Chapter 134 Iruka: Damn it, how did my class get led astray like this?
The exam is over. Naruto successfully passed the exam thanks to his excellent essay and superb ninjutsu skills, and with Iruka's authorization, he was awarded the title of best graduate.
Of course, this title is awarded to the top 10% of students, and it is no less difficult to obtain than the title of "Three Good Student".
(ಥ_ಥ)
"So, has everyone passed?"
Naruto rested his chin on his hand, looking at everyone in the classroom where he was about to say goodbye.
"Woof woof!"
Akamaru perched on Kiba's head and let out a happy cry. It was clear that Akamaru was very excited after being carried around by Kiba all day.
Akamaru: Hmm, we finally passed the exam. We were really amazing.
Kiba patted Akamaru's fluffy head and nodded.
"With our skill levels, we shouldn't be unable to pass the assessment, right?"
Shikamaru shrugged, his tone tinged with a rare smugness.
Sasuke nodded, leaning against the wall.
Although he was not as strong as Naruto, he was far stronger than the graduates of other years.
"So what are we waiting here for?"
Naruto lay on the table, looking at Hinata's profile, and said with a slightly numb expression.
He wanted to go home and cultivate himself, instead of waiting here like an idiot.
"Let's wait until Iruka-sensei sends us headbands."
Shikamaru answered lazily.
"Hey, how about we play cards?"
Naruto tilted his head and came up with a good idea.
Hinata looked at Naruto and put her index finger in her mouth.
If you're playing cards, is it better to look at your cards or not?
This is such a dilemma.
Sasuke turned his head away.
"boring."
"Huh?"
Naruto looked at Sasuke, who had turned his back, with great surprise in his eyes.
Then, he called on a few others, and they began a tense and exciting game of Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game).
Ten minutes later.
Naruto glanced at Sasuke, who was secretly watching his card game, and asked a question quietly.
"Hey, Sasuke, do you want to come over?"
Sasuke, despite having a slight urge to play cards, had previously stated that he was bored.
The Uchiha clan is known for its integrity; how could they go back on their word?
"If you beg me, I might reluctantly play a few rounds with you."
...
Naruto's lips twitched. Sasuke's personality was really something, how could he be so...tsundere?
"Well... my esteemed little brother Sasuke, your dear older brother begs you to play a thrilling game of Dou Dizhu with me.
Would you be so kind as to grant my request?"
Although Naruto felt awkward, Sasuke quite enjoyed it.
Sasuke was very dissatisfied with how Naruto explained the relationship between the older and younger brothers in his words.
That's fine too.
"Oh well."
Sasuke quickly turned around, and Karin considerately gave up her seat for him.
o(´^｀)o Sasuke sat down with his head held high.
And when he picked up the cards, his eyes turned into (✪ω✪).
Others have weaker sensory abilities and find it difficult to perceive emotions, but Karin, Naruto, and Hinata can all sense Sasuke's joyful mood.
puff.
Naruto covered his mouth with his hand.
She's so easy to coax.
Hashirama looked at Sasuke, who had become arrogant, and thought about Izuna in his belly.
Wow, it feels like an old acquaintance is being cute.
I wonder what Madara would think if he saw this.
Madara: Even Izuna wasn't this fun back then.
"Sorry, everyone, you must have been waiting for a long time."
An hour later, Iruka returned carrying a box containing the students' headbands.
The final statistical task was quite large; it took several teachers more than an hour to process it together.
Therefore, Iruka was certain that the little devils in his class were eagerly waiting.
Well, there's nothing I can do but let your wise and mighty teacher Iruka hand over this sacred headband to you.
I waited a long time for the day I finally received my headband.
I was filled with excitement and joy when I received the headband; I was now a Konoha ninja.
To keep his students from waiting too long, Iruka deliberately sped up the processing, his heart pounding with excitement.
The moment he pushed open the door, Iruka seemed to hear Sasuke's voice.
It looks like... a royal flush?
Could I have misheard? How could Sasuke, such a cool and aloof kid, make such a sound?
However, when Iruka came in, he saw a strange scene.
Sasuke's originally aloof and pale face was now flushed with blood, making him look extremely agitated.
Sasuke (in a state of frenzied gambling!)
Contrary to Iruka's expectations, the students in the class seemed to be huddled together in small groups, holding playing cards.
? ? ?
Confusion, sudden realization, anger, helplessness.
Iruka's condition is roughly like this.
After all, it does take a long time. I didn't have the means back then. Now, students use playing cards to pass the time, which doesn't violate any rules.
"Ahem. Class, stop it, we're about to hand out headbands."
Iruka walked up to the podium, slammed his hand on the table, and drew everyone's attention to him.
"Oh! Great!"
Naruto cheered, while silently putting down the bad cards in his hand.
Sasuke: ?
"Let's wrap this up, we're about to collect our headbands."
Naruto pointed to Iruka-sensei, who was smiling on the stage, and said to Sasuke, who had a question mark on his face.
No, under normal circumstances, I would accept what you said.
However, you should know that I just played the King and wanted to end my losing streak.
You're telling me you're not going to fight anymore?
"How exactly did Naruto come to be like this?"
Kushina and Hashirama stood together, stroking their chins, deep in thought about this profound question.
Minato and Kurama both twitched their lips.
"Is it possible that you two are the ones who led this astray?"
Hmm, no, hehe.
How can a person be so evil?
Sasuke was very unwilling, but what could he do when he had said it was boring before, and now Iruka-sensei was here again?
Iruka inexplicably felt a pair of eyes filled with hatred.
(ಥ_ಥ)
Ah, Iruka seems to have guessed something.
I'm sorry, Sasuke, it was my fault...
Sigh, I never expected that Sasuke, who is always so aloof, would have such a face.
As expected of the biggest workhorse of this year... Naruto, as hardworking as an ox and as agile as a horse!
It's amazing how she managed to lead so many students astray.
Iruka's lips twitched as he looked at the students below who were reluctantly putting away their cards.
Although the teachers occasionally played cards, that was something the teachers did.
You students, oh wait, it seems you've graduated.
Ugh, no matter what, I'm so angry.
Iruka slapped the table again, and the students below shuddered, repeating the action ingrained in their genes.
He crossed his arms and looked up at Iruka.
Yes, that's more like it.
