Naruto: Spirit of Life

Sasuke came to the ninja school with injuries all over his body, causing shock to other classmates.

"Sasuke, what's wrong with you? Why are you so seriously injured?"

Ino pushed aside Sakura and moved closer to the front. She ignored Sasuke's attitude of keeping away from strangers and asked with concern: "Sasuke, why are you so seriously injured? What's wrong? Who hit you?" of you?"

Sasuke glanced at Ino and replied, "It was an injury I received while training."

After speaking, there was no more words, but Ino and the others had long been accustomed to Sasuke's cold demeanor.

"Ah, it's too hard, Sasuke. Even if it's for training, you need to take care of your body's safety. Don't get hurt like this again. I'll feel bad."

Ino looked so weak and pitiful, which made Sakura explode with anger after being stripped away.

"Inoboar, you guy!"

Ino turned around, gave Sakura a roll of her eyes, and stuck out her tongue.

"Wide forehead, slightly... Anyway, it's me who is talking to Sasuke, not you. Envy, jealous, slightly..."

"Well Boar!"

"Broad forehead!"

"Well Boar!"

"Broad forehead!"

……

Sakura and Ino, two former best friends, became each other's love rivals that no one liked because of Sasuke. However, Sasuke, who was involved, found them annoying.

Looking at Sakura and Ino who were noisy again from a distance, Naruto showed an envious expression. There was a gauze wrapped on his forehead. He was obviously injured too! Why is Sasuke so popular, yet he is licking his wounds pathetically, and was criticized by Hiruzen Sarutobi last night.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it. This guy Sasuke actually lied to me. It's so annoying. He didn't get stronger at all when he was injured. In this case, let me think about it, what song should I sing? By the way, I'll cut plums, really. It’s snowflakes flying!”

Naruto pouted, with a look of complaint on his face, and stared at Sasuke with a pair of blue eyes full of dissatisfaction. Jealousy had already made him sing a lonely plum.

Naruto didn't notice that Hinata was watching him while sitting in the last row.

"Naruto seems to be injured. Was it during training? Naruto is very hardworking. Should I give this to him?"

Hinata looked at the wound ointment in her hand, it was a special medicine from the Hyuga clan, but she was shy and shy, and was afraid of being rejected by Naruto, and thought she was strange.

"Oh, what a hassle!"

Nara Shikamaru looked at Ino and Sakura who were arguing below, looking lazy and unmotivated.

The snacks in Akimichi Choji's hands kept coming. Scenes like this happened almost every day. Over time, they almost became a habit. It wasn't until Iruka arrived that the class became quiet.

Iruka also asked about Sasuke's injuries. After getting the answer, he persuaded Sasuke to pay attention to his body. The answer he got was Sasuke's silence. Iruka never realized that he was now a shadow clone, so he asked Sasuke to deal with this ninja. School feels boring.

……

Time passed by, and Maya's days in the ninja school became fewer and fewer. On this day, she was still walking on the street as usual. She saw various graffiti on the Hokage Rock, which made Maya feel in a trance.

"Has the time come to this? Where dreams begin!"

Maya whispered softly that everything was about to begin, and his life as a ninja school teacher was about to end.

……

On this day, it was time for Sasuke, Naruto and others to graduate. On this day, the assessment of the Ninja School was still the Clone Technique, which is the most basic Three Body Technique.

That limp clone gave Iruka a direct fail.

"Teacher Iruka, his physical skills and endurance are both excellent. As he is now, he can barely be considered as capable of the art of cloning. Even if he passes, he will still..."

Mizuki's words made Naruto widen his eyes and look at him with expectation.

Iruka said without mercy: "Teacher Mizuki, everyone can distinguish at least three clones, but Naruto only has one, and he is still a guy who can be seen at a glance. There is no way I can let him pass."

Iruka's sentence made Naruto clenched his fists unwillingly and left the examination room. On a swing outside the ninja school, Naruto looked alone and lonely at the classmates in front of him who had received forehead protectors.

Naruto under the shade of the tree seemed to be in two different worlds from the cheerful classmate in front of him, who was showing off with a Konoha forehead protector. From time to time, he could hear parents praising and boasting about their children.

"That kid!"

"It's that child!"

"It seems like he's the only one who failed!"

"Hmph, he deserves it now. It would be bad if that kind of person became a ninja. That kid is..."

"Hey, you can't say the next thing!"

"I know, huh, I really don't understand why Hokage-sama allows that child to stay in the village."

……

Those familiar and sharp words made Naruto accustomed to it. He originally wanted to put on the Konoha forehead protector with joy, but he did not wear the goggles naughtily.

Naruto had long been accustomed to this and wore goggles. Most of the village hated him, but there were also many people like Maya who treated him as just a stranger, with those cold, disgusted eyes.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from beside him. Mizuki stood beside him, which made Naruto stunned. Maya, who was watching Naruto secretly, saw everything, including Sarutobi Hiruzen in the distance. .

"It's really familiar. In this way, my life as a teacher in the ninja school is over. As long as I complete my most important wish, hehe... just continue to play music and play, hehe..."

Maya lifted the shadow clone technique, and everything that happened in a day was fed back into the main body.

At the Forty-Four Training Ground, Maya is practicing alone at the moment, because today is the graduation examination, Sasuke's training is also over, and it is time to say goodbye.

"Maya, are you really still here?"

Sasuke arrived at the Forty-four training ground at this time. He was wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt and sleeves on his arms, covering the weight-bearing iron rings he had been wearing. He looked relaxed and indifferent, completely adapted to the weight-bearing. He also wore Konoha's forehead protector on his head.

Maya smiled and said: "Well, forehead protector, congratulations, Sasuke, finally became a ninja. With this, our training should be over."

Sasuke glanced at Maya with some reluctance. She had helped him a lot, and in his mind, she had even taken risks to help him. He couldn't get too entangled.

"Thank you...thank you, Maya."

Sasuke bent down towards Maya and thanked him seriously. Maya was not related to him and could help him. The overwhelming gratitude in his heart finally condensed into two words: thank you.
