56 Chapter 55:- Graduation [1]
"Sara-chan, what happened? Are you right?" Naruto had chased after her and came here.
Sarada was surprised to see him behind her. Before she left, he was so busy greeting and complimenting other girls that she thought that he wouldn't follow her.
But she was wrong. Naruto really cared for her and this is why he followed her out of the classroom.
Naruto did not want to see her sad and gloomy on the special occasion. He wanted her to smile, just like others. He wanted her to be happy.
"Nothing!!" Sarada replied in a cold tone. Her tone was colder than usual. She kind of sounded mad.
Naruto was now sure that something was definitely wrong with her. Naruto sat next to her without saying any words.
Sarada was slightly surprised to see him sitting next to her.
For a while, she did not say any words to him.
After a few minutes, she asked. "Why are you here? I thought you would be in the class busy complimenting different girls." Her tone was slightly warmer than before, but she still sounded mad at him.
Hearing her words, Naruto finally understood what was wrong with her.
Naruto grinned hearing her words. "Sara-chan, don't tell me that you are feeling jealous because I did not compliment you," Naruto asked with a smile.
Saying that he leaned forward and brought his face closer to her.
Sarada blushed. She looked away to save her face.
Hmph!!!!
All Naruto heard from her was her usual snort.
"Sara-chan, you always look beautiful."
Hearing his words, she was really happy, but she did not show it on her face. Instead, she snorted again.
"Hmph!!! Lair!!!!"
"I am not lying. I have traveled to almost every part of this world. I have been to all the nations. I have seen countless women. You are one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen in my whole life." It was only after she heard these words that she felt a little bit better.
"Hmph!!! You're forgiven." Sarada had a deep red blush on her beautiful face.
Naruto did not say anything else after that. He waited for her to speak, as he felt that she had something on her mind. Naruto knew this because, in the last six months, he had grown to know her very well. It wasn't her personality to act this way.
After a long, comfortable silence, she spoke again.
"Naruto, I have always dreamed of my graduation day since I was young. I also wanted my family to be there for me on such a special day." Sarada wasn't looking at Naruto, but he knew that she had tears in her eyes. Her voice was choked.
"Seeing everyone with their parents I really miss my parents today." Sarada was sure that if her mother were alive then her mother would never let her come to school wearing such simple clothes.
"Sara-chan...…..!!!!" Without saying any words, he tightly hugged her. He buried her face on his chest and then gently stroked the back of her head.
After crying for a while, she finally calmed down.
"Actually, Mom had prepared something for you to wear. But this morning we woke up a little late so I did not have the time to come and deliver it to your house." Saying that Naruto took out a black square-shaped box from his storage scroll.
Naruto couldn't tell her that they had forgotten about this matter because early in the morning they were busy having sex.
"Thank you....!!!" Sarada blushed while taking the black box.
"You can thank me by wearing this beautiful dress instead," Naruto said with a wink.
"Hmph!!!!...."
"Alright, you back. I will return to the classroom once I am done changing my dress."
On his way back to the class, Naruto saw Hanabi walking alone.
"Oh....Naruto-kun, where did you go?" She asked.
"Washroom...!!!" Naruto purposely left his conversation with Sarada a secret. Besides, Naruto had grown mature enough to understand that sometimes saying the truth could get him in trouble, especially in the case of a woman.
Today Hanabi and Hinata were wearing the same type of Kimono. Their Kimonos were black. The Kimono really suited her. Along with that, she also had tied her hair into a ponytail. This hairstyle completely showed Hanabi's face. She even put a little bit of makeup on her face to look good today.
Seeing Naruto staring at her, Hanabi felt satisfied. Hanabi woke up very early in the morning just to get ready, especially for Naruto. Though she would never say it to anyone.
"How do I look?" Hanabi asked.
"Hana-chan, you look really pretty." Hearing this, her cheeks slightly turned red.
"Oh...really....!!! Do I look even better than my sister?" Hanabi took a step forward and asked with a teasing smile.
Hanabi had purposefully asked him a difficult question. She wanted to see how he was going to handle this situation. Even though there was a high chance that his answer might disappoint her and break her heart.
Without saying a word, Naruto stepped forward and gently poked her forehead with his index and middle finger.
"Don't ask such silly questions. Hina-chan and you looked really beautiful. Choosing one over another is impossible for me." Saying that Naruto returned to class.
Meanwhile, Hanabi was holding her forehead. She had a massive blush on her face. It was nothing but a simple poke on the forehead yet this made her blush like this.
Ever since that festival, Hanabi's thoughts regarding Naruto have been really complex. Thinking about him her mind was a mess.
At first, she willingly got closer to Naruto so that she would help her introverted sister get closer to Naruto. But since that festival, something inside her about Naruto had completely changed. Her emotions were a mess. When she thought of Naruto being with her sister or with other women, she felt her heart tighten. She felt discomfort in her heart.
She did not mean to ask Naruto to pick between her and her sister. She herself did not know why she asked Naruto such questions.
'Why did I ask him that?' Hanabi wondered.

"Naruto-kun, where did you go?" Sakura asked.
"To the bathroom. So when will the ceremony begin?" Naruto asked Sakura.
"I am not sure....!!!!" Sakura replied in an uncertain tone.
"The official ceremony will begin another hour or two later," Ino replied.
"I see. I guess till then we will need to wait in our." The Hokage was currently giving a speech to the new academy students who had passed the entrance exam. Once that was done, it would be the senior's turn.
"I really hope that we will be in the same squad." Imaging Naruto in her squad, Ino could not help but giggle. She would have a ton of time to spend with Naruto without anyone interrupting them.
"No, Naruto-kun and I will be in the same squad." Sakura grabbed Naruto's hand and said.
"Yeah.....Yeah.....!!! You can keep dreaming. Naruto-Kun and I will be in the same squad." Ino grabbed Naruto's other hand and said.
"That won't happen, Ino-pig....!!!!" Both girls then glared at each other and snorted before looking away.
Seeing this Naruto sighed. One thing that still hadn't changed even after six months of time was their catfights. And somehow Naruto always found himself in the middle of their catfights.
Just like the girls, the boys were also hoping to be in the same squad as Naruto. Over the six months of time, Naruto had become their close friend. He was their best friend. Naruto was loved by everyone.
Whether it was Shikamaru or Choji or Kiba or Shino, all wanted to be with Naruto. They felt if they were in the same squad as Naruto then things would be more convenient and more fun. With Naruto around, things will be lively. Not to mention the fact that Naruto was a really strong and also dependable person.
Sitting in the corner near the window Hinata shyly looked at Naruto. 'I hope that Naruto-kun, Hanabi, and I will be in the same squad.' This is what Hinata was wishing for. Hanabi he was also wished for the same thing to happen.
Even if Naruto wasn't in their squad, she at least wanted Naruto to be with a complete boy squad so that no girls could spend any time with Naruto and get close to him.
While Naruto was surrounded by Sakura and Ino, he suddenly disappeared from their view and reappeared behind Hinata.
"You look cute....!!!" He whispered into her ear.
Kya.....!!!!
Hinata was startled. Noticing that it was Naruto, Hinata's whole face turned red.
"Naru....to-kun...!!!"
