Naruto the Genius

Chapter 12: High-profile Arrival
Since Sasuke and Sakura were injured and needed to rest, they were delayed for another two days. In fact, the main reason was that Naruto didn't want to reach the tower too quickly. Haruno Sakura and Naruto were getting along well, and Naruto didn't want to waste this precious time. During these two days, Naruto and Sakura looked for food together, cooked together, and even lay down together intentionally or unintentionally. In today's words, it was a romantic camping trip. After two days, Sasuke and Sakura's injuries were almost healed, and they were ready to continue to rush to the tower to complete the mission.

Logically speaking, the team with two scrolls should hide their whereabouts and head towards the tower, but Naruto didn't want to do such a sneaky thing in front of Sakura. So they lined up in a straight line, with Naruto at the front, Sakura in the middle, and Sasuke at the end, and swaggered towards the tower. They didn't forget to talk loudly on the way.

When they were a little closer to the tower, those blind guys really appeared. Naruto used the Thunder God Armor at super high speed to kill two of them instantly. As for the other one, he let him go so that he could inform the ninjas in the same village to avoid them having to take action.

However, not long after they walked, they encountered a group of Rain Ninjas, who performed similar techniques such as the Clone Technique. However, in Naruto's opinion, this was just a game and he just solved it with a large-scale combination of ninjutsu. In the face of absolute power, such little tricks would have no effect.

The powerful force of the ninjutsu was directly felt by the surrounding enemies, and even one or two lurking teams saw it directly. Its deterrent power was definitely not less than that of Gaara. After dealing with this group of enemies, no more enemies appeared. Naruto and his three companions walked into the tower with a swagger, and Sakura was holding Naruto's arm. Seeing Naruto's powerful strength, Sasuke was even more eager for strength.

After entering the tower and opening the scroll of heaven and earth, Iruka appeared and announced that the exam was successfully passed. Not only that, the third exam was to be held immediately. Unlike the previous one, this one had many spectators, including the daimyo and the Hokage. Moreover, it adopted a one-on-one approach, which more directly reflected the strength of the ninja. Most of the ninjas were eager to try this approach, but most of them looked at Naruto intentionally or unintentionally, because this was the opponent they least wanted to meet.

As random names appeared on the screen one by one, the first match was actually played by Sasuke who was in poor condition. Fortunately, he imitated Rock Lee's physical skills and created a lion and egg combination to win the opponent. Then the matches were played one by one, but Naruto was not very concerned about this level of competition. The only ones he needed to pay attention to were the freak Gaara and the overly intelligent Shikamaru.

Gaara's opponent is the hard-working Lee. Lee's taijutsu also made Gaara suffer, but the difference in strength meant that Lee could not win the game. Even if he opened 5 of the Eight Gates, he still only injured Gaara, and wounded himself. Although Naruto believes that hard work is definitely effective, there are also geniuses. No matter what, strength is strength. If Lee could open gates, it would be Gaara who lost.

Although Shikamaru's ninjutsu is not very powerful and his chakra is not that great, his clever mind gives him a great deal of strength. Through precise calculations and perfect strategies, he can often defeat very strong opponents.

Naruto's opponent is Kiba, who is also a Konoha ninja. Knowing Naruto's strength, Kiba can't help but cry out that he is unlucky, but he is not someone who gives up easily. Given Naruto's strong strength, Kiba immediately uses the strongest ninjutsu he can currently use, Kiba-Ku, a high-speed rotation physical technique to attack Naruto. This physical technique is also quite good. With the high-speed rotation, it is difficult for the enemy to get rid of it easily, and the enemy's position can be determined by smell. If it is more powerful, it will be perfect.

Seeing Kiba and Akamaru spinning at high speed, Naruto quickly gathered lightning chakra in both hands, changed his form and nature, and hit Kiba and Akamaru's heads. Kiba sensed danger when he approached Naruto, and quickly changed direction, attacking Naruto's back. Naruto smiled slightly, he didn't expect that he could change direction flexibly, but unfortunately, when Kiba hit Naruto, he immediately felt something was wrong.

At this moment, Naruto used the Thunder God Armor, and the powerful lightning not only blocked the joint attack of Kiba and Akamaru, but also injured them. Naruto quickly strengthened his chakra, and the powerful lightning immediately turned Kiba and Akamaru black, their hair all stood up, and they almost fainted and lost their fighting ability. Naruto did not move throughout the game, and defeated his opponent with just one move, which made the other ninjas in the stands deeply afraid. Kiba was also unbelievable, he did not expect the difference in strength was so big, in fact, if he knew Naruto's true strength, I wonder what he would think.

Although the battle only happened in an instant, the audience in the stands exclaimed, and many jonin felt incredible. The ninjutsu performed by Naruto was difficult for many jonin to master, and the Anbu arranged by Danzo reported this important information to Danzo. After receiving this news, Danzo immediately began to pay attention to Naruto. Although he was the Jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails, such a talent was definitely a rare genius.

The next few games are obviously not that exciting, but as ninjas, under Naruto's leadership, they will all fight with their strongest strength. After all, no one wants to be the last one in the rankings. However, there will always be a gap in strength. After many games, those who should be eliminated will still be eliminated, and the remaining ninjas who successfully advance will enter the next round of the semi-finals. There is still some time in the semi-finals to improve strength. Although Naruto has a certain degree of confidence in his strength, it is still not enough. Training is still a must.

What made Naruto unhappy was that Kakashi actually asked that so-called elite teacher, a special jonin, to guide Naruto's training, while he himself naturally had to guide Uchiha Sasuke to learn Chidori. However, if he went to the hot spring to train this time, he might meet Jiraiya, which would be a good opportunity. Since Kakashi arranged it this way, he just agreed to it.

Fortunately, the next training was really walking on water, and the place they went to was really a hot spring. Naruto was already very familiar with this kind of training, and what Naruto had been paying attention to was where Jiraiya was. However, he had not been seen, and if Jiraiya did not show up, then everything would be in vain. And Naruto's water walking made the so-called elite teacher scream and his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

"No way, absolutely impossible."

"A little devil"

"How can it be"

The voice Naruto was expecting finally appeared: "Sorry for being so noisy. I'm disturbing them from collecting materials. Maybe the students are stronger than the teachers."

As soon as Jiraiya appeared, he knocked the "elite teacher" to the ground with just one move. As expected of him being one of the legendary three ninjas, his strength is truly extraordinary.

After knocking one down easily, he looked at Naruto and said, "Boy, you should be the genius of Konoha that Kakashi mentioned, Uzumaki Naruto, right? Your chakra control ability is pretty good."

"After meeting you, I made a big decision."
