Uzumaki Naruto felt that his classmates who had cats were more fickle than cats - he was clearly amused by his own grimace just now, but he immediately became angry and ignored him.

He wanted to reconcile with the other party, but he was caught by Mr. Iruka who stuck his head out to see the situation. In the end, he was punished to clean the training ground.

The blond boy walked back to the training ground three times a step.

As a result, from the beginning to the end, his classmates who were also standing in the punishment station did not even look at him. So in the end, he could only swing the big broom on the training ground with great depression, sweeping left and right, and finally simply threw the broom and threw it on the ground.

Sit down and lean against the tree with the target hanging on it and start to rest.

He wrinkled his face, carefully recalled his previous actions, and thought seriously: I... I really wanted to have a better relationship with Sasuke, but in the end... why did I end up forcing him to stand with me?

Then the little golden retriever, who "died before leaving the battlefield", held his head in pain, feeling that the world was really too cruel.

Holding him in my arms, he slowly fell asleep.

But, you can’t really blame him, right?

After all, Uzumaki Naruto didn't sleep well last night because he was thinking about something. Now it happens to be spring, the breeze is blowing, the sun is warm, and he is lying under the big tree again at this moment...

Iruka, who came over to watch after class because he was worried because he saw this scene, was immediately angry and funny. Finally, he took off his green vest and covered it with the blond boy under the tree. Then he shook his head and turned around.

leave.

Not far away...

Mizuki who was passing by looked at this scene silently, raised the corner of his mouth, and said softly: Iruka, is it because of this kind of hypocrisy that you have won the favor of the three generations? It's really hard work.

However, as Iruka turned around...

The expression on Mizuki's face suddenly became extremely warm again. He smiled and raised his hand and took the initiative to say hello to the young man not far away.

Uzumaki Naruto fell asleep.

I slept directly until lunch break.

During the lunch break, the Ninja School was full of students looking for a place to eat. Naturally, the little golden retriever, who was sleeping soundly with his eyes closed and drool hanging from his mouth, was also awakened.

"...Huh?" He opened his eyes in confusion, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and said "Ah?" as if he was wondering why he was here. After a moment, he realized what he was doing and looked down.

The green vest covering his body, after being stunned for a moment, a bright smile appeared on his face, he jumped up holding it, and ran towards the teaching building with great joy, shouting as he ran, "Ilu

Teacher Ka——————”

Thank you for the clothes!!!

I'm here to pay it back!!!

Iruka, who was eating instant noodles in the office, suddenly choked: "Ahem, cough, cough..." Then he took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, thinking with black lines on his head, why is this kid Naruto always so startled?

Shuimu, who was passing by, put a can of drink on his table and said with pretending concern: "Why did you suddenly choke? Come on, have a drink."

"Ah, thank you." Iruka gratefully picked up the drink, opened it and took two sips angrily before he finally calmed down his cough. Then, he saw a careless little golden retriever rushing to the door of his office -

—

"Iruka-sensei!"

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"I'm here to return your clothes! Thank you, teacher!"

"You're welcome." Iruka paused and asked, "You just woke up? Don't forget to have lunch."

"Um."

"By the way, what do you have for lunch?"

"I...I'm going to buy instant noodles later." Uzumaki Naruto sniffed the aroma of instant noodles in the room and showed a greedy expression. But this was obviously a lie. He wouldn't have any living expenses until next time.

Eat lunch. He was worried that the teacher would notice something unusual, so he immediately waved and ran away, "Then I'm going to buy instant noodles! Iruka-sensei, goodbye!" Iruka-sensei is a good person and always invites him to eat ramen.

He always had a big appetite, and sometimes he would get so greedy that he couldn't restrain himself and gave the teacher a headache. However, every time the teacher didn't say anything, he just touched his head after paying and said, "Naruto, after eating so much

If you have more, you should take good care of your health."

...So, you can't always cause trouble to the teacher.

It's just a few days without lunch, it doesn't mean anything.

After Uzumaki Naruto ran out for a short distance, he stopped, clutching his gurgling belly, and decided to drink some more water to satisfy his hunger.

at the same time.

In the office.

Mizuki leaned against Iruka's table, tilted his head and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the children will graduate soon."

"Yeah." Iruka immediately took the noodles and chopsticks and showed a slightly sad expression, "Unknowingly..." Although the children were very happy, he, as an adult, knew very well that becoming a ninja was not a bad thing.

But, it's definitely not that good.

"According to past practice, the assessment item this time will most likely be the art of body splitting. Do you think the kid just now can graduate successfully?"

Iruka: "..." If it's a test on the transformation technique, there's still something to be gained. After all, the kid seems to be very talented in this area, but the body splitting technique... He showed a difficult expression and murmured.

, "Should we continue to teach him for another year..."

A trace of sarcasm flashed in Mizuki's eyes: Naive and stupid guy, don't forget what that guy's "body" is. How could the village prevent him from graduating? Even if he couldn't pass it at the time, he would definitely be given a chance to make up the exam, right?

At that time... maybe there will be a good opportunity...

In the Hokage's office.

Sandai was smoking a cigarette, looking down at Mizuki in the crystal ball, thinking: Well, not bad, this is a good opportunity...

The mantis stalks the cicada, followed by the oriole.

Just at this moment...

"Dong dong dong——"

There was a knock on the door of the Hokage's office.

"Come in." After the third generation said this, he showed a kind smile to the silver-haired masked young man who opened the door, "It's Kakashi."

"Yes, Mr. Third Generation, why did you ask people to find me?"

"Ah, there's nothing else to do. I just want you to see the future students in advance. Come on."

"...Okay." Hatake Kakashi took a breath inconspicuously, walked to the desk, looked down, and then saw...

Amid the screams of the girls, Uchiha Sasuke climbed out of the window again and left the classroom.

"Oh hehehe," the third generation joked with a smile, "Kakashi, I remember you liked to do this when you were studying. Isn't it a common problem among geniuses to not like to walk in the door?" He remembered, for many years, many years.

Years ago... The first generation didn't like to leave the house occasionally, and because of this, he was scolded by the teacher from time to time. In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed... The first generation, teacher, the current Konoha is still in line with what you once said.

expectations?

"...Sandaime-sama," a drop of cold sweat fell from the forehead of the silver-haired young man, "Forget about the past. At that time, I was... well, I was still young, so I couldn't care less." To be honest, the current Uchiha Sasuke and the past him

There is indeed some resemblance, so seeing each other at this moment, it feels a bit like "publicly exposing dark history and execution".

Sandai recovered from his sudden thoughts and said with a smile: "There's nothing wrong with that. Geniuses always have privileges." He likes geniuses quite a lot, whether they are sensible, ignorant, smart, or stupid.

The cautious, the adventurous...all have their rightful place.

Then the two of them continued to observe the crystal ball together——

Uchiha Sasuke rolled out of the classroom window, hesitating whether to buy some bread or go back again... In fact, he preferred the latter, because the food cooked by the cats was really delicious and to his liking.

However, running back for two days in a row, as if begging them to cook for him, made him mentally difficult to get over this hurdle.

Don't ask, I'm just tired of asking.

However, as soon as he opened it, he heard a cry of "meow~".

Uchiha Sasuke subconsciously raised his head and saw four cats squatting on a tree trunk not far away, each with a small package on their back. The smallest but older sister, Dosha, was waving her paws and "meowing" at him.

Called, beckoning him to come over.

So he subconsciously ran over quickly. When he reached the tree, he realized that his attitude seemed a bit eager. So he looked aside and tried to ask in a calm tone: "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to bring you food~" Miyako replied in a lively tone, "I'm sorry, little Sasuke, I didn't get a positive answer when I asked you before, so I came over without permission. But what I thought was that since you didn't refuse directly at that time

, then maybe, it’s not so objectionable..."

"..." After the young man was stunned for a moment, he pursed his lower lip slightly and whispered, "It doesn't matter, it's not a big deal."

"Soga..." Daizi Miao nodded with a smile, "Then let's find a place to eat."

"This is it." Uchiha Sasuke looked around and said decisively - anyway, where he was, almost no one else would come over. In the past, there were occasionally people who wanted to come over, but he refused.

The more times you do it, the less people will understand it.

...Although occasionally, some girls are still annoying.

"Okay~" Dai Zi Miao then dropped from the sky carrying a small package.

The young man subconsciously reached out his hand and caught the soft body of the little milk cat. He couldn't hold it back and touched it again, feeling in his heart: It feels so good... Bean paste is really the best among these cats.

The best one to touch.

at the same time.

The other three cats also landed on top of him nimbly.

Shisui-nymph landed on Uchiha Sasuke's left shoulder, Itachi-nymph landed on his right shoulder, and Sasuke-nymph stepped on his head with an arrogant look.

"...Hey." Sasuke Uchiha said with a dark face, "Come down."

Sasuke let out a "tsk" sound, jumped up and landed on the ground - his head was so fried that it was not easy to step on and it pierced the flesh pad.

After a while...

Uchiha Sasuke sat down cross-legged under the tree.

Several cats also took off the small packages behind them and unwrapped them. It must be said that they were well prepared - fish, shrimp, beef, three or four kinds of green vegetables, white rice with good texture, cooked and delicious

Fish soup and after-meal fruits that looked very expensive.

"...a lot." Uchiha Sasuke looked down at the things piled on the ground in front of him and said, "I can't eat so much by myself." He noticed that several cats didn't seem to bring their own tableware, that is,

Said they didn't plan to eat together.

"So at times like this, you need a helper!" Miaozou covered his mouth with a meat pad and smiled, then suddenly pawed towards the grass beside him, "Little Naruto, do you want to eat together~"

Uchiha Sasuke: "..."

Before he could react, he saw a dirty golden retriever pop out of the grass, ran all the way in front of them, squatted down and stuck out his tongue "hahaha".

Uzumaki Naruto squatted in front of several cats and said a little embarrassedly: "Really, do you really want to treat me to lunch?" His original intention was just to talk to them again, but if he could eat their cooking again,

, that would definitely be better...

"Of course." Meowth answered with a tilt of his head, "I was thinking about bringing food to little Sasuke, and the more I thought about it, the more excited I became, and I accidentally cooked too much. It is better to eat the food as a meal, as the remaining food will be less nutritious.

So, thanks to you, little Naruto, we can avoid having leftover food ~ Thank you."

Uzumaki Naruto: "..." He didn't know why, but he suddenly felt his nose was a little sore, so he sniffed, then raised his hand and rubbed his nose. Finally, he showed a bright smile and gave a thumbs up,

"You're welcome! Just leave it all to me!"

at the same time……

Hokage's office.

The silver-haired, masked young man stared sharply at the black little cat talking in the crystal ball, and had one thought in his mind -

I found the "Selling Immortal Jump" cat that defrauded me of five hundred taels.
Chapter completed!
