go to his hokage dream

Chapter 12 Performance
Sure enough, when he came to the classroom, he found that he was the first one to arrive.

Naruto came to his seat and sat down, closed his eyes and rested his mind, waiting for the exam to start.

Theoretically, after today, their class will bid farewell to their student life, wear Konoha forehead guards and become a real ninja.

Ninja, whether this title represents "a person who uses ninjutsu" or "a person who knows how to endure", after all, he is no longer a boy sitting here in class, but will face life and death battles at any time, using his own ninja Skill alone exists to survive.

If there is no accident, the meager relief money he receives from the village every month should also leave him.

After all, he is a ninja, and he can get rewards through missions, and it is not realistic to continue to receive them.

Naruto has no complaints about this, the meager relief money is only enough to meet his most basic needs on weekdays, even when buying food, he only pays attention to the specials, and he never replaces ninjas and the like.

On the contrary, financial independence makes him look forward to it. Doing tasks in exchange for rewards to buy some things he wants to buy is the life he is used to.

He has always wanted to change to another set of kuyu, preferably the one from Tiantian’s family. His old kuyu has been worn by him so many times that it is almost as thin as a piece of paper, and can only be used as a shuriken. If a person fights with a knife, I'm afraid it will be broken in one fell swoop.

"Morning, Naruto."

"morning."

At this time, someone came in and interrupted his cranky thoughts, it was Ino, unexpectedly she was the second to arrive.

The two greeted each other briefly, then sat in their seats and continued to wait.

With one more person, the atmosphere in the classroom became a bit awkward. Ino seemed to want to talk to ease it up, but she really couldn't think of any topics to talk about. It was only now that she was surprised to find that she had almost nothing to this top student in the class. As far as I know, this slight embarrassment can only continue like this.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long. With the arrival of class members one after another, the whole classroom gradually became lively.

"Okay, everyone be quiet."

As the class arrived, Iruka walked in with the roster in his hand.

"I think you all know what day it is today, and you've all made your own preparations, right?" Iruka said while looking around the classroom until his gaze fell on Naruto and paused slightly.

He was basically asking Naruto this question. Knowing today's exam questions, he was anxious and worried at the moment.

Iruka really can't understand why Naruto, who is usually at the top of his academic performance, is so slow in the avatar technique. Even if he divides his talent in physical skills into the avatar technique, it won't worry him. .

"..."

On Naruto's side, he looked out the window with a guilty conscience.

"...Okay, whether you can become a real Konoha ninja depends on your own performance in the future. Now follow me to line up. The examination room is in the next classroom. Students who have read their names come in." Iruka saw Naruto looked a little anxious, but he had no choice but to prepare for the exam according to the procedure.

Everyone followed Iruka to line up in the corridor, and at this time Naruto also quietly came to the end of the line.

When passing by Hinata, he winked at her, and after seeing her nodding, he went straight to the end of the line.

In fact, this look doesn't have any special meaning, it's just a reminder, because when Naruto sent Hinata home yesterday, Naruto told her to let her go home after the exam without waiting for him.

This is mainly because I am afraid that Hinata will accidentally appear and cause unnecessary changes. If I don’t remind him, I’m afraid he will “fail” the exam later, and it will be Hinata who will come to comfort him. There was a third Naruto present who was afraid that Mizuki would be too embarrassed to speak about this kind of thing.

At this time, as people in the class came in and out of the examination room, the team began to shorten continuously.

It's normal. After all, the so-called graduation exam this time is actually more of a formality. The real test of ninja is after the class is divided. After so many years, the school teachers can't say that everyone's level is not much different from that of palm tattoos. , except for a few real idiots and Naruto who have ulterior motives, I believe that there is no one who will fail the examination of the three-body technique.

The simple test shortened the line of people visible to the naked eye. Finally, when the person in front of him came out and asked him to go in, the real test began.

"Nice, Mizuki is here."

The moment he entered the door, Naruto quickly scanned the entire room. When he saw the white-haired Mizuki sitting on the right of Iruka in the middle, he cried out in his heart, but his face remained calm.

"Naruto, this is the third time, and your last chance, I hope you will be more serious!" Before he could say hello, Iruka stood up from his seat, put his hands on the table and stared at him. .

Obviously, Iruka was more nervous than himself at this time.

"Well, Iruka-sensei calm down first, there is still a start, you will make him nervous." Mizuki at the side quickly asked Iruka to sit down, and said with a smile on his face.

That way, it's really like a gentle teacher, if you don't know his true colors.

"Brother Mizuki is an old actor, this level is okay." Naruto complained in his heart at this moment.

He, the actor who has been acting since time travel, thinks that his acting is not bad. Today, everyone will show off their acting skills to see who can act in the end.

"Don't worry, Mr. Iruka, if I hadn't taken the avatar technique in the previous two exams, I would have passed it a long time ago, and I will definitely pass this time." Naruto, who pretended not to know, began to perform.

In fact, the graduation exam of Ninja School is usually taken three times in the last week. It is generally a final test of the students' three body skills, and it is very loose. If you pass one, you will basically pass it, but most people will still pass it three times. Take the test to prove yourself capable as a reliable ninja.

However, when he came to him, there was a difference, because everyone's test items are random, but they are generally in the order of the three-body technique. Like him, he has taken the avatar test twice, and even the third time is still the same. Avatars are almost never seen.

Naruto guessed that maybe this was Mizuki's trick. After all, he was one of the examiners. Of course, it is not impossible to arrange from the village.

"This time the test is also about avatar." As soon as Naruto's voice fell, Iruka behind the desk said with a blank expression.

"Nani?!" The actor mode was activated instantly, and Naruto's expression froze at first, and then he staggered back slightly in disbelief, vividly portraying the state of astonishment at this moment.

He gave himself ninety points for this wave of performances, and temporarily deducted ten points for fear that he would be too proud.

"Okay, let's start, you have to remember Naruto, this is your last chance." Iruka frowned, and Naruto's appearance made him feel even more frustrated.

But he, who has been following the rules all his life, will not give in on issues of principle. He has already decided at this moment that if Naruto still can't pass this time, he will be asked to repeat the study for another year until he masters this technique.

"Uh...Okay." Naruto raised his hand to wipe away the cold sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, and stepped forward with slightly trembling steps.

"Separation technique!"

With a bang, as Naruto completed his spell, a cloud of white smoke emerged from the right side of his body.

However, after the smoke dissipated, both Iruka and Naruto's faces suddenly became extremely ugly, um...the latter is naturally pretending.

The smoke dissipated, and a group of things that looked like people and couldn't tell what it was lying on the ground announced the failure of the operation in a funny way.

"..."

There was an awkward silence in the classroom at this moment.

After a long time, Iruka, who had recovered to his expressionless face, slowly picked up the engraved seal on the table, and pressed it mercilessly against Naruto's file.

"failed!"

"No—" Naruto immediately possessed himself, stretched out his hand and shouted.

That look was extremely flamboyant, fortunately neither Iruka nor Mizuki who harbored evil intentions were thinking about it at the moment, otherwise this expression, which was very different from his usual calm style, would probably arouse suspicion.

He himself felt a bit too much here, and hurriedly managed his expressions. At the same time, he could only give himself 1 point for this wave of acting.

"Mr. Iruka, isn't it too strict? This is his third time, and he passed the exam. I think he's the only one who passed the exam. With this kid's usual grades, I think it's enough to graduate. "Mizuki, who is familiar with Iruka's character, began to pretend to be a good guy at the right time.

Naruto really wanted to see how wonderful and interesting Mizuki's expression would be if Iruka let him pass smoothly.

But fortunately, this situation did not happen. Iruka just took a deep breath and said: "No, no matter what Naruto's usual grades are, the exam is the exam. Look at his avatar. There are three, and he doesn't even look like one, so how can this make him pass."

With that said, Iruka got up straight away, picked up the last ninja forehead protector on the table, and walked straight out the door.
