Chapter 5 I am also a genius
Sarutobi Hiruzen did not knock on the door again.
He just listened from the corner for a long time, the sound of knives chopping on the chopping board, the gurgling of soup, and the aroma of meat.
Compared with Naruto's beginning to have his own ideas, what was happening at the moment made him feel that the threshold of acceptance was higher.
The "nest" that used to keep the Jinchūriki now began to have the taste of "home".
Sarutobi Hiruzen comforted himself.
There is nothing wrong with this.
Wasn't that what he expected before, hoping that Naruto would be fine, and the Fourth Hokage would be relieved if he saw this scene.
But why do I feel a little uneasy?
Or I don't know Naruto enough.
He turned and left.
Decided to observe carefully during this period.
Jinchūriki. Don't go astray.
Uzumaki Naruto has changed a lot.
His classmates at the ninja school were the first to feel it.
The boy who was hated by everyone a few days ago suddenly became not so annoying.
The most noticeable thing is the change in his dress.
Before, Naruto had always been wearing a dirty orange turtleneck sportswear, which was rustic and sloppy.
And now he finally took off that sportswear.
He changed into a pure white hoodie without any pattern decoration, which matched his blonde hair, and matched it with gray cropped pants. The whole person gave off a sunny and clean feeling.
"Uzumaki, that guy, has become much more pleasing to the eye." During the lunch break, Yamanaka Ino, who was having lunch with Haruno Sakura, suddenly uttered this sentence.
Haruno Sakura followed her gaze.
Uzumaki Naruto seemed to be no different from usual - at least in her eyes, he was still sitting alone, eating lunch alone.
"He can also make his own bento?" She soon found something strange. Naruto had a bento box in his hand! Although the side dishes and rice were not as exquisite as those made by her parents, it looked like they might taste good?
Yamanaka Ino hesitated: "It seems not? He used to eat bread."
She didn't know either.
Before this period of time, who would care about this guy Uzumaki Naruto?
"Even if he becomes a little more pleasing to the eye, so what? He is still far behind Sasuke." Haruno Sakura crossed her arms, looking past Naruto and looking at Uchiha Sasuke who was sitting not far away, "The last one is the last one, maybe this is a new trick he came up with to attract attention."
She doesn't like Naruto.
Yamanaka Ino shook her head and didn't say anything, but she didn't quite agree with this point of view.
Compared with the students, the teachers of the ninja school can notice some of Naruto's inner changes more.
He started to study seriously!
No more skipping classes, no more sleeping, excellent homework
From "last one" to "excellent student" almost instantly.
However, most teachers still don't like him, and even hate him more-Naruto's "beating" the convenience store owner has spread, and he has not suffered any punishment. The third generation Hokage is still "partial" to Naruto, forcing nearby stores to do Naruto's business.
They have almost the same ideas as Haruno Sakura.
I think this damn kid can't study hard, he will only be enthusiastic for three minutes.
What's more, it's almost graduation now, what's the point of pretending!
Naruto is really interested in ninja knowledge.
Before, he just thought these things were boring. The teacher didn't encourage him and his classmates didn't welcome him, so he didn't want to learn.
But after returning from the Maou Spiritual Academy.
Looking at the textbooks again, I feel refreshed.
The understanding and definition of "chakra", basic physics knowledge, and the use of three body techniques.
Although in essence, chakra and spiritual power are two completely different powers - one comes from the body and the other comes from the soul.
But the skills to use them are the same.
"Spiritual Network" - a skill of sensing and identifying spiritual energy taught by the Maou Spiritual Academy can also be performed through "chakra", which allows him to distinguish the specific people around him through the breath of chakra even without observing with his eyes.
After understanding the basics, the ghost way can also be successfully performed after several trainings.
Of course, the part of the book that involves "village will" is still boring and uninformative.
The last class of the new week.
Iruka knocked on the podium heavily: "There is still one week before the graduation assessment, and you have to become real ninjas."
"So today. It's a practical class."
"Everyone gather in the playground."
There was a grumble in the class.
Compared with training and practical courses, they prefer theoretical classes.
The latter is a bit boring, but the teacher won't say anything if you slack off or slack off.
As for the former.
It's said to be a practical class, and there must be physical training after it ends.
I really don't want to run three kilometers!
But the students still left their seats honestly, either climbing over the window or going through the door to the playground.
After lining up, the students sat around a field.
"Is there any student who took the initiative?" Iruka raised his hand.
Naruto stood up immediately: "Teacher Iruka, I want to have a practical training with Uchiha Sasuke."
His tone was firm.
In the past few days, teachers and classmates have not changed their views on me.
He knew very well that he lacked an opportunity, an opportunity for teachers and classmates to understand his changes.
And now. It's here.
Iruka was about to refuse.
Although Naruto was getting better, he was obviously not on the same level as Uchiha Sasuke.
But the words of refusal were not spoken yet.
The instructions of the Third Hokage a few days ago came to mind.
He quickly changed his words: "Okay, since Naruto insists, Uchiha Sasuke, come and practice combat with Naruto."
The students were surprised.
In the past, Iruka teacher would not agree to Naruto's unreasonable behavior so easily.
Uchiha Sasuke stood up coldly and walked to the central venue with Naruto.
"The first round of practical training."
"Uzumaki Naruto vs. Uchiha Sasuke."
"Start!"
Iruka teacher picked up his notebook, retreated outside the venue, and announced the start.
The battle did not break out immediately.
Uchiha Sasuke put his hands in his pockets and looked at the person opposite coldly: "Uzumaki Naruto, you will never be my opponent."
"We both carry different things."
"A guy with a big heart like you is not qualified to be compared with me."
"Iruka teacher should arrange a more worthy opponent for me."
The cheers of the little girls surged.
Naruto did not speak.
Chakra gathered under his feet and blasted out instantly, stretching his figure like a line, just as Uchiha Sasuke's voice fell.
Golden flash——
The cheers sounded like they were celebrating this scene.
Uchiha Sasuke's pupils widened.
So fast!
He barely raised his hand, with the cross in front of him.
But Naruto's hand had already grabbed his face and smashed it down hard.
"Capacity?"
"Do you need to talk about this kind of thing?"
There was a rumble on the ground, and the smoke and dust splashed into a ball, mixed with Naruto's calm voice.
He raised a fist with one hand and reached behind his waist with the other hand, hooking two kunai with his index and middle fingers.
Fist towards the smoke and dust.
With a click——
A piece of hardwood was knocked out.
It was a substitute technique.
There was a breath moving quickly in the smoke.
Naruto was not surprised at all. In his eyes, the ribbons were fluttering. Those were the ribbons that only he could see, symbolizing the breath of chakra.
There were two representing Uchiha Sasuke.
A potential crowd circled behind him, and a bright one rushed to the left.
He waved his hand.
Kunai shot in those two directions.
"You have indeed made some progress, but you are still far from me." Sasuke's voice came from the left.
Naruto ignored it and didn't even look to the left.
That was the clone.
The real Sasuke was——
He reached out and grabbed the thicker breath and turned around.
Sure enough, it was behind him.
Uchiha Sasuke, who looked extremely embarrassed and failed to dodge the first attack, was raising a kunai and shooting.
Clang!
But that's the case.
That kunai and the one that Naruto shot in advance collided in the air and fell to the ground.
The clone on the left was shot into a ball of mist by another kunai.
Sasuke's eyes were shocked.
How could he notice it!
After being hit for the first time, he used the clone technique at the moment when he used the substitute technique to escape.
And let the clone interfere.
He didn't even look at it?
Is he so sure that he is behind him?
As his thoughts surged.
Another golden light streamed.
Naruto stepped closer, slashing with one hand and reaching behind his waist with the other.
Sasuke was prepared this time, his hands were not in his pockets, and he could barely keep up with this speed, raising his hands to defend.
But.
The attack came suddenly from his feet, hooking his calves, causing the center of gravity to change suddenly.
Naruto easily flipped Sasuke over.
He fell to the ground with a bang.
Sasuke wanted to move again.
His neck was slightly stinging, and a worn-out, no longer so sharp kunai pressed against his Adam's apple.
"You lose, Uchiha Sasuke." Naruto said softly, announcing the result.
Uchiha Sasuke was unwilling, but did not refute.
He looked at Naruto, his expression shocked and confused.
It was hard to understand, in just a few days, this last-place student had changed so much.
Iruka and other students were also unbelievable.
Uchiha Sasuke actually. Lost.
Naruto straightened his back and looked at Sasuke calmly: "You have something heavy to carry."
"But this is not a reason for you to look down on your opponent."
"You are not a strong man yet."
"You are not qualified to look down on others from a high place."
Sasuke gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
He lowered his head.
I can't even beat a last-place student now?
Naruto paused for a moment and raised his voice, not only to Sasuke, but also to Iruka and his classmates.
"The result is obvious."
"I am not a last-place student."
"I am also a genius."
