Naruto: Two opponents versus Naruto, Konoha panics!

"What a fat cat!"

Sakura looked completely incredulous.

Then he picked up the adorable chubby cat.

"It's so heavy...it's solid!"

["Meow~!" The big fat cat groaned weakly.]

They wanted to resist, but fate had its neck gripped.

"Today's mission is complete."

"Let's go."

Naruto looked at the fat cat with amusement.

I wonder if the big fox can be fed that much.

【"Mmm~" Sakura immediately nodded in response.】

Sasuke stood to the side, hands in his pockets, a few leaves hanging from his clothes.

Clearly, he was the one who completed this mission.

【"Mmm~"

"We still need to do the mission; let's gather intelligence on the village openly and honestly."

Kakashi looked at Sasuke with a smile.

"So, you'll be the one to submit the mission this time."

"Remember to say a few kind words."

Upon hearing this, Sasuke instinctively wanted to refuse.

However, seeing Kakashi's expression, he chose to remain silent.

[Fine, I'll just go see how haggard that old man looks. I'll flatter him a bit, see if he'll suddenly become all high and mighty again.]

【"snort!"】

Sasuke gave a habitual snort, then took the large, fat cat and took it to Grandma Li, who had issued the mission.

"Well then, judging by the time, it's about time." Kakashi stood up and stretched.

[The words fell.]

【唳——! ! ! 】

A hawk circling above Konoha suddenly let out a sharp cry.

Kakashi looked up and said, "The signal to assemble."

"It seems we need to discuss the Chunin Exams."

[The Chunin Exams?]

Naruto paused slightly, realizing he'd almost forgotten about it.

I've been busy cultivating lately.

I hadn't noticed, the Chunin Exams are almost here.

[It's alright, though, this Chunin Exams are a joint effort.]

Many people will come to Konoha at that time.

The powerful and wealthy are absolutely indispensable.

Even the powerful daimyo will come along.

By then, everything should be pretty much ready, so let's take care of it all at once.

In the spectator area above the arena, the expressions of the dignitaries changed slightly.

The ninja leaders were also covered in sweat.

Wouldn't it be that direct?

No matter what, we are all powerful and wealthy people. Wouldn't things fall into chaos if we didn't have us?

However, at this moment, apart from a few people who were surprised, most people did not care about them.

"Let's go." Kakashi glanced into the distance, then vanished in a flash.

"We'll probably have to submit the Chunin Exams application form later... Are we going to participate this time?" Sakura asked.

"Let's participate. It'll be a good opportunity to meet the younger generation from other villages," Naruto nodded.

"I'll listen to you~" Sakura said, immediately grabbing Naruto's arm tightly.

This is one of the advantages of being in the same class.

Sasuke returned from completing his mission in a much better mood.

I'm increasingly looking forward to seeing the old man's expression after he finally comes to terms with reality.

During this period, Shikamaru and Minato Namikaze were present.

Many questions have been answered reasonably.

Sasuke has become increasingly reserved.

However, his hatred for Itachi Uchiha only grew stronger.

[If before Sasuke only wanted to kill that filial son, now he wants to take out his heart and see if it's black, if it's like a human heart, if it's warm...]

Taking a deep breath and calming himself, Sasuke walked towards the two people in front of him.

From afar, Sasuke saw Sakura's hand wrapped around Naruto's arm, and he frowned involuntarily.

Immediately afterward, Sakura seemed to sense the gaze directed at her from behind. She turned around, glanced at him, subtly clenched her fist, and gave him a warning look.

Sasuke simply ignored it.

I followed, and we walked side by side.

Sakura: "..."

[That damned Sasuke!]

How can you be so oblivious?

[Finally got a mission, finally got a chance to be alone...]

In the end, seeing Sasuke's unyielding attitude, Sakura had no choice but to give up and pretend he wasn't there.

However, as they walked along, someone else came to spoil the mood.

【"Hello!"】

"Big brother Naruto!"

"I've been studying under Iruka-sensei for a long time, so get ready to accept my challenge!"

"Wait... Naruto-nii, who is this ugly girl?"

"What happened to that ugly girl from last time?"

"This pink-haired dog is even uglier than the golden retriever from last time!"

Ugly woman?

[That ugly girl from last time... blonde hair?]

Ino?!

[Does this mean I'm uglier?!]

In an instant, Sakura's fist hardened.

"You've become the top student in your grade?" Naruto turned around to look.

[It really was that brat Konohamaru.]

Upon hearing this, Konohamaru immediately raised his chin, his face filled with pride.

[When Moegi saw Naruto, her eyes lit up with excitement.]

However, he quickly regained his composure.

[Quickly stepped back a few paces.]

[The moment Konohamaru called out "ugly woman," Udon, who was standing nearby, immediately stepped back.]

Come to think of it, Konohamaru really does have a bit of a cheeky personality.

[Getting beaten up and still admiring the other person...]

If you treat this kid better, he might think you're only nice to him because of his grandfather and won't even bother with you.

But if you beat him up and say a few bad things about the old man, he immediately turns into a sycophant.

It wouldn't be difficult to beat him up.

But you also need to have the courage.

[In this village filled with the Will of Fire, how do you defeat the grandson of the strongest Hokage?]

【Don't you want to live anymore?!】

Perhaps only after beating up Konohamaru would he feel like he was being treated like a normal person.

After all, this is a very rare occurrence.

[Of course, what if his grandfather is no longer the Hokage...]

【"Hello!"】

"Why are you two standing back?"

Konohamaru frowned slightly. "Also, Moegi, aren't you the one who misses Naruto the most?"

"I feel like you'll have a chance if you get rid of this ugly woman."

"Don't worry, not everyone has the power of that ugly woman from last time."

"Damn it... my head still hurts a little just thinking about it."

As Konohamaru spoke, he still touched his head, which Ino had hit, with lingering fear.

Since Ino isn't here, he can call her whatever he wants.

[At worst, next time I run into Ino, I'll just politely call her "sister-in-law."]

[In this way, even if Ino is angry, it's just a light tap on the head, and Konohamaru naturally isn't afraid.]

However, Konohamaru was unaware that he had once again offended the wrong person.

This pink-haired dog's attack hurt several times more than the golden retriever's.

Konohamaru: "..."

Memories from not long ago flooded my mind.

Sakura, who hadn't yet mastered her superhuman strength, knocked him out of his daze and saw her great-grandmother.

If I got punched by Ugly Duckling from the Black Frame World...
