Konoha trainee Shinigami

"Come on! Sasuke-kun."

"Sasuke-kun, be careful not to get hurt."

"Ah~~~Sasuke-kun!"

Sasuke's appearance attracted bursts of cheers from the girls, with cheers and cheers coming one after another.

On the other hand, Naruto's side was bleak...

In fact, many male classmates in the class wanted to cheer for Naruto out of the same hatred for Sasuke, but the adults at home had repeatedly told them not to have anything to do with the demon fox boy.

so......

Amidst the cheers of the girls, Naruto walked towards the center of the training ground with his head lowered in frustration. Seeing that he and Sasuke were treated completely differently, Naruto's already lonely heart was tortured.

"Come on, Naruto."

The sound of cheering was like the dawn piercing the endless night, spreading a glimmer of hope in Naruto's lonely and dead heart.

Naruto looked up suddenly, only to find Sasuke standing opposite him looking at him with a smile.

"Come on Naruto, let's have an honest showdown!"

"..."

At this moment, Naruto was almost in tears.

Finally, someone is willing to look at me squarely!

Naruto quickly wiped his eyes with the back of his hand and covered it up while wiping: "Ah, wait a minute, sand accidentally got into his eyes."

Sasuke was not in a hurry, standing upright with his right hand behind his back, his left hand reaching forward and his back facing down, assuming a Konoha Taijutsu style posture. But he was not in a hurry to attack, he just looked directly at Naruto not far away and said: "Are you ready?"

Naruto suddenly became proud: "Hahaha, even if it's Sasuke, I won't show mercy!"

Sasuke was not willing to be outdone: "I got it!"

Naruto: "I'm on!"

Sasuke: "Come on!"

Then Naruto rushed forward.

Then Naruto fell down...

The whole place was silent for three seconds.

"Ha~ha~ha~ha! Naruto, are you here to make a joke?"

"Wow! Sasuke-kun is so strong!"

"Ah~~so handsome!"

"Naruto, you are too weak. I feel like Sasuke-kun is not serious at all."

......

These sounds were too harsh for the young Naruto, and his pride suddenly turned into endless sadness and anger.

Naruto half-crouched on the ground, struggling to look up at Sasuke, the confident look in his eyes gradually dimming.

"This is not an upright showdown. You are obviously so strong..."

Sasuke replied seriously: "In my opinion, fighting with both sides going all out is an upright fight!"

"Don't lie to me!"

"Actually, you look down on me just like those guys!"

Sasuke frowned and shook his head: "I have never looked down on you, and I have no right to look down on a person who dreams of becoming Hokage! Does your dream only have this little awareness!"

Naruto was stunned and speechless.

Naruto...

dream......

It turned out that Sasuke in front of him really recognized himself and fought with him with all his strength.

Thinking of this, little Naruto almost cried.

This feeling of being watched and recognized by others was something he had never felt since he could remember...

Naruto stood up slowly and wiped his eyes with the back of his hand.

"I will definitely defeat you, Sasuke!"

"Then, I will definitely become Hokage!"

Sasuke smiled noncommittally.

"Now, let me show you my determination, Uzumaki Naruto!"

As he spoke, Naruto's eyes flashed with confidence again, but the difference from before was that this time his confidence was no longer so inexplicable, but more stubborn, more determined, and more shocking. the power of.

"Yeah~~ Let's see! Sasuke!"

Naruto shouted as he rushed towards Sasuke.

boom!

Naruto flew upside down.

"Come again!"

Naruto climbed to his feet and rushed towards Sasuke again.

"Well, well!"

boom!

once.

boom!

once.

boom!

Again.

boom!

......

In the next ten minutes, Naruto didn't know how many times he was knocked to the ground by Sasuke, but no matter how many times he fell, he would get up again and again!

......

Iruka, who was standing aside, wanted to stop the match several times, but after realizing that Sasuke was very measured in his attacks and avoided Naruto's vital points every time, he silently chose to let the match continue.

Just because you won't get hurt doesn't mean you won't get tired.

As time passed, Naruto rushed towards Sasuke slower and slower, getting up harder and harder every time.

The students who were watching, from the beginning pointing at Naruto and laughing and joking, to the later silence and solemn silence.

At this moment, the accumulated damage caused by many blows made Naruto feel unbearable pain even if he moved slightly.

And the physical strength and other things have long been exhausted.

Naruto's lungs were rising and falling violently, and he was breathing heavily. His consciousness began to blur. Although he got up from the ground again, it looked like he would fall down at any time.

Even so, he still made stubborn sounds in his mouth.

"It's...it's not over yet..."

boom!

It was obviously a whisper that was inaudible, but it was like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of everyone present!

At this moment, even Sasuke's scalp was numb!

This kid...

terrible!

The teachers and students in the audience were horrified as they looked at the tiny figure that looked like a fallen leaf in the wind!

......

On this day, Sasuke deservedly received an "excellent" rating.

Naruto, who was sleeping in the school doctor's office, didn't know that there was a report card next to his pillow.

It says.

The first final exam - ninja training course.

Score: Pass!

This is also the only subject that Naruto has passed this semester.
