"Comfortable."
After fusing the chakra of a Chunin-level being, Lin Mo felt a surge of emotion.
Compared to refining it yourself, directly fusing chakra is incredibly easy.
He now possesses more than double the amount of chakra required for a Chunin-level ninja.
Becoming stronger is that simple.
While thinking this, Lin Mo turned his gaze to the two experience orbs.
[Experience with 1,000 push-ups] and [Experience with 1,000 kilometers of running]
These two orbs of experience are also beneficial to me.
So Lin Mo decisively touched and merged his hands, and in an instant, Lin Mo clearly felt that he had been tempered.
Lin Mo was merging with the training process.
the other side.
Tenten's ninja tool shop.
When Tian Tian returned, she looked at the closed door and was immediately astonished: "It's closed already?"
She hasn't come back yet.
Immediately, Tian Tian opened the door and went inside.
"It's every day."
As soon as Tenten opened the door and stepped into the ninja tool shop, Tenten's mother quickly came out from the back house, smiling and saying, "You're back just in time. I made a midnight snack, so you can eat it now."
As she spoke, Tian Tian's mother reached out and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"Hey? Mom, why are you sweating?"
Hearing his mother's words, Tian Tian scratched his head: "And your face is so red."
She noticed that her mother's skin was flushed and covered in sweat, as if she had just finished a workout.
"Because I incorporated my cooking experience, I developed a certain interest in it, and I've made quite a few dishes."
Tian Tian's mother smiled and said, "You'll be fine after a rest. The food is still warm. It's good that you're back. I thought you had eaten out since it was so late."
"Hehe, I ate a bowl of ramen."
Tian Tian scratched his head and chuckled, "I also went for a walk with Lin Mo. I'm not hungry now, but since you made this, Mom, I'll have some too. Let me taste your cooking."
"it is good."
Upon hearing this, Tian Tian's mother immediately went into the house and brought out several dishes.
I took a sniff and it smelled wonderful, so I immediately tasted it.
"Mmm, it's delicious."
One bite, and Tian Tian's eyes lit up: "This is even better than the dishes you used to make, Mom! This energy ball is truly incredible!"
I know my mother's cooking skills better than anyone.
The taste is even better now, and she could tell instantly.
My mother was simply a fusion of a chef's experience and light.
"yes."
Upon hearing Tian Tian's words, a hearty laugh rang out: "The experience orb over there from the shop owner is truly incredible. I really have to thank Mr. Lin Mo."
As Old Man Tian's laughter rang out, he walked out looking refreshed, praising the experience orb on Lin Mo's side.
"Hehe, that's right."
Hearing his father's words, Tian Tian squinted his eyes and said, "Actually, I can cook too. After all, I have some cooking experience. I was originally thinking of showing off my skills, but with Mom here, I won't."
"So every day when you have free time, you should go to the shop owner's place more often."
Old Man Tian chuckled and said, "Anyway, you don't have any missions lately."
"Well, I only have one teaching assistant position at the school right now, but graduation is approaching, and I should be finishing up my tasks by now. I can go and hand over my responsibilities."
Tian Tian pondered, "After the mission is handed over, as long as the teacher doesn't summon us, we can relax a bit, and then it's time for training. We can train in Mr. Lin Mo's backyard."
My previous presence at the school was to take on relevant teaching assistant tasks.
That kind of task was a perk for her.
And you don't have to go to school every day.
Even if you go, it's just a simple guidance session, very easy, and you can earn a reward.
"Hmm, not bad."
Hearing what Tian Tian said, Tian Tian's parents nodded.
After everyone finished eating, they tidied up briefly and closed the shop completely.
It continued until the next morning.
When Tiantian woke up and got out of bed, she could already hear the noise coming from outside the store.
Every day, I quickly get dressed and walk to the store, only to find my parents already busy at work.
Neatly arranged shelves lined the store entrance, displaying rows of jars that gleamed in the morning light, attracting the attention of many passersby.
Next to the shelf stood a meticulously crafted sign with neat lettering and clear content, clearly prepared specifically for this event.
"To thank our customers, our shop is launching a special promotion. For just one hundred taels of silver, you can smash a jar containing all sorts of ninja tools, explosive tags, shuriken, and more."
Event time: 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM daily. Limited quantities available, first come, first served!
Special reminder: Each person is limited to three cans per day, don't miss this opportunity!
Every day, he would raise an eyebrow as he looked at the notice board.
I didn't expect my parents to act so quickly.
Early in the morning, it had already attracted some curious ninjas and civilians.
"What kind of sales method is this? This is the first time I've seen it, it's quite novel."
"Interesting. One hundred taels per attempt. If you manage to get an explosive tag, wouldn't that be a huge profit? You know, an explosive tag costs over a thousand taels."
"It's interesting that Tenten's family's ninja tool shop sells them like this. Once my child graduates, I can bring them over to open a couple of cans."
At this moment, as some people were talking, Tian Tian's parents greeted the guests with smiles.
"The shop owner's sales method is really good."
Witnessing this scene, Tian Tian was once again certain of Lin Mo's existence.
This marketing method is indeed very popular.
It's already so lively so early in the morning.
It gets even more popular in the evening.
Especially since the ninja academy students are taking exams these past two days, her family is going to make a fortune!
Go train in Lin Mo's backyard.
By the way, tell Lin Mo about this exciting good news!
Thinking this to herself, Tian Tian walked toward Lin Mo's jar shop.
the other side.
The entrance to the ninja school.
Iruka grabbed Naruto as he arrived, gritting his teeth, and said, "Naruto, I heard last night that you stole the Scroll of Seals from the village? Is that true?"
He really wanted to find Naruto last night, but after searching around, he couldn't find him and had to give up.
What followed was a group of ninjas leaving, seemingly because the Book of Seals had been found, which left him with a sense of absurdity.
Seeing Naruto Uzumaki so early in the morning, he felt he needed to ask Naruto some questions.
"Ah, yes."
Hearing Iruka's words, Naruto scratched his head and said, "There's nothing to hide."
Iruka: "."
Hearing Naruto's words, Iruka's face darkened, and he growled through gritted teeth, "You idiot, do you know what you're doing? You actually stole something like that?"
"I'm doing this to pass the exam."
Naruto scratched his head and said, "Mitsuki-sensei told me that all I needed to do to pass the graduation exam was get the Scroll of Seals. Then I got it, and when I realized everyone was looking for me, I put the Scroll of Seals back."
Iruka: "."
When did Shuimu tell you?
Iruka's expression changed drastically, filled with shock and anger.
It's SMTH!
He wondered why Naruto Uzumaki had heard of the Scroll of Seals.
Only seasoned ninjas would know about the Book of Sealing.
How could a student who isn't even a ninja, or even a disciple of a major clan, possibly know about the Book of Sealing?
Most importantly, the Scroll of Seals is either kept in a secret location in Konoha or in the Hokage's house, making it impossible for anyone to steal it, and no one would attempt to do so.
That's a treasure of a ninja village, how could it not be protected?
So when he heard Mizuki say yesterday that Naruto Uzumaki stole the Book of Seals, his first reaction was disbelief.
How did Naruto Uzumaki know the location?
Even if the location was known, how could the theft have been carried out?
This is full of suspicious points.
But before he could think it through, he was notified to investigate immediately, and even the teachers at their ninja academy were notified.
Logically speaking, these matters should be entirely left to the village's secret service.
Asking the teachers in charge of instruction to find someone seems like making a mountain out of a molehill.
However, these questions could not be answered yesterday, and given the importance of the Book of Seals, he subconsciously ignored them.
Even late into the night, he considered staking out Naruto's house, only to be stunned when he heard that the Scroll of Seals had been found and a group of ninjas had returned.
When I got to Naruto's house, I found that Naruto wasn't home yet, so I went back first.
This morning, I waited patiently here and finally met Naruto. The news I got from Naruto was completely unexpected.
"Just yesterday."
Naruto scratched his head: "We parted ways after having ramen yesterday, but Iruka-sensei, I've already learned the Shadow Clone Technique!"
With that, Naruto Uzumaki, eager to try, rubbed his hands together excitedly: "I can show you anytime. Have you prepared the money you promised to lend me?"
Iruka: "."
"Come with me to Shuimu now."
Iruka rubbed his temples, then decisively pulled Naruto along, heading straight for Mizuki's office.
He truly hadn't expected that Naruto Uzumaki learned about stealing the Scroll of Seals from Mizuki.
"It's Iruka-sensei."
When Iruka brought Naruto to Mizuki's office, Mizuki's pupils constricted sharply upon seeing Naruto, then he smiled and said, "Weren't you in charge of today's graduation exams? What brings you here?"
"Mizuki, Naruto said you told him that he could graduate by stealing the Book of Seals."
Iruka cut to the chase, coldly asking, "Is that so?"
"I didn't say that."
Upon hearing Iruka's words, Mizuki looked astonished and said, "I informed you yesterday that Naruto Uzumaki stole the Scroll of Seals because I summoned you, and not just you. As for the matter of stealing the Scroll of Seals, I never said that."
"impossible!"
Upon hearing Mizuki's words, Naruto Uzumaki hurriedly said, "It was you who told me yesterday, otherwise I wouldn't know where the Scroll of Seals is. You said that if I could steal the Scroll of Seals, I could graduate."
"I really didn't say that."
Mizuki shook his head and smiled wryly, "I went to the ninja tool shop yesterday, but I didn't see you there at all."
"I suspect someone used a transformation spell to impersonate me and deceive you."
"Otherwise, I would have already been taken away by the Dark Guard for investigation, instead of being here talking to you now."
"The Book of Seals is a village secret. Not even a Jonin could steal it, let alone me, let alone a student who isn't even a ninja."
"Huh? Is that so?"
Naruto was shocked to hear Mizuki's words.
To his astonishment, Shui Mu was blatantly lying.
But it also seems to make some sense?
Iruka also frowned, lost in thought.
Yes.
If it really was Mizuki who ordered Naruto to do it, he should have been taken away by the Anbu ninja for investigation long ago.
That's the Book of Seals.
If what Mizuki said is true, then it's indeed normal that the Anbu didn't come to take Mizuki away.
Thinking of this, Iruka looked at Mizuki apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you, Mizuki-sensei."
"During the exam, I'll need you and me to speed things up, because after the exam, we'll need to register information and take photos."
"Um."
Hearing Iruka's words, Mizuki nodded: "Go and gather the people first, I'll be there in a bit."
"Let's go, Naruto."
Iruka immediately took Naruto away, and Naruto, who was about to say something, was dragged away.
"What exactly is going on?"
As Mizuki watched Mizuki and Naruto leave, his brows furrowed.
What happened last night also deviated from his plan.
It was indeed him who said that he wanted to use Naruto Uzumaki to steal the sealing scroll so that he could leave with it.
After entering the forest, Naruto Uzumaki disappeared.
I searched around but couldn't find it.
They even went to Naruto's house but couldn't find it.
Naruto Uzumaki was not waiting for him at the agreed-upon location at all.
When he tried to look for it again, he heard that the Book of Seals had been retrieved.
He felt incredibly nervous.
Because he had instructed Naruto to steal the Scroll of Seals, if the Anbu found out about this, he would definitely be taken away for investigation.
But after a night of fear and anxiety, the Dark Guards didn't even come, as if nothing had happened.
Mizuki himself suspected that someone might be impersonating him and giving instructions to Naruto.
So when faced with Iruka's persistent questioning, he made up an excuse.
It's been a whole night, and the Anbu haven't come looking for him, which means that the task he gave Naruto could be easily passed off by someone else.
This also relieved him.
But he was still a little nervous, fearing that the secret service might come again.
Therefore, he needs to talk to Naruto Uzumaki. He wasn't the one who ordered Naruto to create it. As long as Naruto Uzumaki expresses this speculation, he can deny it when the Anbu comes looking for him later.
Thinking of this, Mizuki squinted.
perfect.
"But that damn idiot actually returned the Book of Seals."
The next second, Shuimu muttered another curse under his breath.
If I had obtained the Book of Seals yesterday, I would have already left Konoha and lived a carefree life.
Immediately afterward, as the sound rang out, Shui Mu headed to the classroom.
In the classroom, a group of students were already prepared, lined up in an orderly fashion in front of Iruka, ready to perform the Three Body Techniques and have Iruka score them. If they passed, they would be given ninja headbands.
When Mizuki arrived, Iruka invited him to sit down and presided over the students' exams.
As one student after another used their transformation and clone techniques, Iruka and Mizuki gave their grades, and most of them graduated.
When it was Naruto's turn, he triumphantly formed hand seals, and immediately, "bang bang bang" sounds rang out, and more than a dozen identical Naruto Uzumakis appeared out of thin air.
"hiss!"
The students around, whether they had already taken the exam or were waiting for it, all stared wide-eyed at this sight.
"When did this loser become so amazing?"
"Why can his ninjutsu create more than a dozen clones? It's unbelievable, does he even have that much chakra?"
"Isn't he the worst student?"
"Seriously, can a clone technique create this many clones? These are just afterimages!"
One student after another was utterly astonished.
Naruto Uzumaki's reputation as a bottom-of-the-class student is well-deserved, but now, during his graduation exam, he suddenly revealed more than a dozen clones.
This requires not only proficiency in ninjutsu, but also a high level of chakra.
Most importantly, isn't the maximum number of clones you can create with the clone technique?
The group of students were dumbfounded.
Not only were the students bewildered, but Iruka was bewildered as well.
It's only been a day!
How did Naruto become so proficient in the Shadow Clone Technique?
He couldn't even do that clone technique.
The Book of Seals' contribution?
"Damn it, it must be a ninjutsu from the Book of Sealing."
Meanwhile, Mizuki, who was smiling, was filled with rage as she watched this scene.
It can only be done with ninjutsu from the Book of Seals.
If Naruto had given him the scroll yesterday, he would have been able to learn this ninjutsu!
"This bottom-ranked student has been hiding their true abilities all along?!"
Sasuke Uchiha's eyes narrowed suddenly as he watched Naruto's actions.
Naruto's clone technique instantly made him feel threatened.
Even he couldn't create so many clones!
This bottom-ranked player was hidden so well!
"hey-hey."
Seeing the shock of those around him, Naruto Uzumaki felt extremely smug.
If he hadn't gotten the Naruto manga from the shop owner, he wouldn't have been able to attract so much attention so easily, and not even be disliked.
In that instant, Naruto felt even more grateful to Lin Mo.
In the original situation, even if I had mastered the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, not many people would have seen it.
But now, things are different!
"qualified!"
Iruka quickly gave a score and awarded Naruto Uzumaki a ninja headband.
"Um, Iruka-sensei, the money!"
Naruto Uzumaki didn't take it; instead, he excitedly rubbed his hands together and looked at Iruka.
The ninja headband is completely unimportant; money is the most important thing.
As long as you have money, you can go to the shop owner to open a jar!
Then become stronger!
"I know, I know."
Upon hearing Naruto's words, Iruka's face darkened: "Wait a minute."
I want it now.
Naruto puffed out his cheeks: "I'm afraid you'll forget."
Iruka: "."
"Mr. Mizuki, could you please take charge of this for me?"
Iruka greeted Mizuki and then left with Naruto.
Arriving at his office, he opened a drawer, took out the money he had prepared beforehand, and handed it to Naruto Uzumaki, looking speechless: "Why are you in such a hurry for money? Don't worry, I've already prepared it for you."
Even if Naruto fails the test, I will still lend it to him.
Naruto Uzumaki took it and turned to leave impatiently, saying, "Then, Iruka-sensei, I'll be going now."
Now that we have the money, it's time to open the can!
"Come back, you idiot."
Seeing Naruto leave without a word, Iruka's face turned green: "Aren't you going to take the photos? Are you going to be reassigned to a different class?"
"I'll just go out for a little while, I'll be right back."
Naruto Uzumaki waved his hand: "Don't worry, Iruka-sensei, I'll be back soon."
There's plenty of time to go back after opening the jar myself.
Iruka: "."
Although he didn't understand why Naruto was in such a hurry to leave, Iruka was speechless.
But Iruka didn't call out to Naruto again; instead, he returned to the classroom and continued to administer the exam.
Anyway, Naruto will be back in a while, and he trusts Naruto.
"Open the can! Open the can!"
"I don't know if the shop is open."
At this moment, Naruto Uzumaki rubbed his hands together excitedly and quickly left the school, heading straight for the can shop.
He also casually touched the scroll in his pocket.
He believed the shop owner would like the gift.
After all, this was something I copied down from memory.
