Konoha: I, Ninja War Sakura, rely entirely on skills!

Chapter 8 Prelude to Grade Skipping

"Good morning! Sakura-chan~~"

Early in the morning, the moment Haruno Sakura stepped into the classroom, an excited voice rang out.

A blond boy came towards Sakura enthusiastically.

It turns out that he has two different personalities when in front of others and when he is alone.

At this time, all the classmates in the class were attracted by Naruto's actions.

After all, rumors about Naruto are spreading everywhere in the village. Even though there are not as many people in this class who look down on Naruto as people outside, they still care to some extent.

"Morning, Naruto."

Haruno Sakura greeted Naruto with a smile, then returned to her seat alone.

"Hey~~ Sakura~~"

Naruto grinned foolishly and was about to move closer, but was forced back by Iruka's stern gaze.

"Naruto...Naruto..."

In a corner of the classroom, a black-haired little girl with white pupils looked at the blond boy cautiously.

"Okay, everyone be quiet!"

“Today we are learning…”

Iruka started the day's lecture as usual. Sakura took out her notes and put down her pen after listening for about fifteen minutes.

Here is a lesson on the throwing angle of shuriken...

With the knowledge from his previous life and the excellence of this body itself, he quickly understood what Iruka was teaching.

Staring out the window blankly...

The sky is so blue...

That tree outside really looks like a tree...

Just as Haruno Sakura was in a daze, a small note was quietly pushed over to her by Ino.

Looking at the little girl with beige hair who was pretending nothing happened, Haruno Sakura took a look.

Sakura, Naruto seems to be interested in you!

Haruno Sakura looked back at Naruto who was sitting in the last row of the classroom and found that this guy was staring at her like a pervert. When he saw her looking back, he pretended nothing happened and quickly looked away.

The corners of Haruno Sakura's mouth twitched...

Well, it has begun...

The painful life of being pursued by a man for ten years...

To be honest, if Haruno Sakura was really a girl inside and out, she might have given in.

After all, who can remain unmoved by being pursued by someone for ten years?

But he is a man!
Naruto, Hinata, the eldest lady of Hyuga, is your final destination.

Don’t give it away if you leave!
Haruno Sakura simply ignored Naruto's gaze and wrote a sentence on the note.

You think too much.

Just as Haruno Sakura was about to push the note to Ino, a hand pressed on the note.

"Sakura, come to my office after class."

Iruka conveniently pocketed Sakura's note.

"Yes……"

Haruno Sakura replied calmly.

Oops, oops…

Did I cause trouble for Sakura?

Ino, who was standing by, was dumbfounded upon seeing this and felt a little uneasy.

Sakura has always been an excellent student in the class. Will Iruka's impression of Sakura change because of me...

Ino was worried and frightened as the class passed by with difficulty. Iruka put away the textbooks and waved to Sakura in a calm tone:
"Come on, Sakura."

Sure enough!

I really did cause trouble for Sakura, and Iruka-sensei's expression was so scary!
Seeing this, Ino almost wanted to bury her head in the desk and act like an ostrich.

"It's okay Ino."

Haruno Sakura stroked Ino's beautiful hair and spoke with a chuckle.

Woohoo, Sakura is so considerate, she's still comforting me even now~~~
After comforting Ino, Sakura followed Iruka to the teacher's office. Iruka did not mention the note but took out a thick stack of books from under his desk and placed it in front of Haruno Sakura.

"Here are all the textbooks for the first grade. I will give you a separate test in a month."

Listening to Iruka's words, Haruno Sakura's eyes couldn't help but light up slightly, but then Iruka changed the subject and looked at the pink-haired little girl in front of him with a slightly stern look.

"Sakura, you need to know."

"We are ninjas. We have abilities that cannot be obtained by skipping grades simply by having good grades."

"During this period of time, you not only need to learn all this knowledge, but also need to have a certain level of combat capability."

"Endurance, speed, strength, hiding, intelligence gathering ability, these are all things a ninja must master."

"And even if you pass them all, there will still be a second-year ninja student as your opponent."

"You have to beat him to get the second grade textbook."

Iruka looked at the little girl in front of him with a calm but unquestionable tone.

"Because you skipped a grade, the exams you face are much more rigorous than those of students taking normal exams."

"Even though the first-year exams will be easier, I won't let them down."

"do you understand?"

Iruka has said so much now, he hopes Sakura will give up.

Moreover, skipping grades in peacetime is much more stringent than skipping grades in wartime.

He didn't know why Haruno Sakura was so obsessed with skipping a grade, but he just did what he was told.

Moreover, in his opinion, there was nothing wrong in spending six years peacefully in the Ninja School. These were rare quiet days in the life of a Konoha Ninja.

"I understand. I will definitely pass the exam."

Haruno Sakura looked at Iruka with a determined gaze and spoke.

Looking at the stubborn little girl in front of him, Iruka felt a little toothache, it was all in vain...

"By the way, this is..."

Iruka pulled the small piece of paper he had confiscated from his pocket.

"Nothing, Ino just misunderstood."

Haruno Sakura glanced calmly at the note in the other person's hand, then picked up the pile of books and walked towards the classroom.

Iruka looked at Sakura's sharp handwriting in his hand.

Are you really overthinking it?
But having said that, Sakura's handwriting is really good...

When Sakura returned to the classroom, Ino immediately came up to her nervously.

"Sakura, are you okay?"

"Iruka-sensei didn't give you any trouble, did he?"
