Return to the original work?

This graffiti of a big head looks just like Naruto Uzumaki himself!

At this time, only Naruto's companions and Konoha's higher-ups would pay extra attention to him, but they had no reason to graffiti in this hidden corner.

Then there's only one possibility left.

"A new... Transmigrator..."

Naruto murmured softly, all the organs in his chest seeming to churn together.

The new arrival is most likely in the classroom!

And there's no rule that only one can come at a time, so strictly speaking, it's at least one!

In fact, Naruto doesn't fear any challenge. Even a group fight is fine; he doesn't mind letting everyone understand the value of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

The problem is that he doesn't know who the Transmigrator is, and this kind of unknown fear naturally destroys his sense of security.

Sakura leaned in and whispered, "Next..."

"Next, I'm going to 'act' like the slightly dense Naruto from the original story, trying my best not to let the Transmigrator see through me." Naruto felt his heart pounding violently.

"Do you remember the plot?"

"...Anyway, I have to yell at everyone. You also remember to act like Sakura from the plot."

"Mhm."

Sasuke also came closer, vaguely hearing their conversation, and found it incredibly bizarre.

What jealousy? Jealous of whom?

The three pushed open the door and walked into the classroom.

A large crowd had gathered in the classroom, all staring at the newcomers with unfriendly expressions.

"Who could it be..." Naruto took advantage of just entering the classroom to continuously scan his surroundings.

He found nothing unusual. Rather, there were simply too many people, making it impossible to take it all in.

"What's next?" Naruto was stumped; he couldn't recall the details of this part of the plot.

"Pfft!" Suddenly, the sound of clothing rustling came from behind. Naruto turned his head sharply, his eyes instantly turning red.

"Sasuke-kun, it's been so long, I really wanted to see you sooner~"

A girl with golden hair tied into a ponytail affectionately hugged Sasuke from behind. He looked disgusted.

Naruto instantly remembered the plot and quickly returned to normal, whispering to Sakura, "A woman... a woman... Ah!"

Sakura quietly pinched Naruto's waist, then stepped forward and shouted at Ino, "Stupid Ino, take your hands off him!"

The address seemed to be ingrained in her instincts.

"Huh, it's Sakura. Your forehead is still so big, ugly!"

"Say that again?" Sakura calmly put on her gloves, and a Chakra fluctuation instantly emanated from her, scaring Ino into taking two steps back.

"Sis, calm down! You're acting!" Naruto's voice changed in his haste. Only then did Sakura stop.

"Sorry, seeing her groveling like that just makes me angry."

Naruto rubbed his forehead. This woman's temper was too explosive...

"You guys are here for the exam too... What a pain..." At this moment, Shikamaru's voice came from behind in a timely manner. After that, the rest of Konoha's rookies filed out, bantering with the people around them.

Naruto did his best to fit the original character, exclaiming, "I will definitely not lose to any of you!" He crossed his arms, his eyes holding a touch of clear foolishness, causing Sasuke to look at Naruto repeatedly.

This guy was quite composed before; why was he so hyped up now?

Recalling Naruto's previous actions, he would never do anything meaningless... Wait, I see now. Just like when he caught Gato, he's fishing... Acting arrogant first, and then when someone gets annoyed and makes a move, he can test their strength and intimidate everyone!

Sasuke felt he had grasped the truth completely.

On the other side, Kabuto Yakushi was attracted by the noise of the rookies and came over to remind them.

"You're the nine newcomers who just graduated from the Ninja Academy, aren't you? All this chattering is giving me a headache..."

Meanwhile, Naruto began to ponder whether it would be his turn for a 'lion's roar' after Kabuto finished his cue.

Everyone was attracted by Kabuto's Ninja Scrolls, but Sasuke kept glancing at Naruto.

Hmm, just as he thought, he looks carefree, but his eyes are constantly darting around, clearly assessing the opponents' strength.

"In short, these are all elite Genin from various countries..." Kabuto's voice carried, but Sasuke was deaf to it. He didn't even ask for information about Rock Lee and the others as he did in the original story.

What is he doing?

Why is his body trembling?

Sasuke stared intently at Naruto. His body was slightly hunched, his head lowered, appearing to be gathering strength. Sakura beside him seemed about to comfort Naruto.

But then, Naruto took a deep breath, exhaling all the air in his chest, his voice booming like a bell.

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki! I will never lose to any of you!!"

Instantly, everyone in the examination hall was drawn by Naruto's loud voice and looked over in unison.

As expected! Sasuke was startled at first, then his face showed an expression of 'just as I thought,' but soon he frowned tightly.

Soon, someone else would take the bait, and then Naruto would beat that person up, showcasing his strength.

But why did it feel so uncomfortable?

In the original story, Sasuke was usually the one exuding an imposing aura. Whether it was the battle in the Land of Waves or the Chunin Exams, he always managed to shine effortlessly. He never cared about whether he could show off in a cool way; that kind of aura was completely natural.

But for some reason, now, he felt that Naruto had preempted him, doing everything he wanted to do.

In short, Naruto had stolen all the glory!

Meanwhile, Naruto had just finished what was an extremely embarrassing 'public confession' for him. He wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground, yet he admired the original Naruto's powerful thought process.

A few seconds later, a Sound Ninja named Dosu, wrapped up like a mummy and wearing a fur-lined coat, weaved through the crowd.

"Here they come!" Naruto muttered quietly, then retreated two or three steps.

According to the original story, Kabuto would be beaten up by this guy.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened!

Another figure in blue approached Dosu like a ghost. Dosu's eyelids twitched, and he pulled back the sleeve on his arm, revealing a mechanism filled with holes.

It was Sasuke!

He snorted coldly, leaped into the air, and stepped on Dosu's arm, disrupting his punch. He then pulled out a kunai and knocked down all the shuriken thrown by the gray-haired Sound Ninja, Zaku.

Afterward, he did a few backflips. The moment he landed, Dosu closed in and slashed viciously at Sasuke with his right hand!

BANG!!

A dull thud echoed. Sasuke pulled a transparent steel wire he had nailed to the ground, instantly adjusting his position. He then landed a heavy punch on Dosu's left cheek, sending him tumbling several times before being caught by the other two Sound Ninjas.

Everyone's eyes widened. Everything had happened so fast that before they could react, the battle was over.

Sasuke, alone, had fought the Sound Ninjas without falling behind!

"Sasuke, are you okay!" Ino shouted, her heart pounding.

He was so cool!

Sasuke ignored her, turning coolly to Naruto and asking, "Naruto, are you done playing?"

Everyone listened, stunned.

"Naruto?"

"Why did he suddenly mention Naruto?"

"What?!"

"What's going on... Naruto?"

"What about Naruto?"

Everyone's gaze shifted uniformly towards Naruto.

Naruto: "Huh?"
