I Want to Become Stronger

"Sasuke?"

Seeing Sasuke, Naruto immediately ran over excitedly.

Sasuke felt a sense of foreboding at this display.

After all, Naruto had never been this enthusiastic towards him before.

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

If I say selfish, Sasuke is afraid Naruto will hit him.

So let's just say his dedication was a little low.

"Sasuke, why didn't you go to the assembly today?" Naruto asked, feigning ignorance.

He knew perfectly well that Sasuke had been standing on a tree outside his place all night.

Naruto hadn't tried to talk him out of it at the time.

You see, Sasuke was a stubborn fool.

Once he decided something was reality, no matter what you said, he'd think you were lying to him.

So Naruto simply didn't bother trying to persuade him.

Let him suffer a bit, and he'd realize his mistake himself.

Sasuke felt a bit awkward.

He couldn't exactly say: "I was monitoring you, so I wasn't in the mood today..."

Fortunately.

Naruto wasn't one to dwell on minor details: "Forget it, don't worry about these trivial matters."

Naruto casually slung his arm over Sasuke's shoulder and said to him, "Sasuke, don't you want to get stronger?"

Hiss...

This intimate gesture?

And thinking back to the time Naruto made him wear women's clothing...

Naruto hadn't shown the slightest reaction to Sakura Haruno and Ino's advances either.

Could it be!

Naruto actually liked guys?

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

Seeing his irrelevant answer.

Naruto clicked his tongue: "Who asked you that? I'm asking if you want to get stronger."

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

Naruto frowned, his tone deepening slightly: "I know you're not gay, I'm asking you, do you want to get stronger!!"

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

Naruto was also getting annoyed: "I'm asking you!! Do you or do you not want to... huh??"

But halfway through his sentence, Naruto felt something was wrong and looked at Sasuke in horror: "You thought I was going to... you???!"

Sasuke didn't answer.

But his silence was the best answer.

Naruto silently removed his arm from Sasuke's shoulder and said to him earnestly, "Sasuke, I'm not gay either, and I'm not interested in you. I'm asking you, do you want to get stronger."

Getting Naruto's clear reply.

Sasuke didn't evade the question this time. He said directly, "Yes!"

Naruto nodded: "Alright! Then I'll tell you all about it."

Then, Naruto explained his plan.

After hearing it, Sasuke felt a flush of heat. He asked Naruto uncertainly, "Naruto, is this plan feasible?"

Naruto nodded confidently: "It's feasible! With your looks, you're guaranteed to conquer the widowed older women, young girls, married women, mistresses, single women, and even women with broken relationships in the five great villages..."

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

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

Sasuke: "How about you change the condition?"

Naruto: "No! Are you going to do it or not? Let me remind you, this is your last chance~"

"I... I'll do it," Sasuke managed to agree, a blush rising on his delicate face.

Sasuke felt he was losing out a bit, so he added, "But I have conditions. You need to teach me some real skills."

The horse stance training Naruto had taught Sasuke last time.

Sasuke had used it and felt good about it.

The effects were also very good.

But that was only one-sided training. While it improved combat, it hadn't met Sasuke's expectations.

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

Sasuke grunted and said nothing more.

He didn't know that this decision would change his entire life.

His photos would spread throughout the Ninja World.

Sasuke's future titles, from the lone survivor of the Uchiha Clan, wielder of the Mangekyo, hero of the Ninja Wars, would change to 'That guy who did photoshoots'!

Even!!

His photos were obtained by Itachi Uchiha.

When Itachi saw Sasuke posing provocatively in a Cat Ear Costume in front of the camera, who knew what he would be thinking.

Furthermore, Deidara would spread them within the Akatsuki Organization, specifically to mock Itachi Uchiha...

Inside the room.

Naruto's voice could be heard.

"Alright, it's settled then!"

"I'll go buy some weapons and equipment, and we'll start shooting first thing tomorrow morning."

"Once we get the photos, Sakura will handle the sales."

"And I'll start creating a special training program for you to get stronger."

"So you should rest now. You need to be in good condition tomorrow, preferably without dark circles under your eyes."

"Then I won't disturb you anymore. I'm leaving now."

Naruto pushed the door open and left the Uchiha compound.

Meanwhile.

Sakura Haruno was also diligently gathering market intelligence.

At Ino's flower shop.

When Ino wasn't on a mission, she would help out at the shop.

She didn't expect Sakura Haruno to visit suddenly and spout a bunch of nonsense.

Ino crossed her arms and looked at Sakura Haruno coolly, "Hmph! Sakura, give up!"

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

"I'll tell you the truth, I genuinely like Naruto. So don't even think about kicking me out of the Naruto fan club!"

Sakura Haruno was a little disappointed, "Okay..."

She was disappointed for a moment.

But it was understandable.

Ino and she had both defected from the Sasuke fan club.

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

Just as Naruto was about to leave, Ino suddenly said, "However... I can help!"

Ino thought to herself: This way, I can get closer to Naruto and stay away from the trivial matters of the flower shop. How wonderful~

Sakura Haruno and Ino found Tenten.

Tenten was currently on a mission with her squad.

Although she had graduated a year earlier than Naruto and the others, Tenten's mission today was relatively simple, just catching cats and dogs.

After hearing what Sakura Haruno and Ino had to say, Tenten shook her head slightly, "I can't, I'm a core member of the Naruto fan club~"

Two consecutive failures made Sakura Haruno a little discouraged.

Fortunately, with Ino's comfort, the two of them continued.

The two of them inquired around the village.

With patience, customers indeed started to appear.

After all, Sasuke was the famous Campus Heartthrob of the academy.

In the evening.

Sakura Haruno and Ino met up.

"If that's the case, we have seven classmates willing to buy."

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

Ino nodded, "Exactly. If these photos circulate among their classmates, and then their parents find out..."

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

After all.

Cute young boys aren't just liked by girls.

Ino realized this was a business opportunity and couldn't help but ask Sakura Haruno, "If I want to invest, how should I tell Naruto?"
