"Don't be so angry, it's easy to get old and get wrinkles," Naruto said leisurely, looking at the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.
"Wrinkles? I'm a Tailed Beast, how could a Tailed Beast get wrinkles?" The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox looked at Naruto with disdain.
[Experience Points +3]
"Why no wrinkles? The wrinkles on both sides of your mouth have already appeared," Naruto also looked at the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox with disdain.
"What? Wrinkles on both sides of my mouth?"
The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox was a bit bewildered, raised a paw and touched its mouth, then roared, "Those are my whiskers!"
[Experience Points +3]
"So, they're whiskers."
"Nonsense, of course it's whiskers," the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox said, its dead fish eyes fixed on Naruto.
"If you have whiskers now, how old will you look later? It's obvious it's caused by your bad temper," Naruto retorted.
"I had whiskers the moment I appeared in this world, it has nothing to do with my temper!" The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox was furious, feeling that this little brat was getting more and more irritating.
[Experience Points +3]
"Oh, so you've been like this since you appeared? Obviously, your temper was too bad from the start, and you're malnourished from being so angry."
"The hell with malnutrition!"
The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox was enraged, wanting to slap Naruto away with a claw, but Naruto was just too infuriating. It made the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's eyes turn red.
But it was sealed and couldn't hit Naruto. It could only sulk, curling up and ignoring him.
"See, you can't argue with me, can you? You should get angry less often. You'll never find a girlfriend if you're always like this, aging before your time," Naruto said, not letting up.
"Shut up!" The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox couldn't help but want to lash out again.
[Experience Points +3]
"See, you're angry again. You need to learn to endure, to be open-minded. You have to learn these things as you grow, or you'll be angry every day and end up bald."
"Get lost, brat!"
The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox was furious, its fur standing on end. It never expected Naruto to say, "bald." That was just infuriating.
Enraged, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox raised its large paw, pointing at Naruto and saying, "When the seal is removed in the future, I will definitely beat you up."
[Experience Points +3]
"Oh? Is that so? I'm quite looking forward to it."
Naruto smiled meaningfully. When the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox came out, his strength might reach an unimaginable level. By then, who would be beating whom was uncertain.
So, Naruto wasn't afraid of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox at all. He even started to chatter like a certain monk, continuing to earn Experience Points.
Time ticked by. When the Experience Orbs around the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox disappeared, Naruto's consciousness returned.
"Another 46 Experience Points earned, plus the previous 5 Experience Points, I now have 51 Experience Points. Time to continue exchanging."
Naruto said, without hesitation, choosing to exchange for Saiyan blood.
[Ding! Exchange successful, obtained 5 units of Saiyan blood.]
A warm current flowed through his body. Naruto ignored it and opened his data panel.
Ding!
Naruto: Pseudo-Saiyan
Blood: 65 drops of Saiyan blood
Abilities: Enhanced Shadow Clone Technique, Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, Three Body Techniques, Kunai Throwing Mastery, Chakra Control Mastery. Experience Points: 1
"65 drops of Saiyan blood already… I wonder if I can guide out Ki/Energy? I'm really looking forward to it." Naruto murmured, closing his eyes and once again beginning his "Ki/Energy" training. He even planned to train more.
As for the issue of sleep, there was no need to worry at all. With such a strong physique, coupled with the Saiyan blood, he was far superior to Gaara. Gaara could endure without sleeping, so for Naruto to stay up for a night or two was nothing. Even ordinary people could manage a night or two without sleep, let alone Naruto. Therefore, he trained for an entire night.
The next morning, the sun was bright, and the birds were singing amidst the flowers.
Naruto, fully prepared, left his home and headed towards the Academy. After a night of refining, he still hadn't managed to cultivate "Ki/Energy," and he had refined a large amount of Chakra, but…
But Naruto vaguely sensed a hint of abnormality. It seemed that with the increase of Saiyan blood, he had a tendency to guide out "Ki/Energy," which made Naruto feel very happy.
He decided to continue accumulating blood, striving to cultivate Ki/Energy as soon as possible, but there was one thing that surprised him.
That was strange. The Anbu who had been monitoring him were all gone, not a single one remained.
"Could it be that after yesterday's Mizuki incident, I've gained the Third Hokage's approval? Or does the Third Hokage think I'm strong enough that he's worried about the Anbu being discovered?"
Naruto frowned, unable to figure it out. However, he didn't bother thinking about it further and headed towards the Academy.
Today was the Academy's orientation, the day they would be assigned to their teams. They would have new teachers to guide them. Naruto knew without a doubt that his new teacher would be Kakashi.
As a key character in the story, Kakashi was sure to possess a significant amount of Experience Points. Naruto decided to seize this opportunity to earn more Experience Points.
After all, he had absorbed almost all of the Experience Points from his classmates. Absorbing another wave today would probably finish them off. He would need to find new targets afterward.
And Kakashi was a great option. Of course, the Third Hokage, Danzo, Might Guy, Kurenai Yuhi, Asuma, and others were also on Naruto's list.
"Right, I should try to see if Shadow Clone Technique can absorb Experience Points." Naruto thought to himself, quickly forming hand seals.
Boom, boom, boom!
White mist billowed, and several Shadow Clones appeared around Naruto, silently awaiting his command.
"Go." Naruto waved his hand, and the Shadow Clones instantly vanished.
"Don't disappoint me."
Naruto muttered to himself, then turned and walked towards the Academy classroom, entering it.
"Naruto, why are you here? Today is the explanation meeting after the Genin graduation, aren't you not a Genin?" Ino asked, puzzled, upon seeing Naruto enter.
The students around them were also curious and were looking over, while Hinata was listening in, her small ears perked up.
Only Sasuke showed indifference. He had originally thought Naruto was hiding his strength, that he was a master, but he hadn't expected him to fail even graduation. This truly disappointed Sasuke.
So, he wasn't concerned with what Naruto was doing, instead, he crossed his arms and acted cool.

Naruto looked at the large number of experience point prompts and pointed at his Headband (Ninja Symbol), saying, "Can't you guys see this?"
"Huh? Headband (Ninja Symbol)? You actually graduated! How did you do that?" Sakura looked at Naruto in surprise, very curious about how he managed it.
The surrounding classmates were also very curious. They originally thought Naruto had completely fallen behind them, but in the blink of an eye, Naruto had also graduated, which they couldn't understand.
And Sasuke, who was originally in his cool demeanor, also turned his head, puzzled, "Naruto, have you mastered the Shadow Clone Technique?"
"No." Naruto said with a slight smile.
"Then how did you become a Genin (Lower Ninja Rank)?" Sasuke frowned, feeling like there was an event he didn't know about.
"Guess," Naruto replied.
"Me!" Sasuke was speechless, and then stopped talking.
Naruto didn't continue interacting with them, but instead walked over to Hinata and sat down beside her.
"Na... Naruto."
Hinata looked at Naruto beside her, her beautiful eyes filled with joy. When she realized everyone was looking at her, she immediately lowered her head, embarrassed.
Looking at the adorable Hinata, and the larger experience orb around her, Naruto felt like he wouldn't be able to absorb all the experience points at the Academy today, but he quickly thought of a solution. Then he said,
"Hinata, come over to my place to play today, I'll cook you something delicious."
"Really!"
Hinata immediately thought of the delicious grilled fish from that day when she heard about good food. Her inner foodie suddenly surfaced, and she quickly nodded her head.
"Good food? Naruto, you can cook?" Sakura approached, looking at Naruto with suspicion. In this world, it was rare for men to cook, let alone a 12-year-old like Naruto.
So, Sakura's gaze was clearly skeptical, and the other students around them had similar looks.
"Naruto's cooking is delicious, especially the grilled fish. It's so fragrant; it's even better than what the chefs make." Hinata quickly explained, praising Naruto's cooking skills without hesitation.
"Really that amazing?" Sakura didn't believe it, feeling like they were exaggerating a bit.
"It's really amazing. I absolutely love the grilled fish," Hinata said in praise, a serious expression on her fair face.
