Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 38 Before the Sudden
After a brief greeting.

Menma just found a random seat and sat down, closing his eyes to rest. If there was no deviation from the original plot, they would have to wait at least five or six hours. Kakashi seemed to appear at around 10 or 11 o'clock.

Before that, it is right to conserve your energy.

After seeing Menma's attitude, Naruto shrugged helplessly and gave up the idea of ​​chatting with Menma.

Naruto originally thought that since they were all in the same team, they should be able to get along better. Unexpectedly, both Menma and Sasuke were still the same.

Sakura also looked like she wanted to speak but didn't dare to, her little hands were twisted together in confusion.

The atmosphere is completely different from that of Team 7 in the original novel.

And as the four of them waited in silence, time passed slowly, one hour, two hours, three hours.

By the time the sun is hanging high in the sky.

It was after eight o'clock.

Still no sign of Kakashi.

Veins suddenly popped out on Naruto's forehead.

"Ahhhhhh, Brother Kakashi is such a bastard. I know you can't trust him. As expected, he's late again. It's already past eight o'clock!"

Naruto said angrily.

"Maybe there was some emergency along the way..."

Sakura, who was sitting nearby, said weakly words that even she did not believe. Beneath her seemingly quiet exterior, she was already roaring with rage in her heart.

Anyone has to get up at 4 o'clock in the morning and rush to the training ground before o'clock. The person who is waiting fails to show up, and this failure has lasted for three or four hours, and there is still no sign of anyone. It would be strange if his mentality does not explode!

Sasuke's expression also became visibly gloomy.

It's still March now.

It’s still early in the morning without having breakfast.

No matter how good a person's personality is, he or she will probably become awkward.

Only Menma still sits firmly on the throne.

This is not only the blessing of the original plot, but also because as early as when he arrived, Menma had used his huge perception ability to detect Kakashi's location in advance. Kakashi should have thought that it was impossible for the four little guys to find his location.

He carelessly chose the simplest concealment method and hid in a corner to observe them, but unfortunately he could not hide it from Menma who had Kagura's mind.

It should be said that in today's ninja world, there are indeed many people who can defeat Menma, but there are very few who can escape Menma's perception and means!

Kagura's heart's eye of the Uzumaki clan.

But it is a super BUG perception method!
"Tsk, how could there be any emergency? I'm definitely late. No, I'm going to complain to the Third Grandpa later. Brother Kakashi is really outrageous!!!"

Naruto said with an 'indignant' look on his face.

The main thing is that this is not the first time that Naruto has been fooled by his elder brother Kakashi. Once before, they made an appointment to eat ramen together, but he actually stood him up in the end!
Naruto's 'anger value' is very high now!

This also made Kakashi, who was hiding not far away, couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

'Naruto is still immature, Sakura, well, not so good either, Sasuke is okay, and Menma seems to be the most stable one...'

Kakashi was observing the four people while thinking silently in his heart.

Unlike some of the previous insignificant lateness, Kakashi was late on purpose these two times in order to secretly observe his four subordinates, which was completely different from the past.

You don't need to care about Haruno Sakura as an extra.

But Kakashi must treat the other three people seriously. In order to better guide and educate these people in his team, Kakashi naturally needs to have more information and data to understand these people in all aspects.

And this is also a small test for the four of them.

What is a ninja?
Only those who have patience can be called qualified ninjas, because various emergencies are likely to occur during a mission, which is a great test of a ninja's character and ability. These conditions can easily determine the success or failure of a mission, and even the life of the ninja himself! !
Now let’s see.

Naruto and Sakura are still a little short of what they should be!

He didn't really put himself in the right place, and didn't really understand what a ninja was!
'We still need to improve this aspect! '

Kakashi was thinking about his next teaching arrangements in his heart.

I still have no plans to go out at the moment.

It is very useful to test the patience of these little guys, and Kakashi really wants to see if Sasuke and Menma will also experience psychological fluctuations if they wait any longer.

Especially the latter.

Menma is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!
Mentality issues need to be treated more carefully. Jinchūriki whose mentality easily fluctuates are the most likely to lose control!
This was also the special instruction given by the Third Hokage to Kakashi.

Be sure to pay attention to the mental issues of Menma!
Time passed by little by little, and when it was past ten o'clock, Menma, Naruto and the other three had been waiting for five hours. After seeing that Menma was still calm and there was no fluctuation in his expression.

Kakashi nodded secretly.

"Whoosh!"

His body straightened up.

"Good morning, everyone!"

With a smiling look on his face, he appeared directly in front of Menma, Sasuke and the other three.

“Ahhhh! Good morning, Kakashi-sama! Don’t you see what time it is? It’s almost eleven o’clock. You’re more than five hours late!!!”

The moment Naruto saw Kakashi, he immediately looked ferocious.

"Haha, sorry, sorry, Naruto, when I went out this morning, a black cat blocked my way. I couldn't leave until it passed, so I'm late!"

Kakashi explained with a smile.

"Brother Kakashi, do you believe what you said?"

Naruto said to Kakashi with an extremely resentful expression on his face.

Sakura, who was sitting nearby, was looking at Kakashi with an awkward expression of "angry but not daring to speak".

At this moment, Kakashi was really labeled as completely unreliable in Haruno Sakura's heart!

"Ahaha, okay, let's get straight to the point. I told you yesterday that today's test mission might be your last mission. If you fail, you'll have to go back to the ninja school to study again!"

Kakashi laughed, then his face straightened and he went straight to the topic. Sure enough, after hearing what Kakashi said next.

Especially when I heard that I might have to go back to the ninja school to study again.

Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, and even Menma who was also cooperating in the performance all changed their expressions.
