Polar Opposites.

Chapter 3: Going Shopping.

In the morning, sunlight streamed through the windows of both Naruto and Sasuke's rooms. They both woke up and sat up in their beds.

Naruto experienced firsthand the true meaning of a "hectic day" as mentioned by Tengan the night before. Hectic alone couldn't accurately describe it; it was more like pure insanity and mind-blowing chaos, leaving him looking grumpy.

In contrast, Sasuke simply awoke peacefully, lying in his bed after the best night of sleep he had ever experienced. His good sleep put him in a good mood in the morning. He stretched his muscles as a warm-up for the day.

Then, Tengan knocked on Naruto's door and spoke, "Boy, are you awake? Can you open the door?" Tengan asked.

"Coming," Naruto replied, standing and walking to the door.

Naruto opened the door with an innocent expression and asked, "Yeah, what is it, Old Gramps?"

"Oh, I just wanted you to have this," Tengan said, handing him some clothes to wear. "It's only temporary for the time being."

Naruto smiled and inquired, "Oh, what's this, Old Gramps?"

"These are just some clothes that the academy provided," Tengan explained, giving Naruto the clothes. "You two can't go roaming around the city wearing that outfit," he said jokingly.

"Hey, what's wrong with this outfit?" Naruto pouted.

Tengan chuckled at Naruto's expression and said, "Here, take it," as Naruto accepted the clothes.

Tengan then smiled and said, "Okay, if you're done changing your clothes, go to the kitchen because dinner is ready," as he walked to Sasuke's room.

Halfway to Sasuke's door, he stopped and glanced at the blonde boy. "Oh, if you're done changing your clothes, come to the kitchen, I have something to tell you two about," Tengan said, continuing to walk to Sasuke's room.

"Okay, thanks..." Naruto said, closing the door.

Tengan knocked on Sasuke's door, and suddenly heard footsteps as the door opened. Sasuke was half-naked, shirtless when opening the door, his more muscular physique than a normal teenager evident.

"What do you want, old man?" Sasuke said in a stoic expression.

Tengan gave him a warm smile and said, "Oh, I just wanted to give you this," handing a bunch of clothes to Sasuke.

Sasuke raised an eyebrow and asked, "What is this?" in a curious tone as he took them.

"These are just some clothes that the academy provided earlier," Tengan said to Sasuke.

"Why, I don't need this," Sasuke said stoically.

"Are you sure you don't need it? Because you can't wear that outfit of yours," Tengan stated firmly.

"Why not," Sasuke responded.

"Because you can't wear that outfit of yours in the city; you will attract people's attention," Tengan explained to the dark-haired boy.

Sasuke didn't respond immediately; he seemed to be processing the old man's words, but then he took the clothes and closed the door. After he closed the door, Tengan stopped him and spoke.

"Oh, and if you're done changing your clothes, come to the kitchen. I have something to discuss with the two of you," Tengan said, walking away. Sasuke glanced for a moment, then closed the door.

As they wore the clothes Tengan provided, initially, Naruto and Sasuke were given clothes by Tengan. It was necessary for them not to walk around in their worn-out outfits to avoid attracting too much attention. Hope's Peak gave both Naruto and Sasuke new clothes to wear, provided by Jin Kirigiri.

Tengan gave them the new clothes given by Jin Kirigiri. Despite Sasuke being taller than Naruto, both of them, being physically strong, found it challenging to fit into the clothes that Tengan offered them.

Naruto was now dressed in a white t-shirt and light brown shorts, while Sasuke wore a black long-sleeved and navy blue jogging pants. They both went outside their rooms and saw each other.

Sasuke and Naruto looked at each other for a moment, and Naruto spoke. "Good morning, Sasuke. How was your night?" He said with a smile.

Sasuke folded his arms and replied, "Better. How about yours?" He said with a stoic expression.

"The worst. I had a really bad night," Naruto muttered with a grumpy face.

"Hmph... Sucks to be you," Sasuke retorted in a mocking tone.

Naruto frowned irritably and said, "Screw you, Sasuke," clearly annoyed.

"By the way, we better get going. The old man is waiting for us in the kitchen," Sasuke remarked as he walked past Naruto.

Naruto nodded as they both walked together towards the kitchen. Upon entering the kitchen, they were greeted by Tengan, who was sipping tea at the table.

Tengan noticed the two boys entering the kitchen, he set his tea down and smiled warmly at them. "It seems you two are about ready," Tengan remarked, sipping his tea in the living room.
