Chapter 40 - Chapter 40

Tap tap tap…

Ye Wu Di didn't hold back—strutted to the front rows, plopped down.

Flashed Hinata a sunny grin:

"Hinata, you hungry? I'm starving."

"Eh? Brother Wu Di's hungry? Here~ My love bento~"

Before all eyes—Hinata grabbed her bento, popped a sushi into Ye Wu Di's mouth.

Ino—not outdone—snatched her morning-brewed tea.

But her feeding style? A billion bits off from normal!

Under Hinata and class's stares, Ino sipped tea…

Then—

Eh?

What tea?!

So smooth, so springy…

Gulp gulp.

All watched—Ino charged, mouth-fed Ye Wu Di tea.

Classroom exploded.

Shrieks—ceiling nearly blown off!

"Whoa! What's this?! Ye Wu Di snags Hinata, now Ino too?!"

"You guys get it? Wu Di's charm, Wu Di's joy—you don't understand!"

"Right! If Hinata and Ino weren't clan girls we can't beat, forget mouth-feeding—I'd use other parts!"

"…"

Crowd chattered—Sakura scoffed, disgusted.

But her eyes flicked Ye Wu Di, sizing him vs. Sasuke.

"Tch—just showing off. My love for Sasuke? Pure."

"Hmph! Sasuke-kun's the hottest—Ye Wu Di's nothing!"

Ding! Congratulations, Host, for earning 999 points of negative emotions from Sakura Haruno!

Ding! Congratulations, Host, for earning 999 points of negative emotions from Student XXX!

Ding! Congratulations, Host, for earning…

Class erupted—Sakura fumed.

Hinata—face blazed, steam billowed.

"Ino—h-how could you… kiss my Brother Wu Di!"

Never imagined—Ino mouth-feeding her Wu Di!

Hinata's shy rage—Ino smacked lips, leaned into Ye Wu Di, teased Hinata:

"Yah~ Hinata's adorable! Want me to feed you tea?"

"So cute—I'd love to feed you~"

Ino closed in—Hinata's brain flashed Ino tea-feeding her…

Crash—mind froze.

Wahhh!

Steam skyrocketed—bullet train on rails, Hinata dizzy.

But—no faint!

No way~ I can't lose to Ino! I guard my Wu Di!

Yah~ Wu Di, I'm coming!

"Wow!"

Ino's teasing smirk, all eyes on—

Hinata stuffed sushi in her mouth, charged Ye Wu Di—mouth-fed!

Ino can? I can!

To protect Wu Di—go all out!

"Wu Di~ Hinata's here!"

"…"

Hinata's move—class stilled one second.

Then detonated!

Even next-next classroom stirred!

"Aaah! Mom, my eyes—blind! Dad, school tricked this single dog to slaughter—I'm out! But… so thrilling."

"Can't get it—Ye Wu Di's just hot, fast, strong… what else?"

"Exactly! Hinata and Ino goddesses are blinded! Wait—next class, get out! Our class's dog food—you don't deserve!"

Ding! Congratulations, Host, for earning 999 points of negative emotions from Student XXX!

Ding! Congratulations, Host, for earning 999 points of negative emotions from Student XXX!

Ding! Congratulations, Host, for earning…

Boys crushed, girls envious.

Truant Four—Choji, Kiba, Shikamaru, Naruto—spotted a threat nearing Ye Wu Di.

Sasuke!

Why immune to nerve-shocking scene, still scanning?

Choji: Women? Tastier than cumin chips? Munch munch—chips rule~

Kiba: Women? Cuter than Akamaru? Nope—why bother?

Shikamaru: So boring… when can I nap?

Naruto: Train! Train! Gotta snag boss's advanced god-book!

"Kiba, Choji, Shikamaru—Sasuke's up to something! He's after my boss!"

To guard boss, shine for him, get that god-book ASAP—

Naruto's all-in for Wu Di!

"Scared of what? Munch—Sasuke can't beat Wu Di. Cumin chips? God-tier~"

"Right! Akamaru, say it—Wu Di wins! Woof woof~"

Akamaru: ???

"Don't stress—Wu Di's fine. Let me nap~"

Truant Three useless—Naruto's face heroic.

Boss's top lackey? Gotta lead the charge!

Naruto stood, sprinted full force at Sasuke.

"Only I guard boss!"

"Sasuke! Stay away!"

"Aaagh!"

Naruto's yell—rushed Sasuke.

Noisy class hushed.

All eyes snapped to Naruto closing on Sasuke.

Even Sasuke—glanced sideways.

"Hm?"

"Sasuke—I won't let you touch my boss!"

"Eat my flying kick!"

"…"

Naruto's flawed yell-before-attack move—Sasuke ignored.

Shook head, kept walking.

As Naruto neared—

Sasuke sidestepped—casual dodge.

Naruto? Crashed—desk between Ye Wu Di and Sasuke.

"Ow ow ow…"

"Idiot."

Naruto's stunt—Sasuke spat two words, strode toward Ye Wu Di.

Sasuke kept coming—Naruto clenched fists, glared.

"I'm no idiot—I'm Naruto Uzumaki! Man to be Hokage!"

"Sasuke—wanna pass? Beat me first!"

"Duel me, Sasuke!"

"…"
