11 Confrontation! Outcast vs. Mutt!

"Alright everyone, that'll be it for now. Enjoy your break, we'll continue this later" Their instructor, Umino Iruka said as he walked out of the class.

As soon as he did that the scene of students getting up loudly to leave and enjoy their break didn't happen. Instead everyone stayed seated as they looked back and forth between Uzumaki Naruto and Yamanaka Ino.

Not intending to stay any further, Uchiha Sasuke stood up and left the room. Most girls wanted to follow after him but their gossip side held them back, they couldn't help but stay in hopes of finding out some juicy stories.

'...' Naruto also saw this, so he glanced at the window that was open. Calculating something he stood up quickly before grabbing the bento and escaped through the window. Pumping chakra into his legs while also invoking the tree walking exercise, he escaped to the roof of the academy.

Of course no one saw him as everything happened too fast. At most, they would think he jumped down and ran off somewhere, not use something as advanced as Tree walking exercise. They would never believe that the dead last was capable of mastering such advanced techniques.

"Wah! The dobe left!"

"Where!"

"Chase after him!!"

A few seconds later, everyone was finally able to react and groups of boys ran to the window to try and find the figure of the red head. Hoping to catch a glimpse of his figure and find out where he went.

"Ah, if only I have a ninken right now!" Inuzuka Kiba said as he found no traces of Naruto.

"Whatever, I'll just have to trust my nose finding him!" Kiba said as he run off.

"Hey Ino! What was that all about?!" Sakura asked as she approached her ex-best friend. Following behind her were a group of girls, who were also Uchiha Sasuke fangirls.

"Yeah, you completely ignored Sasuke-sama the whole time!"

"Do you not like Sasuke-sama anymore because if so, we'll happily support you" One girl said as she crossed her fingers. Ino was a clan heiress so she had the best shot out of all of them to marry Uchiha Sasuke.

"Yeah, Ino. Don't tell me you suddenly like the dead last!" Another girl chimed in, although she said it jokingly she suddenly stopped laughing as she saw Ino blush and turn away.

"Wait really!?" She along with a few others exclaimed "How?!"

"I don't see a reason why I should tell you all!?" Ino said as she suddenly stood up, "Besides, aren't you all happy that there's one less competition."

Leaving it at that, Ino left the class. As much as she wanted to talk about how Naruto saved her and make all the girls jealous that something out a fairy tale happened to her, she held it in. Naruto was seemingly more skilled than he let on, so she would respect his decision to hide his skills. That and she didn't want him to hate her or suddenly get competition.

"What is this?" Naruto asked at the opened bento in front of him. The food didn't look right, inside were three deformed rice balls and what seemed to be a salad of random vegetables mixed in.

'.....'

'Well, not like I'm going to complain. Food is food' Naruto thought as he took one of the rice balls and bit into it.

"Uwah! Sour!" He said as he looked at the fillings inside the rice ball. It was filled to the brim with pickled plums. 'Aren't you supposed to only put a small serving of it inside the rice ball? Why is it filled to the brim!' Naruto thought as he took some out. At the very least it was salvageable, all he needed to do were get rid of the excess pickled plums.

After he was done eating that he moved onto the next two rice balls. To his surprise they were normal and Ino filling them to the brim was a plus this time as they were normal fillings. One was salted salmon and the other was tuna.

Just as he was about to start eating the salad the rooftop door burst open to reveal a group of boys.

"Hey, dobe! Share some with us!"

"Hey, who gave you permission to eat that?!"

Various shouts towards Naruto were made. He could tell right away it was due to jealousy, he could feel it oozing off of them. He looked and saw one of them approach, the one who was in front and was leading them. Inuzuka Kiba.

"Hey, loser! Gimme that!" He said as he walked towards Naruto to try and snatch it but Naruto just stood up and ignored him. Taking the bento with him, he turned around and started walking away.

"Hey! Don't ignore me!" The Inuzuka said as he ran after Naruto and grabbed his shoulder. Turning Naruto around he tried to quickly get the bento only for Naruto to move it back. But in the process his hand slipped and it fell to the ground. With the remaining salad spilling onto the floor.

"Hey! Look what you did, now it's wasted" Kiba said getting angry. He was an alpha! He was supposed to be the one eating that food, Naruto was below him, so in the heirarchy he was supposed to give Kiba the bento. Not only did Naruto not listen but he ate more than half and let the remainders get wasted.

He was about to scold the boy more when he suddenly heard a cold voice in front of him.

"I was going to eat that" Kiba looked as Naruto looked at him coldly. Though to Kiba it was a look of challenge. 'How dare you look at your alpha like that!'

"Naruto... you, as the alpha, I'm going to discipline you!" Kiba said as he didn't like the look Naruto was giving him.

Naruto as well was pissed. Kiba was a douchebag, he knew that. But he didn't even interact with the boy apart from class spars yet the boy seemed to show hostility towards him. Always going out of his way to antagonize or mock him.

"What a coincidence, I was thinking the same thing..." Naruto said as he tensed his body. Preparing it for a quick fight... he didn't bother using chakra. Was the Inuzuka even worth making him use his reserves?

No he wasn't, apart from the Uchiha and maybe the Hyuuga, no one else in the class seemed to know how to utilize chakra when sparring.
