My Harem Village Says No to Men!

The newcomer was Iruka, who had returned with a stack of documents in his arms.

So close. He had been so close to kissing his wife Hinata.

"Quiet, all of you!"

Iruka's shout sent every student obediently back to their seat.

He stepped up to the lectern and slammed the forms in his hands onto the desk.

"Next, I'll announce your team assignments after graduation! Each team whose names I call will be led by a jonin instructor, carry out missions, and become true ninja!"

The atmosphere in the classroom immediately grew tense.

Son Goten pressed his palms together and closed his eyes, muttering under his breath.

Please, please, let me be teamed up with the pretty girls... My left arm around my wife Hinata's soft waist, my right hand holding my wife Ino's tender hand. My wife Sakura might be a little flat, but she could give me back massages... Hehe...

He drooled as he imagined that wonderful scene.

"Team 1..."

"Team 2..."

Iruka read down the list in order.

When Asuma led Team 10 out, with a reluctant Ino, Shikamaru looking as though "what a drag" was written all over his face, and Choji still eating potato chips, Son Goten's heart sank halfway.

"Team 7!" Iruka raised his voice.

Naruto immediately sat bolt upright, and Sakura nervously clenched her fists.

"Naruto Uzumaki!"

"Yes! Awesome!" Naruto almost jumped up in excitement.

"Sakura Haruno!"

"...And Sasuke Uchiha."

Sakura's heart leaped with joy, and she turned her burning gaze toward Sasuke Uchiha.

"This is great!" Sakura's cheeks flushed with excitement, while Naruto instantly wilted like a deflated balloon.

Sasuke still looked as though everyone owed him money and showed no reaction.

After finishing the list, Iruka did not stop. He cleared his throat.

"Because we have an odd number of graduates this year, and due to a special arrangement by Lord Hokage... Team 7 will have a fourth member."

The entire classroom began whispering. A four-person team was unheard of in Konoha.

Iruka's gaze finally settled on the boy who was still daydreaming.

"Son Goten!"

The room fell silent.

Then-

Bang!

Son Goten slapped his desk and shot to his feet.

"I object!" he roared, stunning everyone.

The whole class focused on him.

"Why?! Why are there two men?!"

He pointed at Naruto and Sasuke with a look of disgust.

"I demand to join Team 8! I want to be with my wife Hinata and protect her!"

Hinata, who had only just recovered, rolled her eyes back when she heard this and fainted in happiness again.

"Or Team 10 works too! My wife Ino is over there!"

Ino Yamanaka, who had just reached the doorway, turned around at his words, tossed her long blond hair with flair, and winked at Goten.

"I wouldn't mind being on a team with Goten, who makes me feel safe. It would certainly beat being stuck with a lazy bum who hates trouble and a fatty who only knows how to eat."

In the distance, Shikamaru and Choji sneezed at the same time.

Sakura watched Son Goten make a scene, her face full of disgust, yet deep in her eyes lurked an anticipation she had not even noticed herself.

"Hmph."

A cold voice rang out.

"I refuse to team up with a dead-last and a useless glutton."

Sasuke Uchiha had finally spoken, his tone full of arrogance.

The playful grin vanished from Son Goten's face.

His figure faded where he stood, and the next moment he was beside Sasuke's desk, his face right in front of Sasuke's.

"Who are you calling a useless glutton, red-eye?"

Goten's voice was soft, carrying an innocent smile.

Sasuke's pupils contracted. He had not seen the other boy move at all.

"Did you forget how much it hurt because I didn't beat you to tears last time?"

"Enough!"

Iruka's furious roar stopped the impending clash.

"This is a direct order from Lord Hokage himself! No objections! Son Goten, sit down!"

Son Goten flashed his white teeth at Sasuke and chuckled. His figure flickered again, and he returned to his seat.

He heaved a sigh and slumped in his chair, looking as though he had nothing left to live for.

"Ah, the adult world is so filthy, using power to destroy my pure dreams."

He turned his gaze toward Sakura and carefully looked her up and down.

"If I can't fight it, I can only close my eyes and enjoy it!"

He looked utterly anguished.

"My wife Sakura, you might be a little flat right now, but that's okay. Stick with me, and I promise I'll take you out for delicious food every day. I'll soon have you nice and plump, and you'll definitely feel better to the touch."

"Who are you calling flat?! You perverted bastard!"

Sakura's anger flared, and she swung her clenched little fist at Son Goten's face without hesitation.

But her fist was easily stopped in midair.

Son Goten held her wrist, his thumb lightly brushing her soft palm.

"See? I told you we were in sync. You're already getting handsy with me."

"You...! I'm not talking to you anymore!" Sakura's face instantly turned scarlet, though whether from anger or embarrassment was unclear, and she yanked her hand back.

"All right! That concludes the team assignments!" Iruka felt his headache growing worse. "After lunch break, your jonin instructors will come get you! Behave yourselves! Especially you, Goten. Dismissed!"

With that, he fled the classroom as though it were some deadly lair.

Soon, the other teams' jonin instructors arrived one after another, and the classroom grew emptier.

In the end, only the four members of Team 7 remained, their personalities wildly different and the atmosphere awkward.

Naruto wanted to talk to Sakura, but Sakura kept inching toward Sasuke, while Sasuke rested his chin on his hand and stared out the window, treating everyone as though they did not exist.

Son Goten propped his feet on the desk, yawned, and watched this "harmonious" scene.

"Hey, Naruto."

"What is it, Goten...?" Naruto replied listlessly.

"Stop waiting around like an idiot," Son Goten drawled. "Team 7's jonin instructor is that white-haired guy called Kakashi Hatake, right?"

Sakura and Naruto both looked over.

"That guy is notorious for being late. I reckon he won't show up until he's dawdled away the whole morning." Son Goten hopped off his chair and patted Naruto's shoulder. "Come on, let's buy some snacks first. My treat, with the vouchers Grandpa Hokage gave me."

"Really?!" Naruto instantly sprang back to life. "I want a big bag of potato chips!"

Sakura could not help speaking up. "Hey! You two! What if our teacher comes and finds us gone?!"

Son Goten merely waved dismissively and pulled Naruto toward the door.

"Relax, my wife Sakura. If I say he'll be late, he'll definitely be late."
