Three People, One Dog

(A bit of rambling at the beginning, feel free to skip if you don't like it QAQ)

To the people of the village, I've now signed a contract. The process was full of hardships, but I still thank everyone (maybe no one reads this, and it's all just White Zetsu armies or Kunkun...)

Anyway, thank you all first, Ganah~

Here, I want to talk to you all about my original intention for writing and some of my own stories.

I hereby declare that I am an adult female and a positive energy youth of the 21st century.

So, why am I writing this Naruto fanfiction?

Firstly, the novels I've read on Tomato, if not seven or eight thousand, are definitely over five thousand. Naruto has also been a masterpiece that accompanied me since childhood. Even now, I can't find many anime of the same genre that can rival Naruto.

I still remember many famous scenes in Naruto; they documented my youth...

I also really enjoyed reading Naruto fanfiction on Tomato. There were masterpieces, but at the same time, there were also some very abstract works.

I've explained this in previous articles.

Like choosing something and immediately getting multiple Shadow Clones, or Sage Mode, and even later, directly starting a harem. The female characters in Naruto seem to have collectively lost their minds, becoming like the Tang dynasty.

There are also those stories where someone gets the Mangekyo Sharingan at six, becomes a Nine-Tails Jinchuriki at seven, and reaches the Six Paths level at eight. These stories are truly outrageous. The plot is basically the same: the protagonist achieves everything without any effort, like a system-dependent dog.

This causes aesthetic fatigue among readers, and they can't even find a book to read. Why?

Because it's all the same formula. Nowadays, novels have entered an era of fast food. I think this is entirely normal.

But is it really like this? Will Naruto fanfiction continue to be this fast-food-like in the future?

I, for one, strongly disagree.

Therefore, the idea I've been conceiving in my mind for a long time has become the cornerstone of this fanfiction. I will create a fanfiction that is entirely based on the Naruto worldview, without any cheating or systems, a genuine Naruto fanfiction transmigration story!

There might be many problems, there might be many discordant voices, and perhaps no one will pay attention. But like Kafka in Honkai: Star Rail said, when we make the right choice, we shouldn't let ourselves regret it, should we?

Many people also like starting with the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan and immediately reaching the Six Paths level. This is normal; after all, there's a preference for everyone.

So, if you happen to see this article, just pretend I didn't say anything. The choice is in your hands, isn't it?

(Pre-emptive defense... I have no objections to comments and rebuttals, but please don't be passive-aggressive or foul-mouthed. Thank you.)

Returning to our Naruto world, inside Konohagakure.

Sakura watched as Naruto devoured all the rice balls in one go, her heart burning with anger!

"Damn you, Naruto."

Sakura said fiercely.

At this moment, Naruto said indignantly, "What's wrong? Why are you hitting me for no reason?"

He even pointed at himself aggrievedly.

Sakura rolled her eyes at him and punched him on the head again.

"Idiot, those were for Sasuke, I was just asking Josuke to get them!"

Hearing Sakura's words, Naruto finally realized and scratched his head sheepishly. But then he thought about it and asked again, "Huh? You didn't save any for me?"

"For you..."

Sakura didn't know how to explain. But at this moment, a man's voice interrupted the scene.

"Oh? Is it you guys?"

The man's voice was lazy, and he seemed to have no energy, as if he had just woken up.

Josuke looked at the man. He had silver hair, wore a black mask, a black tight-fitting combat suit, and a green Jonin flak jacket on the outside.

Isn't this his future teacher, the legendary Copy Ninja, Hatake Kakashi?

Naruto was the first to speak to Kakashi.

Naruto pointed at Kakashi and asked, "Why are you so late?"

Kakashi didn't say anything, just smiled slightly.

Then he looked at the three people and one dog—no, no, four people.

"Nice to meet you. Let's start with introductions. You first."

Kakashi looked at Naruto.

Naruto thought for a moment and showed his classic smile.

"My name is Uzumaki Naruto. My favorite food is instant ramen, and I like Ichiraku Ramen even more, which Iruka-sensei treated me to. What I hate is the three minutes it takes for instant ramen to cook.

My hobby is tasting and comparing various instant ramen, and my future dream is to surpass the Hokage and make everyone in the village recognize my existence."

Haruno Sakura slowly stood up and then shyly glanced at Sasuke.

"My name is Haruno Sakura, I like training with everyone. My hobbies and dreams are to become stronger, and then..."

As she said this, Haruno Sakura's gaze once again fell on Sasuke, but there were some things she didn't dare to say out loud.

"As for things I dislike, it's probably that guy Naruto."

With a look of disdain, Haruno Sakura glanced at Naruto, stating she was truly helpless.

"My name is Uchiha Sasuke. I have many things I dislike and not many things I like. Furthermore, I have an ambition that is more than just a dream: to restore the Uchiha Clan."

Then, Sasuke paused.

"I will kill that man!"

His voice was cold, startling Naruto, who trembled beside him. Could he be talking about me?

Hatake Kakashi's eyes flickered slightly. He knew some of the inside story of what happened back then, but he still didn't know the reason why Itachi massacred the clan...

Next, it was time for the last participant, our heavyweight contender, Josuke!

"I am Uchiha Josuke. As for things I dislike, it's probably being too weak. As for things I like... there are many. Similarly, I hope to protect the people around me with my own strength."

Kakashi looked at Josuke. He said something like that before, didn't he? As he spoke, Kakashi subconsciously touched his left eye before snapping back to attention after a while.

"Hmm, I see... Well then, I'll introduce myself. My name is Hatake Kakashi. Things I like and dislike... I don't want to tell you. As for my future dreams... my hobbies are also quite varied."

With that, Kakashi had gotten acquainted with the four of them.

Speaking of which, Kakashi took out three bells from his pocket and said.

"Among the four of you, only three will be able to become Genin. The qualification to become a Genin is to take these three bells from me."

The three looked nervous. Only Josuke, who knew the inside story, wasn't tense. In reality, it didn't matter whether he got the bells or not; this test was assessing the four's teamwork ability.

However, the other three didn't know the inside story. They surely thought that if they couldn't get the bells, they would be eliminated?

Josuke could only say that Kakashi was truly a sly one, tricking the innocent youths like this. It was despicable.
