[System Prompt]: Host has chosen Option 2 — Naruto messes around, host takes first place. Reward: Misfortune Card (3 days) +1.
[Misfortune Card]: Can be used on a chosen target. During the duration, the selected target will experience extreme bad luck, as if possessed by the God of Misfortune. (PS: Use with caution on Kage-level or stronger individuals. Their bad luck may have widespread consequences.)
The system's explanation was thorough, but this "Misfortune Card"…
Sasuke suddenly thought — what if he used this during the Fourth Ninja War, sticking it on Obito or Black Zetsu?
Who knows what kind of hilarious chaos would have unfolded.
But that was just a fantasy for now. With his current strength, there was no way he could slap this card on someone like that.
Still, thanks to this choice, he and Naruto were now officially on Iruka's "problem student" list.
They probably weren't considered normal students before either, but this was the first time Uchiha Sasuke had ever had a parent-teacher meeting called over him.
"You two little brats—peeking was bad enough, but how could you go and draw it? Iruka already has trouble finding a girlfriend, and you had to dig up that sore spot."
Kakashi approached after one of his shadow clones had just landed a clean hit on Sasuke, repeating once again which part of the situation was absolutely out of bounds.
"But Kakashi-sensei is also single! And he reads that kind of book every day, and I've never seen him unhappy about it!"
Naruto jumped out of Sasuke's arms and pointed at Kakashi, launching a full-on complaint.
They're both single! And Naruto didn't have a girlfriend either! So what's so wrong about talking about it?
"Uzumaki Naruto, you looking for a beating? Sasuke just shielded you earlier, but he can't save you now!"
Kakashi didn't expect Naruto to still jump out at this point and throw shade—directly at his single status, no less.
That subject had always been his sore spot. Watching others flaunt their love life while being single himself? Brutal.
"Naruto, stop messing around. Kakashi-sensei is already pitiful enough being single… don't say it out loud…"
Sasuke reached out and pulled Naruto back into his arms, dodging together as Kakashi's kunai came flying their way.
But the meaning behind his earlier words? Well, that clearly went right over Naruto's head.
"All right, that's enough. Go rest. You two still have other exams tomorrow," Kakashi said, finally calling it quits after an evening of chaos, just as the ANBU squad changed shifts again. "Don't keep obsessing over the 'dead last' spot. Whether you do well or not, it won't change the final team placements. But—there's one condition: you must graduate."
After all the fooling around, it was clear Kakashi wasn't going to keep training them any longer tonight.
"We don't need to?"
Naruto looked up at him, confused and hesitant.
If they didn't need him to be the dead last to be on the same team, that would obviously be better. But…
Right now, all he cared about was being with Sasuke. One at the top of the class, the other at the very bottom.
The farthest distance between them… yet somehow also the closest.
"Do as you like," Kakashi said with a sigh. "But don't stress over team assignments. You'd better be worrying about whether you can graduate in the first place!"
With that, he used the Body Flicker Technique to appear behind them and gave each of them a light bop on the head—satisfied at last.
As for the matter of graduating—there was no doubt they'd pass. But Kakashi wasn't so sure those scheming elders from the Third Hokage's circle wouldn't try to stir up trouble.
"Go get some rest. For the exam—do whatever makes you happy. However you want to take it, I'll be with you."
Sasuke poked Naruto's cheek, then held his hand and walked him home before heading back to his own place. After a quick shower, he prepared for bed.
Graduation from the Ninja Academy was just around the corner, and Sasuke had been wavering lately—should he release Itachi's crow clone back into the wild?
But if he let it go, and his emotionally unstable brother decided to cause trouble again—what then?
And if he didn't let it go, his self-destructive brother's body might keep deteriorating little by little…
What a pain in the ass!
