It was not an easy choice, one was a major AoE while the other would give him the ability to create another fighter to work alongside him and even use jutsu.

Naruto hesitated for a second before pressing the 'Confirm (Y)'.
You've obtained the skill 'Kage Bunshin no Jutsu'.
[Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Active) Lv1 Exp: 0.00% CP: ½ total CP]
Kage Bunshin are corporeal copies capable of everything you are include fighting, using jutsu and learning new things. The first kage bunshin will reduce your CP by ½ and each additional kage bunshin's thereafter will reduce the kage bunshin's CP by ½. For example, if you have CP: 2000, one kage bunshin will have CP: 1000, but one hundred Kage Bunshin will have CP: 10. Kage bunshin will dispel with one solid hit or when they run out of chakra, if they die by being hit, the unused CP will return to your CP pool.
Objective completed: Awarded 2000 Exp.
Naruto had to read that description a few times to make sure he understood what he learned. He was itching to try it out and according to the timer he still had a lot of time left, at least ten minutes. Then a thought occurred to Naruto. "Can I learn the other technique in the scroll? I mean, I've got lots of time right?" Naruto picked up the scroll again.
You've obtained the skill catalogue [Forbidden Scroll of Seals].
Would you like to open the catalogue?
Naruto nearly cackled with joy. He tapped the 'Confirm (Y)' and the scroll list reappeared.

Naruto hadn't even noticed the timer had expired during his celebration and self-reflection.
"Naruto," yelled the all too familiar and all too angry voice of Iruka.
"I found you," replied Naruto, speaking without Naruto choosing to do so.
"Idiot, I found you," yelled Iruka. "Do you have any idea what you've done?"
"Do I get the extra credit now? I learned a jutsu from the scroll so I get bonus points on my test right. That's how it works, isn't it?"
Iruka's eyes widened. "Who? Who told you that?"
"Mizuki-sensei, he told me about this scroll and this place," answered Naruto, a moment later Iruka shoved Naruto out of the way and was hit by several kunai, thankfully nothing vital was hit.
Naruto watched Iruka's HP drop slightly but not enough to kill him.
"I'm impressed you found this place, Iruka," said Mizuki, mock surprise in his voice saying otherwise.
"I see how it is," said Iruka, his voice slightly strained by the obvious pain he was in.
"Naruto, give me that scroll," ordered Mizuki.
"What the . . . what's going on here?" asked Naruto, it was starting to feel like he was stuck in a cut scene of some kind given that his answers weren't given under his own power.
"Naruto, never give him that scroll!" counter ordered Iruka, his leg bleeding pretty heavily as he yanked out one of the kunai that was only moments ago impaled in his leg. "It's a dangerous object that contains forbidden ninjutsu. Mizuki used you in order to get it for himself."
"Wha . . ."
"Naruto, Iruka is only afraid of you having that scroll," said Mizuki, he was clearly lying about after everything Naruto had already seen and experienced that night but even still, it was like his body was on moving and active of its own accord.
"Huh?"
"Don't let him fool you, Naruto."
"I will tell you the truth."
"Don't you dare, it's forbidden," Iruka cried out, clearly worried now about what Mizuki was about to say.
