The infamous moment of the century

The next day, Naruto appeared in the classroom wearing his forehead protector. The students couldn't help looking over when they saw him wearing it.

"Naruto, how come you've got a forehead protector too? Did you become a genin?" Seeing that Naruto had also graduated from the Ninja Academy, Shikamaru was genuinely happy for him.

"Of course! I earned this through my own ability." Naruto was very proud.

"Congratulations on graduating, Naruto."

Before long, Iruka walked in.

"You're about to leave the Ninja Academy. You're genin now, and I hope you'll become ninja who can stand on your own and contribute your strength to the village."

"Now, quiet down. We'll begin assigning teams."

Team 1: Extra One, Extra Two, Extra Three.

Team 2: Doesn't Know What's Good for Them, Umekawa Kuko, Que Xinyanzi.

Team 3: Hyuga Hakuda, Hashimoto Kanna, Ishishita Yujiro.

Team 4: Sakura Haruno, Matsushita Shusha, Caixia Lihe.

Team 5: Takahashi Harako, Momonoha Kojiro, Inoue Hedong.

Team 6: Ishikawa Yi, Yamakawa Er, Mizukawa San.

Team 7: Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, Meihui Uzumaki.

Team 8: Hinata Hyuga, Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame.

Team 9: Shimura Huazang, Mitokado Biwa, Utatane Konatsu.

Team 10: Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi, Ino Yamanaka.

Meihui didn't react much when he heard that he had been assigned to the same team as Naruto. But hearing that he was on Team 7, taking Sakura's place, did surprise him somewhat.

Naruto, however, couldn't sit still. He jumped straight up.

"Why is Sasuke on our team? Iruka-sensei, did you make a mistake?"

Naruto pointed at Sasuke as he jumped up, looking thoroughly displeased. This guy shamelessly tagged along to train with his big brother every day. He couldn't have been more annoying.

Iruka looked at Naruto, a vein bulging on his forehead.

"Naruto, there's nothing wrong with these team assignments. Your grades were the worst. Meihui and Sasuke ranked first and second in the year. You're the one dragging them down."

At Iruka-sensei's words, Naruto wilted like a frostbitten eggplant.

Seeing Naruto quiet down, Iruka smiled in triumph.

"Now, wait here in the classroom for your jonin team leaders." With that, Iruka left the classroom.

"I finally got this class through graduation. What an exhausting bunch."

Then came the long wait, with Naruto, Meihui, and Sasuke sitting together.

After Iruka left, Naruto squatted on the desk and narrowed his eyes at Sasuke.

Sasuke really didn't want to entertain Naruto's idiotic behavior. He turned his head away, refusing to engage with him.

Unexpectedly, the person in front suddenly stood up, and Naruto and Sasuke ended up kissing each other square on the lips.

The infamous moment of the century: Naruto and Sasuke shared a kiss in the classroom.

Meihui's eyebrows twitched at the sight. The girls in class had fire in their eyes, as though they wanted to punish this heinous sinner.

Sakura clenched her fist, ready to punch Naruto, only for Meihui to stop her with a look.

Despite having the same face as Naruto, he carried himself completely differently.

That left Sakura rather annoyed, but Meihui was the top student in their year. She could only swallow her irritation. She didn't dare hit Naruto in front of Meihui.

But on second thought, Naruto seemed to have a crush on her. She could make use of that.

Of course, the two who had kissed knew nothing about this. They were busy gagging.

They glanced at each other, their faces full of disgust.

They nearly threw up last night's dinner.
