Chapter 35
Class 7, Assemble!
In addition to the multiplication of detonating tags.
Naruto has now fully confirmed that he does not have the talent for the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Even if he could understand every single technique and every single word.
However, he just couldn't feel the so-called "sense of space".
He was stuck on the first step, which prevented him from even mastering the basics of this ninjutsu.
Naruto felt a little disappointed about this, but that was all.
After all, he already has too many trump cards and backup plans, so losing one won't make a difference.
Moreover, who can say for sure what changes might occur in the future?
Just as Naruto was deep in thought.
Not far away, a pair of emerald green eyes were quietly watching him.
Sakura Haruno rested her chin on her hand, pretending to admire the scenery, but actually observing Naruto through the reflection in the glass.
She used to think of Naruto as just a noisy, disruptive person.
All she could see was the strong and cool Sasuke.
But recently...
Sakura looked at Naruto's focused profile.
Sunlight shone on his blond hair, and his black-rimmed glasses gave him a scholarly air.
In addition, he was the top graduate, and even Sasuke was defeated by him...
"Actually... if you look closely, Naruto is quite handsome too."
"And he's so quiet and has such a refined air..."
Sakura's cheeks flushed slightly.
Compared to Sasuke's cold and aloof demeanor.
Naruto's perfectly balanced aloofness and warmth are accompanied by a strange sense of mystery.
It seems to be more attractive to teenage girls.
That means everyone has graduated now.
Otherwise, Sakura thinks Naruto's fan club would be formed.
Just then, Naruto seemed to sense something, looked up and met Sakura's gaze.
Sakura was startled and hurriedly tried to turn her head away.
Naruto simply gave a polite and gentle smile:
Good morning, Haruno-kun.
Sakura felt her face instantly burn up.
"Good morning, Naruto-kun."
Ino nudged Sakura and whispered:
"Hey, wide-forehead, why are you blushing? Don't you like Sasuke?"
"Mind your own business, you wild boar!"
Sakura stubbornly retorted, but her eyes unconsciously drifted towards that figure.
Although Sasuke is handsome, Naruto now seems to be more charming.
Naruto looked away and lowered his head to look at the paper in front of him again.
Spatial talent is something that can only be encountered by chance and cannot be forced.
Although Naruto felt a slight regret, it was quickly replaced by calmness.
"Since we can't have 'absolute speed,' we'll pursue 'absolute firepower.'"
"As long as the firepower coverage is dense enough, even if the enemy can teleport, they will have nowhere to land."
Just then, the classroom door was pushed open.
Iruka walked in with a list. "Alright, everyone, quiet down!"
"From today onwards, you are officially ninjas."
"Next, I will read out your class assignments. You will be divided into groups of three, each led by a Jonin teacher to carry out the mission."
The classroom fell silent instantly, and everyone tensed up, listening intently.
"First class..."
"Second class..."
……
"Team 7: Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and... Sakura Haruno!"
"Very good!"
Sakura suddenly stood up and let out a cheer.
It would allow her to be paired with Sasuke, whom she had a crush on for a long time, or with Naruto, whom she had recently developed feelings for.
For Sakura at this moment, it felt like a dream.
Sasuke sat in his seat, his hands supporting his chin, and let out a cold snort.
Although he appeared disdainful, he was secretly relieved.
"Perfect, I can observe his training methods up close, and even... find out the source of his recent abnormal caution."
He already sees Naruto as a hurdle that must be overcome on the path to revenge.
Naruto remained unfazed by their reactions.
"Sakura... she's not bad either. She's very intelligent and worth nurturing."
Naruto stood up and walked over to the two men, looking at his two teammates and extending his hand:
"Please take good care of me, you two."
"I hope we can become... trustworthy partners."
Seeing Naruto's outstretched hand, Sakura blushed and placed her hand on it.
Sasuke hesitated for a moment, but finally reluctantly placed his hand on it.
He did this thing that he considered very childish.
Class 7 has officially assembled.
……
noon.
Sasuke was resting with his eyes closed.
Sakura kept glancing at Sasuke and then at Naruto.
Naruto leaned against the window, closed his eyes, and let his consciousness sink into the system space.
"System, open C-level treasure chest."
This is a reward from the previous "Chief Graduate" mission; it's time to cash in on it.
[Rank C treasure chest is being opened...]
Congratulations on obtaining: Dimensional Pocket
[Description: What appears to be just an ordinary pocket actually contains a stationary 10-cubic-meter space.]
【characteristic:
1. Weight exemption: No matter how many items are loaded, the user will not feel the weight.
2. Instant access: As soon as you have a thought, the item will appear in your hand instantly.
3. Static state: Food placed inside will not rot; live animals should not be placed inside.
Naruto's eyes widened slightly.
"Although I don't have spatial talent, I've acquired a spatial device?"
"And... 10 cubic meters!"
This size doesn't look very big.
Even if all his current equipment and supplies were put inside, it would only take up one corner.
In this way, as long as he has money, he can simply stuff all the weapons in the entire ninja tool shop into his pocket.
Naruto was making plans in his mind.
When he came to his senses, he found that almost everyone in the class had left, leaving only the three of them.
He glanced at Sasuke and Sakura, then began to mentally construct the 'standardized combat procedure' for Team 7.
Then quickly scribble and draw on the paper.
Not long after.
"Sasuke, Sakura."
Naruto stood up. "Since we've been assigned to the same group, I'll get straight to the point."
"I don't want my partners to lose their lives during missions because of recklessness or lack of preparation."
Sasuke opened his eyes, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "What do you mean?"
He felt that Naruto was subtly criticizing him.
Naruto handed the two lists he had just written to the two men.
"This is my wilderness survival checklist. I hope you can purchase everything according to the requirements before we carry out the mission."
Sakura took the list and looked at the densely packed requirements for supplies.
Not only did I not feel disgusted, but I also thought Naruto was extremely thoughtful.
"No problem, Naruto-kun! I'll be all ready!"
Sasuke stared at the long list of "survival items" on the list, his lips twitching.
"Naruto Uzumaki, are you going to war?"
Naruto pushed up his glasses, and the lenses reflected a white light:
"Sasuke, a ninja's greatest adversary is often not the enemy, but arrogance."
"If you can't even do this much preparation, then your so-called revenge is nothing but childish nonsense."
The mention of revenge caused Sasuke's face to darken instantly.
He grabbed the list, his voice cold:
"I see."
Just then, the front door of the classroom was slowly opened.
A ninja wearing a mask, with dead fish eyes and a full head of silver hair peeked in.
Looking at the harmonious atmosphere among the three of them.
Kakashi raised an eyebrow, his tone languid yet tinged with surprise:
"Well, how should I put it, my first impression of you... was quite good."
