The camera slowly moved upward from the feet in frame, inching up along the hem of the skirt.
As the skirt was pulled up, Sparkle's white stockings underneath were revealed.
[Holy shit, porridge!]
[In accordance with porridge etiquette.]
[A close-up with a clear purpose.]
[Food! Delicious food!]
[Holy shit! They really are white stockings!]
[Kill the prophet.]
[White stockings! White stockings! White stockings!]
[With white stockings, I can eat three bowls of rice!]
[This matter was also recorded in the Porridge Game.]
"With these white stockings, I can eat three bowls of rice." — Yu Dafu
[Time to dig in~]
[Ice cream~ Ice cream~]
[Too bad Geta don't keep your feet warm, sigh...]
[Ah Wei is dead] ×n
As the skirt rose little by little, Sparkle directly turned her long dress into a short skirt. The long kimono instantly became a postmodern short-skirt kimono. Sparkle moved slowly, but the Danmaku count surged wildly.
After retightening her sash, Sparkle stretched her body a little.
[That's sick, there's actually a second form.]
[Holy shit, they aren't thigh-highs—they're garters!]
[prprprpr]
While Sparkle stretched over here, the Danmaku over there had already exploded.
High-heeled sandals paired with white garter stockings—the netizens of this generation had absolutely no resistance.
Under this ultimate trump card, Sparkle's Popularity Points also rose frantically.
But Sparkle merely smiled and put on her mask.
The real show was yet to come.

"Since all of you are ready, then—"
Kakashi took out the alarm clock he had prepared and set it for twelve o'clock.
Then Kakashi took out two bells. "Today's assignment is to take these bells from me before noon. Anyone who fails to get a bell gets no lunch and will be tied to that post over there to watch me eat."
Sasuke checked the time, then glanced at Sparkle. "It's 11:10 now. In other words, we only have fifty minutes. First, we were made to skip breakfast. Then we came to the training ground at five, exhausting our stamina. Now, just before noon, he gives us an assignment to make us anxious... Sparkle, had you already considered this far ahead?"
Naturally, Sparkle could not hear Sasuke's inner monologue. However, Sasuke's shocked voice on the screen beside her sparked a wave of Danmaku. Unfortunately, everyone was still reeling from Sparkle's "ice cream," so the topic did not turn back around.
Kakashi continued, "Those who fail to take a bell will be sent back to the academy. At least one of you will go back, and possibly all of you."
"So it's verbal provocation next?" Sasuke nodded to himself.
It really felt like... Sparkle had predicted everything.
Sparkle tilted her head.
She had no idea why Sasuke had suddenly started overthinking things, but this was a great development.
However, Kakashi noticed that Naruto had been staring at him with a very strange look the whole time.
"Do you have something else to say, Naruto?"
"You're not going to use some kind of trap, are you? You've been acting ever since the blackboard eraser. You're actually one of those really devious adults, aren't you?"
"This guy..." Sasuke covered his face speechlessly.
"What if I said... I really didn't notice? I was lost at a crossroads in life at the time, so I didn't notice." Kakashi scratched his head.
For some reason, he felt as if his image in the hearts of these three had become... well, some sort of master schemer?
"Tch." Naruto folded his arms and turned away. "Who the hell understands that?!"
[Char's famous line.]
[The one who said that was Cruze, not Char.]
[Sparkle, she's the woman who could become my mother.]
[Damn, Char himself has appeared.]
[At twelve years old, it actually seems possible?]
Naruto genuinely just had not understood, but the audience knew perfectly well how to add drama for themselves.
Kakashi clapped his hands. Though he did not know the exact situation, he decided to begin the test first. "All right, then the exercise begins."
The moment he finished speaking, Sasuke leaped away. Sparkle took a step back, and her figure gradually faded like an afterimage.
But Naruto remained where he was.
"Come on, let's settle this fair and square!" Naruto shouted, yelling about victory and defeat.
Kakashi was immediately speechless at the sight. "Is there something wrong with you?"
"Hmph, who knows what kind of schemes you have up your sleeve? Anyway, if it's a fair fight, you won't be able to use those underhanded tricks, right?" Naruto looked rather proud of himself.
"What exactly am I supposed to be in your minds?" Kakashi increasingly felt that his reputation had been ruined.
"Enough talk!" Naruto charged forward, but when he saw Kakashi raise a hand, he cautiously stopped again. "You really are trying to pull some dirty trick!"
"Ninja Principle Number One: Taijutsu. Let me teach you."
As he spoke, Kakashi reached into his pocket and pulled out a... small yellow book.
The most famous novel in the Naruto World—Icha Icha Paradise.
"Huh?" Naruto was instantly dumbfounded.
"What's wrong? Come at me already." Kakashi read while waiting for Naruto.
"So there really is some kind of scheme!" Kakashi had completely thrown Naruto off, to the point that he started repeating himself.
"I'm just curious about what happens next. Don't mind me. I can deal with you while reading. As for setting up schemes against you—I'd rather read a couple more books."
Once Kakashi understood the situation, he immediately knew how to handle it. Since they thought he was playing tricks, he just had to let them know that he did not need tricks at all.
The provocation worked extremely well.
"You bastard!"
Naruto immediately forgot all about schemes and tricks. His blood rushed to his head, and he charged forward.
"Take this spinning kick!" Naruto shouted, only for Kakashi to block it with one hand. Then Kakashi vanished, leaving Naruto bewildered. "Huh?"
"A ninja must never leave his back wide open, idiot." At some point, Kakashi had circled behind Naruto. He formed the Tiger hand seal with both hands. "Konoha Taijutsu Secret Technique: One Thousand Years of Death!"
Naruto was sent straight into the river after getting stabbed in the ass.
However, Naruto immediately used the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu in the water. As he climbed back onto shore, his clone hid beneath the surface. Only when Kakashi approached did it suddenly strike, restraining Kakashi from behind.
"A ninja must never leave his back wide open, Teacher Kakashi!"
Naruto was quite pleased with himself and immediately prepared to punch Kakashi. But Kakashi used a Substitution Technique, effortlessly neutralizing Naruto's attack. He even substituted Naruto's clone into the spot where the punch landed. Naruto thought Kakashi had transformed into him, so the clones brawled for quite a while. By the time the clones dispersed, Kakashi was long gone.
Then, after spotting the bells on the ground, Naruto went over and got caught again, suspended from a trap.
"Damn it, didn't you say there were no schemes or tricks?"
"Don't fall for such an obvious trap, idiot. This isn't a scheme or trick. It's just basic ninja tactics."
"Now!" At that moment, Sasuke finally found an opening in Kakashi's defense and threw a shuriken.
But Sasuke's attack only struck a piece of wood. Instead, Sasuke himself had exposed his position and was forced to flee, though he was still caught up to in the end.
"Now!" But that was precisely Sasuke's trap.
The corner of Sasuke's mouth curled up slightly.
He threw a shuriken that severed a rope in the distance. Countless short blades, kunai, and shuriken immediately flew toward Kakashi.
Kakashi had already seen through it, but when he stopped, he fell right into Sasuke's plan once more.
Sasuke had already circled around ahead of time. As he leaped out, he turned his body to the left and used centrifugal force to launch a kick from behind Kakashi.
After Kakashi blocked it with his left palm, he immediately grabbed Sasuke's left foot with his right hand.
This too seemed to have been anticipated by Sasuke, who used it as a pivot to swing his right hand. Kakashi naturally blocked with his left hand.
Sasuke continued swinging his body, attacking Kakashi's head with his remaining right foot. With both hands occupied, Kakashi had no choice but to raise his left elbow and block it.
Every attack had clearly been parried, yet Sasuke wore a triumphant smile.
Kakashi's hands were sealed, but he still had his left hand!
Sasuke reached out, but Kakashi shoved him away.
"Not bad at all—huh?!"
Just as Kakashi was about to speak, he discovered that Sasuke, still in midair, had begun forming hand seals.
—Against a dangerous Jonin like this, there was no need to fight with honor.
After Sparkle had filled him with ideas about "evil Jonin Kakashi," Sasuke also understood that he could not fight this opponent honorably.
He had to deceive. He had to ambush.
"Horse! Tiger! Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"
The instant he landed, Sasuke completed the seals.
The enormous fireball incinerated everything before Sasuke's eyes.
"He disappeared?!" Yet after the Ninjutsu ended, Sasuke found that Kakashi had vanished.
"Earth Style: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique!"
Then Sasuke was dragged underground as well.
"My, my, you really don't give people any time to react. Using Fire Style at such a young age... One after another, all stirred up by Sparkle."
Sasuke's relentless rapid assault made Kakashi start fighting without honor as well.
Only after dragging Sasuke completely underground did Kakashi finally have the leisure to make a few snide remarks.
"Ninja Principle Number Two: Ninjutsu."
After dealing with Sasuke, Kakashi began searching for Sparkle.
"Over here? Why is there a fragrance? Has my nose stopped working?"
Sparkle had hidden herself well and set up all sorts of interference and cover, but Kakashi still sensed movement in the woods.
"Then next is—!!!"
