"Chiu~"
!!!!!!
〣( oΔo )〣
Their two lips were tightly pressed together, but they seemed to react instantly and separated immediately. They kept wiping their mouths with their hands, afraid that their mouths would rot if they were a second late.
"Pah! Pah! Pah!"
Damn it! Why did the kissing scene happen earlier?!
It was all because there were too many people around him just now. His current weak body couldn't match his sharp reflexes, so he suffered such a great misfortune.
Sasuke was wiping his mouth on the side in disgust, wishing he could wipe off his whole mouth. Naruto was also there, sticking out his tongue constantly. The looks of the girls in the class seemed to become tangible and pierce his back.
He turned to look at those angry looks, and his heart turned cold as he stepped back.
"Naruto, you bastard, how dare you steal Sasuke's first kiss!"
Sasuke's face darkened. Damn it, what first kiss! It was taken by the same person in two lifetimes. Even if he didn't care, it still made him lose face!
"What are you doing! I didn't wanna kiss that self - centered, cocky guy! Someone pushed me just now."
No one listened to his defense. Instead, it aroused the anger of everyone. They rushed up, waving their arms and legs, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
Teacher Iruka looked at the terrible atmosphere.
Ah, it's them again!
He gently stroked his throbbing forehead.
"Sasuke, Naruto, you two will be in a group!"
"Ah~ Teacher Iruka, I want to challenge this show - off guy. I don't want to be in a group with him!"
?_?
"Idiot, do you think I want to be in a group with you!"
Teacher Iruka looked at the two who were at odds with each other and shouted loudly.
"You two trouble - makers are so noisy. Everyone else has already chosen their partners. You two, stop wasting class time!"
Feeling the saliva sprayed by the furious teacher, the two of them could only reluctantly agree while still disliking each other.
"By the way, the group with the worst score in this test has to stay after school to continue practicing!"
"Ah~ Why is it like this~ Teacher Iruka! I don't want to be kept after school!"
"Haha, what are you worried about? The last place will definitely be Naruto!"
"But he's in a group with Sasuke. Sasuke is always good at [Kunai] throwing. What if they aren't the last?"
"Impossible, impossible! Naruto is such a good - for - nothing. Even the strongest genius can't carry him!"
"Haha, that's true!"
Hearing the endless mockery around him, Naruto was filled with anger.
You bastards, just wait! He's going to be the [Hokage]. He must hit all the targets and shock everyone!
As the test went on, Sasuke picked up a [Kunai] and gently threw it forward with a flick of his wrist. The [Kunai] precisely hit the very center of the bullseye.
"10 points for the first one."
"Ah~ Sasuke is so amazing!"
Teacher Iruka nodded in satisfaction and recorded Sasuke's score.
"Sasuke, you really live up to being from the [Uchiha clan]. Your performance is excellent!"
"Tsk tsk, a genius is really different."
A student hugged his head and sighed.
"Damn it, I'm definitely going to be last.
He shot the last arrow, hitting the bullseye every time and scoring 50 points.
He raised his eyebrows and provoked Naruto.
"It's your turn. Don't let us down, future Hokage!"
Naruto looked at those who were mocking him.
"Just wait! I'll hit every single one of them!"
....................
(▼ヘ▼#)
He'd been careless!
He'd thought he could relax with himself around, but he didn't expect their team to come in last among all the groups.
After school, Sasuke and Naruto were kept behind to continue practicing. By the time they finished, the others had long gone home.
"Humph!"
"What are you 'humphing' about, you good-for-nothing! You couldn't hit the target with five kunai, not even the wooden stake. You still have the nerve to 'humph' here!"
He didn't know what kind of expression was on his own face. Looking at Naruto, who was useless at everything, he felt a kind of frustration that iron wouldn't turn into steel.
He and Naruto bickered with each other and walked out of the Ninja Academy gate. They saw Itachi waiting there to take him home.
"Brother, why do you have time to pick me up?"
Itachi, who was already a Chunin, was usually very busy. He didn't expect him to have time to pick him up today.
"I haven't picked you up from school for a long time. But why did you come out so late today? I saw other students were picked up by their parents long ago."
Looking at his elder brother's worried eyes, he got angry! If it weren't for being on a team with Naruto, he'd have been home by now.
By the way, where was Naruto?
He turned around and looked around. He saw a lonely yellow figure sitting on the swing in front of the Ninja Academy, swaying slowly. His blue pupils were full of loneliness, and only the shadow under the setting sun was stretched infinitely long.
Sasuke frowned, feeling a little pity. He was the Hokage, the hero of Konoha Village. He shouldn't be treated like this!
Itachi looked in the direction Sasuke was looking.
That child.
The forbidden child.
Their family was already under suspicion from the high - ups in Konoha. Getting too close to the forbidden child at this time was not good for the whole family.
"Sasuke..."
Without waiting for Itachi to finish speaking, he walked straight towards Naruto.
"What do you want?!"
"Are you here to pick a fight with me because you were dragged down by me in class and got angry?!"
Naruto nervously grabbed the ropes of the swing, his eyes on guard as he shrank back.
Why was his way of thinking always so strange? Looking at Naruto's thin body, after all, he was just a child now, not the all - powerful Seventh Hokage.
"Alone?"
"What do you want?"
"Well, if you're alone, why don't you come to my house for dinner."
Thinking that it was the first time in two lifetimes that he'd invited Naruto, his hand unconsciously stroked his nose.
"Eh!"
The blue eyes of the yellow - haired boy suddenly sparkled like stars, and the whole person became lively. He carefully asked.
"Really... is it really okay?"
"Stop talking nonsense and come with me quickly!"
Naruto happily smiled and quickly ran behind Sasuke.
"What? So you wanted to be friends with me. You should have said so earlier!"
I'm extremely generous!"
It was also the first time Sasuke had invited someone. Looking at Naruto approaching him, his face flushed slightly. He could only quickly urge his brother to go home.
"Shut up!"
"Brother, let's go home."
Itachi watched Sasuke and Naruto frolicking around. For some reason, he felt a pang of loneliness at that moment.
It seemed that Sasuke had grown up. The little brother who had always loved to stick to him was about to leave his embrace.
.....................
"Sasuke, why did Itachi come back so late today?"
Mikoto heard the commotion at the door and quickly came out smiling to greet them. But when she saw Naruto, she was slightly taken aback.
"Ah, this is..."
"Mother, this is Naruto!"
"Sorry to trouble you, auntie!"
His big eyes were filled with excitement. This was the first time he had been invited to a friend's home.
"Oh... come in quickly. You came back so late that the food is almost cold!"
Naruto looked around at the magnificent mansion with its classic Japanese courtyard. It was imposing and spacious.
"Your house is so big! The garden and the pond are so beautiful!"
"Really?"
Although Sasuke felt a bit nostalgic when he first came to this world and saw his own house, after staying for a while, he thought it was no different from an ordinary family, right?
Looking at that nonchalant expression, ah, he's truly worthy of being the young master of a wealthy family. He's really different!
When everyone entered the dining room, Fugaku Uchiha was already sitting upright at the dinner table. He looked up at the newcomers. When his eyes landed on Naruto, he frowned involuntarily but quickly regained his composure.
"Father, this is Naruto."
"Sorry to trouble you, uncle!"
Naruto carefully sized up the imposing man and greeted him.
"Is he your classmate?"
"Yes, he's here to visit today."
"Since you're here, sit down and have dinner with us."
"Okay, thank you, uncle!"
Looking at the table full of delicious and sumptuous dishes, Naruto couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He clasped his hands together and said loudly.
"Let's dig in!" Then he started to wolf down the delicious food.
The food cooked by Sasuke's mother was not only delicious but also gave a warm feeling.
"Haha, slow down, kid. There's more if you're still hungry."
"Thank you, auntie!"
"Ah, Naruto, you're so messy. Don't talk while eating. You're spitting out your food!"
Naruto mumbled something. Sasuke couldn't hear clearly because he was eating. But in just a short while, his rice bowl was already empty.
"One more bowl!"
