Do You Want to Become Stronger?

"Sasuke?"

The moment Naruto spotted Sasuke, he eagerly ran over.

Seeing this, Sasuke immediately sensed trouble.

Naruto had never been this enthusiastic toward him before.

And Naruto was the kind of person who was rather...

Calling him selfish might make Sasuke afraid Naruto would hit him.

So it was better to say his spirit of self-sacrifice was somewhat lacking.

"Sasuke, why didn't you go to the gathering today?" Naruto knowingly asked.

Of course, he knew Sasuke had stood in the tree outside his place all night.

Naruto had not tried to persuade him at the time, either.

After all, Sasuke was a stubborn blockhead.

Once he decided something was reality, no matter what anyone said, he would think they were lying to him.

So Naruto simply did not bother trying to persuade him.

He would let Sasuke suffer a little, and then he would realize his own mistake.

Sasuke became somewhat embarrassed.

He could not exactly say, "I had no energy today because I was watching you..."

Fortunately.

Naruto was not one to fuss over trivialities. "Forget it, don't worry about such small things."

Naruto casually draped an arm over Sasuke's shoulder and said, "Sasuke, don't you want to become stronger?"

Hiss...

That intimate gesture?

And then there was the time Naruto had made him wear women's clothing...

Naruto had also shown absolutely no response to Sakura Haruno and Ino's pursuits.

Could it be!

Naruto really liked boys?

Sasuke felt uncomfortable all over. He twisted his slender waist and said in a strange tone, "Naruto, I... I like girls."

Seeing that Sasuke had answered the wrong question.

Naruto clicked his tongue. "Who asked you that? I'm asking whether you want to become stronger."

Lowering his head, Sasuke softly said, "I'm not gay, Naruto."

Naruto frowned, his tone growing sharper. "I know you're not gay. I'm asking you whether you want to become stronger!!"

Sasuke said, "I won't sell my body, Naruto."

Naruto was getting annoyed too. "I'm asking you!! Do you want to become... huh??"

But halfway through, Naruto realized something was wrong. He stared at Sasuke in horror. "You think I want to make a move on you???!"

Sasuke did not answer.

But his silence was the best answer.

Naruto silently removed his arm from Sasuke's shoulders and earnestly said, "Sasuke, I'm not gay either, and I'm not interested in you. I'm asking whether you want to become stronger."

Having received Naruto's clear answer.

This time, Sasuke did not avoid the question. He said directly, "I do!"

Naruto nodded. "Alright! Then let me explain it to you properly."

After that, Naruto laid out his plan.

After hearing it, Sasuke felt heat spread through his entire body. Uncertainly, he asked Naruto, "Naruto, will this plan work?"

Naruto nodded confidently. "It'll work! With your looks, you'll definitely conquer the widows, middle-aged women, young girls, wives, mistresses, older single women, and women with broken relationships from the Five Great Villages, even..."

Sasuke pretended to hesitate. "But I don't think this will work."

Naruto frowned. "Don't worry about whether it'll work. Even if it fails, I won't go back on my word."

Sasuke said, "How about you change the condition?"

Naruto said, "No! Are you doing the shoot or not? I'm warning you, this is your last chance~"

"I... I'll do it." A flushed red spread across Sasuke's delicate face as he reluctantly agreed.

Sasuke felt that he was getting the worse end of the deal, so he added, "But I have a condition. You need to show me some real skills and teach me."

That Horse Stance Training Naruto had taught Sasuke last time.

Sasuke had used it and felt great.

Its effects had also been very good.

But it was only a single form of training. Though it had improved his combat ability quite a bit, it had not met Sasuke's expectations.

Naruto assured Sasuke, "Don't worry, Sasuke. When have I ever lied to anyone?"

Sasuke gave a quiet hum and said nothing more.

He did not know that this decision would change his life.

His photos would spread across the entire ninja world.

Sasuke's future titles would change from Uchiha Clan survivor, Mangekyo wielder, and hero of the Ninja World War.

To "that guy who took glamour photos"!

Even!!

His photos would end up in Itachi Uchiha's hands.

When Itachi saw Sasuke posing seductively before the camera in a Cat Ear Costume.

Who knew how he would feel.

And Deidara would spread them throughout the Akatsuki Organization, specifically to mock Itachi Uchiha...

Inside the room.

Naruto's voice rang out.

"Alright, then it's settled!"

"I'll go buy some weapons and equipment. The shoot will begin first thing tomorrow morning."

"Once we have the photos, Sakura will sell them."

"And I'll start designing a special training program to make you stronger."

"Get some rest now. You need to be in good shape tomorrow, preferably without dark circles under your eyes."

"I won't disturb you any longer. I'll be going now."

Naruto pushed open the door and left the Uchiha compound.

Elsewhere.

Sakura Haruno was also working hard to gather market intelligence.

At the Ino family flower shop.

Whenever Ino was not on a mission, she helped out at the shop.

Unexpectedly, Sakura Haruno suddenly came to visit and spouted a whole bunch of nonsense.

Ino crossed her arms and looked coldly at Sakura Haruno. "Hmph! Sakura, just give up!"

"Sasuke's photos? Who cares about that!"

"I'll tell you honestly, I sincerely like Naruto. Don't even think about kicking me out of Naruto's fan club!"

Sakura Haruno was somewhat disappointed. "Alright..."

She was disappointed for a moment.

But it made sense.

Both she and Ino had defected from Sasuke's fan club.

They had even become high-ranking members of Naruto's fan club.

Just as Sakura Haruno was about to leave, Ino suddenly said, "But... I can help!"

Ino thought, This way, I can get close to Naruto and get away from the tedious flower shop chores. How wonderful~

Sakura Haruno and Ino found Tenten.

Tenten was currently carrying out a mission with her team.

Although she had graduated a year earlier than Naruto and the others.

Tenten's mission today was rather simple, merely catching cats and teasing dogs.

After listening to Sakura Haruno and Ino, Tenten gently shook her head. "No, I'm a core member of Naruto's fan club~"

Two consecutive failures left Sakura Haruno somewhat discouraged.

Fortunately, Ino comforted her, and the two continued on.

They gathered information around the village.

Once they became patient, customers truly began to appear.

After all, Sasuke was the school's famous Campus Heartthrob.

That night.

Sakura Haruno and Ino gathered together.

"With this, seven classmates are willing to buy them."

Sakura Haruno predicted, "After these classmates buy them, they'll show off in front of their classmates, indirectly bringing us more customers."

Ino nodded. "That's right. If these photos start circulating among the students, and their parents find out..."

The two exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Then we'll make even more money!"

After all.

It was not just girls who liked cute little boys.

Realizing this was a business opportunity, Ino could not help asking Sakura Haruno, "If I want to invest, how should I bring it up to Naruto?"
