[Finally.]
[Sakura still couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food.]
[She only stopped after eating her fill.]
[As for Kakashi's warning yesterday, it had long been thrown into a corner.]
[As for losing weight... it wasn't that she lacked determination!]
[It was Naruto who said that a figure gained at the expense of health wouldn't last long.]
[It's better to sweat more during training to achieve both health and a good figure.]
Kurotsuchi: "Indeed."
Mei Terumī: "That's true."
Samui: "A great idea."
But in the face of talent... unless one has mastered the Strength of a Hundred Seal.
The Strength of a Hundred Seal is slightly different from the Yin Seal.
The creator of the Yin Seal was Uzumaki Mito, the wife of the First Hokage.
And the Strength of a Hundred Seal was developed by Tsunade based on the original Yin Seal.
Of course, it is essentially still the Yin Seal, but with the added effect of eternal youth.
To change from flat-chested to outstanding like Tsunade.
Requires some further study.
[Here.]
[At Naruto's house, the rookie 9 were chatting and laughing while eating breakfast.]
[On the other side.]
[Konoha, outside Training Ground Seven.]
[A figure walked out of the thick fog.]
[His hands were in his pockets, his face cold.]
[When he reached the entrance of Training Ground Seven, his expression became even uglier.]
[After waiting for a moment.]
[He frowned.]
["Hmph!"]
["You two had better not hold me back."]
[With that, Sasuke looked at the empty street ahead.]
[He turned his head and entered Training Ground Seven.]
[He had arrived very early.]
[And he hadn't eaten anything yet.]
[Now, seeing that Naruto and Sakura hadn't arrived yet, he was even more displeased.]
[He naturally remembered Kakashi's 'warning' from yesterday.]
[So, he thought Naruto and Sakura would also do the same.]
[Like him, they would arrive at Training Ground Seven early, and then, before the assessment began, survey the terrain of Training Ground Seven.]
[A Ninja who doesn't collect information in advance is not a good Ninja.]
Uchiha Sasuke: "Damn it!"
Uchiha Fugaku: Alas... it turns out only Sasuke fell for it.
Uchiha Sasuke: "No, Dad, in our world, Naruto and Sakura also fell for it!"
Sakura Haruno: "It's all Kakashi-sensei's fault!"
Kakashi Hatake: "This is also part of the assessment itself."
Might Guy: "Is... that so?"
Might Guy: "How come I don't remember any of this?"
Uzumaki Kushina: "How dare you say that? Kakashi, when did you learn such insidious tricks, and have the audacity to call them secret Jutsu?"
Minato Namikaze: I'll give you a Thousand Years of Death.
Minato Namikaze: The Flying Thunder God version.
Kakashi Hatake: "I'm sorry, I was wrong."
Senju Tobirama: "Hey, hey, hey, Minato!"
Senju Tobirama: "Don't use the Ninjutsu I developed to do such strange things!"
["Oh, right."]
["Naruto-kun, do you think Sasuke hasn't had breakfast yet?"]
[Sakura, resting on the sofa, suddenly thought of the other member of Team 7.]
[Upon hearing this.]
[Naruto's mind conjured the face that always made him want to punch it.]
["Perhaps."]
["Kakashi-sensei's words carried a strong psychological suggestion."]
["I'm afraid that's also one of the contents of this so-called assessment."]
["I see." Sakura nodded, it seemed she hadn't guessed wrong.]
["Then should we... huh?"]
["Well, no matter what, we're in the same class from now on."]
[Naruto nodded slightly, then also packed a breakfast for Sasuke.]
[the rookie 9 left one after another; they also had assessments today.]
[Before leaving, Naruto specifically reminded Hinata to hold back her strength.]
[Then he made an appointment with the others to meet after the assessment.]
[They had discussed it before, and it was perfect, as after today's assessment, they would truly become Ninja, so they naturally had to celebrate properly.]
[It was originally supposed to be yesterday, but due to Kakashi's deliberate lateness, it was postponed to today.]
[Soon, the clock on the wall showed around nine o'clock.]
[Naruto felt it was about time, so he called Sakura, who was meditating nearby.]
["So early?"]
[It was only nine o'clock now, and the assessment time was eleven-thirty.]
[Even if they needed to collect information in advance, they didn't need to do it two and a half hours early, right?]
[Training Ground Seven wasn't that big; they could finish collecting information in less than ten minutes.]
[As for setting traps in advance, that was most likely not allowed.]
["Did you forget our teammate?"]
[Naruto lightly tapped Sakura's head; she was holding his arm.]
["Oh, right, I almost forgot Sasuke might still be hungry."]
[Sakura paused, then stuck out her tongue, a little embarrassed.]
[If she hadn't come to find Naruto, she probably would still be sitting outside Training Ground Seven, hungry.]
[Not long after.]
[Naruto and Sakura saw Sasuke from afar, sitting under a big tree outside the entrance of Training Ground Seven.]
[He leaned against the tree, arms crossed, eyes closed.]
[Feeling something.]
[Sasuke suddenly opened his eyes.]
[He looked at the two 'latecomers.']
["Sasuke, you..."]
["Hmph!"]
[Before Sakura could finish her sentence, Sasuke snorted coldly.]
["As Ninja, you don't even know to collect information in advance."]
[Saying this, Sasuke looked at Naruto.]
["Don't hold me back!"]
[Huh???]
[Sakura's eye twitched. Looking at Sasuke's cold and somewhat arrogant face, her fists clenched.]
[However.]
[Soon, the tense atmosphere, which Sasuke had somewhat created, disappeared.]
[Grrr—]
[Silence.]
[Sasuke was also stunned by the 'protest' from his stomach.]
[How could it be such a coincidence...]
[Damn it!]
[Suddenly.]
[Sasuke's nose twitched, and an unfamiliar aroma wafted towards him.]
[His gaze unconsciously fell on the bento in Naruto's hand.]
[Grrr—]
[The scariest thing is when the air suddenly becomes quiet~]
In the Pure Land World.
Kushina was holding her stomach, laughing loudly.
Izuna also chuckled, covering her mouth.
Uchiha Mikoto shook her head helplessly.
At the same time, in the chat room.
Inuzuka Kiba was also mocking Sasuke.
Sasuke's face turned crimson with anger.
Exactly like him on the black-framed large screen.
[Sasuke, his face red, glimpsed Sakura's expression, which, after an initial surprise, was struggling to suppress laughter.]
[This made him even more humiliated and angry.]
["Hmph!"]
[Another cold snort, and he turned his head away.]
["Want some?"]
[At this moment, Naruto handed over the bento.]
[Sasuke's nose twitched uncontrollably, inhaling the rich aroma.]
[(╯▽╰) So fragrant~~]
[No! I can't!]
["I don't need it!"]
["Also, Kakashi said, if you eat it, you'll just throw it up!"]
[In his humiliation and anger, Sasuke lost his composure.]
[In reality, collecting information on Training Ground Seven only took seven minutes.]
[After that, Sasuke had been waiting idly.]
[He had already sensed that something was amiss.]
[However, seeing the 'late' Naruto, he was unwilling to admit that he seemed to have been misled by Kakashi's words, which was why his words were so sharp.]
[Unfortunately.]
[Sasuke's last bit of dignity couldn't be preserved.]
[The aroma from the bento made his mouth water.]
[Grrr—]
[His stomach protested once more.]
["If you don't eat it, I'll..."]
[Give it to me!]
[Sasuke snatched the bento.]
[He opened the bento and couldn't take his eyes off it.]
["Less nonsense!"]
["If we're going to fight together, I don't want to be held back by you!"]
["I'll tell you my proposed battle plan!"]
["Also, I'm not eating your food for free!"]
["I'll pay for it!"]
[Under their gazes, Sasuke was somewhat reserved at first.]
[But after one bite, all his cool demeanor and persona crumbled.]
[A moment later.]
[Sasuke wiped the corners of his mouth, still wanting more.]
["Thanks."]
[See? His true nature hadn't changed after all, just as tsundere as the Great Fox.]
["Alright, next, let's talk about this outdoor survival exercise."]
["This is the information I've collected. Take a look, then go into the training ground yourself to familiarize yourselves."]
