Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 435 Is this even possible?

Sasuke, a smile playing on his lips, happily ate Choji's potato chips, patting his chest and assuring him, "Don't worry, I'll be absolutely fine!"

"Have you made your beds yet? If you have, let's play games together!"

Kiba Inuzuka looked at the two of them, or more precisely, at Naruto.

Naruto immediately puffed out his chest and declared, "No problem! I can make the bed in no time!"

Sasuke pursed his lips, saying that everyone has their own expertise. Naruto's grades were terrible, but he was great at video games, so he was just as popular as Sasuke.

As for Sasuke...

Sasuke can use his Sharingan to cast genjutsu on others during exams, thus revealing the correct answers. This way, the teachers can't accuse him of cheating, since the ninja academy exams aren't that extreme.

However, during the civil service exam, the exam is conducted in separate cubicles, patrolled by elite Chunin and Jonin. Anyone caught cheating is disqualified, meaning they will be disqualified from taking any exam for the rest of their life.

Therefore, the civil service exam is worlds apart from the exams in school.

Well, speaking of which, I have to say something.

How stupid do you have to be to fail a course under such lenient conditions?

"Woof woof"

A dog's barking suddenly came from the second floor. Kiba Inuzuka smacked his hands: "Oh right, I forgot to let Akamaru out. Wait for me a bit."

With that, Kiba Inuzuka went upstairs.

The second floor is actually not very big, only half a meter high, but it's definitely enough to keep pets.

Kiba went to get Akamaru some water, while Naruto and Sasuke went back to their dorms.

"Do you need my help?" Itachi Uchiha asked his younger brother with a smile.

Sasuke's face immediately turned red.

Naruto, on the other hand, looked over with shining eyes. There was no doubt that if Sasuke dared to agree, Naruto would definitely laugh at Sasuke for being a brat who couldn't even make his own bed for the next three years.

Sasuke immediately shook his head and said, "No need, brother. You should go back. I can handle this by myself."

Itachi Uchiha smiled and then looked at Naruto.

Sasuke naturally trusted Naruto completely.

After all, the two of them can be considered a pair of bickering lovers.

From childhood to adulthood, ever since Sasuke went to Hyuga Kindergarten, the two have always attended the same school.

Although the two seem to have a bad relationship, it's just a conflict between kids.

Moreover, to be honest, their mothers are best friends, so their relationship couldn't possibly be that bad.

After seeing Sasuke make up the bed, Itachi helped him take out his things and then left.

After he left, Naruto and Sasuke looked at each other with hostility in their eyes.

Sasuke crossed his arms: "I go to bed early every night. If you stay up late playing games and wake me up, don't blame me for being rude!"

Naruto raised his head and looked at the other person arrogantly: "Hmph, we don't even know who's bothering whom yet! I know that everyone in the Uchiha clan has a bunch of quirks. If you disturb my rest, I'll definitely beat you up too!"

"What did you say?!"

"What, you want to fight?!"

Just as the two were kicking each other, a terrified scream came from next door:

"ah!!!"

Naruto and Sasuke's expressions changed, and they immediately ran to the next room.

"What's wrong?!"

Naruto pushed open the door and saw a boy with a watermelon rind huddled in a corner, pointing at someone and trembling as he said, "Why are you covered in bugs?!"

Naruto and Sasuke looked at the person the watermelon-skinned boy was pointing at.

"What? It's Shino."

Shino Aburame looked over: "Naruto and Sasuke, huh? So, you two are the students who live next door to my dorm?"

"That's great! If you ask me why, it's because we've been in the same school since we were little, so I won't be all alone anymore..."

"Are you alright?" Naruto reached out his hand to Rock Lee.

Lee looked at Naruto with a completely bewildered expression.

Lee's family is a truly ordinary family. Of course, under Yua's rule, Lee's family is not short of money, but he definitely won't be able to attend the Hyuga Kindergarten or the Sarutobi Clan's elementary school later.

Speaking of which, nowadays almost every family has kindergartens and primary schools, even the Uchiha clan has them, so I won't go into too much detail, it's just that the quality varies.

In reality, the best kindergartens are run by the Hyuga clan, the best elementary schools by the Sarutobi clan, and the best high schools—the period from graduating from the Ninja Academy until taking the college entrance exam—are run by the Shimura clan.

To explain why, we have to go back to when Shimura Danzo spent a lot of money to train nearly five or six hundred members of the Shimura clan who passed the civil service examination in order to cause trouble for Yua and make use of the civil service examination system proposed by Yua.

That was the qualification to pass the exam more than 20 years ago!

Therefore, these people were indeed assigned to various departments in Konoha.

However, these people are now approaching retirement age, and for the sake of their own future, many of them have simply resigned and returned to their families to provide their descendants with the knowledge and resources they have.

To be fair, if it weren't for the fact that the Shimura clan had handed over everything except their core territory, where the clan members lived, to Konoha, Yua would definitely have dealt with the Shimura clan as well.

Unfortunately, the Shimura family was too obedient.

The Sarutobi clan has reserved land for themselves to build schools. The high school built by the Shimura clan was rented from Konoha Village, with rent paid every year. Damn it, they're so obedient, how can Yua target them?

In short, that's basically how the schools between the various ninja clans work.

However, Xiao Li's family is definitely not qualified to attend the ninja clan's school, and they wouldn't be able to afford the tuition anyway, so it would be better for him to attend Southeast Elementary School instead.

Therefore, Xiao Li attended both kindergarten and primary school at Southeast School.

The current principal there is named Yakushi Nono, a very gentle female principal who also teaches art and craft classes.

Having spent several years at that school, how could Xiao Li possibly have come into contact with someone like Shino Aburame?

Therefore, when they arrived, they were terrified to see Shino Aburame covered in bugs.

Then, trembling, he pointed at Shino Aburame and said, "He...he...he..."

Naruto shrugged nonchalantly and said, "They're just some bugs. Actually, his bugs are quite good; they can be of great help."

Xiao Li was taken aback: "Help? What kind of help can you offer?"

At this moment, Shino Aburame interjected, "I can clean, hang clothes, and mop the floor. If I learn to cook, I can even cook dishes."

Xiao Li: "..."

Don't you think you're a bit too trendy, this guy covered in bugs?

This is actually possible?!
