Naruto: Two opponents versus Naruto, Konoha panics!

【final.】

Sakura couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food.

They'll only stop eating when they're completely full.

As for Kakashi's warning from yesterday, it's long since been forgotten.

[It's not that she lacks determination when it comes to losing weight!]

[As Naruto said, a physique gained at the expense of health won't last.]

[It's better to sweat more during practice, thus achieving better health and a better figure in the process.]

Heitu: "Indeed."

Mei Terumi: "That makes sense."

Samui: "A very good idea."

But when faced with talent...

Unless one has mastered the Hundred Healings Technique.

The Hundred Healings Technique and the Yin Seal are slightly different.

The creator of the Yin Seal was Mito Uzumaki, the wife of the First Hokage.

The Hundred Healings Technique was an improvement Tsunade made on the original Yin Seal.

Of course, it is still a Yin seal in essence, but with the added effect of eternal youth.

To achieve a transformation like Tsunade, from having a flat chest to standing out from the crowd.

Further learning is still needed.

This way.

At Naruto's house, the Konoha 1s were eating breakfast, chatting and laughing.

On the other side.

[Outside Training Ground No. 7 in Konoha.]

A figure emerged from the thick fog.

He had his hands in his pockets, his face cold.

[His expression turned even more grim when he arrived outside Exercise Field No. 7.]

[Please wait a moment.]

He frowned.

【"snort!"】

"You two better not hold me back."

Having said that, Sasuke looked at the empty street ahead.

[He turned and entered Exercise Field No. 7.]

He arrived very early.

[And, they haven't eaten anything yet.]

Right now, seeing that Naruto and Sakura haven't arrived yet, he's even more annoyed.

Kakashi's "warning" from yesterday was naturally remembered.

Therefore, it was assumed that Naruto and Sakura would do the same.

Like him, they arrived at Training Ground No. 7 early, and then surveyed the terrain of Training Ground No. 7 before the assessment began.

A ninja who doesn't gather intelligence beforehand is not a good ninja.

Uchiha Sasuke: "Damn it!"

Fugaku Uchiha: Sigh... In the end, only Sasuke got caught in it.

Uchiha Sasuke: "No, Dad, in our world, Naruto and Sakura have been affected too!"

Sakura Haruno: "It's all Kakashi-sensei's fault!"

Kakashi Hatake: "This is also part of the assessment."

Matt Kay: "Is... that so?"

Matt Kay: "I don't remember any of this."

Kushina Uzumaki: "You still dare to say that? Kakashi, when did you learn such a treacherous technique, and you even dare to shamelessly call it a secret art?"

Minato Namikaze: Here's another Thousand Years of Death for you.

Minato Namikaze: The Flying Thunder God version.

Kakashi Hatake: "I'm sorry, I was wrong."

Tobirama Senju: "Hey, hey, hey, I'll always bring my girl along!"

Tobirama Senju: "Don't use the ninjutsu I developed for those weird things!"

"Oh, right."

"Naruto-kun, do you think Sasuke might not have had breakfast yet?"

While resting on the sofa, Sakura suddenly remembered another person from Class 7.

[Upon hearing this.]

Naruto's mind conjured up that face that always made him want to punch it.

"Perhaps."

"Kakashi-sensei's words contained a strong element of psychological suggestion."

"That's probably part of what this so-called assessment covers."

"I see." Sakura nodded, it seemed she hadn't guessed wrong.

"Should we... um?"

"Well, no matter what, we'll be in the same class from now on."

Naruto nodded slightly, then casually packed a breakfast for Sasuke as well.

The young men gradually left; they also had their assessment today.

Before leaving, Naruto specifically instructed Hinata to be careful not to exert too much force.

[I then arranged to meet with them after the assessment.]

[We had already discussed this beforehand. Perfect timing! After today's assessment, I'll become a true ninja, so we should definitely celebrate!]

[It was originally scheduled for yesterday, but because Kakashi deliberately arrived late, it was postponed to today.]

Soon, the clock on the wall struck nine.

Naruto felt it was about time, so he called Sakura, who was meditating nearby.

"So early?"

It's only 9:00 now, and the assessment starts at 11:30.

Even if you need to gather intelligence in advance, surely you don't need to arrive two and a half hours early?

[The No. 7 training ground isn't very large; intelligence can be gathered in less than ten minutes.]

As for setting traps in advance, that's highly unlikely to be allowed.

"Have we forgotten about our teammates?"

Naruto lightly tapped Sakura's head, who was clinging to his arm.

"Oh right, I almost forgot Sasuke might still be hungry."

Sakura paused, then stuck out her tongue, looking a little embarrassed.

[If she hadn't come looking for Naruto, she'd probably still be sitting outside Training Ground 7, hungry.]

[Not long after.]

Naruto and Sakura spotted Sasuke sitting under a large tree outside Training Grounds Number Seven from afar.

He leaned against the tree, arms crossed, eyes closed.

[I feel something.]

Sasuke suddenly opened his eyes.

[Looking at the two who 'arrived late'.]

"Sasuke, you..."

【"snort!"】

Before Sakura could finish speaking, Sasuke let out a cold snort.

"As a ninja, how could you not know to gather intelligence beforehand?"

As he spoke, Sasuke looked at Naruto.

"Don't hold us back!"

【Um???】

Sakura's eye twitched. Looking at Sasuke's cold, arrogant expression, she hardened her fist.

However.

The tense atmosphere that Sasuke had created quickly dissipated.

【Gurgle—】

【quiet.】

Sasuke was also bewildered by the 'protest' coming from his stomach.

What a coincidence...

Damn it!

Suddenly.

Sasuke's nose twitched; a fragrance he had never smelled before wafted towards him.

Her gaze unconsciously fell on the bento box in Naruto's hand.

【Gurgle—】

The worst thing is when the air suddenly goes quiet.

In the Pure Land world.

Kushina burst into laughter.

Quan also covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

Mikoto Uchiha shook her head helplessly.

Meanwhile, in the chat room.

Kiba Inuzuka was also mocking Sasuke.

Sasuke's face turned bright red with anger.

He looks exactly the same as he does on the black-framed big screen.

Sasuke blushed, noticing Sakura's surprised expression followed by a forced smile.

This made him even more ashamed and indignant.

【"snort!"】

[Another cold snort, and she turned her head away.]

"Want some?"

At that moment, Naruto handed over the bento box.

Sasuke's nose twitched uncontrollably; it was like a top-tier lung attack.

【(╯▽╰ ) Smells so good~~】

No! That won't do!

"I don't need it!"

"Also, Kakashi said, if you eat it, just wait to throw it up!"

[Overwhelmed with shame and anger, Sasuke lost his composure.]

In reality, gathering intelligence on Exercise Field No. 7 only took seven minutes.

[And then Sasuke just waited and waited.]

He had sensed something was amiss long ago.

However, upon seeing Naruto's "late arrival," he was unwilling to admit that he seemed to have been misled by Kakashi's words, which is why his words were barbed.

【pity.】

Sasuke couldn't salvage even the last shred of his dignity.

The aroma wafting from the bento box made his mouth water.

【Gurgle—】

My stomach started 'protesting' again.

"If you don't eat, I'll..."

Give it to me!

Sasuke snatched the bento box from him.

[When I opened the bento box, I couldn't take my eyes off it.]

"Stop rambling!"

"We're going to fight together, and I don't want to be a burden to you guys!"

"I will tell you my battle plan!"

"And also, I won't eat your food for free!"

"I'll pay!"

Under their watchful eyes, Sasuke initially remained somewhat reserved.

But after one bite, all that aloofness and persona crumbled.

[A moment later.]

Sasuke wiped his mouth, still seemingly unsatisfied.

"Thank you."

[Look at her, she hasn't changed at all; just as arrogant as the big fox.]

"Alright, let's talk about this wilderness survival exercise."

"This is the intelligence I've gathered. Take a look, and then you can familiarize yourselves with the training grounds later."
