Naruto and Sasuke's First Kiss

Naruto was awakened by his alarm in the morning. The specially marked date on the calendar reminded him what day it was: the nine o'clock orientation meeting.

After breakfast, he drank a carton of milk he had not noticed had expired and forgotten to throw away. Wearing his Konoha forehead protector instead of his old goggles, he headed for the Ninja Academy.

On the way, from behind a wall that had been very casually disguised, a little boy with a scarf suddenly rushed out and shouted at Naruto, "Fight me!"

The little boy's scarf dragged along the ground. After stepping on it, he slammed face-first into the ground in a perfect faceplant.

Naruto asked in confusion, "What are you doing, Konohamaru?"

Konohamaru said weakly, "As expected of the boss. I still have a long way to go."

"Uh, I didn't do anything!"

Naruto replied, utterly speechless.

Today was the Ninja Academy's orientation meeting. Naruto did not fool around with Konohamaru. After telling him that he was already a ninja, he headed to the Ninja Academy under Konohamaru's worshipful gaze.

Sakura and Ino ran into each other on their way to the Ninja Academy, sparks flashing in their eyes.

"Morning, Sakura!"

"Good morning, Ino!"

Sakura and Ino walked side by side, but before long, neither girl could stand the other. Sakura stepped ahead, and Ino immediately overtook her. In the end, they broke into a run and arrived at the classroom together, both panting heavily.

"Sakura, I won this time."

"What are you talking about? My toes entered the classroom a centimeter before yours."

"When did you go blind, Sakura?!"

Ino and Sakura started arguing again. Once best friends, they had become romantic rivals because of Sasuke, and neither would give an inch.

Naruto, seated in the classroom, suddenly heard a familiar voice. His cheeks flushed as he turned around.

It's Sakura. She's so cute. Is she looking at me?

When Naruto saw Sakura trot over, he stood up and greeted her. "Good morning, Sakura. Today..."

"Get lost!"

Sakura did not even glance at Naruto. With obvious annoyance, she shoved him aside, sending him straight to the floor. Then, with her hands clasped before her and a lovestruck expression, she stared at the person seated in the same row as Naruto.

"Good morning, Sasuke!"

Sasuke did not even look at her. He was somewhat annoyed, finding Sakura merely noisy. Yet his aloofness only made Sakura think he looked impossibly cool.

"Can I sit beside you?"

"Wait, I'm sitting beside Sasuke!"

Ino's sudden voice made Sasuke's pupils contract. He turned to look and found Ino blushing furiously, offering him a sweet smile. Clearly, what had happened at the hot springs a few days ago had filled Ino's mind with the image of Sasuke and Masayo soaking together.

Ino and Sakura began arguing again. Gradually, more girls came over and joined the fray, including Mimai. With her purple scorpion-tail braid and outstanding looks, she too was one of Sasuke's admirers.

Everything happening in the classroom was watched by the Jonin instructors in the office.

"Mimai? Looks like she'll need more than just good looks. She'll need strength too."

Masayo spotted Mimai among the girls fighting over Sasuke. She was an ordinary lively little girl, with a personality seemingly similar to Ino's. He just did not know whether she could pass the upcoming assessment.

"Sasuke Uchiha, this year's top rookie? Is that him?"

Asuma's attention was drawn to Sasuke. After Hiruzen Sarutobi gave an affirmative answer, Kurenai Yuhi said, "So he's a descendant of the Uchiha clan."

Through the Third Hokage's crystal ball, Masayo watched the classroom scene. He recalled this unforgettable moment between Naruto and Sasuke. How could he possibly fail to prepare for it?

At that moment, Naruto looked at Sasuke and immediately felt his temper flare. All those girls were circling around him. Filled with jealousy and anger, Naruto crouched on top of Sasuke's desk.

"Hmph!"

Sasuke, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened them. His gaze refused to yield in the slightest as he stared at Naruto. Their eyes seemed to crackle with lightning, neither willing to submit to the other.

"Naruto, don't keep staring at Sasuke!"

"Sasuke..."

Naruto's actions provoked the girls' fury. Sakura and Ino in particular angrily told Naruto to stay away.

"Sasuke, Sasuke... Damn it, why is everyone always going on about Sasuke? What's so great about this guy?"

Sakiban, who had been chatting with the others in front, suddenly stretched his arm and accidentally bumped Naruto in the back.

"Huh, really? There are actually people who got held back twice? Hahaha... That's just..."

Sakiban suddenly noticed that the room had fallen silent. Then he heard the sound of kissing behind him. Turning around, he saw Naruto and Sasuke kissing each other, forming an iconic masterpiece for the ages.

Click!

Masayo's Shadow Clone, hidden in the shadows, snapped a photograph with a camera. He quickly used Wind Body Flicker to leave, returned home, set the camera down, and dispelled the Shadow Clone. Its memories were all relayed back to Masayo's main body in the office.

"Pfft, hahaha..."

Masayo was the first to fail to hold it in. So Sakiban was the one who had made Naruto and Sasuke offer up that legendary kiss. He decided then and there to give Sakiban two chances. If Sakiban failed to seize the second one, it would have nothing to do with him.

Masayo's laughter set off the whole room. Kurenai Yuhi, Asuma, and the others all burst out laughing. Even Hiruzen Sarutobi was infected by it, unable to maintain his composure. Only Kakashi remained as lazy-looking as ever, cold sweat covering his face as he watched the scene displayed by the crystal ball.

"Sorry, Lord Hokage. That was disrespectful, hahaha..."

Masayo gradually composed himself and spoke to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"It's fine. That Naruto really is full of surprises!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi said with cold sweat on his face as well.

In the classroom, Sakura instantly broke down. Her inner personality went completely mad.

"Aaaaah... How could this happen?! Sasuke's first kiss was supposed to be mine!"

After Naruto and Sasuke pulled apart, they immediately started gagging. Both found it utterly disgusting. Sasuke shouted furiously, "Naruto, I'm going to kill you!"

Naruto kept sticking out his tongue and yelled, "Ah, my mouth is going to rot! Blegh, ptooey, ptooey, ptooey..."

Sakiban, who was still utterly dumbfounded, could not hold it together anymore. "Um, was that my fault?"

Even Hinata, who had been secretly watching Naruto all along, flushed red as she looked at Naruto and Sasuke, who knew what she was thinking.

Seated in the back, Inoue Mura had already failed twice. He had thought he could be as mature as Masayo, but upon seeing Naruto and Sasuke like this, he could not keep it together either. His head buzzed.

"Hm, killing intent!"

Naruto suddenly sensed something. When he turned around, he saw those girls glaring at him furiously. Amid Naruto's cries for mercy, he was swallowed by a crowd of girls led by Sakura, Ino, and Mimai. Even Sasuke, who had been preparing to beat Naruto up, gave up after seeing that and let him off.
