Chương 7: Successfully Graduated from the Ninja Academy

"Haiyi, what's wrong with you today? You seem a bit out of sorts."

"Does this mean you've finally come to your senses and are planning to have a younger brother or sister for Ino?"

"Having a second child is a good thing, but Haiyi, you're already this age, so you'd better take it easy."

The next day, Yamanaka Inoichi, who was out on a mission, was noticed by his teammates to be in a strange state, so he was teased by his companions.

Yamanaka Inoichi, who was being teased, couldn't help but give a wry smile.

He didn't sleep well yesterday, but not because he and Rino were busy trying to make a baby. Instead, Rino made him kneel on the floor all night as punishment.

The reason is quite simple: Rino thinks that Yamanaka Inoichi went a bit too far last night.

He was sparring with two children, and they were fighting so seriously. What if he actually hurt them?

Faced with Rino's accusations, Yamanaka Inoichi was also at a loss for words.

After all, he didn't want things to turn out this way at first, but he didn't expect Yang Cheng's strength to be so great.

At first, he only planned to teach Yangcheng and Ino using the Three Body Techniques and some taijutsu, but he found that Yangcheng's taijutsu was exceptionally strong, so he also used ninjutsu.

But who knew that in the end, he would even use the secret techniques of the mountain tribe...

To be honest, although he won the match last night, Yamanaka Inoichi felt utterly humiliated.

After all, it's not something to be proud of for a Konoha Jonin with extensive combat experience to almost lose a fight against a twelve-year-old child.

However, compared to the withdrawn Yamanaka Inoichi, Yamanaka Rino was quite happy.

They even claimed that their family produced a super genius!

That's right. In Yamanaka Rino's eyes, Yoshiki was their family, and it was only a matter of time before he took the Yamanaka surname.

Putting aside the question of whether Yang Cheng and Ino have a future together, Yang Cheng was raised by them from a young age, and to outsiders, he was her child.

The next morning, Ino and Sakura went to school together again. That's how plastic best friends are; they were arguing like mortal enemies yesterday, but today they can be inseparable again.

Ino was unusually excited today, constantly telling her best friend how awesome she and Yang Cheng were last night.

He also claimed that the two of them working together almost put his father, a Jonin, in a tough fight.

Of course, Ino only threw a few shuriken during the battle, which she never mentioned.

What's wrong with throwing a few shuriken? That's still participating in the battle, okay?

Kakuzu: The girl is right. Her situation is the same as when I fought the First Hokage.

Ino's boasting was obviously not believed by her best friend Sakura, but considering their recent reconciliation, Sakura could only maintain an awkward smile.

Ino's father was a Jonin of Konoha, while Yoshinori and Ino were like him, only they were Genin who hadn't graduated.

Leaving aside Yang Cheng for the moment, Sakura is quite clear about the level of her best friend Ino.

If Ino could put her father in such a difficult situation, then there are only two possibilities.

Either Ino is bragging, or her father simply threw the fish into the sea.

The days passed quickly, and soon the Ninja Academy was welcoming its graduation season.

Iruka looked at the students in front of him, his expression filled with emotion.

Several years have passed, and he has become a witness to these children's growth.

The graduation exam for this ninja academy will focus on the Shadow Clone Technique, one of the three basic body techniques.

"Uchiha Sasuke, hmm, very good, approved!"

"Sakura Haruno, yes, you've passed."

As Iruka continued to call out names, the boys and girls stepped forward one by one, and all of them successfully used the clone technique and passed the test.

For Yang Cheng, who had already mastered the Shadow Clone Technique, the test on the Shadow Clone Technique was naturally a success.

until……

"Naruto Uzumaki, your grade is unsatisfactory!"

As the Konoha elite class, which consists almost entirely of descendants of Konoha ninja clans, most of the people present naturally passed the graduation exam.

Until the confident little Kizaru Naruto Uzumaki entered the scene and shouted "Clone Jutsu!" in a powerful voice, turning into a grayish-white useless clone.

Iruka, who had been keeping a smile on his face, finally couldn't hold back when he saw the clone Naruto had created.

"Teacher Iruka, I think we should give this child a chance."

After all, no matter what, he did successfully create a clone, didn't he?

Besides Iruka, the teacher in charge of the ninja academy graduation exam this time is Mizuki, who is also known as the "low-budget version of Tiger Skin".

Yang Cheng didn't have a deep impression of Shui Mu, after all, he was just a minor character.

Yang Cheng's only remaining impression of him was that the other man had a very beautiful fiancée.

"No, Ms. Shuimu, as proctors, we have a responsibility to ensure fairness and impartiality, and it's also our duty to these children."

"Look at this clone Naruto created. Would it be of any use on the battlefield?"

Iruka pointed to Naruto's clone on the ground, which looked like it was suffering from severe kidney deficiency, and said with a livid expression.

Most of the students at the Ninja Academy received ninja headbands from Iruka and left with praise from their parents.

Seeing Naruto sitting alone on the swing with a dejected look on his face, Yang Cheng was about to go over and comfort him when he realized that the low-end version of Tiger Skin had approached Naruto before him.

Yang Cheng did not want to interfere with Mizuki's use of Naruto to steal the Hokage scroll.

After all, without this incident, how would Naruto have learned one of his signature ninjutsu, the "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique"?

And to be honest, the fact that Naruto was able to steal the Naruto scroll from the Hokage Building is quite outrageous in itself.

Yang Cheng certainly wouldn't believe that the three generations of elders were unaware of the situation.

What kind of place is the Hokage Building? It's no exaggeration to say that it's the central hub of the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

As the Hokage's office, why is there no guard at all?

What is the Naruto scroll? It contains various forbidden techniques and secret arts left behind by the Hokage. If you're not a direct descendant of the Hokage, you don't even have the chance to glance at it. How could it be stolen by a kid who isn't even a Genin?

Naruto is attracting too much attention, so Yang Cheng doesn't want to get involved for the time being. Anyway, Naruto won't be in any real danger.

The only thing that Yang Cheng felt a little regretful about was the techniques recorded in the Naruto scroll.

Putting aside other techniques, he was quite interested in the Flying Thunder God Technique, the Impure World Reincarnation Technique, and the Mutual Multiplication Explosive Tags Technique developed by the Second Hokage.

Unfortunately, it's possible that the third-generation Deng was spying on the screen using a crystal ball.

Naruto watching the Naruto scrolls is fine, but if he watched them too, he'd most likely be taken to the Anbu for questioning.
