"What if I practiced that Ninjutsu?" Naruto muttered to himself, eyes shining with excitement.
"This… this is a powerful Ninjutsu that I, Naruto, created myself…"
He hesitated for a moment, then whispered with dramatic flair, "Sexy Technique!"
The Sexy Technique was, in fact, a variation of the Transformation Technique. By its very nature, this meant that Naruto could indeed practice it. The realization made him nearly leap for joy.
"So the real show is about to begin!" he exclaimed, a wide grin spreading across his face.
Naruto had only ever tried this move in secret before. He had never seriously trained it. Now, with the system guiding him, he was determined to refine it properly. He quickly recalled from memory the "techniques" he had seen in picture books at the bookstore, imagining himself collecting materials to perfect the move.
Drawing in a deep breath, he refined his chakra and channeled it through his entire body. Forming the hand seals with precision, he called out:
"Transform!"
Suddenly, a perfectly beautiful woman appeared before him, descending in a swirl of white smoke. The room filled with a faint, fragrant mist.
But Naruto shook his head, his critical eye noticing imperfections.
"Hmmm… there are still too many flaws…"
"Transform!"
He repeated the process, this time focusing intensely, refining every detail. Though Naruto had already demonstrated remarkable skill with the Sexy Technique in the past—using it to fool people like the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, Jiraiya, Ebisu, and even the final boss, the Chakra Vanguard Ōtsutsuki Kaguya—he had never fully understood the underlying principles. In his mind, the technique often seemed silly, even childish.
Yet, in practice, the Sexy Technique was incredibly practical. It was simple, effective, and—when used cleverly—could distract even the most vigilant opponents.
For hours, Naruto trained tirelessly. He repeated the technique again and again, pouring his heart into it, his first genuine Ninjutsu training where supervision was not required.
At last, the system confirmed his progress:
[The presenter has successfully completed 100 Transformation Techniques. Transformation Technique proficiency +3, current proficiency: 64 points]
[The presenter has successfully completed 100 Sexy Techniques. Sexy Technique proficiency +3, current proficiency: 58 points]
The system clearly distinguished between the two, rewarding proficiency independently.
Even Kurama, the Nine-Tailed Fox sealed within him, watched silently from within Naruto's mind. He tilted his head and shook it slightly, ears flicking.
"Hmph… a boring kid creates a boring Ninjutsu…"
Of course, Kurama's remark didn't affect Naruto at all. He was too absorbed in his training to care about the Nine-Tails' judgment.

Meanwhile, in the Hokage Office
As midnight approached, the village of Konoha lay in peaceful silence. Within the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, rubbed his tired eyes. His day had been long and filled with official matters, but he still maintained a wry, patient smile.
He lit his pipe and reached for a report that Naruto had submitted through the Anbu. As he read, he frowned slightly.
"Hmm… that Naruto… is he still at it? I wonder if this time…"
Blowing a thick plume of smoke, Hiruzen's thoughts trailed off. "Heh… perhaps it's for the best."
Curious, he glanced at the crystal ball sitting beside his desk. With a casual wave of his hand, he formed the necessary seals.
"Telescope Technique," he whispered.
The fog on the crystal ball cleared, revealing Naruto's room in vivid detail.
On the other side, Naruto formed hand seals, and white smoke swirled around him. A figure appeared, an elegant and seductive woman, her movements fluid and teasing.
Hiruzen's heart raced. His face turned crimson as he instinctively looked away, but curiosity drew him back.
"Mmm-hmm…" the figure purred, blowing a playful kiss toward the crystal ball.
Instantly, Hiruzen was struck with a sudden jolt. His body shook, his old frame unable to contain the shock. Two nosebleeds gushed forth!
"Th-this…" he stammered, covering his face, his body swaying backward.
The Anbu, alerted by his shocked cry, rushed into the room.
"What happened, Hokage-sama? Are you injured? An enemy attack?"
Hiruzen waved them off quickly, trying to regain composure.
"N-nothing! Don't come any closer!" he said, though his red face betrayed him.
The Anbu stood in tense concern. "Hokage-sama, please take care of yourself!"
Coughing and blushing, Hiruzen covered the crystal ball, unwilling to reveal the embarrassing scene.
"Damn… what kind of depraved Ninjutsu did that kid Naruto come up with? At this age?!"
Though he tried to maintain composure, deep down he knew: this was the work of a genius in his own right. Without fully exerting himself, Naruto had already created a technique capable of fooling even a Kage-level expert from afar. It was a feat unprecedented in Konoha's history.

Ninja Academy Evaluations
Back in the present, Naruto continued his training diligently. His mind, however, also considered the upcoming Ninja Academy evaluations. The system monitored him strictly.
The evaluations were divided into three main areas: academic knowledge, basic Ninjutsu, and ninja competitions.
Academics were straightforward. Basic Ninjutsu evaluation, however, occurred randomly each year. Naruto had often struggled in these tests, particularly with the Clone Technique, his weakest skill. In fact, he had failed multiple graduation exams due to poor performance in this very area.
The Ninja Academy accepted students at age six and graduated them at twelve, a standard peacetime schedule. Exceptional talents, such as Kakashi Hatake and Uchiha Itachi, were rare but demonstrated the possibility of early graduation. Kakashi had graduated at five, became Chunin at six, and Jonin at twelve. Itachi joined the Anbu at eleven.
Even in peacetime, theoretical early graduation was possible. In fact, Uchiha Sasuke could have graduated early but chose to continue his training.
Naruto now had the ability to pass the Clone Technique exam. But to finish in the top ten of his class, he needed more. Passing the Transformation Technique exam with high marks could significantly increase his chances.
After his first intense training session, Naruto's Clone Technique and Sexy Technique had improved dramatically, reaching proficiency scores of 69 and 63, respectively.
The improvement was remarkable, a testament to his tireless work ethic and natural talent.

Bedtime and Dreams
Exhausted, Naruto yawned and drifted off to sleep. Thanks to the system, his mind could finally rest without distraction. He was slowly acclimating to Tong Zi Ge's presence, even developing a subtle dependence on the system—almost like a legendary form of Stockholm Syndrome.
Naruto's personality thrived under the constant push and supervision. For the first time, he understood the value of disciplined guidance.
In his dream, he imagined himself atop the Hokage building, clad in the official robe and hat. He stood tall and imposing, arms folded, gazing down upon the ninja and villagers of Konoha with authority and pride.
Even in sleep, Naruto's heart brimmed with determination, ready to face the next day of training and challenges. The birth of a true ninja was underway, and the seeds of greatness had been planted.
The night stretched silently over Konoha, with one young boy dreaming of becoming a legend.
