The first thing was Sasuke joining in.
He still remembered Naruto's speech from the bell test. After a few D-rank missions together, he kept running into Naruto practicing shuriken at the training ground.
Perfect timing.
Sasuke had been drilled in shuriken by his brother and was a standout among their cohort.
So one day, when he caught Naruto practicing again, he awkwardly pointed out one of Naruto's flaws.
Naruto's eyes lit up instantly.
Oh? Mr. Cool-Guy is giving pointers now?
"Why should I listen to you?" Naruto stuck out his tongue. "Are you that good at shuriken?"
Nearby, Sakura paused her training, munching popcorn in spirit.
"Your motions are wrong. Thrown like that, they won't do any real damage."
"Oh yeah? Maybe if the great Sasuke-the-Heartthrob throws them, they magically get damage bonuses."
"What did you say?!" Sasuke practically bristled.
"Unless you demonstrate it, I won't believe you." Naruto plopped down cross-legged, fully prepared to watch a show.
Sasuke forced down his anger, pulled out a set of kunai, and hurled them in one smooth breath—each blade biting cleanly into the bullseyes on several practice posts.
"Sasuke-kun is pretty amazing~" Sakura clapped, playing the good cop.
"Huh? I didn't even see that clearly. Doesn't count." Naruto waved it off.
A vein popped on Sasuke's hand. "Then you try!"
"Nope. That's a self-validation trap." Naruto sprang up, grinning. "Let's do this instead—throw together and compare scores."
"Fine!"
A moment later—
"Doesn't count. You standing next to me messed up my force." Naruto shrugged.
"Tch. Your grip is wrong. Hold the lower end. Pull your arm back to store power, and rotate your body with the throw."
"Yeah yeah yeah." Naruto's mouth was lazy, but his brain etched every point into memory.
"Try again and I'll believe you. Actually, forget it—you'll just keep bothering me anyway."
"Naruto, you—! Again!"
Sakura fought back laughter, quietly memorizing the pointers too as the two kept throwing.
"Too much force—you'll overshoot in real combat."
"Watch the wind. Headwind means throw harder."
"Don't lock your waist and shoulders. Use your whole body."
"…."
Before they realized it, an entire afternoon had passed.
"You sound kind of right," Naruto pinched his fingers to show a tiny gap. "I guess I grew by… one ten-thousandth."
Sasuke turned his head away like he wanted nothing to do with Naruto.
But inside, he felt oddly full.
It had been a long time since he'd talked this much with someone his age.
Correcting Naruto's posture and watching Naruto's hit rate climb gave him a surprising sense of accomplishment.
Like he'd unlocked a teacher buff.
He couldn't stop.
The next day and the next, Sasuke kept "accidentally running into" Naruto practicing, then started criticizing him because he "couldn't stand watching."
During this period, Sasuke and Sakura were improving fast too.
Sometimes, Sakura would buy three bottles of water and occasionally play part-time kunai-picker.
Of course, Naruto and Sasuke still spent most of their time bickering.
Their teamwork sharpened constantly. By Naruto's estimate, Team Seven's strength was already far above the canon timeline.
The second thing was honestly kind of funny.
Once Sasuke started training with Naruto and Sakura, his natural star-power attracted a crowd of classmates.
Mostly girls who had crushes on him.
Before this, Sasuke always trained alone in some hidden place. Nobody knew where he went.
Besides those girls, some boys passed by too—and quickly got drawn to Sakura instead.
This Sakura from Sichuan-Chongqing was nothing like the original. After transmigrating, she completely ditched things like reading comics or visiting flower shops and poured everything into training.
As she put it, "It's like a single-player grinding session—farm levels off-map, then storm the dungeon. The high is insane."
Naruto had said that sounded like a pro smurfing in bronze—
and Sakura had casually punched him in the back of the head, leaving a lump the size of a basketball.
Yeah. Her brute strength was skyrocketing.
So—
A Sakura who tied her hair high, didn't shop, didn't gossip, had no cheat code, and trained like a demon purely on technique and raw power…
The "Ninjabattle Sakura" version officially debuted.
Even Ino put her "flirt with Sasuke" schedule on hold to ask if Sakura had eaten the wrong medicine lately.
Sakura's reply was brutally simple:
"Don't bother me. I'm training."
That extreme attitude captured several boys' hearts almost immediately.
Sakura had always been pretty—remember, Lee had once chased her like crazy. The only reason she lost popularity early canon was her insane crush-brain and her mocking Naruto for being an orphan, which had tanked her public image.
Now, boys started pursuing her.
At first, she rejected them politely.
Later, some thick-skinned ones began waiting outside her house every day, hovering and fawning.
Sakura's patience snapped.
Finally, on a bright sunny day, she picked a random boy and asked:
"Do you have any erotic books?"
"Huh?"
The boy froze. Naruto, watching from the side, froze harder.
"Do you have any erotic books?" Sakura asked again.
"I—I do," the boy blurted, forcing himself to play along.
His brain instantly filled with a scene so explicit it would never pass censorship—
"You do, huh?" Sakura nodded.
"Then go read them. Talking to you is really annoying."
The boy turned to stone on the spot.
Naruto nearly died trying not to laugh, covering his mouth as his whole soul convulsed.
Congrats, kid. You can immediately transmigrate into Lord of the Besties and drink the "Clown Potion."
The outrageous quote spread like wildfire. Sakura got labeled as savage and toxic, and most would-be suitors retreated.
A few creepier guys tried spreading sexual rumors about her. Naruto heard about it, muttered "of course," then dragged Sasuke out to beat them senseless.
Time flew by.
Today, Team Seven got the mission to help some important person catch a cat.
In canon, Naruto would throw a fit afterward and the Third Hokage would assign them the Land of Waves escort mission.
Before they left, Naruto gave Sakura a heads-up.
"We're about to clear the Land of Waves arc," he said, tightening his gear pouch. "I've been watching Konoha closely. No signs of any other transmigrators."
"The reasonable guess is… it's just the two of us. Yeah. Honestly, I don't think there are any others."
Sakura didn't answer. She rubbed her eyes.
Her right eyelid had been twitching nonstop.
