Chapter 4 Rapid Growth

This time, Naruto learned the Shadow Clone Technique, and also learned the training methods of Rasengan and Flying Thunder God Technique. It must be said that he gained a lot. The reason why Naruto was so eager to learn Shadow Clone was to speed up his training speed. Using Shadow Clone can increase his training speed exponentially. However, without Yamato's cooperation, Naruto can only maintain about 100 Shadow Clone for training.

Training and fighting are different. Fighting requires instantaneous bursts of energy, while training requires long-term maintenance. Naruto is able to do this because of his better control of chakra and stronger mental energy. Although he can only sustain about a hundred people, it is already very terrifying.

From then on, almost every night in a corner of the Konoha Ninja Village, hundreds of people would appear climbing trees together, or hundreds of people would stand on the water and run, or throw darts at targets. Fortunately, Naruto chose a relatively remote place and no one discovered him.

Since there was no class on this day, Naruto went to the woods to practice as usual. Suddenly, he saw several children surrounding a little girl. When he walked closer, he found that it was "Hyuga Hinata". Although she is more introverted, she will grow into a great beauty in the future.

Naruto jumped out of the woods and shouted, "How can a few people bully a little girl? Get out of here!" Seeing that it was just a boy of the same age, the group of children laughed and said, "Everyone, come on!"

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique", Naruto created 20 shadow clones to surround them. Seeing that the situation was not good, someone shouted "Everyone, run!" The kids disappeared in an instant. Naruto did not chase them, but turned around and said to Hinata: "If anyone bullies you in the future, come find me." Hinata was still so shy, and said in an almost inaudible voice: "Thank you, Naruto."

Seeing that he had successfully saved the beauty, Naruto thought that this beauty would never forget him. So he waved his hand and pretended to be very cool, "Just come to me if you have any problems in the future," and then left. Although it was a small thing, it left a deep impression on Hinata. Naruto didn't expect that it would be so easy to capture the heart of a beautiful woman. It seems that he should pay more attention to his image in the future.

Speaking of image, Naruto first changed his hairstyle and got a standard handsome hairstyle. In addition, Naruto's excellent performance in school, like Uchiha Sasuke, was called the genius of this class, and also attracted the attention of countless girls. However, unlike Sasuke, Naruto prefers to get along with people, unlike Sasuke, who is like a wooden man. Therefore, Naruto is more popular with his classmates.

The school days went on as usual. Naruto continued to practice with the help of Shadow Clone. He soon became extremely proficient in tree climbing and water exercises. His chakra control had reached a new level. It seemed that it was time for him to learn Rasengan and Flying Thunder God Jutsu, but he could not give up the practice of physical skills.

Whether it is the Rasengan or the Flying Thunder God Technique, the difficulty of learning is very high. Even with the shadow clone, it is not easy to increase the speed of practice. Moreover, the shadow clone has a disadvantage, which is that it will accumulate fatigue. This caused Naruto to basically doze off in class, but because he is a good student, Iruka did not make it too difficult. On the other hand, Naruto's appetite is very amazing. In this regard, we have to thank the care of the Third Hokage. No matter what, Naruto can still eat enough.

Due to long-term ninjutsu training and the practice of shadow clones, Naruto's speed in practicing ninjutsu can be said to have reached an extremely terrifying level. The several years in the ninja school passed quickly in Naruto's practice.

On this day, the graduation exam of the Ninja School finally arrived. The exam questions were very simple, just a test of physical skills, three body skills, and some basic knowledge of ninjas. These were simply the easiest things for Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke, who were known as geniuses and fascinated thousands of girls in the class.

In a few years, Naruto not only mastered the Three Body Technique to a level very close to Kakashi, but also his physical skills were only slightly worse than Lee's. Lee had to admit defeat when he created two shadow clones. In terms of ninjutsu, he not only mastered the Rasengan but also the extremely perverted ninjutsu Flying Thunder God, but this was his last resort and he would not use it until the critical moment of life and death.

Because of Naruto's handsome appearance, excellent grades, and the fact that he is more approachable than Sasuke, Haruno Sakura likes Naruto more than Sasuke, but she still likes Sasuke a little.

Soon after the exam, the groups were divided. Haruno Sakura and Yamanaka Ino both hoped to be grouped with Sasuke and Naruto, but in fact, the groups were matched according to the abilities of each member. In the end, Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto were still grouped together. Sakura was so happy, and Naruto naturally didn't ask the idiotic question of why he was grouped with Sasuke.

After the groups were formed, they waited for the jonin who would lead them in training. Kakashi was notorious for being late, Naruto just slept on the table, Sasuke was a relatively quiet person, and only Haruno Sakura was the most impatient. After waiting for the other jonin to leave for a long time, Kakashi, wearing a mask, appeared at the door with a sentence: "Sorry, I'm late."

Naruto was not surprised by this. Sasuke seemed a little dissatisfied and Sakura looked like she was about to explode. Even though he was late, Naruto felt that Kakashi was still a good person.
