Naruto: I Took the Place of a Girl

Inside a Konoha classroom, our protagonist, Haruno Haru, is bent over her desk, writing and drawing.

During this "precious" break between classes, Yuurou is busy with her own affairs. Only one person is paying attention to Sakura.

"What are you doing, Sakura?" Shikamaru asks, walking over with a puzzled look.

"Hm? I'm doing a number puzzle," Sakura says, handing him the sheet of paper in her hand and explaining, "It's a little game you play with a pencil. Fill the spaces with the numbers one through nine. Each number can appear only once in the nine squares, and there can't be any repeats in a row or column. Once you've filled in all the blanks, you've won."
