A Clash?

The trainees quickly gathered together.

Naruto stood at the front, soaked from head to toe, with strands of hair plastered to his face. He looked like a drowned rat hauled out of a river.

Uchiha You glanced at him.

"Couldn't you dry yourself off first?"

"That's not important!" Naruto puffed out his chest. "Who are they?"

"Haku."

Haku gave everyone a slight bow.

"Please take care of me from now on."

"Kaguya Kimimaro."

Kimimaro's expression was cold.

"Uzumaki Karin."

Karin adjusted her glasses and said somewhat nervously, "Hello."

"Uzumaki?"

Naruto's eyes instantly lit up.

"You're from the Uzumaki Clan too? Doesn't that make us relatives?"

Karin froze.

It was the first time anyone had tried to get close to her just because they shared the Uzumaki surname.

"I don't know."

"That's fine!" Naruto grinned. "If you don't know, then you'll know starting today!"

Uchiha You smacked Naruto on the head.

"Stop randomly claiming relatives."

Naruto covered his head and protested, "Why not?"

"Because she hasn't agreed."

"Then I'll ask her now!" Naruto turned to Karin. "Karin, are we relatives?"

Karin opened her mouth.

Faced with Naruto's clear, utterly untainted blue eyes, she found herself not knowing how to answer.

"For now... I guess we know each other."

"Great! Then we're friends!"

"When did I say we were friends?"

"You didn't object!"

Karin: "..."

Uchiha You rubbed his brow.

Naruto's skin was so thick that even genjutsu would have trouble getting through it.

"Alright." Uchiha You cut off their conversation. "Introductions are over. Next, we'll test their strength."

Everyone's expressions immediately turned serious.

"How are we testing them?" Rock Lee asked excitedly.

Uchiha You raised a hand and pointed at Neji and Sasuke.

"Neji, you'll fight Haku."

"Sasuke, you'll fight Kimimaro."

As soon as he finished speaking, the training ground erupted
