Several seconds later, Naruto finally came to his senses, his face flushed red with ecstasy. Looking at Sakura, who was gazing at him with such affection, he felt like he was floating on air.
Happiness comes too suddenly!
He tried his best to maintain his image as a young master with exceptional skills, cleared his throat, and said as calmly as possible, "Ahem... Since, since you, Sakura-chan, have said so... well, since you're so sincere... I... I might as well consider it... Wahahaha!!"
In the end, he couldn't hold back any longer, put his hands on his hips, looked up at the sky, and let out a deafening burst of wild laughter.
boom! ! !
In the audience, Sakura Haruno, in reality, felt her reason completely extinguished.
She suddenly stood up from her seat, veins bulging on her fair forehead, and her emerald green eyes almost spitting fire!
It was as if Ryougi had possessed him; his slender pink fists were clenched so tightly they cracked, and his knuckles turned white!
"Naruto!!!! You hopeless idiot and loser!!! How dare you have such a dream?! Aaaaaaah!!! I'm going to kill you!!!"
The girl's roar was filled with boundless killing intent!
If they weren't in this bizarre space, she would have rushed up immediately and beaten Naruto to a pulp.
[Ding! Sakura Haruno's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +1000!]
Compared to Sakura's fury, Sasuke looked disgusted, as if he had seen something extremely filthy. He even subconsciously moved to the side, distancing himself from Sakura.
boring……
Those two idiots...
Kakashi shook his head helplessly and held his forehead with his hand.
[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +400!]
The dream on the screen continues.
Sakura, who had been "reluctantly" accepted by Naruto's confession, now clung tightly to Naruto's arm like a little bird, and said in a sickeningly sweet voice, "Great! Young Master Naruto, then... then let's go on a date now, I want to go shopping!"
"Of course, no problem! Wherever Sakura-chan wants to go, I'll go with you!"
In his dream, Naruto felt like a winner in life, and with a wave of his hand, he agreed with great confidence.
So, the two of them held hands sweetly and left the training ground, arriving at the bustling streets of Konoha Village.
Soon, Naruto discovered something even stranger.
In the past, when he walked down the street, he was always greeted by the villagers' stares, which were filled with fear, disgust, vigilance, or indifference.
He was treated as if he were some kind of plague or monster, and everyone avoided him like the plague.
But today...
"Oh my! Isn't this young master Naruto? You look great today." A vegetable vendor greeted him warmly and handed him a big, red tomato.
"Young Master Naruto, shouldn't you get some new clothes? Come and take a look at our store, we'll give you a 20% discount!" The clothing store owner waved to him with a smile.
even……
A gentle woman in a red kimono, holding the hand of a five- or six-year-old boy, walked up to Naruto with a smile of utmost respect and admiration on her face.
"Young Master Naruto, hello." The woman bowed respectfully first, then pulled over the somewhat timid little boy beside her and said to him, "Ryota! Look, this is Young Master Naruto. You must take Young Master Naruto as your role model, train hard, and become a great ninja like him! Do you understand?"
The little boy nodded as if he understood, looking at Naruto with eyes full of admiration.
The woman then turned to Naruto and asked with concern, "Young Master Naruto, have you been training hard lately? You must take care of yourself!"
Naruto was completely stunned.
He stood there, at a loss, feeling as if his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
This...what's going on?
The villagers... were all smiling at me?
Are they... concerned about me?
Are they... praising me?
He still calls me... Naruto-sama?
This this……
He had never experienced such treatment since he could remember.
He was always the one who was rejected, isolated, and treated like a monster.
An indescribable sense of happiness and satisfaction, like the warmest tide, instantly overwhelmed him.
His eyes welled up with tears uncontrollably, and his vision began to blur.
He couldn't even tell whether this was reality or a dream that was too beautiful to be true.
Although he also felt a little strange, why did everyone call him "Young Master"?
However, compared to this small question, the huge change in the villagers' attitude brought him an overwhelming sense of joy and happiness!
"Yes! Yes! Thank you for your concern, Auntie! I feel great! Cultivation isn't difficult at all!"
Naruto snapped out of his daze, rubbed his eyes hard, and a bright, genuine smile spread across his face. He awkwardly but happily responded to every villager who greeted him and expressed their goodwill.
He walked and strolled along, greeting each villager warmly, enjoying the warmth and recognition he had longed for.
[Ding! Naruto's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +2000!]
in the audience.
Sakura and Sasuke didn't feel anything special about the sight of Naruto being so beloved.
Sasuke grew up surrounded by the praise of his clan and the admiration of girls, so he was used to such scenes and even a little annoyed by them.
After her initial anger subsided, Sakura also found the scene somewhat boring.
"Honestly... isn't it boring to just keep greeting people like that?" she muttered to herself, even yawning.
Kakashi, however, felt a mix of emotions as he looked at Naruto on the screen, who was grinning like an idiot.
He sighed softly, his one exposed eye filled with complex emotions.
There was relief, sympathy, helplessness, and bitterness.
As one of the few people who knew Naruto's background and his true treatment in the village, Kakashi understood better than anyone how ironic Naruto's dream was when compared to reality.
This false happiness only serves to highlight the cruelty of reality.
[Ding! Kakashi Hatake's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
Naruto in his dream was still immersed in a great sense of happiness.
He felt as if he owned the whole world and had become the most popular person in the village.
The feeling was so wonderful that he didn't want to wake up.
He happily interacted with the villagers, sharing his joy, and time seemed to fly by.

……
The emotional value kept flowing in like water, making Shiyu, who was hiding in the shadows, grin from ear to ear.
Just as Naruto's happiness reached its peak, the sky gradually darkened.
A sudden change occurs!
Just as Naruto was smiling and preparing to say goodbye to the last enthusiastic villager and go home,
A hand suddenly reached out from behind him and grabbed his ear!
The force was so great that Naruto grimaced in pain.
"Ouch! Who is it?! Ouch, ouch, ouch!"
He was about to turn around to see who dared to pull "Young Master Naruto's" ear when a female voice, full of anger yet tinged with affection, boomed in his ear like thunder:
"Naruto!! I told you to go buy some soy sauce! Where did you go?! It's already dark and you're still not home!!"
With that roar, the scene before Naruto's eyes...
Like a television set whose signal has been cut off, everything went black instantly.
The dream has ended.
Chapter 3 is infuriating! I'm definitely going to beat Naruto up tomorrow!
The screen went completely dark.
The screening room returned to its previous dimness.
Sasuke and Sakura were both a little confused.
"That's... over?" Sakura blinked, still a little dazed.
The dream I just had was boring, but the ending was so abrupt!
"Hmph, what a boring dream." Sasuke crossed his arms and snorted, though he was actually full of doubts himself.
Who was that woman who suddenly appeared at the end?
Only Kakashi!
The instant the screen went black, he jumped up from his seat as if he had been electrocuted, his body trembling slightly from extreme shock.
His dead fish eyes were wide open, filled with disbelief.
That sound just now?
And that fleeting glimpse of red hair...
No! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Although the image flashed by in an instant, the long, fiery red hair and that unique roar...
But, how is this possible?
