In Naruto: Reborn with a Chat Group

Chapter 53: Chapter 53: The Graduation Day



At this moment, every group member was eating an extravagant dinner in the duel ground and this also brought a lot of profits to Makoto. The Chakra Makoto got from Hashirama alone had likely surpassed Kakashi's chakra reserve, not to mention the numerous techniques he got from others.

As he observed everyone eating and drinking in the duel group, he couldn't help but feel happy. After all, he got a lot of things from others without even doing anything except for setting up a dinner.

...…

Soon, six months went by in the blink of an eye and the graduation day for Makoto's class arrived.

Over this period, Makoto's life had been quite comfortable. From time to time, he received Chakra, Techniques, and other rewards from the group members members in exchange for real-world items.

He also spent time with Hinata and Ino at school and occasionally beat up Sasuke who had frequently challenged him. After losing to Makoto in their last spar, Sasuke had been training even harder, hoping to defeat him and reclaim his position as the top student. But no matter how much Sasuke practiced, he had never been able to defeat Makoto.

After all, Makoto's progress was just too fast.

Every day, group members were eating, drinking, and sending over new techniques and other items. Though they were mostly basic, and nothing particularly top-tier, Makoto's overall strength has already exceeded a Jonin.

At the very least, he was an elite Jōnin!

As a result, Sasuke continued to challenge him during the combat assessments, but each time he was defeated more thoroughly than the last.

Almost every day, Sasuke would pester Makoto, pushing himself to the limit in their sparring.

Makoto found this a bit odd. It seemed as though Sasuke had developed some strange habit after losing to him countless times.

Sasuke had also changed a lot in this time.

He still didn't pay much attention to the others around him but he had started to interact with Makoto, even awkwardly inviting him to eat ramen together.

Makoto was surprised. Could Sasuke be suffering from Stockholm Syndrome? Had he beaten him to the point of emotional attachment?

_____________

Makoto wasn't worried about the graduation test at all. He already knew the exam was just about performing the Clone Technique, which he had already mastered half a year ago. Thus, he had no concerns about the graduation exam, but Naruto was deeply worried since he didn't know the Clone Technique at all.

Despite Naruto's anxiety, the graduation exam proceeded as planned.

As the top student of his year, Makoto was the first to be called up. He performed the Clone Technique flawlessly, earning his headband with ease. This meant that he had successfully graduated from the Academy.

However, the group members were a little confused when they saw this unfold.

Currently, everyone was no longer gathered in groups as before, but instead, they were all in the duel arena.

Hashirama had used his Wood Style to build houses for everyone, turning the duel grounds into a small village.The members had even hung plaques with their family names in front of their homes. For example, Tobirama had the "Senju Clan" plaque in front of his house. Izuna also hung the "Uchiha Clan" plaque in front of his house. Hyuga Hizashi displayed the "Hyuga Clan" plaque.

Soon, a small hidden leaf village had formed in the duel ground. Hashirama was especially thrilled, even building a circle of walls and putting up a gate that read "Hidden Leaf Village".

This time, Hashirama appointed Madara as the leader of this small Konoha Village, which caused Madara to call Hashirama insane.

Now, everyone was gathered in the center of this small Konoha Village, chatting in small groups while watching the outside world.

For them, this was completely different from their previous experiences in the Pure Land. Before, they could only rely on the chat group to observe the outside world, but now it was entirely different. It was as if watching a drama.

...…

As everyone watched Makoto graduate and receive his headband, some of them had speechless faces.

Tobirama vented his frustrations while drinking wine.

[Senju Tobirama: So, You can really graduate from the academy just by performing Clone Technique. Does this really make you a ninja? Can anyone honestly tell me if these kids can put up a fight on the battlefield? I never imagined the graduation exam would be about the Three Bodies Technique]

[Uchiha Madara: So getting a headband means you're a Genin? But can someone like this really be called a ninja?]

[Uchiha Izuna: Maybe they made it easier for every child to graduate as a ninja.]

[Senju Tobirama: Fair enough! In that case, they are all ninjas. But it's just one of the Three Bodies Technique. Can there really be someone who doesn't know it?]

[Uchiha Madara: How could anyone be that much of an idiot?]

But what no one expected was that such an idiot actually existed.

As the exam continued, all the students received their headbands one after another. But when Naruto performed the Clone Technique on stage, It ended up transforming into a super-mini version of himself.
