Chapter 47 How Could He Not Come When We Made a Promise?
Konoha School.
Naruto lay listlessly on his desk.
He had a series of dreams last night, all of which were about how he had been bullied in the past, so naturally he didn't sleep well.
Moreover, he felt very heavy, which was completely different from usual.
He was really looking forward to competing in the high jump with Sasuke today.
However, Sasuke didn't come to class.
Naruto was even more dispirited.
As Iruka explained some geographical knowledge from the audience, Naruto felt drowsy.
A swishing sound, the sound of a door being pulled open.
"Sasuke!"
"Hey! It's Sasuke!"
Naruto snapped back to reality amidst the shouts of several girls in his class.
It turned out that Sasuke had come in.
"Teacher Iruka, I'm here for class."
Iruka glanced at the figures in the corridor and said nothing more: "Okay, go sit down."
Sasuke walked over to Naruto and plopped down on his seat.
Naruto said somewhat impatiently, "Sasuke, where did you go? I thought you weren't coming."
Sasuke looked at Naruto and smiled, "I made an appointment with you yesterday, how could I not come?"
Naruto was stunned for a moment, his heart skipped a beat.
This was the first time someone had ever cared about him. The first time, the first time someone had ever cared about him so much.
Naruto is a very emotional person, and just this one sentence made his eyes red.
He quickly turned his head away: "After class, I'll show you what I'm capable of."
"Uh-huh……"
Sasuke unconsciously responded with two hums.
He didn't realize he had moved Naruto. After saying those words, he looked out into the corridor.
You can vaguely see Qianyao's shadow, as well as the people guarding Qianyao.
"Qianyao, what brings you here again?"
When Chiyo led Sasuke to the vicinity of the school.
The Anbu immediately reported this to Jiraiya, who had no choice but to come back himself.
He had originally planned to gather some materials, but now that he was forced to come and guard Qianyao, his expression was naturally unpleasant.
Qianyao yawned listlessly:
"Jiraiya, what are you saying? It's perfectly reasonable for our young clan leader to be here as a bodyguard when he comes to school."
"Instead of keeping an eye on me, you might as well kill Danzo sooner rather than later."
Jiraiya snorted coldly: "Danzo was the Hokage's assistant, not someone you can judge with just a few words."
Chiyo looked at Jiraiya with a half-smile:
"I think it would be better for you if Danzo died sooner."
He remembered that Danzo was the main culprit who killed Yahiko.
There will probably be quite a few people coming to watch the confrontation between Konoha and the Uchiha clan.
The Akatsuki organization is likely to join in the fun, and if Konan shows up, things will get interesting.
Jiraiya was naturally unaware of this detail and didn't take it seriously.
However, these two days are crucial. Those who are fast on foot outside are probably already close to Konoha.
By tomorrow, even the ninjas from the Land of Lightning will arrive.
Jiraiya suspected that Chiyo intended to forcibly control Naruto right now!
But his sending Sasuke here was just an excuse.
He had to keep a close eye on Chiyo, as long as the Third Hokage's men arrived tonight.
The situation will then truly stabilize.
Chiyo knew that Jiraiya was also nervous, but he did it on purpose.
After all, it would be truly abnormal for the Uchiha not to act like they're up to something.
Although he didn't know when the Third Hokage's men would appear, it would be some time later.
Konoha is a big stage; if you want to place a bounty, come and join us.
After all, this bounty was issued by Itachi Uchiha, and although it was anonymous, everyone knows what's going on.
Although the Uchiha clan nominally still has a security force, there are only a few teams left, and they are mostly responsible for guarding the streets where their businesses operate.
They've really become a security team.
The Konoha invasion had nothing to do with the Uchiha clan.
They have to defend themselves.
Qianyao was standing in the corridor just like yesterday.
For the outdoor lessons that followed, we stood not far from Sasuke.
Even if Sasuke hadn't awakened his Sharingan, Naruto still couldn't compare to him.
Their high jump competition naturally ended in Sasuke's victory.
"I didn't perform well today!"
"Next time, I'll beat you next time!"
Naruto remained stubborn as always, but this time Sasuke did not refute what Naruto said.
Instead, he suddenly said, "I won't be coming to school next week."
Naruto paused for a moment, then asked, "Sasuke, is there something you need?"
Sasuke shook his head: "We probably won't see each other for a long time."
Naruto's expression stiffened, after all, Sasuke had never discriminated against him and was always willing to play with him.
But Naruto quickly composed himself: "It's okay! We'll see each other again sometime!"
Thinking about the responsibilities I bear, and the fact that I have already opened my eyes to the world.
Sasuke turned his head coolly: "I'm different from you guys now."
Seeing Sasuke's attitude, Naruto muttered, "Arrogant Sasuke!"
The time at the ninja academy ended amidst the noisy chatter of a bunch of brats.
Jiraiya stared at Chiyo all afternoon until his eyes were sore, but Chiyo did nothing, making Jiraiya's efforts go to waste.
Upon arriving at the school gate, Qianyao scooped Sasuke up and placed him behind his neck.
Let Sasuke ride away on him.
Sasuke claims to be the son of the powerful Uchiha clan, but he is still only seven years old.
Fugaku had never accompanied him like this before, and Itachi had only ever carried him on his back.
Although Chiyo did it to make yesterday's actions less abrupt, Sasuke was secretly a little excited.
"Naruto! I'm leaving!"
Sasuke looked somewhat excited; he hadn't boasted about opening his Sharingan today.
This way, I can exchange secrets with Senior Qianyao again.
Of course, Chiyo's act of letting him ride on his neck also made up for this gap in Sasuke's childhood.
When Naruto heard Sasuke say goodbye, he waved his arm vigorously, shouting, "Goodbye, Sasuke!"
He lowered his arm only after Sasuke had walked quite a distance.
Naruto's smile faded, and he walked somewhat forlornly to the swing in the corner.
Watching those children with parents being picked up by their parents one by one.
I'll have to wait a while before I can go back.
Jiraiya, who was not far away, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Chiyo had failed today.
He didn't care at all when he saw Naruto waiting at that swing again.
From Jiraiya's perspective, Naruto had no problems.
Seeing that the Anbu were protecting Naruto, he left reassured.
Jiraiya had overheard Sasuke and Naruto's conversation and knew that Sasuke wouldn't be coming tomorrow.
This might indicate that the Uchiha clan will take some action.
He immediately went to discuss it with the Third Hokage.
