Sasuke had left Iruka-sensei at some point. He pushed me gently and said, "What's wrong with you? The problem has been solved, why do you look so serious?"

"I...maybe I'm entering a rebellious phase."

Sasuke: “?”

"The book says that children in their rebellious period will always rebel against adults and try to prove themselves... But when I grow up and look back at myself at that time, I will find it childish and ridiculous." I was a little confused: "Is my current decision actually childish and ridiculous?"

"I don't know anything else," Sasuke looked at Naruto who was excitedly demonstrating his ability to clone himself in front of Iruka, "but your decision to help Naruto can't be so childish. Helping a friend in trouble...how can it be wrong?"

Sasuke's comfort did make me feel better. I asked, "Come to think of it, why did you choose to help Naruto? You two always look like you don't like each other..."

"Do you want to hear the truth or lies?"

"Where are the lies?"

"Because you consider Naruto as family, you would be sad if anything happened to him."

I was stunned: "What about the truth?"

"Because I can't bear to see people bullying fools."

"real or fake?"

Sasuke glanced at me and said, "Idiot."

……

In the end, Naruto's sneaking into the Hokage's house to steal the scroll did not attract much attention.

Except for a very small number of ninjas who participated in tracking Naruto, most people had no idea that such a thing had happened in the village.

Not only did Naruto not receive any punishment, but the ninja school graduation exam that he had previously failed was also changed to passed.

I'm beginning to wonder if maybe Sasuke didn't have to deliberately let Mizuki attack him to prove his suspicious nature. The Hokage seems to trust Naruto more than we thought.

However, since Sasuke was involved, the Hokage said he wanted to meet him. Perhaps because I also participated in the battle, the Hokage also asked me to follow Sasuke.

The Third Hokage was a skinny and shriveled old man, and it seemed unlikely that he had once been as majestic and invincible as he was on the battlefield.

He kindly said some soothing words to Sasuke, then looked at me and asked gently, "Your name is Chaolu?"

I nodded.

"Looking at you... reminds me of a child from the past. Do you know Nohara Lin?"

I hesitated, "Kakashi-sensei told me about her."

"Kakashi-sensei...you will graduate this year, so you will be assigned to lead a jonin, right?"

"Yes."

"You want to join Kakashi's team?"

"Yes! And Kakashi-sensei also agreed to it."

The Third Hokage hesitated for a moment and said, "What if I say I'll give you a new teacher?"

"…Then I will dislike you, Hokage-sama."

Hearing this, he laughed with his pipe between his teeth: "Okay, okay, in that case, then it's Kakashi!"

Why on earth did he want to change my teacher, and why did he change his mind later?

Is it just to tease me for fun?

If that's the case, he's really mean!

Although he finally said that he would give me to Kakashi, the possibility revealed in his previous sentence still made me nervous for a long time.

But in the end, I actually wished he would find a new teacher for me. If Lord Shikamaru and Orochimaru's plan completely collapsed from here, maybe I could just ignore everything and go my own way, right?

On the day of the class division, I felt like I had nothing to lose and was in a desperate mood. I found a seat against the wall and sat down with a heavy heart.

today……

My fate is about to be revealed!

Whether the plan can continue or collapse completely depends on now!

"Morning dew..."

“Morning dew!!”

"Eh?"

I was immersed in my own thoughts, and suddenly came to my senses, only to find that Naruto had squatted on my desk without me knowing when.

He frowned at me, leaned his whole face forward, squinted his eyes and said, "What are you thinking about? I called you for a long time, but you ignored me."

"Ah I……"

I don’t even know what mood I’m in right now.

Can you say I was nervous? But I didn’t seem to care whether I would be assigned to Class 7 or not. But although I wasn’t nervous, I felt very anxious.

At this time, Sasuke frowned and stood up and tried to pull Naruto away: "Don't put your face so close to me, you bastard!"

Only then did I realize that Sasuke had sat down next to me without me noticing.

At this moment, Naruto suddenly exclaimed "Ah", his eyes widened in surprise, and his body leaned towards me, but the next second, a hand blocked my lips and pinched Naruto's cheek tightly.

Sasuke radiated chills and grabbed Naruto by the collar, pulling him away from my table.

"What do you want to do, you bastard? I told you not to get so close!"

"No, no!" Naruto tried to defend himself: "Someone pushed me from behind just now!!"

I looked down and saw a shadow flash by quickly, and the swarm of insects in the bell also shrank back silently.

Is everyone worried about Naruto falling? It turns out they all care about him that much.

The classroom suddenly became noisy, and I heard someone excitedly shouting, "What, what, is Sasuke going to teach that last-place guy a lesson?"

Soon, the rumors became more and more outrageous.

I heard someone say, "It seems like Naruto confessed his love to Asaro, so Sasuke has to fight him!"

"I heard that Naruto tried to confess his feelings but failed so he forced a kiss on Sasuke, which pissed him off!"

"Forced kiss? That's too much!"

"But what does this have to do with Sasuke?"

"Haven't you heard the rumor - Sasuke is said to like Asaro."

"Ah? No! Is that true?! I'm heartbroken!"

"I suspect they have been together for a long time. I saw them going to and from school together several times."

"But Chaolu would also go to and from school with that last-place guy! She and Sasuke just lived on the same road. Didn't the three of them go to and from school occasionally?"

"But how could Chaolu be with that loser? One is the handsome and powerful genius Sasuke, and the other is a loser. Anyone would definitely choose Sasuke!"

"That's true... But doesn't Asakaru like Shikamaru? It's said that Sasuke likes Asakaru, but Asakaru likes Shikamaru. I can't think of any way Shikamaru can compare to Sasuke."

The classmates around us were discussing gossip with great interest, but the content made me suspect that they might be talking about other people with the same name as us.

Why did Naruto confess to me just now?

He didn't intend to force the kiss!

Does going to and from school together mean being together? Isn't this too weird?

Since everything before was fake, then things like Sasuke liking me and I liking Shikamaru are probably all misunderstandings.

And... Shino has never been mentioned!? He is obviously my love partner?!

Just as Naruto and Sasuke were glaring at each other, Sensei Iruka finally arrived.

Sasuke and Naruto sat down again with unwilling looks on their faces. Because I sat against the wall, there was only one seat next to me, which was occupied by Sasuke. Naruto had to sit next to him and spoke to me through Sasuke: "Asaka! I really didn't mean it just now!"

But I no longer have the mind to think.

I stared at Iruka-sensei closely, listening to him say a lot of opening words, and then finally -

"First shift...Second shift...Third shift..."

Sasuke whispered, "Hey, are you okay? You don't look good."

I heard him speak but had no idea what he was saying.

"Class 4...Class 5..."

"Teacher." Sasuke suddenly raised his hand, interrupting Iruka-sensei: "Asaka seems to be feeling a little unwell. I want to take her to the infirmary."

I:"……"

I looked at Sasuke in disbelief - I am! I will soon hear the list of names that will decide my fate!

I was about to object when Iruka-sensei said, "Ah, is that so? Then I'll tell you about your class assignments in advance since it's almost your turn anyway. Team 7 - Asaka, Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke."

Naruto suddenly cheered: "That's great!!"

I also felt a sense of relaxation, but instead of pure joy, for some reason, there was another indescribable complex feeling filling my heart.

I looked at Sasuke and Naruto blankly, "Did I hear correctly?"

"That's right!" Naruto said excitedly, "We are a team! That's great!"

The two of them took my hands and led me out of the classroom. Although I was not sick, I did not sleep well last night. Anyway, the team leader would not come until the afternoon, so it would be better to leave early and go to the infirmary to take a nap.

I lay down on the bed in the infirmary, covered myself with the quilt, and Sasuke tucked the quilt corners for me.

"That's great," he smiled at me, "We didn't break up."
