Do You Dare Say Naruto Doesn't Work Hard

Kakashi and the other Konoha High Command were all glued to the screen, watching the clearly visible examination hall. They all marveled at how advanced Konoha's technology had become.

Uchiha Kun stared at Naruto on the screen, his face momentarily stunned, before bursting into a resentful tirade:

"What on earth is this guy doing? The exam's been going on for ages, and he's still fidgeting, picking his fingers. So careless! And it's a blank paper! Has he lost his mind again? Did his CPU spontaneously combust?"

Hayakumo Sōma heard Uchiha Kun cursing in the morning and also spotted Naruto Uzumaki on the screen. Naruto was sitting at his desk, scratching his head in frustration, his test paper still blank, while the other students had written most of it.

Hayakumo Sōma, her tone becoming sharp as she loudly rebuked:

"This little idiot is really something else. Everyone else knows to copy what he's doing, but he just sits there scratching his backside. He's utterly hopeless."

Upon hearing Hayakumo Sōma, Shouhon Yihan immediately looked at Naruto on the monitor and found him pacing around the exam room, completely lost in thought. He had even turned the desk upside down, creating a three-bedroom-one-living-room effect.

Shouhon Yihan shook her head, utterly speechless, and complained:

"Who taught this guy? He's a disgrace to Konoha! I suggest we arrest him and throw him in the Police Force's jail. Let Kameida Meikai put some pressure on him, otherwise he'll turn into a big idiot sooner or later."

Uchiha Kun covered his head with one hand and said with obvious disgust:

"These are all my students, and I have more than one like them. Look at that chubby kid in the other corner, he's the eternally Genin, Senju Nawaki. Sasuke is the only one Sasuke's smart in Team 7."

Senju Taoyuan couldn't help but glance at Nawaki on the other side, watching him looking around impatiently, much like Naruto, unable to solve a single problem.

Hearing this, Kakashi shook his head slightly, looking quite embarrassed at the stunned Nawaki and Naruto, and softly said:

"Give them both an answer key later! Otherwise, if they keep standing there in a daze, they won't qualify for the upcoming battle exam."

Seeing Kumo-ma pull out his textbook and start writing about the Will of Fire, Naruto Jian immediately shouted:

"Look everyone, Naruto's finally got it! He's going to write 'Will of Fire.' He just needs to write thirty characters to pass!"

Uchiha Kun was also staring intently at the big screen, watching Naruto scribble and draw on the other side of the essay page.

"Where the leaves dance, the flames burn eternally, consuming the enemy and illuminating the village—it's truly wonderful,"

Kakashi looked at Naruto's essay, breathed a sigh of relief, smiled with great satisfaction, and gave him his full approval:

"Naruto is still great; at least he can write an essay of more than twenty words, which is a remarkable improvement."

Senju Taoyuan was also watching the Senju Nawaki, observing the little Nawaki's scribbles and corrections, and even writing a sentence on its composition.

"I am the inheritor of the Will of Fire. I will become the Sixth Hokage and protect the beautiful and kind Land of Fire, and the village."

Senju Taoyuan exclaimed in surprise, "Nawaki Master Nawaki is as talented as ever! He can condense lightning in just two and a half months for an S-rank Ninjutsu like Lightning Armor. He's truly a breath of fresh air in Konoha!"

Upon hearing this, Shouhon Yihan immediately shook her head and retorted sternly:

"Taoyuan, put away your fragile heart! Your Senju Clan was wiped out long ago. If it weren't for the Hokage -sama making you marry multiple wives, you'd still be extinct. And you call him 'Young Master Nawaki'? I think he's a complete loser. You should call him 'Rock Rope' instead."

Senju Taoyuan married four female ninjas from the Charlotte Clan, all of whom were blonde and blue-eyed. They had five children in total: the eldest, Senju Yunting; the second, Senju Meiting; the third, Senju Huating; the Senju Liting; and the fifth, Senju Meiyun. This was considered to have maintained the most basic lineage.

Among these children, the oldest, Senju Yunting, is already in first grade and six years old, even in the same class as Kakashi's eldest son. The youngest, Miyun, is three and a half years old this year.

Upon hearing this, Senju Taoyuan felt extremely embarrassed, but then he realized that the Senju Clan had indeed died out, leaving only his branch, and there were no more legitimate sons left.

Senju Taoyuan sighed, his eyes widening, and he said with a fierce look:

"It's all that damned Danzo's Danzo! He captured members of our Senju Clan and subjected them to inhumane physical experiments. If my father hadn't gone into hiding long ago, our entire family might not have escaped such a cruel fate. That Danzo and Orochimaru, I will kill them!"

Uchiha Kun looked at the big screen and saw that Gaara from the Hidden Sand Village was using the Sand Eyes to peek at other students' answers, specifically Hinata Hyuga's essay. Since he wasn't from Konoha, he had no idea about the new Will of Fire.

Seeing Gaara at a loss, Uchiha Kun burst into laughter, saying with great delight:

"The children from other ninja villages have absolutely no idea about the Will of Fire, and now they have to take a test on Will of Fire. They're completely clueless, like jumping around in a toilet—they're utterly lost and have no chance of anything but death."

Kakashi, sitting in his office chair, slightly turned his waist and echoed with a smile:

"That's true. If we let elementary school students from other ninja villages test our Konoha's Will of Fire, they'd be completely lost. In other words, if we let our Konoha children test the will of other ninja villages, it would be the same; they wouldn't be able to tell east from west at all."

Inside the Konoha examination hall, some of the Sound Shinobi and some of the Sand Ninja were stumped by the final essay.

They all looked completely bewildered, saying in confusion, "What is the Will of Fire? This question is too difficult. We have no idea what the Will of Fire is. Why is this question being asked? Isn't this just bullying us outsiders?"

Temari's eyes were wide open, much like Naruto's earlier expression, unsure where to begin. But seeing Neji frantically scribbling beside her, she smiled and asked:

"Kind young man, what is the Will of Fire of Konoha? Could you please tell me secretly? I would be extremely grateful."

Neji completely ignored Temari, but with his Byakugan activated, he was staring intently at Ino in front of him, diligently copying down Ino notes.

On the podium in the examination hall sat Morino Ibiki, the head of the Interrogation Unit.

The examiner for this Chunin Ninja Exams was Morino Ibiki. Watching the students displaying their unique skills in the exam hall, the examiner ignored them and instead kept dozing off.

Morino Ibiki glanced at his watch and immediately shouted, "Thirty minutes left, everyone hurry up!"
