Konoha: I, Uzumaki Sukuna, become stronger when I turn evil!

That night.

Because Naruto's body was overloaded when he lent it to Ryomen Sukuna, he slept until the night after meeting Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Knock knock knock!"

Naruto was sleeping soundly when the door was knocked again.

"Who is it...?"

He opened his eyes drowsily and got out of bed with difficulty.

"Iruka-sensei?!"

When he opened the door, it was Iruka standing at the door.

The moment Iruka saw Naruto, a subtle apology flashed in his eyes.

But soon, he returned to normal.

"I heard that you have been sleeping since you came back."

"You can't not eat."

"I'll treat you to ramen!"

Iruka smiled slightly and said with concern.

"Ramen?!"

When Naruto heard the word 'ramen', he instantly became energetic!

If there is anything that can make him 'resurrect with full blood', it must be Ichiraku Ramen in Konoha!

"Really?"

"Teacher Iruka is so generous~~~"

"I'll go change my clothes now!"

Naruto rushed back to his room impatiently, packed up briefly, and left home with Iruka.

Konoha at night was still bustling with people.

Villagers came and went on the streets.

Shops were still shouting enthusiastically to attract customers.

Naruto and Iruka walked side by side, their faces full of joy.

Although Iruka was usually very strict with him, he would often treat him to his favorite Ichiraku Ramen after he was punished for making trouble.

He may have some doubts and alienation with the Third Hokage, but so far, Iruka is still very reliable.

Naruto walked beside Iruka, looking at the parents and children on the street who he used to envy, and he seemed to feel less lonely.

"Thank you! Teacher Iruka!"

Naruto thanked Iruka again.

"By the way, why did Iruka-sensei suddenly want to treat me to ramen?"

Iruka smiled and said:

"Because you have been doing very well in school recently, I know you must have put in a lot of effort."

"Also, tomorrow is the graduation exam of the Ninja School..."

Here he came, and seemed to remember something, and stopped abruptly.

On the other hand, Naruto did not notice anything unusual, and continued Iruka's words, vowing:

"Don't worry, Iruka-sensei! I will definitely pass tomorrow's exam!"

"After tomorrow, I will be a Genin!"

Because Ryoma Sukuna solved the problem of the Nine-Tails' chakra interference for him, Naruto was also confident that he would pass the exam.

But Naruto did not notice that when he said that he would graduate successfully.

Iruka subconsciously avoided his gaze, and his expression seemed a little gloomy.

After all, he had just accepted the order of the Third Hokage, and knew that Naruto would not be able to graduate from the Ninja School for the time being.

He felt a little guilty, so he specially invited Naruto to eat ramen.

He tried to control his expression and didn't show it, forcing a smile to comfort him:

"It's okay."

"Even if you fail the exam, the teacher will treat you to ramen again!"

"Thank you, Mr. Iruka! Mr. Iruka is really the best to me!"

Naruto didn't care and agreed with a smile.

This scene was seen by Lin Kong in the spiritual world.

He looked at the unstoppable joy on Naruto's face, sneered and said to himself:

"Little brat!"

"When you know everything, can you still laugh so happily like now?"

"When trust completely collapses, can you still stick to this childish idea now?"

He was familiar with the original work and had already planned how to completely change Naruto's path.

The closer and more trust Naruto has to Iruka now, the greater the mental blow he will suffer later.

As for Iruka... he is just a 'chess piece' used in his plan!

He will not let Iruka change Naruto.

The view returned to the outside.

Soon, Naruto and Iruka arrived at Ichiraku Ramen.

"Uncle!"

"I want a bowl of ramen! A large portion!"

As soon as Naruto sat down, he couldn't wait to order the ramen.

Iruka didn't have much appetite, so he only ordered a small portion.

"I'm starting!"

When the ramen was served, Naruto put his hands together and said a "prayer before the meal".

Then, he began to eat heartily.

"Delicious~~~"

"Ichiraku Ramen is really the most delicious!"

While enjoying the ramen, Naruto kept praising it.

On the other hand, Iruka was a little distracted throughout the whole process, and I don't know what he was thinking.

Fifteen minutes later.

"Iruka-sensei~~~"

"I can eat another bowl"Naruto waved his hand in front of Iruka who was distracted. Iruka came back to his senses and blurted out: "Sure!" "Eat as much as you want today..." He hadn't finished speaking when he turned around and was stunned! "Then Ludo! !" "Even if it's my treat, you don't have to empty my wallet!" "In just a short while, you actually ate five bowls? ? ? " He looked carefully and found that there were five empty bowls on Naruto's desk without him noticing! Naruto scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "I slept for a day and I just happened to be hungry." "Can I have another bowl? "

Iruka was completely speechless.

When he finally left Ichiraku Ramen, Iruka's wallet, which was originally bulging, was deflated.

After the two finished eating ramen, they walked around the village for a while, and finally went back to rest.

...

The next day.

The Ninja School ushered in this year's graduation exam.

Naruto got up early and arrived at the school with full confidence.

The content of the graduation exam is the most basic assessment.

Physical skills, ninjutsu, throwing of ninja tools, comprehensive scoring...

Because Naruto did not have the interference of the Nine-Tails Chakra, and he had been practicing physical skills in recent times.

He completed all the assessments easily.

Even his performance in the assessments was better than most students.

The exam lasted until the afternoon.

Inside the classroom.

Iruka stood on the podium and began to announce the list of graduates for this exam.

"Uchiha Sasuke, comprehensive score A, congratulations on graduation!"

"Nara Shikamaru, comprehensive score B, congratulations on graduation! ”

“Hinata Hyuga, overall score B, congratulations on your graduation!”

“...”

Iruka kept announcing the names of students who had successfully graduated.

Under the podium, those students who heard that they had graduated were all relieved and smiling.

Naruto in the corner was calm.

Because he was confident that with today's performance, he would definitely pass the exam and officially become a Genin of Konoha.

“Haruno Sakura, overall score B, congratulations on your graduation!”

“The above is the list of graduates of this exam!”

“The teacher will distribute Konoha's ninja forehead protectors to everyone later. I hope that after becoming a Genin, everyone will continue to work hard and become a Chunin as soon as possible!”

“...”

Naruto: “???”

Naruto’s face was full of question marks!

Teacher Iruka, why are you already giving graduation speeches?

I haven’t heard my name yet?

Naruto was immediately anxious and stood up to ask Iruka:

“Teacher Iruka! "

"Did you forget to announce my results?"

The originally noisy classroom suddenly became quiet because of Naruto's words.

On the other hand, Iruka looked at Naruto with a serious face, and then said:

"Uzumaki Naruto, ninjutsu, taijutsu, ninja tool throwing... all the assessments have passed."

"But your academic performance is too poor, and your comprehensive scores in the past are low."

"After several teachers discussed, it was decided to temporarily let you stay in school for observation."

"You can't graduate in this exam."

After Iruka's voice fell, Naruto was dumbfounded on the spot!

Around, the discussion of other students also came:

"Hahaha! I knew that the last one will be the last one!"

"It seems that he is the only one in the class who has not graduated? It's ridiculous!"

"If I were him, I would probably want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into!"

"Teacher is wise! This monster is not worthy of being a ninja of Konoha! "

"..."

Hinata, who was not far away, looked at Naruto with a worried look on her face and said:

"Narodo-kun..."

Nijushi just glanced at Naruto and looked away with disdain.

A person who couldn't even graduate from the ninja school was not worth his attention at all.

"Narodo... this is too pitiful."

"Who made him always make trouble before!"

Sakura sighed lightly, feeling helpless about this result.

For a while, the classmates looked at Naruto with different eyes.

More of them laughed at Naruto's inability to graduate.

Naruto listened to the laughter of the classmates around him and subconsciously clenched his fists.

"Bang! !"

In the end, he could only reluctantly knock open the door and escape from the classroom.

Iruka looked at Naruto's back as he left, shook his head and sighed inwardly:

"Narodo... I'm sorry..."
