"Then I'll try again."
Naruto answered.
Immediately afterwards, he used the transformation spell again.
Unfortunately--
Nothing happened except for the white mist.
"Again."
"Still no response?"
"Then I'll do it again."
"No response again?"
"I'll do it again and again and again."
In just a few minutes, Naruto used the Transformation Jutsu more than a dozen times.
"Cough cough cough!!!"
In an instant, the entire classroom was filled with smoke, making it impossible to open one's eyes and extremely choking, as if someone had thrown a dozen smoke bombs into the classroom.
The classroom was filled with the sound of coughing, and students opened the windows one after another.
As soon as the window was opened, a large amount of smoke rushed out of the classroom.
From a distance, someone who didn't know better might think the classroom was on fire.
"Cough cough cough!!!"
After coughing violently a few times, Iruka, his nose almost crooked with anger, shouted, "Naruto, your transformation jutsu is substandard!!!"
Naruto shrugged, put his hands in his pockets, and sat back down in his seat without looking back.
same time.
Sasuke's face twitched when he heard Iruka declare Naruto's grades unsatisfactory.
He kept his eyes on Naruto the whole time.
He always felt something was wrong.
How could Naruto not even know the Transformation Technique?
In fact.
He wasn't the only one who noticed something amiss.
Shikamaru leans lazily against the chair.
He also didn't believe Naruto couldn't use the Transformation Technique.
He had known Naruto for so long, and just a few days ago he had seen Naruto use that strange massage technique.
There's no way Naruto couldn't even perform a simple transformation technique.
At this moment, Naruto returned to his seat.
Hinata, standing to the side, looked worried.
"Naruto-kun, if you fail the Transformation Jutsu exam, doesn't that mean you won't graduate?!"
"Pretty much." Naruto nodded casually. "I don't care, it's not a big deal if I repeat a year anyway."
Actually——
He wasn't unable to use the transformation technique; he did it on purpose.
the reason is simple.
He is determined to uphold his unwavering belief and become an excellent "salted fish" (a person who is lazy and unambitious)!
He's determined to go further and further down the path of becoming a complete slacker!
He's going to become the ultimate repeat student!!!
If I pass the graduation exam smoothly, does that mean I'll become a genin?
Once you become a genin, wouldn't you have to do missions day and night?
Wouldn't I be exhausted to death?
Then how will I have time to enjoy fishing?
Wouldn't that mean I've gone astray on the path to becoming a lazy bum?!
That won't do!
This doesn't suit my laid-back, laid-back self at all!!
So that's why~
Graduating and becoming a genin will only slow down my fishing casting speed!!!
He repeated a grade at the ninja academy and had plenty of time to fish every day.
Wouldn't that be even better?!
At that moment, Hinata heard that Naruto had failed his exams and would have to repeat a year, and her heart tightened.
A moment later, a resolute look appeared on her lovely face, as if she had made up her mind.
Then, she looked at Naruto with an unprecedentedly serious expression.
"If Naruto-kun repeats a grade, then I'll repeat a grade too!"
"No, if you choose to repeat a year because of me, your dad will definitely chase me down with a knife and hack me to pieces if he finds out." Naruto quickly shook his head and waved his hands upon hearing this.
"But..." Hinata wanted to say something more.
"It's alright, you don't need to worry about me," Naruto said, gently stroking Hinata's purple hair.
"Well... alright then." Since Naruto had already said that, Hinata could only nod.
At that moment, Iruka's voice rang out.
Hinata Hyuga.
"Go ahead, and be sure to do your best on the exam."
Naruto cheers on his wife.
"Ah."
Hinata nodded emphatically.
She then walked towards the podium.
As expected, she performed the transformation perfectly.
Successfully passed the transformation test.
Then it was other students' turn to take the exam.
After a while.
In the entire class, everyone except Naruto failed.
Several other students also failed.
Iruka wrote "Unqualified" after their names.
He then looked around at the students in the classroom, his gaze lingering on Naruto for a few seconds before looking away.
"Everyone, follow me. I'll take you to another classroom for the clone technique test."
Then, he looked at Naruto and added another sentence.
"Those who are not qualified are also welcome."
(Please give me flowers~ Please give me votes~ My fellow Yanzu fans~)
Chapter 20 Fallacies? Even a crooked tree isn't as crooked as you!
In the classroom corridor.
The students lined up and waited at the door of a classroom.
Every student's face was filled with excitement and trepidation.
This exam is crucial to whether I can become a capable genin.
At that moment, the classroom door was opened.
Uchiha Sasuke came out.
He held a Konoha headband in his right hand.
The students in the corridor, seeing this, all had shining eyes and were extremely envious.
As Sasuke walked down the corridor, a slight smile involuntarily crept onto his lips as he passed Naruto.
He intended to provoke Naruto with the Konoha headband, but he disappointed him instead.
Naruto completely ignored him.
Upon witnessing this, Sasuke gritted his teeth and left the classroom corridor.
at the same time.
Naruto and Hinata were snuggling together.
Soon, Iruka's voice came from the classroom.
"Naruto Uzumaki, it's your turn."
"Oh, here we come."
Naruto responded.
"Naruto-kun, do your best."
Hinata cheered Naruto on.
"Ah."
