"..." Wang Han arrived at the residence that the Third Hokage had introduced to him, and looking at the super luxurious courtyard of his neighbor's house, he was speechless.
'So, they're neighbors with the Hyuga clan, the largest clan in Konoha, known for their scornful looks and voyeuristic tendencies. No wonder there are empty houses here; few could stand it. It's definitely an unpleasant place to live, and the worst part is, there's nowhere to complain. But wait a couple of days, and I'll give you a taste of what's to come.'
After thinking it over, Wang Han carried his things and went into his house in Konoha. Behind him was the genin team that the Third Hokage had sent to help Wang Han clean his house: Rock Lee, Tenten, Neji, and their team leader, an acquaintance named Might Guy.
Two years ago, after Might Guy was released by Wang Han, he encountered the Konoha Anbu who had come to investigate after hearing about the Black Armor Man, and then returned to Konoha. After some investigation and several months of recuperation, Might Guy had almost recovered and became the leader of the elite class a year ago.
Wang Han had visited Konoha several times when he was a traveling merchant. He officially met Might Guy a year ago when Might Guy approached him, asking him to treat Rock Lee (who couldn't use ninjutsu or genjutsu). At the time, Wang Han only glanced at him and shook his head, indicating he couldn't help. After that, every time Wang Han came to Konoha, Might Guy would ask if he had come up with a solution. Also, this time, the price list was written by Might Guy.

(The protagonist will be able to speak soon.)
Night fell, and after the residents had all gone to sleep, a blond-haired boy dressed in a tan shirt sneaked into the Third Hokage's house.
He is Naruto Uzumaki, the protagonist who was ranked first in the Ninja Academy alongside the genius Sasuke Uchiha during his genin days, and the only one who failed the genin exams.
His proctor, Mizuki, told him that those who failed would have one more chance to retake the exam: steal the Scroll of Seals from the Third Hokage's house, go to a designated location, and learn one of the ninjutsu from the scroll within a specified time to graduate.
So he quietly broke into the Third Hokage's house. Strangely, the operation went remarkably smoothly. Not only were there no ANBU guards, but there was even a window open, and the Scroll of Seals was placed in a very conspicuous place. Naruto stole the Scroll of Seals very easily. When the Third Hokage discovered him, he used a Sexy Jutsu to cause the Third Hokage to bleed profusely, easily getting away with it.
After obtaining the Scroll of Seals, Naruto hurriedly headed to the agreed-upon location on the back mountain.
…………………………………………
"Naruto Uzumaki is too audacious. He usually plays pranks and the Hokage indulges him, but this time he has gone too far and even dared to steal the Scroll of Sealing. He must not be let off lightly this time."
Next to the Hyuga clan's residence, outside the window, two ninjas searching for Naruto Uzumaki hurried past, muttering complaints under their breath.
Wang Han, who was waiting with the lights off, twitched his ears. Even though the sound was very soft and the distance was not close, Wang Han, whose hearing had been enhanced, could still hear the two ninjas' whispered complaints clearly.
"Looks like it's been stolen. I don't know how many of the ninjutsu inside are real, but I'm sure the Shadow Clone Technique I wanted is definitely real." Wang Han muttered to himself, put on his armor which he hadn't worn in a long time, activated his speed boost, and disappeared from the room. Even the ANBU and Root members monitoring him didn't notice. In just a moment, their monitors had already left, leaving behind only the corpse of Wang Han used as a decoy.

"Hey... Naruto..." Iruka, panting, found Naruto carrying the Scroll of Seals in the back mountains of Konoha and shouted angrily.
"Hehehe..." Naruto looked at Iruka, grinned foolishly, and said, "You found out, I clearly only learned one ninjutsu."
'Practicing ninjutsu here?! Iruka thought to himself, looking at Naruto.'
Naruto excitedly said, "Iruka-sensei, I'm going to show you some really powerful ninjutsu. Once I learn it, you have to let me graduate! If I learn the ninjutsu on this scroll, I'm sure I can graduate, right?"
"You think you can graduate just by learning those ninjutsu? Who told you that?" Iruka was startled by this, realizing the problem, and quickly asked. Naruto could never have come up with such a question.
“Of course it’s Mizuki-sensei,” Naruto said. “Mizuki-sensei said that as long as I learn one of the ninjutsu on it, I can graduate. Mizuki-sensei told me about the scroll and this place.”
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." Suddenly, dozens of kunai shot out from behind Iruka. Iruka only had time to push Naruto away and make a defensive move before the kunai hit him. Fortunately, his arm blocked the fatal blows.
Upon arriving, Mizuki looked at Iruka and said, "I didn't expect you to be able to find this place."
"I see, that's how it is." The injured Iruka looked at Mizuki and understood everything. Naruto wouldn't know any of this; he was being used by Mizuki, who wanted to obtain the Book of Seals.
"Naruto, hand over the scroll," Mizuki commanded Naruto.
"Um, um, what exactly happened?" Even now, Naruto still doesn't understand what happened.
“Naruto, you must never hand over the scroll to him, even if it means death. It’s a dangerous object that was sealed away because it contains forbidden ninjutsu.” Iruka quickly stopped him, “Mizuki wanted that thing, so he used you.”
“Naruto, Iruka is afraid you’ll get that,” Mizuki said. “I’ll tell you the truth.”
"Idiot, shut up!" Iruka shouted, trying to stop Mizuki from continuing.
