Konoha, Year 64.
Ringing laughter echoed through Konoha's streets.
"Gahahaha..."
A yellow-haired boy in orange ran ahead, with two Konoha ninja chasing after him.
"Hey! Naruto! How could you do something so outrageously wicked?!"
"We're definitely not letting you off today!"
The two shouted wildly as they chased him.
Naruto merely smiled disdainfully and leaped into the air.
"Hehehe, you guys are so annoying."
"You lot, you lot, couldn't pull off something like this, could you?"
"I'm amazing."
The scene shifted to Kage Rock, where Naruto thoughtfully gave the First, Second, and Third makeup—and thoughtfully gave his dear father, the Fourth Hokage, makeup as well. (I'm seriously crying. He was so little, drinking expired milk just to save money to buy cosmetics for his dad.)
Hyuga Ningxue, who happened to be passing by on his way to school, saw the scene.
He had only four words to say about it.
"Boring. Filial."
He did not linger and headed straight for the academy.
When he arrived at school, he opened the classroom door, went directly to the back row, sat down, and took out a novel to read.
(Though there was no end to learning, people were not machines. They still needed a balance between work and rest.)
During that time, he quietly read his book, paying no attention whatsoever to the chatter outside.
Until the class bell rang.
Ding-ding-ding.
The bell rang right on time.
Ning Xue neatly closed his novel, put it back in the drawer, and prepared to welcome Iruka-sensei.
During this time, he glanced around the classroom and noticed that Naruto seemed to be late again. But on second thought, he was probably still running for his life.
When class had already started and no one had arrived, he became puzzled. Iruka-sensei was usually very punctual.
Did something happen today?
But the answer came soon enough.
The lesson was already halfway through when Iruka opened the classroom door, with a tied-up Naruto following behind him.
Upon seeing Naruto, Ning Xue immediately understood. So Iruka-sensei had been late because he had gone to catch Naruto. No wonder.
Iruka-sensei took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, brought Naruto to the front of the classroom, and began lecturing him.
"Listen, Naruto." Iruka pointed at him, speaking with some anger.
"You didn't pass the last exam, or the one before that."
"Now isn't the time for pranks, you idiot."
Hearing that lecturing tone, Naruto, who was tied up and sitting on the floor, gave a childish snort.
"Hmph!" He immediately turned his head away.
Seeing Naruto's attitude, Iruka could not help getting angry.
He then shouted loudly to the entire class.
"Today's lesson is a review test on the Transformation Technique."
"Even those who have already passed need to come out and line up!"
"Huh?" Hearing that today's lesson was actually a review test on the Transformation Technique, most of the class immediately began groaning.
Iruka-sensei ignored the students' wails, took out the attendance sheet, and began calling names.
"First, Haruno Sakura!"
After answering, Haruno Sakura formed hand seals.
"Transformation!"
With a bang, a cloud of smoke rose. Once it cleared, someone about seventy to eighty percent similar to Iruka stood there.
Iruka smiled and nodded at the sight.
"Haruno Sakura, passed."
"Great!" Sakura cheered happily.
"Sasuke-kun, what do you think?"
"Next, Uchiha Sasuke."
"Yes."
Sasuke walked forward coolly with his hands in his pockets, formed hand seals, and with a bang transformed into someone ninety percent similar to Iruka.
Iruka was a little surprised, but quickly announced it anyway.
"Uchiha Sasuke, passed."
Sasuke dispelled his transformation and walked back toward the line with his hands still in his pockets.
"Next, Uzumaki Naruto."
Naruto stood in line looking utterly dejected, with Yamanaka Ino and Shikamaru's complaints ringing in his ears.
"What a pain." "It's all your fault."
Naruto only muttered quietly, "What's that got to do with me?" before stepping forward and forming hand seals.
But to everyone's complete surprise, Naruto actually used his self-created Sexy Jutsu here.
"Transformation!"
Bang! An even thicker cloud of white smoke burst out.
However, when the smoke cleared, what appeared in the spot was not Iruka, but a sexy naked blonde woman with blue eyes!
"Mmm-hmm~"
When had Iruka ever seen a scene like this? He instantly froze, and then a stream of nosebleed shot out.
The boys who saw this were still too young to understand such things, so they only blushed and felt embarrassed.
The girls covered their faces, looking both shy and angry.
Ning Xue's reaction, however, was a little...
After all, counting his previous life, he was already in his twenties. Faced with a scene like this...
His whole body felt hot. He shyly turned his head away; he was not someone who knew nothing.
"Idiot," Ning Xue muttered under his breath.
"Hahahaha! So, what do you think? I call it the Sexy Jutsu!"
Seeing Iruka instantly taken down, Naruto clutched his stomach, pointed at Iruka, laughed, and explained the name of the technique.
Hearing Naruto's laughter, Iruka instantly sprang up and roared!
"You idiot, don't invent such boring ninjutsu!!!"
Naruto was then sent out to clean up his mess.
But Naruto looked unconvinced, and even muttered as he left, "Whatever. There's no one at home anyway."
The test continued.
"Next, Hyuga Ningxue." Iruka calmed himself down and called the next name.
Ning Xue steadied himself and walked forward, forcing a calm expression.
Fortunately, he had long mastered this technique and could even transform more perfectly than Sasuke, but he would not do that.
"Transformation!"
He formed hand seals. With a bang, the smoke cleared to reveal an Iruka who was eighty percent similar to the real one. Some details were slightly blurry, but it was a little better than Sakura's.
"Hyuga Ningxue, passed."
Ning Xue nodded slightly, dispelled the Transformation Technique, and silently returned to the end of the line.
But a pair of eyes stared fixedly at him.
There was no need to say who it was. It was Shikamaru. His instincts told him Ning Xue was still pretending.
"What a pain," Shikamaru could not help muttering his habitual phrase.
"Next, Yamanaka Ino."
Ino stepped forward with complete confidence.
"Transformation!"
A burst of white smoke flashed, and she transformed into Iruka.
"Very good, passed!"
Iruka nodded in satisfaction.
"Next, Nara Shikamaru."
Shikamaru strolled over slowly, muttering, "Such a pain."
"Transformation!"
He successfully transformed into Iruka as well. Though his expression carried a hint of impatience, the technique itself was successful.
"Passed."
The assessment proceeded in an orderly manner, and most of the students who had already qualified smoothly passed the review.
After all the students had returned to their seats, Iruka put away the roster in his hand, left the classroom, and went to supervise Naruto.
Of course, Naruto was not slacking off outside either. He was miserably scrubbing Kage Rock.
