The reason behind the growing tension was still the incident when Naruto stole the *Scroll of Seals* that night.
That night, Sarutobi Asuma, as a Jonin of Konoha Village, was also sent out to investigate.
Later, he heard that Mizuki, the one pulling the strings, had actually been killed by Sasuke.
Sasuke was only a newly graduated Genin, yet he had taken down Mizuki, a Chunin and teacher at the Ninja Academy, with just one move.
This was the first time Sasuke's reputation spread widely among the ninjas of Konoha Village.
The Uchiha clan does not produce weaklings!
Despite being the last of the Uchiha clan, Sasuke had already shown tremendous potential, even at his young age. He was not someone to be underestimated.
In addition to his strong performance at the academy, he had established himself as a genius among the students.
"Hello, I'm Uchiha Sasuke from Kakashi Hatake's Team 7. I'm here to pick up my girlfriend, Ino, and take her home."
Sasuke spoke with confidence and calmness, showing no sign of nervousness. It was no exaggeration to say that even if Asuma, Shikamaru, and Choji joined forces, they still might not be enough to defeat Sasuke.
Why should he be afraid of them?
Even Sarutobi Asuma's father, the Third Hokage, would have to negotiate with Sasuke on equal terms. Asuma, being merely the Hokage's son, was shown courtesy only because Sasuke wanted to respect Ino.
Though Sasuke had a reputation for being flirtatious, he was undeniably a man who cared deeply for the women in his life.
"Sasuke…"
Ino blushed as Sasuke called her his girlfriend in front of her newly formed Team 10.
She stood up, holding Sasuke's hand, feeling shy and a little awkward.
Shikamaru, being as sharp as ever, recognized the situation. Not only did he have a high IQ, but his emotional intelligence wasn't lacking either.
He spoke up, "Since he's Ino's boyfriend, he's not really an outsider. Bring an extra pair of chopsticks, and let's eat together."
Shikamaru's suggestion made it clear that he wanted Sasuke to stay.
"The barbecue has just been served, and Ino hasn't had much to eat yet." Shikamaru added.
If Sasuke took Ino home now, she would miss the meal.
Asuma, reading the room, didn't want to make things uncomfortable for either Ino or Sasuke.
"If you don't mind, Sasuke, why not join us for the meal?" Asuma suggested, "Afterwards, you can take Ino home."
Shikamaru wasn't surprised by Sasuke's appearance. Ino being with Sasuke was not unexpected, especially for a young couple.
Asuma, however, felt a little awkward. After all, like Kakashi, he was still a single man. Times were changing so fast—how old were Sasuke and Ino, and they were already together?
"Ino, do you want to stay and eat something?" Sasuke asked thoughtfully, taking her feelings into account.
Sasuke was considerate. Despite his many girlfriends, he wanted Ino and Sakura to have as normal a life as possible and avoid any drama because of their relationship with him.
"Mm!" Ino nodded, her face flushed with mixed emotions. It wasn't just the food she was thinking about.
She needed to build a good working relationship with her new team, and it was important for her that Team 10 understood Sasuke. She wanted them to get along because they were all important to her.
Sasuke sat down naturally, treating Team 10 just like his own Team 7. In contrast, Shikamaru, Choji, and Asuma felt a little more uncomfortable. Sasuke was hungry and started eating heartily, making the atmosphere around the table feel casual.
After the meal, Sasuke took Ino's hand, and they left the restaurant early. During the meal, Sasuke had gotten acquainted with Team 10 for the first time, and Asuma couldn't help but feel a bit jealous that Team 7 had such a talent like Sasuke.

Walking hand in hand with Sasuke, Ino finally felt relaxed after leaving the restaurant.
During the meal, Sasuke had been bold, making her feel flustered with his touches, yet she had to keep her composure. Now alone, she could finally express her feelings.
"Sasuke-kun, you're such a tease~" She exclaimed playfully.
With a wicked grin, Sasuke replied, "Oh, my dear Ino, how am I being bad?"
"Sasuke-kun, not here on the street…" Ino blushed, trying to hold back her embarrassment.
"Don't worry, it's dark. No one can see us," Sasuke teased, but he eventually pulled his hands back, not wanting to overwhelm her.
Touching Ino even through her clothes felt special to Sasuke.
"Come on, let's go home and talk about our future." Sasuke said, eager to get her home.
They arrived at Ino house, the same place where both Ino and Sakura had spent time with Sasuke before. Memories of that day flooded Ino's mind. (It was Ino's house, I made mistake in one of the previous chapter)
Sasuke's hand gently stroked Ino's hair. The feeling of being with such a beautiful girl who was different from Sakura brought him happiness.
"Let me help you with your clothes." Sasuke said as he began undressing her slowly, savoring every shy expression on her face.
"Hmm~ Sasuke-kun, finally, we're alone." Ino said, her voice filled with both joy and vulnerability. She longed for these private moments where she could be with him, alone and cherished.
"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting, Ino. Let's enjoy this time together." Sasuke whispered lovingly as they indulged in each other's affection.
"Ummm~ Yes, kiss my whole body~" Ino moaned as Sasuke made her complete naked, revealing her s*xy body. He the first kissed her head, then eyes, then nose and just like that he started kissing her whole body.
"Sniff~ Your p*ssy smells so erotic." Coming kn front of her p*ssy, Sasuke spread it wide open and smelled it. Her p*ssy's inside's were closing and opening.
"Mmmmm~ Yes~ Only you have the right to smell my p*ssy~ Ummmm~" Ino said while moaning, feeling Sasuke's hot breath upon her sensitive p*ssy, she bit her lips.
After hours of s*x together, Sasuke kissed her and suggested, "Let's call it a night. You need to get back to your normal routine tomorrow."
Ino, looking content, agreed, "Yes, I'll listen to you." For once, Ino felt at peace, living a happy, normal life, even if just for the night. She quickly fell asleep in Sasuke's arms.
When Sasuke stepped outside, he noticed Ino's parents. Sasuke smiled, greeted them briefly, and left.

Naruto returned, utterly exhausted and drenched in sweat. Today, he had been the only one busy with tasks assigned to Kakashi's Team 7.
Whether it was catching cats, weeding, or picking up trash by the creek, Naruto had done it all alone. He felt drained and deeply wronged.
Naruto gazed at the bustling streets of Konoha Village, with its bright lights and people coming and going, feeling overwhelmed.
'It feels like the gap between me and Sasuke keeps getting bigger.' He thought bitterly.
Though Naruto had accepted that Sakura and Sasuke were together, the thought of Sasuke being so happy with her made him feel even worse.
Just then, he bumped into Shikamaru.
Shikamaru noticed Naruto's worn-out expression and greeted him, "Naruto, why are you home so late?"
Naruto, feeling defeated, replied weakly, "Kakashi-sensei is biased. He let Sasuke and Sakura leave early to have fun while I was stuck finishing a task that took half the day."
Shikamaru chuckled lightly, "Don't you enjoy being a ninja and doing missions, Naruto?"
Naruto grumbled, "That depends on the mission! These were just boring chores like weeding, catching cats, and picking up trash. Kakashi didn't make Sasuke or Sakura do any of them and left them all to me. It's infuriating!"
Shikamaru hadn't expected Naruto to be having such a hard time. Everyone knew about Naruto's crush on Sakura.
Now, not only was Sakura one of Sasuke's girlfriends, but Sasuke and Sakura had left Naruto to handle the work alone while they went off to enjoy themselves.
Shikamaru patted Naruto's shoulder sympathetically, "Actually, we had a Team 10 dinner, and guess who showed up? Sasuke."
"Why was Sasuke with Team 10?" Naruto asked, puzzled, "Shouldn't he have been with Sakura?"
Shikamaru explained, "Team 10, led by Asuma-sensei, is made up of me, Choji, and Ino."
"Ino?" Naruto smiled bitterly, "I get it now. Sasuke's shameless. He's got Sakura, but he's still going after Ino."
Naruto felt even worse.
Shikamaru sighed, "I have to admit, Sasuke is something else. He probably made sure Sakura was happy before sneaking off to meet Ino. Somehow, he's able to manage having multiple girlfriends without any drama."
"If it were me, dealing with two girls at once would drive me nuts." Shikamaru added with a smirk.
Shikamaru, being straightforward and pragmatic, wasn't as demanding or greedy when it came to relationships. The idea of handling multiple women seemed like more trouble than it was worth to him.
"But Sasuke is generous too." Shikamaru noted suddenly, "When he showed up at our barbecue, he not only joined us, but he paid for the entire meal."
Shikamaru couldn't help but admire Sasuke, "Sasuke is handsome, a genius, and generous. Honestly, if I were a girl, I'd probably like him too."
Sasuke didn't just take advantage of his relationship with Ino for free meals; he made sure to pay in advance. That kind of thoughtful behavior earned him a lot of respect from Team 10.
Choji and Asuma had been impressed as well. Sasuke knew how to handle things in a way that left people satisfied.
After hearing all this, Naruto felt a whirlwind of emotions. He was tired, hungry, and now, even more conflicted.
"Alright, I won't say any more. I'm heading home." Shikamaru said, bidding Naruto farewell, "You should rest up too, Naruto."
Naruto nodded in agreement. Though he and Shikamaru weren't particularly close, they had more to talk about now, mostly thanks to Sasuke.
As Shikamaru walked away, Naruto's stomach growled in hunger.
He reached into his pocket and pulled out the small amount of money Sasuke had given him earlier that day.
Naruto, being proud, didn't like spending Sasuke's money. Normally, he would have just gone home to eat some expired instant noodles. But after what Shikamaru had said about Sasuke's generosity, Naruto reconsidered.
Maybe Sasuke's kindness extended to him as well. After all, Sasuke had paid for the entire Team 10's dinner.
"Ichiraku ramen it is, " Naruto decided. He walked over to the familiar ramen stand, "Boss, I'll take a large bowl of ramen!" The warm, comforting ramen lifted Naruto's spirits. When people are tired and beaten down, even a simple meal can bring joy.
"Naruto-kun…" a soft voice whispered.
What Naruto didn't realize was that someone had been watching him all along—Hinata Hyuga, hidden away in a corner.
Hinata's feelings were complicated. Sasuke had kissed and touched her, but they hadn't gone any further. Still, she felt unworthy of Naruto now.
Even though Sasuke had wormed his way into her heart, Hinata couldn't easily forget Naruto, the boy she had secretly loved for years. She no longer dared to dream of being with Naruto, but she still couldn't stop herself from caring about him, even if only as a friend.
Just then, Sasuke, who had been on his way home after spending time with Sakura and Ino, noticed Hinata spying on Naruto. He had been proud of himself, managing his growing harem so smoothly. But seeing Hinata watching Naruto brought a sudden wave of jealousy.
"Hinata, what are you doing?" Sasuke asked, his voice sharp.
"I am just going home…" Hinata murmured. She knew that being tangled up with Sasuke meant she might never truly escape him.
"Alright, I'll take you home." Sasuke said smoothly. After all, he had already made Sakura and Ino happy. Now it was Hinata's turn.
__________
Sasuke moved quickly. His training with Kakashi earlier that day had sharpened both his ninjutsu and taijutsu skills. But to him, these were just tools—his real interest was using his talents to build his harem.
With his Byakugan activated, Sasuke avoided the Hyuga clan guards as he carried Hinata back to her room.
Hinata's emotions were in turmoil. She didn't know whether to hit Sasuke, yell at him, or accept him. She was caught in a web of feelings she couldn't untangle.
Sasuke, however, had made his choice. He liked Hinata more than any of his other girlfriends.
As he helped her get comfortable, Sasuke spoke softly, "Don't worry, Hinata. I may be a playboy, but I have my limits."
'At least with you.' He silently added.
"I'll stay with you until you're ready to accept me." Sasuke promised, settling down next to her. He found one of Hinata's pajamas, put it on himself as a joke, and fell asleep, holding her close.
Hinata's heart pounded in her chest, and the tension between them was palpable.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, startling both of them.
