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

Page 97

But he also knew that he couldn't expose his selfish motives too much.

He coughed and continued his announcement.

"Second place, Uchiha Sasuke!"

"Third place, Hinata Hyuga!"

"Fourth place, Sakura Haruno!"

"Fifth place, Yamanaka Ino!"

"Sixth place, Aburame Shino!"

……

"Eleventh place, Kiba Inuzuka!"

……

"Thirty-second place, Akimichi Choji!"

……

"Fiftieth place, Nara Shikamaru!"

Finally, the results were announced, and only Shikamaru remained as steady as ever.

Teacher Iruka sighed, and his eyes became somewhat moist.

He said emotionally, "Everyone, from today onwards, you have officially graduated from the Ninja Academy..."

"Congratulations."

Everyone cheered and jumped for joy. Books flew everywhere in the classroom, creating a noisy and bustling atmosphere.

Teacher Iruka smiled.

"However, this is not the end, but just the beginning..."

"From now on, you will be true ninjas, no longer students."

"The life of a ninja is extremely cruel, and the various missions are even more dangerous. It will no longer be a peaceful harbor like the ninja academy. Each of you will face a test of life and death..."

"Your teacher hopes that you can all work even harder so that you can better survive in this cruel world..."

"You are all excellent students with bright futures. I wish you all smooth sailing and that you will realize your dreams!"

Everyone's eyes welled up with tears.

"Teacher Iruka, that's too emotional!"

"Don't do this, Teacher Iruka! Do you have to make us cry?!"

Iruka secretly wiped away his tears and forced a dry laugh.

"Haha, sorry, sorry, it just slipped out without my noticing..."

Naruto was deeply moved. He then realized that he was about to leave the Ninja Academy and become a ninja, and that he would probably see Iruka-sensei less and less after that...

He couldn't help but feel extremely sad and reluctant to part with it.

"Iruka-sensei..."

Iruka-sensei also glanced at Naruto as if by chance and saw the tears in the corners of his eyes. His heart trembled as well, but he quickly concealed it.

"Haha, okay, okay, let's not talk about these sentimental things anymore!"

"Ahem, now let's get down to business!"

"Starting now..."

"Ninja Squads!"

The noisy classroom fell silent instantly.

Everyone knows what this means.

Being assigned to a squad signifies the true beginning of becoming a ninja. You will be personally led by an rank-up officer, carrying out various missions while improving your own strength.

Which class they will be assigned to, who their teammates will be, and more importantly, what kind of Jonin will lead them—these are things that everyone is eagerly anticipating and curious about.

Teacher Iruka scanned the entire class before beginning the final pronouncement.

Naruto's heart started pounding wildly.

"I wonder who I'll be in the same class with..."

"It doesn't matter, as long as it's not that bastard Sasuke!"

"As for the Jonin leading the team, it's a pity it won't be the 'Thick Eyebrows' teacher anymore, but I heard that Asuma-sensei will be leading the team this year, so I hope I can be assigned to his team!"

Hinata gently touched her little fingers together, silently praying.

"Xi hopes to be on the same team as Naruto-kun..."

"But... even if it's not possible, it's okay. I just hope Naruto-kun will be alright..."

Sakura Haruno: "As long as I'm in the same class as Sasuke-kun, nothing else matters!"

"Please, God!"

Ino Yamanaka: "It would be best to be on a team with Sasuke, but if that's not possible, being on a team with Hinata would be nice too!"

Uchiha Sasuke: "Hmph, as long as it's not that loser, I don't care who it is!"

Although Naruto was already in first place, Sasuke still called him the bottom of the class in his heart.

Everyone had their own agenda, and for a moment, there was complete silence; you could even hear everyone's heartbeats.

Teacher Iruka said in a deep voice, "Ahem, the first team..."

"Team Seven!"

"The Jonin leading the team is Kakashi Hatake!"

"The ninja assigned to Team 7 is..."

"Uzumaki Naruto!"

"Sasuke Uchiha!"

"besides……"

"Hinata Hyuga!"

"Uzumaki Naruto!"

Naruto felt a jolt when he heard his name called.

"Me? Team 7, the Jonin leading the team is..."

"Kakashi Hatake?!"

Naruto knew this person; he had previously learned bits and pieces of information about him from Might Guy and Asuma.

From Naruto's perspective, which he only vaguely understood...

That guy looks a lot like Sasuke!

A young genius with exceptional talent, renowned throughout the ninja world, but with a gloomy and cold personality, seemingly having suffered some major blow...

Naruto pouted, looking a little unhappy.

"It's not Asuma-sensei..."

"This Kakashi Hatake doesn't seem like he'll be very fun..."

"But as long as it helps me become stronger, that's enough."

"So, who are my teammates?"

"Please, please don't let it be Sasuke!"

"I hope one is Hinata, and the other one..."

"Hmm... In terms of relationships, Choji or Shikamaru would be the best, but both of them are too lazy!"

Just as Naruto was lost in thought...

"Sasuke Uchiha!"

He heard the name instantly and was struck dumb.

"what!"

"Why did it have to be that bastard Sasuke?!"

Naruto held his head in his hands, looking like he'd just eaten shit.

But Sasuke also looked constipated.

"Why did it have to be that bottom-of-the-class student?!"

Hinata, Sakura, and Ino were all moved.

Are Naruto and Sasuke on the same team?

"This...this is to make them compete against each other?"

"Sasuke-kun! I want to join Team 7 too! Even if Naruto is there!"

"Naruto and Sasuke? I can go too..."

But this time.

"Hinata Hyuga!"

Teacher Iruka announced the last spot.

Naruto was stunned for a moment, then cheered excitedly.

"amazing!"

Hinata was stunned for a moment, her face turning red with a mixture of shyness and excitement.

"Am I in the same class as Naruto-kun?"

“That’s…that’s great…”

The thought of fighting side by side with Hinata in the future, traveling together day and night, made Hinata's heart flutter, her body feel hot, and her face flush and heart pound.

Ino covered her mouth and chuckled to herself.

"Hinata, congratulations! You've got what you wanted!"

Hinata blushed and lowered her head, wanting to deny it, but even she couldn't convince herself...

Sakura Haruno had a furrowed brow and her face was deathly pale.

"Is it Hinata?"

"That means I can't be with Sasuke anymore..."

For her, it was like the sky had fallen, a complete and utter despair...

Uchiha Sasuke didn't care.

Naruto has already been assigned, so does it matter who the third person is?!

Naruto's thoughts, however...

"At worst, I'll go on missions with Hinata. As for Sasuke, let him do whatever he wants!"

Although Ino herself wanted to be on Sasuke's team, she could accept this ending.
