Ino rolled her eyes, already quite used to Yuuki's frequent quirky remarks.
"Naruto!"
The cacophony of voices was the perfect lullaby. Naruto, who was starting to doze off beside Minato, jolted awake at the sound of those familiar voices, instantly becoming wide awake.
He turned his head and saw Shinomiya Yuuki waving at him. A smile involuntarily bloomed on his face, and he quickly ran forward: "Yuuki!"
You've finally made it!
"I almost overslept, thank goodness Ino reminded the others, have they all gone in yet?"
Yuuki looked around and realized that, apart from Naruto, there were indeed no other classmates present.
"Yeah, yeah, let's hurry in, the assessment is about to begin!" Naruto nodded vigorously.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
The three of them rushed into the school gate in a great hurry.
Inside the school, graduation assessments were in full swing. Students lined up and entered rooms one by one. Occasionally, someone could be seen walking out with a worried look on their face, while others were all smiles.
Looking over, Shinomiya Yuuki saw Sasuke, Hinata, Sakura, Shikamaru, Choji, and others gathered at the back of the group.
"Oh, so you're so far down the line?"
Yuzuki stepped forward with a smile and greeted them.

"If it weren't for waiting for you guys, I would have finished the exam long ago," Sasuke said, arms crossed, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
"A friend in need is a friend indeed," Yuzuki said cheerfully, putting her arm around his shoulder.
"Yuyue-kun~"
At that moment, Sakura suddenly called out in her uniquely soft voice.
The sudden sound gave Yuuzuki goosebumps for no apparent reason.
Holy crap, there are traps in the ninja world too? What's going on here?
Why does Sakura suddenly seem like a different person?
He remembered that Sakura used to look down on him quite a bit, so why has her attitude changed so drastically now?
He looked back and forth between Sakura and Sasuke with suspicion. Besides Sasuke, there was no one else who could cause Sakura's personality to change so drastically.
He leaned close to Sasuke's ear and whispered, "Did you do some talking to him behind his back?"
Sasuke nodded slightly: "I just said a few words to help her change some bad habits."
Sasuke knew all too well how unlikeable Sakura was back then.
In the original timeline, Team 7 had only been formed a short time ago, and she was already criticizing Naruto for not having parents in front of him, while also dragging Sasuke and Kakashi into the conversation.
He offended three people on the team with just one sentence; his verbal skills are truly "impressive."
But the situation is completely different now. Naruto's strength is vastly different from before, and with the enigmatic Yuuki Shinomiya, Sasuke secretly gave Sakura a little "training" to prevent her from saying anything that might cause trouble again.
Clearly, Sakura absorbed Sasuke's words verbatim, resulting in a significant change in her understanding.
At that moment, Naruto and Ino also came over.
Sakura greeted them just as cheerfully: "Naruto-kun, Ino, good morning!"
"Um... good morning." Naruto was also a little unaccustomed to Sakura's change.
"Wow, you've changed so much!" Ino blinked and took Sakura's hand.
Sakura replied with a smile, "Sasuke said I'm more likable this way."
"I think so too," Ino said with a smile.
Chapter 57 Classification
The line moved forward in an orderly fashion, and soon it was Shinomiya Yuuki's turn.
I'll go in first.
Upon entering, I saw several teachers sitting opposite me; they must be today's examiners.
Seated in the middle was Iruka, and the person next to him was Mizuki, who had secretly sided with Orochimaru.
I wonder if he'll try to persuade Naruto to steal the Scroll of Seals again, but it seems the chances are slim.
While Yuu was observing the teachers, the teachers were also sizing him up.
Iruka caught a glimpse of Shinomiya Yuuki, a barely perceptible hint of helplessness flashing across his face.
Will this student, who is notoriously at the bottom of the class, be able to pass the exam and graduate today?
Yuuki didn't mention the incident of causing a scene at the Hyuga clan in class, and the Hyuga clan naturally wouldn't spread it around, so the matter only circulated within a small circle.
To outsiders, Yuuki is still that worrisome underachiever.
"Yuzuki Shinomiya, you may begin."
Iruka announced, silently calculating that as long as Yuuki's performance wasn't too outrageous, he planned to let her go directly.
"好的"
Yuuzuki began forming hand seals at a leisurely pace.
The test content was very basic, consisting of only three fundamental ninjutsu: Shadow Clone Technique, Substitution Technique, and Transformation Technique.
Before long, Yuuzuki completed the hand seals, and in the blink of an eye, a clone exactly like him appeared beside him.
Next came the demonstration of the Substitute Technique and the Transformation Technique; every movement was flawless.
"Pass...Passed!"
Iruka opened his mouth in surprise and announced Yuuki's results.
This is unbelievable! This kid, who everyone thought was at the bottom of the class, actually got a perfect score?
Regardless of Iruka's surprise, Shinomiya Yuzuki had already leisurely walked out of the room.
"Easy, no problem," Shinomiya Yuuki said with a smile.
Next up was Sasuke. He walked into the exam hall with his hands in his pockets, looking cool, and less than a minute later, he strode out.
Clearly, he passed smoothly. For Sasuke, this test was child's play. Now, with his rich combat experience, probably no one in the entire Hidden Leaf Village could surpass him.
Soon, everyone passed the test except for Naruto.
"I'm going in!" Naruto stepped into the room with brimming confidence.
"Can you feel the ground shaking?"
Not long after Naruto went inside, Sasuke suddenly said something.
"Earthquake?" Before the others could react...
The door to the room was suddenly pushed open from the inside! And then, wave after wave of Narutos poured out of the room like a tide!
Everyone scattered in panic, and soon the entire corridor was filled with all sorts of Naruto figures.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique?" Shinomiya Yuuki's eyes widened. When did this kid learn this move?
"Ah... this technique doesn't seem to be working very well," all the Narutos said in unison, scratching their heads awkwardly.
With a loud bang, all of Naruto's bodies instantly turned into white mist and disappeared, leaving only his original, grinning face, as Iruka grabbed him by the collar and threw him out.
You pass!
Shinomiya Yuuki walked over and helped Naruto up, then asked...
"When did you learn the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique?"
Faced with Yuuki's question, Naruto answered without hesitation, "My dad taught me that. Besides this, he also taught me this ninjutsu."
As he spoke, Naruto stretched out his hand, and chakra slowly gathered in his palm. A moment later, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound, a bright blue Rasengan took shape.
"You've even mastered the Rasengan in just one day! Your talent is truly amazing," Yuuki couldn't help but exclaim.
However, Minato should also be credited with this. As the creator of this technique, he taught it meticulously step by step; it would be difficult not to learn.
"Alright, stop standing there like an idiot, let's go back to the classroom. We'll be divided into classes soon," Sasuke reminded him from the side.
"Let's go then," the group said, and returned to the classroom.
Soon, one by one, the students were taken away by their respective Jonin instructors.
Everything proceeded smoothly. Team 8, led by Kurenai Yuhi, consisted of Hinata Hyuga, Kiba Inuzuka, and Shino Aburame.
Old Ma's Class 10 consists of a secret trio made up of Ino-Shika-Cho.
Soon, only Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura, and Yuuki remained in the classroom.
"So he really was the one who appeared out of nowhere?" Sasuke secretly observed Yuuki, pondering to himself.
Meanwhile, Shinomiya Yuuki was wondering, "Why are there still four people left?"
Is he going to replace someone in Team 7? Or will a Jonin mentor be specially assigned to him?
