Naruto just wants to be a god of death.

Chapter 5 I am also a genius

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't knock on the door again.

I just listened from the corner for a long time, the sound of knives chopping on the chopping board, the gurgling of soup, and the aroma of meat wafting in the air.

Compared to when Naruto started to have his own ideas, what was happening right now made him feel that the threshold for acceptance was higher.

The "nest" that used to house the Jinchūriki now begins to feel like "home".

Sarutobi Hiruzen comforted himself.

There is nothing wrong with it.

Isn't this what I was looking forward to before? I hope Naruto will be fine. If the Fourth Hokage sees this scene, he will also be relieved.
But why do I feel a little uneasy?

I still know too little about Naruto.

He turned and left.

Decided to observe carefully during this period of time.

Jinchūriki, you must not go astray.

Uzumaki Naruto has changed a lot.

My classmates at the Ninja School were the first to feel it.

The boy who was hated by everyone a few days ago suddenly became not so annoying anymore.

The most noticeable change is the change in attire.

Before, Naruto had always been wearing a dirty high-necked orange sportswear, which looked rustic, sloppy and ugly.

And now he finally took off that tracksuit.

She changed into a pure white hoodie without any pattern decoration, which matched her blonde hair perfectly. She matched it with grey cropped pants, giving off a sunny and clean feeling.

"That Uzumaki guy has become much more pleasing to the eye." During the lunch break, Yamanaka Ino, who was having lunch with Haruno Sakura, suddenly uttered these words.

Haruno Sakura followed her gaze.

Uzumaki Naruto seemed no different from usual - at least that was the case in her eyes. He was still sitting alone in his seat, eating lunch alone.

"He can make his own lunch?" She soon discovered something strange. Naruto had a lunch box in his hand! Although the side dishes and rice were not as exquisite as those made by her parents, it looked like they might taste pretty good.
Yamanaka Ino hesitated: "It doesn't seem so? We used to eat bread."

She doesn't know either.

Before this period of time, who would care about this guy Uzumaki Naruto?

"Even if he's a little better, so what? He's still far behind Sasuke." Haruno Sakura crossed her arms and looked past Naruto to Uchiha Sasuke who was sitting not far away. "The last one is the last one. Maybe this is his new trick to attract attention."

She didn't like Naruto.

Yamanaka Ino shook her head and said nothing, but she didn't quite agree with this point of view in her heart.

Compared to the students, the teachers at the ninja school were more able to notice some of Naruto's inner changes.

He began to study seriously!

No more skipping classes, no more sleeping, excellent grades
In almost an instant, he was transformed from a "last-place student" to an "excellent student".

However, most teachers still disliked him, and even hated him more - the news of Naruto "beating" the convenience store owner had spread, but he did not suffer any punishment. The Third Hokage was even "partial" to Naruto, forcing nearby stores to do Naruto's business.

They had almost the same idea as Haruno Sakura.

I feel that this damn kid can’t possibly study well and will only be enthusiastic for three minutes.

What's more, now that graduation is approaching, what's the point of pretending!

Naruto is really interested in the knowledge of ninja.

Before, he just thought these things were boring. Since the teacher didn’t encourage him and his classmates didn’t welcome him, he had no intention of learning.

But after returning from the Maou Spiritual Academy.

Looking at the textbooks again, I feel refreshed.

The understanding and definition of "Chakra", basic knowledge of physics, and the application of the three-body technique.
Although in essence, chakra and spiritual power are two completely different powers - one comes from the body and the other comes from the soul.

But the techniques for using them are the same.

"Spiritual Network" - a technique of sensing and identifying spiritual energy taught by the Shinyang Spiritual Arts Academy, can also be performed through "chakra", which allows him to distinguish the specific people around him through the breath of chakra even without observing with his eyes.

After understanding the basics and training for a few times, the ghost technique can be performed smoothly and successfully.

Of course, the part of the book that deals with the "will of the village" is still boring and uninformative.

The last class of the new week.

Iruka slammed the podium, "The graduation exam will begin in one week, and you will become true ninjas."

"So today is a practical class."

"Everyone gather in the playground."

There was a feeling of resentment in the class.

Compared with courses such as training and actual combat, they prefer to take theoretical classes.

The latter is a bit boring, but the teacher won’t say anything if you slack off or do nothing.

The former's words.
Since it is a real battle, there must be physical training after it is over.

I really don’t want to run three kilometers!
But the students still obediently left their seats and went to the playground through the windows or doors.

The students lined up and sat around an area.

"Is there any student who would like to take the initiative?" Iruka raised his hand.

Naruto stood up immediately: "Teacher Iruka, I want to have actual combat training with Uchiha Sasuke."

His tone was firm.

During these few days, my teachers and classmates have not changed their views of me.

He knew very well that he lacked an opportunity, a chance for his teachers and classmates to understand the changes in him.

And now. It's here.

Iruka was about to refuse.

Although Naruto is getting better, he is obviously not on the same level as Uchiha Sasuke.

But the words of refusal have not yet been uttered.

The Third Hokage's instructions from the other day came to mind.

He quickly changed the topic: "Okay, since you insist so much, Uchiha Sasuke, come and have actual combat training with Naruto."

The students were surprised.

In the past, Teacher Iruka would never agree to Naruto's unreasonable demands so easily.

Uchiha Sasuke stood up coldly and walked to the central venue with Naruto.

"The first actual combat training."

"Uzumaki Naruto versus Uchiha Sasuke."

"start!"

Sensei Iruka picked up his notebook, stepped outside the venue, and announced the start.

The battle did not break out immediately. Uchiha Sasuke put his hands in his pockets and looked at the person opposite him coldly: "Uzumaki Naruto, you will never be my opponent."

"We both carry different things."

"A guy like you doesn't have the qualifications to be compared with me."

"Iruka-sensei should have given me more worthy opponents."

The little girls cheered.

Naruto said nothing.

Chakra gathered under his feet and blasted out in an instant, stretching his figure like a line, just at the moment when Uchiha Sasuke's voice fell.

Golden Flash——

The cheers sounded like a celebration of this moment.

Uchiha Sasuke's pupils dilated.

So fast!

He barely raised his hands, with the cross in front of him.

But Naruto's hand had already grabbed his face and slammed it down hard.

"tolerance?"

“Do I need to keep talking about this kind of thing?”

There was a loud rumbling sound, and smoke and dust splashed into balls, mixed with Naruto's calm voice.

He raised one hand into a fist and reached behind his waist with the other, hooking two kunai with his index and middle fingers.

Fist towards the smoke.

A click——

A piece of hardwood was knocked out.

It's a substitution technique.

There was air moving quickly in the smoke.

Naruto was not surprised at all. In his eyes, the ribbon fluttered. It was a ribbon that only he could see, symbolizing the aura of chakra.

There are two representing Uchiha Sasuke.

A potential crowd of people circled behind him, while a bright and upright crowd rushed to the left.

He waved his hand.

Kunai shot in those two directions.

"You have made some progress, but you are still far from me." Sasuke's voice came from the left.

Naruto ignored it, not even glancing to his left.

That's a clone.

The real Sasuke is——

He reached out and grabbed the thicker breath and turned around.

Sure enough, it was behind me.

With his face covered in dust and his forehead stained with blood, Uchiha Sasuke, who failed to dodge the first attack and looked extremely embarrassed, was raising a kunai and shooting.

Bang!

But that being the case.

The kunai and the one Naruto fired earlier collided in the air and fell to the ground.

The clone on the left was shot into a ball of mist by another kunai.

Sasuke looked shocked.

How could he notice that!

After being hit for the first time, he used the substitution technique to escape, and then he performed the clone technique.

He also let his clone interfere.

He didn't even look at it?

Are you so sure that I am behind you?

Thoughts surged.

Another golden stream of light.

Naruto stepped closer, slashing down with one hand while reaching behind his waist with the other.

Sasuke was prepared this time. His hands were not in his pockets, so he could barely keep up with the speed and raised his hands to defend.

but.
The attack comes suddenly from the feet, hooking the calf and causing a sudden change in the center of gravity.

Naruto easily knocked over Sasuke.

He fell to the ground with a bang.

Sasuke wanted to move again.

There was a slight pain in my neck, and a worn-out, no longer-so-sharp kunai was pressing against my Adam's apple.

"You lose, Uchiha Sasuke." Naruto announced the result softly.

Uchiha Sasuke was unwilling, but did not refute.

He looked at Naruto, looking shocked and confused.

It's hard to understand how this last-place finisher has changed so much in just a few days.

Iruka and the other students were also surprised.

Uchiha Sasuke actually lost.

Naruto straightened his back and looked at Sasuke calmly, "You have a heavy burden to carry."

"But this is not a reason for you to underestimate your opponent."

"You are not strong yet."

“I don’t have the right to look down on others from a high place.”

Sasuke gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

Keep your head down.

Now I can't even beat the last one?

Naruto paused for a moment and raised his voice, speaking not only to Sasuke, but also to teacher Iruka and his classmates.

“The results are clear.”

"I'm not the last one."

“I’m a genius too.”
