Chapter 30: Team 7

Tonight, Fugaku returned home from work as usual and planned to have dinner with his beloved family. When he saw the empty dining table, he asked.

"Why isn't dinner ready yet, Mikoto? I'm starving."

"Naruto had a little accident during the exam and is in a bad mood. Sasuke went to find him, and they haven't come back yet. Let's wait for them to come home before we start dinner."

"Aw~ Can't I have my meal first? It's already this late. Those two might be having too much fun. Itachi has a mission today and can't come back. How about we eat first!"

Fugaku had been busy all day. He rubbed his growling stomach and couldn't wait to start the meal.

"No~ The whole family should eat together. Let's wait a little longer!"

Fugaku looked at Mikoto, who was smiling. He knew there was no room for negotiation. His wife was usually beautiful, gentle, and virtuous, but she was most terrifying when she forced that kind of smile.

Ah! I should have gone to eat something with Shisui after work.

Fugaku looked out of the window at the moon that had already risen high.

Those two brats! Why aren't they coming back faster? They're going to starve their old man to death!

....................

Today, the classroom at the Ninja Academy was extremely lively.

"Ah! I'm so excited. Today is the Genin meeting. Then it'll be decided who I'll be in a team with!"

"Me too. I was so excited last night that I couldn't sleep."

"Will it be Sasuke or Naruto? They're both super excellent. Who should I choose? Ah! I'm so torn!"

"If it were me, I'd choose Sasuke. He's so handsome, and he got first place in his grades. He's just amazing."

"Really? I always think he's a bit cold. Every time he looks at people, his eyes are so icy. Naruto is better. He's both cheerful and handsome, and his strength is no less than Sasuke's!"

"Oh, by the way, Sakura, who do you want to be in a team with?"

"Aw~ Let me think it over."

Sakura's green eyes looked up at the ceiling. After thinking for a long time, she finally made up her mind.

"Sure enough, Naruto is better!"

"Right, right. I said Naruto seems gentler and easier to get along with."

..................

Σ(っ °Д °;)っ

Sasuke, who had been sitting beside them with his eyes closed and paying no attention to these things, was petrified on the spot when he heard Sakura's choice. His ink-like eyes stared fixedly at the back of Sakura's head.

How is that possible?

Sakura was his wife! Well, in the past life. But in his memory, Sakura always chased after him, always smiled shyly, and always looked at him with affectionate and shy eyes.

Why?

Why has she changed her choice now? Why doesn't she like him anymore?

It's okay if she doesn't like him, but why has she suddenly started to like Naruto?

Right, Naruto! Where is that bastard Naruto? He came to his senses and anxiously searched for Naruto's figure in the classroom.

The hatred of having one's beloved snatched away is irreconcilable. He unexpectedly felt this sense of bitterness and decided he must take revenge on Naruto!

"Ouch!"

Just as he was at a loss, looking around, he bumped right into Naruto who was rushing towards him.

At this moment, no words in the world could describe his feelings!

Damn it, is this ever going to end!

Haven't they kissed before? Why the hell is it happening again?

Is he fated to have Naruto as his first - kiss partner in this life, his past lives, and all his future lives?

What a shitty fate!!!

"Wow! WOW!"

(ʘᴗʘ✿)

The girls in the class instantly got excited when they saw this scene. They screamed and shouted frantically.

"Look, look! They're kissing!"

"Ah! Gods bless! I'm a big fan of this pairing! I'll engrave this moment in my heart forever!"

Naruto blushed, quickly separated from Sasuke, and shyly peeked at his face while darting his eyes around.

(▼へ▼メ)

Furious, Sasuke grabbed Naruto by the collar and shook him vigorously.

"Damn it! What the fuck are you blushing for? Explain it clearly instead of being so shy!"

Seeing Naruto's coy look made Sasuke so angry that he was about to teach this guy a lesson when Iruka walked in.

"Everyone, sit down quietly."

Sasuke reluctantly pushed Naruto aside, turned away angrily, and ignored everyone. As expected, he was assigned to Team 7 along with Naruto and Sakura.

................

"Sasuke, why are you still angry? It's just a kiss. Haven't you kissed before?"

This guy had been angry from the morning's class assignment until it was time to meet their Jonin teacher. Wasn't he tired? Even if Naruto was wrong, it was both their faults, not just his.

"Hey~ Naruto, did you really kiss Sasuke before?"

"Oh, that was just an accident!"

Sasuke looked at Sakura. Her eyes were sparkling, and she didn't look jealous at all. This made him even more furious.

"Anyway, this Jonin teacher is so late. The other classes have already been taken away by their teachers, but ours hasn't come yet!"

"Right! A Jonin should have some sense of time!"

"Hey, Sakura, let's teach him a lesson, shall we?"

"Naruto, do you have any good ideas?"

"Wait and see!"

Saying that, Naruto picked up the blackboard eraser and placed it between the two door frames.

"When he comes in, the eraser will fall and cover him in chalk dust. See if he dares to be late next time!"

"Humph! Boring."

Sasuke glanced at the simple trap out of the corner of his eye and snorted indifferently.

"Don't be like that. If you have a better idea, you can try it too."

This was a blatant provocation!

Just you wait!

Sasuke flashed to the classroom door. He took out the Kunai and Shuriken from his backpack and started setting up a trap.

"Hey, Sasuke, isn't this a bit too much! This doesn't look like a prank. It seems like you're trying to kill someone!"

"What are you afraid of?

Isn't he a Jonin? He should be able to dodge these kid's play-level traps easily."

If these traps really hit him, wouldn't he be instantly turned into a human pincushion?

"Really... really?"

Naruto and Sakura looked at the diverse array of concealed weapon traps and Sasuke's sinister smile. They silently held their breaths for their soon-to-take-office Jonin teacher.

Humph! That pretentious guy, Kakashi! Let's see if he can dodge this time!

Kakashi, who was secretly observing the classroom from behind the scenes, held his breath for himself.
