Naruto: Naruto's Uchiha girlfriend is too tsundere

------

Naruto ate the bento that Kakashi had prepared in small bites. It tasted alright, but not as good as the one he made himself.

Looking at Satsuki beside him, who was somber and barely ate, and Sakura, who was tied to a wooden stake and had no lunchbox, Naruto never expected that Kakashi would still conduct this classic test in the end...

So, according to the "plot" development, Satsuki will probably take the risk and share her bento with Sakura next, right?

His thoughts drifted away. He recalled that in the original timeline, it was he who was tied to the pillar. And that seemingly cold and aloof Uchiha Sasuke had gambled his own future as a ninja, sharing his precious death with him when he was still a "loser."

It was at that moment that Sasuke's icy exterior cracked for the first time, allowing him to glimpse the gentleness and kindness hidden beneath.

Such a good child... but he was gradually driven into that state by Itachi Uchiha and hatred...

A complex mix of emotions welled up inside Naruto. Perhaps it was from the moment he shared the bento that he began to truly try to understand and like this seemingly cold but actually warm-hearted Uchiha.

On the other side, Sakura, tightly bound to the wooden stake, was experiencing waves of empty, cramping pain in her stomach. Although she had eaten the sandwich Naruto had prepared that morning, by noon, the hunger was still overwhelming.

She thought bitterly, hoping that being hungry wouldn't affect her performance in the bell-grabbing competition that afternoon... This time, I really can't let everyone down again!

However, the body is often honest.

"Goo~"

The cry came out from her abdomen at an extremely inopportune time, sounding particularly abrupt in the relatively quiet setting.

This incredibly embarrassing scene happened right in front of the person she admired… Sakura’s face instantly turned bright red, and she wished she could disappear into the ground. She lowered her head once again.

Just then, a hand holding a lunchbox was suddenly offered to her.

"Here, eat."

Sakura looked up in surprise and saw that Satsuki had stood up at some point and was handing her his bento.

"Hurry up, before that guy comes back," Zuo Yue added, glancing around at the surroundings.

"Wait, wait a minute! No need!" Sakura was flattered and quickly shook her head in refusal. "If Kakashi-sensei sees this, you'll be eliminated! I... I can't drag you down with me..."

"Don't overthink it," Zuo Yue interrupted her. "I just don't want you to be weak and let us down this afternoon because you're hungry. If that happens, I won't let you off the hook."

"Zuoyue...you really are..."

Looking at the stubborn yet kind-hearted black-haired girl in front of her, Sakura's eyes welled up with tears, and her heart was filled with emotion.

As expected, Ino's claims that Satsuki is dangerous and scary... are completely a misunderstanding! She's clearly such a good person!

Naruto, who had been observing silently from the sidelines, felt a surge of relief upon seeing this. She really was... still the same Sasuke Uchiha.

Naruto smiled and picked up his own bento box, saying, "Yeah, Satsuki's right, you can't fight on an empty stomach. In that case, I'll share my bento with Sakura too..."

"Absolutely not!"

Before Naruto could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Sasuke's unusually firm, even urgent, rebuke. The sudden, forceful attitude startled Naruto.

Zuo Yue seemed to realize her lapse in composure. She remained silent for a moment before speaking again, her tone softening but still carrying an undeniable air of authority.

"Well... I'm not very hungry at noon today, so I'll give my bento to Sakura." She handed the bento to Sakura again, then turned to Naruto and proposed a solution that surprised him.

"Naruto, let's share yours."

Chapter 137 Companions

"Alright, that should be fine, before Kakashi-sensei comes back."

Naruto loosened the ropes binding Sakura slightly, allowing her to free her hands to move around and eat. Meanwhile, his own barely touched bento was taken away by Satsuki without a word.

"Um... thank you so much..."

Sakura's eyes were slightly red, and her voice trembled with emotion as she carefully picked up Satsuki's lunchbox and began to eat small bites. The warm food not only dispelled her hunger but also brought a sense of comfort.

On the other side, Satsuki held Naruto's lunchbox, a faint blush rising on her cheeks. She calmly picked up a piece of tamagoyaki with her chopsticks, her eyes slightly unfocused, yet she pretended to be completely at ease.

"Alright, Naruto, come here. There's nothing we can do about it since there's only one pair of chopsticks."

She slightly raised her hand and handed the food to Naruto, her posture clearly indicating that she wanted to feed him herself.

Upon seeing this, Naruto was slightly taken aback at first, then smiled knowingly, lowered his head cooperatively, and opened his mouth to bring the chopsticks closer.

As Naruto's face drew ever closer and his lips were about to touch the food, Satsuki's heart raced uncontrollably. A surge of joy and excitement welled up within her, and she could barely suppress the smile spreading across her face.

"boom!"

The next moment, a huge muffled thud exploded! Accompanied by flying smoke and a sharp aura, a silver figure suddenly appeared in front of the three like a ghost!

Kakashi had clearly witnessed the "violation" of the rules, and he landed heavily with an extremely imposing posture, causing the ground to tremble slightly. He exuded a terrifyingly low pressure, and although his mask covered most of his face, his only visible eye was filled with "anger" and "disappointment".

"You guys!"

The sudden roar and Kakashi's appearance froze the already tense atmosphere! Sakura was so frightened that she almost dropped her lunchbox, and all the color drained from her face.

Satsuki's chopsticks, which were holding food, jerked suddenly. She quickly withdrew her hand and instinctively tried to hide the lunchbox behind her back.

"How brave!"

Kakashi deliberately released chakra, creating a tangible pressure that caused a low rumble of thunder to faintly echo across the clear sky, and dark clouds began to gather.

"How dare you openly violate the rules I set? You should know very well what that means, right?"

The overwhelming sense of oppression made Sakura tremble, but seeing Kakashi's truly furious expression, an unprecedented surge of courage erupted from the depths of her heart.

"Wait, wait a minute!" she almost screamed.

"Hmm?" Kakashi's imposing gaze instantly locked onto her. "What's wrong? You brat who broke the rules, do you have anything to say?"

"That...it wasn't their fault! It wasn't Naruto-kun and Satsuki-san who made that decision on their own!"

Sakura mustered all her courage, her voice growing louder and louder, "It was...it was me! I begged them to share some food with me! It's all my fault!"

Seeing Sakura step forward at this critical moment, trying to take all the responsibility upon herself, Kakashi could barely suppress the smile on his face beneath his mask, feeling extremely gratified.

However, he maintained his angry expression as if a storm was brewing, and slowly turned his gaze to Naruto and Satsuki.

"Oh? Is that so?" He awaited their answer.

Zuo Yue, standing to the side, bit her lower lip tightly. Why? Why is it that at such crucial moments, a teacher always jumps out and messes things up?

A surge of intense resentment and frustration welled up inside her. So close… so close! She'd finally found a legitimate reason…

"That's not how it is!" As if a fuse had been lit, Zuo Yue suddenly raised her head and retorted loudly with a "what's the use" attitude, grabbing Naruto's sleeve tightly.

"This was all my idea! I was the one who wanted to give her the lunchbox! Fine, I've already prepared to repeat a year anyway!" she shouted recklessly. "So what if I fail! It's not a big deal!"

Anyway, Naruto already promised me! If anything unexpected happens, he'll be there for me to repeat a year!

This thought gave her boundless confidence. It didn't matter where she was! As long as Naruto was there, that was enough!

Besides... Naruto loves me the most! He'll definitely be on my side!

Finally, Kakashi cast his extremely imposing gaze at Naruto, who had remained silent.

Naruto looked at the Jonin teacher in front of him who was scaring children and found it somewhat amusing, but decided to give the teacher face anyway.

“We’re sorry, Kakashi-sensei. We admit we broke your rules. But…”

His gaze swept over Satsuki, who was clutching his sleeve tightly, then glanced at Sakura, who, despite her fear, was still trying to straighten her back, before finally looking back at Kakashi.

"I'm the kind of person who just can't abandon my comrades! Watching my teammates go hungry and suffer, and then standing by and doing nothing for the sake of passing the test... I, Naruto Uzumaki, could never do that!"

"That's it..."

The next second, the terrifying chakra pressure and icy anger surrounding Kakashi receded like a tide, and even the thunder in the sky quietly dissipated.

The next second, a smile of immense relief and warmth appeared on his face.

"Then you all—have all passed!"

"...Huh? Pass? Why, why?"

This sudden and shocking reversal completely stunned Sakura. Her eyes widened, utterly unable to comprehend the abrupt turn of events.

Satsuki, who was standing to the side, was also stunned, and subconsciously loosened her grip on Naruto's sleeve.

"Because this is the real test—a test of teamwork." Kakashi's smile faded, his tone becoming gentle and serious. "In the past, too many kids would rigidly follow the superficial rules, willing to watch their teammates go hungry and be punished just to pass, even feeling fortunate that they weren't the ones eliminated..."

His gaze became distant.

"Indeed, those who break the rules and ironclad laws of the ninja world are called trash... But—those who don't value their comrades are even worse than trash!"

...Although Naruto had absolutely no liking for Obito Uchiha, he thought this statement was quite accurate.

"Therefore, I hereby declare—all personnel qualified! Squad Seven, officially commencing missions tomorrow!"

"That's...that's great!!"

Overwhelming joy washed away Sakura's fear and unease like a warm current. Her eyes glistened with excited tears, and she couldn't help but cheer.

Just then, Naruto suddenly felt a light, fragrant weight gently resting on his arm.

He lowered his head and saw that Zuo Yue had buried her face deeply in his arm, her black hair brushing against his skin, and she repeated in a muffled, soft voice.

"Very good……"

Naruto smiled and was about to suggest that they go out for a meal to celebrate when—

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations, host! You have established an initial bond with the original character "Kakashi Hatake"!]

Points earned: 350!

This unexpected gain made Naruto even happier, and he immediately looked up and enthusiastically made the suggestion.

"Alright, Kakashi-sensei! To celebrate the official formation of Team 7, I'll treat everyone to a meal! Please, sir, try my cooking!"

"Ok?"

Kakashi blinked his only exposed eye in confusion, glancing subconsciously at the bento he had prepared. "Is it because the bento I prepared isn't to my liking?"

Logically speaking, his cooking skills are quite good; Rin and Obito used to really enjoy his meals...

"It won't be wasted!"

Naruto quickly waved his hand, "It's been sitting here all morning, Teacher's bento is totally cold! It must taste terrible! Come on, come on, trust me, Teacher won't be disappointed!"

"...I just can't do anything with you."

Kakashi looked at the three excited students in front of him, especially Naruto's expectant and confident eyes, and finally smiled and shook his head, accepting the suggestion, "Alright, then let me look forward to your skills."

Watching Naruto excitedly untie Sakura from her restraints, Kakashi stood there, a strange warmth and sense of responsibility welling up inside him.

I've finally... become a teacher.

Just like Minato-sensei...

He turned his head slightly to hide the deeper smile on his lips, then habitually took out an orange-covered book from his ninja tool bag. It looked extremely frivolous. He casually flipped through it as he followed the three laughing students.

Chapter 138 Suppressed Possessiveness

……tasty.

Kakashi stared blankly at the clean, empty plate in front of him. Although he did have high expectations for Naruto's cooking—that confidence was not unfounded—the incredibly rich and delicious flavor that burst forth upon tasting it far exceeded his expectations.

It was an almost domineering taste experience, with each bite precisely targeting the most pleasurable spot on the taste buds, making it impossible to stop eating. One could only instinctively keep eating until the plate was empty.

He didn't even remember how he finished eating. When he came to his senses, he found that his plate was completely empty.

Naruto and Satsuki were tacitly clearing the table of dishes. As Naruto wiped the table, he couldn't help but steal a strange glance at Kakashi.

So how exactly does Kakashi manage to eat while wearing a mask? Doesn't it get smeared everywhere? Doesn't he find it troublesome?

However, Naruto wasn't curious about Kakashi's true face, because he already knew what kind of handsome face was under the mask through the character "Kakashi Hatake: Illusionary True Face" in the Naruto mobile game.

"I'm full, thank you for the meal." Kakashi, finally realizing what was happening, put down his chopsticks, his tone carrying a hint of lingering enjoyment and amazement. He solemnly thanked Naruto, "This was truly... an amazing meal. Very impressive."

"Okay, that's good." Naruto snapped out of his reverie and replied with a smile, "Thank you for the compliment. I'm glad you like it, sir."
