Shikamaru ran over to Naruto and looked him up and down in surprise, deep confusion in his eyes.
"You learned a jutsu needed for the graduation exam just by opening a Blind Box?"
Naruto nodded, looking excited.
"Everything about the Three Body Technique suddenly appeared in my head, including the things to watch out for and how to control chakra."
