the most eerie atmosphere.

"Today we will conduct practical combat training. Those whose names are called, please step forward."

"Kiba Inuzuka, Shikamaru Nara, you two step forward and be careful to keep your distance."

cut!

Why not me and that Naruto Uzumaki?

I want everyone to know that the Uchiha will always be the best!

For some reason, Erzhuzi felt very uncomfortable whenever he saw Naruto.

The practical training of this martial art is also very interesting.

The children of the Great Ninja Clan basically compete against each other.

Commoner vs. Commoner.

Of course, challenges are also running.

However, most ordinary people could not defeat the children of the Great Ninja Clan.

Soon, the battle between Ino and Hinata ended.

In terms of physical skills, Hinata is naturally superior.

But after only a couple of moves, Ino conceded defeat. After forming a seal with Hinata, she cheerfully pulled the somewhat remorseful Hinata back with her.

Sakura Haruno, who was standing to the side, felt very uncomfortable watching this.

Ino used to be so good to her.

Things are fine now, but I always feel... like I'm not as good as Hinata anymore.

"Next up, Uchiha Sasuke."

Is Sasuke about to make his move?

Wow ~

Even his walk is so stylish~

In the blink of an eye, the pink-haired girl joined the ranks of infatuated girls.

"Hmm... Naruto Uzumaki, step forward."

Iruka hesitated for a moment.

Although Naruto is now the top student in name only, his performance in actual combat is rather mediocre.

If he were to fight Sasuke of the Uchiha clan, he would probably be completely crushed.

"Naruto, beat that arrogant bastard to a pulp!"

"Use a sickle to dig... and dry-stuff it!"

It's going to crash...

Encrypted conversation, right?

"Hehe, I've finally waited for you."

As soon as the seal of harmony was formed, Erzhuzi said with a cold smile.

What?

No, buddy?

I'm not Naruto from the original story, I didn't offend you, did I?

"You are the first and the last person in a grade with Uchiha members to achieve the top score."

Naruto rolled his eyes. Kakashi?

"However, this title will soon belong to the Uchiha."

"Accept your fate. I will protect the honor of the Uchiha!"

???

What is that?

Naruto was stunned.

Seeing Naruto's expression, Sasuke felt like he had punched a cotton ball.

"Stop arguing!"

"I will not allow the honor of the Uchiha clan to be tarnished!"

"what!"

He shouted about honor, friendship, or some kind of bond, and charged towards Naruto.

"Why is he so melodramatic?"

Naruto was truly dumbfounded.

"Could it be because I didn't act like in the original story... that he's become a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur)?"

"No, maybe I got stood up by my son again, so he shifted the blame to me because I was forced to become the top student in the grade."

"My constitution really makes it easy for people to shift their focus."

Watching Erzhuzi's fist come at him in slow motion.

Naruto was pondering whether he should let him win.

But Kurama's somewhat excited voice kept saying, "Let's beat up a small Uchiha first and collect some interest."

Just then, Naruto received a message from the trees.

And, news of Bai Jueban's wooden clone.

"After leaving Root with the filial son, they went straight back to the Uchiha clan, and even ran into a masked man?"

When the message came from the clone, many Root ninjas were mobilized, their target being the Uchiha clan.

The various ninja clans suddenly fell silent.

Many ninjas who were on missions outside were also recalled to their clans.

"So today is the night of annihilation. There's a reason why Erzhuzi is acting so childish all of a sudden."

No wonder there's a drill today; it seems we won't be able to go to school until tonight.

hum-

The next instant, Erzhuzi's fist arrived.

But to everyone's surprise, their eyes widened in astonishment.

The two-handed swordsman hit Naruto, but then passed right through his body.

"A clone technique?"

After Erzhuzi realized what was happening, his face was filled with disbelief.

He, a member of the prestigious Uchiha clan, was actually blinded by a mere clone technique?

Then, just when everyone thought Naruto's clones would disappear.

The phantom turned around and kicked Erzhuzi in the buttocks.

It doesn't cause much harm, but it's extremely insulting.

Is this okay?

"Hahaha~ Good, this kick will definitely make that brat furious."

The Nine-Tails laughed heartily inside the sealed space.

Naruto sighed and turned to look at the stunned Iruka.

"Can we announce the results now?"

"Illusion...Illusionary Instantaneous Movement Technique?"

"This is the fighting style of Shisui's Body Flicker Technique!"

Iruka was completely flustered.

"Yay!"

"Naruto is so cool! Naruto is the best!"

Ino immediately cheered, while the hearts of all the infatuated girls bled – that was their beloved Erzhuzi!

"Why do you know that move?!"

The second pillar is nearing the point of breaking through defenses.

Even after being humiliated, I'll still fight in Shisui's style.

"hateful!"

Erzhuzi realized that everyone in the clan suspected that his own brother had killed Zhishui.

He rolled over to create distance between himself and Naruto, and quickly formed hand seals.

It is the hand seal for Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.

Naruto knew what he was going to do just by looking at his raised hand.

When Iruka was surprised that Sasuke had mastered ninjutsu, he immediately stopped Sasuke.

"Sass, that was just physical combat training, you've passed."

"Let's form the seal of union."

After successfully stopping Erzhuzi, Iruka visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

"How on earth did you learn Shisui-nii's fighting style?!"

Could it be that... Brother Shisui didn't die?!

Why didn't he show up, leaving his brother constantly suspected by the clan?

Erzhuzi suddenly fell silent.

Since he doesn't form the Harmony Seal, Naruto naturally won't do it on his own initiative.

There was a reason for taking action.

It won't be long before the ninja bear comes to investigate.

He could then explain his sudden inspiration for his fighting style.

This made him realize that he had inherited the talents of his adoptive parents.

At the same time, he mentioned that he could never quite master the clone technique.

Ask about the technique of multiple shadow clones.

This ninjutsu is not the main point; the main point is the Book of Sealing.

Naruto can act rather recklessly.

Everything he did was to gain the villagers' approval and become Hokage.

Then, find an opportunity to obtain information about the Book of Seals from someone else and steal it from the Hokage's office.

Hmm... Shuimu, I've chosen you!

It was called theft, but in reality, it was done with the tacit approval of Ninja Bear.

Although the mayfly technique can steal things without anyone noticing, he doesn't know where they are located.

In addition, there is a barrier inside, so if the Book of Seals is stolen, there will definitely be a warning.

By then, the village would be in chaos again, and it wouldn't be safe enough.

I wonder if anyone noticed that in the original manga, after Naruto stole the Scroll of Seals, there was a scene where Choji Akimichi was among the ninjas.

Was he the one who captured Naruto?

No, no, it's to prevent other ninjas from finding Naruto, killing him, and taking the Scroll of Seals.

Forbidden techniques are easy to learn but quite powerful.

This is also why Mizuki had the idea to acquire the Book of Seals.

Of course, the most important thing is to let the ninja bear know about his talent, and the Will of Fire has successfully brainwashed him.

Stop sending ANBU ninjas to monitor you all the time, or using live-streaming devices to spy on you.

He's so annoying, really annoying!

"We have a lot of lessons today, so we'll be dismissed a little later."

"Alright, let's continue the combat training."

After Iruka finished speaking, he continued calling for people.

Naruto told Shikamaru and Choji before going to the restroom together.

He returned normally, but the Naruto who returned was now a wood clone.

The main body, however, used the Mayfly Technique to head towards the Uchiha clan's territory.

"I'm just waiting for the night of our annihilation. My clone, now in Sage Mode, has already found the perfect spot."
