Konoha, the third training ground.

Thunder and go.

A blue electric current struck the stake at the training ground from the assistant

After practicing ninja, Sasuke was about to rest when he saw that it was not too early, but suddenly a noisy voice came from behind him.

"Sass give."

Looking back at Naruto who appeared out of nowhere, Sasuke felt a stomachache.

"What's the matter?"

"What's the matter, can't I come to you if it's okay?"

Naruto squinted his eyes with an unhappy look.

"If it's okay, I'll go back and rest, after all, I've been practicing all day, and I'm quite tired."

With that, Sasuke prepared to get up and leave.

"Wait, today is Sakura's birthday, and it's really annoying that I have to come to you after hearing that you're here."

It seems that Naruto wasn't very happy with the fact that he had him come to Sasuke.

"Let's go."

“？”

Naruto didn't react for a moment, and looked at Sasuke with a puzzled expression.

When Naruto understood what Sasuke meant, he looked at Sasuke with a suspicious face.

"I said Sasuke, do you like Sakura, so positive?"

Subsequently, Naruto's tone became very unpolite.

"Die, I won't..."

Sasuke directly covered Naruto's mouth.

"You think too much, all I pursue is power, but how can I be absent from my friend's birthday?"

The pale defense couldn't fool Naruto, but just as the two were fighting, Kakashi suddenly appeared.

"Sasuke, I have a mission tomorrow, so I'll prepare tonight."

Kakashi looked at Sasuke and Naruto with a strange expression, and he couldn't help but think of something very philosophical after being immersed in intimacy heaven all year round.

"I see, Kakashi-sensei, but what kind of eyes do you have?"

Sasuke, who felt a little embarrassed, directly shook Naruto away.

"Kakashi? Sasuke, who is this guy? ”

Naruto's tone of voice was very unfavorable to passers-by, but it was nothing to Kakashi, who let this be his own teacher's son?

"Kakashi-sensei is my leader Shinobi."

"That's right, but it seems that Sasuke has other things to do, so I won't bother for now."

After Sasuke's brief introduction, Kakashi left.

Sakura's birthday party was arranged at Konoha's barbecue restaurant.

And when Naruto arrived with Sasuke, Sakura was blowing out the candles.

"Sasuke-kun."

Seeing Sasuke arrive, Sakura's face suddenly filled with a smile.

"Alright, let's blow out the candles first."

After Ino's reminder, Sakura lowered her head and blew out the candle.

"I hope..."

After burying the wish in the bottom of my heart, the birthday party continues.

There weren't many people who came, and they were all members of Sasuke's class.

"Hey, Sasuke, I heard that you graduated early, how is your life as a ninja?"

After Ya said this, the other friends also looked at it curiously.

"It's okay."

Sasuke didn't elaborate, just casually perfunctory, after all, they were still in school, they were still too far away from blood and fighting.

"You're really unhappy, but you look like you've just finished training?"

As soon as Ya said this, everyone realized that Sasuke's body was all traces left by training.

"yes."

Hearing Sasuke's words, the friends were a little amazed.

"What a hard work. If it were me, it wouldn't be good. ”

Shikamaru's words were unanimously approved by the others, after all, Shikamaru was notoriously lazy.

Sasuke smiled slightly and didn't say much, just picked up the grilled meat slices and put them in his mouth.

"Damn, the three generations of old men didn't let me graduate early, what do you say I'm not capable enough, really, how am I worse than this guy?"

Naruto's brazenness made everyone speechless, and even Hinata, who had been staring at Naruto, couldn't open his eyes and say nonsense.

"After all, Naruto-kun, you haven't won against Sasuke-kun once."

"Ah, damn it, even Hinata..."

Naruto, who was sad, had no choice but to weep while cooking.

Sakura, who was sitting in front of the cake, rarely did not come up to Sasuke to talk, but just smiled and watched all this in front of her.

The friendship of the teenagers is not mixed with anything, so it always seems more valuable.

When the party was over, the friends dispersed one by one.

"Naruto."

Just as Hinata was about to leave, Sakura suddenly stopped Naruto.

"What?"

"Hinata is alone, it's so late, you go and send her home."

"But..."

Naruto, who originally wanted to refuse, had no choice but to agree when he saw the lonely Hinata.

When Sasuke was the only one left, Sakura lowered her head and said.

"Sasuke-kun, can you take me home?"

"Are you afraid of the dark?"

"No, I just..."

"Let's go."

So, Sasuke walked ahead.

Sakura pursed her lips and chuckled, and immediately jumped up and down.

After returning Sakura, Sasuke walked home alone.

"Why don't you stay with your friends and choose to graduate early?"

Passing around a corner, Kakashi appeared out of nowhere.

"Has Kakashi-sensei been following me?"

"Well, don't mind, after all, it's my disciple, so I still have to know more."

Kakashi's tone was more languid than it had been some time ago.

"Because I need strength, and staying with them can't meet that need."

This is a lie.

Sasuke, who is practicing Yin Retreat, will continue to grow in strength no matter where he is, and it is nothing more than fast or slow.

And the real reason why Sasuke chose to graduate early was that he was afraid that he would indulge in a peaceful daily life.

"Strength? That's to be expected. ”

Then, with his back against the wall, Kakashi got up and left.

"By the way, don't forget tomorrow's mission."

After Kakashi left, Sasuke took a deep breath and continued on his way.

Early the next morning.

When Sasuke arrived at the Konoha Gate, he found that Kakashi was a rare person who wasn't late.

"It's coming, let's go."

"Wait? What about the principal? ”

After hearing Kakashi's words, Sasuke looked around strangely.

"The client is in the Daimyo's Mansion, so we need to go there immediately."

After hearing Sasuke's question, Kakashi patiently explained.

So, the master and apprentice began to go non-stop to the capital of the Fire Country, the Daimyo's Mansion.

After arriving in the national capital, Sasuke found that the tertiary industry here was much more developed than Konoha.

"Okay, now that we're here, I'll start introducing the content of the mission."

This time it's a C-level mission, and the content is very simple, which is to act as a guard for the daimyo's daughter.

"Because the princess is going to play in Miyoshi Town, why don't you send someone to Konoha to issue a commissioned mission?"

"Well, it's just a vacation, and generally speaking, this kind of mission won't be dangerous."

Kakashi looked relaxed, after all, the task was simple and there was money to take, how comfortable it was.

"Also, shall we go see the princess now?"

Sasuke, who was walking on the street, looked around, after all, such a bustling city was one of the best in the ninja world.

"That's right, let's go."
