Outside, Sasuke felt the power surging within his body and stared in shock at Naruto, who was dazed beside him.
At this moment, his body felt better than it ever had; his stamina and Chakra were fully restored, and the injuries he had sustained from training were being healed by this surge of Chakra.
“W-what is this?”
“Oh, don’t worry about that.
Get up and continue training now.” Hearing Sasuke’s words, Naruto hurriedly exited the Sealing Space, replied, and resumed his own training.
However, Sasuke was still in a state of shock and had no intention of moving.
Seeing this, Naruto spoke up again.
“The amount of this stuff is limited.
If you waste it, I won’t give you any next time.”
“Huh?
Oh, right, thank you.” Hearing this, Sasuke finally snapped out of it and hurriedly began to continue his cultivation.
The Third Hokage watched the scene in the crystal ball with a complex expression.
It was one thing for this kid to train his Taijutsu like a monster, but now he was dragging someone else along with him—an Uchiha, no less.
It gave the Third Hokage a headache just watching.
He had seen Naruto pull this trick before; he had used it on Gekkō Hayate once, and the Third Hokage had called them both to his office to question them.
Naruto claimed it was a trade he made with the Nine-Tailed.
The Third Hokage had issued a gag order to Gekkō Hayate and instructed Naruto not to use it recklessly in the future, to which Naruto had agreed readily.
Yet now he was using it on someone else again.
The Third Hokage rubbed his brow and sighed.
He truly couldn’t control this child; he might as well dump him on Jiraiya later.
As for why Naruto could use the Gold Body Mode, it started back when he was washing dishes and complained to the Nine-Tailed that his body was too small to lift such large plates.
The Nine-Tailed simply fist-bumped him, and as a result, he could activate the Gold Body, though it was limited to use within the Sealing Space.
The fox’s Chakra was still controlled by the fox itself.
With the Sealing Space in place, its Chakra could only be transferred little by little, which was why Naruto couldn’t activate the Gold Body outside.
As for the Chakra Cloak Mode, the control over that actually belonged to the fox, not Naruto.
Although Naruto could use it, he had to endure the negative emotions that came with the fox’s Chakra first.
Therefore, unless he played a game of Chakra tug-of-war with the fox, he could only truly use the Gold Body Mode in the outside world by breaking the seal.
As for absorbing the fox’s Chakra, that was just the fox being a tsundere.
It said it wouldn’t give any, but in reality, it rarely truly refused Naruto’s requests.
It was just that the fox cared about its pride, so Naruto always used this method to give the fox a way to save face.
After all, this way, it became a situation of “you snatched it,” not “I gave it to you.”
The fox watched Naruto leave the Sealing Space, curled its lip, and leaned back against the wall.
It grabbed a pile of salmon, dipped it in a bit of soy sauce, then added a huge glob of wasabi, and shoved it straight into its mouth, making Naruto’s clone feel a tingling sensation on his scalp.
Heaven knows why this fox liked eating wasabi.
Every time it ate it, its face would contort, and then it would roar, “Refreshing!” Naruto couldn’t understand where the pleasure was in that at all.
This once made him wonder if the fox had some peculiar fetish.
Iruka immediately felt immense pressure, while Sasuke was dismissive of this kind of game.
Well, the sky cleared, the rain stopped, and Sasuke felt like he could do it again.
Therefore, the result was self-evident: Sasuke was caught red-handed in less than three minutes, which left him astonished and also caused him to truly begin taking this behavior he had deemed childish seriously.
Evasion and pursuit were also things a Ninja had to learn, which was one of the reasons why Iruka didn’t reject the proposal.
But it was too late to take it seriously now.
He could only watch helplessly as Naruto strode away, while he himself had to sit miserably in the classroom, listening to those theory lessons that now made him drowsy.
In the following days, Sasuke began to ask Naruto for advice on how to evade Iruka’s capture.
Naruto didn’t hold anything back, and Sasuke lived up to his name as a genius.
On the seventh day, he finally escaped the school.
Afterward, Sasuke was only caught a few times when he was careless, and Naruto was also caught once because he tried to save Sasuke.
Looking at the smug Iruka on the podium, the students all cast admiring glances at him, which Iruka enjoyed very much.
Sasuke, meanwhile, felt uncomfortable under Naruto’s resentful gaze and could only turn his head away, refusing to look at Naruto.
But since things had come to this, Naruto could only honestly attend class in the classroom, while secretly resolving that if Sasuke got caught next time, he would be a dog if he saved him again.
Days passed like this for a year.
During this period, Kiba, Shikamaru, and Choji also joined the game, though those three were purely bored, and they hadn’t managed to escape even once.
Shikamaru didn’t actually want to participate; he was purely accompanying Choji, while Choji had been egged on by Kiba, and Kiba just thought it was fun.
And today, Hinata finally mustered up the courage and planned to join in.
This gave Naruto quite a shock.
One had to know that the Hyuga Clan’s family rules were very strict; logically speaking, it should have been impossible for Hinata to engage in such behavior.
“Hinata-chan, why did you think about joining us?” Naruto, who was eating, looked at Hinata and asked, somewhat puzzled.
“I…
I also want to become stronger.
I…
I don’t want to be left behind by Naruto-kun.” Hinata took several deep breaths before stuttering out her reply.
She didn’t mention the real reason, which was mainly because she had been easily defeated by Neji a couple of days ago, which had left her feeling very hurt.
She knew the effects of the meals Naruto made for her every day better than anyone.
No matter how much of a genius Neji was, she had been eating these magical dishes for two whole years and was still defeated so easily; she felt she had let down Naruto’s efforts for her.
In her view, since Naruto gave her this magical food every day, his expectations for her must be high, yet she hadn’t made any progress.
Even though she was uncompetitive, she felt extremely bad inside.
But she didn’t know that Naruto hadn’t thought of anything at all; he just simply wanted to feed her.
As for why it was this special food?
Well, that goes without saying!
Anyone who has watched Naruto knows Hinata’s appetite, and he, Uzumaki Naruto, was dirt poor.
Although the old man Third Hokage gave him plenty of pocket money, he saved it all—but wasn’t that for marrying a wife in the future?
Why would he buy ingredients to cook and feed Hinata when he had free ingredients from the system?
Wouldn’t that be stupid?
Hearing Hinata’s words, Naruto was a bit surprised, but then he felt relieved.
Moreover, Hinata’s talent was also very good; she created the Protection of the Eight Trigrams herself, and based on the Hyuga Clan’s high-end Taijutsu, she developed the Gentle Fist: Twin Lion Fists.
“Sure, then let me tell you, Hinata-chan, about how to evade Iruka-sensei’s capture.”
Naruto was enthusiastically passing on his experience to Hinata, while Sasuke ate silently on the side.
It looked quiet and peaceful, but in reality…
“I say, Iruka, do we really have to do this?” A teacher looked at Iruka, who was facing the enemy as if it were a life-and-death battle, and asked with some hesitation.
“Yes, this order came from Hokage-sama.
Besides, the young lady of the Hyuga Clan is joining this time, and Hokage-sama has ordered us to capture everyone without fail.” Iruka nodded, his face full of seriousness.
“That little girl from the Hyuga Clan is joining too?” Another female teacher exclaimed.
“Yes, that’s also why Hokage-sama called me over.
After all, if this little girl really skipped school, it wouldn’t be easy to explain to the Hyuga Clan.”
“Heh, these brats really know how to cause trouble.
But Iruka, you’re something else, actually playing along with them for two years.”
“Don’t underestimate those two little guys; they have many tricks up their sleeves.
If you’re not careful, you’ll take a tumble.”
As they talked in the office, they didn’t notice that inside the floorboards beneath their feet, a figure was using a stethoscope pressed against the floor, eavesdropping on their conversation.
“By the way, how long until it starts?” A male teacher asked, rubbing his hands together in excitement.
A female teacher looked at the wall clock and then replied.
“Ten minutes.”
On the other side, Naruto had just picked up a mouthful of food and was about to put it in his mouth when his hand suddenly paused, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
“What’s wrong?” Sasuke had already finished eating and, seeing Naruto’s expression, couldn’t help but ask.
“Heh, the old man Third Hokage is being unsportsmanlike.” Naruto put down his chopsticks and said with a smile.
“What do you mean?” Sasuke frowned and asked.
“My Shadow Clone just sent word that Iruka-sensei has teamed up with other teachers at the school to catch us together.” Naruto rubbed his chin, thinking as he spoke.
“Ah, this…
is it because of me?” Hinata was also shocked by the news.
She stopped eating and looked at Naruto with some concern.
Sasuke also looked over with a grave expression.
“Small problem.
They can call for help, can’t we?
Let’s go, follow me to the classroom.”
Saying this, Naruto led the two of them toward the classroom.
Soon, ten minutes passed.
Some of the teachers in the office disappeared directly, while others stretched their bodies, slowly opened the office door, and walked into the school.
A chase between teachers and students officially began.
