truth

end of the academy

A few years had passed since Naruto had defeated Sasuke demoralized the civil council and showed his political and strategic mind.

But today was the day, he was the top of the class and it was the day of the final exam. the curriculum changed after Naruto's talk with the civil council and hokage, apparently the hokage took one look at the curriculum and decided to take over.

Naruto excelled in school both academically and physically he was not a prodigy see there are prodigies like Sasuke Uchiha then there is a step above a prodigy, a genius that comes once a generation like itachi Uchiha or kakashi hatake and even the fourth hokage but Naruto was above even that he was someone who came once a century he soaked up information and refused to ever be satisfied he was not power hungry per say but he wanted strength both of mind and of body to protect what was precious to him.

Naruto was waiting reading a scroll from the library on fuinjutsu it was odd to him the arts of sealing had been left behind for so long it was extremely versatile and useful in day to day life as well. He continued to wander about this while also reading he was pretty good at multitasking after all. this continued untill the door opened and in walked the teachers Iruka and mizuki.

Naruto took the written exams and passed with flying colors next was throwing kunai you needed 8 of 10 but there were also three hidden targets the targets were hidden well enough a civilian couldn't see but a gennin could Naruto walked up a grabbed 13 kunai as instructed no one else had even tried for the other three they were at angles that were hard to hit but Naruto just jumped and threw his kunai time seemed to slow as everyone there focused on the trajectory Naruto hit the normal ten easily greeting a bullseye on each he then hit the hidden three each kunai hitting with a bullseye on each.

Next was hand to hand combat with the instructor Naruto was up against mizuki all he has to do was land a hit within the given time.

when Naruto walked into the circle his  danger sense went off but before he could act on it two kunai went passed his head and two went behind mizuki creating a barrier "finally I get to kill you" mizuki was ecstatic he shot off at a speed Iruka could keep up with but a gennin shouldn't be able to Naruto ducked barley dodging a kick aimed at his face Naruto then threw a kick at the back of mizuki's leg knocking him off balance giving Naruto time to get up and in a stance but by the time he was up mizuki had enough time to regain his footing  then he threw a kunai towards Naruto wich he could dodge instead he took the kunai to the shoulder catching mizuki off guard who was already running towards the left of Naruto Naruto moved to inter sept him and threw a spinning kick at mizuki's face however he jumped back while Naruto was facing away from mizuki he ripped the kunai from his own shoulder and then threw it at the still air born mizuki connecting with his his wrist cutting nerves as well as blood vessels and an artery Naruto rushed forward ripping the kunai from mizuki's flesh  and then hitting mizuki in the temple with the butt of the kunai knocking him out and releasing the barrier Naruto then looked at izuku "so do I pass or not" Iruka was shocked "y-yes of course you pass with flying colors" "good" that was the last word Naruto could get out before collapsing from blood loss
