Everyone who has watched Naruto knows that Naruto isn't good at clone jutsu.
However, there's a part which confuses me: how did he elude those 2 guys
chasing him after he steals that forbidden scroll in the first episode?

In the anime, from 1:40 to 1:50, it showed the same wall where Naruto passed
by and followed by 2 guys. Then, 1-2 secs later Naruto was revealed hiding
behind the wallpaper. How did he do that? He couldn't have used a
transformation jutsu; if he did he could just stay in the transform jutsu. He
shouldn't be faster than Chuunin or Jounin, but from 1:41-1:45 it showed them
chasing him at the same speed (Although, if they have higher speed than
Naruto, they would have caught him).

How did Naruto elude the Ninja chasing him at the start of Episode 1?


First of all, he was vandalizing around the town when the two guys were
chasing him. He steals the scroll later on. And it wasn't the transformation
jutsu either. Just a simple trick with the wall paper. Now don't ask me where
did he get that wall paper.

As for speed, even if he is a rookie, he is still a ninja and the other two
didn't seem to be exceptionally skilled either. If it's someone like Kakashi,
clearly he didn't have a chance.

I figured the ninja didn't want to hurt him by physically detaining him, a
chuunin should have more stamina than a normal genin, not that Naruto is
normal mind you. They were probably waiting for him to tire out to bring him
in with the least injury.

The bunshin part is what confuses me. You could play the devil's advocate and
say he turned a corner, created a bunshin, and hid. The issue is he can't
create stable bunshins.

The user controls the reflection of light around their body using chakra,
causing their form, shadow, and even breathing to become invisible to the
unaided eye. Because they perfectly blend in with their surroundings, the user
can sneak up behind an enemy without being noticed.
