Is this still the lazy, gluttonous, shameless Naruto?!
However, this was just the beginning... Naruto finished his meal, stretched with a big yawn, and everyone thought he was going to sleep. However... he actually started forming hand seals, activating the Chakra Refining Technique!
Even more terrifying was... he hadn't put away the textbook in his hand!
"What, what is that...?"
"Practicing the Chakra Refining Technique while continuing to study the contents of the textbook?!"
"Is he even human?!"
At this time, the moon had gradually risen.
The new moon had also become a little fuller day by day.
By the time the moon was almost full, it would be the final exam for this semester.
Which was... the last moment for Naruto to achieve his goal of reaching the top ten in the class, as he had said.
"Could it be that, for the sake of that promise, Naruto has really been working this hard all along?"
Time flowed on.
Soon, the bustling Konoha Village became quiet under the night sky.
Only the chirping of insects and birds occasionally sounded, adding to the tranquility.
Naruto had been practicing with Divided Attention for a long time, finally stretching and putting down his textbook.
Just as Iruka-sensei thought he was going to rest... Naruto began a new training session.
"What, what is that...?"
Naruto's eyes shone with a firm, iron-like gaze. He formed hand seals and instantly activated the secret technique he had created.
"Transformation!"
Iruka-sensei rubbed his eyes, straining to see clearly through the glass.
The next moment... "Sexy Technique!"
With a puff of white smoke, a charming, exquisitely graceful young girl's body instantly appeared. She even blew a light kiss in Iruka's direction, humming softly... "Ah—"
Iruka was instantly dumbfounded. Then, the intense stimulation caused his nose to gush blood, and his entire body was sent flying with a bang!
But he forgot he was high up on an electric pole. He frantically clawed with both hands, but it was too late. He fell heavily to the ground, blood still spurting from his nose!
"Nar... Naruto, you guy..."
"To actually create such a boring Ninjutsu!"
"Hmm?"
In his home on the second floor, Naruto seemed to hear something. He quickly, in the form of 'Naruko' from the Sexy Technique, unhesitatingly rushed to the window, pushed it open, and looked down at the street below.
Iruka's old face flushed. He quickly stemmed his nosebleed and hid in the darkness.
"What the heck, was I just imagining things?"
'Naruko' shook her head, returned to her original form, but then activated Transformation again.
"Sexy Technique!"
Iruka's heart pounded wildly. Daring not to linger, he plugged both nostrils with paper and scurried away like a thief, looking left and right.
"Hmph, Naruto, that move won't work on true strong ones..."
"It's the same for me..."
"Probably..."
Although he fled in a sorry state, his heart was filled with relief.
Naruto had truly grown a lot... He didn't intend to reveal himself and meet Naruto.
This was enough for now... Iruka-sensei smiled gently.
In the darkness behind him, the Anbu members were all speechless, but they had already seen Naruto's Sexy Technique many times, so they were largely immune.
"Iruka was wrong, that move is also effective against strong ones..."
"I remember Lord Third Hokage also..."
"Shh, keep your voice down, do you want to die?!"
Chapter 41: Treasure for Sasuke! I'm an even match for Sasuke! Please give me your monthly votes!!!
Chakra Refining Technique proficiency: 93 points!
Transformation Technique proficiency: 88 points!
Sexy Technique proficiency: 82 points!
Clone Technique: 70 points!
Divided Attention proficiency: 72 points!
Chakra amount: 108 points!
When Naruto finished his special training for the day, he checked his current attributes.
Seeing these greatly improved stats, his eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed.
"Chakra Refining Technique proficiency reached 93 points?!"
"This is my first ability to break above 90..."
But this was only natural. After all, with Divided Attention, his Chakra Refining Technique was almost constantly active, so the speed of proficiency increase was naturally soaring.
"Hmm, Transformation Technique and Sexy Technique both reached over 80. As expected of one of my best Three Body Techniques..."
"Even my least proficient Clone Technique has increased to 70 points!"
It's important to know that Ninja Academy Ninjutsu tests are usually between Clone Technique and Transformation Technique.
Now, even with Clone Technique, he could score 70 points, which was considered above average in the entire class.
If it were Transformation Technique, he could definitely get an excellent score!
"That's great!"
"My Chakra amount has also increased to over 100 points, at least ten times more than other peers..."
"This is my biggest secret weapon!"
As for his academic scores, Naruto also quickly reviewed them all.
Overall, there was a significant improvement, and his average score had already broken through a full 60!
From the original twenty or thirty, to forty or fifty, to now surpassing the pass line... For Naruto, this was no less than a complete transformation, a huge change like being reborn!
He silently deduced, "Hmm, the assessment usually consists of three items: academic, Ninjutsu, and sparring..."
"Academic score 60 points, Ninjutsu... if it's Clone Technique, probably 70 points, Transformation Technique should be 90 points, so let's say an average of 80 points. As for Ninja sparring..."
"Besides Sasuke, I shouldn't lose to anyone. I can at least get 90 points."
"60, 80, 90..."
"The total score is about 230 points..."
"With this score, among the 50 people in the class, I should be at least within the top 20..."
Naruto instantly frowned.
Normally, if he had such excellent grades, he would be laughing himself to death.
But the goal the system-big brother set for him was to be in the top ten of the class!
"Hmm..."
Naruto stroked his chin, carefully contemplating a solution.
"The weak point is indeed academics..."
"Although I've studied desperately, the time is still too short..."
"I need to get some more tutoring from Hinata."
"As for Clone Technique and Transformation Technique, of course, I have to keep practicing."
"As for Ninja sparring, when I go to sleep at night, I'll just continue to beat up Sasuke!"
"Yes, that's what I'll do!"
After finalizing his plan, urged by the system, Naruto instantly fell into a dream.
In his dream, it was still a continuous battle with Sasuke.
Naruto's win rate was also steadily increasing now.
From only winning one or two out of the first thirty-plus matches.
To now, it was roughly a seven-three split.
Sasuke seven, Naruto three.
Naruto was also summarizing the strengths and weaknesses of both sides.
His stamina, taijutsu, and Chakra amount surpassed Sasuke's.
However, Sasuke's Ninjutsu, fundamentals, and combat techniques were far superior to his own.
This led to Naruto knowing that his explosive power could defeat the opponent, but he always lost in the confrontation stage, suppressed by the opponent's excellent fundamentals and techniques.
Unless he completely unleashed killing intent... but in that case, he would lose his sanity, show no mercy, and try to kill Sasuke... Although he disliked Sasuke, he certainly didn't want to kill him.
More importantly, once killing intent erupted, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox within him would stir... So, the current Naruto was also practicing maintaining high battle intent and fighting spirit during combat, but without being affected by killing intent and hostility, achieving a state of balance.
This was, of course, not an easy task.
Sasuke's expression in his dream was as usual.
Cold, arrogant, dismissive.
"Hmph, Diao Che Wei, without the resolve to kill me, you'll never defeat me."
Naruto was already in a very sorry state, panting and exhausted.
But he still stubbornly shook his head.
"Facing an enemy I must kill, I will never hold back, but..."
"You are not that kind of enemy."
"What I want is to fight you fairly, and defeat you honorably!"
Sasuke sneered, "Too naive, Diao Che Wei!"
