Naruto, what kind of Hokage would you be if you didn't roll around!

Sasuke shook his head.

"I was too concerned about that bottom-of-the-class student..."

"but……"

"He is indeed not as weak as everyone imagines..."

"hateful!"

Sasuke looked at some ninjutsu scrolls lying quietly on the ground.

"No, I can't just stand still like this."

He gritted his teeth and took out a new scroll.

"A C-rank Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique, and a C-rank Fire Release: Dragon Flower Technique?"

"Although it's a C-rank technique like the Great Fireball Technique, it's significantly more difficult..."

"It's not just about ninjutsu skills, but also requires a high level of chakra..."

Sasuke hesitated for a moment.

Learning more powerful ninjutsu is certainly the right thing to do.

However, sometimes exceeding one's limits not only fails to improve but also damages one's body and hinders one's spiritual practice.

But at this moment.

Suddenly a night breeze swept by, ruffling Sasuke's clothes and hair.

Sasuke suddenly had a bad feeling.

He looked up and gazed in another direction from Konoha Village.

That's the place I visited yesterday...

Naruto's home.

"Naruto……"

"Why do I suddenly have a really bad feeling..."

Sasuke suddenly felt a sense of unease.

"That guy... seems to be getting stronger every day, every night, every moment!"

"Humph."

Sasuke clenched his fist, but still opened the scroll.

Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique.

Although his chakra and stamina were completely depleted, Sasuke did not stop at all and immediately gritted his teeth and continued to train according to the contents of the scroll.

"Naruto, I will definitely fight you again, and then..."

"I'll completely defeat you and make you submit wholeheartedly!"

Soon, Sasuke's stubborn voice rang out in the Uchiha training grounds late at night.

"Fire Escape! Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique!"

"hateful……"

"Fire Escape! Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique!"

……

the next day.

As luck would have it, today's class at the Ninja Academy was a training session on ninja sparring.

Naruto was taken aback, then overjoyed, and couldn't help but raise his arms and shout "Hooray!"

"Great! Hooray!"

Iruka-sensei frowned and said, "Naruto, what are you so excited about?"

Naruto stared at Sasuke without flinching, his fists clenched with confidence.

"because……"

"Today I will defeat Sasuke fair and square!"

Immediately, everyone was taken aback and turned to look at Sasuke.

Sasuke's expression remained indifferent.

He had already guessed Naruto's reaction.

and……

He was the same; he had long been burning with fighting spirit and was eager to try!

"Hmph, bottom of the class, don't overestimate yourself!"

"What did you say, you bastard Sasuke?!"

Teacher Iruka couldn't help but sigh and rub his forehead.

"Can you two just leave me alone for a bit?"

Naruto and Sasuke then snorted and turned their heads away at the same time.

Ino and Hinata stood side by side at that moment.

Since Sakura was ignoring her, and Ino had already apologized but there was nothing she could do, Ino was also helpless.

"Those two are really... well-coordinated..."

Hinata blushed and said, "Mmm..."

Sakura remembered what Iruka-sensei had said yesterday. She originally wanted to change her opinion of Naruto, but seeing his arrogant attitude towards Sasuke, she was still furious.

Changing a person's temperament is no easy task.

Teacher Iruka coughed and said in a deep voice, "The ninja sparring at the Ninja Academy is, of course, for actual combat, but on the other hand, it is also for mutual learning and improvement."

"It's not for you to settle personal scores."

"Naruto, Sasuke, to be fair, ninja sparring is done by random draw. I'm not going to deliberately make you two fight!"

"……Oh."

"Humph."

Iruka-sensei sighed, "Alright, Naruto, you go first."

Naruto stepped forward amidst the curious gazes of the crowd, rummaged through the lottery box for a while, and silently prayed.

"Sasuke, Sasuke...I want Sasuke..."

He finally chose one, and then suddenly raised his hand.

"It's decided it's him!"

Teacher Iruka took it and glanced at it, his expression immediately changed!

"This...this is..."

Naruto saw Iruka-sensei's expression and couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

"Could it be that……"

"So it really is Sasuke?!"

Iruka-sensei turned Naruto's lottery draw over and showed it to everyone.

The name above is...

Hinata Hyuga.

"what--"

Naruto and Hinata both opened their mouths wide.

Uchiha Sasuke frowned.

Clearly, he was also eager for this battle with Naruto.

Teacher Iruka saw through their thoughts.

"Ahem, ninja sparring is a form of training, not for you to fight!"

"The lottery results are what they are, and we must abide by them."

"Now, Naruto, Hinata, let's begin!"

Although Naruto was disappointed and helpless, he could only nod and say, "Yes, Iruka-sensei."

Hinata blushed and lowered her head, giving a soft reply.

Yamanaka Ino, who was in the crowd, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Hinata glanced at her, knowing she was making fun of her, and her face turned even redder.

Shikamaru yawned.

Choji, however, secretly asked while eating, "Ino, what are you laughing at?"

Although Ino didn't want to associate with these two good-for-nothings, the relationship between the three families was quite special. The Ino-Shika-Cho trio had long been the three mainstay families of Konoha.

Because of her parents' relationship, Ino had been familiar with these two people since she was a child.

Ino rolled her eyes at them: "You two wouldn't understand even if I told you!"

"One only knows how to eat, and the other only knows how to sleep."

Choji didn't take it to heart: "Hehe, don't say that. That day, Sakura wanted to hit Naruto, and Hinata stood in front of Naruto. Everyone saw it."

"Hinata really likes Naruto, doesn't she?"

Ino was taken aback.

"Oh? I didn't know you had this sensitive side?"

"Much better than Shikamaru!"

Shikamaru rubbed his sleepy eyes: "Choji is the type who's rough on the outside but delicate on the inside."

As for me...

"I don't understand women, and I don't want to understand them. They're such a pain..."

Ino shook her head: "You deserve to be single forever."

Shikamaru smiled and said, "Thank you very much. That's a blessing to me."

Ino: "..."

She couldn't help but glance at Sakura again, and saw that Sakura's eyes were also wide open and unblinking, clearly showing that she was also very interested in the two of them.

"Sakura..."

At this moment, Naruto and Hinata had reached the center of the field and stood facing each other.

Teacher Iruka said loudly, "Form the opposition seal, and after the practice is over, form the reconciliation seal."

Naruto and Hinata formed opposing seals.

"Naruto, Naruto-kun...Nice to meet you..."

Naruto chuckled: "Hinata, although you've helped me a lot, I won't hold back!"

Hinata lowered her head, her face flushed, but she nodded resolutely.

"Me...me too..."

"Sparring begins!"

With a command from Teacher Iruka.

The highly anticipated battle erupted instantly.
