Chapter 48: Self-Introduction
But hearing these words now made Naruto want to laugh a little.
Kakashi also knew Naruto had recognized him. He curled his lip and said, pretending not to know him, "Follow me!"
Sasuke watched Kakashi's departing back and then looked at Naruto.
Naruto smiled and said, "Let's go. He's actually quite powerful. For you, he can be considered a decent teacher."
"You know him?"
Naruto smiled and walked out of the classroom door.
Meanwhile, Sakura walked up to Sasuke's side and said, "I bet Naruto doesn't really know him. He's just a student at the Ninja Academy; how could he possibly know a Jonin?"
Sasuke glanced at Sakura without saying a word and also walked out of the classroom.
The three of them soon arrived on the school rooftop.
Kakashi looked at the three of them and said in his usual lazy tone, "What should we do next? Oh, right! First, self-introductions."
Hearing about the self-introduction, Sakura asked tentatively, "What are we supposed to say in a self-introduction?"
Kakashi spread his hands and said, "Things like what you like, what you hate, dreams for the future, and hobbies... yeah, that's about it."
Sakura looked at Naruto and then at Sasuke with conflict, but finally looked at Kakashi and said, "How about... you go first, Teacher!"
Kakashi pointed to himself and said, "Me? Alright! Then I'll go first. My name is Kakashi Hatake. I don't feel like telling you what I like, I won't tell you what I hate, and as for hobbies and things I like, there are all sorts. Alright, your turn."
The corners of Sakura and Sasuke's mouths twitched as they looked at Kakashi.
Even Naruto, who knew the plot, was a bit speechless at Kakashi. Even if he was just going through the motions, he shouldn't be this dismissive!
Naruto rolled his eyes and said, "Kakashi Hatake. Graduated from the Ninja Academy at age five to become a Genin, Chunin at six, Jonin at twelve. Later joined the Anbu. Has one Sharingan and has copied over a thousand Ninjutsu, which is why he's known as the Copy Ninja and also as Konoha's Number One Technician. Likes reading icha icha paradise, hates tempura, and as for dreams... I really don't know."
Hearing Naruto's introduction of him, the corner of Kakashi's eye twitched uncontrollably.
"Kid, you sure know a lot! Then you're the next one to introduce yourself."
"What's there to introduce? You should all know me."
"Cut the crap! If I tell you to introduce yourself, then do it. I'm starting to dislike you a bit, kid."
"Tch! Uzumaki Naruto, male, twelve years old. Don't smoke, don't drink, no bad habits. Like being surrounded by beautiful women, hate being plotted against. Future dream...? To find eight or ten beauties to be my wives."
As soon as Naruto finished speaking, Sakura, afraid Naruto would lead Sasuke astray, immediately started shouting at him.
"Naruto, what kind of nonsense are you talking about! How can you have so many wives? You're being very irresponsible!"
After saying that, Sakura swung her hand to hit Naruto on the head.
Naruto wasn't on guard for a moment and actually got hit by Sakura.
However, Naruto seemed perfectly fine, while Sakura was smoking from the electric shock, standing there stiffly.
Kakashi said speechlessly, "Can you stop your Body Tempering for a moment?"
"Sorry! I didn't know she'd suddenly hit me."
Naruto deactivated the Lightning Release Body Forging Technique, and only then did Sakuraslowly slide into a kneel on the ground.
Kakashi shook his head seeing Sakura smoking like that.
"Are you okay?"
Sakura shuddered and said, "I'm fine! Does it look like I'm fine to you?"
Naruto curled his lip and looked at Sakura, saying, "Who told you to get physical for no reason? Are we even that close?"
"Who told you to talk such nonsense! What if you lead Sasuke astray?"
Naruto curled his lip and looked at Sasuke, saying, "Does he need me to lead him astray? Even if he isn't bad, he must learn to be bad."
Both Sasuke and Kakashi looked at Naruto in surprise, not quite understanding what Narutomeant by those words.
Sakura was so agitated she wanted to hit Narutoagain, but remembering the previous shock, she could only crane her neck and roar at Naruto, "On what basis do you say Sasuke must learn to be bad? On what basis? Why? Why?!"
Naruto looked at Sasuke and said, "You do your self-introduction first! I'll explain after you're done."
Sasuke glanced at Naruto, not knowing what game Naruto was playing, but he still nodded and began his self-introduction.
"My name is Uchiha Sasuke. I hate people interrupting my training. I don't particularly like anything. Also, my dream isn't just talk; I have an ambition. I will restore the Uchiha Clan, and finally, I will personally kill that man."
After Sasuke finished, Sakura froze. She felt a coldness in Sasuke's tone, and... killing intent!
Kakashi scratched his head after listening and muttered to himself, "This is really a headache! A child full of killing intent."
Sakura ignored Kakashi's muttering and looked at Naruto, saying, "Sasuke has finished his introduction. Now tell me why he has to turn bad?"
Naruto curled his lip and looked at Sasuke, asking, "Restoring the Uchiha Clan—you don't just think that becoming very strong and making a name for yourself in the Ninja World counts as restoring the Uchiha Clan, do you?"
"What else?"
Naruto said speechlessly, "You really have the thoughts of a little kid. Did you read those books I had you read in the Konoha Library for nothing? To restore the Uchiha Clan, you obviously need a population. Right now, the Uchiha Clan only consists of you and that man. If you want the Uchiha population to increase, either you marry many wives and have many children, or you let that man find many wives and have many children. Which one do you choose?"
Sasuke's mouth twitched as he listened to Naruto. His face darkened, and he was no longer in the mood to act cool.
Sasuke also felt that what Naruto said seemed correct. Restoring the Uchiha Clan required a population. Currently, the only pure-blooded members of the Uchiha Clan were him and Uchiha Itachi. No matter who had more children, it would be a good thing for the restoration of the Uchiha Clan.
Hearing Naruto's explanation, Sakura went completely numb. If she were with Sasuke, wouldn't she become a breeding tool? The thought was terrifying.
Kakashi almost burst out laughing at Naruto's explanation, but he also felt that Naruto was quite right. Regardless of whether Naruto's logic was sound, it was a good thing if it could make Sasukelet go of his killing intent.
"Last one is you. You haven't introduced yourself yet!"
Sakura lowered her head dejectedly and spoke mechanically, "The thing I like, or rather the person I like, is Sasuke. My dream is to become Sasuke's wife."
Naruto laughed heartily and patted Sasuke's shoulder, saying, "Congratulations, you already have someone willing to bear your children."
Hearing Naruto's words, Sakura was so angry that steam started rising from the top of her head.
Kakashi, not minding the chaos, also asked, "Then what do you hate?"
