I Feel Like There Are No Other Transmigrators

The first thing was Sasuke's addition.

He still vividly remembered what Naruto had said that day. After completing several D-Rank Missions together, he repeatedly spotted Naruto practicing Shurikenjutsu at the training grounds.

What a coincidence. He himself was a Shurikenjutsu expert, having been heavily influenced by his older brother. (Compared to his peers, at least.)

Thus, the next time Sasuke caught sight of Naruto training, he awkwardly pointed out one of Naruto's shortcomings.

Naruto immediately perked up.

Oh? Is Mr. Ice-Cold over here giving pointers now?

"Why should I listen to you? Is your Shurikenjutsu any good?" Naruto stuck out his tongue and questioned Sasuke's ability.

Nearby, Sakura, who had been training, stopped with great interest and settled in to enjoy the show.

"Several of your movements are wrong. Throwing them like that has no killing power."

"Hard to say. If a heartthrob like Mr. Sasuke threw them that way, maybe they'd have killing power."

"What did you say?!"

Sasuke's hair immediately stood on end.

"Unless you demonstrate it for me, I won't acknowledge you." Naruto sat cross-legged on the ground, gesturing for Sasuke to begin his performance.

Sasuke forcibly suppressed his anger, pulled out a string of kunai, and hurled them all in one breath. They struck the bull's-eyes of several wooden posts in front of him with pinpoint accuracy.

"Not bad, Sasuke-kun~" Sakura applauded and played the good cop.

"Huh? I threw them without even seeing clearly. That doesn't count, doesn't count." Naruto waved his hand.

The veins on the back of Sasuke's hand bulged. "If you've got the nerve, try it yourself!"

"No, no, I won't. That would just be falling into the trap of having to prove myself." Naruto sprang to his feet and said with a grin, "How about this? We'll do it together and compare our scores."

"Fine, let's compare!"

A moment later.

"That doesn't count. You were standing right beside me just now and affected the force behind my throw." Naruto shrugged.

"Hmph. It was clearly because your grip on the kunai was wrong. You need to hold the bottom and pull your arm back to build momentum. Your body needs to turn with it, too."

"Blah blah blah blah." Naruto humored him verbally, but silently memorized every point Sasuke had mentioned.

"I'll only acknowledge you after one more round. Tch, forget it. You'll definitely keep bothering me anyway. What's the point?"

"Naruto, you...! Again!"

Sakura suppressed her laughter as she watched the two of them repeatedly throw, committing the key points to memory as well.

"Your force is too great. In a real fight, it would fly past the target."

"Watch the wind direction. It was against us just now, so you need to increase the force of your throw."

"Don't keep your waist and shoulders stiff. Let your whole body contribute force."

"..."

Before they knew it, the afternoon had passed.

"You seem to have a tiny bit of a point." Naruto extended his right hand and pinched out a thin outline. "I guess I've improved by one ten-thousandth."

Sasuke turned his head away, looking as if he didn't want to speak to Naruto.

But in reality, this had been the most fulfilling afternoon he'd had in a long time.

He hadn't spoken so much with someone his age in ages.

Moreover, as he constantly corrected Naruto's form, Naruto's hit rate gradually improved. The process unexpectedly gave Sasuke a sense of accomplishment.

It was as if he had activated a master-teacher aura, leaving him momentarily unable to stop.

The second day, then the third.

Sasuke would occasionally "happen upon" Naruto training, then start pointing out flaws under the pretext that he couldn't stand watching anymore.

During this period, Sasuke and Sakura also grew rapidly alongside him.

Sometimes, Sakura would buy three bottles of water from the shop and occasionally moonlight as the part-time girl who retrieved their kunai.

Of course, Naruto and Sasuke still mostly bickered.

The trio's teamwork continued to improve. According to Naruto's own estimate, Team 7's strength had already far surpassed their level at this point in the original story.

As for the second thing, it was rather interesting.

Ever since Sasuke began training with Naruto and Sakura, his built-in popularity attracted some of their peers to stop and watch.

Most of them were girls who had secret crushes on him.

After all, once Sasuke-kun finished a mission, he would find a deserted place to train by himself.

No one knew where he was.

Aside from the girls who secretly loved Sasuke, some boys also passed by, and their attention was quickly drawn to Haruno Sakura.

This Sakura from Chongqing was completely different from the original. After transmigrating, she had completely given up entertainment such as reading manga and browsing flower shops, devoting herself wholeheartedly to training.

As she put it, this was Offline Gamer Grinding Maps: level up on the map, then enter the dungeon once she was strong enough. It gave her an overwhelming rush of satisfaction.

Naruto said this was basically a champion bullying Bronze players...

Then Sakura rewarded him with a blow to the back of his head, swelling it into a lump the size of a basketball.

Yes, her brute strength was growing at an astonishing rate.

And so...

A War Ninja Sakura who habitually tied her hair into a high ponytail, never went shopping, never curled her hair, didn't talk nonsense, had no Golden Finger, devoted herself wholeheartedly to training, and relied purely on technique and brute strength had made her grand entrance!

Even Ino temporarily put aside her "seduce Sasuke agenda" and began wondering whether Sakura had eaten something strange lately.

Sakura's reply was extremely concise:

"Don't bother me while I'm training."

That extreme attitude soon captured the hearts of several boys.

One had to know that Sakura had once been passionately pursued by Rock Lee. Her looks were absolutely not a problem.

It was only the original's outrageous lovesickness in the early stages, along with teasing Naruto for being an orphan and getting roasted by Sasuke in return, that had cost her a fair amount of goodwill.

And so, Sakura began receiving advances from some of the boys in her year.

At first, out of politeness, she politely declined every boy's goodwill.

Later, some thick-headed ones began waiting outside Sakura's house, asking after her welfare every day.

Sakura was driven to distraction, and her mentality nearly exploded.

Later, to completely put an end to this endless pursuit, she picked a pleasant, sunny day and casually found a boy to ask:

"Do you have any Ecchi Books?"

"Huh?"

The boy was dumbfounded. At the same time, Naruto, who had been watching the spectacle nearby, was completely dumbfounded as well.

"Do you have any Ecchi Books?" Sakura asked again.

"I-I do." The boy racked his brains and decided to go along with Sakura's words.

He couldn't help imagining an adult scene, the kind that would never pass censorship on Qidian...

"You do, huh?" Sakura nodded.

"If you do, hurry up and go read them. Talking to you is really annoying."

The boy turned to stone on the spot.

Naruto thought, Good grief, I'm exhausted. He immediately covered his mouth desperately, laughing hysterically inside.

Congratulations, little bro. You can transmigrate into Mistress of My Harem right now and drink Jester's Potion!

That shocking statement spread like wildfire. Thus, Haruno Sakura was labeled Sharp-Tongued, while the boys who had originally planned to pursue her also lowered their flags and beat a retreat.

During this period, some scumbags also spread malicious rumors about Sakura. When Naruto heard, he thought, As expected of these little Japanese bastards, then dragged Sasuke along and beat every one of them up.

Time passed quickly.

Today, Team 7 accepted a mission to help an important person catch a cat.

According to the plot, Naruto would cause a huge commotion after completing the mission, and then the Third Hokage would use the opportunity to have them accept the escort mission to the Land of Waves.

Before setting off, Naruto said goodbye to Sakura.

"We're about to grind the Land of Waves dungeon." Naruto adjusted his ninja tool pouch and continued, "I've observed things around Konoha for a while, and there hasn't been any sign of a transmigrator appearing."

"The reasonable assumption is that, aside from the two of us, there won't be any other transmigrators. Hmm, actually, I feel like there are no other transmigrators."

Sakura didn't respond. She merely rubbed her eyes.

Her right eyelid had been twitching nonstop just now.
