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