A New Prodigy

"Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi, Ino Yamanaka."

Asuma, with his unshaven beard, walked into the classroom and called away his subordinates.

As the three left, in addition to Hinata, Kiba, Shino, Naruto, Sasuke, Karin, there were three unfamiliar faces in the classroom.

Two of the three unfamiliar faces seemed very awkward, while only Gaara and Naruto chatted happily.

Temari and Kankuro didn't know why their younger brother liked that blond guy so much. As transfer students arranged by Kazashiro, they had only spent a short month with their classmates.

"No, I wonder if Naruto-kun can be in my class..."

Hinata glanced furtively in Naruto's direction, silently praying.

Sasuke sat by the window, his neck turned to the left, gazing absently at the students training outdoors on the playground.

"Long time no see, Hong."

Discussion could be heard in the corridor.

"Yes, it's been a long time."

Kurenai Yuhi responded and opened the classroom door.

The group's attention was drawn, and they all turned to look towards the doorway.

Two female ninjas entered the classroom.

The two people were somewhat unfamiliar to Naruto and his friends.

Leading the way was Kurenai Yuhi, who had just been promoted to Jonin.

Beside her was Sakumo to take the Mitarashi Anko 'Naruto Team Seven.

"Alright, Naruto Uzumaki, Karin Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha forward!"

Anko is an impatient person. Although Kurenai Yuhi arrived first, she boldly called out her teammates first.

Who is this loud-voiced woman?

Naruto looked at the familiar-looking Jonin in front of him and asked Sasuke in a low voice.

How would I know?

Sasuke didn't recognize Anko either, and shook his head.

"I remember she was..."

Karin had met Anko a few times, but she couldn't remember her name.

"I am Mitarashi Anko. Don't be nervous. Your captain has something to do and can't come for the time being, so I am just your acting captain."

Anko laughed and patted Kurenai Yuhi on the shoulder, then led the three bewildered students out of the classroom.

Seeing Naruto leave, Hinata felt a little down, and her expression changed slightly.

"I don't have many rules. Just remember, my orders are absolute, understand?"

Arriving at a training ground, Anko had the three little ones sit down and then explained some things to be aware of after becoming ninjas.

"First, let me introduce myself. I am Mitarashi Anko, Special Jonin from Konoha. I like to eat dango and drink Anko, and I hate disobedient children."

Upon hearing that their acting captain was only Special Jonin, the three of them showed no change in expression.

"Naruto Uzumaki likes Ichiraku Ramen, but he doesn't dislike anything yet."

Naruto's speech was brief.

Moreover, at this time he had no interest in the position of Hokage.

Seeing the other person's reply, Anko nodded in approval of Naruto's performance.

As expected of Minato's son, his words were impeccable, and his manners were impeccable.

"Sasuke Uchiha's favorite food is bonito flakes, he hates sweets, and blond guys."

"Hey Sasuke."

"Snort."

"I'm Karin Uzumaki. I love my mom the most, and I hate Kazashiro- nii when he's being unreliable. Well, that's all."

After listening to their answers, Anko gained a new understanding of the personalities of the three little ones in front of her.

"Good, very energetic."

Anko clapped her hands and announced the first order, "Now that everyone knows each other, I hereby declare that we will assemble at Exercise Field No. 17 at 8:00 AM tomorrow. No one is allowed to be late. That's all."

After saying that, Anko used the Konoha Body Flicker Technique and disappeared from the three people's sight amidst a flurry of falling leaves.

Her plan was to show off her skills in front of the three little ones, but little did she know that Kazashiro had already used this trick before, and the three of them weren't particularly impressed.

"I think Dad's Flying Thunder God Technique is faster."

Naruto gave his own commentary.

"Hmph, by the way, I heard your dad secretly taught you the Flying Thunder God Technique, is that true?"

After hearing this, Sasuke really wanted to say that his older brother was more handsome, but in the end he couldn't bring himself to say it.

"Shh, keep your voice down. If my mom finds out, she'll beat Dad to death."

Naruto quickly stopped Sasuke.

Karin then asked in a low voice, "Brother, how's your training going?"

Hearing his younger sister's question, Naruto smiled confidently, "Hehe, I can already move short distances."

Sasuke looked shocked upon hearing Naruto's answer.

"Yellow Hair, are you kidding me? Even Brother Kazashiro can't learn as fast as you!"

Seeing this, Naruto simply smiled and made no attempt to explain.

Seeing Naruto's expression, Sasuke panicked even more.

He had only learned the Great Fireball Technique, and thought he could finally hold his head high amidst the dinosaurs, but the blond guy next to him was even more outrageous than him.

Geniuses are so annoying.

Remembering that Naruto ranked first among the graduates, Sasuke angrily decided not to speak to Naruto for a day.
