Hinata Likes You!

'W-what? He likes Sakura??' Naruto felt surprised the very next moment. He knew that Sakura liked Sasuke, but since Sasuke had never shown any interest in pursuing, he had always thought that he had a chance.

However, now that Sasuke had blatantly stated that he liked Sakura, all hopes that Naruto was betting on were shattered.

'If he likes her as well, then there's no way I have a chance with Sakura...' Naruto gritted his teeth as a feeling of insecurity welled up inside him.

Seeing Naruto's blank expression, Sasuke realised that Naruto was mentally unstable right now. This meant that it was a good moment to change his mind.

"You really are unaware," Sasuke scoffed and let go of Naruto. This attracted Naruto's attention, and he glared at him in anger.

Not minding his glare, Sasuke continued, "You've been blindly going after Sakura for so long that you haven't realised that there's someone in our class who has liked you all along."

"Bah! I don't need your pity, go away!" Naruto didn't believe him at all. Everyone in the class only saw him as an annoyance and nothing more.

Sasuke smirked at his reaction and said, "You think everyone in the class sees you as an annoyance, don't you?"

Irritated, Naruto lashed out, "Yes, they do! Happy? I'm not like you, who is admired by everyone in the classroom!"

He didn't want to interact anymore with Sasuke and rushed towards the staircase.

Hearing Naruto's footsteps coming closer, Sakura was pulled out of her stupor. However, because of the delay, she was sure that Naruto would see if even if she tried to escape now.

'No! I'll be caught at this rate!' Sakura thought in worry.

Just at that time, Sasuke's voice came from behind.

"Hinata Hyuga! She likes you!"

"What?" Naruto stopped in his tracks and turned around the next moment.

'W-what??' Sakura, too, was shocked at this revelation, but her fear of getting caught overcame her curiosity, and she rushed downstairs the next moment.

"So now you want to listen, huh?" Sasuke grinned when he saw Naruto's confused face, which was filled with questions.

Taking this the wrong way, Naruto lashed out the next moment, "So you were just playing with me?!"

"Why would I do that? Since we are teammates now, I just felt that I should help you out a little," Sasuke said in a pace that was neither too fast nor too slow, which made one feel a sense of confidence in his words.

"Wait, but why?... Why would she like me? I've barely talked to her in so many years," Naruto couldn't help but question.

"Beats me, she had feelings for you since the start of the ninja academy. She's shy time so it's normal for her not to say it out, but I had expected you to catch the signs by now...but you didn't. Just how dumb are you?" Sasuke mocked.

"Hah! Like hell I'll believe you. If I had liked myself for so long, I would have definitely known. I'm not falling for your traps, you bastard!" Snorting his nose in anger, Naruto turned around and started walking.

"Sure, don't believe me and keep ignoring the feelings of Hinata, who has been waiting for you for all these years," Sasuke said in a mocking manner and escaped out of the window.

"You!" Naruto turned around to start another argument with him, only to see that he was no longer there.

"Sasuke!" Naruto roared in anger and frustration when he saw this.

Clicking his tongue, he soon walked down the stairs, but a question kept popping up in his mind.

'Does she really like me?'

Hinata's shy image appeared in front of his mind the next moment.

Thinking of the possibility that a cute and shy girl like her would have feelings for him, Naruto couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

"Nah, it can't be! Sasuke must be playing with me," Naruto soon shook those thoughts away and reached downstairs.

Grumble~

However, the next moment his stomach started aching.

"W-what...!" Naruto clutched his stomach and immediately rushed to the toilet to relieve himself.

The expired morning milk had taken its effect.
