Chapter 147
Uchiha Fugaku nodded slightly, finding Narutomore and more pleasing to the eye.
A child like him, together with Sako, would absolutely be no problem.
In a much better mood, the gloom that had accumulated for many days vanished, and he burst out laughing.
"Naruto, if you're free, how about staying for lunch?"
Naruto: "That would be great!"
Mikoto stood up, smiling as she went to prepare lunch.
Naruto's gaze… quickly swept over… the peaches.
Chapter 91: Naruto: Sako Has Become an Ice Beauty
Naruto quickly found new amusement—playing the role of an uneducated elementary student at the Ninja Academy.
But from the very first day of enrollment, Sakoquickly discovered some issues with Naruto.
Naruto, who had previously been very eager to enter the Ninja Academy, was purely there on vacation.
He didn't listen in class and was always making small movements.
He was late, left early, and slept through lessons.
In short, he wasn't doing anything productive.
Not only did he not do anything himself, but he also affected others.
While… others were playing around after class.
The intelligent Sako had already completed all the basic courses of the Ninja Academy.
At this time, she was studying some obscure books from the Jonin period.
For example, medical knowledge.
Although Sako was not a Medical Ninja, nor did she have any intention of becoming one.
But knowing oneself and one's enemy, gaining more knowledge, was beneficial for future growth.
Of course, for Sako at this age, even if she could understand that knowledge, due to limited brainpower, there were always times of fatigue.
Naruto walked over, and with a 'thump,' gently closed the large book for Sako.
"Let's stop here for today…"
Naruto flashed a silly grin.
Such daily experiences made Sako frown involuntarily.
Uzumaki Naruto always gave her a feeling as if he had already mastered everything.
However, Sako knew that Uzumaki Naruto didn't even know that Chakra should be pronounced Chakra.
A month had passed in the blink of an eye since enrollment.
The Ninja Academy offered nothing of value except a boring atmosphere.
Sako was completely uninterested in the childish knowledge of this period.
Deep-seated hatred constantly pursued her.
The declining situation of the Uchiha Clan made her anxious every day, always thinking of becoming stronger, propping up the clan's facade… and killing that man!
Sako didn't play with anyone.
She had completely removed the act of playing from her life.
Study, train, rest… constantly repeating these three.
In a very short time, she began to transform into a true Uchiha elite.
What also disappeared was Sako's smile.
In over a month of enrollment, Naruto hadn't seen Sako smile once.
She had become cold, her eyes indifferent, her demeanor as cold as an ice beauty.
Such a drastic change was naturally thanks to Itachi.
However, Naruto knew that it was only because Sako was under too much internal pressure.
Given time, the wounds would slowly heal, and everything would be fine.
And for Sako, it was sadly true that Uzumaki Naruto, that idiot, was completely uninterested in studying.
All he thought about every day was how to become Hokage in his daydreams.
How could he become Hokage with such poor academics?
But when Sako advised and urged Naruto to study hard, Sako discovered… Naruto was only interested in many useless things.
Such as playing with slackers like Shikamaru, and idiots like Choji and Kiba.
Such as, for no reason, coming over to close her book and telling her to practice happy education.
How did he manage to be so optimistic?
Because he had nothing, his daily life was only increasing.
While she once had something, then lost it, and her daily life was decreasing?
The essence of the matter was the same, but the resulting state of mind was completely different.
Ninja Academy… spending time like this every day, accompanying a bunch of fools, studying elementary courses she already knew, was it really meaningful?
Sako had not failed to apply to the higher-ups for "early graduation."
However, Elder Utatane Koharu told her with an indifferent expression.
Child, you ate poop.
Oh no, times have changed.
In Itachi's era, the war had just ended, and the Nine-Tailed Demon Foxs Attack descended.
The chaos caused by all this meant Konohadesperately needed to expand its Ninja military.
However, Sako's era was a time of peace.
The number of Ninja was already saturated to the point of excess.
Konoha's higher-ups had no choice but to consider raising the graduation age for elementary students to a higher age limit.
Instead of like before… if you had talent, you could graduate at 5 or 6. If you could do it, you went for it.
So, in this current mindset, no matter how outstanding you, Uchiha Sako, are, you still have to honestly wait until the relevant age.
Why?
Too many people!
What Konoha lacks least is people!
What, you think it's unreasonable? Look at the Hidden Sand Village next door, the Fourth Kazekage Rasa has already laid off staff.
Large numbers of Ninja losing their jobs, going hungry, is that better?
At least our Konoha has never laid off a single Ninja!
"But you always cut the budget of our Uchiha Police Force…"
Of course, Sako didn't dare to say this, nor did she dare to complain.
Because the Uchiha now needed to walk on eggshells… Facing Elder Koharu's stern lecture, Sako had no choice but to accept a reality.
She still needed to spend several more years in the Ninja Academy with this idiot Naruto, and other fools like Shikamaru and Choji… "Then why don't you just show everyone what you can do directly? Like defeating Teacher Iruka, defeating Teacher Mizuki… defeating all the teachers in the entire Ninja Academy…"
Naruto offered a good suggestion.
If you dealt with all the Ninja teachers.
Naturally, no one would dare to teach you anymore.
And they would lose face, surely collectively petitioning for your early graduation.
"Idiot!"
Sako glared at Naruto in annoyance.
"If I had your status, I would have done that long ago! But I am Uchiha! Uchiha!"
You're not unaware of the current situation of the Uchiha Clan.
Beating up Ninja Academy teachers?
I'd have to be crazy to do that… "Sigh… what am I even saying to you, a dead last, you brainless fellow!"
Although Uzumaki Naruto was very strong, it was regrettable that his brain was also filled with muscle.
Or water… Sako thought.
Isn't it asking too much to make a guy who pronounces Chakra as Cha-do-ra think more?
"Then just challenge the Ninja within your own clan."
Naruto proposed a plan that startled Sako.
"Start with the clan members who are students in the Ninja Academy from your generation… take them down one by one."
Naruto waved his hand.
"Then the Genin, the Chunin in the Police Force… Special Jonin, Jonin… defeat them all, and finally defeat your father, proving your strength."
"!"
Sako gasped.
This plan was crazy.
But it had to be said… it had great practical value.
"When Uncle Fugaku is defeated by you, that will be when you are crowned king… The Police Forcemust have a captain… By then, your preparations will be complete, and you can go achieve your wish…"
Sako: "…"
Chapter 92: Sako, Become the Lich King
Taijutsu class.
Homeroom Teacher Iruka began to call roll.
Students went up in pairs.
When it was Shikamaru's turn, there was a chorus of boos.
Clearly, everyone wanted Shikamaru to hurry up and get off, after all, Shikamaru, who was always unmotivated and whose catchphrase was 'troublesome,' was extremely depressing, and it really affected the mood!
"I give up~."
Shikamaru, with his dead fish eyes, raised his hand, indicating that competing was too troublesome. It was better to lie on the ground and watch the clouds.
"You can't just give up!" Iruka shouted in exasperation from the side.
He had been a teacher at the Ninja Academy for several years.
This was the most difficult class he had ever taught!
Shikamaru: "Tch…"
"…"
