Chapter 6

"Because, I can see from the look in your eyes that you are willing to do anything for her. Right?"

When he heard Shirai, Naruto's eyes lit up.

They're no longer hostile, Naruto's now looking at Shirai like a long lost childhood friend.

Seemingly forgetting his previous loss to shirai already, he went up and hugged him,

"Shirai, you know me so well! I didn't even realise you were actually a good guy!"

Sakura backed away quickly seeing Naruto crying tears of joy.

'Disgusting! Why am I even classmates with these idiots!'

"Yeah well, I am doing this to help my big forehead classmate."

Sakura took another step back hearing this.

Naruto hearing this looked at Shirai like seeing his idol.

"Sakura chan, come on. Do me all you want!"

There was an expression of determination on Naruto's face. His face shows excitement and anticipation, not fear.

"I…"

"Don't be scared sakura chan! I know first times can be scary!"

"I haven't learned it yet."

Little Sakura quickly turned to Shiraishi with a deadpan look. She couldn't handle this anymore. Anymore than this and she might have to see a doctor...

"Classmate Shirai, let Naruto go back, please."

"You didn't learn it?"

Shirai couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

He was actually surprised to see this big forehead pink buffoon actually stopped posing.

"Yes."

Sakura lowered her head. Her face turned dark but she continued,

"The thing I told you before about listening to it once and learn Transformation Technique thing is also fake."

Shirai shook his head and said, "Big forehead classmate, I'm actually disappointed in you."

No EQ event triggered, talent +6!

"I'm sorry."

Sakura's head was lower. She was ashamed.. of lying to someone. But more importantly, lying to herself assuming that she was talented.

Shirai heard her apology but he didn't buy it at all.

"You don't have to say sorry to me since you didn't actually feel sorry for me. You are just ashamed for yourself."

Seeing Sakura's surprised look, he continued,

"However, it's understandable. How can one feel good about theirselves when talented people are coming out one after another.

Most would just feel like they're background characters ready to die so that main characters can show up and revenge for their death."

Shirai chuckled at his own joke but seeing noone was laughing he just coughed and went back to his seat with Sakura who followed behind him silently to sit as well.

However...

Naruto did not let the matter end.

"Shirai, how do you actually see my feelings for Sakura chan then?! Did you lie to me?!"

"I think you have dog-licking eyes."

"Dog-licking eyes?"

Naruto froze for a moment.

"What is that?"

Shirai looked around for the room then saw Kiba. More specifically, Akamaru who's lying on the boy's shoulder.

"Wait and see."

Shirai walked up to Kiba which he notices and became vigilant.

"You, what do you want?!"

Akamaru was also wary, looking at Shiraishi threateningly.

Shirai ignored the looks and took out a piece of leftover beef jerky.

"Eat."

Akamaru smelled the scent of meat and wanted to eat but hesitant to do so.

On the one hand, Shirai beat his master Kiba so bad that the boy went unconscious.

On the other hand, this beef jerky is really fragrant.

Kiba was abit surprised.

"Shirai, why are you doing this?"

Kiba knows that Akamaru couldn't resist the temptation of meaty smell.

And as expected, the dog start licking it but not eat it.

Seeing this, Shirai stuffed the jerky into Akamaru's mouth.

Akamaru instead of throwing up actually start chewing.

When he finished eating the jerky, Akamaru's eyes softened a lot, and there was no hostility at all while looking at Shirai.

Shirai stretched out his hand and Akamaru immediately licked it eagerly.

"See this? This is dog licking!"

Hearing this, for some reason, Akamaru felt as if he had been humiliated in some way.

Shirai retracted his hand, took out the paper from his pocket and wiped it.

But Naruto still didn't understand it.

"You mean how loyal and cute Akamaru is to his master?"

Naruto nodded himself and decided.

"You know what?! From today onwards, I will be Sakura chan's faithful licking dog, believe it!"

As Naruto was saying his dialogue, someone pushed him to the side.

"Let's compete again!"

It's the orph- Uchiha Sasuke.

"This time, I will definitely win."

Shirai looked at Sasuke with a deadpan.

"Why should I fight with you?"

"Are you scared?"

"Scared?"

Shirai glanced at Sasuke with his face full of tick marks.

"You were on your knees just awhile ago. Now you want it again? Damn you're hungry."

"What are you trying to say?!"

Sasuke was angry. Even though he didn't know the implication of what Shirai said, he knew it was an insult.

"I mean savor your defeat first. It's still fresh and hot. If you want to get defeated again, atleast wait until tomorrow."

Sasuke endured this humiliation. His eyes were burning with hatred.

"I know you want something from me. I will do whatever you say since that's how much I want to see you on the ground with blood plustered in front of me."

Hearing him, Shirai smirked.

'Uchihas really are different breeds. They know their enemies..alot."

"I want a challenge fee, one challenge means ten thousand ryo."

"Here, take it!"

Sasuke immediately took out ten thousand ryos from his wallet.

The whole Uchiha clan is gone so Sasuke inherited quite a lot of inheritance.

Although he can't use all of them due to being underage, Sasuke would get monthly allowance from his inheritance.

'And trust me on this, he gets LOADS of cash."

Compared to Shirai, this kid can be considered a billionaire.

The students gathered together in the classroom surrounding the two.

Last time, Sasuke has already lost to Shiraishi but it was a one time occurence.

Sasuke has been considered the strongest person in their generation for years now.

So many people doubt whether it was just a lucky victory.

"Start!"

Sasuke took a defensive pose.

The next moment, Shirai's figure flashed.

"Bang!"

A hand knife fell on the neck.

Sasuke's breath got rapid and he felt like his body couldn't maintain balance and so Sasuke fell to the ground involuntarily yet again.

Unlike last time however, he didn't even have the strength to kneel this time.

"Can you now accept that I beat you fairly?"

Sasuke gritted his teeth not wanting to speak.

Shirai shrugged and walked out of the class. He expected it already. It doesn't take a genius to figure out uchihas never admit defeat.

Shirai left the ninja school but news about him spread starting from Ninja School to all around konoha.

A transfer student defeated Uchiha Sasuke, the lone clan heir.

Both time and in one blow that is.

The students were shocked.

Parents were shocked.

Teachers were shocked.

...

After class, Iruka came to the Hokage office immediately.

"Hokage sama."

"Oh Iruka, what's the matter?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked up at Iruka.

"It's Aoki Shirai…"

"Did Shirai get into trouble?"

"No."
