"Don't you only know if you try? Besides, as you ordered, I just learned the Shadow Clone Jutsu from the Scroll of Seals!" Uzumaki Naruto's face held a cold smile. At this moment, Mizuki was already a corpse in his eyes!
"Oh? Shadow Clone Jutsu for a Genin? You can't even use the Clone Technique properly, and your Chakra control is also poor. It seems Iruka protected you too well before!" After dodging the aftermath of the Explosive Tags, Mizuki's kunai grazed Naruto's face.
Although Naruto dodged quickly and avoided vital spots, two shallow wounds still appeared on his face.
"What if you add the two of us?" Two voices appeared behind Mizuki. Hearing them, Mizuki's movements slowed slightly, and he looked at the two behind him with disbelief.
"Nanfeng and Uchiha Sasuke, when did you get here?" Mizuki asked, staring at the two in shock.
"We came over right after the Explosive Tags exploded. I don't know if it was luck, but we were training not far away. It only took a few minutes to get here, and you didn't even notice us. It seems your strength isn't as formidable as imagined." Nanfeng scratched his ear, looking at Mizuki with a calm expression.
Mizuki's face turned extremely ugly. He knew some things about Nanfeng, having seen him in the hospital many times after getting injured on missions.
Mastering Medical Ninjutsu at such a young age meant he must have other trump cards hidden.
And the other person was the top student of this batch. While Mizuki could crush Sasuke in a one-on-one fight with his experience advantage, facing three of them at once... "You dare to hurt our teacher and my brother? It seems today you'll have to pay with your blood!" Sasuke's scarlet Sharingan locked onto Mizuki's every move, while Nanfeng took this opportunity to reach Iruka's side and use the Mystical Palm Technique to heal his wounds.
At the same time, he might as well collect his System rewards.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully healing an injured person, gaining +1 Attribute Point..."
"Wind Release, Great Breakthrough!" Mizuki didn't dare to be careless and quickly used the advanced Wind Release Ninjutsu he was most proficient with!
"Earth Release, Earth Wall!" After Nanfeng's special training and the ninjutsu scrolls left by his clan, Sasuke had mastered quite a few ninjutsu. Having more defensive ninjutsu like the Earth Wall was always beneficial.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Naruto also began his actions at this moment. Mastering the Shadow Clone Jutsu made him a bit overconfident. If he went back to the graduation exam, he probably could have shocked many of his classmates.
Moreover, Naruto used the Shadow Clone Jutsu right next to Sasuke. Taking advantage of the smoke cover, Sasuke quickly used the Shadow Clone Jutsu as well, while his true body hid to the side, waiting for any opening Mizuki might reveal.
"You guys..." Iruka's mind couldn't keep up. Naruto, perhaps out of excitement, had created over a hundred shadow clones. How many would he normally make?
"We came to help Naruto. Although he can't become a ninja, he was acting a bit strange this afternoon. We called him to train, but he didn't respond. We didn't expect something like this to happen. We're truly sorry, Teacher Iruka."
As the eldest of the trio, Nanfeng took it upon himself to handle the conversation.
"It's alright. I just didn't expect that you, whom I always saw as children, would possess such powerful strength. Teacher is very proud." Iruka smiled and shook his head. Seeing his students grow was perhaps what made him happiest.
"This is really annoying. They just had to master this ninjutsu..." Mizuki said with a headache. Shadow clones were physical manifestations created by Chakra. Although Naruto's clones had limited strength, and Mizuki could easily deal with them one by one, when the number reached a certain point, a qualitative change would occur.
"Got you!" Finally, in the endless battle, Mizuki's limbs were completely restrained by several of Naruto's shadow clones. Sasuke also rushed over quickly at this moment.
Mizuki vaguely saw Sasuke holding a kunai in his hand, with a burning Explosive Tag attached to it.
Damn it, are these guys so rich? This is the third Explosive Tag he'd encountered today!
Mizuki wanted to struggle, but the initial battle had drained too much of his stamina. He was now helpless and could only watch as Sasuke stuffed the kunai into his pocket. As if to prevent Mizuki from making any further moves, Sasuke also tightly hugged Mizuki's body.
"Fire Release, Great Fireball Technique!" After completing all this, Sasuke's voice echoed from the nearby forest, followed by a massive fireball.
"Shadow Clones? When!" Mizuki finally realized that the one who completed the Explosive Tag task just now was also just one of Sasuke's shadow clones.
"When Naruto used Shadow Clones. Well then, have a safe journey to death..." Sasuke said to Mizuki with a smile, but that handsome smile now looked chilling!
After the intense explosion, all the shadow clones disappeared. Sasuke and Naruto both collapsed on the ground, exhausted.
"Well done. It's a shame this guy is tough. He's still alive despite being at the center of the explosion..." Nanfeng, a Medical Ninja, walked over to check Mizuki's condition. Perhaps due to Orochimaru's modifications, this guy's vitality was beyond their imagination.
After all, an ordinary person would never survive being at the epicenter of an Explosive Tag.
"Teacher Iruka, are you alright?" Naruto, having recovered slightly, hurried to Iruka's side. His wounds had been completely treated by Nanfeng. Apart from being a bit pale from blood loss, there were no other issues.
"I'm fine, Naruto. Come here, Teacher has something to give you..." Iruka said to Naruto with a smile.
"Huh?" Naruto looked confused, but when he walked over, he saw Iruka taking off his forehead protector and solemnly tying it onto Naruto's head.
"I declare, in the name of a Ninja Academy teacher, that from today onwards, Uzumaki Naruto officially graduates and becomes a qualified Genin of Konoha." Iruka said with a smile. Naruto turned around, overjoyed, and looked at his two friends behind him.
Just then, the sun had just risen, and its warm rays shone upon each of them.
