Inside the classroom.
Naruto Uzumaki's bright smiling face collapsed little by little after hearing Iruka's words.
Although he was careless, he was not stupid. He could feel that Iruka-sensei was looking in his direction when he said this.
But he obviously didn't do anything.
But why was he labeled as "needing to be protected" and "not working hard" as soon as he entered school?
A sense of grievance and unwillingness surged into his heart, making his eyes turn slightly red.
Sasuke on the side also noticed that Iruka was looking in the direction of him and Naruto when he said this.
But he has always been proud of his family. When he heard Iruka, it seemed that he and Naruto could only rely on the protection of their family.
He immediately retorted, "Teacher."
As soon as he made this sound, everyone in the class looked at Sasuke.
I saw Sasuke Uchiha standing up, his black eyes looking directly at Iruka on the podium without fear.
Sasuke's voice was not loud, but it was extremely clear, "Teacher, I think giving biased guidance without understanding the students' abilities violates what you just said 'Will of Fire'?"
Hiss--!
There was a gasp of air in the classroom.
All the little devils were shocked.
On the first day of school, do you dare to confront the teacher?
As expected of the Uchiha Clan! So handsome!
Ino Yamanaka even covered her mouth with excitement, and the little stars in her eyes almost flew out.
"Sasuke..." Naruto stared blankly at the "brother" standing in front of him, and the grievance in his heart was instantly washed away by a warm current.
Iruka's face instantly became extremely ugly.
He didn't expect that a kid from the Uchiha Clan who had just entered school would dare to contradict him like this!
"Sasuke Uchiha!" Iruka's voice was a bit stern, "I am teaching everyone the correct concept of ninja! Are you questioning the teacher? Sit down!"
"I'm just stating the facts." Sasuke refused to give in. "If you think stating the facts is questioning, then you, as a teacher, may not be able to teach us true strength."
"You!" Iruka was so angry that his face turned red.
He has been a teacher for so many years and has never seen such an arrogant student!
"Well said!"
Kiba Inuzuka whistled in fear of chaos in the world, and his Ninja Dog Akamaru also followed with a "woof" sound.
"Even so, we will work very hard. I was born Yamanaka Clan. What does it mean to not rely on family protection?"
In the class, some students who were just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously began to whisper in agreement.
The prestige of Iruka encountered unprecedented challenges in the first class of school.
His anger was almost uncontrollable.
"Sasuke Uchiha! Go to the outer wall of the corridor!" He pointed at the door and shouted sternly.
Sasuke heard this and was about to refute, but Naruto beside him couldn't sit still.
"Teacher, if you want to punish me, punish me too." Naruto also stood up and said directly.
"You... you all get out of here and face the wall in the corridor!!!" Iruka's face turned red with anger.
The corridor of the Ninja Academy is so quiet that you can hear the sun falling on the floor.
Compared with Iruka's slightly hurried lectures in the classroom, this place seems to be another world.
Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha, two little figures carved in pink and jade, stood side by side against the wall, like two door gods who were punished to stand.
Sasuke put his hands in his pockets, turned his face sideways, and glanced at Naruto beside him with an indifferent expression from the corner of his eye. The unknown fire in his heart suddenly came out.
"Idiot."
In a voice that only two people could hear, he uttered two words coldly.
"Huh?" Naruto turned his head and blinked his blue eyes, full of innocence, "Are you talking about me, brother?"
Sasuke's forehead, that familiar "#" character began to hurt a little again.
"I'm saying that there is no need for you to follow me out." Sasuke resisted the urge to correct the other person's title and maintained his cold voice, "I refuted the teacher because he questioned our Uchiha Clan's pride. This is our family's business and has nothing to do with you."
In his opinion, he stood up to defend the honor of his family. But Naruto, an idiot, was punished along with him. It was purely hot-headed and a typical "big injustice" behavior.
"How come it doesn't matter?"
Naruto, however, confidently puffed out his chest, approached Sasuke, lowered his voice, and looked mysterious.
"I can see clearly that the teacher named Iruka keeps glancing towards me. What he said about 'relying on others for protection' is obviously talking about me!"
Naruto curled his lips, a hint of sensitivity that was inconsistent with his sunny temperament flashed across his face.
"You stood up, even though you said something about 'Uchiha's pride', you were clearly supporting me! As my 'brother', how could I, Naruto Uzumaki, watch you 'suffer' outside alone?"
"..."
Sasuke was speechless for a moment.
He found that he couldn't refute.
Because what this idiot seems to say... makes a little sense?
It was indeed when he saw Naruto's slumped little face that he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.
"Huh, you're thinking too much." Sasuke turned his head to the other side, but his ears turned red unnoticeably, "I just simply think that the teacher is not good enough."
In fact, it is different from the original work. In the original work, Naruto was not taught since he was a child and has always been in a state of barbaric growth, so when he first entered Ninja Academy, he could not do anything. The foundation was also relatively poor, and no one taught him, so he behaved more crotchally.
Uchiha Clan now lives and grew up with Sasuke Uchiha. Uchiha Fugaku would not pull Naruto down when he occasionally taught Sasuke, so some basic exercises, such as Shuriken throwing, etc., the current Naruto is actually not bad.
This is why Iruka had such a big reaction when he said they relied on family and others for protection.
"Hehe, I understand everything." Naruto smiled like a little fox that had caught fish. He stretched out his arm, stepped forward and hooked Sasuke's neck. The two brothers said kindly, "But don't worry, brother! From now on in school, brother will protect you! Whoever dares to shame you, I will shoot him with Shuriken!"
"Let go of your hand! Besides, I'm the brother!" Sasuke struggled, but didn't use much strength.
"Competition! Competition! Whoever learns the Ninjutsu in school first will be the elder brother!"
"Childish! I can learn that kind of thing in three days!"
"Bragging! You wet the bed yesterday!"
"I didn't! It was your drink that spilled it!"
"..."
