Iruka looked at the class and announced,
"Today's graduation test is the Clone Technique."
"Isn't that the technique Naruto can't perform?" a student asked, smirking.
"Hahaha, I can't wait to see the idiot embarrass himself," Kiba added, leaning back in his chair and glaring at Naruto provocatively.
"Seriously, what a loser. Always dead last, always stumbling around like a fool. Just because you changed your look today doesn't mean you're any better. You're still a useless little brat!"
"Yeah, nobody takes you seriously," he continued, voice rising with mockery. "A weakling like you? You're a joke. A walking failure. Everyone knows you'll never be a real ninja, Naruto. Don't even try to act cool."
Naruto slowly stood from his seat. In a single step, he appeared in front of Kiba, who was sitting across the room. The entire class froze, eyes wide, stunned by the speed and precision of his movement.
He looked down at Kiba with a dangerous, cold smile, his presence radiating a terrifying calm.
"Hey, disgusting dog… you have the nerve to speak like that in front of me? To call me a fool?"
Kiba blinked, shocked at how suddenly Naruto was in front of him, but only for a brief moment. He stammered, trying to recover.
"Hehe… who do you think you are, idiot? At least that's what you… you dead-last fool, always whining, always clumsy, can't do anything right—"
Before he could finish, Naruto's fist shot forward and struck Kiba in the chest with incredible force, sending him crashing against the wall.
"A mortal dares defy me? Should I kill you?" Naruto leaned closer to Kiba, his eyes cold and merciless. Kiba slumped to the floor, unconscious.
Before Naruto could take another step, Iruka appeared, eyes wide in horror.
"Naruto! What are you doing? How could you do something like this? Have you gone mad? Kiba is your classmate!"
The entire classroom froze.
Sakura and Ino's mouths formed wide "O"s of shock.
Sasuke stood up from his desk, glaring at Naruto with disbelief.
Is this really the same dead-last fool? he thought, unable to reconcile the boy before him with the one he had known.
Shikamaru sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. This is going to be very problematic… that guy, Naruto… Choji dropped the chips he had been holding.
Naruto's lips curled into a faint, cold smile as Iruka approached. "Iruka-sensei, this guy insulted me. He called me a fool, a dead-last idiot, a clumsy, pathetic brat who can't do anything right. Should I just stay quiet and swallow the insults of others?"
"Even if he was wrong, you should have told me! I would have punished him. Naruto, you disappoint me—get out! You've failed."
Naruto laughed "Hahaha… so be it. If being a ninja means being insulted, mocked, and hated by everyone… then I would rather not be one, Iruka-sensei."
He realised he didn't need to be a ninja to learn about this world. He could leave this place and discover the world's secrets on his own.He turned to leave the classroom, moving with a dark elegance that drew every gaze.
But suddenly, someone stopped him.
He looked back and saw a girl with pink hair. Sakura… the girl Naruto liked… what she wants?
"N-Naruto, you idiot! What's wrong with you today? Why are you acting like...".
Before she could finish her sentence, Naruto pulled her into his arms.
"Hehe… you're so worried about me… are you trying to stop me?" he whispered in her ear. Sakura froze, her face turning crimson.
"Idiot… Naruto… let me go!"
"Okay, okay…" Naruto thought, This young girl is very easy to tease.
The entire class watched silently, dumbstruck.
Hinata's expression shifted. First it was worry for Naruto, then shock… and finally jealousy.
Naruto released Sakura from his grasp, then with a flicker of his body, he vanished from the classroom, slipping out the window. Within moments, he appeared atop the statue of the Fourth Hokage. From there, he looked down at the village of Konoha.
I need to leave this village… but I am not strong enough yet. The Foundation Stage is weak. I cannot underestimate this world. I don't know what dangerous techniques lurk here. I need to break through to Nascent Soul… at least.
As he stood on the cold stone, Hiruzen appeared beside him, his expression full of worry.
"Hi, Naruto… are you okay? Why did you do that to that child today? he will need to stay in the hospital for at least a week."
Naruto turned to him, his eyes red, voice low and sharp.
"Hokage… old man, he insulted me for nothing… did nothing to deserve it. In my life, I swore I would never allow anyone to make a fool of me. I will not be humiliated, not by mere mortals"
He paused, staring at the village below, the wind ruffling his long hair, his expression cold and unreadable.
This world is weaker than Jianghu, but its fools still bite. I cannot afford to be gentle.
Hiruzen sighed. Even after an hour of trying to relax at home, he couldn't stop worrying about Naruto. He activated the Crystal Ball to check on him. The sight before him made his heart skip a beat. Naruto had beaten Kiba so badly that he had passed out. Without hesitation, Hiruzen hurried out to confront Naruto and demand an explanation.
"Naruto, you must learn to forgive. It's not right to act like this. If you continue, your comrades in Konoha may come to dislike you. The life of a shinobi is dangerous. In moments of true peril, having comrades to support you might save your life."
Naruto turned to him, a mocking smile curling across his lips. His red eyes glinted with cold amusement. The demon Fang Chen needs those weaklings to support him? I've killed thousands of cultivators from the allied sects by myself. Ants depending on each other are irrelevant to me. I am Fang Chen.
He tilted his head slightly, studying Hiruzen, the faintest shadow of menace in his expression. Mortals, shinobi, friends, enemies… all are the same. Weak. Disposable. The only thing that matters is power. I need to get stronger.
