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

Naruto pursed his lips and twisted his arm, trying to bring it back to life.

at this time.

Surrounded by admirers and surrounded by flowers, Sasuke Uchiha walked by indifferently, hands in his pockets and eyes closed.

"Hmph, bottom of the class, do you think you can turn things around with this kind of effort?"

Naruto was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage.

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

Sasuke Uchiha snorted and left without looking back.

"Damn it! That damn Sasuke! If my right hand wasn't crippled, I would have definitely challenged you to a duel!"

“Hiss…”

Just as he was filled with rage, a rapid, earthquake-like sound came from behind him.

Naruto looked back and saw Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka running towards him shoulder to shoulder and elbow to elbow, almost like conjoined twins, neither giving way to the other.

"Sakura sauce..."

When Naruto saw Sakura, his eyes lit up, as if all his fatigue and pain had disappeared.

however……

"Get out of the way, Naruto!"

Sakura Haruno pushed Naruto to the ground, and then wrestled with Ino Yamanaka as they chased after Sasuke.

Naruto stood up again, dusted himself off, and snorted as he watched Sasuke's retreating figure.

"They all only like Sasuke."

"Once I become Hokage, I'll make you all look at me with new eyes! Hmph, just you wait and see!"

"It hurts..."

Naruto rubbed his shoulders and arms as he walked toward the Ninja Academy classroom.

It wasn't time for class yet, and small groups of people were laughing and playing around in the classroom.

[Host detected...]

"Okay! I understand!"

"Isn't it just chakra refining technique?"

"I will begin my cultivation now!"

【…】

Naruto had gradually figured out the system's patterns. This time, before he could say anything, Naruto took the initiative to answer first and quickly entered a state of training.

Since no one cares about me anyway, I might as well take this opportunity to improve myself.

Chakra Refining Technique is the ability that Naruto is currently most proficient in.

With Kurama no longer causing trouble, Naruto's chakra extraction efficiency increased significantly.

His chakra reserves were already far greater than those of his peers, and now they are increasing even more.

even……

Now, Naruto can allow himself to drift off while practicing the Chakra Refining Technique.

This is what it means to have cultivated spiritual practice to the core, so that it can be done subconsciously.

"In just one month, he rose to the top ten in his class..."

"How is that possible!"

Naruto was extremely frustrated. Even with the system's help, this was simply impossible...

He has a deep understanding of his current level.

This is what is called self-awareness.

"Ah, right!"

"You can find someone to help you with tutoring!"

"Ah, I forgot about this move..."

"But who should we contact?"

The first person that came to his mind was, of course, Sakura Haruno.

While Sasuke is undoubtedly the best in the class, that's based on a comprehensive assessment. In terms of culture alone, Sakura Haruno is number one.

Not to mention……

A lewd smile crept onto Naruto's lips...

I've always liked Sakura the most...

That's killing two birds with one stone!

Before classes started, he practiced the Chakra Refining Technique for a long time.

Naruto carefully stopped, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he hadn't received any warnings from the system. He then happily went to find Sakura Haruno.

"Anossa, Anossa..."

"Sakura, can I ask you for a favor?"

Naruto clasped his hands together and pleaded.

Sakura Haruno, still annoyed by Sasuke's cold treatment, asked irritably, "What is it?!"

Naruto grinned and said, "It's... that..."

"Could you help me catch up on my studies?"

As soon as Naruto said that, not only Sakura Haruno, but everyone around looked over in astonishment.

The classroom suddenly became silent.

"What's wrong?"

Naruto scratched his head.

Sakura Haruno was also stunned for a moment, but then she realized that Naruto was just using this excuse to get closer to her.

She said impatiently, "Naruto, stop trying to pull my tricks!"

I will never like you!

After saying that, she turned and strode away.

Naruto froze on the spot.

A cold wind blew by.

A piece of white paper on the desk fluttered and fell to the ground.

His plan was so perfect that it only went off by a tiny little mishap.

That is, Sakura Haruno doesn't want to.

Desperate, Naruto hung his head like a defeated rooster and walked back dejectedly.

at this time.

"Naruto-kun..."

The faint sound of mosquitoes and flies is...

"Hmm? What's wrong, Hinata?"

The short-haired girl with white eyes didn't dare to look up at Naruto. She lowered her head, her face flushed, and her index fingers pointed slightly at each other. She wanted to say something, but couldn't utter a single word.

"Weird guy..."

Naruto pursed his lips and was about to turn and leave.

Hinata finally mustered up her courage: "Um, that..."

"Naruto-kun, if you really want to get extra lessons..."

"I...I can help you..."

Naruto stopped abruptly, his eyes lit up, and he turned around sharply, grinning.

"Really? Hinata?!"

Hinata quickly lowered her head again, blushing and not daring to look at Naruto's face, and just nodded shyly.

"great!"

Naruto knew that although Hinata's grades were not as good as Sakura's, they were still among the best.

With her tutoring, the chances of escaping the system's "minor punishment" are practically nonexistent!

"Thank you, Hinata!"

Naruto couldn't contain his excitement and stepped forward, grabbing Hinata's small hand.

"what--"

Hinata gasped in surprise, her face turning bright red as if she had a fever, her little head practically steaming...

"Hmm? Hinata, what's wrong?"

Hinata?!

……

Young Naruto would never have known that although he failed all his subjects, there was one subject in which he always got a perfect score.

That was Hinata's affection for him.

No matter the world, even if everything is turned upside down and the characters are completely reversed...

This has never changed.

Chapter 9 Look at Naruto!

Hinata's little heart couldn't take the sudden, intimate contact with Naruto holding her hand.

Her face turned bright red, her head felt hot, and she almost fainted.

Fortunately, Naruto's call brought her back to her senses.

But seeing Naruto's face so close to hers made Hinata blush and her heart flutter.

"Naruto, Naruto-kun, let go of my hand..."

Naruto then looked down and realized that he had been holding Hinata's hand tightly the whole time.

"Ah, I was so excited, I didn't notice..."

Hinata, what's wrong?

Hinata looked at her hands and breathed a sigh of relief, but a strange sense of loss also welled up in her heart.

She lowered her head, her face flushed, and said, "No, it's nothing..."

"Naruto-kun, tomorrow's the weekend, we can arrange a time and place for extra lessons..."

Naruto thought about it.

"Um……"

"Then let's have the make-up class in the morning. As for the location..."

"How about I come to your house?"

Hinata shook her head: "I'm afraid that won't work..."

Naruto said, "That's true, after all, he's helping me with my studies..."

"Then come to my house!"

Hinata's heart pounded wildly.
