Shihōin Naraku smiled as he watched Naruto Uzumaki's excitement.
He would not do what had happened in the original story, forbidding Naruto from using this ability or that ability when he took the Chunin Ninja Exams.
That was very fair to the other Ninja taking part.
But it was unfair to Naruto.
As long as Naruto used only his own abilities without relying on outside power, there was nothing wrong with that.
Still, the Chunin Ninja Exams really were far too easy for him.
Naraku could already imagine what it would look like if Naruto entered the Chunin Ninja Exams with his current strength.

In the Chunin Ninja Exams, however, he would be facing Genin from the various villages.
