"I actually fell asleep in the study."

Sasuke shook his head, trying to wake himself up. He spent all night preparing the sealing technique yesterday and checked it many times.

"How do you say that? ReadyPerfectly."

Sasuke stood up, it was time for him to have breakfast, no, it was time to have lunch.

"Gah!!!"

The unpleasant call of a crow broke the tranquility in the house, and it came to bring a message.

Sasuke picked up the pen and paper on the table and quickly wrote a note and handed it to the crow. He invited Naruto over.

"Naruto, come to my house, I have something to do."

Holding the note firmly in its mouth, the crow flapped its wings and left.

"C, is the matter done?"

A masked root ninja knelt on one knee and appeared in front of Sasuke.

"Sasuke-sama, the Uzumaki clan is a kunoichi and has settled down."

At the entrance of the Forest of Death, three little ninjas walked happily side by side. They had just successfully completed the second level of the Chunin Exam.

"Great, everything went well this time." Haruno Sakura breathed a long sigh of relief. She was afraid that Sasuke would call him a strong person.

They didn't encounter the gourd-carrying man during the whole journey, but the ninjas of Otogakure encountered him from a distance. After seeing the forehead protector, she and Shino grabbed Naruto and ran away on the spot.

"Yeah, luckily I met a ninja from the Rain Ninja Village." Shino Aburame patted her clothes and patted her wrinkled hair. He didn't expect that he would need a scroll when he met his first opponent.

Uzumaki Naruto looked around and was surprised, why didn't Sasuke come to pick him up this time?

"What are you looking at? How could Sasuke keep waiting for you? He doesn't know when we will come out." Sakura said a little angrily. Naruto, this guy, relies too much on her as a male god.

"Sasuke is a crow." Shino raised his head.

A crow landed on Naruto's outstretched arm, holding a small rolled up piece of paper in its mouth.

"Sasuke is Shin?"

Naruto opened the note curiously, and two teammates next to him also looked at him curiously, wondering what Sasuke had written.

"Sasuke said he has something to do with me, so I'm going to find him now. Sakura-chan, Shino, we'll see you later."

After saying a quick goodbye to his teammates, Naruto began his ninja run.

Sasuke must be looking for him for something very important.

Seeing Naruto leave, Sakura felt a little disappointed. Neither Naruto nor Sasuke regarded her as their most important person.

"Shino, do you think Sasuke and I are still possible?" Sakura asked sadly as she was the only remaining teammate beside her. Sure enough, she got a head shake.

"Sakura, you need to look around for more people."

"I know it is."

Sakura helplessly put her hands behind her back and kicked the pebbles on the ground. It was time for her to go home and have a good rest.

Sasuke's home was too far away. No matter how good his physique was, Naruto still felt a little tired. He hadn't had a good rest for nearly three days.

"Sasuke, excuse me." Naruto knocked on the Uchiha's door.

After seeing Sasuke, he opened his hands enthusiastically, wanting to hug Sasuke who came to open the door.

"leave me alone."

Sasuke pushed Naruto away in disgust and approached him with a big face. This kid hadn't taken a shower for a long time and his body was a bit smelly.

"Take a shower, have a meal, I have something important to tell you."

"Hehe." Naruto moved a little further away and touched his forehead sheepishly. He also knew that Sasuke was a bit of a germaphobe, but wasn't this a momentary excitement?

"It's delicious. Is this ramen in the capital? It's so delicious."

Naruto lowered his head and wolfed down his food. Although emotionally he liked Ichiraku Ramen more, but in terms of taste, the noodles he had today were even better.

"I'll treat you to fresh food next time." Sasuke sat on the other side of the dining table and said with his face in his hands. There was no refrigerator on the road, so he put ice in the scroll to keep it fresh, but the ramen was still a little mushy.

Although heating it does not affect the taste, the texture will be different.

"It's super-delicious!" Naruto finished a mouthful of noodles and gave a thumbs up.

"This outfit really looks a bit inconsistent." Sasuke complained as he stared at Naruto's clothes.

Naruto's clothes were dirty, and he was wearing Sasuke's white kimono.

The clothes on Sasuke made him look like a classically beautiful boy, but on Naruto... they were a bit nondescript. Although Naruto looked good, he really didn't have much temperament.

But yes, we can't let a Uzumaki wear the Uchiha clan uniform.

"Speaking of which, Sasuke, am I really not allowed to wear your clan uniform?"

Naruto looked at the clothes on his friend. He thought the clothes looked super handsome on Sasuke, and he wanted to try them on too.

"Don't even think about it." Sasuke ruthlessly rejected Naruto's request.

Uchiha Naruto? There is no yes. If my parents were still alive, they would definitely not agree to it.

He said yes, it was a matter of letting outsiders wear ethnic uniforms, but he had no other implicit meaning.

"How stingy." Naruto curled his lips.

After finishing ten bowls of noodles, Naruto finally stopped. He touched his belly with satisfaction, "Thanks for the treat, Sasuke. Leave the dishes to me."

"No need." Sasuke stood up. He now had subordinates and he didn't need to do the housework himself. "Follow me into the study."

Naruto wiped his mouth and followed Sasuke.

Looking at Sasuke's back, he felt worried. I always feel that Sasuke has changed a lot in the past two days. Is it a matter of something bad happening to him?

As a friend, he will definitely support Sasuke unconditionally.

"Is this Sasuke's study a study? It feels so empty."

Naruto looked around curiously. This was his first time in this place. "Sasuke, what are those densely packed words in the corner?"

"The sealing technique."

Sasuke sat on the floor, and Naruto followed suit.

"Sasuke, do you have anything important to do with me?"

Naruto's blue eyes looked at Sasuke, and he asked seriously.

Looking into Naruto's trusting eyes, Sasuke was silent for a moment.

"Naruto...can you do me a favor?"

"of course."

Naruto nodded affirmatively, Sasuke was the only one who did things.

Only, why was Sasuke so hesitant this time? This was nothing like him normally.

"Naruto, I have never asked you for help. This time, probably in my whole life, I have asked for help." Sasuke reached behind him and touched the sword lying on the ground.

Seeing Sasuke's solemn expression, Naruto was a little at a loss. What happened to Sasuke? Why does he look so sad?

He moved towards Sasuke and placed his hands on Sasuke's shoulders.

Seeing Sasuke lower his head, Naruto couldn't help but feel sad. Sasuke has always been very kind to him, but this time he must have encountered something very difficult.

"Sasuke, don't be sad, I can do whatever you want."

He promised Aunt Mikoto to take good care of Sasuke, but after so many years, he has been taken care of by Sasuke. He is a good man and should fulfill his promise to a woman.

"Whether it's Konoha or Hokage, to me, it's not as important as you, Sasuke."

He dreams of becoming Hokage and gaining recognition from everyone in Konoha. But after Sasuke left, this dream was no longer so attractive to him now.

It was a dream that he was willing to give himself up if Sasuke needed him. After all, Sasuke's first and most important friend is him.

Is Naruto willing to be Hokage? Sasuke raised his head and saw Naruto's clear eyes.

"Naruto, you don't need to give up on your dream." Sasuke said with certainty.

Is it a dream for Naruto to give up on himself? He never thought about it.

Naruto was surprised. He saw that Sasuke's eyes turned from black to red, and there were strange patterns in his eyes. Could it be that the Uchiha clan has red eyes?

He remembered that this one seemed to be called... called the Sharingan?

"Naruto, all you have to do is stab me."

Sasuke picked up the sword in his hand.
