"Hmph, I'm not afraid of you... Becoming Hokage is my dream, and I will not give up.
Sasuke, from today on, we are competitors! I will never lose to you!"
Just as Sasuke was distracted, Naruto suddenly looked into Sasuke's eyes and shouted excitedly.
His blue eyes flickered with excitement and indescribable emotional fluctuations.
Finally, he had someone's recognition besides Iruka-sensei!
Even though Sasuke was just a competitor, he hadn't ignored Naruto's existence.
Instead, he saw him as an opponent.
This was even more motivating for Naruto, who was at the bottom of his class.
"Me too, Naruto."
Sasuke suppressed his excitement and looked at Naruto seriously.
Now, he also had a reason to become Hokage!
"Sasuke-kun is so handsome. He will definitely be able to defeat Naruto and become Hokage."
Sakura looked at Sasuke with a shy smile.
She wholeheartedly approved of his dream.
"Please don't look down on me, Sakura-chan! Doing what I say is my way of the shinobi. I will definitely surpass Sasuke and become Hokage!"
Hearing the shouts from his goddess, Sakura, Naruto turned around and angrily clenched his fists.
Although he knew that he wasn't as talented as Sasuke, this was not the time to back down.
"You three seem quite motivated... But becoming Hokage is not that easy! Now then, let's meet at Training Ground 3 at 5:00 tomorrow morning. Remember to bring your ninja tools. This is an extremely difficult test with an elimination rate of over 66%. Don't go claiming you want to be Hokage only to fail the Genin test. Oh, and don't eat breakfast... you'll throw up."
Looking at Sasuke and Naruto, whose eyes met and sparks flew, Kakashi teased with a deep look in his eyes.
Before the three of them could react, he vanished into white smoke with a bang.
At the same time, the system prompt appeared again in Sasuke's mind:
[Kakashi's malicious suggestion was detected, triggering a 10x D-level reward. Mission: Eat breakfast tomorrow. Reward: One hundred thousand ryo.]
"One hundred thousand ryo!"
Hearing the system reward, Sasuke's eyes flashed with excitement.
Although the first reward was just money and didn't help much with his strength, the mission was simple.
Besides, in the ninja world, if you have money, you can do anything you want.
One hundred thousand ryo could be used to launch a C-level mission, or he could buy over 300 detonating talismans.
When you're poor, use tactical infiltration.
When you're rich, use firepower.
This was a good trump card for Sasuke at this stage.
"Um, Sasuke-kun... Should we have dinner together and discuss coping strategies? I think that way, the chances of passing the test tomorrow might be a little better."
Looking at Sasuke's handsome face, Sakura suggested nervously with a starry look in her eyes.
This was a perfect opportunity to get a date with Sasuke, and she wasn't going to miss it.
"Dinner together? Great, great! Sakura, that arrogant guy, Sasuke, won't go. We can discuss it together!"
Before Sasuke could speak, Naruto next to him stretched his neck and shouted excitedly.
With Sasuke's personality, he definitely wouldn't go.
This meant that he could have a date alone with Sakura.
So exciting!
[Sakura's suggestion is detected, triggering an E-level reward. Mission: Eat together. Reward: Substitution Technique +1.]
[Naruto's malicious suggestion was detected, triggering a 5x D-level reward. Mission: Eat together. Reward: 0.1 units of chakra.]
Listening to the system prompts that sounded one after another, Sasuke's eyes narrowed, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
"Then let's go."
Under Sakura's surprised and Naruto's astonished gaze, Sasuke turned his head and nodded with a faint smile.
His handsome face and smile made Sakura's eyes sparkle again.
He agreed!
Sasuke-kun actually agreed to her date!
She was so happy!
"Ramen, ramen, I want to eat Ichiraku ramen!"
Seeing this, Naruto hung his head and shouted angrily.
But at the same time as he felt unhappy, a sense of camaraderie he had never felt before rose in his heart.
Was this what they called a team?
Meanwhile, at the Hokage Office.
"Become Hokage, huh. Sasuke, that child is still growing in a healthy way. It seems my previous worries were unnecessary."
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at Sasuke in the crystal ball.
In this way, he could explain something to Itachi.
"Those three.. I'm suddenly looking forward to tomorrow's test."
Kakashi, who was standing next to Hiruzen, looked at the backs of Sasuke and the others having dinner together, his eyes twinkling.
They seemed to have understood a little bit of team spirit.
"Kakashi. I asked you to be the instructor for Team 7. You should know why. Whether it's Sasuke's Sharingan or the guy inside Naruto's body, they are both Konoha's precious treasures. Only you have the ability to guide Sasuke in his Sharingan training and protect Naruto from any accidents. So, I hope you will go easy on them in tomorrow's test."
Hearing that Kakashi showed a hint of interest, Hiruzen adjusted the Hokage hat and said in a deep voice.
If they failed the test tomorrow, he would have a headache.
There was no one more suitable than Kakashi to be the instructor of Team 7.
"It all depends on their performance tomorrow..."
Kakashi's eyes flashed, and he spoke ambiguously, not giving a clear answer.
This made Hiruzen's mouth twitch, and two black lines appeared on his forehead.
Was Kakashi still so strict?
However, Kakashi's strictness is not a bad thing for Naruto and Sasuke.
At Ichiraku Ramen.
"Then it's decided. Naruto, Sakura, remember to act together tomorrow."
After eating and drinking his fill, Sasuke put down his bowl and chopsticks, smiled faintly, and stood up to leave.
He didn't even give the two of them a chance to speak or try to keep him!
Dinner was over.
It was time to claim his rewards.
[Mission completed, reward obtained: Substitution Technique.]
[Mission completed, reward: 0.1 units of chakra.]
As soon as he walked out the door, Sasuke heard two system prompts in his ears.
Almost at the same time, the chakra in his body began to grow crazily.
In just less than a breath, the amount of his chakra increased by nearly 50%.
Simultaneously, Sakura's understanding of Substitution Technique became clear to him.
Originally, Sasuke thought that the reward for the Substitution Technique was useless because he already knew this basic ninjutsu.
However, after receiving the reward, his eyes lit up.
The system-rewarded Substitution Technique actually combined with his own, optimizing it.
It turned a ninjutsu that requires five hand seals into one that can be activated with three.
This wasn't as simple as one plus one equals two.
Then, Sasuke's heart moved.
He brought up the attribute panel that he had learned by heart without any instruction.
[Host: Sasuke Uchiha
Age: 12
Strength: Elite Genin
Identity: Konoha Genin (Reincarnation of Indra's Chakra)
Attributes: Fire, Thunder
Bloodline: One Tomoe Sharingan (Hidden)
Chakra: 0.3 units
Ninjutsu & Taijutsu: Three-Body Technique (E-rank), Uchiha Shuriken Technique (D-rank), Shuriken Manipulation Technique (D-rank), Substitution Technique (E-rank), Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique (C-rank)]
Looking at the simple and clear attribute panel, Sasuke couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
This strength was too weak.
Was the Sharingan just a single tomoe, and was it even in a hidden and unactivated state?
The most important thing for a ninja, chakra, only had a pitiful 0.3 units.
This was even after he had obtained a reward increase.
It was truly horrible.
