Naruto: Two opponents versus Naruto, Konoha panics!

Ino Yamanaka: "Ah~!"

Ino Yamanaka: "That darn pink-haired girl, I'm so envious!"

Sakura Haruno: "Hmph, you little blondie thinks you can beat me?"

After speaking.

Sparks flew between the two seemingly superficial best friends.

Fireworks, sandwiched in the middle, blinked.

He picked up a glutinous rice ball and asked, "Do you want some?"

"Ah~"

"Fireworks are so cute~"

"Thank you, Fireworks~"

Slow hand!

Sakura was faster.

Ino was not to be outdone.

He scooped up the unsuspecting Hinata in his arms.

While snuggling up to Hinata, he pouted and said, "I really had terrible taste back then."

"Why did you choose her?"

"Sigh...it turns out this hidden gem of a girl has always been right beside me, and I just never noticed~"

"Ino...no...don't touch me...it tickles~"

Hinata blushed and made a symbolic struggle a few times.

In the end, he still succumbed to Ino's clutches.

Little Fireworks couldn't escape the disaster either.

【"Phew~"

"Of course, although some unpleasant things happened."

"However, it's still too early."

"Lunch is on the teacher today, all you can eat."

Kakashi smiled.

The dead fish eyes are gone, and there's a hint of light in them now.

The three of them turned and glanced at him.

Sasuke put his hands in his pockets, turned his head away, and didn't say anything.

Sakura raised her snow-white neck, "You're smart to know what's good for you."

There's no need to hide your true feelings.

Naruto once said that he still prefers everyone's most authentic self.

Besides, the group had known each other for a long time and had gotten to know each other well over the years.

"Let's go."

"There aren't as many people now."

Naruto dons his signature gentle smile.

Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief.

[I was right!]

However, Kakashi quickly suppressed his excitement.

In reality, Konoha is quite complex.

He didn't have much confidence.

[I was just thinking, the teacher's child... he's already missed out on protecting him during his childhood, so he absolutely cannot neglect protecting him in the future.]

【otherwise......】

Kakashi shook his head, unable to imagine what kind of beating he would receive in the Pure Land.

Right now, Kakashi believes that protecting Naruto is the priority, or at least protecting this information for him.

[If the third generation becomes aware of this, the consequences will be unimaginable.]

[In the future... he will still protect Naruto, and if things go wrong, he will immediately tell Naruto to stop.]

[After figuring it out.]

Kakashi let out a long sigh of relief.

[My overall mental state has improved considerably.]

Naruto saw that he was in high spirits.

He said no more.

[I was thinking of giving him a little more excitement.]

Unexpectedly, Kakashi was already close to his limit.

Indeed, my appearance represents 'hope,' not 'despair.'

Therefore, it's okay if you have a lower tolerance for stress.

Moreover, what Naruto originally intended to say would be the most shocking thing Kakashi would ever experience at that moment.

Naruto began to consider whether or not to let Kakashi know.

Ultimately, Naruto decided to wait a little longer.

Now is not a good time.

[Within the sealed space.]

The big fox was picking its ears, showing no interest in Naruto's cunning schemes.

It was quite interested in the few storybooks it had read before.

[It contains many things that would make anyone blush.]

[There are many situations similar to those involving Kushina and Minato Namikaze in the past.]

A wicked smile curled at the corner of its mouth.

Get ready, you wicked brat!

Thinking this, the large fox gently touched its ear with its paw, then, mimicking a human, ran its 'hair' back.

Ok? !

Pure Land World.

Mito Uzumaki was taken aback.

I immediately sensed something was wrong.

Why does this movement look so familiar?

I feel like I've seen this somewhere before...

Wait a minute, isn't this my little habit every time I sit at my dressing table?

Mito Uzumaki frowned slightly, a bad premonition rising in her heart.

[Not long after.]

Class 7 arrived at Ichiraku Ramen.

"Uncle, the usual."

"Okay~"

[After responding with a laugh, he looked at Sasuke.]

【"oops?"】

"It's Sasuke-kun! It's been so long!"

Sasuke nodded slightly.

"Just like Naruto."

"Just a moment, it'll be ready soon!"

The middle-aged man chuckled, then looked at Kakashi.

"Kakashi?"

[The hand was startled and looked at the three little ones wearing headbands.]

[Then she looked at Kakashi.]

Is it really such a coincidence?

[The hand then looked behind Kakashi.]

[Without Might Guy, who was always by my side.]

It seems that's really the case.

[As the most popular ramen shop in Konoha, Teuchi clearly knows more about it than most other businesses.]

【"Yo~"】

Kakashi chuckled lightly. "Then I'll remain the same as always."

【"good."】

[Without asking any further questions, he turned around and began preparing ramen for the four of them.]

[A moment of silence.]

Kakashi looked at Naruto, who was noticeably taller than Sasuke.

"Well, the necessary procedures still need to be followed."

"After all, it will be written into the evaluation form."

Kakashi smiled.

[You could tell he was smiling from his eyes and brows.]

This is a reminder to Naruto.

Naruto then returned a smile.

Kakashi shook his head and smiled inwardly. What was wrong with him?

This child doesn't need me to remind him at all.

【"good."】

"Well then, let me introduce myself first."

"Introduce yourself? How should I introduce myself?" Sakura asked.

"My name is Kakashi Hatake."

"What I like and dislike... um... I'll keep that a secret for now."

"My dreams... well, let's keep them a secret for now. As for my hobbies... well, those are secrets too."

"Introduce yourself like this," Kakashi said, squinting.

[Several people: "......"]

Even the middle-aged man who was hitting the machine was speechless.

[Ayam, who had come after hearing the commotion, also shook her head helplessly.]

What kind of self-introduction is this?

"So, we already knew your name, and it was something we already knew."

Sakura was also speechless.

This scene.

This caused many people to roll their eyes.

What kind of self-introduction do you have?

It's better to just use your own name and have a way of addressing each other.

"Alright, it's your turn now."

Kakashi seemed oblivious to Sakura's complaints.

Looking at Naruto, a sense of anticipation began to rise within him.

However.

【"snort!"】

"My name is Uchiha Sasuke."

"I don't have anything I like or dislike. There's nothing like that."

"If I had to say something, it would be ambition."

"My ambition is to kill that man with my own hands!"

At this moment, Sasuke's face was filled with murderous intent.

Ambitious?

Kakashi glanced at him; this guy's ambition was indeed quite wild.

The Uchiha clan's problems are indeed significant.

In Sasuke, Kakashi saw his former self once again.

"Okay, next."

"My name is Sakura Haruno, and what I like... well, not things, I should say people I like."

"I love Naruto the most. Being with Naruto makes me feel as sweet as eating sweets~"

"And there's more..."

Before Sakura could finish speaking, Kakashi rolled his eyes at her.

【"Next."】

[This then interrupted Sakura's self-introduction.]

Even the hand-typed iris couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki."

"What I like and dislike is a secret for now."

"My dream is... to become the Fifth Hokage."
