Chapter 17: A former best friend with a tacit understanding

"Hurry up, Xiao Qingzi, today is the briefing session for the graduates." Mom shouted upstairs in the morning.

"I know mom!"

A muffled sound came from Haruko's room in the morning.

After giving the morning reminder, the mother walked over to Uchiha Sasuke who was ready to go out, and leaned over slightly to help him straighten his collar.

"Our baby Sasuke is so handsome today! I wonder how many little girls he will charm~"

"...Thank you, auntie."

Uchiha Sasuke was a little shy and wanted to turn his head away awkwardly, but he felt it was impolite and controlled the impulse.

Even though Uchiha Sasuke has lived in the Zao family for so long, he still can't get used to their family's excessive praise. But the idiot Naruto accepted it very quickly.

"Wow, our little Haruko has finally become a capable ninja. Daddy is so pleased!"

In the morning, the father wiped his tears with one hand and held the camera with the other, ready to take pictures of "Xiao Qingzi attending the graduation briefing for the first time."

By the way, baby Sasuke, who was attending the first graduation briefing session, was surrounded by his parents in the morning and took many photos of him after he went downstairs.

Uchiha black line: ...

"Dad...this is exaggerating." Haruko walked out of the room in the morning and looked at them helplessly.

After all, she was graduating, so she even wore a new outfit that matched the purple hairpin.

Click!Click!

The sounds of taking photos continued. I don't know when, in the morning, my mother picked up her camera and started taking pictures with my father on the left and right.

"Little Haruko in a cheongsam is so cute!"

"Wow, little Haruko has grown into a beautiful young lady now..."

“……”Forget it, let’s go out quickly.

In the morning, Haruko quickly took Uchiha Sasuke's hand, said hello to her parents, and left home.

"This suit looks great on you."

"Ok?"

It was not until the morning that Haruko realized that Uchiha Sasuke was praising her. It was probably because she saw her parents surrounding her that Uchiha Sasuke chose to speak after they went out.

I don't know since when, Sasuke rarely feels awkward around me...

In the morning, Haruko couldn't help but reveal a gratified smile of an old mother, "Sasuke looks super handsome today too!"

Uchiha Sasuke noticed that her expression was inexplicably strange:...Forget it, as long as she is happy.

"Haru-ko-!"

Uzumaki Naruto's cheerful voice could be heard from a distance.

Uzumaki Naruto came running over. Even though he was a little out of breath, he still wanted to give a compliment right away: "Haruko, you are so beautiful today!"

Morning Haruko smiled at him and took a sandwich out of the bag, "Thank you Naruto! Today's breakfast is a sandwich, so please eat it quickly."

"Great! Today it's sandwiches!" Uzumaki Naruto excitedly raised the sandwich she handed over, and then saw Uchiha Sasuke standing next to him, and added, "Sasuke is dressed like a decent person today too!"

"...If you can't describe it, don't describe it." Uchiha Sasuke rejected his strange compliment and sneered.

"Hahaha, let's go quickly." Haruko Zao directly pulled one person in each hand and headed towards the school.

While walking on the road, Haruko saw Yamanaka Ino and Haruno Sakura talking to each other from afar, so she went up to say hello.

"Morning Ino, and Sakura!"

"Good morning Haruko! And Sa...Sasuke!"

Haruno Sakura, who was originally competing secretly with Yamanaka Ino, quickly tidied up her clothes for the day.

Although Yamanaka Ino was not as nervous as she was, she also touched her hair unconsciously, "Sasuke and Haruko have changed into new clothes, you look so good today!"

I noticed that they had changed their clothes, but Haruno Sakura, you were still there saying good morning, haha.

"Haruko and I are wearing the same cheongsam! We are so in sync with each other!" Haruno Sakura was not to be outdone.

So what? Haruko chose to wear the same thing as me!

The ignored Uzumaki Naruto: ...Can you really not see me?

"You two have such a good relationship, it's really enviable!" Haruko chose to close her eyes in the morning and treat everyone equally.

"Huh? Who has a good relationship with her!" x2

Morning Haruko was a little amused, "You two are the ones who are so in tune with each other!"

"She and I have such a tacit understanding!" x2

"Don't imitate me!" x2

"You're still learning!" x2

The smell of gunpowder had already begun to fill the air between Yamanaka Ino and Haruno Sakura, so of course Haruko's choice in the morning was... to quickly flee the battlefield.

"Okay, okay! Let's go to the briefing session quickly, otherwise it will be too late!" Haruko Asako interrupted them.

"!!!"

They didn't expect to be able to join them. Yamanaka Ino and Haruno Sakura saw the determination in each other's eyes and immediately began to compete for the position on Uchiha Sasuke's left.

"Broad forehead, the person next to Sasuke should be me!"

"Inobo, did you hit your head? Didn't you see I was here first?"

The chemistry between the former besties was once again on full display.

Come to the classroom.

"Hey, why are you here too? Today is a briefing session for graduates only."

Nara Shikamaru saw Uzumaki Naruto among the crowd, especially with Hayama Haruko still holding his hand, and spoke with what seemed like a kind reminder.

"Hehe!" Uzumaki Naruto excitedly ran to his seat, pointing at the Konoha forehead protector on his head to show off, "Did you see that? From today on, I am also a ninja who can stand on my own!"

Morning Haruko also walked over to them with a smile and explained to Nara Shikamaru: "Naruto took the exam again and passed it successfully!"

Thinking about how he was tricked into stealing forbidden techniques, and how he learned the shadow clone at a critical moment, and almost caused the death of teacher Iruka Umino... In order not to worry Haruko Hayama, Uzumaki Naruto silently found an excuse.

How should I put it...Although I don't want to make Haruko worry, it is really too weird to lie to her!

Uzumaki Naruto was determined that there would never be a second time for him to lie to Haruko.

"Sasuke can I sit next to you?"

While they were chatting, Uchiha Sasuke had already found a seat by the window, and Haruno Sakura quickly walked to the table.

"I say! Sakura, the seat next to Sasuke is mine!" Yamanaka Ino was angry that she was a step late, and hurried over.

Haruno Yingsi said confidently: "First come, first served, right?"

Another girl came over and interrupted: "It's me!"

"I want to sit next to Sasuke!"

"..."

Watching many girls vying for a position next to Uchiha Sasuke, Haruko Asahi glanced covertly at Uzumaki Naruto who was still happy about becoming a ninja.

They are both the protagonists, so why is this little golden retriever not favored?

"As expected of Sasuke." Haruko sighed in the morning. This is probably the trouble of a high-class girl.

Just when Haruko was about to sit next to Nara Shikamaru in the morning, Uchiha Sasuke suddenly looked at her.

"Haruko, sit here."

"Me?" Haruko Asama asked awkwardly, pointing at herself as she faced countless sudden gazes.

"Yeah." Uchiha Sasuke's answer was still concise and clear.

"Hahaha……"

In the morning, Haruko could only laugh it off and walked through the crowd of girls with some difficulty to sit next to Uchiha Sasuke, and also pulled Uzumaki Naruto along.

I can't be the only one who is embarrassed! Haruko cried silently in the morning.

"Yeah! I can sit with Haruko!" Uzumaki Naruto exuded a happy smile.
