Chakra surged out from his body without restraint!
Unlike the hesitation of the past, this time the flow of chakra was extremely smooth!
It felt as if he had divine assistance, far exceeding his previous chakra levels.
Poof, poof, poof...
In the blink of an eye, the forest was densely packed with yellow figures.
"Naruto, this guy!" Behind him, Iruka's eyes widened.
He never would have imagined that Naruto Uzumaki, who couldn't even perform the basic Clone Jutsu, could unleash such a massive Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu, a forbidden technique!
Standing opposite Naruto... or rather, surrounded by Naruto, Mizuki's jaw dropped even further.
The Shadow Clone was a high-level ninjutsu capable of creating solid entities.
As just a teacher, he was merely an ordinary ninja.
He had never seen such an outrageous Shadow Clone in his life.
"I'm going to make my move!" x1000+
Naruto's shouts echoed from all directions.
The next moment, punches and kicks covered the sky and earth, blocking Mizuki's vision.
"Yamete!~"
Dust settled.
Looking at the bruised and swollen Mizuki at his feet, Naruto scratched his head awkwardly.
Seemed a bit heavy-handed. He won't actually die, right?
While he was apprehensive.
A figure suddenly appeared in front of them, startling both Naruto and Iruka.
However, seeing the rooster mask on the person's face, Iruka breathed a sigh of relief.
He recognized the person as likely an Anbu ninja, directly under the Hokage.
Naruto tilted his head, puzzled: "Boss?"
Musashi helplessly took off his mask.
"Yeah, it's me."
It could only be said that the sensory ability of the Uzumaki clan was extraordinary, and Naruto was too familiar with him. A mask simply couldn't hide his handsome figure and elegant temperament.
"Jonin Musashi." Iruka also didn't expect it to be an acquaintance.
Naruto: "Boss, why are you here?"
Musashi pointed to Mizuki on the ground. "Hokage's orders, bring the Scroll of Sealing and him back."
Seeing the visitor was from Anbu, the bruised and swollen Mizuki let out a regretful sound.
"D-damn it, just a little bit more."
Musashi mercilessly struck a blow: "Teacher Mizuki, stop lying to yourself. You were far from it."
"In the future inside, reform well and be a good person. Remember, don't try any funny business again; you don't have that level."
Mizuki: "..."
Does Anbu handle heart-piercing remarks in addition to interrogation?
Ignoring Mizuki, Musashi took the Scroll of Sealing from Naruto and tied it up.
He rubbed Naruto's hair and said, "Naruto, good job. Also, congratulations on learning the clone technique."
Naruto immediately looked delighted.
"Haha! Boss, I said mere graduation wouldn't stump me!"
"Alright, let's talk later when we get back. I'm going to the Hokage first."
Hokage's Office.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, having carefully put away the crystal ball, said: "Come in."
The door opened, and Musashi walked in, handing over the Scroll of Sealing.
"Lord Hokage, the Scroll of Sealing is intact. Mizuki has been taken over by the Interrogation Department."
"Mn." Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded with satisfaction. "How is Naruto? Today's events were still too sudden for him."
"The impact on Naruto was indeed great," Musashi said. "But with the care of you and Iruka and others, Naruto will be fine soon."
"That's good. Musashi, Naruto's matter is also thanks to you. It is precisely because there are people like you and Iruka by his side that Naruto can grow up healthily."
"Rest assured, Lord Hokage!" Musashi patted his chest and guaranteed: "Naruto is a very kind-hearted child. He is an inheritor of the Will of Fire."
"The burning burst of youth will definitely make the boy grow up healthy and upward!"
"Alright, alright! You can go. Sorry for calling you out on a mission suddenly; thank you for your hard work."
"In the era of youth, there is no hard work! Contributing to the village is the greatest happiness!"
Leaving the Hokage's office, Musashi returned home.
Without time to change clothes, he went straight to his bedroom and took out a scroll to draw and write.
Formulas and text appeared continuously.
Twenty minutes later, he carefully put away the scroll and changed back into his usual clothes.
At the same time, Naruto, having returned home to pack things for dinner at Musashi's house, was constantly rummaging through his messy room.
"Eh? Where are my goggles? I remember wearing them just now?"
...
Nighttime, at Musashi's house.
Ayame prepared a sumptuous dinner.
Originally intended to celebrate Karin's successful graduation, it temporarily changed to celebrating both Karin and Naruto's successful graduation!
Ayame raised the glass of juice: "Come, cheers to celebrate Karin and Naruto becoming ninjas!"
"Cheers!~"
At the dinner table, Naruto looked excited, imagining his future ninja life.
Executing S-rank missions, winning Sakura, becoming Hokage.
Becoming the hope of the entire village.
"Tch~" Karin rolled her eyes at the smug Naruto.
"Hey, Karin, what's with that expression?" Naruto said dissatisfiedly.
"Hmph! I'm looking at some guy getting too carried away."
"Ha! I think you're just envious that I'm too happy."
Karin raised an eyebrow. "Ha? Me envious of you?"
"By the way, the one who almost didn't graduate wasn't me, right?"
Naruto immediately had black lines on his face.
Compared to Karin's smooth sailing in the graduation exam, he was the one who almost failed.
Karin continued: "Also, even if you passed the graduation exam, it doesn't mean you are a qualified ninja."
"I heard people say that the leading Jonin will conduct another round of assessment. If they think you are unqualified, you might be sent back to repeat~"
Naruto swallowed nervously.
But immediately after, he pretended not to care.
"Haha... It's just a mere assessment. No matter who it is, they will acknowledge ore-sama's strength."
"When the time comes, he better be careful not to be accidentally beaten by me. I won't show mercy."
Karin: "The team leaders are usually experienced Jonin."
Naruto: "..."
Naruto immediately dared not brag anymore.
Even if he was confident, he wouldn't think he was a match for a Jonin.
He looked somewhat flustered at Musashi on the side.
"Boss, is the Jonin assessment strict? I won't be sent back to school, right?"
Musashi comforted: "Don't worry."
"Just perform your own strength."
Naruto relaxed a little. But then Musashi spoke, making him nervous again.
"However..."
"However what?" Naruto was startled.
Musashi said: "However, don't rush back later. I prepared some equipment for you, which you might use tomorrow."
Karin: "Big Brother, unfair. Why prepare for this guy? Where's mine?"
Musashi said: "Karin, your strength is already very strong, so you don't need it."
Karin: "Oh..."
Naruto: "(￢_￢)"
After the meal, Musashi kept Naruto behind and handed the prepared equipment to him.
"Boss, this is..."
"Special equipment for you."
