I Am Indeed a Genius

Returning home, Naruto quickly took off his soaked clothes and took a shower.

Afterward, he changed into clean clothes, humming a song as he walked into the kitchen, beginning to busy himself preparing a lavish meal.

When Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen walked into Naruto's house, this was the scene he saw.

"Naruto, did something happy happen?"

Quietly watching for a moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen's gentle gaze met Naruto's somewhat elated eyes as he walked out of the kitchen carrying a dish, and he spoke with a smile.

Of course, he knew what had happened to Naruto today.

He was just looking for a topic to start a conversation.

He came to Naruto's place at this time, which wasn't his usual visit to deliver living expenses, in order to fulfill his previous promise and give Naruto ninjutsu.

As the Nine Tails Jinchuriki, Naruto had shown extraordinary ninja talent, and as the Hokage, he was naturally happy to see it happen.

Although this child didn't have the Will of Fire, his personality wasn't bad. Just the fact that he was the Nine Tails's Jinchuriki meant that he should have powerful combat abilities, so that he would have enough ability to protect himself.

Otherwise, if the Nine Tails's seal had problems, it would be a disadvantageous thing for both Naruto and the village.

"Third Hokage is here, let's have dinner together. I've learned how to climb trees and walk on water, I'll show you in a bit if you don't believe me. You should give me the ninjutsu you promised me, right?"

Seeing the Third Hokage, Naruto's eyes lit up.

He put the plate in his hand on the table, and without waiting for the old man to agree, Naruto excitedly pulled him to sit down at the table.

Then he went into the kitchen, took off his apron, and brought out two bowls of rice.

The two sat facing each other at the table. Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at the dishes on the table and said with a smile, "Braised Pork, Steamed Spare Ribs, Radish Stewed Beef Brisket, Lettuce Stir-fried Shredded Pork, Spicy Chicken, Stir-fried Green Vegetables, what a feast, thank you, little Naruto."

Ever since he had Naruto's Hot and Sour Shredded Pork Noodles a year ago, Sarutobi Hiruzen had often come to Naruto's place for free meals, so he was familiar with these new dishes that were different from traditional cuisine.

Of course, in return, Naruto's monthly living expenses were higher than before.

Naruto didn't care about these things, and picked up his bowl to start eating: "Third Hokage, eat quickly, I'm starving."

Originally, Naruto also intended to prepare a bento for tomorrow by making so much food.

But since the Third Hokage was here now, they could eat together. He could just make more tomorrow.

Sarutobi Hiruzen watched with a smile as Naruto quickly devoured the dishes on the table in a fast, but not unsightly manner, and glanced at the clean and tidy environment in the room.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this child was still young, but he was growing more and more like Minato.

Just as good at cooking, just as talented as a ninja, and even his appearance was becoming more and more similar.

Looking at Naruto like this, Minato would be gratified if he knew.

Then, Sarutobi Hiruzen joined the ranks of snatching food.

"Hey, little Naruto, don't be picky, eat more vegetables."

"You're so annoying, it's none of your business. You're an old man, don't eat too much meat, be careful you can't digest it."

In the room, although there were occasional quarrels, the atmosphere seemed very warm.

Perhaps because someone was snatching food together, both Naruto and Sarutobi Hiruzen, as the Hokage, ate especially well, and a large table of dishes was swept away by the two of them.

However, the consequences of eating too much were also obvious. At this moment, both of them were sitting there holding their bellies, lazy and completely unwilling to move.

After resting for a while, Naruto got up and made a cup of tea for himself and Sarutobi Hiruzen.

After taking a couple of sips of hot tea, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally remembered the main business. He took out two scrolls from his God Garment Robe and handed them to Naruto.

Then, he said with a smile, "Naruto, I helped you test your Chakra nature some time ago, and you have Wind Release Chakra.

These are the ninjutsu scrolls for the *Shadow Clone Technique and Wind Release: Great Breakthrough*. Now that you have learned water walking and tree climbing, I will teach you these ninjutsu.

If there is anything you don't understand, you can come to the Hokage's office to ask me for advice."

Naruto took the scrolls and thanked him, "Thank you, Third Hokage." Then he couldn't wait to start reading.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had told him some common sense about ninjutsu training. Ninjutsu has five attributes: Yin, Yang, Water, Fire, Wind, Earth, and Lightning. Except for those ninjutsu without attributes, only those with the corresponding attributes can practice the rest.

And his attribute was tested with Chakra paper to be Wind Release, so he could only practice Wind Release ninjutsu, in addition to non-attribute universal ninjutsu like the Shadow Clone Technique.

If he wanted to learn ninjutsu of other attributes, he would need to cultivate Chakra attributes that he was not born with, but that was the content of training that would be involved after reaching the Jonin level.

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled as he watched Naruto fall into a focused state. He chuckled softly and left quietly without disturbing him.

As for Naruto, after reading the two ninjutsu, he began to experiment according to the content described in the scroll.

First was the Shadow Clone Technique. Coordinating the flow of Chakra to form hand seals, with a bang, after a burst of smoke, a clone that looked exactly like him appeared next to Naruto, now curiously looking at him.

The two looked at each other for a moment, Naruto dispelled the clone, and then he got a brief memory of seeing himself from another perspective.

"Shadow Clone is really amazing. It can be used to help with combat, and it can also be used for some non-physical knowledge-based learning. But I succeeded in practicing it once, I really am a genius.

Practicing ninjutsu was so slow before, it's all the Big Fox's fault."

Naruto touched his chin, feeling a little happy.

But the happiness didn't last long. Naruto glanced at the time and decisively climbed into bed and lay down, "I'll practice Wind Release ninjutsu tomorrow. I can't use it at home, and it's almost time to sleep."

That Big Fox who had been making trouble finally settled down, he also taught a few ignorant bear children a lesson on the way home, and met Hinata, who still didn't look at him with strange eyes after knowing his name.

He was also taught ninjutsu by Third Hokage, and even successfully practiced the Shadow Clone Technique in one go.

Although everything he encountered today was good, but still, now is not the time to relax.

There is still a long way to go before he becomes a powerful ninja that no one dares to underestimate, and he needs to continue to work hard.

After falling asleep, Naruto came to the Sealing Space before his routine study.
