The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

However, this is not a problem for Mianma at all.

"Clone Technique".

In a spacious classroom at the Ninja Academy.

With his hands forming a mudra, Mianma stood in the center, easily unleashing a clone technique.

"Hmm, acceptable."

Upon seeing the two intangible clones appear beside Menma.

Iruka, who was serving as the graduation examiner in the main seat, nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile.

Chapter 21 officially begins the story.

The theoretical knowledge assessment ended yesterday.

It's basically just going through the motions.

The main event is today's practical skills assessment, with the Three Body Technique being the most important part. Generally speaking, candidates who can successfully master the Three Body Technique will definitely graduate smoothly, as this means that they have already acquired the basic strength to become a genin.

To put it bluntly, even if such a character is utterly incompetent, based on past experience in major battles, he could still become a qualified cannon fodder!

Even on the battlefield facing terrifying enemies at the Kage level, it can still help to slightly deplete their chakra or stamina!

The famous Third Raikage, A, was worn down and killed by the sheer number of people from Iwagakure, wasn't he?

Of course, in that war, the Third Raikage also inflicted a devastating loss of over four figures on the Iwa ninja side.

Therefore, from this perspective, even the lowest-ranking genin still have some use!

Theory is one aspect.

Ultimately, a ninja's strength depends on their immediate combat ability!

As the top performer who has consistently held the number one spot for the past six years, Mianma performed flawlessly in both yesterday's theoretical knowledge assessment and today's practical skills assessment, consistently delivering the best results.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Menma will still graduate smoothly with the highest score in his class, or even the highest score in his grade. As Menma's teacher, and someone who already treats Menma like a younger brother, Iruka is naturally very satisfied!

"As expected of Menma-kun, who has been number one in the class for six years, it looks like he'll be number one among the graduates this time too, don't you think, Iruka-sensei!"

A young man with a gentle smile, standing next to Iruka, also spoke with a smile at that moment.

This young man was also in charge of this graduation assessment. He was also a faculty member at the Ninja Academy and the first minor boss character to appear in the original work—Mizuki!

Judging solely from its current appearance.

Mizuki is just like Iruka, a gentle teacher!

However, Menma, who was present at the scene, was well aware of this guy's dark side.

Speaking of Mizuki, a few years ago, Menma subconsciously mastered the Shadow Clone Technique, and even released it easily in front of Iruka, only to regret it not long afterward.

Because while learning the Shadow Clone Technique, Menma subconsciously overlooked an important plot point from his graduation.

That was the theft of the 'Book of Seals'.

That was a legitimate opportunity for me to obtain extra benefits from the Book of Seals, but unfortunately, I accidentally mastered the clone technique. Later, I couldn't pretend that I didn't know it, so I could only regretfully miss out on this part of the story!

Anyway, that Book of Seals might not be the real deal, or even if it is, I might not actually be able to see all the contents on it.

Menma doesn't believe that the 'Naruto' in the original work could steal the Scroll of Seals so easily. It could only be taken away smoothly with Hiruzen Sarutobi's tacit approval!

In other words, everything is under their control!

Including Tsinghua University's Tsinghua University forum!

There might be a few minor mishaps, but the overall process is unlikely to go wrong; otherwise, it would be an insult to Hiruzen Sarutobi's intelligence.

Therefore, the true value of that sealed book is questionable!

As for the Shadow Clone Technique, it's a bugged ninjutsu.

For those who prefer sesame seeds, this is still quite necessary!

His chakra reserves are also incredibly high, and he also has the Nine-Tails' chakra as a foundation. The Shadow Clone Technique is a technique tailor-made for him, making it perfect for exploiting bugs to exponentially increase his training power!

There's no other way this time!

But there's also Kakashi, and even the future Jiraiya, which is worth looking forward to.

There's absolutely no need for me to rush. Menma doesn't believe I can't get the Shadow Clone Technique!

"Hehe, that depends on the other students' assessment results. Here, this is your headband, Mianma. Remember to attend the graduation ceremony tomorrow. There are some other arrangements to inform you about later!"

Iruka first chuckled and shook his head, then looked at Menma who was walking up, reached out and took a headband from the table on the side and handed it to Menma in the opposite seat.

"Yes, Iruka-sensei, then I'll excuse myself!"

After receiving the headband, Menma bowed slightly to Iruka and Mizuki before turning and leaving the classroom.

Although he was a little curious about what Mizuki, who had decided to side with Orochimaru, would do without him, he wouldn't spend too much time or effort on it.

In the end, he was just a nobody.

In the original story, Naruto needed to use his newly learned Multiple Shadow Clone Technique to overwhelm Mizuki with sheer numbers.

However, this is not necessary.

Individual strength alone is enough to deal with Shuimu.

Not to mention he also has the power of the Nine-Tails as a foundation!

To put it bluntly, if Menma doesn't consider the consequences, there's a good chance he could go down in a fight to the death with Konoha!

Someone like Shuimu is naturally not worthy of Menma's attention.

However, what Menma didn't notice was that at that moment, Mizuki's eyes, looking at his back, subtly revealed a strange look.

After Mianma left.

The candidates who came in later all passed the graduation assessment smoothly.

Almost no one makes obvious mistakes, or even fails.

Unlike earlier standards.

In recent years, almost no candidates have failed the graduation exam, and Menma's class was no exception. Apart from a very few unlucky ones, all the remaining candidates passed the exam smoothly!

Although there is still the real highlight later - the separate assessment for the Jonin and Chunin leading the team, those who fail will still be sent back. The very first scene in the original work proves that some team leaders, including Kakashi, did indeed have a precedent of sending graduating students back to the Ninja Academy!

Kakashi was the most extreme case. For several years in a row, all of them were rejected. No team could pass his test. Perhaps Kakashi's status was special and he had such autonomy, but it was enough to show that this was not an isolated case, but a tacit rule!

Of course, most of these little ones are still unaware of this, and they are all still looking very excited after receiving their headbands!

The assessment is over.

They went out for dinners and celebrations one after another.

As the undisputed core member of this year's graduates, Naruto called on his classmates to celebrate together at the moment the assessment ended. Thanks to Naruto's status, most people accepted the invitation, with only a small number refusing.

Mashed noodles are one of them.

Naruto and his classmates didn't take it seriously either. After all, it had been six years, and everyone knew each other's personalities well enough!

Erzhuzi also declined the invitation; this young master of the Uchiha clan had no interest in attending such a childish gathering!

His goal has always been singular and unwavering!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 22: Powerful Plot Inertia

Of the remaining people.

Even the laziest Shikamaru attended the gathering, after all, Shikamaru's emotional intelligence and IQ are off the charts. Not to mention, Choji is the person who is most willing to attend dinner parties, and as Choji's best friend, Shikamaru still had to attend as well!

As for whether Naruto could handle the large number of people going, there's absolutely no problem. Naruto is still the same Naruto, and in this life, he still carries the aura of the Fourth Hokage, the son of a hero.

Minato and Kushina's inheritance is a large sum of money.

This is a small expense.

Naruto doesn't need to care at all!

Besides, even though Naruto's personality is still as carefree as ever, with the innocence and passion of the original timeline, he has matured a bit due to different circumstances, and he's not the kind of person who would waste money!

In his view, this was the most reasonable expenditure.

While Naruto led most of his classmates to a barbecue restaurant to celebrate their graduation, Menma went to his familiar training ground. After completing his daily training tasks there, he leisurely returned home.

Next, the original plot will officially begin!

He definitely needs to plan carefully. The Chunin Exams are only a few months away, so he naturally needs to make all the necessary preparations before then!

only.

'Surprises' and 'accidents' always arrive quietly when you least expect them.

That evening.

Just as Mianma finished washing up and was getting ready to go to bed,

Not far away, a familiar chakra aura suddenly appeared within Menma's perception range.

Just as Mianma's expression faltered slightly, and the thought of 'Could it be?' popped into his mind.

"Boom boom boom!"

The owner of this chakra aura had already arrived outside Menma's residence and gently knocked on the door!

'Hmm? Coming to see me at this hour? Is the plot really that predictable?'

After muttering a couple of sentences unconsciously, Mianma...

She walked lightly into the entryway.

The door was gently pulled open.

"Eh? Mizuki-sensei, why are you here so late? Is something the matter?"
