Chapter 73
"I'm not joking—I'm robbing you!!!"
Naruto suddenly snarled viciously at Ino, his expression turning wild and arrogant.
Ino jumped in fright, then several angry vein marks popped on her forehead. She clenched her little fist and swung it toward Naruto.
However…
Slap~
Naruto easily caught Ino's wrist and gave it a light squeeze.
"Aaaaah!! This really hurts hurts hurts hurts hurts!!"
"Naruto, let go! Let go, Naruto—you're hurting me!"
Ino screamed and struggled to break free. The sharp pain in her wrist made her realize Naruto was being serious.
When Naruto finally released her, Ino's eyes welled up with tears. She looked at him pitifully: "You're actually serious?"
Naruto nodded: "Of course! Hurry up—otherwise I'll spank you right here in front of everyone."
"What??!"
Ino's face turned deathly pale. She quickly retreated several steps.
Naruto had recently shown terrifying combat power—dealing with Ino would be child's play for him.
Ino looked at Naruto in horror, one hand instinctively reaching back to protect her bottom…
"That's right. Move faster—or I'll do exactly what I said."
"I don't want to rob you either, but I already promised a certain Sand ninja that I'd rob everyone. I have to be fair."
"To protect my credibility, I have no choice but to do this even though it pains me."
Naruto acted like he was the one suffering the most, yet what he was doing was utterly shameless.
Ino was so infuriated by Naruto's thick-skinned attitude that she almost wanted to duel him on the spot.
Fortunately, her strong willpower held her back.
"Hmph! Uzumaki Naruto? I'm not scared of you!"
At that moment, Inuzuka Kiba couldn't stand it anymore. Naruto had gone completely berserk—recognizing no one!
Kiba and Naruto were good bros—they'd skipped class together and were pretty tight friends.
Kiba refused to believe Naruto would really attack him.
Naruto looked at Kiba expressionlessly: "Oh? Is that so?"
"Then go ahead and test me. I won't be as gentle with you as I am with girls!"
Kiba: "(⊙o⊙)…"
…
Ten minutes later, a huge pile of special kunai lay beside Naruto. With a big grin, he spoke to the classmates who hadn't gone far:
"Thanks, everyone!"
"Hehehe~"
Among them, Kiba's face was swollen purple and blue—he looked exactly like a pig's head.
"Damn you, Naruto! I'll get revenge one day!"
Kiba mumbled through his swollen cheeks, deeply unwilling.
Why had Naruto suddenly become so strong that he could rob an entire group by himself?
Naruto ignored Kiba's words and returned to his post feeling completely satisfied.
Time ticked by, and Naruto's team's pile of special kunai grew bigger and bigger.
Except for those who had arrived earlier than Naruto, basically everyone had been robbed by him.
In the end, more than 80% of all the special kunai in the competition had been collected by Naruto.
As the competition neared its end, many students glared resentfully at Naruto from afar.
Naruto was a complete tyrant—he didn't collect any special kunai himself, yet he robbed everyone else's. He was truly a great demon!
However, none of the academy students' teachers said a word about it.
Because this wasn't just allowed under the competition rules—it was one of the fundamental rules of the ninja world.
When you're strong enough, you can do whatever you want!
You can't force someone not to do something just because you yourself can't do it, right?
