Konoha: The Female Ninja Fell Apart After Her Diary Was Exposed

For a moment,

all three launched an all-out assault on Kakashi.

"These brats..."

Kakashi's gaze gradually turned serious.

Their strength seemed to have exceeded his expectations.

First, there was Naruto.

The strength he displayed put him among the best even compared with genin who had graduated long ago.

With that kind of ability,

he would have no trouble entering the Chunin Ninja Exams.

Then there was Sakura.

Though her combat experience was limited, her speed and strength were excellent, and she had plenty of stamina. Even after attacking repeatedly, her breathing remained steady.

As for Sasuke Uchiha,

he had always carried the reputation of a genius ninja,

but judging by his performance today,

Sasuke had been completely outshone by Naruto and Sakura.

"Interesting..."

Kakashi Hatake gave a quiet snort.

These three

were probably the strongest squad he had ever led as a supervising jonin.

Even so,

there was no way they could take the bells from him.

"I'll give you one last chance. The test resumes in an hour."

"But as the worst performer, Sasuke Uchiha isn't allowed to eat any of your lunches."

"If you break the rules, you're out!"

After delivering the warning sternly, Kakashi Hatake used the Body Flicker Technique and vanished.

A Bond Beyond Friendship

At the training ground,

Sasuke Uchiha was tied to a wooden post, his head lowered in dejection.

"Wow!"

"This lunch smells amazing."

Right in front of Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki opened his lunchbox.

Inside

were generous helpings of grilled meat, chicken legs, sausages, and more.

The moment he opened it,

a rich aroma spread through the air.

Grrrr...

The smell of the food made Sasuke Uchiha's stomach growl again. He had been hungry for ages.

"Hungry, Sasuke?"

"Want some?"

Naruto Uzumaki deliberately held the lunchbox right in front of Sasuke Uchiha's face.

"Hmph!"

"I'm not hungry at all."

Sasuke Uchiha gritted his teeth and forced himself to turn his head away.

But as soon as he did,

he saw the lunchbox in Sakura's hands.

It was not as lavish as Naruto's, but it smelled delicious too.

Grrrr...

His stomach growled again.

Sasuke Uchiha flushed and simply closed his eyes.

If he kept them open, he was afraid he might start drooling.

Seeing him like that, Naruto Uzumaki shook his head with a grin.

Teasing this show-off now and then was pretty entertaining.

"All right, I'll stop teasing you."

"Eat."

Naruto Uzumaki picked up a spoon and brought his half-eaten lunch to Sasuke Uchiha's mouth.

"Huh?"

"Naruto... if Kakashi-sensei catches you, we're done for."

Sakura could not help warning him.

"Idiot. I'm not eating it."

"Do you want to go back to the Ninja Academy and spend another year at the bottom of the class?"

Sasuke Uchiha looked at Naruto in confusion too.

"Don't get the wrong idea. I just don't want you holding me back this afternoon because you're hungry."

Naruto Uzumaki spoke casually.

"You've got some nerve. Aren't you afraid Kakashi will find out?"

Sasuke Uchiha asked.

"Doesn't matter. Another year at the Ninja Academy wouldn't be so bad."

Naruto Uzumaki shrugged.

He had known the purpose of the test all along, so of course he was not worried.

It was just that

he could not tell them.

"You..."

At Naruto Uzumaki's words, Sasuke Uchiha's eyes reddened.

As far as he could remember,

he and Naruto had never gotten along.

They could hardly exchange a few words without arguing.

Yet he had never expected

Naruto to risk failing the test just to help him.

"Hurry up and eat."

Naruto Uzumaki brought the spoon to Sasuke Uchiha's mouth.

This time,

Sasuke Uchiha said nothing more. He opened his mouth and obediently took a bite.

After swallowing,

a faint blush rose to Sasuke Uchiha's cheeks.

"Sasuke, have some of mine too."

"If Naruto gets disqualified, I won't become a ninja either."

Sakura joined in.

"You guys..."

Sasuke Uchiha looked at the two of them, overwhelmed with emotion.

It had been a long time since he had felt such warmth.

"Come to think of it, I'm still a little hungry."

With that, Naruto Uzumaki casually untied the ropes binding Sasuke Uchiha.

"Feed yourself."

Naruto Uzumaki handed Sasuke Uchiha his lunchbox, then picked up Sakura's and started eating.

Now that he had come to the world of the Hokage,

of course he intended to win over all the girls.

There was no way he would let a girl in his future harem feed another man.

"Hehe... Naruto, if you like it, I'll make you lunch every day."

Sakura was delighted to see Naruto boldly take her lunchbox.

All her hard work had finally paid off.

While they were eating, Kakashi Hatake suddenly appeared.

"Hey... what do you think you're doing?"

"You dared to break my rules? Did you think I wasn't serious?"

"Don't you know that ninja who break the rules are called trash?"

Kakashi Hatake's face was dark, and he seemed furious.

"We're done for..."

"Kakashi-sensei, it was all my idea."

Sakura immediately spoke up.

"No... I asked Naruto to give me his lunch."

"If anyone gets punished, it should be me alone."

Sasuke Uchiha raised his voice too.

"Is that so?"

Kakashi Hatake gave a cold laugh, then turned his gaze to Naruto Uzumaki.

"Your turn, brat."

"Tell me your reason."

At Kakashi's words, Naruto Uzumaki gave a quiet snort.

"They're my comrades."

"If ninja who break the rules are trash, then people who abandon their comrades are worse than trash!"

"If becoming a ninja means abandoning my comrades, then I'd rather give it up!"
