Next Day
Naruto arrived at the ninja school early, waiting for class to begin.
Without Naruto's intervention, everything unfolded just as it did in the original scenario.
As in the original plot, he formed Team Seven with Sasuke and Sakura, becoming Kakashi's disciple.
Well, of course, Naruto avoided kissing Sasuke.
"Anyway, tomorrow we meet at the training ground.
I will judge whether you can pass.
And remember to bring your ninja tools.
Gather at 5 o'clock tomorrow morning...
That's it; disband!
And don't eat breakfast, or you'll vomit..."
On the rooftop, Kakashi turned his back on the three of them. After giving a few clear instructions, he disappeared instantly.
Sasuke and Sakura, preoccupied, were left feeling uneasy...
"You two, I'll go back first...
See you tomorrow!"
Naruto stood up, stretched lazily, and waved his hands nonchalantly.
After speaking, he turned and walked away...
Now wasn't the time to attack Sakura.
Naruto didn't want to be a "licking dog"...
If he wanted to lick, it meant someone else should lick him.
"Naruto..."
Sakura looked at Naruto's carefree back, unable to help but be stunned.
Today's Naruto was totally different from before!
The Next Day
Naruto slept soundly until he woke up naturally. He washed up, had breakfast without haste, and headed to the training ground.
Knowing how unreliable Kakashi could be, he wouldn't wait there early.
"Naruto, you're late..."
As Naruto walked to the training ground, Sakura, who had been waiting for a long time, shouted in dissatisfaction.
The brooding Sasuke sat nearby, not raising his head, continuing to pretend to be deep in thought.
However, the faint dark circles under his eyes and tired face exposed his true condition.
Sasuke and Sakura had arrived at five o'clock in the morning, before dawn.
"Anla, anla...
How can you be late if the teacher hasn't arrived yet!"
Naruto waved his hands lazily, sitting casually aside, speaking in a nonchalant manner.
"What?
The teacher told us to come early.
Sasuke and I have been here for a long time..."
Sakura was stunned for a moment before voicing her inner dissatisfaction in a slightly slower tone.
"That's you; I'm at the bottom of the class.
When have you seen a loser like me listen to the teacher so much?"
Naruto leaned against the wooden post behind him and spoke casually.
At this point, Naruto didn't care about being called "the bottom of the class" at all!
Genius? Useless?
These labels were just empty words in his eyes...
If others want to get involved, let them, but don't drag him into it.
'What happened to Naruto?
In the past, he would have definitely joined in complaining about that annoying teacher and would have comforted himself.
Isn't he the most annoyed by being called the bottom of the class?'
Sakura looked at the lazy Naruto in astonishment, feeling suspicious in her heart.
She actually enjoyed the pleasure of complaining about others with Naruto!
But the shame in her heart prevented her from being so bold.
Naruto's nonchalant response caught Sasuke's attention, making him glance over.
Why wasn't this guy as passionate as before?
While the two secretly observed Naruto, he also inadvertently glanced at Sasuke.
If you want to talk about the strongest pairing in Naruto, you have to consider the Naruto-Sasuke combination.
How many Naruto fans would be upset about that!
Hinata, the heroine, isn't a princess at all.
Although she has an outrageous appearance and an impressive figure, she has far too few emotional scenes.
In terms of pairings, she can't compete with Naruto and Sakura!
But even they can't compare to Princess Sasuke...
This is Naruto from the original story!
Of course, Naruto didn't mean to be gay.
It was purely idle and bored thinking...
Just when Naruto was lost in thought, Kakashi's figure appeared before the three.
"Hey, you three, good morning..."
Kakashi, carrying a school bag, squinted his eyes and approached them to greet them.
"Too slow..."
Sakura, who was dissatisfied with Naruto's lack of urgency, pointed at Kakashi and shouted with a straight face.
However, Kakashi, being so thick-skinned from experience, didn't care about Sakura's dissatisfaction at all.
"Because a black cat crossed my path, so...
cough, cough...
Anyway, the time is set for twelve o'clock.
Your task is to snatch these two bells away before noon.
Those who don't take a bell will have nothing to eat..."
Under Naruto's playful gaze, Kakashi explained the rules of the test.
Sasuke and Sakura understood why Kakashi didn't let them have breakfast.
Both stared at Kakashi with resentment, while Naruto could barely contain his laughter...
Sakura raised some questions, just as she did in the original plot, which Kakashi answered one by one.
"Now, let the preparations begin...
Ready, go..."
Seeing that no one had any more questions, Kakashi waved his hand and ordered the three of them in a deep voice.
Sasuke and Sakura instantly dashed away and hid separately.
Only Naruto stood up slowly, looking directly at Kakashi without moving.
"You, do you have a problem?
Didn't you understand what I said?
The most basic thing for a ninja is to hide your presence..."
Kakashi raised his dead-fish eyes, looking at Naruto speechlessly, reprimanding him with black lines across his forehead.
'Is this the teacher's child?
Really, not cute at all!'
"Hey, hey...
Kakashi-sensei, you're being ridiculous.
As long as I can beat you, that's all that matters.
Hiding is just a tactic for the weak!"
Naruto smiled dismissively, scoffing at Kakashi's lesson.
Flaunting fancy ninja skills is simply a joke in the face of overwhelming strength.
Which ninja still engages in real ninja battles in the later stages? Isn't it all just a contest?
Naruto made the hand signs, and blue Chakra, visible to the naked eye, surged wildly around his body.
This was the first benefit after reaching an agreement with the Nine Tails.
Instead of wasting his own Chakra, he could suppress the Tailed Beast Chakra from the Nine Tails.
According to Kakashi, Naruto now had at least 100 units of Chakra.
Naruto was ready to unleash his Chakra-crushing technique.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
Naruto shouted loudly, and with a series of bangs, large clouds of white smoke erupted...
Five hundred Shadow Clones suddenly appeared beside him.
Kakashi, who was originally relaxed, froze in place for an instant as he raised his hand to greet the sky.
This number of Shadow Clones made even him take it seriously.
"Damn it...
The one at the bottom of the class actually has such strength?
How is this possible?"
Sasuke, who was hiding in the bushes, suddenly narrowed his pupils, subconsciously gripping the branch in his hand, gritting his teeth in disbelief.
"Naruto, Naruto...
He has such a ninjutsu; it's not an ordinary clone; it's a physical clone.
This guy is really not easy...
With this, he should be able to grab the bell!"
Sakura lay in the bushes, watching through a gap and her eyes shone as she cheered quietly at the sight of so many Narutos.
"Go!"
Standing in the center of the Shadow Clones, Naruto waved his hand and issued an order.
The Shadow Clones shouted in unison and charged at Kakashi.
"There are too many of them; there's no way..."
Kakashi frowned slightly, murmured to himself, and quickly completed the hand signs with both hands, slapping the ground.
"Earth Style: Tsubaki Technique..."
