Today, Naruto wasn't playing with his friends; instead, he was sleeping with his head on the desk.
Just as Naruto was sleeping soundly, Sasuke, looking a bit hesitant, approached him.
Hearing the movement nearby, Naruto opened his eyes in confusion and asked, "Sasuke? What are you doing?"
"Uh..." Sasuke seemed a bit shy, then, as if having made up his mind, he said, "Naruto, I heard you can help my clansmen awaken their Sharingan."
Naruto immediately understood what was going on when he heard that.
"Oh? You want to awaken your Sharingan too, huh?"
"Mmm-hmm..." Sasuke nodded enthusiastically.
Sasuke had always had a worry: his father constantly compared him to his older brother.
Originally, Sasuke didn't mind; after all, his brother was so strong that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't catch up!
But... for some reason, his brother had been hiding in his room for the past few days, not playing with him or teaching him how to throw shuriken.
In Sasuke's opinion, it must be because he was too clumsy, unable to learn no matter what, which was why he was being neglected.
So... after hearing that Naruto had a way to help awaken the Sharingan, Sasuke decided to seek him out.
Naruto didn't know Sasuke's thoughts; if he did, he would definitely say, "Your brother isn't ignoring you because you're clumsy; he's just immersed in a red ocean and can't pull himself out!"
"How about it? Naruto, if you help me awaken my Sharingan, I can grant you one condition..."
Sasuke had to make a huge decision to say something like that.
However, in his opinion, as long as he could make his brother look at him with new eyes, this small sacrifice was very necessary.
Besides, what kind of outrageous request could a six-year-old brat like Naruto make? At most, it would be a snack or a bowl of ramen.
Hearing Sasuke say he could grant him a condition, Naruto's eyes immediately lit up, and his expression turned serious as he said, "Sasuke, are you really prepared? Awakening the Sharingan is not a simple matter!"
Seeing Naruto's serious expression, Sasuke nodded and said, "I'm already prepared!"
"Good, after school this afternoon, come with me to the forest where I train!"
Hearing that he could help him awaken his Sharingan today, Sasuke's eyes also lit up; he hadn't expected Naruto to be so accommodating.
Time quickly came to after school in the afternoon.
Naruto walked ahead with his backpack, while Sasuke excitedly followed behind him.
Upon arriving at the forest, Naruto didn't use the Shadow Clone Jutsu to call out Kurapika to guide him in Nen training.
Instead, he focused his gaze on Sasuke.
"Come on, Sasuke, since you've made up your mind, put on the girl's clothes!"
Sasuke, who had initially been excited, was stunned when he heard Naruto's words.
Before he could react, Naruto pulled out a set of girl's clothes and an instant camera from his spatial backpack.
Seeing Sasuke's incredulous look, Naruto held up the girl's clothes and camera and said, "Wearing girl's clothes is the proper attitude when asking for help, and it's also the most basic politeness and respect!"
Hearing Naruto's illogical words, Sasuke looked utterly shocked.
"I've never heard that you have to wear girl's clothes to ask for help... you bastard!"
"Also... what do you mean by holding that camera?"
Naruto shrugged when he heard that and said, "You said before that if I help you awaken your Sharingan, you'd grant me a request! As for the camera... you don't need to worry about that, it's just to record beautiful moments!"
Sasuke: ...
"My head can be cut off, my blood can flow, but I will never let you succeed with a request like that!"
"Oh? It looks like you don't want to awaken your Sharingan anymore..."
With that, Naruto put away the girl's clothes and camera, then turned to leave.
At the same time.
In the Sealing Space.
Kushina Uzumaki, seeing that Naruto was just letting Sasuke off the hook, waved her fists in annoyance.
"Naruto... you should have forced Sasuke to put them on!"
"Why are you just leaving!"
Minato Namikaze, beside her, was quite speechless at Kushina Uzumaki's words.
"Uh... Kushina, Sasuke is Mikoto's son, and he's also your nephew, so this isn't very good!"
"After all... he's only six years old; putting on girl's clothes and such would affect his psychology—"
Before Minato Namikaze could finish his reasoning, Kushina Uzumaki interrupted directly, "It's precisely because he's only six! If he were sixteen, how could we make him put on girl's clothes?"
"Hokage, haven't you seen? A sixteen-year-old Sasuke would be much harder to deal with..."
Minato Namikaze: ...
Minato Namikaze felt somewhat powerless to refute Kushina Uzumaki's words.
Our attention returns to Sasuke.
Seeing that Naruto was really just leaving, Sasuke struggled internally.
As Naruto's back was about to disappear, the struggling Sasuke finally made up his mind.
"It's just wearing girl's clothes once, anyway..."
Thinking this, Sasuke shouted at Naruto's retreating back, "I agree! I'll wear girl's clothes!"
A smile appeared on Naruto's lips as he was about to leave.
"I knew you'd agree!"
As he spoke, Naruto once again pulled out the girl's clothes and camera.
He threw the girl's clothes to Sasuke, telling him to change, while Naruto began taking photos from multiple angles.
Soon, photos were spitting out of the instant camera one after another.
"Very good, it's that helpless look! Sasuke, your camera presence is really strong!"
"Keep it up, mm-hmm... and this final expression of numbness and resignation, it really shows the transformation of the character's personality..."
Listening to Naruto's words and the constant click of the camera shutter, Sasuke shed tears of humiliation.
At the same time, he swore internally, "Once I awaken my Sharingan, I'll definitely make Naruto pay..."
"Mm-hmm... that's enough."
Naruto said with a smile, waving the photos in his hand.
Upon hearing this, Sasuke immediately took off the girl's clothes and then tore them to shreds on the spot.
He swore that this would be the only time in his life...
"Alright... Naruto, it's time to help me awaken my Sharingan, right?"
Sasuke hadn't forgotten the ultimate goal of his cross-dressing.
"Mm! It's time."
As he spoke, Naruto took out a virtual helmet.
Seeing the virtual helmet Naruto produced, the previously angry Sasuke suddenly became excited again.
He had heard from the villagers that Naruto used a helmet to help his clansmen awaken their Sharingan.
"Alright... put it on! First, do two sets of questions; ninety points is a passing grade. Once you pass, I'll awaken your Sharingan."
Sasuke: ...
Hearing that he had to do questions, Sasuke was first stunned, then immediately felt like he had been tricked.
"Are you messing with me?! I already wore girl's clothes, why do I still have to do questions?"
"Wearing girl's clothes is wearing girl's clothes, and doing questions is doing questions; the two don't conflict!"
"Besides, everyone who awakens the Mangekyo has to do questions and pass..."
Naruto's words made Sasuke very angry.
He took a deep breath, then put the helmet on his head, entered the virtual space, and began to do the questions.
