Ordinary

And there's Makoto, Choji from the Ninja Academy, Shikamaru, and so on... I never knew I, Naruto Uzumaki, had made so many good friends!

Naruto Uzumaki then handed the two half-portions of bento box in front of him to Makoto Ito!

"Makoto! You just treated us to ramen, so this meal is on me!!!"

Seeing Naruto's action, Sasuke Sakura, and Makoto Ito were all somewhat puzzled.

"Naruto, aren't you going to eat?"

All I saw was Naruto scratching his head sheepishly...

"Oh, okay! I won't eat it! After all, if Kakashi-sensei finds out I've eaten the bento, Sasuke and Sakura will lose their chance to qualify for the exam! Although I really want to eat it..."

Hearing Naruto Uzumaki's words, Makoto Ito smiled and glanced back casually at Kakashi, who was still hiding behind the tree...

Kakashi felt the time was right and jumped out from behind the tree!

Kakashi Hatake stared with dead fish eyes, but his expression was somewhat serious as he looked at Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno, and Naruto Uzumaki...

"It seems you two didn't take my words to heart! You actually dared to share your lunchboxes with Naruto! Didn't I tell you two that if you shared your lunchboxes with Naruto, you would both be disqualified from the assessment?"

Sasuke Uchiha just pursed his lips...

"Tch! I don't care about this kind of assessment! You're obviously just a businessman with no real ability, that's why you only know how to come up with these weird and wonderful things. I'm Uchiha Clan, I have the honor of being a member of the Uchiha Clan! I can't stand watching my comrades go hungry while I feast on the sidelines!!! I don't care about this kind of assessment!"

Sakura Haruno, unusually, cheered herself up and stood up abruptly!

"Sasuke is right!!! Although Naruto is an idiot and usually annoying, and I don't really want to be in the same class as him, I still have to say it!"

Now that we're in the same class, we're teammates! You weird Kakashi-sensei, what are you going to do next, steal the bell, and then not let him eat his lunch!

Look at you, so listless, clutching that dirty little book in your hand, you look like you're suffering from kidney deficiency! You're definitely not a decent person! At worst, we'll just go back to the Ninja Academy for another year, we can still graduate easily anyway!!!

Makoto Ito almost burst out laughing when he saw this! Kakashi probably never dreamed he'd get laughed at, especially since this was the bell-stealing technique he learned from the Fourth Hokage!

He remembered how the Fourth Hokage had treated his class. He recalled how the four of them had been completely outmaneuvered by the Fourth Hokage.

Why does the plot seem to be wrong when it comes to me?

Naruto was standing nearby, heard what Sasuke Uchiha Sakura Haruno said and hurriedly spoke up!

"You two shut up right now! Don't lose your chance to take the exam because of me, Kakashi-sensei! They did give me a bento box, but I didn't eat any! So they still have a chance to take the exam! I didn't eat a single bite! I can vouch for that!!!!"

All I could see was Naruto frantically trying to explain to Sasuke and Sakura ...

Makoto Ito watched this scene, smiling without saying a word. It seemed his arrival had actually strengthened the bond between the original Team 7...

[Tobirama Senju: An interesting brat!]

[Hashirama Senju: Now that's what comrades are like!]

[Minato Namikaze: It seems all three of them will pass the test!]

[Madara Uchiha: This is quite interesting! Three interesting brats, a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, an orphan of the Uchiha Clan, and a commoner ninja... comrades? How intriguing... I'm already looking forward to seeing what they'll achieve in the future!]

[Izuna Uchiha: They shouldn't be too weak, after all, one is from our Uchiha Clan and has successfully awakened the Sharingan, and the other has the Nine-Tails within her! As for that little girl, she's rather unremarkable...]

Hizashi Hyuga: Hmm, it is indeed very flat...

[Izuna Uchiha:???? I was talking about strength, what are you talking about? What do you mean by "definitely even"? Your Byakugan is certainly suspicious!]

[Hizashi Hyuga: I meant the strength is pretty even... What did you think I was talking about? You're not thinking in some weird direction, are you?]

[Izuna Uchiha: It's clearly you who said something strange!]

Hizashi Hyuga: Tch, what a filthy-minded guy!

[Makoto Ito: I'm pretty flat-chested anyway, definitely not as good as my Hinata!]

Hizashi Hyuga: Shut up, brat!!! When did Hinata become yours? You filthy, disgusting brat!!! What are you always observing?

[Makoto Ito:???? I was talking about strength! Uncle Hizashi, what did you think I was talking about? I was talking about Sakura Haruno's strength. Compared to my Hinata, it's really quite ordinary... You're not thinking dirty thoughts, are you? No way, no way, no one really has such dirty thoughts, right?]

[Hizashi Hyuga: Uh... Anyway, Hinata isn't yours!!!]

[Makoto Ito: It was bound to happen sooner or later!]

At this moment, outside, Kakashi Hatake stared at the three of them with a serious expression...

Although Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto said these things, they were all very nervous inside. After all, going back to the Ninja Academy for another year would be too embarrassing!

But the next moment, Kakashi laughed...
