It seems the only way to steal The Book of Seals is to proceed with the plan!
"System, I choose the second option," Naruto said without hesitation.
"Ding Dong! Congratulations to the Host for making the choice. You've been granted the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique and 1 Skill Upgrade Scroll. Please complete the task within one day, or the reward will be withdrawn!"
[Skill Upgrade Scroll]: You can use it to upgrade skill levels, including various ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, and more.
According to skill level, skills are classified as: Beginner, Intermediate, Adept, Skilled, and Expert.
"Ding Dong! Would you like to create a personal panel?"
"Create it!"
Soon, Naruto saw his personal panel in his mind:
---
Host: Uzumaki Naruto
Age: 12 years
Strength: Genin
Bloodline: Sage Body of the Uzumaki Clan (Level 3)
Deidara's Explosion Style Bloodline Limit (Level 1)
Skills:
Uzumaki Clan's Sage Body (Skilled) (Vast Chakra, Adamantine Sealing Chains, Kagura's Mind Eye, Physical Healing, Sealing Techniques)
Deidara's Explosion Style Bloodline Limit (Beginner) (Clay Ants)
Multiple Shadow Clone Technique (Beginner)
Transformation Technique (Expert)
Clone Technique (Beginner)
---
"Huh? I'm at the Beginner level in the Clone Technique?" Naruto asked in surprise. Did the problem get solved that quickly?
"Ding Dong! Since Multiple Shadow Clone Technique is an advanced ninjutsu derived from the Clone Technique, the Host automatically reaches the Beginner level after receiving the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique reward, and the Clone Technique also reaches the Beginner level!"
"I see," Naruto nodded in understanding.
This way, he can graduate easily without worrying about getting sent to the Roots. But since he chose the second option and received the reward, he must steal The Book of Seals, or else he'll lose the reward.
As for the other reward, Skill Upgrade Scroll, Naruto thought carefully and realized that Multiple Shadow Clone Technique would be the most beneficial in the long term since it enhances training.
"System, use Skill Upgrade Scroll on Multiple Shadow Clone Technique."
"Ding Dong! Multiple Shadow Clone Technique has been upgraded to Adept."
"Ding Dong! Since the Host possesses an Expert level skill, a special reward Skill Upgrade Scroll is granted!"
"Really? That's a nice surprise! Looks like I owe the original Naruto some thanks for putting so much effort into learning the Sexy Technique!"
Naruto grinned, and added the newly acquired scroll to Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.
"Ding Dong! Multiple Shadow Clone Technique has been upgraded to Skilled. Since Multiple Shadow Clone Technique is an advanced form of Clone Technique, Clone Technique is automatically upgraded to Skilled."
Naruto was pleased as he reviewed the hand seals for the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique in his mind.
At this time, Naruto was hiding in the school bathroom's stall to keep his secret safe from the Anbu ninja.
He exited the system interface, thought for a moment, then began rapidly forming hand seals.
Suddenly, a shadow clone identical to him appeared beside him, and with the ability of Kagura's Mind Eye, he suppressed his chakra and disappeared.
Then, Naruto casually walked out of the bathroom and headed straight for the school playground. The Anbu ninja monitoring him didn't notice and continued following him.
Five minutes later, Naruto's shadow clone quietly slipped into Mizuki's office.
"Naruto, why are you here? I was just about to look for you," Mizuki's eyes lit up upon seeing him.
"Trying to fool me like in the original story?" Naruto thought to himself but maintained a dejected expression, saying, "Mr. Mizuki, I want to pass the graduation exam. Can you help me?"
Mizuki felt a thrill of excitement and smiled at Naruto, saying, "There's one way! There's a huge scroll in the Hokage's office, containing powerful ninjutsu. If you learn it, you'll surely pass the graduation exam!"
"Really? What should I do, Mr. Mizuki?" Naruto feigned excitement.
"You just need to sneak in and steal it, then bring it to the forest in the northwest corner of the village. I'll be waiting for you there, and I'll teach you all the powerful jutsu from the scroll!"
Naruto flashed a big smile at Mizuki, revealing his white teeth, and continued:
"Mr. Mizuki, I'm worried there may be listeners around. Let's go to the empty playground and make a complete plan."
Mizuki looked at Naruto's shadow clone in surprise, slightly taken aback by his caution. But he didn't think much of it, engrossed in his fantasy of the scroll.

This was Naruto's second night in this world.
Last night, he blew up the fat shopkeeper's store.
This morning, he killed the Anbu ninja who insulted him, along with the shopkeeper.
And now, he planned to steal The Book of Seals.
For someone who was once a law-abiding citizen in his previous life, he never expected to turn out like this upon arriving in this world. All he could say was that this world wasn't kind to him.
Regarding the heist, Naruto had discussed a detailed plan with Mizuki.
---
It was a dark night, perfect for sneaking around.
Using the same method as before, Naruto's shadow clone quietly left the house.
With Kagura's Mind Eye for sensing and hiding, he avoided the patrolling guards and Anbu ninjas, carrying a barrel of oil as he quietly approached the Hokage's office.
In his perception, there were two guards hidden in the Hokage's office.
