Wood Release Ninja Uzumaki Naruto

The next day.

As soon as class started, a ninja came to deliver a notice.

Since Teacher Oda was still in the hospital and a new homeroom teacher hadn't been decided yet, they would have a self-study session today.

After the person left.

"Woohoo~~~"

The elementary school students in the class instantly erupted.

This wasn't a self-study session at all! It was practically letting them run wild!

Seeing that the mission was complete and 2,000 experience points had been credited, Naruto grinned happily.

With 2,000 experience points, he could upgrade his two-tomoe Sharingan to three-tomoe when he got back.

When it came to experience points, pranks like this, which he hadn't tried before, yielded the most.

He looked forward to the next homeroom teacher.

"Is Teacher Oda going to be okay?" Choji asked.

Naruto looked at him in surprise.

He couldn't tell at all that beneath Choji's chubby exterior, he was so kind-hearted. None of the other classmates even cared; their minds had already flown out of the classroom.

"It's nothing serious, just needs a couple of days of good sleep," Naruto explained, being the one involved.

He traded seats with a classmate for a bag of chips and a bottle of cola.

The three of them were now sitting together.

"So, what should we do?"

Looking at Naruto and his old friend Shikamaru, who had just become friends, Choji wasn't sure what these two liked to do.

In the end, he suggested, "How about we go eat some dango? They're really delicious."

"I want to go to the rooftop to watch the clouds," Shikamaru replied.

"My suggestion is to buy the dango first, and then go to the rooftop to watch the clouds," Naruto said, combining their opinions.

"Okay." x2

Habitually glancing at Sasuke, Naruto said, "Wait for me."

He walked over.

"Sas..."

Bang~

Still, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by money being slapped onto the desk.

Alright.

Naruto felt like this had become his daily task.

Placing the 2-liter bottle of cola on the desk, Naruto cursed Sasuke, hoping he'd drink all of it and get fat.

Then he'd get to see a chubby protagonist!

He thought it was quite amusing.

He eagerly anticipated it.

However, he might just throw the drinks away when he got home.

Whatever.

Once the drinks were sold, they were no longer his concern.

Just as he was about to head back, Naruto's peripheral vision caught sight of three people cornering a young girl against the wall.

School bullying?

Naruto's interest was instantly piqued.

Facing such evil, I, the nemesis of justice, Uzumaki Naruto, will never stand idly by!

Wait, something feels off.

Never mind.

Let's go!

"What evil eyes."

"Byakugan freak~"

"Let go of that girl!" Naruto shouted, blocking Hinata's path.

Seeing these three people, Naruto instantly had the feeling that it was a case of "enemies meet."

Weren't these the same three guys he had chased away last year?

"You guys don't seem to be in this class?"

"Wasn't that him?" the leader of the brats asked the kid next to him, trembling.

"Looks like it."

"Run, the demon's here."

"Let's go!"

This time, Naruto didn't even have to make a move. The three little brats seemed to recognize him and immediately scattered.

Seeing this, Naruto felt a pang of disappointment.

He'd expected a battle between evenly matched opponents, but this was it?

It seemed the dark forces of the Ninja Academy desperately needed some nurturing.

Otherwise, where would he, the nemesis of evil, find an outlet for his talents?

Without an outlet, how could he gain experience to level up?

[Ding~]

Fortunately, the experience points and chakra rewards for this 'Protect the Flower' mission still came through.

Naruto turned to look at the 'flower' he was supposed to protect.

What a coincidence, isn't that Hinata?

Why is it always you.jpg

It seemed she was always the one getting bullied.

Seriously, she was the legitimate daughter of the Hyuga clan, one of Konoha's two great noble families.

If she wasn't bullying others, she was being bullied herself.

Hinata, you need to step up!

Looking at Hinata again, Naruto felt that this girl was perhaps too gentle.

He could feel it in their everyday interactions. Naruto had initially thought it was weakness, but no, it was just the girl's inherently gentle nature.

This kind of personality wouldn't really work in this cruel ninja world, would it?

"Are you okay?"

Hinata looked up and said gently, "Thank you, Naruto-kun."

"It was nothing."

They were very close, their eyes meeting.

This was the first time Naruto had seen a pair of Byakugan up close.

It was like you couldn't stare at a crippled person's leg the whole time; it was impolite.

Naruto had never truly observed the Byakugan before.

Perhaps it was because he'd seen too many pupils of other colors, but seeing the Byakugan now, with its pure white, exceptionally bright irises, Naruto suddenly thought they were quite beautiful.

"Don't listen to them, your eyes are beautiful," Naruto comforted her.

He said it with utmost sincerity.

Then, Naruto noticed that Hinata's face had become unusually flushed, and steam even seemed to be rising from her head.

Afterward, Hinata, with great honor, fainted.

Naruto was completely bewildered. He didn't even have time to catch her. His mind was filled with only one thought:

It's over, she's going to cling to me now.

She was completely fine after being bullied by those three brats.

But the moment he showed up, she fainted.

It was intentional, absolutely intentional.

Scene change.

Naruto, Shikamaru, and Choji walked out of the Konoha Hospital one by one.

They weren't visiting a teacher this time; there wasn't much to see with their teacher. They were there to drop Hinata off.

Thankfully, the examination revealed nothing serious.

At first, Naruto had worried that the Hyuga clan would use this to pressure the old Hokage. But then he thought about it, and it really wasn't necessary.

The Ninja Academy's curriculum was more terrifying than he'd anticipated.

During combat class, it was common for two elementary schoolers to fight fiercely, resulting in bloody noses and unconsciousness.

In just the past few days, Naruto had witnessed several cases of students from higher grades bleeding from battles.

Something like Hinata's situation was a minor issue.

"Let's go, we'll go buy some dango first."

"Let's go!" ×2

The three people who left didn't notice that from the upstairs window, Hinata, who had woken up, was silently staring at their receding figures.

Evening, training space.

Naruto clasped his hands together, his face contorted as if he desperately needed to pee.

Actually, he was merging the chakra of the Earth and Water Release natures, attempting to synthesize Wood Release.

Naruto could already possess other single-attribute chakra at the start, with his proficiency immediately reaching the Master level.

Therefore, there was nothing to learn from this kind of process where a new attribute chakra was acquired through training.

Not to mention the high difficulty of merging two attribute chakras.

Fortunately, his seven-attribute chakra had already reached perfect, max-level proficiency after these two years of training.

Otherwise, Naruto wouldn't even know where to start if he wanted to merge two types of chakra.

Of course, the SSSSSS-Rank Talent also provided a huge boost when it came to synthesizing new chakra.

"It's done!"

Naruto shouted, opening his eyes, which were filled with surprise!

[Through training, you have merged Earth and Water Release, synthesizing Wood Release chakra]

[Detected Wood Release generation, you need to complete the Wood Release synthesis mission]

[Detected that you possess SSSSSS-Rank Talent, you automatically possess Wood Release chakra. Your Wood Release chakra proficiency +1500]

[Wood Release: 1500/2000 (Master)]

"Congratulations, Naruto."

"Come on, Kurama, let's spar."

Naruto was eager to try out this brand-new Wood Release.

Although he hadn't learned any Wood Release ninjutsu yet, his nearly three million chakra, comparable to that of a Tailed Beast, was practically inexhaustible.

His chakra control, which exceeded 300, allowed him to manipulate any chakra with ease.

His understanding of jutsu, also over 300, enabled him to master any ninjutsu and create new ones with incredible simplicity.

Kurama was also itching for a fight. I can't bully the First Hokage, but can't I bully this brat who just learned Wood Release?

Kurama shouted: The day to get revenge on the First Hokage is coming!

A moment later, "Kurama, you're so weak!"

Kurama, completely suppressed by nine wooden dragons: Save me! Save me!
