Chapter 12: Performance

Sure enough, when he arrived in the classroom, he found that he was the first to arrive.

Naruto came to his seat and sat down, closed his eyes, and waited for the exam to begin.

Theoretically, after today, they will completely bid farewell to their student careers this year and become a real ninja with Konoha forehead guards.

Ninja, whether this title stands for "a person who uses ninjutsu" or "a person who knows how to endure", is no longer a teenager sitting here in class, but an existence that may face a battle between life and death at any time, and use his ninja skills to survive alone.

If nothing else, the meager monthly allowance he received from the village should have left him.

After all, he is a ninja, and he can get paid through tasks, and it is not realistic to receive it again.

Naruto didn't have any grievances about this, the meager relief money was only enough to meet his most basic life on weekdays, and he even stared at specials to buy food, and he never changed his ninja equipment or the like.

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

He has always wanted to change a set of suffering, preferably the kind of Tiantian family, his old suffering has been as thin as a piece of paper because he has been polished too many times, and can only be used as a shuriken, and if you fight with someone, I am afraid that it will be broken at once.

"Morning, Naruto."

"Early."

At this time, someone came in and interrupted his thoughts, it was Ino, but he didn't expect her to be the second to arrive.

The two said hello briefly, and then sat in their respective places and continued to wait.

With one more person, the atmosphere in the classroom was a little awkward, and Ino seemed to want to talk to relieve it, but she really couldn't think of any topic, and it wasn't until now that she was surprised to find that she knew almost nothing about the top student in the class, and this slight embarrassment could only continue like this.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long, and with the arrival of class members, the whole classroom gradually became lively.

"Alright, everyone be quiet."

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

"I think you all know what day it is, and you're all ready for it, right?" Iruka said as she looked around the classroom until her gaze swept over Naruto's body and paused slightly.

He was basically asking Naruto this question, and he was anxious and worried at this time knowing the question of today's exam.

Iruka really couldn't understand how Naruto, who usually had the best academic performance, was so slow in the doppelganger technique, even if he divided his talent in physical skills into the doppelganger technique, it wouldn't worry him.

“……”

Naruto, for his part, looked out the window a little dishearteningly.

“…… Okay, whether you can become a real Konoha ninja depends on your next performance, now follow me to the line, the exam room is in the next classroom, and the students who read their names come in. Iruka was a little angry when he saw Naruto's appearance, but he had no choice but to prepare for the exam according to the procedure.

The group followed Iruka to the corridor and lined up, and Naruto quietly came to the end of the line.

When passing by Hinata, I made eye contact with her, and after seeing her nod, I went straight to the end of the line.

In fact, this look didn't have any special meaning, it was just a reminder, because when she sent Hinata home yesterday, Naruto had told her to 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 it, I'm afraid that I will "fail" the exam later, and it will be Hinata who will come to comfort him, so it will be a little embarrassing, after all, there is a third person present for such a thing as stealing the Book of Seals, Naruto is afraid that Mizuki will be embarrassed to speak.

At this time, as the people in the class entered and exited the examination room, the line began to shrink continuously.

It's normal.,After all, this so-called graduation exam is actually more formal.,The real test of the lower ninja is after the class.,After so many years,The school teachers can't say that everyone's level is not much worse than the palm view.,Except for a few real stupid hats and guys like Naruto.,I believe that there is no way to pass the assessment of the three-body technique.。

The simple test made the queue visibly shorter, and finally, when the person in front of him came out and called him in, the real test began.

"Nice, Mizuki is here."

The moment he entered the door, Naruto quickly swept the entire room, and when he saw the white-haired Mizuki sitting on the right side of Iruka in the middle, he let out a cheer in his heart, and his face remained silent.

"Naruto, this is the third time, and your last chance, I hope you give me a little serious!" Before he could say hello, Iruka stood up from her seat, pressed her hands on the table and stared at him.

Obviously, Iruka was even more nervous than he was at this point.

"Well, Iruka-sensei calm down first, and then start, you're going to make him nervous." Mizuki on the side hurriedly asked Iruka to sit down, and said with a smile on his face.

In that way, it is really like a gentle teacher, if you don't know what it is.

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

He, the actor who has been acting since he crossed over, thinks that his acting is not bad, and it just so happens that today everyone will compete with each other in their acting skills to see who can act to the end.

"Don't worry, Mr. Iruka, if it wasn't for the doppelganger technique in the first two tests, I would have passed the test a long time ago, and I will definitely pass this time." Pretending not to know, Naruto began to perform.

In fact, the graduation exam of the ninja school is usually taken three times in the last week, which is basically the final test of the students' three-body skills, and it is very relaxed, and it is basically passed after one, but most people will still take the test all three times to prove that they have the ability to be a reliable ninja.

However, when he arrived, there was a difference, because the items that everyone took the test casually were random, but it was probably in the order of the three-body technique, and people like him who had already taken the doppelganger twice, and even the third time was still a doppelganger technique, almost never saw it.

Naruto guessed that maybe this was Mizuki's trick, after all, he was one of the examiners, and of course, it was not impossible that it was arranged from the village.

"This time it's also a doppelganger." As soon as Naruto's words fell, Iruka said expressionlessly behind the table.

"Nani?!" The actor mode was turned on instantly, and Naruto's face and expression froze at first, and then he staggered back slightly for half a minute as if he seemed to be incredulous, portraying the stunned state at this time.

He gave himself 90 points for this wave of performances, and he was afraid that he would be too proud to deduct 10 points first.

"Alright, let's get started, you have to remember Naruto, this is your last chance." Iruka's brows furrowed, and the way Naruto showed made him even more heartless.

But he will not give in on matters of principle after following the rules all his life, and he has decided at this moment that if Naruto still can't pass this time, then let him repeat it for a year until he masters this technique.

"Uh...... Good. Naruto raised his hand and wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, and stepped forward with a slight trembling footsteps.

"The art of clone!"

With a bang, a cloud of white smoke came out from the right side of Naruto's body as Naruto's spell was completed.

However, after the smoke cleared, both Iruka and Naruto's faces suddenly became extremely ugly, huh...... The latter, naturally, is pretended.

The smoke cleared, and a mass of what looked like a human and couldn't tell what it was lying on the ground, announcing the failure of the technique in a comical way.

“……”

At this moment, the classroom suddenly fell into an awkward silence.

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

"Fail!"

"No-" Naruto suddenly possessed and stretched out his hand to shout.

It was extremely pompous, but fortunately, neither Iruka nor Mizuki had a ghostly mind here at the moment, otherwise his expression, which was very different from his usual calm style, would probably cause suspicion.

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

"Teacher Iruka, isn't it too strict, this is his third time, and he is a doppelganger in the exam, I think he will pass it, with this child's usual grades, I think it is enough to graduate." Mizuki, who is familiar with Iruka's character, began to pretend to be a good old man at this time.

Naruto really wanted to see how wonderful and funny Mizuki's expression would be if Iruka let him pass by the water.

However, fortunately, this situation did not happen, Iruka just took a deep breath when he heard this, and said: "No, no matter what Naruto's usual grades are, exams are exams, you look at his doppelganger, the others are at least three, and he doesn't even look like one, how can this make him pass." ”

With that, Iruka got up directly, picked up the last ninja forehead guard on the table, and walked straight out the door.
