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

"Naruto-kun, congratulations..."

Her eyes sparkled with a brilliant light.

Although Ino was shocked, she also felt a sense of satisfaction when she glanced at Hinata.

Although she didn't want to see Sasuke lose, seeing Naruto win was a kind of perfect ending in itself...

At least that's true for Naruto and Hinata.

As for everyone else…

She couldn't help but look at Sakura Haruno.

Sakura was still in shock and amazement, unable to pull herself out of it, and even forgot to help and take care of Sasuke. It was Iruka-sensei who went to check on Sasuke's condition.

"How could this be? Sasuke-kun actually lost..."

"And he lost to that Naruto guy?!"

Sakura's reaction actually represents the thoughts of the vast majority of people.

But Iruka-sensei calmed Naruto down and solemnly announced the final result.

"The winner is..."

"Uzumaki Naruto!"

Naruto immediately beamed with joy, cheering and jumping for joy, even running around the entire training ground. It seemed that much of the chakra and stamina he had just expended had been restored...

However, Sasuke seemed to have fallen into the abyss of hell.

The expression on his face was terrifying.

Although his Sharingan had been closed, his eyes were still blood-red, burning with the fury of resentment and despair!

"Naruto!"

Teacher Iruka hurriedly said, "The outcome is decided. Please form the seal of reconciliation!"

However, Sasuke roared and ran away without looking back.

Teacher Iruka stretched out his arm as if to dissuade someone.

But then it was taken back.

He understood that with Sasuke's aloof and arrogant personality, losing to Naruto in public would be difficult for him to accept for a while, so letting him vent his anger and calm down was the best course of action.

He sighed and continued with the next round of ninja sparring.

Of course, under the brilliance of Naruto and Sasuke, any other battle seemed as childish and laughable as children playing house.

Soon, the entire final exam period came to a complete end.

Teacher Iruka said, "The final grade is a total assessment that includes all three evaluations."

"The results will be out tomorrow."

"Let's call it a day..."

Upon hearing his words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed, and dispersed in small groups.

Naruto, however, went to Iruka-sensei.

"Anossa, Anossa..."

"Teacher Iruka, I'm sure I can make it into the top ten this time, right?!"

He stared wide-eyed, his eyes bright and expectant as he looked at Teacher Iruka.

"I didn't know until the results came out."

Seeing Naruto's somewhat disappointed expression.

Iruka-sensei smiled slightly and patted Naruto's head.

"However, I believe there won't be any problems!"

Naruto was overjoyed: "Great!"

"So many days of hard work have finally paid off!"

"I don't have to be..."

At this point, I couldn't finish the sentence.

Although Iruka-sensei was a little curious, he didn't ask any further questions.

He glanced at the retreating figures of the scattering crowd in the distance and sighed.

"Naruto, why don't you go and have a proper talk with Sasuke?"

"With Sasuke?"

"Yes, I'm very happy for you that you were able to beat him, but..."

"Sasuke is probably deeply affected by this, and I fear he might become so consumed by it that he won't be able to pull himself out of it..."

Naruto only vaguely understood what he was hearing.

But he shook his head.

“Iruka-sensei, I know what you want to say, but if I go to comfort Sasuke, it will probably be the worst outcome…”

"Won't he get even angrier if he sees me?"

Iruka-sensei had a sudden realization; given Sasuke's temperament, that was indeed the case...

Not only was she defeated by Naruto, but she also had to receive his sympathy and comfort...

He'd probably just explode, right?!

"Sigh, that's true..."

"Then I'll go talk to him."

Iruka-sensei changed his expression: "By the way, Naruto, you've finally defeated Sasuke. How are you feeling now?"

Naruto didn't hesitate at all.

"Of course I'm happy!"

"This is absolutely the best day of my life!"

Teacher Iruka smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Even so, Sasuke will definitely try to get revenge, so you can't let your guard down!"

Naruto nodded: "I know!"

"Neither Sasuke nor I will admit defeat. He lost this time, so he'll definitely fight tooth and nail. I have to work even harder!"

"Besides, I don't only have Sasuke as my target now, I also have that bastard Neji Hyuga!"

Teacher Iruka's heart skipped a beat.

"Hyuga Neji?"

"Indeed, he was a top student in the previous year, and in terms of current strength, he should indeed be above Sasuke..."

"In short, it's good that you have goals, but that doesn't mean you should become enemies. After all, we're all comrades of Konoha Village..."

Naruto clenched his fist: "I know Iruka-sensei!"

"Precisely because they are fellow villagers, those muddle-headed bastards need to be woken up by my own hands!"

Teacher Iruka smiled.

"Alright, I need to go grade the papers now, and I also need to find some time to talk to Sasuke..."

"Bye-bye, Iruka-sensei!"

Naruto chuckled and prepared to return home to continue his training.

At this moment, the way all the teachers and students at the Ninja Academy looked at Naruto was completely different.

Originally at the bottom of the class, he suddenly rose to prominence and became an overnight sensation!

They even managed to defeat Uchiha Sasuke!

Now no one dares to underestimate Naruto.

at this time.

"Naruto!"

A vibrant voice called out from behind.

Naruto turned around and saw Rock Lee.

"Li! How did your exam go?!"

Rock Lee rushed forward, scratched his head and laughed: "Hahaha, so-so!"

"I'm not very good at academic subjects, let alone ninjutsu..."

"I did win in ninja sparring, but unfortunately, I didn't run into Neji..."

"The overall score is estimated to be at the bottom..."

"And you, Naruto?"

Naruto grinned smugly: "Hehe, I'm not a loser anymore!"

"I should be able to easily make it into the top ten!"

Rock Lee couldn't help but admire him: "Naruto, you're really amazing..."

"Not long ago, he was at the bottom of the class just like me. He's improved so fast in such a short time!"

"Is this the ultimate expression of youth?!"

Naruto didn't know what the ultimate meaning of youth was, but it sounded pretty good.

"Oh! I think so!"

Just then, that familiar yet unfamiliar figure reappeared before them.

It was Hyuga Neji.

"Hmph, how much ability do people who keep talking about youth actually have?"

"Is he just all talk and no action?"

Naruto was furious the moment he saw Neji, and his sarcasm only fueled his anger.

"You bastard Hyuga Neji, what did you say?!"

"Want to fight?!"

Just then, another gentle and timid voice came from behind.

"Naruto, Naruto-kun..."

"And... Neji-nii?!"

Chapter 72 Neji and Hinata! We are all caged birds! Please vote with monthly tickets!!!

That voice, without a doubt, belonged to Hinata.

She and Ino were about to go home together when they heard Naruto and Neji arguing, and she couldn't help but call out.

After all, both of these people are closely related to him.

"What, what are you doing..."

In Hinata's eyes, Naruto was furious and ready to roll up his sleeves and start a fight.

Neji Hyuga remained indifferent and gloomy, looking at him with disdain.

Without a doubt, a major war is about to break out.

Naruto glanced at her: "Hinata?"

"That bastard is always provoking us!"

"And it wasn't just me, he... he included you too..."
