Just as Sasuke in the audience was about to explode with anger, the dream on the screen changed again.
Uzumaki Naruto was being looked at shyly and lovingly by Haruno Sakura, whose eyes were full of pink bubbles.
Sakura had a shy blush on her face, put her hands behind her back, and walked to Naruto shyly, her voice sickeningly sweet:
"Naruto, Naruto-kun… Ah, no! Master Naruto!"
At the same time, in the audience:
Sakura: "????"
Sakura's head was full of question marks, and at this moment, Sakura's heart was already going crazy.
On the screen:
Dream-Sakura continued to speak in a sweet voice: "Master Naruto… you were so handsome just now. Sasuke-kun is no match for you at all! You are indeed our Team 7's… no! The strongest ninja in the entire Konoha!"
Naruto was overjoyed when he heard this. He scratched his head embarrassedly, squinted his eyes, and said proudly and shyly: "Well… it's just so-so. Sasuke was just too careless."
"No! You don't have to be modest!" Dream Sakura shook her head vigorously, her eyes became even hotter, "In my heart, you have always been the most powerful ninja. In fact… in fact, I have liked Master Naruto very, very much since a long time ago."
As she spoke, she actually plucked up the courage, took a step forward, grabbed Naruto's hand, tilted her little face, looked at him with eyes that were almost dripping with water, and boldly confessed, "I like Master Naruto the most! Let's go out!"
Naruto: "!!!!"
He froze in place as if struck by lightning! His mind was blank!
'Like me?'
'Sakura… actually said she likes me the most?!'
'Is this… is this true?!'
'Am I dreaming?'
The huge surprise swept over him like a tsunami! He even forgot to breathe for a moment!
After several seconds, Naruto finally reacted, his face flushed with ecstasy. He looked at the Dream-Sakura in front of him, who was full of affection, and felt that he was about to float.
Happiness came too suddenly!
He tried hard to maintain his persona, cleared his throat, and said as calmly as possible: "Ahem… since, Sakura-chan… you said so… then, then seeing that you are so sincere… I, I can consider it… wahahaha!!"
In the end, he still couldn't hold it in, put his hands on his hips, looked up to the sky, and let out a thunderous laugh.
In the audience, the real Haruno Sakura felt that her reason was completely annihilated.
She suddenly stood up from her seat, veins popping out on her fair forehead, and her emerald green eyes were almost spitting fire!
She seemed to have been possessed by a rage demon, and her pair of slender pink fists were clenched so hard that they made crackling sounds, and her knuckles were a little white.
"Naruto!!! You are an incurable idiot who is at the bottom of the class!!! How dare you dream of this?! Ahhhhhhh!!! I will kill you!!!"
The girl's roar was filled with endless murderous intent! If she was not in this strange space, she would definitely rush up and beat Naruto into a pighead.
[Ding! The emotional fluctuations from Haruno Sakura were captured! Emotional value +1000!!]
Compared to Sakura's rage, Sasuke next to her had a look of utter disgust, as if he had seen something extremely filthy, and even subconsciously moved to the side, a little further away from Sakura.
'Boring… these two idiots…'
Kakashi shook his head helplessly and held his forehead with his hand.
[Ding! The emotional fluctuations from Uzumaki Naruto are captured! Emotional value +400!]
The dream on the screen continued.
Dream-Sakura, who was "reluctantly" accepted by Naruto, was like a little bird in the dream.
She tightly held Naruto's arm and said in a sweet voice, "Great! Master Naruto, then… then let's go on a date now. I want to go shopping!"
"Of course, no problem. wherever Sakura wants to go, I will go with you!"
Naruto in the dream felt that he was a winner in life at this moment. He waved his hand and agreed heroically.
So, the two of them held hands sweetly, left the training ground, and came to the bustling streets of Konohagakure.
Soon, Naruto discovered something even stranger. In the past, when he walked on the street, he was always greeted by the villagers' fear, disgust, vigilance, or indifference.
It was as if he was a plague or a monster, and everyone avoided him.
But today…
"Hey! Isn't this Naruto-sama? You look good today." An auntie selling vegetables saw him and immediately greeted him warmly and handed him a big, red tomato.
"Naruto-sama, isn't it time to change your clothes? Come to our store and have a look. We'll give you a 20% discount." The owner of the clothing store also waved to him with a smile.
Even…
a gentle woman in a red kimono, holding a little boy of five or six years old, took the initiative to walk in front of Naruto, with a smile of great respect and envy on her face.
"Hello, Naruto-sama." The woman first bowed respectfully, then pulled the timid little boy next to her and said to him, "Ryota! Look, this is Naruto-sama. You must take him as an example in the future, work hard to practice, and become an amazing ninja like him! Do you understand?"
The little boy nodded, not quite understanding, and looked at Naruto with eyes full of admiration.
The woman turned to Naruto again and asked him with concern, " Naruto-sama, has your training been hard recently? You must take care of your health!"
Naruto was completely stunned. He stood there, at a loss, feeling that his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
'What…what's going on?'
'The villagers… are all smiling at me?'
'Are they…caring about me? Are they…praising me?'
'And calling me… Naruto-sama?'
'This…this…'
Since he could remember, he had never experienced such treatment. He has always been the one who was excluded, isolated, and treated as a monster.
The indescribable sense of happiness and satisfaction, like the warmest tide, instantly drowned him. His eyes moistened uncontrollably, and his vision began to blur.
He couldn't even tell whether this was reality or a dream that was too beautiful.
Although he also felt a little strange, why did everyone call him Naruto-sama? However, compared to this small question, the huge change in the villagers' attitudes brought him too much joy and happiness.
"Yeah! Yeah! Thank you for your concern, Auntie! I feel great! Training is not hard!"
Naruto came back to his senses, wiped his eyes vigorously, and his face bloomed with the brightest and most sincere smile of his life.
He responded to every villager who greeted him and expressed goodwill to him in a somewhat clumsy but extremely happy way.
He walked along the way, greeted every villager enthusiastically, and enjoyed the warmth and recognition he had dreamed of.
[Ding! The emotional fluctuations from Uzumaki Naruto were captured! Emotional value +2000!]
In the audience:
Sakura and Sasuke didn't have any special feelings about the scene in front of them where Naruto was loved.
Sasuke grew up with the praise of his clan and the pursuit of girls. He was accustomed to this scene and even a little bored.
After the initial anger, Sakura also felt that the scene in front of her was a little boring.
"Really… Isn't it boring to keep saying hello like this?" She muttered quietly and even yawned.
Only Kakashi, looking at the Naruto on the screen who was smiling like a fool, felt mixed emotions.
He sighed softly, and the one eye that was exposed was full of complex emotions. There was relief, sympathy, helplessness, and sadness.
As one of the few people who knew Naruto's life experience and his true treatment in the village, Kakashi knew better than anyone how ironic all this in Naruto's dream was compared with reality.
This false happiness, on the contrary, highlights the cruelty of reality.
[Ding! The emotional fluctuations from Hatake Kakashi were captured! Emotional value +500!]
Naruto in the dream was still immersed in a huge sense of happiness. He felt as if he owned the whole world and became the most popular person in the village.
This feeling was so good that he was reluctant to wake up.
He happily interacted with the villagers and shared his happiness, and time seemed to pass quickly.
[Ding! The emotional fluctuations from Uzumaki Naruto were captured! Emotion value +100!]
[Ding! The emotional fluctuations from Uzumaki Naruto are captured! Emotion value +100!]
[Ding! The emotional fluctuations from Uzumaki Naruto are captured! Emotion value +100!]
[Ding! The emotional fluctuations from Uzumaki Naruto are captured! Emotion value +100!]
The emotional value flowed like a stream, making Shigure, who was hiding in the dark, smile from ear to ear.
Just when Naruto's happiness reached its peak and the sky gradually darkened, something strange happened.
Just as Naruto was about to say goodbye to the last enthusiastic villager and go home with a smile, a hand stretched out from behind him without any warning and grabbed his ear.
The force was so great that Naruto grimaced in pain.
"Ouch! Who is it?! It hurts!"
He was about to turn around to see who was so bold as to pull "Naruto-sama's" ear when a female voice filled with anger but with doting rang in his ears like thunder:
"Naruto! I told you to go and get some soy sauce! Where have you been?! It's already dark, and you haven't returned home yet!!"
Along with this roar, the scene in front of Naruto's eyes… like a TV with a cutoff signal, it went black in an instant.
The dream was over.
