Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Naruto's Obscene Proposal, Embarrassing Reward
Konoha Streets
"Hmm... Konohamaru, don't underestimate me! I'm actually pretty good. I can beat guys like that now!" Naruto proudly held his neck as if to emphasize his role as the older brother.
"Brother Naruto doesn't seem to be responding at all right now. But Brother Sasuke reacted quickly and controlled that guy with a single glance," Konohamaru said with a skeptical look on his face, causing Naruto to feel embarrassed for a moment.
"Konohamaru, you're right... You really are understanding. Why don't you change your relationship with your brother? I'm missing a little brother," Sasuke said, pausing to turn his head and give Konohamaru a wry smile.
He wasn't joking. Sasuke was very serious about this. Konohamaru's ninja abilities had already exceeded expectations. He was a genius ninja, comparable to Kakashi. With a little guidance, he could easily reach Kage-level or even Sannin-level strength. Konohamaru, Sasuke believed, could become his most trusted confidant and could help him with his own goals. Sasuke could already picture Konohamaru leading the next generation.
"Really? Brother Sasuke..." Konohamaru's eyes shone with admiration. He had already been captivated by Sasuke's cool demeanor and now his excitement only grew.
The two followers beside him, Setsu and Udon, also began to show signs of jealousy, eager to join the conversation.
"You can come along if you want," Sasuke added with a smile, his bright eyes shining as he invited the two other boys.
While Udon's talent was still unclear, Setsu was a super genius who had awakened the Wood Release bloodline on her own. If trained properly, she could reach the peak of strength and possibly even surpass the Hokage. Sasuke believed she had the potential to be a legendary figure in her own right.
"Really? Brother Sasuke, I, Setsu, am willing to be your little sister!" Setsu exclaimed excitedly. Her cute yellow eyes sparkled with excitement. She didn't hesitate for a moment—who could resist such an opportunity?
"Really?!" Konohamaru tried to protest, but was immediately interrupted by Naruto, who was adamantly opposed to anyone else taking his little brother away. This was Sasuke they were talking about!
"No way!" Naruto yelled. "Konohamaru is my little brother! No one can take him away from me!"
Sasuke, on the other hand, shrugged and was unfazed by the protest. But then, in an unexpected turn, he caught sight of Sakura, who seemed ready to start a whole new scene of her own.
"By the way, Sasuke, I just remembered something really important I need to talk to you about..." Naruto quickly pulled Sasuke away, trying to avoid any further awkwardness. It seemed like a dangerous situation was brewing around them. Whether it was Sakura throwing herself at Sasuke or his younger brother being poached, Naruto knew it was time to leave before things got too complicated.
Sakura, flustered and irritated, yelled at the two as they left. "What? You're leaving me here? I wanted to go shopping with you, Naruto!" Her voice was full of frustration. She was irritated by the fact that she always seemed to miss these rare opportunities.
As Konohamaru looked back, his eyes filled with curiosity and excitement. "Sasuke's girlfriend? Could that be possible?!" he asked eagerly.
"Sasuke's sister-in-law?" Udon, the other boy, chimed in with similar excitement. The idea of Sasuke having a girlfriend only added more fuel to the fire.
Sakura, hearing their speculation, blushed deeply and quickly denied it. "What?! No! I just wanted to talk about some missions we've been on!"
The trio followed behind Sasuke, who had already walked away, leaving them with nothing but their curiosity and questions.
Naruto, on the other hand, had a rather devious glint in his eye. He had been plotting for a while now and finally found an opportunity to talk to Sasuke alone.
They walked through a nearby alley, out of sight from the others. Naruto was grinning mischievously as he leaned in closer to Sasuke. "Hey, hey, Sasuke, I still haven't paid you back for that shadow clone training session. You know, today's the day I'm going to do that!" he said with a naughty look in his eyes.
Sasuke's expression darkened as he realized what Naruto was implying. He wasn't amused. The last thing he wanted was to get caught up in another of Naruto's strange ideas. "What are you talking about?" Sasuke demanded, his voice cold.
Naruto's grin widened. "You'll see. Come on, let's go, I'll show you what I mean. Trust me, it's going to be fun."
Sasuke's face paled as he heard Naruto's words. He immediately recognized the situation for what it was. Naruto wasn't asking for a simple favor; he was about to drag him into some awkward and embarrassing scenario involving women.
Just as Sasuke was about to leave, a notification from the system echoed in his mind. "Naruto's suggestion is understood. A C-rank reward has been triggered. Mission: 'Let's go together for some spying. Reward: Naruzu's Temptation Technique.'"
Sasuke's eyes widened in shock as the words appeared in his mind. "What... what's this 'Naruzu's Temptation Technique'?" he muttered, feeling a surge of discomfort. "What kind of reward is that?"
Naruto, meanwhile, was unaware of the internal chaos unfolding within Sasuke's mind. His face gleamed with excitement as he began leading Sasuke further into the alley.
As Sasuke followed him, his mind raced. "This isn't happening. I can't believe it. What has this idiot dragged me into?" he thought bitterly. But he knew there was no way out. After all, the system rewards were something he had to accept—even if they were embarrassing.
The next day, Kakashi arrived with the official Chunin Exam application forms. He handed them to Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke.
"Chunin Exam!!" Naruto yelled excitedly as he read the form. His energy was contagious, and Sakura, standing next to him, was equally thrilled.
"Chunin Exam?!" she asked, her voice full of excitement. "Are we really going to participate?"
"Yes, that's right," Kakashi said lazily, with his usual nonchalance. "Here are the forms. If you're going to participate, just sign them. The exam will be in five days, so be sure to show up at Ninja School, Room 301, before 3 PM."
Naruto was practically bouncing with excitement. "Yes!! Kakashi-sensei, I love you!" he yelled, clutching the form like a precious treasure.
Sakura, not wanting to be left out, glanced at Sasuke with an eager look. "Sasuke-kun, do you want to join with us? We'll go together!"
Sasuke hesitated for only a moment before nodding. "Yes, I will," he said calmly. "It's a good opportunity to increase my rank and improve my system rewards."
Sakura beamed with excitement, but Sasuke, on the other hand, was more focused on the rewards. He had experienced the humiliation of receiving the "Naruzu's Temptation Technique" from Naruto's antics and was determined to make the most of this opportunity to level up.
Kakashi gave them a strange look, but said nothing. "Alright, then. Make sure you're prepared. There won't be any missions for the next few days, so you can focus entirely on the exam."
Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura were about to enter one of the most pivotal challenges of their lives—the Chunin Exam. They didn't know yet how it would change their lives, but they were ready to face whatever came their way. The ninja world would be watching as the next generation began to prove themselves in the arena of the Chunin Exams.
