"this..."
Looking at the scene on the black-framed large screen.
Asuma smiled bitterly.
Why do I feel like I'm disliked by some people?
[Outside the sixth training ground.]
[ Team 10 has just been released.]
[It just so happens that Team 7, who also just finished their assessment, is also here.]
[Not long ago.]
[ Team 7. ]
[As Sakura finished speaking.]
Sasuke's face turned red.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "I... Naruto!"
[ Naruto turned around, a signature gentle smile on his face.]
["What's wrong?"]
["I…I…"]
[" Naruto, please, I want to become stronger..."]
[Those few words seemed to have exhausted all of Sasuke's strength. ]
[After he finished speaking, I felt a great weight lifted off my shoulders.]
Even though he was rejected, Sasuke accepted it.
"Aren't we in the same class?"
[ Naruto chuckled and replied to Dao.]
[ Sasuke is stunned. ]
[Are they in the same class?]
[Do you mean before graduation...or after graduation?]
[Never mind!]
[Anyway, Naruto didn't reject me, that's good enough!]
[ Sasuke's face lit up with joy.]
[To know Dao.]
[In his view, the so-called Naruto Gang was nothing more than a game of Ninja Clan kids playing Ninja house.]
[ Sasuke also spent some time with them as a child.]
[There has indeed been an improvement.]
[However, after Clan Massacre Night.]
[ Sasuke, however, did not want to continue cultivating in that harmonious environment.]
[Those people aren't burdened with anything; following them will make it difficult to progress quickly.]
[Although Sasuke never managed to face Naruto in any of the live-fire exercises.]
[But Sasuke didn't think he made the wrong choice.]
Unfortunately, the facts speak for themselves.
[Even Sakura Haruno, whom he once wouldn't have given a second glance, unleashed a power that moved Kakashi.]
Looking back at myself... it seems I've oversimplified everything.
[This understanding of power is too superficial.]
[Noticing Sasuke's emotions.]
Naruto shook his head.
[ Dao: " Sasuke, didn't you notice?"]
["What?"]
Sasuke, who was initially somewhat pleased that Naruto hadn't rejected him, felt a pang of unease upon hearing Naruto's question.
[But he had already decided that even if he suffered humiliation, he would shamelessly continue!]
[Otherwise, relying solely on that unreliable Jōnin Instructor, when will I ever get ahead? When will I ever get my revenge?]
"It's okay, it's normal that no one noticed."
[" Uchiha..."]
[Looking at Sasuke, Naruto thought for a moment.]
[He still didn't directly tell him what he knew about Uchiha.]
[Let's wait until Sasuke has matured further and become more composed before making a decision.]
[With Team Guy already in the mix, and future successors from various Ninja Clans already established, there's more to the mix.]
[ Naruto already knew that Dao, after becoming Ninja, would perform some of the lowest-level tasks for a long time.]
[ Naruto seems to agree with this.]
[After all, they had just become Ninja, and were all hot-blooded young men with high aspirations. ]
[If one were to directly undertake a dangerous mission, there's a very high chance of an accident occurring.]
[Start with some low-level tasks to refine Heart-Nature.]
[ Everyone in the Naruto Gang needs this experience too.]
[Even with Naruto's help, they managed to plunder for so many years.]
[His strength is far beyond that of ordinary Genin, and even Chunin would find it difficult to match.]
[However, Naruto wouldn't dare say there are absolutely no issues with Heart-Nature.]
[Of course, it's not a big problem.]
[If we're talking about who needs this kind of task the most this time around, it's definitely Sasuke.]
Uchiha Sasuke: "Our world is Naruto."
Uzumaki Naruto: "That's certainly true."
Uchiha Sasuke: "????"
You should refute this!
Damn it... why does this mere dead last feel so unfamiliar?
No way?!
Naruto didn't even turn his head.
Sasuke suddenly had a bad feeling.
hateful!
He clenched his fists.
Want to be like Black Frame World?
Surpass me?
Don't even think about it!
"Hurry up, hurry up!"
[ Choji urges Ino and Shikamaru. ]
["Yes, yes, really, you're always the most enthusiastic at times like this." Ino quickened her pace.]
["This is troublesome... Choji, how much did you prepare this time?"]
Seeing this, Shikamaru had no choice but to silently increase her speed.
"Hmph!"
"I stole one of my dad's most treasured possessions!"
Choji looked incredibly proud.
[ Ino, Shikamaru: "..."]
"Huh?"
"Darling~"
Suddenly, Ino saw Naruto walking towards him.
[He then became even more proactive than Choji.]
[He pounced directly at it.]
"Yo~"
" Sasuke, it's been a long time."
[ Shikamaru and Choji were already used to it.]
[I did notice Sasuke following behind Naruto.]
[It looks like things are about to return to the Naruto Gang style.]
[So, five years later, Shikamaru greeted Sasuke again.]
Sasuke instinctively wanted to ignore it.
[But after thinking about it, he still nodded to Shikamaru.]
Shikamaru shrugged, not surprised by Sasuke's attitude.
"I'm leaving you guys behind, I'm going to get ready!"
Choji stamped his feet, somewhat impatiently.
"Seriously, wait for us!"
Shikamaru shook her head helplessly.
"We'll head over now, Naruto."
"Okay, thank you all. " Naruto smiled.
[ Shikamaru waved her hand, then glanced at Ino: "Mind your image."]
[Having said that, he turned and chased after Choji.]
Seeing this, Sasuke unconsciously swallowed.
[After five years, I had Naruto's cooking again this morning.]
His appetite was reignited, and he couldn't stop himself.
[It's definitely not good to go back empty-handed.]
Fortunately, Sasuke still had a considerable amount of money.
"I'll go buy some groceries first."
[With that, without waiting for Naruto's reply, he immediately followed Shikamaru and Choji.]
[Inside Exercise Field No. 8.]
[ Kurenai Yuhi wipes the sweat from his brow.]
[He looked at his future subordinate with a beaming smile.]
[Having just become a Jonin, she hadn't even settled in when she was assigned to Team Eight as a Jonin Instructor.]
It would be a lie to say I didn't have doubts.
[Besides, I had a long talk with Anko and Yūgao that night.]
[I've come to understand many things now.]
[ Kurenai Yuhi naturally felt displeased.]
[Especially that night, Yūgao analyzed it, and Anko embellished it.]
[Even Gekkō Hayate was used as an example.]
[then...]
[ Asuma has completely lost hope.]
[After years of relentless pursuit, Kurenai Yuhi was starting to lose heart.]
However, now...
"Very good, congratulations, you have successfully passed the assessment."
[ Kurenai Yuhi chuckled and said, "Dao."]
" Hinata performed the best."
"If it weren't for your information, I would even doubt that you were recent graduates of Genin."
[ Kurenai Yuhi is under a lot of pressure; it's no wonder he's nervous facing such outstanding subordinates.]
[Furthermore, Team Eight's abilities are all quite obvious...]
[She specializes in illusion magic, so her teaching abilities are very limited. To be precise, she's simply not suited to be Team Eight's Jōnin Instructor.]
[The more Kurenai Yuhi thought about it, the more suffocated she felt.]
[Discontent is growing increasingly severe.]
[After all, his father died protecting Konoha, and back then, he was quite powerful and influential.]
[In the end, they were still outmaneuvered.]
[ The changes in Kurenai Yuhi are so significant, Yūgao must have contributed a great deal.]
[Hmm...and there's also Anko Mitarashi, who's completely unaware but has been playing support all along.]
[Best friends, of course, should be on the same side and always together.]
