Sealing Scroll

As Naruto grumbled, a three-tomoe Tomoe Seal slowly appeared beneath his collar. This was the very purpose of Sasuke's earlier actions; after all, Naruto was going to obtain something truly good tonight!

The Sealing Scroll, a scroll containing many forbidden techniques, was the true foundation of Konoha. Among them, the techniques of the Second Hokage were the most numerous.

Sasuke wasn't greedy. Obtaining the Impure World Reincarnation and the Yin Seal tonight was enough, as those were the only two techniques that would be of help to him.

The former was to torment the scapegoat-king Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen, while the latter was for storing senjutsu Chakra.

After all, senjutsu would likely be essential in the later stages. If he could combine senjutsu with the Yin Seal, he imagined it would produce unique effects. Of course, if he could obtain the Strength of a Hundred Technique directly, Sasuke wouldn't mind either. Although he didn't have a "wide forehead," he could use it to fuse with other techniques!

With these thoughts in mind, Sasuke walked into the classroom used for the graduation examination.

There were two examiners in the classroom: one was Iruka, and the second was the protagonist of tonight's events, Mizuki!

"Transformation Technique and Clone Technique!"

Seeing Sasuke enter, Iruka had already picked up the forehead protector in front of him, as this was far too simple for Sasuke.

Even so, the necessary procedures had to be followed, as the Third Hokage was constantly observing every move here through a crystal ball.

"Poof..."

Hearing Iruka's voice, Sasuke immediately produced two Shadow Clones and had one of them transform into the likeness of Iruka.

"Full marks!"

Mizuki, who was responsible for grading on the side, watched Sasuke's transformation and curled his lips in resignation before recording something on the form in his hand.

"Congratulations, Uchiha Sasuke. From today on, you have officially graduated from the Ninja Academy..."

After the grading was finished, Iruka took out a Konoha forehead protector and handed it to Sasuke, then offered some words of encouragement. Although he knew Sasuke's strength might be even greater than his own, the polite formalities still had to be observed.

"Thank you!"

After receiving the forehead protector, Sasuke turned and left the classroom, as it was time to carry out his plan.

After leaving the exam room, Sasuke held up the forehead protector in his hand, waved at Naruto, and then headed straight toward his home.

"Baka!" Watching Sasuke's show-off gesture, Naruto grumbled in his heart and began to wait slowly. Since Naruto was the last one, he had to take the exam last; there was no help for it, as those were the rules.

Time slowly passed, and more and more classmates received their forehead protectors and left with their parents.

Finally, it was Naruto's turn. Entering the exam room, Naruto gave Iruka an awkward smile.

The result was as expected: Naruto's Clone Technique was graded as a failure...

After comforting Naruto, Iruka sighed. Was it true that Naruto really couldn't graduate?

The exam ended, the Ninja Academy closed, and Naruto sat alone on the swing at the entrance, his mood somewhat complicated.

"Hey, do you really want to become a ninja?" Just then, the sinister-looking Mizuki walked over and began to manipulate Naruto.

In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen watched Mizuki, who had already made contact with Naruto, and smiled sinisterly.

"If it weren't for the need to make full use of this pawn, do you think you would still be alive? Mizuki? Everything is going according to my plan!"

Studying the crystal ball carefully, Sarutobi Hiruzen dismissed the Anbu responsible for guarding the Sealing Scroll.

At night, Naruto, desperate to graduate from the Ninja Academy, followed Mizuki's words and "snuck" into the Hokage building, stealing the Sealing Scroll.

Having obtained the Sealing Scroll, Naruto began to run toward the mountain behind the village...

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was monitoring Naruto's every move through the crystal ball, saw that Naruto had lived up to expectations and obtained the Sealing Scroll. He turned off the crystal ball's image; after all, it would take time for the brat to learn the techniques.

"Notify the Anbu. Start the pursuit of Uzumaki Naruto in half an hour!" After putting away the crystal ball, Sarutobi Hiruzen commanded the empty air.

"Two pawns are about to fall into place. Time to enjoy myself!" Taking advantage of the time Naruto spent learning the techniques, Sarutobi Hiruzen switched the crystal ball's view to the women's bathhouse.

In the mountains behind Konoha, Sasuke had been waiting there ever since he left the Ninja Academy, as this was the place where Naruto would beat up Mizuki in the original story.

Sasuke transformed into a tree branch and waited slowly for Naruto's arrival. Soon, Naruto, carrying the Sealing Scroll, ran past Sasuke at high speed.

After spotting Naruto, Sasuke did not reveal himself immediately. He had to ensure that Naruto was not being followed or monitored.

Five minutes later, Sasuke discovered that his system panel could still be opened, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. The next second, Sasuke appeared directly behind Naruto. After knocking Naruto unconscious with a single strike, Sasuke took the Sealing Scroll and began to copy the techniques he wanted.

S-rank Genjutsu: Bringer-of-Darkness Technique; Forbidden Technique: Impure World Reincarnation; Forbidden Technique: Yin Seal!

After finishing the transcription of these three techniques, Sasuke turned his head to look at the still-unconscious Naruto, smiled calmly, and then erased the Flying Thunder God mark he had left on Naruto before flashing into a cave.

Inside the cave was Mizuki. After inciting Naruto, Mizuki had come straight to the back mountain and happened to run into Sasuke. For this, Sasuke could only reluctantly control him with Genjutsu!

Kicking Mizuki awake, Sasuke's eyes slowly turned into three-tomoe, and his new plan was about to begin!

"Forget everything about me today. Once you are caught, bite your tongue and commit suicide!"

Poor Mizuki had just opened his eyes when he met Sasuke's Kyōka Suigetsu. This was truly a tragic story.

After casting the Genjutsu on Mizuki, Sasuke erased the Flying Thunder God mark on his body and then unleashed Shenlian on him. After doing all this, Sasuke used the Flying Thunder God to return to his room.

Mizuki, brainwashed by the Genjutsu, shook his head and immediately moved toward the location of Uzumaki Naruto.

Back in his room, Sasuke used Scorch Release to burn the kunai on his desk that was engraved with a single tomoe, then slowly closed his eyes and began to sleep. As for those three techniques, it would be better to wait until the heat died down before studying them.

In the deep forest at night, Iruka was injured while saving Naruto, and Naruto, in a fit of rage, learned the Shadow Clone Technique and beat Mizuki to a pulp. Mizuki was captured and bit his tongue to commit suicide. After Mizuki died, his corpse mysteriously disappeared.

In the end, Naruto, supporting the severely injured Iruka, was found by the Anbu.

The ninja exam was truly simple, and the Sealing Scroll is now in hand!
