Thirteen of his clones nodded and instantly dashed away.
Sakura didn't notice much, but Sasuke noticed how their Body Flicker Jutsu was quite good, better than his.
That shouldn't be possible since Naruto wasn't good at Chakra Control.
Body Flicker Jutsu was just a D-Rank Jutsu, but it worked based on one's Chakra Reserve and Chakra Control.
'He must be trying to show off.'
Sasuke shook his head and ignored this little detail.
In his eyes, Naruto had a ridiculously high Chakra Reserve, which should've been the reason behind such a speed outburst.
But while his clones had left to search for other teams, Naruto was left thinking about his current situation.
He could feel that something was very wrong with him, but he couldn't understand where that difference came from.
That dream was too real, and there was so much information that he didn't know how to process it.
That's why he had left all of that information in the back of his mind while concentrating on simpler things.
Like, why Seventh Hokage, why Hinata Hyuga?
After thinking for a while, he understood it better, completely forgetting about his team, which gave him a suspicious look.
After all, it wasn't normal for Naruto to stay silent for a long time.
And now, it had been over an hour, but Naruto hadn't moved at all. He looked so focused that Sasuke and Sakura didn't even try to distract him.
While they were keeping an eye on him, Naruto's face started turning red.
He never realized Hinata liked him since childhood. It felt weird to be liked and admired by someone as good as Hinata.
Naruto was a pervert. Unlike Sakura, Hinata was absolutely the most beautiful woman in the Leaf Village.
And her charm was similar to Tsunade, who turned out to be the Fifth Hokage. Kakashi Sensei became the Sixth Hokage.
'No wonder I became the Seventh Hokage. But, can I really marry Hinata?'
When he thought of Hinata's figure from the future, he couldn't help but blush like a boiling pot.
He didn't even realize he was imitating Hinata unconsciously.
He hurriedly shook his head.
'No, no, no, I mustn't think like that. That's my future wife. I am not a pervert. I am not a pervert. I am not a pervert.'
After he said that three times in his mind, Naruto calmed down and finally gained some focus.
His eyes fell on Sasuke and Sakura, who were staring at him with confusion. Behind Sakura's confused look, there was a slightly amused glint in her eyes.
"What?"
He gave them a confused look.
"You were blushing just like Hinata."
Sakura pointed out without much hesitation.
"No, no, I wasn't thinking about Hinata."
Naruto hurriedly shook his head and denied without even registering her words properly.
Sakura showed a look of realization as she said.
"So, that's it! You were thinking about Hinata. But why now?"
Even Sasuke looked surprised.
Before Naruto could answer, he suddenly felt a shock in his mind as he said.
"My clone found a team. Let's go!"
"Hey, how did you know that? We didn't see your clone." Sakura asked while they were running towards the enemy's hideout.
It was nearly half a kilometer away from their current position.
"Shadow Clones send information back to me after I dispel them." Naruto replied.
Suddenly, Sakura stopped.
"Wait, we seem to be running in circles."
"Huh?"
Naruto paused, trying to sense whether he was really under a Genjutsu or not.
[Release]
He molded his Chakra and released the Genjutsu, while Sasuke, who wasn't using his Chakra, stopped.
He folded his hands while Naruto saw several people coming his way.
"Shadow Clones?"
Naruto asked.
"No, look! They don't have shadows. They are normal clones." Sakura pointed at one of them who was standing far away from them.
This clone was completely above the ground, unlike other clones, and he had no shadows.
Normally, Naruto would've charged straight in with his fist, but this time, he took out several of the shuriken and threw them towards those clones.
Although his shuriken marksmanship wasn't as good as Sasuke's, he still managed to take out a large number of those clones with a few shurikens.
But this move didn't work, as they continued creating more of those clones.
"Tsk! Teme, you should do it."
He clicked his tongue and immediately turned towards Sasuke.
Sasuke was surprised by Naruto's words. He knew Naruto wouldn't back down so easily.
Seeing his surprised expression, Naruto said.
"What do you expect? This is a Chunin Exam. I want to become a Chunin after this. Besides, you don't need to put any chakra while throwing shuriken."
Sasuke snorted and took out the shurikens connected to a sharp wire.
While he might not powerful dynamic vision without Sharingan, his shuriken Jutsu was still better than Naruto's.
In just a single swing, he managed to destroy all of those clones by maneuvering his shuriken using the wires.
"So, you are there."
Naruto suddenly spoke and dashed towards the right side. He moved so fast that the enemy ninja couldn't even see him coming.
Gathering Chakra into his fist, he punched the man on his head, smashing it so hard that it lost consciousness while being half buried.
"Damn it!"
The other two panicked, seeing their teammate go down with a single strike. They took out several of the kunai and started firing at Naruto.
But this was exactly what Naruto wanted. Since he couldn't find them while they were underground, he was waiting for them to attack.
And, the moment they attacked, two of his shadow clones suddenly emerged from the back and kicked them on the back of their neck.
"Woohoo! That's three down!"
Naruto raised both of his hands excitedly as he cheered.
Seeing this, Sakura, who was interested in how Naruto managed to knock out a Genin with a single punch, stopped herself from asking.
"Good job, guys!"
Naruto gave thumbs up to his clones, and they dispelled themselves.
