Naruto, what kind of Hokage would you be if you didn't roll around!

Page 10

I am Uchiha Sasuke.

I have mixed feelings right now.

Looking at Naruto's exasperated expression, Sasuke felt a strange sense of irritation.

"What on earth is that loser up to?"

"Does he really want to turn his life around?"

"hateful……"

Sasuke Uchiha, who outwardly looks down on Naruto, is actually the one who cares about him the most.

Even though Iruka could empathize with and understand Naruto, he was ultimately a senior, a mentor, not a peer.

Even Hinata, despite her overwhelming affection for Naruto, could never fully comprehend his feelings of loneliness.

Only Sasuke.

He understands Naruto, even...

I envy Naruto.

Although Naruto is lonely, he can freely express himself, even if it's through pranks or being disliked. He never gives up trying to gain recognition from others.

Sasuke, however, could not do that.

His ruthlessness, his pride, his genius, and the hatred buried deep in his heart had become a cocoon binding him, from which he could not break free.

Both of them lost everything.

Naruto, however, possesses a passion that I cannot have.

He himself possesses a talent that Naruto cannot match.

But now that even Naruto is starting to work hard, and his excellence is being threatened, Sasuke experiences a subtle and sensitive but intense stimulus.

He himself couldn't explain this feeling.

It will only become motivation to push myself to work harder.

The pen in Sasuke's hand trembled slightly, and with a squeeze of his palm, it snapped in two...

Sakura, who had been silently watching Sasuke, couldn't help but glance at Naruto a couple more times.

When they turned around after hearing the sound of Sasuke's pen breaking, they only saw a slightly distorted face.

"Sasuke..."

Sakura was clueless and, of course, couldn't understand Sasuke's feelings at that moment.

Hinata blushed slightly, secretly happy for Naruto.

"Naruto-kun, go for it..."

Naruto crossed his arms and sat down angrily, clearly dissatisfied.

To be honest, if this level of progress had happened before, Naruto would have been grinning from ear to ear.

But not now.

The system specifies a timeframe of one month!

In just one month, I improved my grades from the bottom of the class to the top ten!

What's the difference between this and sending him straight to the Hokage's office to beat up the Third Hokage?!

"It seems we need to keep pushing!"

In the following classes, for the first time, Naruto didn't need the system to remind him; he took the initiative to concentrate fully and listen attentively.

During breaks between classes, he didn't hesitate to use the time to practice chakra refining techniques.

This unusual sight has become a spectacle in the classroom, causing everyone to tacitly keep their distance while simultaneously watching with curiosity.

until……

Ding!

[The host maintained full concentration for ten consecutive lessons, gaining new vocabulary abilities and absorbing knowledge!]

[Once you enter a state of complete concentration, your ability to absorb and digest knowledge increases dramatically!]

Naruto was stunned for a moment, then opened his mouth wide and his eyes shone.

"Entry capability!"

"Knowledge Absorption!"

"I don't quite understand it, but it seems like I've become even more amazing!"

He immediately tried it out, and in the following classes, once he entered a state of full concentration, his previously muddled mind suddenly became clear!

This feeling is indescribable.

It's like a river channel that's been blocked for over ten years suddenly being dredged.

It's like someone suffering from chronic constipation suddenly having a massive, uncontrollable bout of diarrhea...

It was like a sudden enlightenment, a complete awakening!

[You have entered a state of complete concentration. Your ability to absorb knowledge has been activated, and your mastery of the [Mathematics] subject has increased. Proficiency +5.]

Naruto was practically beaming with joy.

"5 points!"

"An unprecedented success!"

"a ha ha ha……"

[The system has detected that the host has lost focus and is about to receive a baptism of lightning from the system.]

[Warning countdown 5...]

Naruto: "...I admit I was wrong, okay?!"

and.

Naruto discovered that the ability of this "knowledge absorption" attribute was not limited to academic subjects.

It can even be applied to understanding ninjutsu!

This lesson focuses on Naruto's weakest skill: the Shadow Clone Technique.

The so-called clone technique is one of the most basic ninjutsu techniques taught at the ninja academy, the Three Body Techniques.

Relatively speaking, it's not too difficult.

Because the clones created have no physical form and are merely illusions, they cannot be used for attack or defense, but only for luring enemies.

Of course, because it has no physical form and lacks authenticity, it is easily seen through by ninjas with strong insight.

Naruto's Shadow Clone Technique has always been the weakest of the three body techniques.

His transformation technique is relatively strong, and he even developed his own unique ninjutsu for it.

That was the number one divine technique in the ninja world that defeated Kaguya Otsutsuki, the progenitor of chakra...

Seduction technique!

However, Naruto has never been able to perfectly master the Shadow Clone Technique.

On the podium, Professor Iruka spoke eloquently.

"The so-called clone technique is a basic ninjutsu that refines and controls a certain amount of chakra to create an illusion that is identical to the original body, in order to confuse the enemy."

"The hand seal sequence for the clone technique is: Wei—Si—Yin."

"While forming hand seals, manipulate and control chakra to form an image of yourself in your mind and create it, just like pulling yourself out of a mirror."

"Alright, everyone, let's start practicing now!"

"Feel free to ask me anything you don't understand."

In his "knowledge absorption" state, Naruto successfully absorbed all of Iruka-sensei's words about the Shadow Clone Technique for the first time.

"The hand seals should be performed in the sequence of Wei, Si, Yin. Imagine your own image in your mind and control your chakra to create it..."

"Aha! I get it!"

Naruto immediately began forming hand seals, while simultaneously conjuring up an image of himself in his mind and refining his chakra to guide it in creating the same illusion.

"Clone Technique!"

With a roar, he unleashed his chakra, and a clone instantly appeared in the classroom!

However, his clone lay limp and sprawled on the ground, as if he had drunk three kilograms of fake liquor, his eyes rolled back, his tongue lolling out, completely a puddle of mud.

"Hahahahaha!"

The crowd erupted in laughter, a cacophony of mocking voices.

In the past, Naruto would definitely have retorted.

But this time, he didn't have a chance to do so at all.

[Host's clone technique is detected to be too weak. Please immediately begin full-time practice of the clone technique. Today's goal is... to practice the clone technique three hundred times!]

Naruto:"???"

"Take, take the young master?!"

Three hundred times.

"If you want my life, just say so!"

"Three hundred times? Forget about whether I have enough chakra, even if I did, my little body couldn't handle it!"

[Warning, countdown to the Lightning Release baptism: 5...4...]

"..."

"If you had said that earlier, I would have understood!"

Naruto was powerless to resist and could only silently endure it.

"At the hour of the Snake and the Tiger, imagine your own shadow in your mind while manipulating the refined chakra..."

"Clone Technique!"

boom--
