Konoha…
Shinobi Academy…
Library…
As Naruto is too deeply studying the history of this word and the structure of political aspects he lost track of time and place as he is focused too much on the book.
When Naruto finally closed the book and wanted to read the book about the common jutsu's someone called him "Hey kid don't you think you are getting late for your class? "
Hearing the tone he quickly turned just to find the class already started "Iruka Sensei is going to shout at me again. "
Naruto quickly left the library with a little worry.

Classroom…
After coming into the classroom Shikamaru didn't saw Naruto as usual and with a proud smile, he went to his seat in the back row thinking he again came first in the classroom.
After 30 minutes of resting, he started feeling bored and started thinking 'Is it because he didn't recover or is it because he went back to his previous way after that fight and injuries??? '
As time passed Ino was the first one to arrive in the class alone with no Choji with her and when she entered she only found Shikamaru.
"Oh, it's you. " Shikamaru who heard the sound of the door opening looked up only to find Ino looking at the room as if she is looking for something.
After finding only Shikamaru Ino asked curiously "Where is Naruto? " as she knows Naruto has started coming in the academy before anyone these few days so the question is why is he not present here.
"Maybe he is still in the hospital. " Shikamaru replied with a sleepy tone and again went back sleeping.
"No, I went there yesterday but they said he had already left. " Ino said with a serious tone going to the seat she shared with Naruto for the last few days.
"Then he might have gone back to his previous way. " Shikamaru said while sleeping and not caring anymore.
"No, I won't let him. " Ino said with a serious tone as her face become dark.
Very soon Hinata also came and didn't find Naruto but with a sigh, she directly went beside Ino and sat down with a worried face 'Where is he? '
As time passed by more and more students started coming in the class and at some point, Choji also came but soon he started arguing for leaving him behind all alone to come in the academy.
Very soon the time for Iruka to arrive finally came when Sakura came near Ino and asked with a worried face "Ino? "
"What do you want Sakura? " Ino asked with a cold face.
"Sasuke-Kun didn't come. " Sakura said with a worried tone not notching her friend's cold attitude to her.
"So what do you want me to do? " Ino asked as a cold smile appeared on her face after looking at everyone in the room.
"Aren't you worried about him? Don't you think it is weird of him to skip class after what happened with that beast yesterday? " Sakura started with worry about Sasuke but when mentioning about Naruto her tone because really cold and clear hatred showed up in it.
"Who are you calling a beast? " Hinata who is by the side suddenly got irritated by her words and anger took over her as she stood up to ask with a cold smile.
"Of course I am talking about that bastard Naruto. " Sakura said without turning toward the person who asked her that question.
"Can you tell me what Naruto ever did to you for talking about him like this? " Ino also felt angry towards her childhood friend because of her words toward the boy whom she is worrying all along.
"He…he. " Sakura wanted to say something bad but after thinking, she couldn't come up with anything.
"What? " Hinata shouted as she almost activated her dojutsu from anger.
"He hurt my Sasuke-kun yesterday. " Sakura finally found her reason for hating Naruto.
"What are you talking about? Or Were you sleeping while they were fighting? because as much as I remember it was Sasuke who cheated and hurt Naruto yesterday. " Hinata angrily called out to her as her usual shyness became nonexistent when she heard about the person she cares for getting accused of something he didn't and even getting wronged.
"Huh! He deserves to get hurt for trying to fight with my Sasuke-kun. " Sakura said with a cold face and continued defending Sasuke "Besides it is not Sasuke-kun's fault that Naruto didn't know how to defend himself. "
"So if you were in his place you would have won? " Ino asked with a cold tone.
"There is no need for me to fight after all Sasuke-kun would never hurt me. " Sakura replied with a confident smile.
"Are you sure he wouldn't? " Ino asked while thinking 'As much as I know he only cares about getting strong and not anything or anyone around him. '
As Hinata is about to explode from anger the door opened and a shout came in the room "Come on everyone take your seat. "
