Chapter 64
Somehow, the last two years at the academy flew by unnoticed. There were a lot of things ... For example, Shikamaru did demonstrate that even geniuses can not learn anything, and was pulled out by the girls into the corridor, where he was popularly (and sonorously) explained to keep his mouth shut. What can I say - it's his own fault, I already had to choke on Ino's food twice and go on a date with the twins because of him. After that, the word "problematic" was qualitatively registered in his lexicon, ideally complementing the past "tense".
Over the past two years, I have crossed paths with Danzo two dozen more times. It seems like too much, as for me, but on the other hand, it came out even less than one meeting a month. In these calculations, Hiruzen flickered even more often ... but, unlike "grandfather Danzo", the "old Hokage" in every possible way evaded any attempts to spin him into my training.
Another significant moment is the appearance of Kakashi. He never got the courage to come visit, although once I felt his chakra outside the door, where he hesitated for a long time. Guessed, or rather specifically chose, so as not to "light up", he had an ideal time - then only I was at home. But he didn't have the courage to meet me.
As I approached the knock on the door, I found on the threshold only a set of new kunai, a whole bunch of coupons for free meals in all Konoha restaurants, from Ichiraku to really elite establishments, and out of the corner of my eye spotted a silver-haired figure leaving. Hmm, this Hatake is an ambiguous person. It seems like I want to fill his face, but on the other hand, I don't know his circumstances, and no one will hurt him more than he tortures himself. But I definitely don't want to join his team, because he has a monstrous tendency - a friend-teammate officially died on a mission, he had to kill the girl-teammate. The father committed suicide. The teacher-head of the team died protecting Konoha. In general, it's easier to list those who are closely acquainted with him, and at the same time survived ... I'm lying, it's not easier, canonically even Guy managed to visit the next world, after the ultimate technique of his style.
In short, he may be a good man, but I still want to live! So when I get into his team, I will restart the world until I find myself under the supervision of another mentor. Fortunately, I managed to earn a checkpoint. True, now I am somewhat afraid for my carcass, especially after graduating from the academy, there are too many factors that can encroach on the completion of the Taming quest, and the resulting statuses do not suit me! And if, as in the canon, I don't get a chunin, then I won't even wait for Jiraiya's offer to get out of the village! Sneaking after Orochimaru after his attack! And there I'll go through advanced training with him or somewhere else, but the main thing is to stay away from dangerous factors, which can bring me quite ... um, bad statuses!
But back to the academy. So the period of exams has come, and if I had no doubts about the transformation technique, because I trained it well, and the control already allowed me a certain supply of tricks. The replacement was completely strange for me, there is a suspicion that I produce logs with mokuton, but it didn't work out in any way, then here are illusory clones ... They were my failure! A dozen rippling images were created at once. Not the horror that the canon Naruto had, but still, the ratio of chakra and control made itself felt. I'm afraid I won't be able to create one sane image for a long time. Not for me this technique, oh not for me! Even the system refuses to give me the skill of this skill, which shows well how much I "own" this technique.
And so, I rocked well. Actually, here:

Yes, yes, I still received "Oh, fool!". There's nothing to be done, and I've already recaptured the ten intellect taken away. What it cost me to raise control to the current level, I just keep silent culturally. The only pity is that after taking Below Average, my techniques no longer stupidly draw it out, something more powerful is needed to develop it, otherwise now all the clones available without debuffs are suffering over it, and nothing. By the way, somewhere I screwed up with this technique, or the canonical Naruto did something wrong with it. Well, I don't have crowds of clones. Twelve, that's all my intellect is enough for, and then negative statuses already come. But even with them, I can add three more clones, after which the control is not enough.
In general, I do not demonstrate anything supernatural, except for one water element technique, hehe. The scrolls brought to Itachi two years ago gave me an interesting idea. I almost immediately remembered that asshole from whom he could take these techniques. And his signature piece. Honestly, I don't remember if this is a clan technique, kekei-genkai or something else, but hard work will help everywhere. Yes, and that part of the status "Oh, fool", which reads "the law is not written for fools, with perseverance, that's for sure", I was greatly encouraged. And although it has not yet been possible to make one's body an atronach of the elements of water, some sections have already been amenable to change ... well, almost. Nothing, I want to live and this is a good incentive for development. The control is no longer the worst, and the chakras are like those of a tokubetsu jonin, so with true sheep's stubbornness, I tried to master this technique.
Otherwise, I could already run to take on a chunin. Weak, but he could. My stamina has already made Choji, even though I have multipliers from the Uzumaki and Fox statuses, and a couple of bonuses from some more, but it doesn't matter. Strength and agility?... don't look at the damn cheater Sasuke! Don't look at the damn cheater Sasuke! Don't look at the damn cheater Sasuke!
In general, these parameters are also not bad for me. In general, five people out of our entire stream have speed, including me, and I lose only Kiba in it. Intelligence is also not bad, not a genius. Fortunately, an example of this is sitting at the same table with me, but not the worst, far from the worst. Although it hurts the pride that Shikamaru already has 200+ intelligence. Oh, and 507 chakra control... burn in hell you fucking Nara!
And I'm the only one with an EX rank skill! True, why Kuroko got it and why he suddenly jumped into passive, I did not understand, but it happened about six months ago. But now not a single overgrown seducer can find me in my own bed at night!
Okay, get a grip, Naruto! It's time to go to the exam. Well, good luck to me!
