Naruto: If I ask you to be Naruto, you will become a yellow-haired person?

Shikamaru Nara, with his pineapple-shaped head, sighed inwardly as he recalled his father's private conversation with him.

He hadn't expected Naruto's father to be the Fourth Hokage, who had sacrificed himself during the Nine-Tailed Fox's attack six years ago.

And his own father had been a key member of the Fourth Hokage's team, with a close relationship…

No wonder his old man had repeatedly hinted that he should take care of Naruto and help him out at the Ninja Academy…

As for why the Third Hokage hadn't revealed that Naruto was the Fourth Hokage's son…

Even with his high intelligence, he didn't dare to speculate, a faint intuition telling him that this was a slippery slope he shouldn't touch!

Naruto couldn't help but smile as he watched Hinata's face flush red as she shyly lowered her head, yet still eagerly raised her hand high.

Soon after, Iruka entered the classroom, clapped his hands, and announced the end of classes.

"The test papers have been collected, everyone is free to go."

"Physical training will be held this afternoon!"

With that, he left the classroom without delay.

Naruto got up and greeted his companions with a smile.

"Alright, lunchtime is short, so let's go to Ichiraku Ramen!"

"Yay!"

Ino Yamanaka immediately jumped up from her seat, clenched her fists, and cheered.

Her bright golden ponytail swayed cheerfully along with her slender and exquisite body.

The resentful gaze she had been giving Kiba Inuzuka also became more amiable.

She muttered inwardly that Kiba Inuzuka wasn't entirely annoying this time.

Seeing the others preparing to leave, Sasuke silently withdrew his gaze and prepared to go home.

Suddenly, Naruto called out to him.

"Sasuke, do you want to join us for lunch?"

Sasuke paused in packing his bag, seemingly surprised that Naruto would invite him, a hint of astonishment on his handsome, cold face.

He turned his head and said in a flat tone, "I guess."

"Since you're sincerely inviting me, I can't refuse your request."

Sasuke Uchiha spoke in a nonchalant tone, acting casually.

But the subtle upward curve of his lips didn't escape Naruto's sharp eyes.

Naruto couldn't help but find it amusing; Sasuke had always been a tsundere, a handsome boy who said one thing and meant another.

Sakura Haruno, hugging Ino Yamanaka's slender waist, looked excited.

Her carefully styled pink bangs swayed constantly, like a delicate pink ocean.

"Ino, I didn't expect Sasuke to come with us this time!"

"He's never agreed when I've invited him before…"

Ino was stunned at first, worry creeping onto her delicate face as she whispered in Sakura's ear.

"Hey, Sakura, do you think Naruto and Sasuke are getting too close…?"

"I feel like Naruto and Sasuke are closer than I am…"

"Eh…"

Sakura's excited expression froze, Ino having pointed out a blind spot she hadn't noticed.

Sakura belatedly sensed something was amiss, and her jaw dropped.

"Ino, do you think Sasuke and Naruto both like boys…?"

Ino: o(╥﹏╥)o

…

Shikamaru Nara, Kiba Inuzuka, Choji Akimichi, Sakura Haruno, Ino Yamanaka, Sasuke, Hinata, and Naruto were strolling leisurely down the street.

At this time, the village hadn't yet experienced the arrival of a bunch of bosses carrying rice up the stairs in Konoha, and the scene was full of vitality and thriving.

The group chatted and laughed, casually talking.

Ichiraku Ramen was located near the center of the village, not too far from the Ninja Academy.

Just as they reached the unassuming shop with a curtain that partially concealed the diners inside,

A voluptuous, mature young woman with delicate short blonde hair and fair, radiant skin brushed past them.

Naruto's gaze followed the alluring curve of her black fishnet lingerie.

Disappearing into an inconspicuous shop around the corner.

His eyes narrowed; the cold, indifferent demeanor of the woman reminded him of someone he knew from his previous life.

He was even a fan of hers…

But if it really was her, why would she be in Konoha Village? Could she be a spy, gathering intelligence on Konoha?

It wasn't impossible…

Just as Naruto was thinking this,

He was lightly nudged in the shoulder by an elbow, and Kiba Inuzuka looked at him with a sly grin, whispering in his ear.

"Ino and Hinata are here, can you restrain yourself a little…"

The latest novels are available on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

Shikamaru Nara's serious face also wore an expression of barely suppressed laughter.

He usually never laughed unless he really couldn't help it.

"Naruto, now everyone knows your preferences… but it's nothing."

"It's only natural."

Hearing this, Naruto saw the strange expressions on the faces of the other boys, who were clearly aware of his gaze and had misunderstood.

Naruto's forehead was covered in black lines; although he did consistently like the busty women from the beginning to the end.

Just like how he liked Ultraman Tiga as a child and busty women when he grew up.

But this time, he really wasn't thinking about that fair-skinned, beautiful blonde bombshell.

Looking at Hinata beside him, her face so red it was about to drip blood, so shy she was about to burst, her two fair hands constantly twisting together…

Even Naruto, who usually had a thick skin, felt a little embarrassed.

He had always maintained a righteous persona in front of Hinata, who listened to him so obediently…

Could it be that his glorious image in Hinata's heart would collapse? Replaced by a lecherous, perverted Naruto?!

Naruto felt as if snowflakes were fluttering in his heart, kneeling on the ground, wailing, "No～～!"

Hinata lowered her head, white steam faintly rising from her obedient head, still poking her index fingers together.

After taking a few deep breaths, she mustered her courage and said softly.

"I… if Naruto… Naruto-kun likes that kind of thing… I… I will work hard too…"

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned away, her ears red with shyness, covering her burning cheeks with the white sleeves of her training uniform.

"Eh…" Naruto was stunned, completely unexpected Hinata would comfort him like this.

As expected of his thoughtful little cotton-padded jacket, Hinata-chan, so gentle, considerate, and understanding.

And Hinata's baby food store after development isn't small either…

Who in the original story is richer than Hinata…

The others beside him didn't hear.

But Ino Yamanaka, who was walking on Naruto's other side with Hinata, also heard Hinata's shy, delicate voice.

Her fair cheeks flushed red, like ripe fruit, and she secretly stamped her feet in embarrassment.

She never expected that Hinata, who usually played the role of a well-behaved, dignified young lady,

Would say such embarrassing things in front of Naruto!

Her tone was gentle yet resolute, surprising even her, a fellow girl.

If she were Naruto-kun, she definitely wouldn't be able to resist!
