29: Chapter 29 Steam Girl! The Classic TrioHer heart was pounding as if it would explode.Her hands gripped the hem of her clothes so tightly that her knuckles turned white.She opened her mouth, but could only utter faint, incomprehensible syllables.
"I.um.you.good morning.congratulations on your graduation."
She felt like she was suffocating, and her mind went completely blank!
Naruto was completely bewildered by Hinata's appearance: her head was "smoking," her face was as red as a ripe tomato, and she was rambling incoherently.
'Huh?She seems.ignoring me?'
Naruto said to Ichigo in his mind, puzzled, "Ichigo, are you sure you're not mistaken?She seems to really dislike me; she can't even speak!"
"You absolute idiot—!"
In his consciousness space, Ichigo was so angry he was about to jump up and down, even the phantom of his Zanpakuto was trembling violently."This doesn't sound like being annoying at all!This is clearly him being so shy he's about to explode!"
I really don't understand what she saw in you!Does she have a different aesthetic sense than us, with white eyes?Does she think someone like you, a loser, is cool?
Naruto still didn't quite understand the specific difference between "shy" and "dislike," nor did he quite understand Ichigo's final sarcastic remark.
But he still caught the core message that "she's interested in me," as well as Ichigo's irritable yet certain tone!
"Hehehe."
The confusion on Naruto's face was instantly replaced by a huge, bright, and slightly silly smile.
It turns out that besides the idols I imagined, there really are girls in real life who like me!
It feels.not bad at all!
Without giving it any further thought, he naturally and with a touch of happiness and smugness, sat down next to Hinata, whose face was flushed, who was practically steaming with nervousness, and who was on the verge of fainting.
"From now on, we'll be comrades, Hinata!"
Naruto said with a smile, his voice full of sunshine.
Hinata, upon hearing the word "comrade," steamed even more violently, her entire body stiffening like a stone.
But in those white eyes that were secretly glancing at Naruto's profile, there was an unprecedented, subtle, and bright light.
Inside the classroom, the girls' clamor surrounding Sasuke continued, while in the corner by the window, a quiet stillness quietly crept in, known only to the sunlight and their innocent feelings.
————————
Naruto was eagerly preparing to turn around and discuss with his "number one fangirl," Hinata, what "earth-shattering" qualities he possessed that attracted her, and perhaps satisfy a little bit of his vanity, but before he could even utter a word—
"Ahem!Quiet!"
Iruka-sensei's familiar and authoritative voice rang out at the classroom door, like a life-saving signal flare, instantly rescuing Hinata who was about to evaporate on the spot due to shyness!
Iruka-sensei strode up to the podium, his gaze sweeping over the entire class.The classroom, which had been somewhat noisy due to the dispute over Sasuke's seat, immediately fell silent.
The girls, like startled birds, quickly scattered from Sasuke's seat and found their own places to sit.
Among them, Sakura Haruno, who was the fastest, took advantage of being closest to Sasuke and quickly sat down in the empty seat next to him!
"Sakura!You—!"
Being a step too late, Ino Yamanaka could only sit down next to Sakura in a huff, and gritted her teeth as Sakura glanced back at her smugly, she threatened in a low voice, "You just wait and see!"
"Alright, students!"
Iruka cleared his throat and announced, "Next, we will announce the class assignments for this year's graduates!Classes will be divided into groups of three, each led and guided by an experienced Jonin instructor!"
"A group of three?"
Naruto's eyes lit up instantly!
The ideal partner immediately popped into his mind—of course, it was the little Luffy and little Ichigo in his consciousness space!
Hehehe!
Naruto smugly fantasized, 'An invincible squad!Or perhaps we should call it the great Fifth Hokage and his elite bodyguard!I've even come up with the formation!'
He could almost see himself wearing a dashing Hokage robe, standing majestically in the middle, striking a one-legged pose!
On the left is Luffy kneeling on one knee, his hands exaggeratedly pointing to the sky.
On the right is Ichigo, also kneeling on one knee, holding his cool Zanpakuto, his sharp eyes gazing into the distance!
Within the consciousness space: Little Luffy and Little Naruto have already enthusiastically posed according to their plan.
"Hehehe!Naruto, boss!Stand in the middle!"
Little Luffy is kneeling on one knee, with his hands pointing to the sky, grinning from ear to ear.
"Hey!Idiot!The light should come from this side to look cool!"
Naruto also struck a pose and gave instructions.
"."
Little One crossed his arms and looked at the two clowns speechlessly, as if three black lines were hanging down his forehead.
I stood far away from them, turning my head away because I couldn't bear to look at them.
"Hey!Ichigo!Get in position already!What are you waiting for?"
Naruto's mental entity urged.
"."
Ichigo's lips twitched; he could no longer bear it!
Whoosh!
He flashed and instantly appeared behind the two guys posing!
Bang!Bang!
Two merciless slaps landed hard on the heads of Luffy and Naruto's mental forms!
"Idiot!What kind of stupid pose is that!Stop it!"
Ichigo roared, and the powerful impact instantly sent the two mischievous mental entities tumbling about, almost dissipating.
"Ouch!"
In reality, Naruto, who was holding his face in one hand and laughing foolishly in his fantasy of "the Fifth Hokage and the Guard," suddenly clutched his head and cried out in pain, as if he could feel the pain himself.
On the podium, Iruka knew without even looking that it was Naruto as soon as he heard the noise in the classroom.
Just as he was about to grab a piece of chalk and throw it at Naruto, who was up to his usual antics, as a warning, he instinctively reached for the teacher's desk—only to find nothing there!
The chalk box on the teacher's desk.But it was completely empty!
Iruka was taken aback, then realized with a wry smile, "It's that little rascal Naruto again!He must have secretly hidden the chalk yesterday or this morning!"
He looked at Naruto, who was clutching his head and grimacing, and sighed helplessly: 'When will this guy ever really grow up.'
Just then, Iruka's gaze fell on the next group of names on the list.
He took a deep breath, deciding to use his voice to quell the unruly boy, and suddenly raised it: "Class Seven!—"
"Naruto Uzumaki!"
This name immediately drew all of Naruto's attention like a magnet!
Ignoring the phantom pain in his head, he immediately sat up straight, pricked up his ears, and his heart pounded.
"Sakura Haruno!"
"yeah--!"
Naruto sprang up from his seat instantly, pumping his fist excitedly!The fantasy that Ichigo had shattered earlier returned like lightning.
