Chapter 18: Eyes of Insight

Outside the 

"Good, that was a close call."

Naruto said naturally with a smile.

The next moment, Ino pulled his sleeve and took him to a dark corner, her eyes burning with questions: "Naruto, why are you hiding your strength like this? What's your purpose?

"Ah, there's no particular reason, I'm just afraid they won't be able to accept it. Besides, standing out doesn't do me much good." Naruto casually replied.

"Afraid they won't accept it? What do you mean?"

Ino continued to question.

"Sasuke, that guy, is a fool who likes to act cool. If I surpass him and become number one, he definitely won't be able to accept it. He will strive hard in his own way and won't give up until he completely surpasses me."

Naruto helplessly spread his hands and continued: "That guy is a proud fool, proud to the bone. He absolutely can't accept such a thing. This kind of thing is a big blow to him. Sakura who likes him will also start to doubt her life. And this matter is also a kind of blow to other people. So, I prefer to hide my strength."

Of course, all of this was made up by him. If Ino knew that he suddenly became strong, she would definitely have a lot of questions in her heart. It's better to let her mistakenly think that he has always been strong but just hasn't shown his strength.

"But weren't you always trying your best before? That kind of appearance... it doesn't look like..." Ino continued to refute.

"That's why you were fooled, dummy."

Naruto interrupted with a laugh, and at the same time knocked lightly on Ino's forehead with his knuckle, then turned around and walked back into the classroom.

"Ouch..."

Ino touched her forehead and watched Naruto's retreating figure with a lingering sense of the word 'dummy' in her ears. The touch on her head was clearly felt, and her gaze at Naruto gradually became lost

Naruto seems pretty handsome too!

And he's even better than Sasuke!

Both his sensory abilities and the practical application of the clone jutsu demonstrate his real prowess.

Not only that, his personality is also very good. He genuinely cares about my feelings and the emotions of others. He's willing to make sacrifices, which is truly admirable. A person like him is simply exceptional!

What's more important is that he doesn't like Sakura and seems to have no one he likes. He has no girlfriend and no one knows his true strength.

This is my chance

A great opportunity!

...Wait a minute, what about Hinata

Ino suddenly woke up. Everyone in the class knows that Hinata likes Naruto. She naturally know. And Naruto also said that he was actually greeting Hinata today. That is to say, he might actually have a good relationship with Hinata. So how far have their relationship progressed? Do I still have a chance?

"Gulp."

Her throat rolled, she was feeling a bit panicked now and there was a strong sense of urgency.

Hinata has been paying attention to Naruto for a long time since a long time ago. And this girl also has Byakugan, his observation ability far exceeds ordinary people. So could it be because she discovered Naruto's true strength and true character early on that she has always liked Naruto? Wait, Always paying attention to him?

Hinata is a competitor!

I just found out about these things now, is it already too late? No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no! Even though Hinata has taken the initiative to some extent, her personality is still too shy and there has been no substantial progress. I still have a great chance.

No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No No! Naruto can conceal himself, but can Hinata do the same? The things that I see... are they reale? Is it possible that what she presents to us is not what she truly wants us to perceive?

Oh dear...the more I think about it, the worse it gets...

...

Inside the classroom, it's self-study time.

Teacher Iruka is still looking for the Wind Release user with other teachers. There's only one unfamiliar teacher sitting at the front desk watching the students, to prevent the unknown user from possibly hurting them.

As for Naruto, the instigator, he is currently crossing his arms, leaning against the table behind him, looking boredly at the ceiling, and silently analyzing the situation in his mind.

The amount of chakra I outputted at that time was very small, but it still caused a certain scale of impact. It's troublesome. Next time I have to use weaker chakra. Releasing ninjutsu really tests my chakra control ability.

"Hmph, making a big deal out of nothing."

Sasuke crossed his arms in front of him and coolly looked at the blackboard in front of him.

"Ah, so cool!"

Sakura's eyes lit up instantly.

She looked at Naruto who was looking over and said proudly "Hmph, Sasuke-kun has already mastered the C-rank Fireball Jutsu. He's incredibly strong. You don't stand a chance against Sasuke-kun! So frustrating! Hmph~"

"Oh, that's really amazing."

Naruto's answer seemed perfunctory, but his gaze towards Sasuke had changed a bit.

Actually, he also wanted to try and see what it would be like when he used other ninjutsu. What would be the hand seal pattern for Fireball Jutsu?

I'm a bit curious...

By the way, although it's best for the body to only absorb one type of elemental force, with my mental power, I can forcibly control other elements besides wind. If I directly use other elemental combat techniques, can I fake the appearance of casting a jutsu?

While controlling elements with mental power and pretending to form seals on one hand, as long as the result is similar, it should look like I released a jutsu to others, right? I wonder if anyone can find out.

"By the way, can I ask a question?"

Naruto suddenly asked.

"Ah, what question?"

Sakura replied somewhat impatiently.

"That is, are there any ninjas who can directly see through others' ninjutsu? If there are such ninjas, they must be very powerful, right?" Naruto said.

"See through ninjutsu?"

Sakura was stunned for a moment and then quickly raised her head proudly and said: "Isn't that the power of Sharingan? People with Sharingan can easily copy others' jutsu and cast them quickly. There are very few people with Sharingan and they are all from the Uchiha clan... And Sasuke-kun's full name is Uchiha Sasuke which means he will sooner or later master the power of Sharingan. Hmph."

"Eh, that's really amazing."

Naruto pretended to be surprised.

"By the way, the Hyuga clan's Byakugan can also do it because Byakugan can clearly see the flow of chakra in the human body but cannot copy quickly. Hinata-chan is from Hyuga clan so her eyes are white." Sakura said casually.

Her tone was far less excited than before. Her attitude just now was even more excited than when she praised herself. This is Sakura with love brain.

However...

Naruto's gaze gradually shifted to Hinata on the other side. At this moment she seemed to be shyly sneaking glances at him but didn't dare to look more. She looked quite interesting in this state.

She's kind of cute though~
