"I can give you some suggestions," Naruto replied with his smile turning perverted with the blush on Hinata's face turning darker. A piece of chalk was thrown at Naruto's direction, hitting him upside the head.
"Damn it Iruka-sensei," Naruto cursed as he rubbed his head, "That was uncalled for!"
Sasuke scowled at how Naruto openly flirted with Hinata in front of everyone moments after pulling that stunt that insulted him and Sakura, but more so him he felt.
"That's enough jokes out of you Naruto," Iruka said with his anything but amused frown ever present on his face, "Despite the crude jokes behind your performance, you performed the required jutsus and surprisingly a B-class kinjutsu that no one else in this class can execute."
No one else but Hinata-chan, Naruto thought to himself.
"What I'd like to know is how you learned that jutsu Naruto," Sasuke asked.
"We're ninjas," Naruto replied, "And we're entitled to keep certain secrets to ourselves while keeping certain bodies of people in the dark about things. It's what gives us our trump cards in the shinobi world. Therefore, I'm not obligated to tell any of you anything."
Sasuke wasn't pleased to hear that from him as he wanted to find out about how Naruto was able to secretly learn and master a Jounin-level kinjutsu.
"You came a long way Naruto," Iruka said with a brotherly smile, "And you made very good improvements. You passed."
Iruka handed Naruto his head protector and watched as Naruto tied it around his head with pride. Everyone was expecting Naruto to start running and jumping around the room like an idiot, but that didn't happen.
"This is sweet," Naruto cheered, "This is just another accomplished milestone in fulfilling my dreams of becoming Hokage!"
"You did it Naruto-kun," Hinata smiled, "Just like I knew you could."
"Tell that to your old man when we see him later Hinata-chan," Naruto grinned.
"Everyone back to your seats please," Iruka instructed. Sakura and the other girls did as they were told while shooting glares at Naruto's direction. Mizuki went and retrieve the practice dummy and set it aside at the front left corner of the classroom.
"As of today," Iruka said, "You all are official Genins, full fledge ninjas of our village. With this position, no one in the Shinobi World will look or regard you as children but as adults and with that, you all will be treat as such. Take your role and responsibilities as ninjas serious as you all now represent our village in its entirety.
"Uchiha Sasuke, being the top student and graduate is hereby this graduating class's Rookie of the Year.
"Uzumaki Naruto, being our student with the lowest grades is this graduating class's Dead Last."
"Whatever," Naruto shrugged, "Such titles mean nothing to me."
"How course someone like you would say that," one of the girls retorted, "But I bet you'd be acting different if you were elected to be our class's Rookie of the Year."
"Quiet," Iruka berated, "Both of you. Despite the difference in academic statuses, all of you are still in the same ninja ranks and it'll be up to all of you individually to climb the ninja ranks and improve as you move up in your careers.
"But as for today, congratulations on your success in becoming the new additions to our ninja force."
(Later)
As everyone was leaving the classroom…
"Naruto," Mizuki requested, "May I have a minute of your time with you?"
"Sure Mizuki-sensei," Naruto complied before turning to Hinata, "I'll catch up with you. I'm sure I won't take long."
"A-Alright," Hinata said, "I'll be outside waiting for you."
With that Hinata left with the rest of the class.
"Come with me Naruto," Mizuki instructed as he led Naruto to the teacher's lounge. Upon entering, they found the room empty. The two went in and close the door behind them.
"So what's the deal Mizuki-sensei," Naruto asked.
"First off," Mizuki started, "I want to say that you did well in your performance during the Genin Exams and passing all of the required tests. I was sure you pass this time in spite of Iruka's doubts about it."
"Hey I learned from my past mistakes," Naruto replied.
"That you did," Mizuki agreed, "But there's another part to this test that very few know about. It rarely practiced and some senseis at this academy as hesitant in giving out to their students in fear of their students failing this particular and making them look back as their instructor."
"What test would that be," Naruto asked, curious about what Mizuki was saying.
"There's a special Scroll kept in the Hokage Tower," Mizuki explained, "The Forbidden Scroll of Sealing. This test required the participant to sneak in unnoticed into the Hokage Tower and retrieve the scroll and return back with it to the instructor."
"They would have to do that," Naruto asked, "Why such a test be given in the first place?"
"Naruto," Mizuki said, "There are certain realities about the ninja life that I'm afraid Iruka failed to instruct you guys in. Some of your future missions will require you to sneak into other villages and retrieve certain documents or scrolls and return back with them without getting caught. Sometimes these scrolls and documents could be hidden in a Daimyo's house, Kage Towers, clan estates, special vaults or other means of security.
