Chapter 17 We Can Avoid Hinata
🕑 Added 2025-09-30 12:37:17 +0000 UTC"Good guy!"
"Is this treason?"
Naruto looked at Haruno Sakura with a strange expression.
Sakura pursed her thin lips and said shyly, "Naruto-kun~ don’t look at me like that…"
Her expression was really strange to Naruto.
"What are you pretending to be?" he complained.
Sakura stopped acting and took two steps closer to Naruto, staring at him carefully.
Naruto leaned back tactically. "What are you doing? Don’t mess around, I told you. If Hinata finds out, wouldn’t I be doomed?"
After saying that, Naruto pushed Sakura away.
Unexpectedly, she retorted, "It’s okay, we can avoid Hinata."
Naruto: "…"
Oh no!
There’s something wrong with this girl!
Naruto turned and walked away.
Sakura quickly followed, chirping into his ear.
It was all gossip, but Naruto caught one sentence clearly:
"Naruto, do you know that the panties I bought you have been tampered with?"
"What?!"
Naruto’s face turned red. This was no joking matter! If something went wrong, his whole life could be ruined.
Seeing Naruto’s reaction, Sakura quickly reassured him, "Don’t worry, Naruto, I didn’t do anything wrong."
Huh?
Did I ask that question?
No… wait, why did she even say that?
Could it be that she tried them on before sending them…?
I giao?!
Is this girl really that playful?
Naruto’s expression darkened. He finally understood why the clothes Sakura sent always carried a faint fragrance.
He gave her a warning look.
Sakura immediately raised her hands. "Don’t worry, Naruto, I won’t dare again."
That’s weird… Jie Jie Jie~
Naruto’s eyes twitched. He had already been thinking about buying daily necessities for himself. This kind of thing was too scary and risky.
Fortunately, Sakura eventually became a little more honest in class—after all, so many people were watching!
But Sakura didn’t bother Naruto; instead, she fought with Ino.
"Ino pig, why do you have to like what I like?"
"Don’t you like Sasuke? I gave you Sasuke’s photo, what else do you want?"
"I thought about it. I didn’t like Sasuke. I liked him because you liked him before. I just wanted to surpass you."
"But now I realize what I really like is Naruto."
"So you should keep liking Sasuke. Go ahead!"
"Unreasonable girl!"
"Hmm, wide forehead."
"Ino pig!"
"..."
Behind them, Naruto sat frozen.
"It’s troublesome, isn’t it?" Shikamaru’s voice came from the back row.
Naruto looked back and saw Shikamaru holding the back of his head in his hands, nodding in agreement.
Next to Shikamaru, Inuzuka Kiba watched the quarrel between the two girls in front of him with a dumbfounded expression. Even Akamaru looked stunned.
As for Sasuke, he felt unaffected by the fans’ complaints. He probably had Naruto to thank for that.
Regarding the training method Naruto had shared, Sasuke had tried it and achieved good results.
He didn’t know why, but that posture quickly consumed energy, tested endurance, and even allowed him to train muscles that were usually difficult to reach.
Sasuke had decided to challenge Naruto during the afternoon practice session because he no longer thought he was weaker than Naruto.
Afternoon.
The penultimate class before the holiday.
Iruka stood on the podium and addressed the students pleasantly:
"Students, the holiday is about to begin, and the final exam is over. Today we won’t talk about studying; you can relax. I’ll give you an assignment to think about during this class."
"If the moon suddenly fell from the sky, leaving only one day before the end of the world, who would you choose to spend it with?"
Chōji murmured softly, "It would be great if the moon was made of meat…"
The class erupted in laughter.
Soon, Iruka handed out blank papers.
Naruto looked at his paper, Hinata’s image flashing through his mind. If it were the last day, it would probably be very warm and sad.
Instead of writing about personal matters, he wrote: Try your best to stop the moon.
The students all completed the assignment after some noisy chatter.
Iruka said to Naruto, "Uzumaki Naruto-san, please submit your homework."
Half the girls in the class stiffened at this.
"Okay, Iruka-sensei." Naruto stood up and started collecting homework, curious to see what his classmates had written.
Uzumaki Naruto.
Uchiha Sasuke.
Uzumaki Naruto.
Uchiha Sasuke.
Uzumaki Naruto…
My special hair?
Did they have no family other than love?
Naruto was shocked.
The boys’ answers were mostly the same—almost all of them chose the girls they fancied.
Only a few chose family members, which was more reasonable.
Besides Naruto, only one other student had an answer similar to his: Shikamaru.
Soon, all homework was collected.
Iruka hoped to understand his students better through this, but he was naïve. He couldn’t make sense of most of their answers.
Soon it was time for the last class: practical exercises.
Sasuke had been preparing for this combat exercise for a long time.
As soon as he arrived at the playground, he approached Naruto. "Your training method is very useful. I want to challenge you."
From the start, Sasuke’s words created a tense atmosphere.
As the two most popular students in class, a fight between Naruto and Sasuke was naturally interesting to watch.
Of course, the mutual fan quarrels added even more excitement.
Naruto was confused by Sasuke’s words.
My training method… very useful?
Judging from Sasuke’s expression, he wasn’t joking.
Maybe I can try it later at home…
The thought passed through Naruto’s mind.
"I won’t lose to you this time! Uzumaki Naruto!" Sasuke shouted, challenging him.
Naruto came to his senses and silently nodded. It was fine to spar with him.
The two stood facing each other, while cheers erupted from the crowd.
The excitement drew the attention of other grades.
Hyuga Neji, still a ninja student, came over to watch.
Xiao Li asked Neji, "Who are those two?"
Neji calmly glanced at the scene. "One is a descendant of the Uchiha clan, the other is a legendary monster."
A showdown between the Uchiha and the monster? So interesting.
More and more students gathered, almost half the school. Iruka had to step in to maintain order.
On the field, the fight officially began.
"Be careful." Sasuke closed his eyes, activating his crimson Sharingan.
