Chapter 52 Stealing the Sealed Book

Five years passed in a flash, and the young boys and girls had grown into independent young ninjas. Their eyes no longer had the immaturity and ignorance they once had, but were replaced by firmness and maturity.

On this day, the school finally welcomed the last test before graduation. In the classroom, Teacher Iruka directed the students to go to the empty classroom next door one by one to take the clone test.

Sakura was the first to walk into the empty classroom. She held her breath, quickly formed seals with her hands, and with a "bang", she successfully created three clones. Teacher Iruka nodded slightly.

Next was Sasuke, with a serious expression on his face. He formed seals with his hands and also created four clear and realistic clones. Teacher Iruka gave him an affirmative look.

After Ino walked into the classroom, she calmly performed the clone technique and successfully created three clones.

Shikamaru seemed nonchalant, but he successfully created three clones.

Shikamaru tried hard to form hand seals, and finally created three slightly clumsy clones.

Shino was not in a hurry. After forming a seal, he successfully created four clones.

Kiba and Akamaru entered the classroom together, and coordinated with each other to perform the clone technique, creating three clones.

Finally it was Naruto's turn. He walked into the classroom slowly. Sitting at the desk were Iruka and Mizuki, a white-haired teacher. Iruka smiled gently when he saw Naruto walking into the classroom: "Naruto, don't be nervous, just be calm."

Naruto smiled and nodded in response, but there was a hint of teasing in his smile. Finally, Naruto began to form hand seals, and chakra began to surge around his body. With a "bang", a clone like mud lay beside Naruto.

Iruka's mouth twitched when he saw this scene, and he was quite speechless: "This bastard boy, except for his handsome appearance, beautiful singing voice, good physical fitness, good endurance, gentleness and modesty, but when it comes to ninjutsu, this boy is simply a scumbag, and he can't even complete the most basic clone technique." Iruka sighed in his heart, and then told Naruto with a serious face: "Naruto, you are not qualified."

Naruto was not surprised by this result, he was just following the normal process of the original work. Naruto was very curious about "The Book of Seals".

At this time, Mr. Mizuki beside him interrupted Iruka and said, "Teacher Iruka, this child's physical skills and endurance are still very good. Now he can be regarded as barely using the clone technique. Can he be considered qualified?"

After hearing what Mizuki said, Iruka retorted: "Teacher Mizuki, everyone can at least create three clones, but Naruto only has one, and it's a useless clone. There's no way I can let him pass."

"But" Just as Mr. Mizuki was about to say something, Mr. Iruka raised his hand to interrupt him: "Okay, Naruto, you go down first, the next student please come in."

After school, Naruto sat on the swing at the school gate, watching his graduating classmates laughing and talking, sharing the joy of becoming a Genin with their parents. A smile also appeared on the corner of his mouth.

At this time, a figure appeared beside Naruto. Naruto looked up and saw that it was Teacher Mizuki. Naruto smiled and said, "You finally took the bait."

In the distance, the Third Hokage and Iruka-sensei were looking at Naruto. The Third Hokage felt helpless: "This kid is a complete mess in ninjutsu. I have been teaching him since he was three years old for nine years, but now he can't even graduate from the Ninja School. He is a disgrace to me as the Hokage. If it weren't for the delicious cooking of this kid and some other factors... Well, there is no other way. I, an old man, can only persuade him with emotion and reason to get a connection for this kid." Then he looked up at Iruka beside him and said: "Iruka, I will talk to you later."

On the Hokage Rock, Mizuki sat with Naruto on the side: "Naruto, Iruka-sensei is not targeting you on purpose, he actually wants you to become truly stronger, after all, you both have no parents."

Naruto turned his back to Mizuki and said with a teasing look on his face, "But I really want to graduate."

Mizuki heard what Naruto said and said helplessly: "There is no other way, then I will tell you a very important secret."

Mizuki came close to Naruto and said in a low voice: "Naruto, do you know the "Book of Seals" in the village? It contains many powerful ninjutsu. As long as you can learn one of them, it will be enough to impress teacher Iruka and help you graduate successfully."

Naruto laughed in his heart but pretended to be surprised on his face, "Really? Mizuki-sensei."

Shuimu's eyes flashed with cunning: "Of course it's true, but you must never tell anyone about this."

At night, Naruto quietly walked into the place where the sealed scroll was stored. He saw a huge scroll about one meter high standing there, exuding a mysterious atmosphere, as if it contained endless power and unknown secrets.

Naruto stepped forward and quickly took down the scroll. "This is a great opportunity to learn the contents of the scroll openly, I must seize it firmly." Then, Naruto carried the scroll without hesitation and ran towards the depths of the forest.

In the room, Iruka was lying on the bed, and his mind kept recalling what the Third Hokage said to him: "Iruka, it's not that I don't understand your feelings, but Naruto also grew up without the love of his parents. As a ninja, learning ninjutsu is important, but that is only the basics. There are still many ninjas in our village who are not good at ninjutsu but are still powerful and excellent. Naruto is indeed weak in ninjutsu, but his physical strength and endurance are really outstanding, you see..." Just as Iruka was immersed in his memories, there was a sudden hurried knock on the door from Mizuki.

Iruka opened the door and saw Mizuki with a worried look on his face. He asked in a panic, "What's wrong, Mizuki-sensei?"

Mizuki quickly replied, "Hurry and gather at Hokage-sama's place. It seems that Naruto has taken the Book of Seals."

Iruka's heart suddenly shook, and he said in disbelief: "How could it be? Naruto..."

Shuimu interrupted him anxiously: "Stop talking nonsense and go!"

After saying that, the two of them ran towards the Hokage Building at lightning speed.

Inside the Hokage building, the Third Hokage stood there with a solemn expression. The ninjas around him all had serious faces, and the atmosphere was so depressing that it made people breathless.

Iruka asked anxiously, "Hokage-sama, what is going on?"

The Third Hokage spoke slowly, "Naruto entered the place where the Book of Sealing was kept and took the scroll away."

Iruka said firmly without hesitation: "Hokage-sama, Naruto must not have done this on purpose."

The Third Hokage nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Find him first."
