Cool.
Next, he grabbed one of his practice logs and performed the Kawarimi no Jutsu until he developed that skill as well.
[Kawarimi no Jutsu] (Active) [Level 75, EXP 54.12]
A basic Shinobi skill and one of the 'Academy Three' in all the Hidden Villages of the Elemental Nations. This jutsu allows you to switch places with something in an instant. The higher the level, the smaller the object can be that you replace yourself with. A very high level indeed is required to switch positions with someone with more chakra than yourself.
Smallest size of object you can replace yourself with: Jam Jar-size.
"Again, cool." Naruto grinned. He had practiced those two jutsu quite a bit in the last two years, so it wasn't really a surprise that he had maxed out the Henge and come damn close with the Kawarimi.
"That just leaves…the kami-forsaken Bunshin." he sighed. Running through the three handsigns, Naruto declared dully, "Bunshin no Jutsu."
In an explosion of smoke, three sickly looking illusion clones appeared before vanishing. A small window appeared after that and the blond read it quickly.
[Skill Failed!]
You have not met the perquisites in order to properly utilise this skill.
You require [Chakra Control] 30% of Max CP in order to use this skill.
Please try again once you have fulfilled the perquisites.
Naruto could only stare dumbly at the window. He had to have Chakra control equal to thirty percent of his Chakra Points. That was, at a conservative estimate, something like 210. With his CP going up by a hundred every level, it would be impossible to use that jutsu!
'Keep calm. Iruka-sensei said he'd have a word with Jiji about this. Things will be fine.' he thought with enforced calm.
Moving past that, Naruto wondered what else he could do. Yesterday, he had run through the kata of the Academy Hakage Style and hadn't gained so much as a single experience point, which meant he had to actually fight or spar with someone in order to level his Taijutsu up.
So…what did that leave? He didn't want to practice the Kawarimi no Jutsu for too long as that made him dizzy after about an hour, and he had already maxed out the Henge no Jutsu.
"Wait a minute! What about my stealth and trapping skills?!" Naruto hurriedly checked through his fourteen skills and saw that neither were there.
"Right. Time to remedy that." Naruto cackled, rubbing his hands together as he started planning to execute what would be his last prank for a few months, "Now where did I put the glue and feathers…?"
Half an Hour Later…
"Get back here you brat!" howled one of the chunin chasing Naruto. The entire group was covered from head to toe in glue and bright pink feathers that Naruto had found in a box outside his apartment one day.
Naruto was ginning like a Hyena as he led the pack of chunin on quite the merry chase through the streets of Konoha. This had been the best idea yet. He had received both of the skills he had set out to gain and three points to his STR from all the running around.
[Bloodthirst detected!]
Immediately to the left!
Not questioning the window, Naruto threw himself to the right just in the nick of time as a ninjatō slashed down where Naruto had been running not two seconds ago.
"Ryūto!" one of the feathered pursuers barked sharply, "What the hell do you think you are doing?!"
The man with the ninjatō snarled in a drunken way as he tried to stab Naruto with his blade. He wasn't one of the feathered pursuers. His clothes were filthy and smelt of stale beer and cheap hooch. The only thing that was remotely clean about him was the blade he wielded.
The ninjatō looked as if it had been obsessively and meticulously polished, sharpened, oiled and tended for years. The sharp edge cut through the air with a distinctly high whistle as he chased Naruto along the street.
"Shit! What the hell?!" Naruto yelped as he avoided being shish-kebabed by the sword yet again, the sword glinting in the sunlight as it flashed past Naruto in slow motion from his perspective.
"Ryūto! Stop this at once!" one of the pink feather brigade yelled, "This is ridiculous!"
"Fuck off!" the man bellowed as he clumsily slashed at Naruto again. The blond orphan was very, very glad that he was so lucky as he fled towards the Hokage Tower.
Two back blurs shot over Naruto and a strangled grunt of pain came from the pursuing man. Risking a peek over his shoulder, Naruto could see two ANBU operatives restraining the man.
Deciding that it was time to make like a tree and leaf, Naruto snuck away, deciding to spend the rest of the day trying to create skills…from the safety and sanctity of his apartment.
Just in case.
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
The Next Day…
Final Year Classroom, Konohagakure Shinobi Academy
Naruto was feeling more than slightly depressed. Why, might you ask? The answer is simple: every single person in the entire damned classroom that was on his Reputation Page was a higher level than he was!

He felt like banging his head off of the wall. How the hell was he going to catch up to them before graduation? He was Level Five, which was one level above most of the civilian-born students. He had a lot of catching up to do.
