Chapter 261: Anko's Suspicions
The exam continued. Many watched Sarada with tension, and someone, quite naturally, did not doubt her abilities, and there were a majority of them. How can one of the best students in the class suddenly fail? This seemed to be simply unacceptable. She was even trained by the Seventh Hokage himself! Here it is - a true indicator of her talent. This, as expected, caused not only admiration, but also envy.
Chōchō didn't worry about her friend at all, she didn't even worry about herself, completely convinced of her ability to pass this easy test. Her mother and father taught her a lot, long before joining the academy. Unlike many other fathers, Chōji gave his daughter a little more time than the same Shikamaru for his son. Although, it wasn't like he had a choice... Karui made him do absolutely whatever he wanted in anger. The day when he wished to marry her was the moment for him to enter into her eternal servants. In reality, Chōchō took this with a special amount of resentment and disappointment, but now she didn't really care. At the moment, she was looking at Naruto's face with interest, sinking deeper and deeper into her dreamy state:
"Such a handsome man ... Oh, if only he became my father!"
Not that she was an easy target, but... Someone would definitely take her thoughts as a clear weakness.
Among those present, Chōchō was the only one sitting close enough to Sarada to clearly see the two of them looking at each other. If not for a certain amount of naivete and inability to accept a decisive opinion, she could understand that Sarada's look contained not only obvious love, but also something more adult in it. Of course, there was more than enough love there, only, in addition to this, the radiance of youth was mixed with passion and lust, not inherent in a simple one-sided love. The same could be said about Naruto, in his eyes it was definitely not the usual concern for the student, in fact, pure passion and desire burned in them! If Sakura were here, she would be amazed at such a connection between her daughter and her close friend! These two looked at each other like true lovers, clearly aware of what awaits them in the very near future!
Of course, among those present there were also those who ignored Sarada or even flew in their thoughts, such as Shikadai or the thoughtful Inojin sometimes looking in Naruto's direction. The guy could not hold back a slight blush on his cheeks, and unclench his sweaty fists!
"Damn it... She's not just in love, it's already beyond normal. This can only happen if they... No, he can't...?" Turning to the calm Naruto, Anko frowned.
"He definitely couldn't! Even if he became strange, but even for him it is already too much. Although it's exciting, but... I don't think he would allow this relationship! They don't just cross the line, it's already dangerous... Only his gaze... He will definitely feel something for her, despite being a simple student... How to understand this?
Anko did not know what to think, she was the only one among those present who was able to draw conclusions closer to reality. But, she was very doubtful of her skills now, and Naruto was acting strange. Besides, how can you believe that the Hokage himself has a forbidden relationship with his own student, who was also the daughter of his best friends! This is too much...
Although, we have to admit, Anko just couldn't stop herself from thinking in this direction, quickly getting aroused by such gambling fantasies.
"Hee hee, did he really take the risk? My God... These are so romantic! If anyone finds out, huh... Too exciting!"
Remembering how Naruto had promised her something, Anko shuddered.
"But... Could it be? Curious..."
