Almost disapproved.

...

After a while we are quietly eating in the middle of the night while the average is practically a few minutes away.

"It seems that if someone approves or disapproves from our group it will be seen in the next few minutes"

Rai puts on a serious expression at the matter as Sayuki adjusts her glasses.

The minutes go by and then from one moment to the next a light laugh sounds in the forest.

"Hehehe it seems they are very confident"

We turn in a certain direction and there we see the teacher calmly leaving among the trees.

He walks over with a smile and says.

"Everyone approves" Anime camera effects where the faces of the 3 appear on the screen in succession *inserted*.

"As they thought, in the test they had two options but several ways to do it"

"In general, the conditions for disapproval were that you will fight each other or that you separate and wait without doing anything or interacting with anyone"

Then he frowned.

'Not that if they were children like the other teams then they would have chosen to take the scroll from their companions or wait anxiously for their scroll to be the correct one.'

"Missions are always in teams, so it's important to make decisions as a team, fighting among yourselves or making decisions without consulting each other is something very detrimental among a team" he adjusts his glasses while smiling slightly.

"Then why let us choose between 6 scrolls when you can just give us 2 true and 1 false?"

"That was so they had a little anxiety"

"The previous students that I evaluated either didn't realize anything or if they did, they thought that there were only those two options and stupidly chose to fight each other"

"You guys came close to disapproving but I was surprised by your decision to sacrifice yourself" He looks at Sayuki and me.

"There are times in which in a mission they may have to be very injured as Yubeng said; knowing if you are a burden is especially important in a very important mission like the planting, one that puts the lives of many at stake; self-sacrifice to the salvation of many ninjas; killing your comrades is a shameful act and trying to deny them self-sacrifice can be a way of shaming them for their inability"

"Was that the correct answer?" I ask frowning.

"No, that was just the way you guys thought; each person is naturally different so others might consider going all the way together."

(PS: In conclusion, Izawa hadn't really thought so deeply)

He says keeping his smile.

"But anyway, I'm glad you guys passed my test, congratulations"

...

After that day we started doing D level quests (stupid in my opinion).

...

Today is my day off, so I decided to go for a walk to clear my mind a bit and see what I find today.

'Finally, those missions were boring me to death' I say while thinking about the community service we give in these so-called missions.

These days I've been thinking about what I'm going to do.

The day that Orochimaru is going to pay a visit is drawing near, which means that things will only get more interesting.

He asked me what role he should play in all this.

Whether to be an observer or actively interact in all this.

This is of course something I've been thinking about for a long time, of course.

But every time I reached a conclusion, the next day things happen that make me change my mind.

But anyway, I think that when the moment approaches I will be forced to take some action on all this.

...

As I was walking down the street I saw a familiar silhouette on the other side of the street.

'Hinata?'

I see who appears to be Hinata walking calmly somewhere.

'What a coincidence to see you around here' I watch her go while I think.

'I guess now that I'm closer to Naruko then wouldn't she be considered some sort of rival?' I mean, after all, in this version, she deeply admires Naruko(it seems that some things won't change).

Now I am in a dilemma if I should try to communicate.

In the past I didn't have a compelling reason to spend my time interacting with her but now...

I look everywhere to look for someone.

"There is no Ino and Tenten in sight, Naruko is not present...I think it is fate that I pay her a visit"

So I decide to follow her since I have nothing to do today.

(PDA: My intention is to make a bastard out of Yuu at the beginning of the fanfic; but don't worry about this, this inclination will be cured later and I can assure you that she will not want to chase any skirts anymore)

So I sneakily walk behind her at a safe distance so she doesn't suspect me.

...

I've been following her for a short time and I've already figured out her trajectory, so I managed to go to the end of the street where she's going to pass.

So I'm walking calmly down the sidewalk and on the other side is Hinata who sees me but seeing that I'm not looking at her as if I hadn't seen her, she lowers her head a little and continues walking by my side.

But before she can follow her path by my side I stop her with a wave.

"Hello Hinata" I speak with a big smile.

"Hey?!" She is surprised.

"What's wrong? Don't you remember me anymore?"

"This- I don't"

"Hehe, there's no need to be nervous, we are classmates after all, therefore we are friends right?"

"Ehh- friends?" Hearing my words she gets more nervous.

"Yes friends..."

...

After a while of talking and getting to know each other more, Hinata calms down.

"So where were you going?"

"Um-, nowhere in particular, I was just walking to clear my mind" She replies passively.

In our conversation, I talk like we've been friends for a long time while she shyly responds passively.

"Oh, what a coincidence, I'm also clearing my mind"

Although in truth I went out to see what I could find on the street.

"You know, every time I think of you, I feel like we have a lot in common."

"A lot- in common?" she asks with a bit of shyness and uncertainty.

"Yes, of course, many, but among them I would say that one stands out more than the rest" I say directing a smile in her direction.

I notice that her face has turned a little red with embarrassment (he looked directly into her eyes when she turned around).

"Our admiration for Naraku is the same"

Then like a bolt of lightning through Hinata she freezes.

"W-What?!"

"I've seen how you look at her, in that look of yours I feel familiar since I often have it too"

"Ah- eh- no -..." Hinata, as if she had discovered her most hidden and embarrassing secret, remains speechless looking at me nervously.
