#14 - Chapter 14 Naruto: I hate pink-haired nymphomaniacs
Sakura didn't expect to be the first one called.
“My name is Haruno Sakura, what I like is... rather than what I like, it's more like who I like......”
“And my interests... my future dream is......”
As Sakura spoke, she kept looking at Sasuke, as if afraid others wouldn't know that her life's pursuit was only Sasuke.
Kakashi, speechless, interjected, "And then? What do you hate?"
“Naruto!” Sakura's expression suddenly turned cold.
Sweat dripped from Kakashi's forehead. “Okay, next.”
Naruto glanced at Sasuke, and seeing that he didn't seem to want to speak first, he said, “My name is Uzumaki Naruto, what I like is... I don't even know if I like it, but if I had to say what I'm interested in right now, it would be money.”
“As for dreams, I haven't really thought about it yet... maybe to earn a lot of money and improve my life, maybe to become the strongest ninja, maybe to become Hokage, who knows?”
“As for what I hate... I hate fangirls.”
“Pink-haired fangirls!”
As if worried that Sakura wouldn't understand his implication, Naruto emphasized it.
“What did you say, Naruto!”
Sakura's face turned red with anger after understanding Naruto's implication.
One hand clenched into a fist, as if she was about to punch him.
However, Naruto didn't care at all, and even glanced at her indifferently, “Oh, to add, I also hate short-tempered women.”
“Damn it, Naruto!”
Sakura couldn't bear it any longer and was about to punch Naruto, but Kakashi interrupted her.
“Alright, last one!”
Sasuke, completely unaffected by Naruto and Sakura, rested his hands on his chin and said in a deep voice, “My name is Uchiha Sasuke, I hate a lot of things, but I don't like anything.”
“Also, I don't want to just talk about dreams, I have ambition!”
“I will rebuild the Uchiha clan, and then I will definitely kill a certain man with my own hands!”
The scene fell silent for a moment because of Sasuke's answer.
Sakura's expression was stunned, and she even briefly forgot about Naruto making her angry.
But in just a second, she was immersed in Sasuke's handsome profile again.
Naruto sat on the steps, propping his face with one hand, wondering if he should beat Sakura up.
Kakashi, on the other hand, felt a little heavy-hearted, troubled by the three members of Team 7.
“Okay, all three of you have rich personalities, very interesting!”
Kakashi tilted his head and said, “Then let's start the mission from tomorrow!”
“Mission? What mission?” Sakura asked Kakashi.
Kakashi crossed his arms. “Survival exercise!”
“Survival exercise? Aren't we supposed to do missions? We've done many exercises at school!” Sakura asked, confused and dissatisfied.
“This is no ordinary exercise...”
Kakashi suddenly smiled as he looked at the three of them.
“What's so funny, Kakashi-sensei?” Sakura muttered.
“Because I'm afraid you'll be scared after I tell you the content of the exercise.”
Kakashi covered half of his face with his hand and said in a deep voice, “Out of the 27 graduates, only nine are recognized as ninjas, and the other 18 will be sent back to school, which means this is a super difficult trial with an elimination rate of over 66%!”
“How could this be!”
Sakura looked resentful. “If that's the case, what's the point of our graduation exam?”
“That's just to select people who are qualified to become genin, not an assessment to become a ninja.”
Kakashi smiled with narrowed eyes, “Otherwise, don't you think it would be too easy to become a ninja?”
“Why is it like this~”
Sakura looked dejected and turned her head to the side, finding Sasuke also a little nervous, his tightly clasped hands clenched even tighter.
Then she looked at Naruto.
‘He's a dead last, but he's pretending to be completely indifferent, how annoying! It's good to eliminate you tomorrow's exam and replace you with someone else... as long as the third person isn't Ino or Naruto!’
Sakura thought, pursing her lips with a look of disdain on her face.
Kakashi also noticed Naruto's indifference.
‘Is he confident because he defeated Ebisu?’
He was very surprised when the Third Hokage told him about this yesterday.
Although Ebisu is only a Special Jonin, he is a ninja from the same class as him, an elite ninja who has gone through many missions and survived life and death!
But even so, Ebisu lost to Naruto!
It is said that he defeated Ebisu with just one move!
‘It seems I need to be more serious about tomorrow's exercise.’
Kakashi thought, turned his back, and said to the three, “I will judge whether you pass tomorrow at the training ground. Remember to bring a set of ninja tools and meet at 5 a.m. tomorrow!”
“Oh right, don't eat breakfast, you'll throw up~”
“Well... dismissed!”
Kakashi left after speaking.
Sakura wanted to go home with Sasuke, but Sasuke refused.
Then Sasuke left the spot with a Body Flicker Technique, leaving only Naruto in place!
Seeing Naruto, Sakura's anger flared up.
“Naruto!!!”
The vanished Sasuke and what Naruto had said about hating her earlier accumulated and caused Sakura to explode again.
“What is it?”
Naruto looked at Sakura with dead fish eyes, a trace of impatience flashing across his face.
To be honest, he really hates Sakura!
“What kind of look is that?”
Sakura clenched her fists and sneered, “About the classroom incident and what you said earlier, shouldn't you explain it to me?”
“Explain? Explain what?”
Naruto made a mocking expression on his face. “Is it any of your business how I graduated? Was I wrong to say it's none of your business?”
“You!”
“Don't be anxious, I haven't finished yet!”
Naruto continued, “As for what I said earlier, what's wrong with me hating fangirls and violent women? Did I hit the mark, so you broke down?”
“Naruto!!!”
Sakura finally couldn't bear it and punched Naruto in the face.
However, her fist was caught by Naruto with one hand.
“Is that all the strength you have? Didn't eat?” Naruto sneered.
“You!”
Sakura tried hard to pull her hand out, but she couldn't get it out no matter what.
Seeing her struggling so hard, Naruto loosened his hand, causing Sakura to fling herself away and fall to the ground.
“Na... Naruto, you!”
Sakura sat on the ground, feeling the pain in her hand, and looked at Naruto, who was looking down at her, and suddenly felt fear in her heart.
“Don't come over...”
“Don't worry, I won't go over.”
Naruto looked at Sakura and said indifferently, “You're not that likeable yet, I can't wait to stay away from you.”
Sakura's face was full of grievance upon hearing these words, and tears hung in the corners of her eyes.
She had never been hated like this by anyone since she was a child!
Even those who laughed at her wide forehead when she was a child were not as indifferent as Naruto.
She could feel that Naruto genuinely hated her from the bottom of his heart.
But... why?
I haven't done anything, and I'm so beautiful!
Didn't he used to like me?
He clearly liked me, so why does he hate me now?
