The two of them were very close, and they had to make a decision.
"Um... Sasuke... why don't we have a meal together and discuss tomorrow's tactics? Maybe this can increase the chances of passing."
Sakura looked at Sasuke's handsome profile and suggested shyly.
After all, this was a great opportunity to be alone with Sasuke, and she had to seize it.
After hearing this, Sasuke smiled at Sakura and nodded in agreement.
Then, he turned his head, his eyes fell on Naruto, and asked:
"Naruto, do you want to go with us?"
Naruto couldn't believe his ears when he heard that Sasuke actually invited him. He pointed at himself with a shocked expression on his face and stammered:
"Me... me? Are you inviting me?"
Seeing this, Sasuke raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a hint of a smile, and said jokingly:
"Who else but you? If you don't want to go, forget it."
When Naruto heard this, he waved his hands quickly, fearing that Sasuke would change his mind, and said anxiously:
"Go, of course! Let's go eat Ichiraku Ramen; Ichiraku Ramen is the best!"
His face was filled with excitement, and he was obviously looking forward to Ichiraku Ramen.
"Well, okay, let's go eat Ichiraku Ramen."
Sasuke was actually curious about the legendary Ichiraku Ramen, but he still wanted to hear Sakura's opinion first, so he turned to look at Sakura and asked gently:
"Sakura, what do you think?"
"I have no objection, I haven't eaten ramen for a long time."
Sakura wanted to beat Naruto up in her heart, who told him to destroy her and Sasuke's world of two people!
But for Sasuke's sake, she still endured it.
After all, she didn't want Sasuke to think that she was a stingy woman, and she also knew that Naruto just wanted to play with them and had no ill intentions.
Just then, a gust of wind blew, blowing Sakura's hair and away a trace of dissatisfaction in her heart.
She took a deep breath, smiled, and said to Naruto and Sasuke:
"Okay, let's go together."
So, the three of them came to Ichiraku Ramen together.
Naruto shouted excitedly: "Boss, give me three servings of ramen!"
While waiting for the ramen, Sasuke looked out the window silently, as if thinking about something.
Sakura was a little absent-minded, glancing at Sasuke from time to time.
Naruto kept fiddling with the chopsticks in his hand, muttering:
"Hehe, I must eat a super big bowl of ramen this time!"
After a while, the ramen was served.
Naruto immediately started to eat voraciously and did not forget to praise:
"Delicious, delicious!"
Sakura looked at Naruto and couldn't help laughing.
Sasuke also smiled slightly and began to enjoy his ramen.
At the same time, in the Hokage's office, Kakashi was standing in front of the Third Hokage, reporting the situation of Team 7 seriously.
"Hokage, this is the situation of Team 7," Kakashi said.
The Third Hokage listened, nodded, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
"The man who will become the Hokage? It seems that Sasuke is not completely blinded by hatred, which is good."
He thought, "Itachi should feel relieved too."
After listening to Kakashi's report, the wrinkled face of the Third Hokage also bloomed with a chrysanthemum-like smile.
It was obvious that he was very satisfied with the bond formed by Uchiha Sasuke and others.
After all, with the bond, these young people will be more united and easier to control.
Just like Uchiha Itachi back then, wasn't it because of his love for his younger brother Sasuke that he was willing to obey his orders?
Afterward, the Third Hokage saw through the crystal ball that Naruto, Sasuke, and others were planning to have a dinner together, and his smile became even brighter.
"These children are really worrying.
But seeing that they are getting along so well now, I am relieved.
I hope they can become excellent ninjas and protect our village."
He said to himself.
Then he looked at Kakashi and said earnestly:
"Kakashi, I think you should know why I let you be the instructor of Team 7.
After all, whether it is the Uchiha family's Sharingan or the guy hidden in Naruto's body, they are all priceless treasures of our Konoha Village.
These cannot afford any mistakes. Only you who have the ability of Sharingan can teach Sasuke how to use the Sharingan, and at the same time, you can protect the seal on Naruto.
Do you understand this, Kakashi?"
You know, at this moment, Konoha Village is in an unprecedented vulnerable period.
The three Konoha ninjas who once dominated the ninja world either left the village or fled the village. Now he is the only Kage-level strongman left in the entire Konoha Village.
Therefore, the burden of protecting and training Sasuke and Naruto naturally fell on Kakashi's shoulders.
After all, Kakashi is an outstanding genius jonin of Konoha Village!
"Yes, Hokage-sama. But my assessment of them may be quite harsh!"
Kakashi responded without hesitation.
Hearing what Kakashi said, the Third Hokage's forehead instantly showed black lines.
Strict? How can you be considered strict?
How can you be so strict that no one can pass the test?
But he thinks Sasuke and Naruto are strong enough to pass the test.
As for Sakura, is there any difference?
...
At the door of Ichiraku Ramen, Sasuke looked at Sakura and Naruto with a serious face and asked:
"Did you remember what I just said?"
"I know, we will gather at Ichiraku Ramen at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, and go to the training ground together after breakfast. I remember all this!"
Naruto patted his chest and answered confidently.
He had just had a full meal, so he was full of energy when he spoke.
However, unlike Naruto, Sakura seemed a little worried.
She frowned and said softly:
"But, will it really be okay for us to do this?"
After all, for Sakura, who has always been a good student, this behavior does make her a little worried.
Seeing this, Sasuke smiled slightly and tried to comfort Sakura.
He explained easily:
"Don't worry, Sakura. Even if Kakashi wants us to fail the exam, the worst that can happen is that we can try again next year. It's no big deal."
Given the status and position of Sasuke and Naruto, unless Kakashi is crazy, how could he let them be eliminated just for this reason?
Let's take a step back. Even if they are really eliminated, there is still the Third Hokage.
He will not sit idly by. I don't believe that the old guy will watch them die without helping them. He has to save them.
