Naruto kept the party going late; he did this on purpose.
Not knowing if the Third Hokage was watching, not exposing himself was the optimal solution, so he dragged out the party time to avoid others getting bored and sparring.
If his strength were exposed, Kakashi would become vigilant, and it wouldn’t be easy to plot against him later.
In the evening, after taking Hinata and Hanabi home, Naruto deliberately kept Sakura behind.
“Naruto, is there something you need?”
Inside the villa, Sakura and Sasuke each had a cup of hot milk, sitting on the sofa and watching Naruto enter, asking.
“It’s about the team assignments tomorrow.” Naruto said while changing his shoes.
“The assignment list hasn’t been released yet, has it?” Sasuke looked at Naruto with some confusion.
“Hehe, I have internal channels.” Naruto smiled, gave a thumbs-up, and flashed his white teeth.
“So you mean, the three of us are teammates?” Sakura understood Naruto’s meaning immediately; she turned to look at Sasuke, her eyes lighting up instantly.
Seeing Sakura like this, Sasuke couldn’t help but twitch his mouth.
He silently took a sip of milk, avoiding Sakura’s intense gaze.
“Right, according to the old man’s scheduling, the three of them—Shikamaru and the others—are bound to be a team; the Ino–Shika–Chō team is quite famous in Konoha.
Hinata, Kiba, and Shino are all more functional-type Ninjas, so putting them together saves manpower for teaching.”
Naruto plopped down next to Sasuke, picked up the milk Sasuke had heated for him, drank it in one gulp, and then continued.
“Sasuke and I have unquestionable strength, but our theoretical knowledge is extremely lacking.
Among the remaining people, only you, the top student in theory, can make up for this shortcoming.”
Although he said that, Naruto didn’t actually think theory was useful; after all, his idol had always been Uchiha Madara, a powerhouse who would rush into a crowd and go on a rampage.
“Since you know the team assignment list, what are you planning to do?” After coming out of her excitement, Sakura frowned and asked.
She didn’t think Naruto was just telling her about the team assignments; everything Naruto did had a purpose.
“Tomorrow, I plan to test what our team leader is made of, so I need you and Sasuke to cooperate.” Naruto pulled out a pair of sunglasses from somewhere, put them on, and said with a deep expression.
Seeing Naruto like this, Sasuke and Sakura were already used to it; after all, the fact that he was a bit crazy from time to time was common knowledge.
“Does that teacher have a grudge against you?” Sasuke asked, not understanding.
Based on his understanding of Naruto, although this guy skipped class, played pranks on teachers, and even had a disrespectful attitude toward the Hokage, he was essentially someone who respected teachers and principles.
Not to mention skipping class, the pranking only lasted half an hour; usually, when he met teachers, he would greet them, and if they needed help, he would lend a hand.
As for the Third Hokage, honestly, the way the two of them interacted was more like grandfather and grandson, rather than Hokage and villager.
So, since Naruto proactively suggested targeting the team leader this time, Sasuke could only think that the teacher had a grudge against Naruto.
“No, I just want to spar with a strong person.” Naruto denied it directly, his eyes unconsciously glancing to the right.
‘These two definitely have a grudge.’ Sakura and Sasuke both concluded in their hearts simultaneously.
Every time Naruto lied, he would pretend to be nonchalant while performing a small action, like glancing away, scratching his head, or touching his face.
“Fine, what do you plan to do?” Sasuke rubbed his temples and asked.
“Hehe, we’ll do this and that, and then that and that.”
The three talked until very late before Naruto had Sasuke walk Sakura home; for this, Sakura even secretly gave Naruto a thumbs-up.
Naruto began preparing the props he needed.
In the Sealing Space, the Nine-Tailed watched this series of operations and couldn’t help but mourn for two seconds for the poor bastard tomorrow; being targeted by this kid would be quite an ordeal.
The next day, Naruto deliberately put on the orange outfit from the original story, repeatedly adjusting his facial expressions in the mirror until Sasuke called him, at which point he came out of his room. Enjoying the story? Read on at g.com.
“…” Looking at Naruto’s attire, Sasuke fell silent.
“How is it?” Naruto flashed a goofy smile.
“It’s incredibly stupid.” Sasuke’s mouth twitched, and he immediately covered his face, unable to bear looking at it.
“That’s the effect I wanted.” Naruto was very satisfied with Sasuke’s reaction.
“…Let’s walk separately later; I don’t want people to mistake me for hanging out with an idiot.” Sasuke threw breakfast at Naruto with a look of disgust, then turned and walked away.
“Hey, you guy, you eat my food, live in my place, use my stuff, and now you’re disgusted with me?
You heartless scoundrel.” Naruto pointed at Sasuke, putting on a tearful expression, like a young girl who had been used and then abandoned by a scumbag.
Hearing this, Sasuke didn’t even turn his head, walking even faster, his face full of disgust.
In the Hokage Office, the Third Hokage, who was watching this scene through a crystal ball, had no expression, but silently took out a bottle of blood pressure medication and swallowed half the bottle in one go, making the three Kakashi team members twitch.
Sasuke rushed to school at the fastest speed of his life, as if something dirty was chasing him.
Seeing Sasuke alone, the other students in the classroom gathered around.
“Sasuke-kun, why did you come alone?
Where is Naruto?” Ino walked up to Sasuke casually and asked.
“Aren’t you two usually inseparable?” Kiba said teasingly.
Sasuke gave Kiba a look of disgust.
“Don’t talk to me about that super idiot.”
Hearing Sasuke’s answer, everyone was puzzled, only Sakura silently lowered her head; she and Sasuke were the only ones who knew the inside story.
Judging by Sasuke’s expression, Naruto’s outfit today must have been terrible.
“Yo, good morning everyone!” At this moment, a vibrant voice sounded from outside the door.
Everyone turned their heads towards the door at the same time, and the whole classroom instantly went quiet.
Naruto was wearing a yellowish outfit, with a goofy smile on his face, greeting everyone.
“Pfft!” “Chuckle!
Hahahaha”
After a long silence, a deafening roar of laughter erupted in the classroom; everyone pointed at Naruto and laughed wildly, and many were even lying on the floor, pounding it frantically.
“Enough!
What do you guys mean?
Is it that funny?” Naruto roared at the crowd, looking unhappy.
Upon hearing Naruto’s words, everyone stopped, then looked up at Naruto, and then burst into wild laughter again in unison.
“You guys!” Naruto was so angry his hands shook; he looked at Hinata, who was dazed, and immediately ran over, throwing himself into her arms.
“Hinata-chan, they’re bullying me.” Naruto looked up at Hinata with a wronged expression.
But the next second, Naruto petrified.
Hinata’s hands were nowhere to put; she looked around, her face wearing an awkward smile, and the eyes glancing at Naruto carried a hint of disgust that she herself hadn’t even noticed. This chapter was copied from g.com without permission.
Naruto froze in place as if struck by lightning, his whole person turning greyish-white.
Then he silently let go and lay on the table, motionless.
Actually, Hinata wouldn’t care too much about how Naruto was; after all, she was used to Naruto acting crazy from time to time, but this time it was truly a bit outrageous.
After all, although Naruto wasn’t good at dressing before, after being with Sasuke for so long, he had learned a thing or two.
Even if he wasn’t as handsome as Sasuke, he was definitely an 85-point handsome guy overall.
But today’s outfit dropped him from 85 to 50 points, plus the deliberately created silliness, which completely crashed Hinata’s brain; that moment just now was purely subconscious behavior.
By the time Hinata came to her senses, Naruto was already emo.
Sasuke watched all this from afar, feeling refreshed, thinking the kid deserved it.
What Naruto couldn’t stand the most was the fox in his stomach; the Nine-Tailed was laughing so hard it rolled on the ground, its round body rolling around like a ball.
The others in the class laughed even louder until Iruka arrived and things quieted down.
Iruka looked at the yellow blob on the table and couldn’t help but twitch his mouth, but his professionalism as a teacher kept him from laughing on the spot, and he began to announce the team assignments.
When she heard she wasn’t in a group with Naruto, Hinata felt a bit disappointed; she reached out her little hand and silently held the back of Naruto’s hand.
Naruto had recovered by now; he turned his wrist and held Hinata’s soft little hand, though he remained lying on the table.
After the assignments were finished, Iruka said a brief goodbye to all the students and left the classroom with his notebook.
Then, the team leaders appeared one by one and took their students away.
Until only the three members of Team 7 remained.
Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura were sitting in their spots, dazed; Sasuke looked out the window, Sakura looked at Sasuke, and Naruto looked at the ceiling.
Kakashi was hiding in the shadows observing the three, but as he watched, time began to slip away.
“Ahhh!
Too slow!
What is the deal with this teacher?” Sakura couldn’t take it anymore; yesterday she thought Naruto’s suggestion was a bit bad, but now it seemed Naruto was still too gentle!
“Indeed, how about we prank him?” Naruto took the blackboard eraser from the classroom, went to the door, and wedged it into the door gap.
“Super idiot, the team leader is a Jonin; how could he possibly fall for this trick?” Sasuke looked at Naruto, speechless.
“He fell for it!”
“Nani??”
Looking at the white-haired masked man with the eraser on his head, Sasuke and Sakura were in disbelief.
Was this guy really a Jonin?
He couldn’t even dodge such a simple prank?
Only Naruto knew that this person was doing it on purpose, so that he could feel justified when pranking the three of them later.
“Hmm, how should I put it?
My first impression of you guys is, quite annoying.” Kakashi stroked his chin, thought carefully for two seconds, and reached a conclusion.
Looking at this white-haired Jonin who was so late and was still here expressing his thoughts, completely lacking any self-awareness of being a latecomer, Sasuke and Sakura both unconsciously thought in their hearts: ‘Yeah, the feeling is mutual.’
