Konoha: Start by signing in with Hashirama's cells

"Really?" Naruto.

"Really." Shikamaru.

In order to make Naruto believe and give up, thus saving himself the trouble, Shikamaru rushed to the teacher's office and got Naruto's grade ranking list for the past year.

"See, I didn't lie to you," Shikamaru said.

Naruto looked at them one by one and saw that they just passed the passing line every time, not a point more or less, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Haha, you really didn't lie to me."

Chapter 11 Future In-Laws

Shikamaru can't be counted on.

As for Kiba and Choji, their results were slightly better than Shikamaru's, but Shikamaru was intentionally controlling his scores, while these two were just performing normally.

Hinata's level is in the upper-middle level, so it is more than enough for me to ask her to tutor me, but it is impossible for me to rely on Hinata's tutoring to advance to the top three.

Naruto's gaze fell on the top of the performance ranking.

First, it's always Sakura.

Second and third are Sasuke and Shino.

Unstable.

The scores were very close, sometimes Sasuke was second, and sometimes it was Shino's turn.

Sakura's top position is so stable that it cannot be shaken. She either has full marks or is just one or two points away from full marks. She is a well-deserved top student.

Naruto rubbed his chin, "Asking Sasuke for guidance, in the end, it will probably be Sasuke, Shino, and I, the three of us competing for second and third. That's unstable."

"Besides, Sasuke is busy training to improve his combat abilities, and also busy studying to expand his knowledge base. It's hard for him to have time to tutor me."

After thinking it over, I decided to bother Sakura.

In the future, we will be classmates and possibly relatives, real relatives, so there will be no psychological burden when trouble arises.

In the first class in the afternoon, Naruto wrote a note and secretly handed it to Sakura, his deskmate on his left.

Sakura, who was listening attentively, looked sideways at Naruto who was poking her arm and winking at her: "Teacher, Naruto is affecting my studies."

On the podium, the Chunin teacher holding a textbook glanced at Naruto, pointed at the classroom door, and said indifferently: "Go out, stand in the corner."

Naruto was stunned and wanted to say something but failed. In full view of everyone, he walked out of the classroom and stood outside.

Sasuke tapped the table lightly: "There."

Surprised that Sasuke was talking to her, Sakura turned around and said, "Sasuke-kun, what did you say?"

Sasuke stared directly at the textbook in front of him, holding a pen in his left hand and taking notes in the blank space, while his free right hand pointed at Sakura's drawer.

Sakura looked in the direction it was pointing and saw a small ball of paper.

"Could it be... Sasuke!"

Thinking that it might be Sasuke's doing, Sakura was so happy that she didn't know what to say. With trembling hands, she tried to be careful not to be discovered by the teacher as she secretly opened the paper ball.

"Has there been any progress between you and Sasuke? If not, I can help you."

Sakura was disappointed, it wasn't Sasuke.

"You liar, you said you would help me, but you came to my house for a meal and ignored me again. If I trust you again, I will be a dog."

Sakura scoffed at Naruto's words about how they could bring about her and Sasuke. She was no longer the newbie who knew nothing when she first entered school.

I learned a lot of rumors about Naruto.

What kind of monster is this? He is annoying, likes to play pranks, has no parents, no friends, no relatives, and even has difficulty going to the street to buy things.

How can anyone bring together Sasuke when she has such a terrible popularity and reputation?

After school, Naruto climbed over the wall and left the ninja school, walking through an empty alley to go home.

On the way, I was thinking about the solution.

If Sakura can't do this, then she can only go to Sasuke or Shino.

The first year is the most difficult. You must hurry to make up for the year you have fallen behind. After that, if you can catch up with everyone else’s progress, you will be able to learn on your own.

"I have a foundation in mathematics from my previous life, so it's not a problem. What I really need to work hard on is history and culture, code decryption, and..."

There was a loud bang and Naruto subconsciously looked back and saw an empty can rolling on the ground and a petite figure hurriedly hiding behind a telephone pole.

"Sakura?" Naruto was surprised.

Knowing that she couldn't hide it anymore, Xiaoying was secretly annoyed and walked out with a stern face: "You don't take the main road, but choose to take this dark and gloomy path. You are really weird."

"I'm used to it. But you are following me?" Naruto said.

"Following? Don't make it sound so subtle. This road is not yours. Can't I go anywhere else I want?" Sakura said.

"Oh, then you're pretty weird too," Naruto said.

Having guessed Sakura's intention, Naruto sat back and waited without any hurry.

Seeing Naruto walking away on his own, Sakura opened her mouth, seemed to want to say something, and finally stomped her feet and followed him reluctantly.

Silence lasted for several minutes.

Suddenly, Naruto said, "Ah, just a little further ahead, you'll reach my house. I remember your house is over there, you've passed it."

"Walk a little further, can't you exercise?" Sakura replied stubbornly. Sakura sighed and said in frustration: "What's your solution?"

"Solution? What solution?" Naruto was puzzled.

"A way to capture... ahem, catch up with Sasuke," Sakura muttered.

"Haha, that's hard to say." Naruto said happily: "This is my special skill. Let me tell you, how can I starve to death?"

"If you don't explain clearly, who will know if you are reliable?" Sakura frowned.

"That depends on how much you like Sasuke," Naruto said with a grin.

"If you really like it, you will try it no matter if it works or not. It's not a pity if you fail. If you succeed, then..."

This is indeed the case. Xiaoying was moved. She thought about it and hesitated, "How sure are you?"

"One hundred percent, it will work." Naruto said confidently.

Are you kidding? In the plot, Sasuke and Sakura are together and they even have a daughter.

In the plot, Naruto likes Sakura and has cared for her for so long, but in the end, he could not change the ending that Sakura marries Sasuke.

He only regarded Sakura as his future relative and tried his best to bring the two of them together, and he could not imagine the reason for failure.

"One hundred percent? You're bragging." Sakura pouted.

"Then do you want to try it? I can guarantee with my life that it will absolutely, definitely, succeed." Naruto said with a smile.

Xiaoying was silent and struggled for a long time: "What is your purpose? You can't help me for no reason."

"I want to be in the top three in the exam." Naruto said.

"That's it?" Sakura was surprised.

Naruto nodded.

"No other reason? Aren't you using this as an excuse to get close to me?" Sakura.

"Don't worry, you belong to Sasuke." Naruto.

Upon learning this, Sakura breathed a sigh of relief. She no longer had any doubts and agreed decisively.

"Just so you know, you can't let anyone know that I'm tutoring you," said Sakura.

"It should be." Naruto nodded.

"Tutoring? I'm not free every day. I'll lend you my notes and you can study on your own. Write down the things you don't understand and I'll explain them all at once when I'm free." Sakura.

"Yeah." Naruto nodded.

Thinking that there was nothing missing, Sakura took out her notes from her backpack and handed them to Naruto: "I have memorized them all, there is no need, you can take them back and read them."

Naruto took it, looked through it, and asked shyly, "Do you have last year's notes?"

"What?" Sakura was stunned.

"Actually, I've been busy with training. From the beginning of the school year until now, I haven't learned any courses except ninjutsu. I have a blank slate and have to start from scratch." Naruto.

"Is this true?" Sakura.

"It couldn't be more true." Naruto.

“…” Sakura.

Chapter 12 The Results of Hard Work

When Sakura learned about Naruto's learning progress, she wanted to laugh, not at Naruto, but at herself for actually having expectations for what Naruto would say.

"give you tomorrow."

Sakura would not go back on her word on what she had already promised, but she was not overly enthusiastic either. She planned to lend the notes to Naruto and then find some time to give him some pointers.

With nothing to say, Sakura said goodbye and ran out of the alley. Her figure merged into the bustling crowd and disappeared.

"Done!" Naruto clenched his fists.

With Sakura's help, if he tries harder and works hard, he can expect to be in the top three.

The next night, after school, a similar scene occurred as the day before, and the two met in the alley.

"Do you still have last year's textbooks?" Sakura said.

"Yes." Naruto.

"That's good." Sakura said, pulling out a stack of notebooks from her backpack: "You need to memorize the contents of these two corresponding textbooks, and understand their meanings. I've marked them with annotations, you can read them yourself, can you read?"

Naruto nodded.

"This is a book of mathematical formulas. It would be best if you can understand it. If you can't, I will teach you when I have time." Sakura.

"This is a collection of poems from three generations. Basically, every exam will have one or two questions that require you to fill in the blanks and explain their meaning. The points are not very high, but if you want to get the highest score possible, you must master it."
