章 8: Chapter 8 : Graduation!

As he got close to Sasuke he saw a shining glint in Sasuke's hand and it was a

'KUNAI!'

Naruto jumped back and pulled out his Kunai and threw it towards Sasuke who parried it but that time Naruto reached him and held Sasuke's left hand with his left hand and with his left leg hit Sasuke's leg which made him fall on his knee and then with his right hand where he was holding a Kunai put near Sasuke's neck to end the battle

"The winner is Naruto"

Iruka declared the winner of the match and Naruto got in front of Sasuke and put his hand in front to make the Unison sign, Sasuke stood up and made the Unison sign, He was disappointed in himself and just wanted to leave this place and train

Most of the students remember Naruto and Sasuke's first fight and they believed that Naruto won by a fluke but his performance since then proved otherwise as he was first in the class on all tests, He was good at Shuriken Justu

"Alright with this let's go to the class for the last test"

Iruka sent everyone to class as they now had to give their last test which was the Transformation Technique and Doppelganger Technique, He thought knows a better Technique than Doppelganger which was the Shadow Clone Technique

He learned it when a Chunin named Mizuki told him to get a scroll to get stronger, Naruto thought that it would be stupid and get him kicked out of the Academy but he took the risk and went into Hokage's house and found some scroll which he read and left them there, From age of 8 he could learn things much quickly and his chakra manipulation went up by many levels as he just looked at Iruka performing Transformation technique and done it right away, for Doppelganger he read how to do it and pulled it off instantly

The same went for the Jutsu he read about in Hokage's office and one of them is Shadow Clone Jutsu, He also heard that Mizuki had been captured for trying to steal those scrolls the very next day after Naruto went there, He understood that he committed a crime then and told himself to never do anything stupid like that

Everyone got in the classroom and Iruka one by one made everyone come forward to perform those two Jutsu's, He was sitting there with the headbands to give those who passed the test

After a while, Naruto's name was called and he got in front while having his hands in his pockets he performed the Transformation Technique and turned himself into Choji

"Hmm... It's perfect"

Iruka graded Naruto and asked him to perform the Doppelganger Technique which is the Clone Technique, He performed it quickly as he was asked to make 2 Clones which he did precisely and got his badge from Iruka

Naruto graduated from the Academy with the best scores, Naruto left the class as he had to be here tomorrow for further instructions and Iruka again didn't stop him not because he preferred it that way but because he thought that it was too late to act as a teacher for Naruto and he should've done it sooner and now he only feels guilty about it

Everyone graduated from the Academy, Everyone's parents came to the ceremony to congratulate their kids, Naruto was waiting outside for Shikamaru and Choji who came when all the students got out of the Academy, Sasuke got out of there quickly and left, Shika-Cho met Naruto and started talking to him about their test While talking Naruto noticed Shikamaru and Choji's parents coming their way so he just bid farewell to them and left without another word, Naruto was afraid that like when he was 5 his friends stopped talking to him when their parents told them so Shikamaru and Choji might do the same and he didn't want to lose his best friends so he just left for his training ground

Naruto has been training for years with more determination than anyone and he got results well, Since the age of 8 he could see Chakra flow and could Control/Manipulate Chakra much better and quickly, Because of that he learned to perform the Jutsu's early than his peers

"Hey Naruto, Are you seriously training right after Graduation?"

Naruto immediately recognized the voice, It was Shikamaru along with Choji

"Well, This is fun for me"

"Yeah, well your ability is unique and interesting enough to train"

Shikamaru after his research and after asking his Father concluded that Naruto's Ability to Adapt is not any type of Kekkei Genkai but a completely unique Ability, So they decided to keep it to themselves, He also told Shikamaru about his Chakra Manipulation ability and seeing the Chakra Flow which is naked to the human eyes unless the Chakra is used in an extreme amount

When he was 8 years old he started seeing these flows and also understanding things much more quickly, the most important thing that Naruto learned is that he has two different types of energy running through him apart from Chakra, Two of them are Blue coloured and one is Dark Orange, Shikamaru who talked about Naruto with his Father knows that Naruto has Nine-Tails Beast inside of him and that is what Naruto could feel, Naruto confirmed that the Orange coloured energy is Chakra but one of the Blue energy is not Chakra but something which he could manipulate and it depletes a little every time he Adapts, Which got to the conclusion that his Adaptation Ability is a Non-Chakra Ability and uses that specific energy to work also that Naruto could see the flow and replicate some techniques also required that same energy which proves that he has more Non-Chakra abilities than he thinks, They put a lot of thought into it but after a month of effort they gave up and decided to just go with the flow

Naruto also told Shikamaru that he once meddled with the Orange Chakra and got into a Dark space where he saw a Monster that was trapped behind a Cage, Shikamaru didn't hide the fact that he had a Nine-Tails beast inside of him which made a lot of confusions clear, He found out that the Fourth Hokage put the Nine-Tails in him then that he means he played a big part in saving the village, then why was he treated that way that question was still something he couldn't figure out and just forget about after some time, He has already decided not to let these things discourage him, He just wants to keep good relation with those who are nice to him and others can keep blabbering as he doesn't give a damm anymore

Naru-Shika-Cho just sat together for a while and then Celebrated their Graduation at a Pork Shop and then left as from tomorrow on they are full-fledged Ninja who'll carry out missions for the Village
