"Naruto! Focus on me! Stop staring at your seatmate, Furen!" Iruka Umino, with a deep scar running down the middle of his nose, shouted loudly.
After being scolded by Iruka, Naruto quickly turned his head back to the blackboard.
Sasuke, sitting beside Naruto, snorted disdainfully, while Iruka sighed and glanced at Furen, who had been catching Naruto's attention.
Noticing Iruka's gaze on him, Furen looked around his surroundings.
To his left, Sakura Haruno, with her pink hair, was sneaking infatuated glances at him, while to his right, Ino Yamanaka was openly resting her chin on her hand, staring at him with hearts in her eyes. Sakura and Ino occasionally exchanged glances, sparks flying as if they were ready for a showdown.
Even the shy Hinata, sitting not far away, would sneak peeks at Furen. Whenever he looked back at her, she quickly lowered her head, blushing furiously.
Outside the window, even Tenten from Class 8, who was already a Genin, would lean on the window of the ninja school after finishing her missions, looking at Furen.
"Five years already..." Furen, who had grown used to being surrounded by girls, showed a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.
It had been five years since he transmigrated into the world of Naruto.
The body he had crossed over into, named Tsukiyo Furen (Moonlit Night Furen), was that of the child of two Genin who died in the war. The only things his parents had left him were a secluded residence and the monthly pension from the Hidden Leaf Village. He had been managing his life on his own ever since.
During the first year of his arrival in the Naruto world, Furen was ecstatic to begin refining chakra. However, as the years passed, although he succeeded in refining chakra, it turned out to be utterly ordinary, with nothing special about it. In fact, it was slightly weaker than that of his peers.
The only notable feature was that after months of frugal living, Furen managed to buy a chakra paper for testing. When he tested his chakra nature, the paper split in half, revealing that his chakra nature was the rare Wind Attribute.
Although he had no particular talent in chakra or ninjutsu, fate had granted him a perfect body and appearance. Even Sasuke, the widely acknowledged handsome guy in the Naruto world, couldn't compare to Furen.
Among his peers, Furen was taller than most, and his appearance was reminiscent of the Fourth Hokage: gentle and kind at first glance, unlike Sasuke's perpetual scowl. Furen's handsome face made him incredibly popular.
Originally, Sakura and Ino had both been obsessed with Sasuke, but now they surrounded Furen every day.
Naruto, who had been watching the scene closely, was obviously staring because his crush, Sakura, was sitting next to Furen. But it wasn't just Sakura; almost all the girls in the class were sitting around Furen.
Because of him, the class seating arrangement had been split into two factions—Furen and the girls on one side, and the boys on the other. This left Naruto, Shikamaru, Kiba, and the other boys feeling quite envious.
Iruka looked at the girls surrounding Furen and shook his head. Strangely, he found himself feeling a bit jealous of this war orphan.
So young, and he already has so many girls chasing after him, while I haven't even held a girl's hand all these years... Iruka's thoughts began to wander before he quickly snapped out of it and refocused on today's lesson: the essentials of the Clone Technique as part of the Three Basic Techniques.
Hearing Iruka mention the Three Basic Techniques, Furen leaned forward slightly, paying close attention. The love-struck expressions of Sakura and Ino only intensified.
"Furen looks so cool when he's focused!" Sakura and Ino screamed inwardly.
"Today, Iruka specifically emphasized the Clone Technique, one of the Three Basic Techniques that we've already practiced many times. This probably means... today is the day of the Genin Exam!" Furen thought to himself, linking Iruka's words to the events in the original Naruto story.
The Three Basic Techniques Iruka was teaching were the foundational skills all Genin learned: Clone Technique, Substitution Technique, and Transformation Technique. Although his chakra reserves were mediocre, Furen had long since mastered these techniques.
"In the original story, Naruto couldn't even perform the Clone Technique properly at this point..." Furen's thoughts were interrupted when a strange voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
