But at least I managed to finish introducing myself.
He quickly lowered his head and walked back to his seat.
Naruto scratched his head. He remembered—wasn't that the little girl he had saved before?
So she enrolled too; I hadn't noticed. Is her name Hinata Hyuga?
"Uchiha Sasuke," Iruka continued calling out names.
When Sasuke went on stage, the girls in the audience all whispered things like "Wow, so handsome!"
The shape of her eyes has changed to heart shape.
"My name is Uchiha Sasuke. My hobby is training with my brother, and my dream is to become as strong as my brother!" Sasuke said with a cold face, ignoring the girls at all, and then stepped off the stage.
"Next, Uzumaki... Naruto." Iruka paused for a moment, pursed his lips, and continued reading the name.
The classroom suddenly became quiet.
All eyes were on the child with blond hair.
Most people's eyes revealed undisguised disgust.
Their parents instilled in them the idea of disliking Naruto through their words and actions.
Although I've never had any contact with Naruto, my first impression of him was one of disgust!
Sasuke, Shikamaru, and Choji naturally sensed the atmosphere around them.
Sasuke's expression instantly turned cold, and the surrounding air pressure seemed to drop even lower.
Before, he could be said to be acting cool or imitating Itachi's expression, but now he is genuinely angry.
Naruto was his best friend, and the others who disliked him naturally also incurred Sasuke's hatred.
While Shikamaru and Choji weren't as extreme as Sasuke, their expressions weren't exactly pleasant either.
Hinata bit her lip, looking at Naruto with pity and admiration in her eyes.
As for Naruto, he was already used to that look. No matter how fierce the look was, it couldn't hurt him in the slightest. If he was so capable, he should just beat him.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki. My hobby is training, and my dream, of course, is to become Hokage!" Naruto shouted.
"Hahaha!!!"
"You think you can become Hokage?"
"What bad luck, being in the same class as him."
Immediately, a continuous stream of mocking laughter filled the classroom.
Iruka's eye twitched. It was time for him to intervene. Although he also disliked Naruto, who was rumored to be the incarnation of a demon fox, he had his own responsibilities as the homeroom teacher.
But it wasn't his turn to speak yet.
"Bang!" Sasuke slammed his hand on the table.
The loud noise startled everyone, and they all turned their attention to Sasuke.
His gaze was icy, his handsome face was taut, and everyone could feel the anger emanating from him.
"What are you laughing at? With your physical abilities that Naruto outdid in the entrance exam, do you have the right to laugh at others here?" Sasuke's voice was icy cold.
"If anyone doesn't want to stay in this class, I'll send you to another class right away! And if I hear you laughing at Naruto again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
The others looked grim upon hearing Sasuke's words, but none of them dared to speak.
Sasuke is the son of the Uchiha clan leader, and the Uchiha clan is the most powerful clan in Konoha. These commoner children dare to laugh at Naruto, who is also a commoner, but they would never dare to raise their voices at Sasuke.
Hearing Sasuke speak up for Naruto, they all shut their mouths, but the girls only felt that Sasuke looked even more handsome when he was angry.
Seeing that Sasuke had resolved the matter, Iruka remained silent for a moment before letting Naruto return to his seat.
Continue calling people up.
"Thanks, Sasuke!" Naruto returned to his seat and gave Sasuke a big, warm smile.
Although he didn't care about what those people said, Sasuke standing up for him still warmed his heart.
This is the first time someone has stood up for him.
He truly is a good friend!
Chapter 15 Mastering Wind Release Chakra
"Hmph." Sasuke waved his hand lightly, indicating that this was just a small matter.
"Why aren't you angry?" Sasuke asked Naruto curiously.
Even if he was just Naruto's good friend, he would still be furious in that situation.
However, Naruto himself showed no sign of being bothered by the mockery.
"Sigh, it's a damn little thing, you'll get used to it," Naruto said, waving his hand dismissively.
"Used?" Sasuke frowned slightly. If he was used to this kind of thing, how many cold looks and ridicule had Naruto suffered before?
Sasuke also fell silent.
The first day of classes ended quickly.
At the school gate, Sasuke hesitated for a moment before saying, "Naruto, want to come to my house for a bit?"
“ε=(?ο`*))) Huh?” Naruto scratched his head. No one had ever invited him to their house before.
The main reason is that he didn't have many friends before.
He and Sasuke are indeed good friends, but he was busy training before and they didn't see each other very often.
"Is this...is this appropriate?" Naruto rubbed his hands together, his face showing a mixture of excitement and unease.
He was afraid that he would displease Sasuke's family, and that he would lose a good friend.
Looking at Naruto's appearance, Sasuke recalled the attitude of his classmates towards him and couldn't help but pat Naruto on the shoulder, saying, "It's okay. My father said he wanted me to invite you to our house. My mother is very gentle and won't be cold to you."
Not only did she not say anything sarcastic, Mikoto treated Naruto even better than he did.
Even his father had a kind smile on his face when he looked at Naruto, without his usual seriousness, which made Sasuke wonder if his parents had both become different people.
Or perhaps, Naruto is actually his younger brother?
Even after Sasuke sent Naruto out of the Uchiha clan's territory, he still had a look of existential doubt on his face.
If it weren't for the fact that Naruto's hair color and eyes were completely different from those of the Uchiha, he would have really thought that Naruto had Uchiha blood.
“Your parents are such good people. If my parents were still alive, things would probably be just like this,” Naruto said to Sasuke with a happy expression.
"Oh," Sasuke replied casually with a sour face.
He was a little jealous of Naruto.
"What's wrong?" Naruto asked, looking at him with a puzzled expression.
"It's alright, it's just a pity that Itachi-nii went out on a mission, otherwise I would have introduced him to you," Sasuke said.
"Itachi-nii? You mean the older brother who took you to Ichiraku Ramen the first time we met?" Naruto said after thinking for a moment.
"Hmm." Sasuke's expression softened considerably upon hearing Itachi's name.
“We’ll definitely get to know each other in the future,” Naruto replied.
“Okay, I’ll introduce you to him later.” Sasuke nodded, and the two parted ways in the village.
Naruto returned home, washed up, and lay down on his bed.
Today I went to Sasuke's house. Uncle Fugaku and Aunt Mikoto seemed to know him. They didn't feel any sense of unfamiliarity with him. On the contrary, they treated him very well.
Naruto noticed that even Sasuke was being treated coldly.
Naruto was certain that he had never met anyone from the Uchiha clan before, and that Fugaku and Mikoto had treated him this way.
It's probably just because of my parents, right?
Naruto rolled over, wondering who his parents really were.
He even knows the head of the Uchiha clan.
Could it be Naruto?
But then Naruto shook his head. How could that be?
He had asked the Third Hokage about his parents, but the Third Hokage always remained silent, refusing to answer his questions, and left with a sorrowful expression.
Perhaps I am still young and too weak?
Sigh, I should grow up quickly and increase my strength. One day, when I can traverse the universe with my physical body and casually destroy a planet, then my third-generation grandfather will have no reason to avoid his questions, right?
However, while attending the Ninja Academy allows one to learn a great deal, it also impacts one's training time!
I have to attend classes at the Ninja Academy for most of the day every day, leaving me with very little time for my own extreme training and no time to practice ninjutsu.
How is this good?
Naruto scratched his head. He decided to ask Kakashi-sensei tomorrow. Kakashi was experienced and would definitely know how to solve the problem of not having enough time.
With that in mind, Naruto began his ninjutsu training for the evening.
He closed his eyes slightly, and without making any hand seals, the surrounding air immediately changed.
Air began to circulate throughout the room.
First, a gentle breeze appeared, caressing Naruto's face like a mother's tender touch, carrying a hint of coolness.
The wind gently swirls up the dust on the ground, making it dance gracefully in the air before slowly falling back down.
Then the gentle breeze gradually picked up. The curtains in the room began to sway violently, the books on the table turned their pages rapidly, and the rustling sound of the papers rubbing together filled the air.
The wind grew stronger and stronger, forming a small whirlwind in a corner of the room, which swept up scattered debris and made it spin continuously.
Naruto's expression remained calm, as if he had nothing to do with what was happening in the room.
Suddenly, the nature of the wind changed dramatically.
The wind, which had been relatively gentle, suddenly became extremely violent, like a raging beast.
Each gust of wind seemed to transform into sharp blades colliding with each other. Although it was just wind without any material substance, the collision produced a metallic clanging sound, just like real blades clashing.
After a long while, Naruto opened his eyes, and the wind blades that had been colliding with each other instantly calmed down.
The wind in the room instantly split in two.
The wind in half the room suddenly subsided, becoming as gentle as it had been at the beginning, brushing against the cheeks and bringing a sense of tranquility and peace; while the wind in the other half of the room remained violent, howling and swirling.
Two completely different winds create a stark contrast in the room, yet coexist in a strange harmony.
Naruto's lips curled into a smile; he could now control the shape and power of the wind at will.
According to Kakashi-sensei, he has completely mastered the nature and form transformations of wind-style chakra.
The next step is to cultivate chakra of other attributes.
According to the theory of mutual generation of the five elements.
Next, he will use wind-style chakra to cultivate fire-style chakra, then fully master the form and nature changes of fire-style chakra before cultivating the next chakra style.
"There's still not enough time," Naruto sighed, then waved his hand, and all the wind in the room disappeared. Naruto lay down to sleep.
----------------------------------
"Not enough time?" Kakashi put down the little prince he was holding and looked at Naruto sitting in front of him.
"Yeah, after starting school, I haven't had much time for extreme training and ninjutsu practice," Naruto explained his difficulties.
"Hmm..." Kakashi pondered for a moment. It was indeed true. He felt the same way back then. Spending time at the Ninja Academy was simply a waste of his time.
That's why he applied to graduate after finishing his first year and went to the front lines to train himself.
Chapter 16 sucking
For ordinary people, a day of cultivation time is enough, or even more.
After all, not everyone is strict with themselves.
During training, I always think, "That's good enough, that's good enough, that's good enough."
