Naruto: I made you Naruto, and you've become blond?

Chapter 38 One punch shatters Erzhuzi's pride

Iruka explained the precautions for practical training.

Such as the sign of opposition, the sign of reconciliation, remembering the will of fire, cherishing companions, and not resorting to any means to achieve victory.

The classroom was filled with jubilation and excitement.

Compared to indoor theoretical courses, students prefer outdoor courses such as practical training.

After all, the ninja village is actually a violent institution completely ruled by the Hokage, which advocates absolute force.

Uchiha Sasuke coldly gazed at the blond-haired boy by the window in the back row, his eyes flashing.

He had previously witnessed Naruto running and training his physical endurance at the village's training ground.

In his eyes, Naruto at present is simply more physically strong and has a little more chakra than the average person.

But I am different! I have received careful guidance from my genius older brother since I was a child.

He had already mastered the basics of the Three Body Techniques even though he had just entered the Ninja Academy!

Naruto was merely a stepping stone for him to rise to fame as another genius of the Uchiha clan at the Ninja Academy!

He wants to climb to the top step by step!

Until he catches up with his brother Itachi Uchiha!

He's already figuring out which senior opponent he should challenge after defeating Naruto!

I heard that the Hyuga clan, who are on par with the Uchiha clan in the village, also had an unparalleled genius in the previous generation!

Hmph, the Hyuga clan dares to compare themselves to the Uchiha clan, who possess the Sharingan?!

Naruto stared at Sasuke's burning, intense fighting spirit, as if he wanted to devour him whole, and subconsciously turned his head to look out the window.

The sky was clear and cloudless.

The rain stopped, the sky cleared, and Sasuke was able to get going again.

A head with short, elegant, light blonde hair came closer, blocking Naruto and Sasuke's fiery gaze.

"Naruto-kun, do you want to join me for sparring?"

Ino tucked her hair behind her ears, her emerald-green eyes filled with anticipation.

Unlike them, Naruto didn't come from a powerful ninja clan and was an orphan, so he probably didn't have much ninja training growing up.

Those who are direct descendants of the Yamanaka family, like her, have already mastered basic chakra control techniques.

More importantly, if I could spar with Naruto, we might accidentally make some physical contact!

She had wanted to touch Naruto's fair and delicate face, which was even whiter than a girl's, for a long time! And those light blue eyes were so beautiful!

Naruto shook his head, creating a slight breeze, unaware of Ino's thoughts revealed at such a young age.

Ino, who was standing close by, suddenly twitched her nose and then cupped her fair face in her hands, revealing an expression of ecstasy.

"Naruto, you smell so good~"

Naruto was taken aback, his expression turning strange. He hadn't expected Yamanaka Ino to be like this.

The next line is probably, "Friends are delicious?"

Only after Ino spoke did she belatedly realize what she meant.

Her plump, collagen-rich face was flushed with a rosy blush, and even her jade-like earlobes turned into red agate.

Ino stammered,

"Naruto...kun, something's come up. Oh right, Choji's calling me, I have to go now..."

Watching Yamanaka Ino hurriedly run back to the Ino-Shika-Cho trio,

Naruto had a smile on his face; he was totally becoming Hinata-like...

So cute!

He also sensed that Ino might have been obsessed with looks before, and her attitude towards Sasuke was similar to how she was infatuated with him in the original work, so she treated him somewhat differently.

But ever since she witnessed Ino helping Sakura Haruno out of a predicament, her emotions have become subtly unusual.

Whenever she had free time, Ino would come up to her with a smile on her face...

Like a lapdog...

Hmm... Golden Retrievers are naturally friendly...

Nara Shikamaru, sporting a pineapple-shaped head, lay on the table yawning and said casually.

"Ino, you didn't succeed in inviting Naruto to do some sparring, did you?"

Ino covered her flushed face, somewhat surprised. "How did you know, Shikamaru?"

"Could they be eavesdropping on my conversation with Naruto?!"

Ino's face was stern, and she waved her fist threateningly.

"Hey hey! Ino, you're so easy to guess!"

If it had worked, you should be jumping for joy right now.

Upon hearing this, Ino's jaw dropped. "Is it that obvious?!"

Nara Shikamaru shook his head, feeling helpless at the anxious and uncertain expression on the face of his childhood friend whom he had grown up with.

Girls mature so early! Puberty and all that is such a hassle!

His father, Nara Shikaku, and Ino's father did consider bringing them together.

However, he and Ino didn't click at all.

The three members of the Ino-Shika-Cho family are more like close siblings, with no hint of romantic feelings between them.

Ignoring all of this, Choji grabbed a handful of potato chips and stuffed them into his mouth, mumbling incoherently.

The latest novel is first published here!

"I really like Naruto. If Ino and Naruto really end up together, that would be great! The three of us will never be apart again."

"What if Ino's future partner doesn't get along with us? That would be terrible!"

Hearing these words, Nara Shikamaru turned his head and looked at Choji with a surprised, dead-fish-like gaze.

I nodded secretly, not expecting that Choji would be even more insightful than me this time.

The three families of Ino, Deer, and Butterfly have always been united, which is indeed a good thing...

Perhaps I could help Ino with something? Ah~ never mind, it's too much trouble~

"Alright everyone, meet at the training ground behind the school in ten minutes!"

After explaining the procedures and rules for the first practical training session, Iruka clapped his hands and gave the order.

The air was filled with the fresh, soft scent of loose, damp soil after the rain.

The students gathered in twos and threes around Iruka, who wore a light green Chunin uniform and had her hair tied in a high brown ponytail, in the center of the circle.

Iruka held the notebook in his hand, looking at the densely packed little carrot heads around him.

"Did any students volunteer to come up here?"

The students around were chattering excitedly, but they hesitated, playfully pushing and shoving each other, not daring to actually step forward.

Most ordinary students haven't even refined their chakra yet; they only know some fancy moves.

This time, the main purpose was to conduct a preliminary practical test on the ninja clan members in the class.

For a long time, no one took the initiative to come forward.

Iruka smiled and said, "Then I'll take the initiative to call on the students' names, teacher."

At this moment, Sasuke, with his fair and cool face and hands in his pockets, slowly walked to the center.

Immediately, the girls in the class burst into cheers and shouts of joy.

As the school's most handsome man and the second young master of the Uchiha clan with a distinguished background, Sasuke naturally enjoys immense popularity.

Iruka's expression changed, somewhat surprised.

He had come to know over the years that Sasuke was a rather aloof and arrogant person.

Unexpectedly, Uchiha Sasuke actually took the initiative to help him out of a predicament.

Furthermore, Sasuke Uchiha is incredibly strong, far surpassing his classmates! Who does he want to challenge?!

Iruka thought to himself that perhaps only Hinata Hyuga, the eldest daughter of the Hyuga family, could put up a fight in the class.

Just as Iruka was hesitating about which classmate to choose as Sasuke's opponent to make the match less lopsided and avoid hurting the opponent's pride.

Sasuke's expression was cold as he pointed his hand coldly at Naruto.

"Naruto, you will be my opponent!"
