You're Wasting Time, Teme

Naruto announced on the spot, "Since we graduated on Friday, today is Saturday."

"I only called everyone together today to hand this schedule to you."

"And then?"

"Dismissed!"

Sasuke and Sakura Haruno: "Huh?"

Sasuke hurriedly said, "Naruto, don't you think this is a bit too much?"

Naruto paused in the middle of making his escape, asking in confusion, "What's too much about it?"

Sasuke: "..."

As a ninja.

Only doing missions one day a week.

And even then, it was just "see if there are any missions we want to do."

So if there weren't any, they just wouldn't do missions at all?

Secondly.

As a ninja.

Only training one day a week?

Didn't everyone else wish they could use one day as two?

And three days every week were spent hanging out together.

Two of those days were even spent cultivating together!

Damn it.

Were you running a company here???

"Little Sasuke, you should know that strength has to be built step by step."

Naruto patted Sasuke's shoulder and said earnestly, "I made this schedule so relaxed precisely to give you time to train!"

Sasuke looked at Naruto suspiciously.

He felt Naruto was deceiving him.

But he couldn't find any proof.

Naruto glanced at Sakura Haruno, his little fangirl.

He suddenly came up with an idea.

"How about this?" Naruto said. "Let's vote. The minority follows the majority."

"What do you think, Sasuke?"

With a lovesick girl like Sakura Haruno around, Naruto was guaranteed to win.

Sasuke naturally knew that too, so he compromised. "Naruto, I can accept your daily schedule, but you have to call me whenever you train..."

Even at this point.

Sasuke was still obsessed with and curious about Naruto's so-called training methods.

Naruto knew that if he didn't compromise, Sasuke would never let it go.

After thinking for a moment, he said to Sasuke, "Fine. You can watch from the side when I train."

"Also, the missions we take each week must be at least C-rank. That way, we can build up real combat experience."

"Secondly, every Tuesday and Thursday, I can give you one chance to challenge me."

"That way, you can find your shortcomings through defeat and make up for them."

"How about it?"

Although the intensity was still very low.

It was clearly much better than before.

Naturally, Sasuke had no reason to disagree.

However, Sasuke was extremely unconvinced by Naruto's words.

What did he mean by finding his shortcomings through defeat?

And then being able to make up for them?

The way Naruto said it.

Made it seem as though his strength could keep Sasuke suppressed forever!

But Sasuke didn't show his dissatisfaction.

Instead, he swore that one day, he would surpass Naruto Uzumaki.

Then he would make Naruto Uzumaki find his shortcomings through defeat as well...

Sakura Haruno watched Naruto from the side with a beaming smile.

Seeing her like that, Naruto asked, "Sakura, do you agree?"

"Huh?" Sakura Haruno seemed to snap out of a dream. "Agree with what? What am I agreeing with? Naruto's words, right? Then I agree."

Naruto and Sasuke: "..."

Good grief.

You didn't even know what Naruto said, did you?

"Alright, then we're dismissed!" Naruto announced before turning to leave.

But after taking only a few steps, Naruto heard footsteps behind him.

When he turned around.

He found Sasuke and Sakura Haruno still following him.

Sasuke said calmly, "You're definitely going back to train. I want to see it for myself."

Sakura Haruno scratched her head. "It's nothing like that for me. I just want to follow you."

Naruto: "..."

Today was Saturday.

According to the schedule Naruto had made.

Today was vacation time.

Naruto didn't say much about Sasuke and Sakura Haruno following him.

Sasuke believed Naruto would definitely train in private.

Naturally, it was so Sasuke wouldn't surpass him.

Sakura Haruno was a lovestruck girl, so there was no point mentioning her.

Naruto didn't go home. Instead, he bought some gifts and went to visit Iruka.

At noon.

Naruto and Iruka went to Ichiraku Ramen.

"The ramen's here~"

Ayame placed the ramen in front of Naruto and casually rubbed his head. "Little Naruto has gotten cuter and cuter lately~"

After eating the ramen, Naruto rushed to pay the bill.

After seeing Iruka home.

Naruto returned home.

Sasuke was already close to losing patience.

But when he saw Naruto return home, excitement filled his heart.

He was going to train!

But what Sasuke never expected was that Naruto actually started taking a nap...

Only after sleeping for two whole hours did Naruto get up.

That afternoon, Naruto went to find Hinata.

Hinata's team was being led by Kurenai Yuhi on a low-level mission to catch a cat.

Naruto tagged along with Kurenai Yuhi's team for half the day.

Sasuke was completely dumbfounded.

He truly hadn't expected Naruto to be genuinely slacking off, rather than pretending to slack off.

Could Naruto's strength really rely entirely on talent and bloodline?

That wasn't normal...

By evening, Sasuke had no choice but to leave.

Meanwhile, Sakura Haruno found things a little boring.

Because Naruto and Hinata kept openly flaunting their affection, she had no way to intervene at all.

And so, Saturday came to an end.

Sunday.

Sasuke got up early.

"Naruto Uzumaki will definitely train on Sunday."

"He definitely will!"

"With strength as powerful as his, if he doesn't train, his strength might even decline."

And so, Sasuke came to Naruto's house.

Through the window, he saw that Naruto still wasn't awake...

It was nearly noon before Naruto finally opened his eyes and sat up.

Next came washing up, doing laundry, and eating.

After finishing, Naruto left the house.

Then he spotted Sasuke standing outside.

"Oh? Sasuke? Shouldn't you be training at home?" Naruto asked in surprise.

Sasuke's face flushed red. "Are you really not going to train?"

Naruto shrugged. "I already told you the right answer, but you didn't believe me. What can I do?"

"Alright, alright. Hinata isn't on a mission today. We agreed to go shopping and watch a movie."

"You don't want to be a third wheel, do you, teme?"

Sasuke: "..."

Going shopping and watching a movie with Hinata?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

He definitely wanted to send me away so he could train with Hinata.

Without saying a word, Sasuke continued following behind Naruto.

Sakura Haruno didn't come today.

Because she knew that if Hinata was there, she wouldn't have a chance to make a move.

And Sasuke simply followed behind Naruto.

He watched helplessly as Naruto and Hinata went on a date all afternoon.

By evening, the sun was setting.

Naruto escorted Hinata back to the Hyuga Compound.

"Naruto, see you next time~" Hinata said goodbye to Naruto with a smile.

Naruto waved back at her.

Only then did Naruto turn around and see Sasuke, who had followed him all day and was now questioning his entire life.

Naruto said helplessly, "You're wasting your training time, teme."

Sasuke stood there, the skin on his face twitching slightly.

At that moment.

He seemed to realize a terrifying fact.

That was...

Naruto really didn't need to train!

He was still this strong without training.

Was that fair?
