"Naruto! Why are you so late!"
Sakura was very angry when she saw that Naruto was comfortable, but she and Sasuke had to endure hunger and had to wait for such a long time, and she had to endure the anxiety that she might be eliminated!
Sasuke didn't care about showing his character, but he didn't forget that he couldn't beat Naruto, so he just clenched his fists.
"Don't be in such a hurry."
Naruto dodged Sakura's oncoming fist and came to the back of Sakura and put his hand on Sakura's shoulder very, very carefully.
"!" Sakura was startled and woke up from her anger.
This was Naruto! Even Sasuke couldn't beat Naruto!
But, was his speed always this fast?
Because Sakura had never competed with Naruto, she had no clear understanding of Naruto's strength and feels that Naruto's speed is normal.
But Sasuke and Kakashi, who were watching secretly, were shocked inside.
Sasuke only felt that Naruto's strength became stronger again, and it had become more difficult to defeat him.
But when Kakashi saw Naruto move, he seemed to see the 'Shisui' who had the strongest Body Flicker Technique back then.
"Body Flicker Technique? But I didn't see him make a seal. What's going on with Naruto today?"
Kakashi was puzzled.
After all, from an ordinary Genin to suddenly gaining this much strength in one night, everyone would find it incredible and if he told it to others, they may even think he is joking.
"Naru... Naruto..."
Sakura didn't move, afraid that Naruto would hit her, after all, she shot first.
But at this moment, Naruto didn't even dare to fight with people easily, he was afraid of killing them accidentally.
"Here, let's drink some milk to quench your thirst. I estimate that Kakashi sensei will arrive in a while."
Naruto took out two cartons of milk from his backpack and handed them to Sasuke and Sakura.
Sasuke didn't speak, just picked it up and drank it.
"Yes, but Kakashi sensei told us not to eat breakfast..."
Sakura was a little hesitant. After all, she was also the kind of child who was more obedient to the teacher, otherwise, she would not be a top student.
"But Kakashi sensei himself didn't do what he said, we just had some drinks, nothing to worry about."
When Sakura thought of the teacher who was several hours late, she was again angry. If this was the case, why worry?
She took the milk in one hand and drank it angrily.
Sure enough, she felt better after drinking milk.
"Do you know something?"
Sasuke looked at Naruto and asked.
"What?"
"This exercise."
"I don't know, just let nature take its course, and let's perform well."
Naruto didn't say much, knowing that Kakashi was present, if Naruto spoke the answer directly, this test would be directly invalidated and lose the meaning of its existence.
He had nothing to worry about, he knew the plot anyway, but for Sasuke and Sakura, just knowing the answer and personally experiencing the correctness of the answer were two different results.
The first lesson of being a ninja was of great significance to those who had just graduated from the academy, and it was also an important experience in life, which was indispensable.
"Really? Then why are you late?"
Sasuke looked at Naruto suspiciously.
He felt that Naruto knew something like when he would challenge him every time he improved, but Naruto always knew that he would be the final winner, so he still accepted his challenges as if he saw through everything.
"I'm thinking of Kakashi sensei, who is quite similar to me. Since he was late the first time, there will definitely be a second time. This is already a habit, and I felt that he doesn't feel very good about being a teacher, which is quite troublesome. So if we are all eliminated, he will probably be happier."
"So I got up a little late and came here when I was ready."
Of course, Naruto was talking nonsense.
"..."
But hearing it, Sasuke was speechless at first and after thinking about it, he frankly thought it made sense!
"This kid's guess is quite accurate, but the time is almost up."
Kakashi thought that part of what Naruto said was right, such as not wanting to be a jonin teacher, but others were wrong.
After all, as a ninja, if he couldn't complete the task without any factors that were not conducive to the task such as 'being late'. He is not fit as a ninja.
….
The three sat on the ground, drinking milk, in silence.
"Good morning, everyone, sorry, sorry, I'm late~"
Kakashi suddenly appeared, with a backpack on his back, one hand in his pocket, and he greeted them with a smile.
"Sensei, it's almost noon!"
Sakura bit the straw and complained.
At this time, Sakura had already started to act unsatisfactorily and felt that it didn't matter, and her mentality returned to normal.
"Okay, okay, since it's so late, let's start quickly."
While talking, Kakashi took out an alarm clock, adjusted the time, and placed it on a wooden stake beside him.
"The time...is set to noon."
ring~
"I have two bells here. Your task is to snatch them from me before the alarm rings."
"Eh?"
"Those who can't grab the bell within the specified time are not eligible to eat lunch, and he or she will be tied up to watch us eat bento."
"Nani? Is that why you didn't let us have breakfast?!"
Sakura asked.
"That's right."
"Two bells, just grab one, but... one of you will be tied up, and..."
Sakura looked at Kakashi nervously.
"He/She will also be eliminated due to mission failure. In other words, at least one person will have to go back to the ninja school for retraining~"
Kakashi announced the rules with a smile.
Sakura turned pale, thinking that she was doomed.
Sasuke was okay, full of confidence.
Naruto was thinking that it would take a few days for him to fully grasp his new power.
"So...come with the intent to kill. You can't grab the bell if you don't have the determination to kill me."
"Are you ready?"
…
