A new day.
At Academy.
Naruto got up early in the morning and rushed to the classroom. His whole figure exudes longing and expectation for the future from within.
‘Finally, I graduated!’
‘Finally, I don’t have to see that pretentious bastard, Sasuke, anymore!’
‘Finally, it was the day of team allocation. If I can get into the sa team with Sakura, it would be perfect!’
‘When the ti cos, I and Sakura could be together day and night, grow fond of each other over ti, and walk hand in hand into the halls of marriage, while that idiot Sasuke could only cry in the corner and watch us, blessing us…’
‘Aiya, how delightful~’
“Hehehehe…”
Naruto's fox-like whiskers trembled with laughter, and drool even dripped from his mouth!
Just as Naruto was getting carried away, a proud voice ca from behind him: “Hey, Naruto, you idiot, could you pay attention to the occasion? You're drooling all over the place.”
Without needing to turn around, Naruto knew it was Inuzuka Kiba, who always scared people with his dog all day long.
“You're the idiot!”
Naruto wiped off the drool and turned around to glare at him fiercely, then said, “If you keep on babbling, I'll eat your dog!”
“You bastard! Akamaru is not just a dog! He's my most important partner! If you insult him again, I'll never forgive you!” Kiba was furious.
Akamaru, lying on top of his head, also barked angrily, with a fierce montum!
It’s just that Akamaru hasn’t grown up yet, so no matter how he barked, he only gave people a sense of silly cuteness.
Naruto rolled his eyes, and said with a chuckle: “Akamaru is your most important partner? Oh, I see. So for you, Shikamaru and Choji are not even as good as a dog, huh?”
Shikamaru, who didn’t expect to be attacked even while lying down, rolled his eyes, ‘Although it's annoying, it's none of my business.’
As he ate potato chips, Choji glanced at Akamaru from the corner of his eye and secretly swallowed his saliva, ‘So delicious!’
Next to him, Shino pushed up the sunglasses on his nose and thought to himself, ‘This idiot Naruto, he forgot about again, hmph!’
Kiba, on the other hand, was about to explode with rage, and roared: “I didn't say that! And Akamaru is not a dog, he's a Ninken, a Ninken, a NINKEN!! He's the most important partner of our Inuzuka Clan! You jerk, stop diverting the topic!”
“What? I’m just joking around, why are you so angry?” Seeing Kiba in a rage, Naruto felt a little guilty, holding his hands behind his head, he whistled nonchalantly.
‘Idiot!’
Sasuke, sitting by the window, sneered disdainfully.
“Sasuke-kun looks so cool when he sneers~~”
Sakura, Karin, Ino and the other girls, who were always paying attention to Sasuke suddenly had heart-shaped eyes.
At this mont, their horoom teacher, Iruka, walked in with a form in hand, “Good morning, everyone! First of all, congratulations to you for successfully passing the graduation exam…”
As soon as Iruka ca in, he started with a sentintal speech, but Naruto, who didn't give face, shouted to interrupt him, asking him to quickly announce the team allocation list.
‘Sigh…’
Iruka covered his head, ‘With Naruto's personality, I wonder if Tenzo can handle it.’
“Alright, let's announce the team allocation list next.”
Iruka picked up the form and said, “First, Team 15, Haruno Sakura…”
‘Is it my turn already…’ Sakura's eyes lit up, silently praying in her heart, ‘Sasuke, Sasuke, Sasuke, Sasuke…’
While Naruto, next to her, silently recited his own na, ‘Naruto, Naruto, Naruto, Naruto…’
“Yaichiro, and Harukamami Hayuki.” Iruka said.
‘ ‘Why?!’ ’
‘ ‘I’m not in the sa team with Sakura? / Sasuke is not in the sa team as ?’ ’
Both Naruto and Sakura were dumbfounded.
Ignoring the two drama queens, Iruka continued: “Team 14… Team 13… Team 10, Nara Shikamaru, Akimichi Choji, and Yamanaka Ino.”
“Shikamaru, that's great, we're in the sa team! Here.” Choji happily handed over the remaining potato chip bag in his hand.
Shikamaru reached out to grab so chips and said at the sa ti, “Making new friends is too much of a hassle. It's always most convenient to team up with familiar faces.”
‘But could this chip bag be any more fake?’
Shikamaru dug around for ages and didn't find a single chip. He couldn't help but sigh, “Plastic friendship.”
Choji wasn't embarrassed either and said with a chuckle: “Sorry, Shikamaru, I accidentally finished them all.”
Iruka continued reading: “Team 9… Team 8, Hyuga Hinata, Inuzuka Kiba, and Abura Shino.”
Upon hearing this, Naruto’s whole body is not good.
‘If I rembers correctly, the only ones whose nas hadn't been called yet are…’
“Next are Team, Uzumaki Karin, Namikaze Naruto, and Uchiha Sasuke.”
“Yeah!!!” Karin jumped up from her seat, shouting excitedly, taunting Ino, Sakura, and Ino with flirtatious looks from ti to ti, as if she already has Sasuke wrapped in her arms, infuriating Sakura and Ino, who were grinding their teeth and stamping their feet!
“Why is this happening?!”
Naruto was unhappy, and stood up and asked loudly, “Iruka-sensei, why am I, who is so outstanding, in the sa team as this guy Sasuke?”
“Naruto, your theoretical scores are at the bottom of the class, while Sasuke is first in the class.” Iruka said.
“But my actual combat performance is the highest in the class!” Naruto pouted, feeling very wronged!
“That’s why I put you in the sa team as Karin and Sasuke. I hope you can complent each other and make up for your shortcomings in theoretical knowledge.” Iruka said earnestly.
“Uh, okay…” Naruto sat back down, his features all crowded together because of his dissatisfaction.
And Sasuke next to him was also very unhappy!
‘Knowing that Naruto and I didn't get along, he still put us in the sa team. What is Iruka-sensei thinking…’ Sasuke’s brows tightly knit.
“Alright, everyone, gather here tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock sharp, and your Jonin Instructor will co to you at that ti. Dismissed!” As he said this, Iruka's tone couldn't help but carry a bit of sorrow and nostalgia. This batch of students was the first class he had ever taught, six years of ti, just thinking about it gave him a headache… Cough, it made him miss it, even though it had only been less than a day since they graduated.
Iruka sighed deeply, then looked at Naruto and the others, who were either happy, regretful, or aggrieved, as they walked out of the classroom one by one with a smile in his eyes.
“It’s finally over.” Iruka turned back to look at the empty classroom, couldn't help but stretch lazily, but his eyes were slightly red.
“Sigh…”
…
At the sa ti.
Land of Rice Fields, Otogakure.
Orochimaru finally completed the soft tissue transformation of his new body!
Now, whether it was his tongue, neck, hands, or feet, they could all be long, short, straight, or bent. Then, the next step is to use Chira Technique to fuse the Steel Release Kekkei Genkai to make his body both ‘steely’ and flexible!
At noon that day, Orochimaru brought the Iwagakure’s Shinobi to his bedroom, and then used the Chira Technique to ‘swallow’ him in in broad daylight!
It wasn't until late at night that the fusion was barely completed.
‘What a perfect body…’
Orochimaru closed his eyes and carefully sensed the changes inside his body. After Sharingan, he fused the Steel Release, and as expected, there was no rejection phenonon in his body.
“Steel Release: Impervious Armour!”
Orochimaru couldn't wait to use Steel Release, and his right hand's skin instantly turned to steel. He then stabbed it with kunai, making a clanging sound!
‘Now it's ti to test the ‘steel' and flexibility together.’
With a thought, Orochimaru's right hand rapidly extended like rubber and slamd into the wall in front of him.
‘Huh?’
Orochimaru's brow furrowed slightly. He saw that his right hand, inserted into the wall, was complete steel, but the stretching and shrinking parts below the fist and wrist were not covered by the Steel Release.
‘It seems that I need more practice.’
Orochimaru retracted his right hand, a hint of satisfaction creeping into his eyes.
