Naruto, born from the world of his parents.

As the son of the Hokage and a user of all chakra natures except Yin, Naruto naturally possesses a wide range of ninjutsu skills.

Having just graduated from the Ninja Academy, he has already mastered double-digit ninjutsu. Although they are all low-level ninjutsu, at this age, he can already be called a little ninjutsu expert.

However, in this world, Naruto discovered that his body was completely unfamiliar with all the ninjutsu he knew. Apart from the most basic Three Body Technique and Shadow Clone Technique, his body didn't know a single ninjutsu.

This can be seen from the awkwardness in his hand seals when he just used the Mud Swamp Technique.

So initially, he didn't intend to use any ninjutsu other than taijutsu.

But just as his own voice echoed in his heart, a scene about the Book of Seals suddenly appeared in his mind.

It was a night in the Forest of Death, a memory of secretly reading the Book of Seals.

This is clearly not Naruto's memory. Perhaps for ordinary people, the Book of Sealing is a taboo in the village, but for Naruto, in a way, this complete guide to ninjutsu can be considered his enlightenment in ninjutsu.

If he wanted to, he could freely browse through the Hokage's office after completing his father's or mother's task, so why would he need to sneak into the Forest of Death?

Moreover, this doesn't fit his personality.

Although it's unclear why this body wanted to steal the Book of Seals, it gave Naruto a reason to use ninjutsu.

His hands moved rapidly as he stared intently at Kakashi before him, almost whispering, "Sasuke, use Fire Release!"

Almost instinctively, Sasuke's hands also began to move.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

The fireball, originally as tall as a person, was transformed into a towering fire tornado by Naruto's Wind Release technique.

This scene even startled Kakashi.

As the fiery tornado hurtled towards them, Kakashi flipped his hands.

"Earth Release, Earth Formation Wall."

Using the earthen wall to block the fire tornado's momentum, Kakashi immediately jumped onto a nearby tree and watched the unabated fire tornado, his forehead even starting to sweat.

"Are all the genin this year monsters?"

He couldn't help but sigh, but the next second, a gust of wind blew past his ear. The wind came too fast, and Kakashi only had time to raise his hand before he felt a sharp pain in his arm and was kicked away.

But this is just the beginning.

After unleashing his second Fireball Jutsu, Sasuke, with very little chakra left, forced himself to look at Naruto, who was dominating Kakashi, with a somewhat vacant expression.

If it weren't for the real, visceral emptiness caused by excessive chakra depletion, Sasuke would have thought he was dreaming.

No, even the wildest dream wouldn't produce such a scene.

Naruto, the universally acknowledged loser, the loser he never took seriously, was actually dominating a Jonin.

Thinking of this, Sasuke couldn't help but clench his fist.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it! Even this guy is already this strong, Uchiha Sasuke! And you're still wallowing in your self-destructive obsession with being number one in this childish game! At this rate, when will you ever be able to kill that man?!"

The intense emotional stimulation caused a strange change in his eyes; his originally bright black pupils suddenly turned blood red, and a black tomoe appeared in the blood red, making him look extremely eerie.

As his eyes changed, Sasuke's originally meager chakra also became more abundant.

He was panting heavily, his muscles tense, and just as he was about to rush forward, he heard Naruto's voice beside him.

"Sasuke, can you still use Fire Release?"

Sasuke paused for a moment, turned his head to look at Naruto beside him, and then looked at Naruto fighting Kakashi in the forest. A terrible thought rose from the bottom of his heart.

"Has Naruto become so strong that he can hold off a Jonin with just one Shadow Clone Jutsu?!"

Seemingly sensing Sasuke's thoughts, Naruto beside him smiled and said, "That's the real body over there. I can still use Wind Release once more. The real body will create an opportunity for us in a moment."

"Chance?"

"Yes, a chance to hit Kakashi-sensei."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the martial arts duel in the forest was decided.

After Kakashi got completely serious, he kicked the exhausted Naruto away. Then, almost without any warning, he rushed towards the flying Naruto. Just as he was about to grab Naruto, a voice suddenly rang out next to Sasuke.

"Now!"

The shadow clone and Sasuke's hands moved rapidly, and the fire tornado, exactly the same as before, struck again.

This ninjutsu forced Kakashi to stop his advance and use the ninjutsu again.

But at that very moment, a leaf that had flown behind him suddenly stretched out a hand.

Kakashi, who was using ninjutsu, had no time to pay attention to this and could only watch as the hand took the string of bells from his waist and quickly left.

……

"You're really wise in disguise."

Kakashi, looking somewhat disheveled from the ordeal, gazed at the remarkably quiet Naruto before him and sighed with genuine emotion.

Hearing Kakashi's感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of deep emotion or reflection), Naruto simply smiled modestly: "This is not all my achievement. It is thanks to Sasuke's help, Kakashi-sensei's lack of seriousness, and a little bit of luck."

"There's no such thing as that much luck."

Kakashi waved his hand, looked at Naruto, and suddenly said, "But you brat remind me of someone."

Upon hearing this, Naruto's heart tightened, and he instinctively asked, "Who is it?"

"It's nothing, just a senior I respect very much."

Sensing that Kakashi didn't seem to want to talk about this person, Naruto's eyes dimmed slightly, and he became even more certain of that terrible idea.

"Alright, after the test, you two perfectly meet the standards of a ninja. In the name of the Jonin leading Team 7, I hereby declare you to have passed the test."

Sasuke was overjoyed upon hearing this.

"So, I've finally become a ninja?!"

Thinking that he was one step closer to that man, Sasuke couldn't help but clench his fists.

He was about to speak, but he subconsciously glanced at Naruto and saw Naruto's furrowed brows. For some reason, he didn't say anything.

"Kakashi-sensei, I have a question."

"What?"

Naruto looked into Kakashi's eyes and asked with utmost seriousness, "What do you mean by the two people you mentioned?"

These words brightened Sakura's eyes, who was looking down. She looked up, seemingly surprised that Naruto would say such a thing.

Kakashi, while looking at the Icha Icha Paradise in his hand, said with utter indifference, "Didn't I just say that only those who obtain the bell can pass? Since the two of you have passed, the remaining one will naturally be eliminated."

Upon hearing Kakashi's words, Sakura's eyes instantly dimmed. She lowered her head, took a deep breath, forced a smile, walked to Naruto's side, and said seemingly indifferently, "Never mind, Naruto. It was because I wasn't strong enough. I'll go back to the Ninja Academy to study."

As she spoke, she patted Naruto on the shoulder and said with great cheerfulness, "Don't get too cocky just because you've become a ninja. I'll catch up with you soon."

She glanced at Sasuke shyly and added in a low voice, "And Sasuke too."

Naruto simply watched her quietly, and only after she finished speaking did he softly ask, "Sakura, becoming a ninja is your dream, isn't it?"

"what?"

Please answer me, yes or no.

Naruto's unusual seriousness made Sakura's heart tighten. Looking into Naruto's deep blue eyes, she finally couldn't hide her feelings and, unable to maintain her composure, covered her face and cried.

"So what if I am? It's already like this. I'm just an unqualified person."

Upon hearing Sakura's answer, Naruto stepped forward, gently took her hand, pulled it down, and looked intently into Sakura's eyes.

"Someone very important to me once told me that talent is the most unfair thing in the world, but equally, hard work is the fairest thing in the world. Are you willing to work hard for your dreams?"

Sakura was stunned when she looked into Naruto's eyes.

Naruto's eyes, Naruto's voice, and even the sun-like color of his hair, at this moment, were like a torch, completely igniting something deep within Sakura's heart that she had always denied and suppressed.

She looked at Naruto, tears streaming down her face, her voice trembling with sobs, yet filled with an unprecedented determination.

"Of course I'd like to, of course I'd like to! I've worked so hard at the Ninja Academy for so many years, never just to go back to school or become an ordinary person!"

Naruto laughed when he heard Sakura's answer.

He turned to Kakashi and said, "Kakashi-sensei, I've made up my mind."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, if you're going to eliminate Sakura, then I'm sorry, but I can't accept becoming your student."

Upon hearing Naruto's words, a glint flashed in Kakashi's eyes, but his tone remained as cold as ever.

"Oh, I see. May I ask why?"

"Because Konoha is very important to me."

This completely unrelated answer startled Kakashi: "What did you say?"

"I want to protect Konoha, not just the village itself, but everyone who lives on this land and considers themselves a Konoha person. I want to protect their lives, their smiles, and their dreams."

"As Sakura's comrade and a member of Konoha, I feel it is my duty to protect her dream. At the same time, I do not believe you are qualified to be a Jonin instructor, so I will take Sakura to find another Jonin to instruct her."

Hearing Naruto's final words, Sakura, who was initially moved and confused, was startled. She walked over to Naruto and gently tugged at his sleeve, trying to stop him from continuing.

Kakashi, however, showed no sign of stopping. Instead, he looked at Naruto with utmost seriousness: "You're saying I'm not qualified to be a Jonin leader?"

"Yes, I don't think a wicked ninja who uses Jonin standards to evaluate Genin is qualified to become a Jonin leader."

Upon hearing this, Kakashi's lips twitched beneath his mask.

He looked at the vast forest beside him, which had been destroyed by Naruto and Sasuke, with a strange expression in his eyes.

"You call this a genin?!"

But his expression remained icy: "Everyone has their own standards. I respect yours. And you, Uchiha Sasuke?"

"I agree with Naruto's point of view."

Upon hearing this, Kakashi's lips curled up beneath his mask, but his expression remained as cold as ever.

"You don't think I'm qualified to lead the team either?"

Looking at the silent Sasuke and the calm Naruto, Kakashi asked again, "So are you sure you want to give up your qualifications to become ninjas for this girl?"

The air was incredibly still; you could even hear the leaves falling to the ground.

In this deathly silence, Sakura, who had performed the worst in this test, stepped forward. Although the tear tracks on her face were very obvious, her expression was more determined than ever before.

"Kakashi-sensei, I give up."

"What?"

"I give up. These two guys chose to give up becoming ninjas for some inexplicable reason. I think this is a trampling on my dream, so I give up becoming a ninja and also give up my partnership with these two guys."

After saying that, Sakura turned around and looked at the astonished Sasuke and the calm Naruto. Forcing back her sorrow, she said, "Did you hear that? Don't flatter yourselves, you two arrogant fools! I don't need your inexplicable pity! Just be good ninjas!!!"

As she finished speaking, Sakura's voice cracked, and she felt tears welling up in her eyes again. She quickly turned around, her back to everyone, and strode towards the edge of the training field.

But after taking only a few steps, they heard Kakashi's voice.

"Haruno Sakura".

Hearing Kakashi's voice, Sakura stopped in her tracks, but Kakashi's voice continued.

"Uchiha Sasuke".

"Naruto Uzumaki"

After reading out the names of the three people, Kakashi's serious and cold expression became incredibly gentle.

"As your supervising Jonin, I hereby declare you qualified."

"Huh?"

Seeing Sakura's surprise, Kakashi explained, "A ninja who cannot complete a mission is a piece of trash, and a ninja who abandons his comrades is even worse than trash. This is a saying that an old friend of mine told me, and it is also the true meaning of the bell test. In my opinion, only those who cherish their comrades are qualified ninjas."

All three of them were shocked, with Naruto being the most surprised.

But it wasn't because of that.

Based on his understanding of Kakashi, he certainly knew what this trial was really testing.

What surprised him was Kakashi's words.

"An old friend? What happened between Kakashi-sensei and Obito-nii in this world?"

Looking at Kakashi's face, Naruto discovered something incredible.

"Could it be that in this world, Rin didn't marry Kakashi-sensei, but instead married Obito-sama?!"
