Naruto : I Aspire To Become Hokage Man

Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Akamaru Seems to Be More Delicious



---

Naruto and his team arrived at Room 301, the location Kakashi had given them, only to see Kakashi himself standing at the door.

Kakashi looked at the three and said, "You've arrived. Now you can officially apply for the Chūnin Exams."

"What do you mean?" Sasuke asked, narrowing his eyes.

Kakashi explained lazily, "This exam requires a three-person team from the start. Only a full squad can take it. If even one of you is absent, all three are disqualified." He gave them a pointed look before continuing, "However, since you all came here of your own will this time..."

Kakashi suddenly chuckled. "Well done! I'm so proud of you!" He then stepped aside and pushed the door open.

"Obviously, I didn't want to come." Naruto muttered under his breath.

Kakashi: "..."

As soon as the three entered the classroom, dozens of eyes turned toward them. The pressure in the room was palpable.

"Yo, what's up?" Naruto greeted with a big grin.

"HEY! Naruto!" Sakura hissed, eyes wide in horror. "Don't draw attention to us, you idiot!"

The moment those words left Naruto's mouth, an overwhelming killing intent washed over Sakura, making her break out in a cold sweat. "Shit... it's over. He's done it now."

Meanwhile, Naruto was completely unbothered, casually turning to Sasuke and whispering, "Hey, look at those guys. Their hair looks like a bunch of brooms."

The so-called "broom heads" immediately snapped their heads in his direction, glaring daggers at him.

Naruto smirked and kept going. "And those old dudes over there... Damn, they're probably older than your dad, and they're still Genin? Damn, that's rough."

The entire room went silent for a moment. Then—

"That little shit just insulted all of us!"

"Who does this brat think he is?!"

"I'll make him kneel and beg for mercy in the exam!"

Sakura dropped her head onto the desk, clutching her temples. "We're doomed... Naruto just made us public enemies!"

Suddenly, without warning, a figure rushed from behind and tackled Naruto into a tight hug.

"Naruto-sama!! It's been so long! I've been waiting for this moment with great anticipation!"

Naruto blinked, then looked down to see a blonde head pressed against his chest.

"(╬ಠ益ಠ) GET OFF HIM, YOU FAT PIG, INO!" Sakura roared.

"Oh? Isn't this ugly forehead girl?" Ino smirked. "Your forehead's still massive as always."

Before Sakura could explode, Naruto smoothly pulled Ino in front of him and, to everyone's surprise, wrapped an arm around her waist while holding her hand with the other.

With a charming grin, he whispered, "My dear Ino, long time no see~"

Instantly, Ino's face flushed red, and with a startled squeal, she shoved Naruto away before retreating behind Shikamaru and Chōji.

Shikamaru sighed and scratched his head. "Man... I really don't want to be here. This whole thing is a drag."

Naruto laughed. "Yo, Shikamaru! Still the same lazy bastard, huh?"

Shikamaru scoffed. "Please, you're worse than me. All you do is eat, sleep, and do nothing all day. I've never even seen you train."

Naruto turned to Chōji next. "Yo, Chōji, bag me some chips."

"Hell no."

Naruto sighed dramatically. "Man, people just aren't as generous as they used to be."

Then, with a flick of his wrist, Naruto pulled out a storage scroll, popped it open, and—a whole-ass refrigerator appeared out of thin air.

"Alright, everyone, let's have a feast!"

The entire examination hall went dead silent.

"...Is this guy for real?"

"Did he just bring a whole fridge?!"

"What kind of lunatic is this?"

Before anyone could process this madness, a familiar voice called out:

"Yo! There you guys are!"

Turning toward the entrance, Naruto saw Kiba Inuzuka walking over with Akamaru on his head. Shino Aburame and Hinata Hyūga followed behind him.

The moment Naruto's gaze landed on Hinata, he disappeared in a blur, appearing right next to her.

With a flourish, he conjured a red rose out of nowhere and gently tucked it behind her ear.

"My dear Hinata, it's been far too long. Did you miss me?"

Hinata's face turned crimson, her entire body trembling.

"H-h-h-h-huh?!"

And then—she fainted right into Naruto's arms.

Naruto smirked. "Heh. A wife is a wife. And in my case, she even comes with built-in free body pillows. Nice."

Shino sighed in exasperation. "Naruto, can you stop teasing Hinata every time we meet?"

Naruto blinked at him. "Wait... who are you again?"

Shino twitched. "...Aburame Shino."

Naruto waved dismissively. "Right, right. Yonishi, was it?"

"...It's SHINO."

Before Naruto could continue butchering his name, he whistled and called out, "Come here, Akamaru! I got some special dog food for you."

Naruto pulled out a bag of premium, limited-edition dog food, shaking it enticingly in front of the small white pup.

"Woof!" Akamaru's eyes lit up, and without hesitation, he jumped into Naruto's arms, wagging his tail enthusiastically.

"HEY! AKAMARU!!" Kiba yelled, furious. "DAMN IT, NARUTO, STOP STEALING MY DOG!!"

Ever since the Academy days, Naruto had been randomly giving Akamaru weird but insanely nutritious pet treats. At this point, the dog was probably stronger than Kiba himself, though Kiba was too dense to notice.

Meanwhile, Chōji, who had been quietly observing everything, suddenly narrowed his eyes at Akamaru.

After a long pause, he muttered, "Huh… Akamaru kinda looks delicious."

Silence.

Kiba's eye twitched violently. "...WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!"

Shikamaru groaned, rubbing his temples. "Ugh, this is gonna be a mess..."

Kiba was seconds away from strangling Chōji, Naruto was still casually petting Akamaru, Hinata was out cold in his arms, and Sakura was still recovering from her public embarrassment.

Meanwhile, Sasuke sat quietly at the side, arms crossed, observing everything with a look that screamed:

"I am surrounded by morons."
