Chapter 48 The Late Duo
The fast-sleeping Naruto had no idea what Hashirama and Kurama had done the night before.
However, when Kurama called Naruto to get up early in the morning, his voice sounded much more tired.
I simply got dressed, tied my hair up, ate a hearty breakfast, and prepared my lunchbox at the same time.
Naruto: Wow, I'm really amazing. I'm so much better than that Sasuke who just keeps calling me "brother" all the time.
On his way to school, Naruto unsurprisingly ran into Sasuke.
Huh?
Sasuke doesn't seem to be in a good mood today. Did something bad happen last night?
For example...bedwetting?
Then he got a good spanking from his mother, no, from Itachi!
Naruto thought with ill intent.
Sasuke felt a chill run down his spine as Naruto stared at him with a strange look.
Tch, Naruto must have thought of something weird again!
Sasuke glared at Naruto, who sullenly looked away.
This guy's intuition is getting more and more accurate; it seems I'll have to keep an eye on him from now on.
"Hey, you bastard!, did you just think of something weird?!"
Naruto touched his head.
"Huh? No, I didn't! Don't slander an innocent person!"
!!!∑(ﾟДﾟノ)ノ
...
Yes, that's for sure.
"Alright, let's hurry up and go, or we'll be late!"
(✪ω✪)
Naruto shook his head and said seriously,
"hehe."
Sasuke put his hands in his pockets, his Sharingan instantly activated, and he looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.
"Let's go."
"Huh? Huh? Why did you open your eyes?"
Sasuke: Because he's handsome.
"None of your business."
That's hilarious! Which Uchiha wouldn't want to show off their cool Sharingan after awakening it?
However, after walking for a while, Sasuke felt that his chakra reserves seemed, perhaps, probably not enough.
Silently closing his Sharingan, he used the excuse that his brother had told him not to reveal that he had awakened his Sharingan to Naruto, and they slowly walked towards the Ninja Academy.
10 minutes later.
Ninja Academy.
"Who's dragging their feet? How come you're late for school on your second day?!"
Last night, I made a special effort to communicate with the parents in the class, especially the parents of the children from those big families, to get Iruka back to his original form.
"Oh no. Am I late?"
Hashirama was usually the one to wake Naruto up, but today...
Kurama still felt uncomfortable and suddenly remembered that Naruto should get up and go to school.
So he woke Naruto up and then plopped down on Hashirama's stomach.
Hashirama: I felt a sense of oppression, a very heavy feeling, like the feeling I had when I fought Madara back then.
Kurama curled his lip in disdain. "Damn Hashirama, he woke me up last night. Now I can sleep soundly."
Ah~ I'm a little sleepy.
Let me sleep a little longer.
Hashirama: This pressure is concentrated in my abdomen, making me feel like a motor is constantly stabbing my waist with kunai.
<(￣ ﹌ ￣)>
Sasuke also went to bed late because his adventure failed last night, and he was delayed when he woke up, which is why he is like this.
Sasuke: Hmph, if Nii-san were to give me a ride, I wouldn't be late.
He followed behind Naruto, who was scratching his hair, and his face turned a little red.
Good heavens, as a proud member of the Uchiha clan, I was late on the second day of school.
His demeanor contrasted sharply with Naruto's carefree and playful attitude.
I guess I've been going to school with Naruto less often, and in a few days, I'll probably catch his illness.
"Oh, Sasuke, come in. Stand in the back for five minutes, then go back to your seat."
Obviously, shy children get to eat.
Hinata poked her head out.
"Hey, you idiot, stop grinning like an idiot and come stand at the back with Sasuke."
Although Iruka's voice was loud, it wasn't a harsh reprimand.
"OK, Sasuke, did you hear me? Go now."
\\(^o^)\/~
Naruto pushed Sasuke to the back row, and the whole class stared at the two of them.
Well, it's mainly Sasuke. Naruto's strength and status mean those ordinary kids don't even dare to look him in the eye.
Naruto: You little brat! Look me in the eye!!!
Many girls would stealthily glance at Sasuke from time to time, with the pink-haired, wide-foreheaded girl and the blonde girl being the most obvious.
Ino actually glanced at Naruto a few times.
To be honest, Naruto is actually quite handsome, and his blond hair matches Ino's look well, but the fox whiskers on his face obscure his good looks.
Well, her fashion sense isn't great either.
I don't know who picked it out for him.
(Sarutobi: I think it looks pretty good. My grandson Konohamaru also likes this style of dressing.)
There is a kind of aesthetic called the aesthetic of the older generation.
Hashirama also thought Naruto was dressed quite fashionably, much better than his own monotonous light green robe from back then.
Isn't it lovely with all the colorful flowers and oranges?
It's a pity Naruto already has Hinata, otherwise he could have given it a try.
Well, after observing all day yesterday, Ino is now certain that Hinata and Naruto's relationship is definitely not that of ordinary friends!
Being a good friend is just a pretense, hmph, I wonder which side will confess first.
Hehehe, thinking about it this way seems even more interesting.
As expected of a child from the mountain family, his mind is so creative at such a young age; Iruka is ashamed of himself.
"Ino! What are you doing!"
Ino, who was lost in her daydream, suddenly shuddered, much like a student startled when a teacher walks by while they are sleeping.
"Uh, well, sorry, I was spacing out!"
My own father taught me how to do this!
Even if I get caught, as long as I admit my mistake and I'm a girl, the teacher will definitely let me off the hook!
Iruka nodded in satisfaction as he looked at Ino, who was clearly remorseful.
Since there's already been a pair of people who've been used as examples to scare others, I might as well let Ino go.
"Okay, I'll let it slide this time. Next time, stand at the back like Naruto."
Yes, the plan works!
(＾－＾)V
But I was just imagining myself being a bridesmaid... I wonder what kind of wedding dress Sasuke would like.
Sasuke: Orange-yellow, do not disturb.
Compared to other girls who have to constantly look back at Naruto and Sasuke in the back row, Hinata is really amazing.
With the 360° panoramic view activated, even Naruto's X-rays are visible.
Naruto: Why doesn't Hinata turn around and look at me? I'm a little sad, sob sob.
Yes, Hinata didn't tell Naruto about her ability to have a 360° field of vision without using her Byakugan.
Because of shyness.
⁄(⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄
Otherwise, given Naruto's sensory abilities, he would have made eye contact with Hinata the next second.
That's too prickly... I'm sorry.
Hinata doesn't want to tell Naruto right now, otherwise it will be very awkward later.
hey-hey.
