Naruto: Two opponents versus Naruto, Konoha panics!

P.S.: Sorry you guessed wrong, hehe~

Soon, the members of the first six teams all stood up and left with their instructor, a Jonin.

Iruka glanced at their retreating figures, hoping he wouldn't see their faces at the Ninja Academy again next year.

"Team 7 consists of Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno."

【Gah——】

Everyone except Naruto's group was dumbfounded.

[It's not just about the strength and configuration.]

【besides......】

【"hateful!"】

"How could Sakura get such a good thing?!"

"Those are Naruto and Sasuke!"

"Ah~!"

"I'm so envious!"

【"......"

【"Quiet!"】

Iruka frowned; he was also a little confused about this class assignment situation.

[You know, Naruto has always been the top student in his grade!]

Logically, class assignments should aim for a reasonable distribution of resources.

This means making the overall strength of each class more balanced.

[From enrollment to graduation, Naruto was consistently the top student in his grade; he was undoubtedly the number one in his class.]

[And his teammates are Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno.]

One student has consistently ranked second in overall academic performance since enrolling.

The other result was that the girl ranked first in theoretical knowledge and second in overall score.

This configuration is far too luxurious.

It's a long-standing tradition that pigs, deer, and butterflies are grouped together.

[It's quite normal for ninjas from the three major ninja clans—Hyuga, Aburame, and Inuzuka—to be assigned to the same class.]

These two classes, without a doubt, complement each other.

Iruka shook his head.

[It seems a lot of people will be eliminated this time.]

Looking at the children's expectant faces, Iruka felt a pang of pity.

However.

Iruka quickly became worried about Team 7.

Nothing more.

[Team 7, Instructor Jonin – Kakashi Hatake.]

Iruka was stunned for a long time.

This was completely unexpected.

[That Kakashi Hatake... he's actually Naruto's Jonin instructor?]

Iruka clenched his fist tightly.

Those are three extremely promising young talents; are they going to ruin them?

This is no longer a matter of a genius not necessarily being able to teach another genius.

[But they want to destroy Naruto and his two companions!]

Hashirama Senju: It seems like Kakashi's reputation is a bit off.

Kakashi Hatake: "..."

Might Guy: "I remember Kakashi saying that first, he's lazy, and second, if you can't even pass his test, then you shouldn't become a ninja."

Might Guy: "Even if I become a ninja, I'll only put myself in danger, and I don't know when I'll lose my life for no reason."

Might Guy: "Oh, right, Kakashi always has one thing on his lips."

Kakashi Hatake: "Alright, Guy, stop talking."

However, despite Iruka's many opinions...

However, given his status and position, he clearly cannot directly interfere in these matters.

After his initial shock, Sasuke rested his chin on his hands, gave a cold snort, and continued to stand there aloof and independent.

"Team 8: Hinata Hyuga, Kiba Inuzuka, and Shino Aburame."

There's no suspense left.

Ino looked somewhat helpless.

Hinata was the same way, but Sakura was the most excited.

[After reading out the class assignments.]

Iruka gave Naruto a long look.

That resentful look in his eyes sent a chill down Naruto's spine.

Iruka couldn't help but yawn. "Alright, students, wait for the Jonin instructor... I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

Even though I've already graduated, the name Naruto hasn't disappeared from my ears.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will hear this name every day for the next six years.

Not only that... for the next six years, he'll have to live like a thief, hiding from those three little ones.

Right now, Iruka decided to go to the Hokage's office to see the Third Hokage first.

[Let's see if we can persuade the Third Hokage and improve the situation of Team 7.]

Shortly after Iruka left, the Jonin instructors from each squad arrived.

"I'm going now, darling."

Ino looked at Naruto with reluctance.

Then Shikamaru and Choji headed towards the gate.

Even before getting close, I could smell smoke.

The three of them frowned.

"Let's go." Asuma, with a cigarette still dangling from his mouth, seemed oblivious to the three men's reluctant glances.

Shortly after Asma left, a beautiful figure appeared at the classroom door.

"Those from Class 8, come with me."

The visitor was none other than the radiant sunset.

【Hahaha~】

"I thought we'd be the last to leave."

"Well, we'll be going now!"

[Teeth are still full of energy.]

[Shino remained silent, simply keeping his hands in his pockets.]

"Naruto-kun, I'm going."

【"Um."】

"Be mindful of your tone during the assessment."

[Naruto offers a reminder.]

Kurenai Yuhi is a newly promoted Jonin.

Specializes in illusion magic.

[For Hinata... she was completely restrained.]

[Naruto was somewhat afraid that Hinata might accidentally kill him; at that moment, Kurenai Yuhi stood at the door.]

【"Hmm~"】

"If you're hungry, don't hold back, go type it out..."

Before Naruto could finish speaking, Hinata quickly covered his mouth and ran away, her face flushed.

"I...I understand~"

This scene was witnessed by Kurenai Yuhi.

She stood with one hand on her hip, looking at the three little ones she was about to take care of.

[Then his gaze fell on Naruto's face.]

"Wow, that's amazing! He's so young and already has two girls on either side of him."

【"Um?!"】

[Minato-sensei?!]

"Teacher, teacher, where are we going?!"

"Woof!"

Both Kiba and Akamaru were very excited.

The sounds of a person and a dog interrupted Kurenai's thoughts.

She gave Naruto a long, deep look.

Under Naruto's somewhat puzzled gaze, she gave a gentle smile.

[Then he left with Hinata and the other two.]

[On the surface, she appeared calm, but in reality, a turbulent storm was raging within Kurenai Yuhi's heart.]

[That's him!]

[I even bumped into my own butt last time.]

[Uzumaki...Naruto!]

But... how could it be him?

"A Jinchūriki...it seems this matter is not simple."

"Just like Yugao said, the standards for my promotion to Jonin this time were lowered quite a bit, it was so sudden... it's like it was prepared for this year's Ninja Academy graduates."

【"etc."】

[The people following Asuma just now... Ino Yamanaka, Choji Akimichi, Shikamaru Nara, and the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.]

【And I…】

Kurenai Yuhi looked at Kiba Inuzuka walking at the front, with Hinata Hyuga and Shino Aburame following beside her.

She narrowed her eyes slightly.

【Hahaha~】

"Akamaru, we'll soon be able to show off our amazing abilities!"

[The excited voice of Kiba Inuzuka reached his ears.]

[The delicately furrowed brows of Kurenai Yuhi suddenly paused, startled.]

That voice... I feel like I've heard it somewhere before.

[By the way, a few times when I was at Xiyan's house, I heard sounds coming from upstairs...]

【what? 】

No way?
