Chapter 65
Time was like the leaves on a tree—falling one by one, slowly withering.
In the blink of an eye, it was already time for Natsuki's class to graduate.
Naruto, the usual troublemaker, had surprisingly stopped causing as much chaos. Turns out, his addiction to playing cards had grown stronger—he'd rather spend his time playing than messing around.
Besides, in Naruto's mind, graduating was already a sure thing.
Ever since he mastered tree climbing and water walking, his chakra control had improved by leaps and bounds. Using the Three Basic Jutsu was no longer a problem.
Or so he thought.
But reality was far more cruel.
On the day of the graduation exam, Iruka-sensei announced the test topic: Clone Jutsu.
Naruto was instantly confident. He had long since mastered clone techniques and had even, somehow, picked up Natsuki's Clone Combination Technique, using it to defeat several classmates during outdoor training.
