Just when Naruto was moving and excited to devour the miso noodles in the bowl, he didn't know that in his home, the "strange fish" that he had just "gotten" home, at this time, had already jumped out of the fish box by himself, and stood on the ground with a humanized attitude, looking incredible.

"I finally deceived that demon, but fortunately, another more powerful demon didn't bother to pay attention to me, otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to get out of that 'demon house'!" The strange fish stretched its fins, much like a human stretching his waist.

The strange fish jumped to the window, looked at the outside scenery, and said with great satisfaction: "The taste of freedom...... That's nice! ”

"It's a pity......" After observing the scenery outside for a while, the strange fish complained a little dejectedly, "I can't just leave like this now, otherwise, those demons will definitely discover my secret, and when the time comes, the fate that awaits me will definitely be a slice study, which is really terrible!" ”

Thinking of the time when he had just fallen into Xiao Fan's hands, the strange fish shuddered, and then, it jumped and returned to the fish box again.

"During this time, it's better not to be too prodigal, just be an ordinary 'salted fish' with no IQ, and when those demons forget my existence one day, I will fake my death and get out, thinking that the stupid child who picked me out of that demon cave will definitely not find out my secret!" The Strange Fish is confident in this, and it feels like it is about to see "freedom" beckoning to it!

…………

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it's time for Naruto and the others to take their graduation exams.

"The person who was called is coming to the next classroom!" Iruka held the roster in his hand and spoke about the exam in front of the podium, "Then, the topic of this exam is the art of clones!" ”

"Ahh

Under the podium, Naruto's heart was about to come out when he heard Iruka say this—why was it so unlucky? I just happened to test my worst ninjutsu!

"But that's okay!" Naruto, who came to the next classroom, said to himself with a serious face, "I'll give it a try!" ”

"The art of clone!" Naruto's hands were sealed, and in an instant, blue chakras overflowed, forming an oval shape that surrounded Naruto.

"Bang-"

With the end of Naruto's seal, a burst of smoke suddenly rose, and after the smoke dissipated, it was seen that in addition to Naruto, there was another figure that was paralyzed on the ground and looked like Naruto - this figure was Naruto's own shadow clone that "drummed" in this exam!

"Uh......" looked at his masterpiece, and the corners of Naruto's mouth began to twitch extremely violently.

As for Iruka on the other side, he was also staring at Naruto's "doppelganger" thing speechlessly, and for a while, he only spit out the word "fail" in anger.

Iruka's verdict was like a bolt from the blue for Naruto.

"Iruka-sensei!" At this time, another teacher on the side persuaded Teacher Iruka to come, "His body and endurance are quite good, and now he can barely be regarded as a doppelganger, even if he passes, it will ......."

Before Naruto could show his excited expression, Iruka interrupted the teacher's words a little helplessly: "Everyone can be separated into at least three people, but Naruto only has one, and this can only get in the way, I can't let him pass!" ”

Hearing Iruka-sensei's words, Naruto's face was filled with indignation.

…………

Outside the ninja school, many recent graduates wearing Konoha forehead guards gathered in twos and threes to discuss today's exams excitedly.

"I'm on my own!" There is a young ninja who has just graduated and is showing off his accomplishments to his parents.

"Well done, worthy of my son!" The parents also responded excitedly to their son.

"Congratulations on your graduation, Mom will make you something to eat tonight!" Another mother is praising her child.

Outside the entire ninja school, there was a festive and jubilant appearance.

Under a large tree across from the ninja school, Naruto sat sullenly on the swing, in stark contrast to the prosperity on the other side.

Naruto's demeanor naturally attracted the attention of everyone in front of the ninja school, and some gossip came into being.

"Hey, kid!" One woman gestured to another woman beside her.

"That's the kid!" The other woman who got the look instantly understood, and nodded in response.

"He seems to be the only one who has failed!" The woman who spoke first sighed.

"He deserves it!" The other woman snorted very harshly.

Hearing this woman's words, the first woman to speak also reacted in an instant, and said in an even more bitter tone: "It would be bad if that kind of person became a ninja, after all, that child ......."

"Hey, you can't say the next thing!" Someone next to them immediately cut off the conversation between them, so the two women looked at each other and went home with their own children.

At this time, Naruto, who was sitting on the swing in frustration, suddenly felt a strange movement beside him, and turned his head to see a familiar figure looking at him gently.

This one stared at Naruto's figure, and like Iruka-sensei, he was the judge of this exam.

…………

The sun was setting, and the afterglow of the setting sun had not yet completely extinguished, and at the top of the Konoha area, closest to the setting sun, Naruto sat on the floor with the exam-examiner who had called him away, discussing what was happening at the ninja school today.

"Iruka-sensei is not trying to make things difficult for you!" So said the examiner named Mizuki.

"Then why does he always target me?" After hearing Mizuki's words, Naruto muttered with some dissatisfaction.

"I guess, it's because he wants Naruto to really make you stronger, after all, you all have no parents!" Mizuki-sensei sighed lightly and pretended to comfort Naruto gently.

"But...... I really want to graduate! At this time, Naruto had also calmed down, he looked at the "golden world" shrouded in the setting sun, and muttered a little dazed.

Suddenly, Mizuki, who felt that Naruto had taken the bait, couldn't help but show a playful smile, but this smile was fleeting, and soon, he adjusted his facial expression, and said in a helpless tone: "I can't help it, I'll tell you a particularly big secret!" ”

"Secret?" Naruto's eyes were blank, but he couldn't help but have a glimmer of anticipation in his heart.
