Naruto Dream Fulfillment Master

impossible.

He was full of grievances, but Sakura was unwilling to say anything, and just glared at him with eyes that looked at him like he was trash.

Naruto felt uneasy under Naruto's gaze and was about to press for details when he heard another set of footsteps approaching from not far away.

Upon hearing this, Sakura immediately dropped her expression of disgust, put on a smiling face, and waved behind Naruto: "Good morning, Sasuke!"

Upon hearing this, Naruto turned his head and saw that, sure enough, Sasuke Uchiha's sullen face was slowly approaching.

For some reason, Sasuke had two noticeable dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept well all night.

Sakura quickly went to Sasuke's side and asked him with concern, "Sasuke, are you alright? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

The concern in his voice was almost overflowing.

Naruto felt very uncomfortable seeing this.

He followed up angrily, glancing at Sasuke's dark circles and saying gloatingly, "Hey, Sasuke, what's wrong with you? Haha, did you have a nightmare about being defeated by me last night and can't sleep?"

Sasuke frowned upon hearing this, then scoffed dismissively, "Idiot!"

Unlike some people who are obsessed with false dreams, I resisted the temptation last night and focused on my cultivation.

……

Behind the shadow of a wall not far from the training ground, a frail figure was peeking out from there.

Hinata's slender fingers gripped the corner of the wall tightly, her cheeks flushed, and she looked extremely nervous.

No, no... I'm so shy!

She secretly watched Naruto in the arena, feeling the vivid dream fragments from last night that made her blush and her heart race constantly replaying in her mind.

Although the crazy things she did in her dream were done by "herself in the picture," she was still the person in question. Thinking back on it now, Hinata wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

Originally, she mustered up the courage to come here today because she wanted to take advantage of the fact that there were fewer people in the morning to call Sakura out alone and ask her some questions.

But before she could even show herself, Naruto suddenly appeared!

Hinata dared not show herself now and could only hide behind the wall to peek.

Just as Hinata was panicking and at a loss, a familiar, childish voice suddenly rang out behind her: "Hinata-neechan, you're peeking at Naruto-nii again~"

"what!"

Hinata was caught off guard by having her secret exposed. Her small body trembled violently, and she turned around in a panic. She saw that her younger sister Hanabi was standing behind her at some point, looking at her with a mischievous smile.

"H-Hanabi?"

Hinata blushed instantly, stammering as she denied, "I...I didn't peek! Don't talk nonsense!"

Hanabi chuckled, "Still saying you don't? Your face's all red!"

"I--"

Hinata was both embarrassed and anxious, and for a moment she couldn't say anything to refute it. She could only grab her troublesome little sister and run away in a panic.

"No, don't talk nonsense! Come home with me right now!"

The two sisters ran off one after the other.

It wasn't until Hinata returned to the Hyuga residence and buried herself in the covers that her wildly beating heart finally calmed down.

"Phew... Fireworks are really something..."

Hinata huddled under the covers, only her anxious eyes showing.

The scene from the training ground flashed through her mind: Sakura and Naruto standing side by side.

Thinking of this, Hinata felt a pang of sadness, and... a slight sense of loss.

She laughed self-deprecatingly and reached out to touch her burning cheeks.

Hinata wouldn't have believed her dream last night if she hadn't experienced it herself.

Lost in thought, she suddenly remembered the mysterious "dream theater".

If we can still go there tonight, let's ask Sakura and Kakashi-sensei again...

Chapter 32 Erzhuzi, Don't Make Things Too Sure

"Hey everyone, good morning." Kakashi strolled over leisurely.

The three little ones were instantly shocked by the voice!

The sun comes out in the west?

Kakashi-sensei arrived at the meeting point so early!

In fact, Kakashi left home early, which was unusual for him, because he was worried about Sasuke's situation.

Upon arriving at the training ground and seeing Sasuke there, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sasuke, are you alright?" Kakashi stepped forward and carefully examined Sasuke's expression.

Seeing that he seemed fine except for being a little tired, I finally felt relieved.

"I'm fine," Sasuke replied in a muffled voice, turning his head away.

Kakashi nodded upon hearing this and said to the three children, "Alright, now that everyone is here, let's begin our mission."

……

The entire morning, Class 7 was busy running around to various corners.

Helping elderly people living alone buy daily necessities, looking after pets for wealthy businessmen...

In short, it was all incredibly boring chores.

Naruto had long been impatient with these boring D-rank missions, but today he was unusually quiet and didn't yell at Kakashi to give him a more challenging mission as he usually did.

Because he had one thing on his mind all the time.

How can I complete the final training for the Rasengan as quickly as possible?

Sasuke was equally distracted.

He forced himself to stay awake last night, and now he is on the verge of mental exhaustion and physically exhausted.

Even so, he persevered and showed no signs of fatigue.

At noon.

After completing several tasks, Class 7 was finally able to take a short break.

Kakashi was delighted to bring three students to Ichiraku Ramen.

"Hey, what brings all four of you together today?"

Behind the kitchen counter, Uncle Ichiraku greeted Kakashi and the others with a smile and invited them to sit down.

Naruto, however, did not cheer as usual.

He plopped down, crossed his arms, and puffed out his cheeks, sulking.

Kakashi and Sakura exchanged a wry smile; everyone knew he was just sulking with Sasuke.

Sasuke, however, didn't seem to care. He sat down next to Naruto without any hesitation and ordered a bowl of soy sauce ramen with a blank expression.

"Boss, I want miso ramen with extra char siu!" Naruto immediately shouted, not to be outdone.

The ramen was served shortly afterward.

The four people ate quietly, each lost in their own thoughts.

Naruto ate ten bowls of ramen in a row, getting angrier and angrier, while Sasuke acted like he'd taken the wrong medicine.

He always had a sour face, and his words were sarcastic and unpleasant.

Naruto said with dissatisfaction, "Sasuke, once I learn that ninjutsu, I will definitely defeat you. Just you wait."

Sasuke sneered, "Idiot, being obsessed with that kind of thing will never make you stronger than me."

Sakura covered her face helplessly: "Here we go again, these two."

Kakashi said speechlessly, "Since you're all full, let's continue with the mission."

Shi Yu, who had just come out of the kitchen, watched the group leave and chuckled.

"Erzhuzi, don't speak too confidently."

……

Next, as usual, the tasks of the seventh squad were still miscellaneous chores.

I worked until sunset and finally finished all the tasks assigned to me for the day.

"Phew—it's finally over!"

Naruto stretched and yawned. After a day of hard work, he couldn't wait to go back to sleep.

Kakashi looked at the three children, who were covered in sweat, and nodded with satisfaction, saying, "You've all worked hard. That's enough for today, everyone!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Naruto turned and ran away impatiently, waving as he ran: "Goodbye, Kakashi-sensei! Goodbye, Sakura! Sasuke, just wait until I defeat you!"

Watching Naruto's hurried figure disappear into the distance, Sakura couldn't help but smile: "Why is this guy suddenly so enthusiastic?"

"Hmph." Sasuke snorted coldly, his gaze complex as he looked in the direction Naruto had disappeared, without answering.

Kakashi looked at Sasuke: "Are you going back to the clan tonight?"

Sasuke nodded: "Of course."

"How about we skip training tonight and get a good night's sleep..." Kakashi suggested tentatively.

He was genuinely worried that Sasuke's body wouldn't be able to handle it if he kept going like this.

“No need!” Sasuke refused decisively, his expression unusually firm.

After saying that, he didn't wait for Kakashi's response and turned to stride away in another direction.

……

Night falls.

Uchiha clan ruins.
