Naruto: I get stronger by drawing lots

Naruto's confidence soared instantly. So what if he's a teacher? So what if he's a Chunin?

A piece of cake!

Fire Release.

"Hey?"

Naruto's newly formed confidence vanished instantly. At this moment, Mizuki had already completed the hand seals, and his mouth was puffing out.

"You're cheating!"

Naruto yelled, but Mizuki ignored him and unleashed a fireball even more powerful than Sasuke's.

He turned and started to run away, but the scorching heat behind him was closing in, and Naruto had no way to escape.

The fireball was about to hit them when another voice rang out.

"Water Release: Water Bullet".

Sizzle sizzle sizzle —

The water bullet and the fireball collided, and steam sprayed towards Naruto with a continuous hissing sound.

"It's so hot!"

Naruto rolled forward.

"Shuimu, what are you doing?"

"Teacher Iruka?"

Naruto turned his head and saw Iruka standing in front of him with a serious expression, staring at Mizuki.

"Iruka."

Mizuki also stopped, looking at Iruka with a cold gaze.

"Answer me, Shuimu, what are you doing?!"

Iruka shouted loudly.

"Naruto, you be careful there and protect the Book of Seals."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shui Mu launched his attack with incredible speed and steady movements.

Iruka reacted quickly, reaching into his ninja tool pouch to pull out a kunai and begin fighting with Mizuki.

The sounds of weapons clashing echoed through the air.

However, Iruka was ultimately slightly inferior. Becoming a teacher meant he had essentially said goodbye to combat. His daily training was fine, but real combat was not so simple.

The battle continued, and Iruka was gradually overwhelmed.

"Teacher Iruka!"

Naruto sensed it too and impulsively rushed over, but just then, Mizuki seized the opportunity.

"Don't come any closer, Naruto."

Iruka said worriedly, but this distracted him, and Mizuki seized the opportunity to kick him away!

"You brat!"

"Bring me the Book of Seals."

Chakra coiled around the kunai in his hand, and the chakra blade shone forth as he stabbed towards the red-haired brat.

"Naruto!"

Iruka scrambled forward, grabbing handfuls of mud along with him.

Everything happened so suddenly that Naruto had no time to dodge, and Mizuki's teeth were about to bite down on his head.

puff!

Flesh and blood were pierced through, and the red-haired child lay on the ground, blood streaming down his face.

He was breathing heavily, panting constantly.

"cut!"

Iruka swung a kunai at Mizuki, but Mizuki dodged it immediately. The chakra blade that had pierced his abdomen was pulled out, causing Iruka another wave of pain and drawing out a stream of blood that stained Naruto's orange clothes.

"Teacher Iruka."

Naruto's voice trembled slightly.

"Are you alright, Naruto?"

Iruka's hands were trembling. The injury wasn't fatal, but it was still quite serious.

No, that won't protect Naruto.

Iruka was panting, and only one person was on his mind.

With a thud, Iruka lost his strength and collapsed onto Naruto.

"Iruka-sensei! Iruka-sensei!"

Naruto's eyes suddenly turned red, and his natural beard stood on end. At that moment, Naruto's aura exploded.

"Ninja Art: Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

One after another, Naruto clones emerged, their chakra from the Nine-Tails and the Uzumaki clan's vast chakra coalescing into thousands of shadow clones.

Iruka was about to sit up, but the sight made him decide to stay lying down.

"I will never let you go!"

Iruka has treated Naruto like a father since he enrolled in school. When Naruto misbehaves, Iruka will apologize to him together and treat him to ramen and chat. But right in front of him, Iruka almost got a hole in his abdomen!

"on!"

These shadow clones have reached a level close to that of a Kage! At least in terms of quantity.

When faced with overwhelming numbers, Shuimu was utterly defeated.

Under the moonlight, Iruka sat up and looked at the scene before him, no longer feeling the wound on his abdomen.

"Naruto."

Mizuki was already unconscious to the side. With thousands of shadow clones, even he couldn't fight them all.

"Teacher Iruka, your injury."

Naruto's aura returned to normal, and he looked at Iruka with concern.

Iruka stood up and smiled with satisfaction.

"Congratulations, you have passed."

Iruka took off his own headband and put it on Naruto.

Under the moonlight, the two figures, one tall and one short, looked so warm and inviting.

Naruto shed a few tears, which he quickly wiped away, causing Iruka to chuckle softly.

"From now on, you are a qualified ninja!"

"Excellent, excellent! Iruka-sensei should also take care of his wound."

Iruka felt a warmth in his abdomen and looked over to see Minato standing to the side with a smile on his face.

"Lord Hokage!"

"Uncle Minato!"

"Hahaha, that was a really good fight to watch."

Minato had been watching all night, and if there was any danger threatening his life, he would act instantly; the speed of the Golden Flash was no joke.

Overall, tonight was a pretty good rest for Shuimen.

Chapter 307: Class Assignment

"Oh, is that so? Naruto is really amazing. He's so young and he can already defeat a Chunin."

That night, the group at the Happy Little Restaurant had a late-night snack. It was still the same four members of Jiraiya's team, except that one of them was different from before, and the words just spoken were from Tsukiki.

"He truly is my son."

Kushina looked proud; it was finally her turn to be proud. With Itachi, the current record holder, around, Mikoto didn't need to worry. But Naruto was causing quite a bit of trouble.

"Hehehe, yes, that's right."

Mikoto didn't care too much about that. Compared to Kushina's wish for Naruto to fulfill his dream of becoming Hokage and become a powerful ninja, Mikoto hoped that her child could be happy and never asked for anything.

"Hey, Naruto is pretty good. Who knows, he might become a great Hokage someday."

Minato thought about Naruto's eyes; he had high hopes for Naruto. But speaking of Naruto, Minato also thought of Itachi. Itachi used to aim for Hokage, but the Itachi of today—

Minato took a sip of his drink. It was a rare opportunity, so he decided to put those other matters aside for now.

"But those kids should be graduating soon. Time really flies. I've been here for twelve years now."

Yue Shu sighed and said something.

The people next to them were also stunned for a moment, but they quickly laughed to themselves.

"Yes, it's been twelve years."

Minato took another sip, and the three of them exchanged glances.

The decision to not tell Yue Shu those things and let him live as an ordinary person was made together by several people.

Let Yue Shu take a break. It's difficult to implement so many things for someone else all at once. Let's take it slow.

"Those children will definitely become very powerful ninjas."

Minato laughed as he spoke.

"This was said by the Fourth Hokage, it can't be wrong."

"Ha ha ha ha."

The group smiled and chatted happily.

As usual, another day slowly passed by in the steamy night.
