Ino: Teacher Put Me in Naruto's Group

"Hahaha... well done, Naruto! These immature boys really need to be taught a lesson!"

"Naruto is so cool, I like him so much~"

"Can you tell me, Naruto? You were actually hiding your strength all this time, weren't you?"

"Naruto, do you want to walk home together after school tonight? I have so many pretty little dresses in my room~ I'll wear them for you to see."

"...Huh? Don't boys like toys more?"

"I suppose so... then it's perfect, Naruto, come to my house. My little brother has a lot of toys in his room, I can make him take them out for you to play with."

"..."

Girls naturally admire the strong and the handsome.

Naruto now possessed both.

Naturally, the opposite sex would be drawn to him.

"Do you two want to test my limits as well?"

Naruto lifted his eyelids slightly.

With just a single glance.

The two lackey brats were instantly terrified.

They shook their heads violently.

"No, we don't!"

"Big Brother Naruto, let's talk this out. Just treat us like a fart and let us go."

Are they crazy?

They couldn't even beat the chubby kid.

Let alone fight Naruto.

Wouldn't that be seeking their own deaths?

"It's so lively today. Eh... Yushang, what happened to your hand?"

Iruka, who walked into the classroom holding a roster, was a bit confused.

Yushang was the name of that chubby kid.

And at this moment, because his hand bone was dislocated.

He was lying on the ground, wailing in pain.

Tears and snot were mixed together.

Covering his entire face.

He looked incredibly pathetic.

The chubby kid had taught everyone a lesson.

Perfectly illustrating what it means to be weak yet love to stir up trouble!

"Iruka-sensei, you're finally here. Naruto was the one who attacked first."

As the saying goes, the villain complains first.

Seeing the teacher arrive, the two lackeys immediately ran back.

"That's right, that's right, you have to stand up for us."

Iruka placed the roster on the podium and hurried to the chubby kid's side.

He knelt down to set the dislocated bone back in place!

Crack---

"Ah!!!!"

Another pig-slaughtering scream echoed.

Two times in a row.

The chubby kid swore he never wanted to experience that agonizing sensation again in his life.

Iruka asked with a stern face.

"Naruto, what is the meaning of this?"

It was true that Naruto was impressive for being able to release four Shadow Clones yesterday.

But... having ability is no excuse for bullying your classmates.

Ino Yamanaka, sitting further up, raised her slender hand.

"Sensei, it was Yushang who intentionally picked a fight with Naruto first~"

"Naruto isn't pulling pranks today, yet these childish boys actually tried to force him to keep doing it."

"Sensei, you be the judge, were they in the right?"

Huh???

What the hell?!!

Naruto wasn't pulling any pranks today.

No wonder Iruka felt like something was missing when he walked in.

Uh... it was the blackboard eraser that usually fell from the top of the door.

It happened every few days like clockwork.

Thank goodness it didn't happen today, or he would've been hit.

Iruka had walked in feeling quite cheerful, completely caught off guard.

"That's right, Teacher, the cause and sequence of events are exactly as Ino Yamanaka said. I can testify!"

"I can testify too. It's just that you're too lenient, Iruka-sensei. If you don't discipline these boys properly, they'll soon be completely lawless."

"Naruto-kun isn't wrong! I can testify; we all saw it clearly just now."

"..."

The girls jumped right in.

They testified on Naruto's behalf.

Naruto didn't feel annoying to them today!

On the contrary, there was even a hint of attraction!

They liked Naruto's handsome face, now free of those strange whiskers.

They liked Naruto's unexpected strength!

And they liked the sense of maturity Naruto carried.

Girls at this age.

Couldn't stand boys who were mischievous and troublesome all day long.

And someone like Naruto was exactly their type.

Iruka scratched his head in embarrassment.

"So that's how it is... I'm sorry, Naruto. I blamed you wrongly."

"It's fine, I'm used to it."

Naruto grinned, a sunny, handsome smile spreading across his face.

"Wow!!! So handsome! Hasn't Naruto-kun changed too much today?"

"Shikamaru, please slap me hard twice."

"Why, Choji?"

"I want to see if I'm dreaming. Naruto has become so popular, it hurts~ How are we supposed to happily play in the mud together from now on?"

"...Alright, enough. I'm not happy about it either, but just accept reality. This is the most logical thing right now."

"..."

Iruka returned to the podium and tapped the desk.

"Quiet, quiet!"

"I'm here today to talk to you all about team assignments."

As Iruka's voice fell.

The classroom erupted once again.

"Teacher, I want to be on the same team as Naruto-kun!"

"Me too! I hope you'll grant my wish, Teacher!"

"Xiaoya is so bold, but Naruto-kun really is handsome now. Teacher, I want to be on a team with Naruto-kun too."

"..."

Hinata's face turned bright red, and she looked at Naruto shyly, her voice soft: "Being on a team with Naruto-kun... that seems quite nice."

"I have to fight for this opportunity!"

Ino Yamanaka brushed back her bangs, "Teacher, put me in Naruto-kun's group."

"Ah~?? Ino, you..."

Sakura Haruno was a bit stunned and stammered.

Was this still the same rival she knew who fought her for Sasuke?

Had she defected so quickly?

Sakura Haruno admitted that Naruto was very handsome and masculine now.

But Naruto's change overnight was just too drastic.

It was all a bit much for her to process.

After all, Naruto had been her pursuer not so long ago.

If he had just kept pestering her and begging for her attention...

The two of them being together... it... it wouldn't have been impossible.

Sakura Haruno's face flushed, and she shyly cast her gaze toward Naruto.

Then, acting as if she were caught doing something illicit, she guiltily turned her little head away.

Ino Yamanaka shrugged indifferently.

"Didn't you always hate me competing with you for Sasuke? From today on, I'm not fighting you for him anymore; I'm going to pursue Naruto!"

Her tone was incredibly firm.

Don't do that...

I... I actually wanted to be with Naruto too...

Ugh, forget it, forget it!

Hmph, shallow woman. No matter how good Naruto's physical fitness is, he still can't compare to Sasuke, who is so skilled in ninjutsu and shurikenjutsu!!!

You... just wait and regret it!

Sakura Haruno thought, feeling inexplicably sour.
