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

Three hundred times!

"I only practiced the exercises a little over eighty times in the entire class!"

"If you don't hurry, I'm not getting any sleep tonight!"

In the mental space, Nine Lama twitched his ears with satisfaction.

"Hmph, this kid, it seems he's not entirely beyond redemption after all..."

"You can't sleep, but I can sleep soundly..."

Nine Lama grinned, yawned, twitched his ears, and lay down to sleep.

"Clone Technique—"

"Clone Technique!"

"I'll take it!"

[The host has completed one hundred repetitions of the clone technique training, increasing their mastery level; proficiency +1!]

Although Naruto was drenched in sweat and panting heavily, a smug smile appeared on his lips.

"Ah, you've really made great progress..."

"My clone is almost open its eyes now!"

"However, something still feels off..."

Naruto pondered, recalling the analogy Iruka-sensei had used.

"It's like pulling your own reflection out of a mirror."

Naruto slammed his fist down: "Ha! I've got it!"

He immediately went to the mirror, looked at himself carefully from head to toe.

"The reason I can't do the clone technique well is probably because I can't concentrate."

"It's too troublesome to form hand seals, visualize my own image in my mind, and control my chakra all at the same time!"

"If we could see the reflection directly, we wouldn't need to think about it anymore!"

"I'm such a genius!"

Naruto immediately started experimenting again.

"Wei, Si, Yin..."

"Clone Technique!"

Sure enough, this time the clone was still lying on the ground, but it had its eyes fully open!

Even more surprisingly, that face finally looked exactly like Naruto's.

"It really works!"

Naruto wiped his sweat, overjoyed, and immediately resumed his training.

[The host has completed three hundred repetitions of the clone technique, increasing their mastery level; proficiency +3!]

[Current skill level for the Shadow Clone Technique: 36!]

Although it's still only 36, it used to be only 16!

Just one day of hard training increased my proficiency by a full 20 points!

If things continue like this...

Naruto couldn't help but stroke his chin smugly, his mind already wandering...

He got first place in the class, stepped on Sasuke, was hugged and kissed by Sakura, all the girls looked at him with love in their eyes, and all the boys were filled with envy and jealousy...

Unfortunately, this scene didn't last long, and he soon fell asleep, exhausted.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

This is the third day since Naruto got the system, and also Naruto's first weekend.

He was woken up by the system at six o'clock sharp. He stretched and then reluctantly got out of bed to wash up and cook.

He walked to the window and glanced downstairs unconsciously.

"Ok?"

"That is……"

The morning sunlight cast dappled shadows on the girl's white dress and face.

A gentle breeze blew, causing ripples to spread across her long dress.

The girl was wearing a white sun hat, which was almost blown over by the wind. She quickly steadied it with her small hand, revealing a pretty and lovely face, but also a shy and blushing one.

Naruto couldn't help but feel a slight stirring in his heart.

"Hinata?"

He then suddenly remembered that he had made an appointment with Hinata for tutoring today.

but……

Hinata today seems to be acting the same as usual...

Not quite the same?

Naruto's doubts vanished in an instant, and he immediately became excited, gripping the window railing and waving his hands vigorously at Hinata downstairs.

"Hey! Hinata! Over here!"

Hinata's heart skipped a beat when she heard Naruto's call. She adjusted her white sun hat and looked up, only to see that most familiar face.

"Naruto... Naruto-kun?"

Her heart immediately raced, and her face flushed crimson.

Naruto is oblivious to everything and has no idea what a girl's thoughts are.

He called out loudly, "Hinata, why aren't you coming up?"

Hinata lowered her head.

"I...I'm not sure I dare..."

"Why!"

Hinata crossed her fingers, speechless for a moment.

How could she tell him that she was just shy...?

Naruto laughed and said, "Then I'll come pick you up!"

"Wait me a moment!"

Naruto immediately rushed downstairs, pushed open the door and ran to Hinata.

"bring it on."

He grabbed Hinata's hand.

Hinata's body trembled instantly.

But she couldn't refuse, so she followed Naruto's footsteps, walking step by step towards Naruto's house on the second floor.

"Naruto-kun is holding my hand..."

Hinata was in a state of utter confusion.

"Dang-dang-dang!"

"This is my home!"

"How's it going? Not bad, right?"

Naruto released Hinata's hand and casually picked up the watering can to water the plants he was growing.

This is one of his few hobbies besides ramen.

Hinata looked at her small hands, feeling somewhat disappointed.

"What's wrong, Hinata?"

"No, it's nothing..."

She watched Naruto watering the flowers, a shy smile appearing on her face.

"I...I didn't expect Naruto-kun to have such a hobby."

"This? Hahaha, I guess so!"

Naruto casually put down the water bottle.

"Did you have meal?"

"Ate."

"Oh, shall we begin right away?"

Hinata nervously clenched the hem of her clothes.

"Okay, okay..."

Naruto arrived at his "training room," which was a complete mess.

Even someone as carefree as him couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Ah, it's a bit messy..."

Hinata smiled secretly.

"It's... it's okay."

Naruto pushed all the messy things off the table.

"Come on, Hinata, sit next to me."

Hinata had just calmed down a bit when her heart started pounding again, as if a little rabbit was jumping around in her chest.

"Sit, sit next to Naruto-kun?"

Naruto said, "Ah, of course, otherwise how would I get extra lessons?"

Hinata said hesitantly, "What you said is true..."

She lowered her head, blushed, and moved closer, carefully sitting down on the chair next to Naruto.

"Hinata, you seem a little different today..."

"Well...how should I put it..."

Hinata's heart skipped a beat.

She put a lot of thought into today's "date." Instead of wearing her usual bulky clothes, she wore a white dress and a sun hat, hoping to get Naruto's attention.

Did he realize his own feelings?

Naruto thought for a long time and came to a conclusion.

"Hmm...it's probably because I'm not at school."

"It doesn't seem so gloomy anymore!"

Hinata: "..."

Although a little disappointed, Hinata still smiled shyly.

"Yes, I'll try my best to stop being so gloomy..."

"Naruto, let's begin."

Naruto clenched his fist.

"Alright! Getting into the top ten and defeating Sasuke depends on you, Hinata!"

Hinata nodded gently, opened her textbook and notes, and began to carefully explain everything to Naruto from beginning to end.

At this moment, the sun gradually rose, shining through the window and falling on the two people pressed together.
