"Hyuga..."
Sasuke had just risen to his feet and walked toward Hinata when, before he could say two words—
"Stupid Sasuke, what are you doing here? Looking for a beating?"
Before he could finish speaking, Naruto blocked his way.
"You're annoying. I don't feel like arguing with you right now, so get lost." Sasuke looked thoroughly impatient.
"I won't... ah! I get it. Don't tell me you want to team up with Hinata? Don't even think about it. That's impossible!"
Sasuke's face flushed as if Naruto had exposed his thoughts, though it was hard to tell.
Sasuke secretly glanced at Hinata, not daring to meet her eyes.
"No!"
Sakura, Ino, and the rest of Sasuke's fangirls screamed loudly. If Sasuke and Hinata really teamed up, then as members of the same team, spending time together like that... what if they ended up together?
Most of the boys in class also stared at Sasuke with unfriendly looks.
"He actually dares?"
"I never even thought of doing that."
"Just try agreeing to him!"
At that moment, they had completely forgotten that this was only a temporary team-up. More importantly, Sasuke had not formally invited Hinata, and Hinata had not agreed.
"Naruto." Hinata spoke up then.
"What is it, Hinata?" Naruto replied instantly.
"You should team up with Sasuke."
Naruto and Sasuke: "???"
What did she mean?
Naruto was dumbfounded, and so was Sasuke.
Even the classmates watching from the side looked stunned.
They had considered that Hinata might reject Sasuke's invitation, but they had never expected her to try pairing Naruto and Sasuke together!
"Who would team up with him?!" Naruto and Sasuke said in unison.
""Don't you know how annoying this guy is?""
""Stop copying me!""
""You're the one copying me!""
The two leaned closer and closer, their faces nearly smashing
