Time flies like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, the day of the Ninja Academy's graduation exam quietly arrived.

Inside the Yuuki residence, Ino strolled familiarly to Yuuki's room and immediately spotted that familiar figure curled up in bed, immersed in a sweet dream.

"This guy..." Ino sighed helplessly and slowly approached.

"If you don't get up now, you'll become the only unlucky kid in this graduating class who can't graduate because of skipping exams."

"Honestly, if there really is a past life, I think you must have been a squirrel in your past life, you can sleep so much."

Ino rested her hands on the edge of the bed, staring at the sleepy-eyed Shinomiya Yuuki with a playful expression.

The sound woke Youyue from his deep sleep. He slowly opened his eyes, and what came into view was that exquisitely beautiful face.

He smiled slightly.

"You're wrong. Actually, I was an armed helicopter in my past life."

Yuyue rubbed her eyes and reluctantly got out of bed.

"Huh?" Ino stood there, completely bewildered.

Ignoring Ino's bewilderment, Yuzuki went straight to the bathroom to wash up.

A short while later, a spirited Youyue emerged.

"What exactly is that armed helicopter you're talking about?"

Ino curiously leaned over to ask.

"It is capable of anything, from ascending to the heavens to descending to the earth. A single attack from it can shake mountains and rivers. It is incredibly powerful."

Ino's mouth gaped slightly in surprise: "That sounds amazing... Is it at the level of a tailed beast?"

"No, no, but their power is about the same. Alright, let's go."

Yuzuki smiled and waved, then went out with Ino.

When we arrived at the Ninja Academy, it was already bustling with activity.

The crowd was so large that it was almost impossible to move!

"What's going on? Why is everyone stuck here?"

Shinomiya Yuuki was puzzled.

"Huh? I see my dad, and Uncle Shikaku and Uncle Choza too."

In the crowd, Ino spotted several familiar faces. She looked over in surprise and saw that they seemed to be talking to someone, but the crowd was too dense to see the details clearly.

"Let's go take a look," Yuzuki called out.

As the two approached, the almost frenzied shouts gradually became clearer in their ears.

"The Fourth Hokage!"

"The Fourth Hokage!"

Upon hearing this, Yuuki's lips twitched slightly, as if she realized something: "Could it be that Minato brought Naruto to school, and they were recognized by someone he knew?"

Unlike Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju, Minato's era of activity is not too long ago, and all his acquaintances are still alive. If they saw him, they would definitely recognize him.

At that moment, Ino exclaimed in surprise, "It really is the Fourth Hokage!"

She excitedly grabbed Shinomiya Yuuki, like a little fan seeing her idol: "It's definitely Namikaze Minato! Uncle Choza has photos of him with him at home, I absolutely can't be mistaken!"

"Yuzuki, Yuzuki, did you see that?!"

Shinomiya Yuuki was being pulled along, looking over with a helpless expression. She saw...

Minato Namikaze beamed, attracting a frenzied following. Around him, Shikaku Nara, Inoichi Yamanaka, and Choza Akimichi engaged in a lively conversation.

Looking at Minato Namikaze, who stood out from the crowd like a crane among chickens, Yuuki Shinomiya was filled with emotion.

Is this the legendary "Little Sun"? Its charm is truly undeniable.

"Wait, that's not right. Didn't the Fourth Hokage sacrifice himself a long time ago? He died young during the Nine-Tailed Fox's rampage twelve years ago while sealing the demon fox." Ino suddenly came to her senses, filled with astonishment.

"Perhaps there's some hidden story behind this," Yuzuki said with a smile.

"A hidden story? It's not impossible. Maybe he didn't die back then, but was seriously injured and has been recuperating all these years." Ino pondered, resting her chin on her hand.

"But speaking of which, Yuzuki, why don't you seem surprised at all?"

Ino turned to Shinomiya Yuuki and found that she had remained unusually calm throughout.

That's the Fourth Hokage! The name "Yellow Flash" is widely known throughout the ninja world, and many people in Konoha admire him.

"Hehe, you'll understand when you reach my age." Shinomiya Yuzuki smiled mysteriously.

After saying that, Shinomiya Yuuki pushed through the crowd and walked inside.

Ino rolled her eyes and followed suit. She was already used to Yuuki's quirky and witty remarks.

"Naruto!"

The cacophony of voices was the perfect lullaby. Naruto, who was starting to doze off next to Minato Namikaze, jolted awake at the sound of those familiar voices and instantly became wide awake.

He turned his head and saw Shinomiya Yuuki waving at him. A smile involuntarily bloomed on his face, and he quickly ran forward, calling out, "Yuuki!"

"You finally made it."

"I almost overslept, thank goodness Ino reminded me. Where's the others? Have they all gone in?"

Yuuki looked around and realized that apart from Naruto, there were no other classmates present.

"Yeah, yeah, let's go in quickly, the assessment is about to begin." Naruto nodded vigorously.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go."

The three of them rushed into the school gate in a great hurry.

Inside the school, graduation assessments were in full swing. Students lined up and entered a room one by one. Occasionally, one could see someone walking out with a worried look on their face, while others were all smiles.

Looking over, Shinomiya Yuuki saw Sasuke, Hinata, Sakura, Shikamaru, Choji, and others gathered at the back of the group.

"Oh, so you're so far back in line?"

Yuyue smiled and stepped forward to greet them.

"If I hadn't been waiting for you guys, I would have finished the exam long ago." Sasuke crossed his arms, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

"A friend in need is a friend indeed," Yuzuki said cheerfully, putting her arm around his shoulder.

"Yuyue-kun~"

At that moment, Sakura suddenly called out in her uniquely soft voice.

The sudden sound gave Yuyue goosebumps for no apparent reason.

Holy crap, there are traps in the ninja world too? What's going on here?

Why does Sakura suddenly seem like a different person?

He remembered that Sakura used to look down on him quite a bit, so why has her attitude changed so drastically now?

He looked back and forth between Sakura and Sasuke with suspicion. There was no one else but Sasuke who could make Sakura's personality change so drastically.

He leaned close to Sasuke's ear and whispered, "Did you do some work on him behind his back?"

Sasuke nodded slightly: "I just said a few words to help her change some bad habits."

Sasuke knows all too well how unlikeable Sakura was back then.

In the original timeline, Team 7 had only been formed a short time ago, and she was already able to criticize Naruto in front of him for not having parents, while also dragging Sasuke and Kakashi into the conversation.

He offended three people in the team with just one sentence; his verbal skills are truly "impressive."

But now the situation is completely different. Naruto's strength is not what it used to be, and with the mysterious and unpredictable Shinomiya Yuuki, Sasuke secretly gave Sakura a little "training" to prevent her from saying something that might cause trouble again.

Clearly, Sakura absorbed Sasuke's words verbatim, resulting in a significant change in her understanding.

At that moment, Naruto and Ino also came over.

Sakura greeted them in a similarly cheerful tone: "Naruto-kun, Ino, good morning!"

"Um... good morning." Naruto was also a little unaccustomed to Sakura's change.

"Wow, you've changed so much." Ino blinked and took Sakura's hand.

Sakura replied with a smile, "Sasuke said I'm more likable this way."

"I think so too," Ino said with a smile.
