Chapter 27: Extra points

Naruto decided to check out the chakra-enhanced kunais next, with a quick observe they revealed their powers and Naruto was quite satisfied with them.

[Chakra Enhanced Kunai

Rarity: Rare

Description: a kunai that was forged by using chakra smithing, it is much stronger than normal kunai and can even cut through rocks and other kunai easily, by channeling chakra through the kunai it can be made sharper and stronger than before.]

He also observed the kunai holster since he also felt chakra coming from it.

[Kunai Holster

Rarity: Rare

Description: A kunai holster that was made by a master, it has been enchanted, it can summon back any kunai that has been put in it and has been imprinted with the owner's chakra, it allows you to resummon a kunai from any distance.]

One of Naruto's worries had been calmed, while kunai were nice they would often be lost during battle as in many cases you needed to throw them at your enemy as either a distraction or even a way to kill an opponent so Naruto was certainly happy with this pouch.

With that he was done checking out his rewards and started getting ready for the day, the finals for the second year were almost upon him, not that he was worried, he knew that he far surpassed all academy students and was comparable to above-average Genin, of course, his chakra and vitality most likely surpassed that of even Jonin although he was not sure yet.

Naruto headed to the academy and met up with Sasuke and Shino, Shino had recently been training a lot so they barely had any time to spend with each other, but this also meant that Shino had become a lot stronger than before, he was motivated to surpass Naruto so he worked harder than he would ever have.

Sasuke had been trying his hardest to catch up with Naruto but Naruto seemed to simply grow stronger every single day which he was not capable of, Shino and Sasuke both knew that Naruto was keeping a secret from them but they didn't mind since they trusted each other enough to know that they would never try to hurt each other with secrets.

"Hey, Naruto!" Kiba the ever hyperactive kid of their class ran up to the three of them and greeted Shino and Sasuke as well.

"Hello, Kiba-san," Shino replied in his cool and calm voice, Sasuke greeted similarly while Naruto replied energetically.

Kiba grinned at the three and spoke "As you guys know the end of the year exams are coming up and to get extra points for the class we have decided to all learn a jutsu! The academy only gave us the transformation jutsu to learn by the end of the year but if we can all manage to learn the body replacement jutsu or the clone jutsu then we can gain higher grades!"

This caught the three boy's attention, who wouldn't want to get extra points after all?

They still had 15 minutes before Iruka arrived and they were the last ones to arrive so Kiba and Naruto's group walked to the front of the class.

Seeing that not everyone noticed them Naruto decided to attract their attention.

Naruto took a deep breath and shouted "EVERYONE PAY ATTENTION!"

This shocked the class into silence as they thought that Iruka had arrived without any of them noticing.

Now that they had the class's attention Kiba started explaining what they were planning to do, after explaining their plan the class immediately became excited, some of them were quite below the average and wanted to bump up their grades a little so they were all determined to get the extra points.

They all decided to keep it a secret and would meet up after school in small groups to go to the academy library in order to get the body displacement and clone jutsu.

The day quickly went by and Naruto together with Kiba, Sasuke and Shino headed to the academy library.

The library was guarded by a chunin at all times as it contained some jutsu that Konoha didn't want to be spread around to everyone so they placed a chunin to look over it.

The chunin actually looked quite surprised to see the four of them at the library since most academy students never bothered to go to the library for some reason.

The Chunin told them that they were only allowed to go to the student section and were not allowed to go into the genin section as those were only accessible by becoming a genin of Konoha.

The four of them quickly went inside and found the two jutsus easily, all four of them already knew how to perform the transformation jutsu, in fact, most of the class knew how to do it so they would not have any problems learning the other two basic academy jutsu.

The Clone jutsu was quite basic in theory, you simply needed to pump out a low amount of chakra and form it after yourself, the hard part was controlling the chakra once it was outside your body.

For the body displacement jutsu you simply needed to send out a pulse of charka and perform the specific sequence of hand signs correctly and the jutsu would work by itself, the only thing you needed to extensively practice was pulsing your chakra to touch the objects in your surroundings and getting the timing right, and of course, landing properly.

Naruto swiftly made four copies of each book and put it in his sealing scroll, the Chunin wouldn't allow them to take the books with them so this was the easiest way to trick him, of course in case it didn't work Naruto put it in his inventory while disguising it as if he put it in his sealing scroll.

Though it seemed his worries were unneeded as the Chunin let them go without even checking the scroll.

While the others were talking to each other Naruto sneakily took out the copies from his inventory and handed them to the others.

For now, Naruto had to act as if he was trying to learn the technique by doing it and after an hour of training together they all went home, once home Naruto took out the copies that he made.

[Do you want to learn 'Body displacement jutsu' Y/N?]

[Do you want to learn 'Clone jutsu' Y/N?]

Naruto clicked yes on both and learned the two jutsus just like that.

All he had to do now was practice them.
