Team 7's Jonin Instructor

"Naruto... cough... I'm going to kill you!"

"My mouth is going to rot... cough... Sasuke, I'm the one who's going to kill you!"

"Alright, next up, Team 7."

"Uzumaki Naruto!"

"Haruno Sakura!"

"And, Uchiha Sasuke!"

Iruka finished reading out the names.

Some rejoiced, while others despaired.

Time unknowingly drifted into noon.

Each group of three was led away by their Jonin instructor.

Finally, only Team 7 remained.

Naruto, who had always been impatient, listened to the cicadas chirping outside the window and could no longer sit still.

He got up from his seat with a thump.

His face was filled with anger.

"Damn it!"

"What time is it already?"

"Everyone else was taken by their teachers long ago, and we're still waiting here like idiots!"

"How should I know?" Even Sakura's patience had run out.

However, she still had to put on a show in front of Sasuke.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing, Naruto!"

Sasuke's eyes darted around, looking at Naruto, who was fiddling with something.

He saw him placing the chalk eraser in the door crack.

Sakura walked over.

"If you're going to blame anyone, blame him for being late,"

Naruto shrugged, saying as if it were only natural.

"Really... I'm not dealing with you anymore." Sakura said this with her mouth, but her second personality was cheering inwardly, Go for it.

"Hmph~!"

"How could a Jonin possibly fall for such a crude trap?"

Sasuke said dismissively with his eyes closed.

"Hmph! Mind your own business!" Naruto retorted irritably, of course.

Sakura thought for a moment and then said, "Sasuke-kun is right."

Naruto immediately showed a bitter expression.

"Sakura~"

Just then.

The classroom door was pushed open.

Instantly, all three turned their gaze towards it.

They saw a familiar figure appear before them as the door opened.

Whoosh--

A golden light flashed.

The next moment, the figure appeared on the podium.

Clatter--

The chalk eraser fell on the doorstep.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

"Te... Teacher Cangwu?!" Sakura covered her mouth.

Looking at Cangwu on the podium, her eyes sparkled with a faint blush.

Teacher Cangwu is still so handsome~!

Wait... why is Teacher Cangwu here?

Sasuke also narrowed his eyes slightly.

He hadn't even seen the previous movement clearly.

"Cangwu... wasn't he a Genin?"

"Really? Showing up at a time like this..."

After his initial shock, Naruto's face immediately broke into a brilliant smile.

"Teacher Cangwu, what are you doing here?!"

"Don't tell me... you're the Jonin instructor for our Team 7?!"

Cangwu smiled gently, his dark eyes looking at the three of them.

"Sorry, I was delayed because someone was bothering me... How should I put it, for certain reasons, I'm still your teacher."

"Team 7's Jonin instructor."

Upon hearing this.

Naruto and Sakura both let out a gasp.

Sasuke's eyes widened.

He's really it...

Can this Genin Cangwu really handle it?!

Under the astonished gazes of the three.

Cangwu wiped his face, removing a faint lipstick mark.

Anko, Anko, when did you learn to ambush?

Ambushing is one thing, but charging a 'fee' too... Honestly.

"Huh?!"

"Teacher Cangwu, are you really Team 7's Jonin instructor?!"

Naruto, having snapped back to reality, excitedly approached Cangwu.

Sakura followed, her face full of anticipation. "Teacher Cangwu, please guide us well~!"

"Alright, then, follow me. We still need to go through the usual procedures," Cangwu said with a smile, patting their heads.

He then looked at Sasuke, who was still trying to act cool.

"Hmph~!"

Sasuke reluctantly stood up.

If he was chosen to be the supervising Jonin, then this Genin Cangwu must have some extraordinary abilities.

Since it's come to this, there's nothing I can do to change it.

The three followed Cangwu to the rooftop.

Naruto's mouth hadn't closed since they arrived, he was grinning the whole time.

Sakura felt a bit dizzy.

To be head-patted by my dream guy...

This feeling... is so special~!

Once on the rooftop.

"First, let's introduce ourselves."

"My name is Cangwu. I don't like many things, and I dislike quite a few."

"My dream for the future... is to be the man who becomes the Fifth Hokage."

"As for my hobbies, you're too young, it's better you don't know."

The three: "..."

"Even Teacher Cangwu... the Fifth Hokage will be mine!" Naruto jumped up.

Cangwu waved his hand. "Alright, it's your turn now."

Hearing this, Naruto immediately grabbed his headband and said:

"Me first~!"

"My name is Uzumaki Naruto. What I like is instant noodles, and what I like even more is Teacher Cangwu treating me to Ichiraku Ramen~!"

"What I dislike is waiting three minutes for my instant noodles."

"My hobby is competitive ramen eating, and my dream is to surpass all previous Hokage and be recognized by everyone in the village~!"

Seeing Naruto about to continue, Cangwu looked at Sakura.

"It's your turn, Sakura."

Sakura's face flushed slightly.

"My name is Haruno Sakura. What I like is... Speaking of which, the person I like... and my dream for the future... Ahhhh~!!!"

Cangwu: "..."

"Alright, next."

"My name is Uchiha Sasuke. I hate many things, like this unnecessary self-introduction."

"We still have to follow the normal procedure," Cangwu said.

Sasuke continued coolly, "I don't have anything I like. Also, I don't just want to talk about my dreams."

As he spoke, a deep hatred appeared on Sasuke's face.

"I have ambitions. To restore my clan, and then, I will definitely kill a certain man with my own hands."

Naruto and Sakura were both startled by Sasuke's sudden intensity.

Naruto tilted his head, looking askance at Sasuke.

'He's not talking about me, is he?'

Pink hair...

'Sasuke-kun is so cool~'

Clap, clap--

Cangwu clapped his hands.

"Okay, that's all for the self-introductions."

"Then, starting tomorrow, we will carry out missions."

"What kind of missions are they~!" Naruto asked with a smile right away.

"Survival training."

"Of course, it's not ordinary training."

"Remember, from now on, don't eat anything."

Cangwu sighed inwardly.

This was ordered by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He really didn't want to listen to the old man.

But for now, relying solely on the Glint-Glint Fruit's abilities was not enough to dominate the ninja world.

Although dealing with Hiruzen Sarutobi was not impossible.

But what about after?

Facing the opportunistic attacks of the other four great ninja villages.

Cangwu wasn't confident he could defend against everything.

Besides, there were unstable factors like the Root Organization, the Akatsuki, and Orochimaru.

And the development of the Glint-Glint Fruit's abilities wasn't that easy.

Cangwu didn't want to see the suffering of the common people anymore.

For Naruto, the entire village had wronged him.

However, for the common people of Konoha.

The Nine-Tails was undoubtedly a demon.

Of course, how this hateful demon ended up with Naruto was unknown.

For example, how did the information leak?

The problems basically existed at the root...

"What will happen if we eat?" Sasuke asked in a deep voice.

"Mildly injured, severely dead."
