Naruto Dream Fulfillment Master!

Chapter 21 Listen to Mom, and I'll be number 1 in the whole school?

On the screen.

Led by Kushina, Naruto continued toward the gathering place of the Uchiha clan.

They hadn't walked far when they saw a spacious Uchiha mansion in the distance.

That was Sasuke's house.

The usually quiet mansion is now brightly decorated with lanterns and festive banners hanging at the entrance, as if some important banquet is being held.

At this moment, a number of people had gathered in front of the courtyard gate, and it was quite lively with people coming and going.

Wow—so many people!

Naruto opened his eyes wide and stared curiously ahead.

He knew that the Uchiha were a powerful and prosperous clan, but this was the first time he had ever witnessed such a grand scene.

Kushina explained with a smile, "The Uchiha clan is the largest clan in Konoha. When the clan leader holds a banquet, many people will come to offer their congratulations."

Naruto nodded and looked at the bustling crowd.

At the entrance of the Uchiha mansion, two figures stood, welcoming the visiting guests.

Judging from the distance, they appeared to be two Uchiha clan members, one tall and one short, but because they were still quite far apart, their faces could not be clearly seen at first glance.

Naruto guessed that the shorter one was probably Sasuke.

Today's celebration is mostly related to him, after all, Sasuke has only recently graduated from the Ninja Academy.

Who is the other figure, who is slightly taller than Sasuke?

As Naruto followed his mother closer, he was filled with speculation.

Meanwhile, small, scattered chatter could be heard from the surrounding area; these were conversations among the people attending the banquet.

"I heard that the clan chief, Fugaku, is preparing to semi-retire, and the position of police chief will be handed over to his eldest son."

"Really? It seems like it'll be announced at this celebration banquet?"

"After all, I heard that his eldest son recently awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan. Haha, double happiness!"

"Chief Fugaku is truly blessed to have two such outstanding sons."

"That's right! The eldest son awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan at such a young age, and the younger son graduated from the Ninja Academy with the second-highest score in the entire school. At this rate, the Uchiha clan is going to rise to prominence."

These whispers drifted intermittently into Naruto's ears.

He walked ahead, only partially understanding what was being said, but he grasped the general meaning.

The adults weren't speaking loudly, and he didn't quite understand the first part of their sentences, but the last sentence pierced his ears clearly:

"My youngest son graduated second in the entire school..."

"Um?"

Naruto paused, a look of confusion on his face.

Second in the whole school?

Sasuke?

Naruto frowned slightly, thinking to himself: Although Sasuke is a bit of a show-off, I acknowledge his strength.

He remembered very clearly that Sasuke graduated with the highest score in the entire school among his graduating class!

Where did the "second" come from?

Completely baffled, he looked up at his mother and asked, "Mom, Sasuke only got second place? Who came in first?"

Kushina was taken aback by his words: "Huh?"

She looked down at her son in surprise.

The next second, Kushina's eyebrows shot up, and feigning anger, she flicked Naruto's forehead hard with her finger: "You brat, what nonsense are you spouting!"

"Ouch--!"

Naruto rubbed his forehead, which stung from the flick, and took a half-step back, looking aggrieved. "Mom, why did you hit me?!"

He looked up at Kushina with a pitiful expression, not understanding what he had said wrong.

Kushina stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at her son with feigned sternness: "Naruto, how could you ask such a question in that sarcastic tone? Who did you learn that from! Aren't you number one? Why are you asking who others are! Don't talk like that again, it's so rude!"

"Huh?!" Naruto was stunned. "The... the first... is me?"

He pointed to himself in shock, his face filled with disbelief: "Mom, you mean I'm the top student in the whole school? You're not kidding, are you?"

in the audience.

Seeing Naruto's shocked reaction on the screen, Sakura Haruno couldn't help but show a look of disgust: "Tch—Naruto just loves to daydream like that!"

In her opinion, it was incredibly imaginative for Naruto in her dream to make himself the number one, surpassing Sasuke.

It also fits Naruto's show-off, foolish personality.

Kakashi, standing to the side, remained silent, his eyes filled with even deeper thought.

Naruto becomes number one in his dream, which on the surface seems to be a manifestation of his subconscious desire, but all indications suggest that this dream is far more complex than that.

Kakashi thoughtfully stroked his chin, feeling as if he had grasped some key clues.

As for Sasuke, he had no interest in such trivial matters as whether Naruto was number one.

His entire focus was on the two figures at the entrance of the Uchiha mansion in the picture.

As Naruto and Kushina drew closer, their appearances gradually became clearer.

Sasuke held his breath, his heart pounding.

One of the figures was indeed young Uchiha Sasuke, standing upright in front of the door—himself from the dream. And the other person standing beside him, greeting guests…

Sasuke stared intently at the man's face, as if his soul were about to fly through the screen.

In the hazy light, it was a handsome young man with black hair tied in a low ponytail, a Konoha headband on his forehead, and a gentle and composed expression.

He was wearing Uchiha clan attire and had a fan-shaped clan emblem pinned to his chest, clearly indicating that he was a member of the Uchiha clan.

Those refined features, that serene demeanor—

It's him!

Sasuke's pupils contracted sharply, and he froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.

Even after many years, he still recognized the face he had been longing for at a glance.

"...?!"

Sasuke's voice was hoarse as he stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the young man standing calmly smiling at the doorway in the video.

That was the person he knew best yet was also the most unfamiliar to.

Itachi Uchiha, his older brother.

[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Sasuke have been detected! Emotional value +2000!]

"That's impossible!"

Sasuke cried out, his voice breaking from overwhelming excitement.

His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Uchiha Itachi, who had appeared in his dream, his mind reeling.

That traitor who cruelly murdered his entire clan and his parents actually appeared in Naruto's dream, and even greeted guests at a banquet at his home with his clan.

"No...it can't be! Why would he be here!"

Sasuke completely lost control of his emotions, his breathing became so rapid that he could barely catch his breath.

Sakura blinked, puzzled. "Who is that person?"

As an outsider, she did not recognize Itachi Uchiha.

Kakashi stared silently at the screen and sighed softly.

He knew, of course, who the young man standing at the door was, and he also knew what this person meant to Sasuke.

Seeing Sasuke on the verge of collapse, he was about to offer words of comfort when Sasuke suddenly roared, "This is all fake!! Fake!!"

Sasuke's voice was hoarse, almost choked with sobs, and there was a faint red glint in his eyes.

He tried desperately to deny everything he saw, as if that would drive away the raging storm in his heart.

That figure...

in the audience.

Sasuke's chest heaved violently, and emotions such as sadness, anger, and grief swirled wildly in his eyes.

Sakura was stunned by his appearance and didn't dare to ask any more questions for a moment.

And the dream on the screen continues...
