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

"However, I'm afraid neither of them realizes it..."

Ino was lost in her memories...

"That's certainly true..."

"Sasuke never speaks to anyone first, but he always likes to mock Naruto..."

"And Naruto always likes to pick on Sasuke..."

"Is this what they call a love-hate relationship?"

Hinata blushed and smiled, nodding slightly.

"Well, maybe..."

Ino sighed deeply, "Sigh, I really don't understand..."

As the sun sets, two girls, each burdened with their own worries, walk side by side.

Golden light spilled down, casting long shadows...

……

On the other side, Naruto was experiencing unprecedented happiness.

Not only has he proven his strength, but now he's even getting a treat from Ichiraku Ramen by Iruka-sensei.

At this point in life, what more could one ask for...?

He wolfed down his food, eating bowl after bowl.

Teacher Iruka couldn't help but sigh and rub his forehead.

"Eat Naruto slowly, I won't starve you."

"I already said I'd treat you."

Naruto muttered to himself as he continued to gulp down his food.

"That's precisely why we should eat a few more bowls of rice, since it's Iruka-sensei treating us!"

"This is a rare and wonderful thing..."

Teacher Iruka frowned: "Haven't I treated you to enough ramen?"

"You seem to be eating more than before..."

Naruto suddenly thought of something.

"I'm nowhere near as good as a real competitive eater!"

"A real competitive eater?"

"You mean Choji?"

Naruto shook his head frantically.

"Teacher Iruka would never guess..."

"It's Hinata!"

"Hinata?!"

Iruka was truly shocked; how could someone with such a small frame be called a glutton?

He wouldn't believe it even if I beat him to death.

However, Acorus calamus secretly chuckled.

"Naruto is telling the truth. Last time Naruto treated Hinata to a meal, Hinata ate a total of seventeen bowls!"

"Seventeen... bowls?!"

Teacher Iruka was dumbfounded.

Naruto was proud and elated.

"How about that? Pretty impressive, right?!"

Teacher Iruka: "It wasn't you, why are you so smug?"

Naruto laughed heartily: "Because..."

He suddenly froze, then frantically scratched his head.

"Why is that..."

"That's true, it's Hinata, not me..."

"However, for some reason, it has a similar feel to it..."

Having already seen through the mystery, Ayame couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle secretly.

Uncle Ichiraku, Iruka-sensei, and even Naruto himself were all baffled.

"Speaking of which, Iruka-sensei, why are you treating us to a meal?"

Uncle Ichiraku added another bowl of ramen to Naruto's bowl and asked.

"Ah, Naruto has been doing very well lately, so this is a reward for him."

"Oh, in that case, this bowl is free, consider it a reward for Naruto!"

Naruto laughed and said, "Thank you, Uncle Ichiraku!"

"Wait, no, anyway, it's Iruka-sensei treating, why should I be happy..."

……

After finishing their ramen, Iruka-sensei encouraged Naruto a few more times before the two parted ways.

Back home, Naruto was still excited, but he didn't forget to continue his arduous training.

With the system's helpful reminders, he couldn't forget them even if he wanted to.

Tonight's practice is...

The ability to create clones and multitask.

Naruto activated the power of the [Dual Attention] attribute.

While practicing the Chakra Refining Technique, he continued to practice the Shadow Clone Technique.

As Naruto's proficiency with these ninjutsu improved, he became increasingly skilled.

It is entirely possible to ensure that the two do not interfere with or affect each other.

Naruto's secret to mastering the Shadow Clone Technique was his own idea: training by looking in a mirror.

In this way, the clones that are originally imagined in the mind can be turned into concrete images, making the practice of the clone technique twice as effective.

But tonight, he decided to stop relying on the mirror.

Cultivating solely through one's own strength.

Because he had been staring at it so intently, even without a mirror, Naruto's image of himself was now deeply ingrained in his very being.

"Clone!"

Before he finished speaking, three exquisitely crafted clones appeared on either side of Naruto's body.

So lifelike, it's indistinguishable from the real thing.

The fourth one is still somewhat blurry.

"hateful……"

"That bastard Sasuke can easily create five clones, and each one looks exactly like the original!"

"continue!"

But in reality, Naruto's Shadow Clone Technique level at this moment has already surpassed most of his peers.

Students at ordinary ninja academies can only create two clones at most upon graduation.

Naruto being able to split into four already puts him at the level of an excellent student.

However, he always aimed for Sasuke's level, so of course he felt he was still far from being a match for him.

"Alright, let's temporarily stop multitasking and focus on practicing the Shadow Clone Technique!"

The system didn't stop him, and Naruto breathed a sigh of relief, focusing all his attention on the Shadow Clone Technique.

"Clone!"

This time, the fourth clone was indeed much clearer and more realistic.

Naruto was overjoyed.

"It seems that even with the power of the [Multitasking] attribute, multitasking can't compare to wholehearted dedication to cultivation..."

Looking at these virtual clones, Naruto suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and a thought seemed to pass through his mind.

"Clone Technique, multitasking..."

What was that I just thought of?

Naruto looked around, gazing at the four clones flanking him...

Suddenly, he slammed his fist into his palm.

"Ah, by the way..."

"Since I can multitask, if I could give these clones my own thoughts, wouldn't they be able to act on their own?!"

"I'm a genius!"

"but……"

Naruto's face darkened again.

"These clones are just formed from a tiny amount of chakra; they are illusions, not real entities. They can only deceive and lure the enemy; they can't possibly take any real action..."

"If we want to achieve what I envision, we first need to make these clones physical entities..."

"how should I do it?"

Naruto began to ponder deeply.

"Ah, the simplest idea is to allocate more chakra to the clones!"

He immediately began the experiment.

That's Naruto for you. If it were any normal person, they would never dare to risk trying such an idea.

Because this is an extremely dangerous matter.

Moreover, there were no senior ninjas protecting him.

But that's just Naruto's personality—carefree, impulsive, and prone to doing whatever comes to mind.

Without any hesitation, he immediately began his probing.

"Allocate more chakra..."

"Clone Technique!"
