'Sweet! 30 points already,' criss-crossed on his bed Sasuke's face revealed a cunning smile.
He ready don't know what change this chat group would bring to the future. One thing for sure he knows little by little he will be able to bring greater happiness to everybody.
'All changes happen from small steps. So let this be the start of something truly amazing,' Sasuke stopped his concentration from the Chat Group and looked out at the rising sun shining from his pavilion.
From his memory he realizes how lonely Sasuke has been these years. Ever since the death of his family and clan he was urged with increasing hate for his brother Itachi.
But from now on the story is going to change.
Sasuke clicked under his own name from the chat group interface:
[Daily Mission]:
[Befriend Naruto-Reward 10 Points][Requirement: Must reach over 50 Points(Friendship Status)]
Sasuke was slightly piqued by this daily mission. Because according to his past memories Sasuke and Naruto had always been bickering.
Under his relationships he quickly found the name 'Naruto':
[Relationship Status: Enemy-27 Points]
'It's good. At least it isn't any lower,' comforting himself as he made plans to approach Naruto. 'For the sake of happiness-Onward!'
There's still one year before the graduation from the Ninja school so many things in the future could still be prevented. Especially the encounter with Orochimaru
Sitting up from the bed he started doing the bed and quickly got dressed in the regular blue top and white short attire. Soon he came to the door that opens to this new world.
Despite all the previous memories as the new him he still felt a anxious excitement for this beginning. Turning the door knob of the apartment slowly a ray of light shined into his eyes.
Walking to the school he noticed many young females looking at him. Usually Sasuke would pass by ignoring these girls but today he done something out of the ordinary.
"Look look it's Sasuke!" A girl in black who was talking to her friend group shouted to her friends.
'These are probably my classmates from school,' Sasuke thought to himself.
"OMG he's smiling at me!!"
"What are you saying! He's definitely smiling at ME!"
"Liar!" "You're the liar!"
It was only a simple smile to Sasuke. However, in the image of these girls it was as though the spring flowers had finally blossomed from their winter cages.
Who knew a simple smile could start a Cold War between the girls. Right now according to the information from the Chat group his Charm is at 43 points.
As these girls were still bickering to each other Sasuke nonchalantly entered into the school and head in to his class. As he scanned the room there were many familiar figures from the anime. Bring back a gush of childhood memories.
There was the sleeping Shikamaru napping on the table. Next to him was a really chubby kid eat chips in a loud disturbing way. 'That must be Choji."
There was also a girl with a large pair of white eyes who after their eyes made contact she immediately turn to stairing down at her textbook. From what is observed she seems to be blushing and trying to hide her embarrassment.
As he walked to the table at the corner of the room Sasuke noticed Sakura who's setting in the middle seat looking back at him with her emerald colored eyes.
"Good morning Sasuke," Sakura greeted in a low voice with shyness. She was wearing the usual red qipao from the anime.
Smiling brightly Sasuke greeted back, "Morning Sakura!"
Sakura was so taken aback by the way Sasuke has changed this morning that she went silent in shock. It was as though she has turned into a stone block.
Sitting down at the seat closest to the wall Sasuke looked at the empty seat at the end of table where Naruto usually sit. 'Looks like he late as usually,' Sasuke scoffed, thinking to himself.
After sitting he looked out one of the textbooks from the space under the table and opened it.
'Release-Gate of Opening'
Sasuke founds hims mind more clearer than before as he start to scan the page below him. The first gate allows the mental inhibitions that blocks the mind to be completely released.
It was a surprising experience as he scanned the textbook pages below him. With a single glance he was able to imprint everything he read into his brain like he had photographic memory.
With ease everything surprisingly came together in his brain. The new information connected with other things he learned back on Earth.
Soon class started as the teacher Iruka starts to call out the names of students:
"Ino Yamanaka!"
"Here"
"Kiba Inuzuka!"
"Here"
"Naruto Uzumaki!"
"…"
"Naruto Uzumaki!" Iruka repeated his call. There was no response. Looking up from the attendance sheet the teacher sighed as though this has became a usual habit of his.
"That knucklehead is late again," a classmate whispered to his friend.
"Two days in a row too," replied his friend giggling.
Soon the classroom turned into a one-off about the lateness of Naruto. As Iruka finally spoke-up to quiet the students, "Alright students silence! Sasuke Uchiha!"
"Here!" Sasuke responded back while still studying from the textbook.
"I'm here! I'm here!" A loud voice shouted from the hall as a kid in shiny yellow hair charged into the classroom.
Sasuke realized it was Naruto from the swirl design on his yellow coat. There were some dirt on that jacket.
'Does he even change his clothes?' Sasuke thought to himself. He realizes that Naruto seems to had always wore the same clothes throughout the series.
"Naruto Uzumaki! You're tardy two days in a row!" Iruka used a strict teacher voice along with a serious face as he told Naruto.
Naruto seemed as though he was running with quick speed as he was charging in. His hands were clapped to his knee-cap as he takes in deep breath inwards.
Standing up after regaining his stamina he rubbed his golden hair. Giving a foolish smile as pouted in complaint, "Sorry Iruka-Sensei! My alarm didn't go off this time."
"This knucklehead," Iruka sighed talking to himself, "just go to your seat. Make sure to not be late next time."
"YES! Thank you Iruka-Sensei!" Naruto bowed deeply in thanks before headed to the seat next to Sakura.
"Hey Sakura!" Naruto who was taking the seat greeted her. Though she always knew his feelings Sakura didn't really have that good of an impression of Naruto.
It's easy to know why with only a single glance. Naruto really lacks fashion-sense. The biggest problem is definitely the fact that he's really sloppy and immature.
Sakura ignored Naruto's greeted and only replied with a despising scoff. Returning at once to admiring the handsome Sasuke next to her.
'How did the old Sasuke even deal with this?' He thought to himself. It's kind of annoying with a girl putting him on the center of her attention.
From the corner of his eyes Sasuke notices Sakura's eyes turning into pink heart-signs. There's also Naruto with a sad moping face as he watches his crush infatuated with his biggest rival.
….
"Alright class it's lunch time," Iruka said to the class with a smile as he notices how the students seem to have a tired look on their faces.
Iruka closes the book he had in his hand as he walks to leave the class. The students take out bentos and other foods their parents prepared for them.
"Yah it's finally lunch time!" Naruto was the one to jump up in excitement. But then his faces dragged into a depressing sulk as he suddenly realized he hadn't prepared any food this morning when he ran to school.
"Nooo I didn't bring lunch," Naruto's stomach gurgled in complaint from the dire hunger.
Hinata who was in one of the tables was just about to snack on her lunch when she heard that Naruto didn't food. Wanting to give him some of hers, like always too shy to approach.
Naruto begins to turn his head as he eyes the food Sakura has in her hands. "Sakura can I….?" Naruto makes a pitiful face as he begs for food from his crush.
"Don't ask," Sakura had this dark aura around her that sends chill to Naruto's spine. Before turning into all smiles when she looks at Sasuke, "Sasuke-kun do want some of my food?"
Sasuke smiled at Sakura and shake his head to indicate the negative. Standing up from the seat Sasuke walked around the table to Naruto's side.
Naruto who was still sulking from his hunger notices Sasuke who was standing in front of him, "What do you want?" He crosses his arms with his eyes looking to the side trying to act tough.
Sasuke thought this Naruto was kind of funny actually. Obviously like a little kid trying to pretend to be an adult cross his arms. Trying to act cool which doesn't suit him at all.
"Here," Sasuke took out a big onigiri(Japanese Rice Ball) and handed it to Naruto. "If this is enough I still have some more."
'Que!!' Sakura turned into a marble figure again as he saw Sasuke hand the rice ball to Naruto. Today was too much surprise for her. So much so that she can't get used to what is happening.
Looking at the big rice ball Naruto starts licking his lip. As his hands were about to reach the onigiri Naruto stopped.
Naruto scrunched his eyebrows together eyeing Sasuke with a peculiar glance as though he was wondering whether the food was poisoned. Asking with a weird face, "Why are you being so nice to me…Wait have I not wake up!"
Pinching his own face as though seeing if it might still be a dream. "Ouch! It hurts," with awe and surprise as he took the onigiri into his hands, "this is really not a dream."
"Naruto do you want to be my friend?" Sasuke asked him casually. For some reason whatever Sasuke does in this body seems to always be super cool.
Now all the girls and guys in the class stopped in silence. Watching this scene of the coolest guy in school asking that 'thing' to be his friend.
'What is happening today? Sasuke not only handed Naruto food. He also asked to be his friend?!!' Ino thought to herself was her eyebrows raised up in surprise.
