The virtual helmet experience center and internet cafes have all gotten on track.
Naruto, who had nothing to do, resumed his routine of going to school, training, and teasing Hinata.
He didn't come to school today, but as soon as he entered, he heard many students discussing interesting things in the virtual game.
"Did you hear? Yesterday, the Will of Fire Ninja Village snatched another wild BOSS. Now, the Will of Fire Ninja Village seems to be the strongest guild in the entire Ninja Zone."
"Don't be silly! Root Ninja Village is the strongest, okay?"
"The Will of Fire Ninja Village was established by the Third Hokage-sama, so of course, the will of fire is the strongest!"
"Hmph! Root Ninja Village was established by Danzo-sama!"
Listening to the two argue, Ino Yamanaka came to Shikamaru's side and asked, "Shikamaru, what do you think?"
"Huh?" Shikamaru opened his somewhat sleepy eyes and asked, "What do you mean, 'what do I think'? Of course, I'm sitting and watching."
"Why are you still so lazy? Don't you think our Ino–Shika–Chō guild could also contend for the position of the strongest guild?"
Shikamaru: ...
"Hey, Ino, you're not serious, are you?"
As he spoke, Shikamaru pointed to himself and said, "Our Nara clan, in the virtual game, are basically experiencing life, looking for comfortable and leisurely places to zone out and play chess."
Then he pointed to Choji, who was eating potato chips, and continued, "The Akimichi clan have always pursued gourmet food in the virtual world."
Finally, he turned his gaze to Ino. "As for your Yamanaka clan, aren't you also cultivating new flower species in the virtual world?"
Ino: ...
After Shikamaru's explanation, Ino suddenly felt that their three clans were quite useless.
The truth was just as Shikamaru said; the people of the Ino–Shika–Chō guild were basically playing sub-professions. Things like snatching wild BOSSes or guild wars, they rarely participated in.
However, there were a few wild BOSSes that were exclusive to Ino–Shika–Chō, or more accurately, no one bothered to compete with them for them.
One was the Angler. After defeating it, one would acquire the Angler sub-profession.
Now, almost everyone in the Nara clan was an Angler.
Nara Shikamaru was also like this. Every day after school, he would enter the virtual world, find a sunny riverbank, lie down, and cast his fishing rod. It was as leisurely as could be.
Besides the Angler, there were also multiple wild BOSSes that could drop useless sub-professions, such as the Hundred Flower Dancer, Flame Pig, and Big Cleaver.
Naruto listened to his classmates' discussions in class, recalling his previous life, when DNF first became popular. At that time, almost every student with a computer was playing it, and at school, all they talked about was the game.
Just as Naruto walked into the classroom, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Just as Naruto was about to greet Hinata, Sasuke pulled him aside.
"Hey, Naruto, I've finished reading all the books and theories on red ideology! Can I take the test again?"
Hearing Sasuke's words, Naruto looked surprised. "You really learned it?"
"Of course!" Sasuke proudly lifted his chin.
"Then let me test you. Question: There is a nobleman, a farmer, and a Ninja. How would you rank their social status?"
Hearing Naruto's question, Sasuke answered without hesitation, "That's not simple? Of course, it's nobleman, Ninja, farmer."
Hearing Sasuke's answer, Naruto shook his head and said, "No! You still failed."
After speaking, Naruto ignored Sasuke and sat next to Hinata.
"Hey, Naruto, explain yourself! Where did I go wrong?"
Sasuke came to Naruto's desk, hands propped on it, and asked, clearly annoyed.
"Did you really read all those books Itachi gave you?"
"I..." Hearing Naruto's words, Sasuke was somewhat speechless.
Initially, he did read them, and he could understand all the words in the book, but for him to truly comprehend them... that was a bit difficult for him.
Plus, with the launch of the virtual helmet, Sasuke had even less desire to study seriously.
So, his reading was completely superficial, absorbing no nourishment at all.
Seeing Sasuke speechless, Naruto shrugged and said, "I think you should wait for your brother to come back and teach you properly! Your brain isn't quite there yet!"
"Hmph," Sasuke snorted at his words and angrily returned to his seat.
He had already decided that since he couldn't understand the knowledge in those books himself, he would let someone who could understand teach him.
Sasuke, of course, wasn't thinking of Uchiha Itachi, but rather his father, Uchiha Fugaku, and his mother, Uchiha Mikoto.
Naruto sat next to Hinata and began chatting with her.
Hinata was still very shy; basically, Naruto would ask a question, and she would answer. If Naruto got too close, her little face would immediately turn red.
Kushina, in the Sealing Space, watched everything, clenched her fists, and shouted, "Naruto, don't be a coward, kiss her! If you keep kissing her, she won't be shy anymore."
Minato Namikaze: ...
"Kushina, isn't that a bit much? Naruto and Hinata are not even ten years old yet!"
Hearing Minato Namikaze's words, Kushina gave him a glare and said, "Minato, don't forget how old you were when you first courted me... all those princess carries and head pats..."
Minato Namikaze: ...
"But... but that was you. You're not Hinata..."
Kushina's words immediately made Minato Namikaze blush furiously.
Grey Wolf and Kurama, who were watching the show from the side, also started to egg them on.
Because the Sealing Space was usually too noisy, either Kurama was using his 'Zaun' talk to relentlessly insult his teammates and opponents.
Or it was Grey Wolf, who had too much to drink, occasionally howling, "Wife, Xiao Hui Hui, don't worry, I'll be able to bring you over soon..."
And also, Minato Namikaze was learning Haki from Zephyr and Nen Ability from Kurapika.
So... to avoid being disturbed, Naruto usually blocked out the noise from the Sealing Space.
If there was an emergency, the people in the Sealing Space could call Naruto to contact him, which was very convenient.
Just as Naruto was chatting with Hinata, their homeroom teacher Iruka finally walked into the classroom.
Iruka's appearance immediately silenced the classroom.
"Oh? Naruto, you're here."
Iruka, who had entered the classroom, immediately locked his gaze on Naruto and said, "Come to my Office after class. I have something to tell you!"
Naruto nodded in response and gave an OK gesture.
Seeing Naruto nod, Iruka began today's lesson.
"Today we will be talking about..."
