Hokage: I really don't want to work hard!Kakashi

"Holy crap! Why isn't it a sapling? Isn't this disgusting?"

Naruto quickly shook off the mud on his hands and wiped it carefully with a towel. Fortunately, it didn't stink like real mud, otherwise he would have been sickened to death.

"Did I make a mistake? The proportions are wrong or the position of the combination is wrong?"

Naruto fell into deep thought and made several more attempts to gain new power by changing the proportions and combination positions of water and earth chakra, but no matter how he tried, all he got was mud, although he did get a new one. "Mud Escape", but this is far from the imagined Wood Escape.

"What exactly went wrong? Did I overlook something? Or was the theory wrong from the beginning?"

Naruto was deep in thought, but looking at the piles of mud with different hardnesses in front of him, he still couldn't figure it out.

"Forget it, let's try the ice first."

After thinking about it for a long time without an answer, Naruto was ready to take it step by step. He started with the ice shield. With the experience of "mud escape", the ice shield was much easier than imagined, and he could also adjust the water and wind. The ratio determines whether solid ice or ice mist is generated. Although it is not a true ice shield ninjutsu, this harvest has made Naruto very satisfied.

A few days later, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura made an appointment to come to the examination room. The first thing they had to do was to register. At this time, a lot of people had gathered at the registration point. Naruto was expressionless, but he kept looking around. He quickly found the person he cared about in the crowd, Kabuto, the undercover agent Orochimaru placed in Konoha.

"Naruto Uzumaki! Come and duel with me!"

Just when Naruto was about to touch Kabuto, an energetic voice sounded. He almost didn't have to turn his head to know who was speaking, it was Xiao Li who was full of youth.

Naruto turned around and saw that it wasn't just Xiao Li who came, his teammates, Neji and Tenten were also there.

"Huh? Are you going to duel again? Okay."

Naruto didn't like Xiao Li very much, but he knew that Xiao Li was a stubborn person. If he refused, he would definitely be troubled, not to mention there were so many people here.

The people around him also looked over because of Xiao Li's voice, as if they were watching a good show.

"Hey~~Okay, come on, rock, scissors..."

"Wait! Wait wait! Just wait a moment!"

Just as Naruto was about to use rock, paper, scissors to decide the outcome, Xiao Li hurriedly stopped in a panic.

"No! You can't use rock-paper-scissors! Let's have a fair fight with me!"

"Ah? I'm still busy signing up. The registration will be over soon."

"It won't take up much of your time, please enlighten me!"

Xiao Li got into a fighting stance. Naruto glanced around and found that almost everyone present was looking at this. He suddenly became the center of attention. If it was normal, he could easily defeat Xiao Li. But Kakashi told him very clearly to hide his strength.

"Hiss~~Okay, but let's say it first and stop there."

"Of course!"

Seeing that Naruto agreed, Xiao Li immediately rushed in front of Naruto and tried to knock Naruto down with a leg sweep. Naruto jumped up to avoid the leg sweep and put his hand on Xiao Li's head, trying to jump behind Xiao Li, but Before Naruto could touch Xiao Li's head, Xiao Li had already grabbed Naruto's hand.

Xiao Li turned around and threw Naruto over his shoulder, but Naruto jumped into the air with one hand on the ground. Xiao Li appeared behind Naruto in a flash and wanted to hug Naruto from behind.

Naruto immediately hit Xiao Li's chest with his elbow, knocking Xiao Li back. The two of them landed almost at the same time. Just as Xiao Li was about to continue the offensive, a kunai was placed on his neck.

"The outcome has been decided, and I won."

Xiao Li looked at the two Narutos behind him and in front of him, and fell into shock. He had been attacking fiercely from the beginning. In his opinion, Naruto should not have time to form the seal, but in fact, a shadow appeared. Doppelgänger.

"This is the shadow clone? When did it happen?"

Naruto shrugged, and the shadow clone holding Xiao Li's neck with a kunai turned into white smoke and disappeared. Of course, he would not tell Xiao Li that he did not form a seal at all. This was what Kakashi had explicitly said, and he must form a seal. , but fortunately, the shadow clone only has one seal. Even if it does not form a seal, most people will only think that Naruto secretly formed a seal when he did not see it, and will not associate it with the Muji Ninjutsu.

"Of course it was when you weren't paying attention. Can I sign up now?"

Naruto originally thought that Xiao Li would be hit, or at least a little discouraged, after being defeated by him, but the reality was completely the opposite. Instead of being hit, Xiao Li seemed to be inspired, clenching his fists as if to cheer him up.

"It seems that my practice is not enough! Okay! In this case, today's practice will increase from [-] kicks to [-] times, and running around the village will increase from [-] to [-] times!"

Naruto twitched the corner of his mouth and rolled his eyes. He was just glad that Kai was not here, otherwise they would have hugged each other and cried again.

"I really don't understand how a person like you, whose brain is all about muscles, can think. Forget it, Erzhu, Sakura, let's sign up."

Now that he had successfully signed up, he was stopped by someone as soon as he turned around. It was Kabuto who Naruto wanted to contact before but was interrupted by Xiao Li.

"I watched the battle just now. It was really exciting. Your name is Naruto Uzumaki, right? My name is Kabuto Yakushi. If you don't mind, I can take you to the rest room."

Kabuto's enthusiasm made Naruto realize that he had thoughts about him, at least he wanted to get more information about him, but he also wanted to contact this dream master, so he nodded without any hesitation.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you."

"Haha~~ I'm kidding, come with me."

Kabuto walked in front, and the three of them followed behind. Sasuke still had that stinky face, but Sakura approached Naruto uneasily and lowered her voice.

"Naruto, is it really okay for us to follow this man?"

"Don't worry, I know this man, Kabuto Yakushi, is a war orphan. He grew up in an orphanage. This is his seventh time taking the Chunin Exam. In this regard, he is considered our senior."

Kabuto's calm face showed waves, and he looked back at Naruto in surprise.

"I didn't expect you to know me so well. As far as I know, we have never met before, right?"

"Yes, but I have seen your information in ANBU's information."

"I see, it would make sense if it were you, but I didn't expect to be remembered by you."

Kabuto was relieved and even joked easily with Naruto, who shrugged and said nothing.

After following Kabuto into the lounge, everyone found that there were already many people in the lounge, and most of them were ninjas from other countries. Each of them looked fierce and extremely evil.
