28: Chapter 28 Hinata! That wretched Sasuke!He sat up straight like a spring, pointed to the headband on his forehead, and said with pride:
"Hehe!Look!Look!Look what this is!A ninja headband!I, Naruto Uzumaki, am a ninja now!"
"So, what do you think?Doesn't this headband suit me perfectly?It looks amazing, doesn't it!"
Naruto's undisguised excitement and loud voice instantly attracted the attention of everyone else in the classroom.
All eyes turned to the source of the sound, landing on the blond boy with a headband and a bright smile.
Surprise, curiosity, friendliness.a variety of emotions flashed in the students' eyes.
Most people gave him friendly smiles, and a few boys even nodded at him from a distance.
After all, once we graduate, we'll be companions.
Meanwhile, in the corner on the other side of the classroom, Hinata Hyuga had already noticed Naruto's arrival.
While Naruto and Shikamaru were talking loudly, her pure Byakugan eyes stared intently at Naruto without blinking.
Her little face was flushed, her hands were nervously clasped together, and her heart was filled with heartfelt joy for Naruto's successful graduation:
'Naruto.Naruto-kun.That's great.'
Just then, a series of hurried and chaotic footsteps came from outside the classroom!
"I won!"
"I was here first!"
Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka, like two tornadoes, squeezed through the narrow classroom doorway at the same time, almost simultaneously announcing that they were the "first to arrive at the classroom"!
Immediately, the two began to argue fiercely over the meaningless title of "first place" like two fighting cocks, their cherry-colored and white hair almost intertwined.
Naruto's eyes lit up the moment he saw Sakura, and a silly grin involuntarily spread across his face: "Sakura-chan."
He scratched the back of his head, looking somewhat embarrassed at the pink figure.
Perhaps Naruto's gaze was too intense, because Sakura, who was arguing with Ino, subconsciously turned her head to look over.
Her gaze first swept over Naruto, then locked precisely on him.
On Uchiha Sasuke in the seat next to him!
Sasuke was quietly looking out the window, as if the noise in the classroom had nothing to do with him.
His aloof profile was exceptionally clear in the sunlight.
Sakura's face turned even pinker than her hair in an instant!
She instantly forgot her argument with Ino and ignored Naruto beside her, rushing over with astonishing speed.Instinctively, she tried to shove Naruto, who was blocking Sasuke's seat, aside: "Get out of the way!"
However, at this moment, Naruto, who combined Luffy's combat instincts with Ichigo's sharp reflexes, reacted with astonishing speed!
Just as Sakura's hand was about to touch him, he slipped to the side like an eel and easily dodged.
"Huh?"
Sakura missed her target and was momentarily stunned, but Sasuke's allure instantly overshadowed her doubt.
She immediately cupped her face in her hands, adopted an incredibly shy expression, and moved closer to Sasuke's table, her voice so sweet it could drip honey:
"Sa.Sasuke-kun~ Good morning!Um.may I sit here?"
This statement is like a boulder thrown into a calm lake!
Buzz—!
The girls in the classroom, who had been eyeing the room but holding back for the time being because of each other, suddenly erupted into a frenzy!
"Sakura!You're too cunning!"
"I should be sitting next to Sasuke!"
"I was here first!"
"Get away from me!"
A group of girls, like bees drawn to the fragrance of flowers, swarmed around Sasuke's seat and started arguing noisily, all wanting to occupy the "throne" next to Sasuke.
Sasuke, surrounded by girls, merely frowned slightly, as if bothered by the noise.He glanced coldly around before turning his gaze back to the window, as if it were all irrelevant to him.
That indifference and aloofness only fueled the girls' desire to conquer, and the arguments grew louder.
Naruto stood on the outside, watching Sakura and the other girls blushing as they fought over a seat next to Sasuke.His earlier excitement and pride were instantly extinguished, replaced by a sour anger.
He stared at the black-haired boy who was being fawned over, completely baffled:
'That arrogant guy… what's so cool about him compared to me?He just has slightly darker hair and darker eyes, and he's always putting on that cool face!Ugh!'
"idiot!"
In the space of consciousness, Ichigo's angry curses rang out like thunder, startling Naruto.
"Why are you cursing me, Ichigo!" Naruto retorted inwardly.
"I'm calling you an idiot because you're a complete moron!"
Ichigo's voice was full of disappointment and frustration, "What do little girls this age know?They only know how to look at a face!"
Look at yourself!You're always so sloppy, your clothes are wrinkled, and your hair is a mess.How many times have I reminded you to pay attention to your appearance?Have you ever listened?
"With your abilities, how can you compare to that pretentious Uchiha?"
Naruto was speechless after being rebuked, and subconsciously looked down at his orange jacket, which was clean but obviously not smooth.
"Then.then what do you suggest we do?" Naruto asked, looking aggrieved.
"Hmph," Ichigo snorted, his tone softening slightly, "Your Sakura Haruno doesn't even see you!But."
He changed the subject, a hint of amusement in his voice, "I noticed earlier that there's a rather cute girl who seems to have a thing for you?"
"Who?Who's interested in me?"
Naruto immediately perked up, his eyes shining as he looked around, completely forgetting his earlier gloom.
"Tsk, are you blind?Right behind you, that girl with black hair and white eyes, who's been secretly watching you."
Ichigo sighed and pointed out, "You, have you never noticed this before?"
"Huh?Hinata?"
Naruto was taken aback, looking at the quiet, head-down figure sitting in the corner with a puzzled expression.The eldest daughter of the Xiang family.
She always seemed timid and had a very low profile.
"Really?Her?"
Naruto expressed serious doubt, "I don't think so."
"Idiot!Why don't you try it and see?" Ichigo said irritably.
"Oh.okay."
Naruto was skeptical, but with the thought of "what if," he scratched his head and, with a bit of foolishness and a tentative air, walked straight up to the nervous Hinata.
"Hey, Hinata!"
Naruto extended his hand and greeted him in a carefree manner, his voice as cheerful as ever, "Hello!I'm Uzumaki Naruto!"
"!"
It felt like being struck by lightning!
Hinata jolted, looked up, and her pure, flawless Byakugan met Naruto's deep blue eyes.
An uncontrollable surge of heat rushed to the top of my head!
"Naruto.Naruto Naruto-kun?"
Hinata's face turned bright red at a visible speed, and steam seemed to be coming out of her head!
