Chapter 28
"During the competition, casualties are permitted. Any means may be used to obtain the special kunai, but once one side surrenders, the other may not continue attacking."
"Team-ups and alliances are allowed during the competition."
"Pay attention—team-ups and alliances are allowed!! Whether in small squads, classes, or any other form, it doesn't matter!"
Kakashi went on and on explaining the rules, finally concluding:
"The competition begins in half an hour. Until then, free time!"
The moment Kakashi finished speaking, the students erupted into excited chatter.
Naruto's head throbbed from all the noise. He grabbed Sakyo's hand to pull her away from the crowd, only to be blocked by the swarm of fangirls.
Sakyo, of course, had no intention of letting them waste her time. Her expression changed instantly. A faint, chilling killing intent swept the area.
The fangirls stared at her, stunned.
Sakyo let out a cold snort, completely ignoring their fear. In an icy tone she said:
"Get out of the way!"
The fangirls had never seen Sasuke like this. They scattered immediately.
Naruto came over with a big grin, openly taking Sakyo's hand and leading her away right in front of everyone.
On the other side, within the Sunagakure group, Gaara narrowed his eyes and stared at Sakyo. For the first time, this boring competition sparked a bit of interest in him.
"That one's strong."
Kankurō saw how Sakyo's mere presence intimidated so many people—just like Gaara.
Gaara memorized Sakyo's appearance and said in a low, sinister voice:
"He's dead."
Temari: "What a shame… such a good-looking guy~"
She looked regretfully at Sakyo, then shifted her gaze to Naruto, who was now approaching her.
Right now, Naruto looked like nothing more than Sakyo's harmless little sidekick~
Naruto's destination was, of course, a quiet part of the forest. On the way, he casually grabbed a little Hinata from the crowd and brought her along.
Perfect. On his left stood the cool, aloof Sakyo; on his right, the shy and adorable Hinata.
Naruto couldn't help but start daydreaming about the next three days. Mmm~ so nice~~~
The only downside? Sakura showed up halfway through. Looked like she was determined to be the third wheel!
"Alright, let's head out now!"
Naruto excitedly led the three girls—oh wait, to outsiders it looked like two boys and two girls.
Anyway, Naruto decided to head straight into the dense forest ahead. He couldn't wait any longer~
Find a good shelter, then enjoy a three-day camping trip with three beautiful companions. How could it get any better?
Well… okay, not three. Two.
Sakura didn't count. Sakura was his good bro! His best buddy!
"Uzumaki Naruto, do you have any plan?"
Sakyo naturally wouldn't let Naruto lead her astray. Before they entered the forest, she spoke up directly.
Kakashi had said the competition would start in half an hour—this was free time.
On the surface it seemed casual, but when explaining the rules, Kakashi had heavily emphasized that alliances were allowed.
These thirty minutes were obviously meant for everyone to form groups for the upcoming competition.
However, Sakyo had no interest in teaming up.
Putting aside how to divide the discovered kunai, Sakyo would never take orders from anyone else!
Of course… if that person was Uzumaki Naruto, she might consider it.
After all, Naruto was very strong.
Naruto reached out with his sneaky hand and patted Sakyo's shoulder. "Little Sasuke~ What plan? We're obviously just gonna have fun here for three days~"
"Why care so much about the competition?"
