Naruto: I, Naruto, started with the Rinnegan

"Sakura, can you stand up? Come and protect Mr. Tazuna."

Sakura stared blankly at the two figures fighting the enemy to a standstill, her eyes gradually welling up with tears.

Why does it always have to be like this? We're all in the same class, why do you always leave me out...?

"Sakura, are you sure you can do it?"

Kakashi's question rang out again.

"I...I can do it!"

Sakura bit her lip, and the blood brought her back to her senses. She stood up, holding a kunai in front of Tazuna.

She declared firmly, "Even if it costs me my life, I will not budge an inch!"

Have you come to your senses?

Kakashi was a little surprised; the little girl was quite outstanding. He praised her, "Keep it up!"

.........

In the small lake in the woods.

Zabuza stood on the lake, forming hand seals and performing a ninjutsu.

"Ninja Art: Hidden Mist Technique!"

Chakra was injected into the lake, and the lake water turned into mist, which quickly spread in the air and soon enveloped the entire surrounding area.

"Hey, didn't we agree not to use ninjutsu?"

Naruto, who had chased Naruto to the lake, stopped.

"Kid, if nobody tells you anything, you're just waiting to die!"

In the thick fog, Zabuza's voice was faint and elusive, concealing his presence as he silently approached Naruto, his kunai swiftly thrusting towards Naruto's neck.

"What?!"

Zabuza was horrified. Naruto grabbed his wrist with one hand and punched him in the chest with the other.

"Inch Power - Heaven-Splitting!"

Bang!

A sharp pain shot through his chest, Zabuza's face contorted in agony, his eyes widened, and his body curled into a ball as he flew backward, crashing through several trees before coming to a stop.

"Zabuza-sama!!!"

Haku, who was fighting Sasuke, instantly lost his will to fight, allowing Sasuke's Chidori to pierce his arm, and ran to Zabuza.

Zabuza lay on the ground, his chest caved in, his face was deathly pale, he was breathing heavily with little air intake, and he looked like he was about to die.

His pale face showed sorrow. Was this the end of the day?

Zabuza pushed Haku away, weak and powerless: "Cough cough... Haku, you should leave now..."

Haku grabbed Zabuza's hand and said firmly, "No, Lord Zabuza, I want to stay."

.........

"Is that... some kind of superhuman strength?"

Faced with Kakashi's puzzled question, Naruto calmly replied, "It's not super strength. It's a technique from one of my immortal friends. I just learned it recently."

"Immortal? What a strange name..."

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

Lying down and waiting to die was not Zabuza's style. He forced himself to stand up, squeezed out all the chakra in his body, and opened his mouth to spray a huge water ball at the four members of Team 7.

Naruto said calmly, "A death throes..."

—Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique!

A giant fire dragon soared through the air, scorching and evaporating the water sphere into vapor before continuing its forward momentum.

"Ice Release: Ice Rock Hall Without End!"

Bai made a hand seal, and a wall of ice suddenly appeared around him. The fire dragon collided with the ice wall, and in the end, they both vanished into nothingness.

"Bai, since... you idiot don't want to leave, then we're going to die here together today..."

Zabuza had already lay down again, looking up at Haku with a self-deprecating smile on his face.

I never imagined that Zabuza Momochi would end up like this...

"Being able to be with Lord Zabuza has always been my wish."

Bai's tone was gentle and calm, showing no fear of death, and even a hint of satisfaction.

Zabuza was taken aback, then turned his head away. "That's why I said... you're an idiot. What's so great about someone like me..."

"No, Lord Zabuza, you are in my heart..."

.........

"Were they... a couple?"

A love story that only happened in plays was unfolding before her eyes, and Sakura, blinded by love, was deeply moved, her mind wandering to fantasies about what it would be like if she and Sasuke...

"Hey, you're drooling."

"Ah, I'm sorry..."

Sakura snapped out of her daze, wiped her mouth, and finding no drool, immediately realized she had been tricked.

His gaze fell on Sasuke.

Seeing Sasuke's disgusted and even repulsive expression, Sakura looked miserable. Oh no, Sasuke hates her again.

Then, she thought of the culprit and her anger flared up.

"Naruto, you..."

Sakura rolled up her sleeves, ready to smash Naruto.

"Sakura, you actually want to challenge me... Very well, I admire your courage, and I will give it my all to show my respect for you."

Naruto assumed a fighting stance, ready to attack.

Sakura paused, then went all out?

She glanced at Zabuza, who was dying not far away, swallowed hard, lowered her fist, and forced a smile at Naruto.

"Naruto, we're in the same class, there's no need to go all out, and... what you just said was a bit too much, don't you think you should apologize to me?"

Naruto nodded thoughtfully: "That's true to some extent, but I think you should apologize to Sasuke first, and then I'll apologize to you, how about that?"

"unnecessary!"

Sasuke stared coldly at Sakura and warned, "I'll say it again, don't fantasize about me in front of me! It just disgusts me!"

.........

"Oh dear, how did things get so messy all of a sudden..."

Naruto remained indifferent, Sasuke was cold and silent, and Sakura was dejected and gloomy.

Kakashi, who witnessed the whole incident, had a headache. He had thought that after more than a month of getting along, the relationship between the three of them would be better, but it turned out that... it was still the same.

Friendship is thinner than a sheet of paper; a joke can break it. As for the kind of bond that Kakashi longed for—a bond of life and death—it was nowhere to be seen.

Ugh, what a hassle...

After offering a few words of comfort and mediation to no avail, Kakashi turned to Naruto and said, "Naruto, you're the one who caused this mess, so you'll have to clean it up."

Konoha's three-person teams usually consist of two men and one woman, with the girl typically able to improve relationships between teammates through her inherent gentleness and attentiveness.

However, Class 7 is different.

In Kakashi's eyes, Naruto was the one who was truly suitable to mediate and improve the relationships among the teammates in Team 7.

She has a good relationship with Sasuke and can also talk to Sakura.

If Naruto were willing to take responsibility, the atmosphere in Team 7 would be much better.

only……

who cares?

Naruto rolled his eyes and ignored Kakashi.

Well, another problem student.

Just as Kakashi was about to begin his lecture, an impatient voice rang out.

"Hey... what are you Konoha ninja dawdling for? Hurry up and give us a quick death!"

.........

Zabuza was very unhappy. He and Haku had said everything they needed to say and expressed their feelings. They were just waiting for the enemy to send them on their way.

But they waited and waited, and it just wouldn't come.

Hey, guess what happened?

Those guys from Konoha actually got into a verbal argument and started arguing on the spot. It's absolutely outrageous, utterly absurd.
