Gojo Satoru scanned the people around him, feeling that the composure on everyone's face was incredibly suspicious.
Suggesting too many suspects, Gojo could only turn his attention back to the Dumplings, though this time he wasn't the only one thinking of teaching them how to speak.
A group of fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys, even if they usually dominate the world by kicking Cursed Spirits and punching Tailed Beasts, were rarely like children of this age at this moment, childishly taking turns teaching Panda how to speak.
When it was Naruto's turn, he had a sudden idea and began teaching Panda how to call out to his friends.
Sasuke..
You just can't forget that word, can you!
I'm going to beat this guy to death today, no one is going to stop me!
"Don't you think so, Sasuke? Eh? Eh??" Uzumaki Naruto turned his head to ask Uchiha Sasuke.
The others watched as Uchiha Sasuke, who had been protecting Uzumaki Naruto just a moment ago, suddenly lashed out, grabbing several items as if to strike Uzumaki Naruto.
What's going on? Why did these two suddenly start fighting? They exchanged questioning glances. Nobody knew; everyone's eyes gave the same answer.
At night, Yaga Masamichi returned to his room and went to check on the Cursed Corpse he had made immediately.
He never had children, so after creating Panda using a special method, he had always treated him like his own child.
He picked up Black and White Dumpling, looking at the Panda head in his arms with eyes full of love.
Black and White Dumpling's mouth twitched.
Is he hungry? Yaga-sensei thought as he took the pacifier out of Panda's mouth.
Unexpectedly, after the pacifier was removed, the little dumpling's mouth moved.
Friend!
??
Why would he say that? Yaga Masamichi's usually stern face was filled with confusion; he didn't remember teaching Panda that word.
A few more words were spat out immediately after.
I am the boss!
The pronunciation was perfectly clear and the voice was booming; Yaga Masamichi couldn't even pretend he had misheard it.
That catchphrase..
Case closed. The veins on Yaga Masamichi's forehead throbbed; it was that guy Gojo Satoru again.
It made sense; ever since Gojo Satoru started attending school, you could guess who was responsible for any trouble that occurred on campus without even having to think about it.
Yaga Masamichi angrily pulled up the surveillance footage, only to find in surprise that everyone was actually involved.
In the past, whenever something happened at the school, it was definitely caused by Gojo Satoru, or it was a joint effort by Geto Suguru and Gojo Satoru.
Now that there are several new first-year students, the destructive power of this group of students has instantly become ten times that of the former Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru.
Yaga Masamichi felt deeply that if he didn't send these four away, they would turn the school upside down.

Author's Note: Yaga-sensei: The weather is getting cooler; it's time to let the Husky out.
Gojo Satoru tilted his head to signal: Wait for my cue.

Chapter 60
If they can corrupt Panda today, they'll dare to tear the roof off tomorrow, wouldn't they be blowing up the school the day after?
Yaga Masamichi thought deeply that, for the sake of Panda—no, for the sake of the safety of the Jujutsu World, these students should be out there offering their strength to perform missions.
It just so happened that the matter regarding the Star Plasma Vessel had become urgent, providing a perfect opportunity to send those most likely to cause trouble out on a mission.
Who should be chosen to escort the Star Plasma Vessel? Yaga Masamichi pondered the suitable candidate in his mind.
The mission to protect the Star Plasma Vessel was special and must not suffer any mishaps. Originally, Geto Suguru and Gojo Satoru would have been sent; although they are only second-year students at Jujutsu High, their duo has no rivals at the school, might even be able to defeat the Special Grades of the Jujutsu World.
But through his observations during this period, he discovered that the new first-year students, Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke, could actually suppress Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru with ease.
Those are the Six Eyes, Limitless, Cursed Spirit Manipulation—any one of them alone could be a Special Grade ability!
Therefore, to ensure the mission is foolproof, all four should be sent.
Yaga Masamichi picked up a pen, preparing to write the four names on the mission notice, but after writing the names of Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru, his pen paused for a moment.
Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru, he had watched them for a year; although they had some minor flaws, they never made mistakes at critical moments. As for the newcomers, Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke, although they were strong, they had not been here for long, their true backgrounds were unknown.
Yaga Masamichi kept a solemn expression while thinking for a long time, in the end, he decided to go with the most reliable plan, sending only Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru.
He set the written mission report aside and sent messages to the other students except for Shoko, telling them to come and collect their missions.
Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru were the first to be notified and the first to arrive at the office.
Yaga Masamichi rested his chin in his hands, looking at the well-behaved Geto Suguru and the always-slouching Gojo Satoru before him.
I have said everything I needed to say. This mission is very important, so you must be extremely careful.
Don't worry!" Gojo Satoru leaned half his body against Geto Suguru, one hand pushing his hair back while the other pointed around arrogantly, "Suguru and I are the strongest!
A mission like this is nothing.
Alright, once you two have sorted things out, get moving, while you're at it, call those two people outside the door in." Yaga Masamichi ruthlessly interrupted Gojo Satoru's words. "Your teacher is still your teacher.
So, Uzumaki Naruto, who was waiting outside, saw Gojo Satoru poke his head out and beckon him over.
What's up?
"Yaga." The moment Gojo Satoru uttered those two words, he felt a gaze piercing his back like thorns. ".. Sensei is calling you." He tactfully added the respectful title.
"Sensei," x2.
Troublemaker Number Two has appeared!
Yaga raised his head and stared at the two of them in silence, his gaze making them feel uneasy, nearly scaring Naruto into blurting out the fact that he had climbed over the wall to the cafeteria for food in the middle of the night.
Fortunately, his actions in the next second prevented Naruto from exposing himself. Yaga directly took the top mission sheet from the mission board next to him and handed it over.
“This is the mission you're taking on this time. I hope you both can return safely.”
Yaga Masamichi's voice was low and his expression serious, possessing the full dignity of a teacher. In the eyes of Uzumaki Naruto and Sasuke, he appeared much more reliable than Kakashi, who always looked so listless when they were younger, but little did they know that he was actually plotting something in his mind.
Sasuke took the mission briefing and scanned it quickly; a small mountain village had been experiencing disappearances among tourists, now, the villagers were starting to go missing there as well.
The Reconnaissance Department reported that there were faint cursed energy reactions, possibly something like a Grounded Spirit, rated at Grade 3.
It looked unremarkable, not as unconventional as their first mission, there was no particularly intense presence.
This mission was carefully selected by Yaga-sensei and wasn't particularly difficult; even the other two, who weren't very strong, could handle it. However, the advantage of this mission was its location—it was in a remote small mountain village, the round trip alone would take at least two days!
Not to mention the time required for investigation and exorcising Cursed Spirits.
It can perfectly avoid the mission of escorting the Star Plasma Vessel!
Naruto and Sasuke didn't know the intricacies of the matter, so they naturally accepted the mission without objection.
Not bad, everything was going according to plan. Yaga nodded with satisfaction; the biggest unstable factor had been eliminated, he waved his hand to signal that the two could head out.
As the two of them stepped out, they happened to run into their first-year classmates, Nanami and Haibara.
Nanami, Haibara!" Naruto waved to them. "We've been assigned a mission, so we're heading out first!
Haibara also waved at him with a smile, Nanami nodded to them, which served as a greeting.
The four of them brushed past each other like that.
Uchiha Sasuke tilted his head, faintly hearing the voices of two people explaining to Yaga Masamichi after entering the room that there was another mission.
He found it somewhat strange that all the first and second-year students were being sent out at once, he made a mental note of it.
One could say this mission deserved its reputation as a carefully selected mountain village; it was indeed far enough, its exact geographic location wasn't even clearly marked on the map, making transportation extremely inconvenient.
The two set off in the morning and arrived at this small mountain village after a long, bumpy ride in the Assistant Supervisor's vehicle. If they hadn't been completely lost and needed someone to guide them, Uzumaki Naruto and Sasuke would have left the person behind long ago and used Body Flicker to make their way there.
Although the environment was far from comfortable, both of them had endured hardships since childhood and had undergone all sorts of training, so this level of discomfort was nothing to them. As the car jolted along, Naruto fell asleep. Sasuke had initially remained alert, but he couldn't resist the sound of the person beside him; the breathing was so calm and steady that it was infectious. As he listened, he couldn't help but fall asleep as well.
Or perhaps he fell asleep simply because the person beside him was Uzumaki Naruto.
When the Assistant Supervisor drove the car to their destination and looked back, he found that the two of them had fallen asleep with their heads leaning against each other at some unknown point.
Because they had been driving all day, it was already evening. The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the car window onto their two sleeping faces, making even the fine peach fuzz look languid.
The Assistant Supervisor walked over, originally intending to call them, but seeing this scene, he couldn't help but pause and watch for a while.
"Still just two children," he thought with a sigh, before ultimately calling the two of them to get up.
Uchiha Sasuke was far more sensitive than Naruto; the Assistant Supervisor had woken up shortly after being born, only to see Naruto leaning against him.
"Get up!" Uchiha Sasuke unceremoniously pushed Uzumaki Naruto, who was leaning against him, causing him to tumble.
My head hurts so much!" Uzumaki Naruto said, rubbing the bump on his head as he got off the vehicle. "It's all your fault, Sasuke! Why did you push me so hard? You made me hit my head!
Uchiha Sasuke walked ahead with an expressionless face, feeling not the slightest bit of guilt for it.
This bastard actually had the nerve to say that, when his head was so heavy and resting right on his shoulder, making it feel numb, sore, painful.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, he couldn't help but shoot a cold glare at Uzumaki Naruto from the corner of his eye.
Of course, this cold glare, which didn't even carry any killing intent, was nothing to Uzumaki Naruto, who had fought to the death with Sasuke countless times; he didn't feel a thing.
He just thought to himself that Sasuke was indeed very easy to anger, but since he was Sasuke's [only] friend, he naturally chose to forgive him!
(Sasuke: Do you dare to remove the word "friend"?)
I have already notified the people in the village; they will be waiting at the village gate," the Assistant Supervisor said to Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke while standing by the car. "Once you two have completed the mission, I will come back to pick you up.
After saying this, he hesitated slightly, his expression solemn.
I wish you both all the best.
