The Heavens: From Naruto to sign in

Uzumaki Naruto had originally felt a hint of hostility toward Yoruha.

But now…

Yoruha had just said, in front of everyone, that Naruto could become Hokage one day!

At that moment, Naruto was nearly moved to tears.

A soulmate!Someone finally believes in me!

His heart swelled with emotion.

"Yoruha, you're a good guy!" Naruto beamed, baring his teeth as he gave Yoruha a thumbs-up. "Since you think so highly of me, we're real friends from now on!"

He even blinked dramatically, his expression bearing an uncanny resemblance to Might Guy in full passionate mode.

Yoruha nodded in amusement, giving Naruto a warm smile in return.

Being acknowledged by Naruto wasn't a bad thing at all.

After all, in the future…

If I run into someone I can't talk down or fight off,I can just say: I've got Genin Naruto, the boy who can talk no jutsu anything into submission!

After this public show of mutual respect, Naruto turned and charged up to Sasuke again.

With the same boastful swagger, he jabbed his finger toward Sasuke's chest and declared:

"Hey, Sasuke! Did you hear that? I'm gonna become Hokage one day! That means I'm definitely gonna defeat you too!"

Sasuke didn't even glance at him.

He turned his face away with a cold scoff.

"Tch… ignoring me, huh?" Naruto grumbled, frowning. "You mean you don't believe me?"

Still refusing to make eye contact, Sasuke muttered with disdain:

"You? Become Hokage? Don't make me laugh. Idiots like you should stop dreaming."

To Sasuke, the very idea was absurd.

In his world, there was only one person worthy of becoming Hokage—

Uchiha Itachi.

No one else even came close.

Naruto, of course, completely missed the insult's weight.

He folded his arms across his chest and strutted into Sasuke's line of sight again.

"Tch. Didn't you hear what Yoruha just said? He thinks I'm Hokage material!""And you know what? Yoruha's number one in the class! Since number one respects me, how can you—number two—not?"

At that statement, everyone in the classroom collectively facepalmed.

Bro, what kind of logic is that?

You're still dead last, Naruto.Number two could easily crush you like a bug.

How confident do you have to be to float this high with no lift beneath you?

Sasuke's cold gaze slid toward Yoruha.

Him again… Yoruha…

When Sasuke had returned home the night before, his father already knew the results of the entrance exams.

Sasuke hadn't even gotten both feet in the door before Fugaku looked at him—and let out a long, silent sigh.

That single look had said everything.

"There's still a gap between you and Itachi."

Sasuke had felt that wound deeply.

Yes, he admired Itachi more than anyone.Yes, he accepted that his older brother was on another level.

But he was still a child.

He still desperately craved his father's approval.

And once again, he had failed to earn it.

And the reason?

Yoruha.

Why did this guy even exist?

If there was already an Uchiha Sasuke…Why did the world need a Yoruha too?

Fueled by frustration, Sasuke shoved Naruto aside, stood up, and walked coolly over to Yoruha.Hands in his pockets, he stared directly into Yoruha's eyes.

His voice dropped into a low, serious tone.

"Yoruha Yamanaka… I, Uchiha Sasuke, will never lose to you.""Just wait. I'll show you the difference between an ordinary mortal—""—and a true Uchiha."

Zzzzzhhhhh…

The tension between the two boys sparked like a live wire.Their intense gazes collided like lightning bolts.

The entire classroom erupted.

KYAAAAAAA!!!

Every fangirl present exploded with excitement.

"Too intense!""So cool!""They're both too handsome—how do I even choose?!"

On one side was Yoruha: kind, sunny, powerful, easygoing, and humble.

On the other was Sasuke: cold, brooding, sharp-edged, and arrogant.

"But also very, very hot!"

It was an impossible decision.

So charming! So dramatic! So hard to choose!
