Chapter 44 Eagle
teammate……

Sasuke pursed his lips and turned his head slightly, feeling a little embarrassed to look directly at Sakura.

Looking at the somewhat arrogant Sasuke in front of her, Sakura looked at Naruto on the other side and said:
"The garbage in the river can be cleaned up anytime anyway, so let's try climbing a tree first."

It's just a D-level task. At worst, I can complete it after practicing.

And it's just climbing a tree and wading through water, so with Sasuke and Naruto's talents, it won't take long.

"Great!"

Naruto immediately ran to the shore impatiently, and Sasuke followed closely behind.

Kakashi looked at the two people running to the shore and couldn't help but approach Sakura with a bitter face and said:

"Um, Sakura, what about this mission~~~"

Sakura glanced at Kakashi and said with slight dissatisfaction:
"If I don't mention this, when are you going to start teaching them?"

"Uh, ha, ha, I'm just trying to temper their tempers~~~"

Kakashi looked awkwardly at the frowning little girl in front of him.

"Kakashi, you are the teacher, you are responsible for teaching them."

"Besides, the Chunin Exam is imminent. If you are still so lazy, do you want the two of them to be defeated by a few unknown little Genin?"

Sakura frowned as she looked at the white-haired man in front of her who was trying to get away with it.

Kakashi was speechless as he looked at Sakura who was teaching him a lesson.

Are Naruto and Sasuke weak?
To be honest, at this stage of Genin, the two of them are not weak.

Naruto has the technique of multiple shadow clones, and can kill many people of the same level by using human wave tactics.

Sasuke has the Uchiha clan's shuriken wielding technique, as well as fire escape technique, and can defeat many Genin of the same level.

But Sakura compared them to people like Neji, Rock Lee, and Gaara.

At this stage, Naruto and Sasuke will be beaten badly no matter who they face.

Even two against one may not be able to win.

"..."

Kakashi looked at Sakura in front of him and couldn't help but feel embarrassed and his eyes were a little vague.

Sure enough, the scene that I least wanted to see came...

When Kakashi knew that Sakura would be assigned to Team 7 because of a mission, he knew that this day would come, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

"Hey, hey, I get it..."

Kakashi reluctantly agreed.

It seems that with Sakura around, he won't be able to rest for the next few days.

Sakura crossed her arms and looked at Naruto and Sasuke who were secretly competing not far away to see who could climb the tree higher.

"Leave Raikiri to Sasuke."

"I'll go back to the old man and ask for the Rasengan for Naruto."

Sakura's words made Kakashi look at her sharply.

"Sakura, are you serious?"

"Raikiri is an S-rank jutsu!"

"Isn't it too early to leave it to the two of them at this stage..."

Listening to Kakashi's unbelievable words, Sakura looked at Kakashi calmly with her emerald eyes and said:

"The Yondaime was able to save his future wife from the Kumogakure ninja at the age of twelve."

"You were able to create your own Raikiri at the age of twelve."

"I was already the ANBU captain when I was twelve."

"Why do you think they are too early? To me, it's just right."

Sakura's words left Kakashi speechless.

The Fourth Hokage was such a genius back then, and Sakura was also placed with high hopes by the Third Hokage. Kakashi is not bragging, there are not many twelve-year-olds who can compare to him.

Is Sakura comparing Naruto and Sasuke to these people?

Does Sakura trust Naruto and Sasuke so much?
Kakashi recalled the mission report about Mizuki some time ago.

Did Sakura really think that Naruto inherited the will of the Yondaime?
"Forget it Naruto, after all..." "Why do you trust Sasuke so much?"

Kakashi's eyes fell on the boy who had just fallen from the tree to the ground, and then immediately continued to climb the tree.

"Sasuke is special. You and I both know what kind of hatred he carries."

"If he can't become stronger, then he will continue to pursue the path to becoming stronger."

“Whatever it takes to do that.”

Sakura looked at the boy who was almost at the top of the tree, but fell heavily to the ground due to excessive chakra input.

"As he gains power, we should constantly guide him toward the path we choose for him."

The girl's tone was calm, but Kakashi's heart was in turmoil.

"You mean..."

Sakura continued:
"This Chunin Exam is a large-scale event jointly organized by us, the Sand Village, the Rock Village, and several small ninja villages."

"Having seen the vastness of the sky, how can a young eagle yearning for the blue sky be confined to an eagle's nest that is only a palm's space?"

Kakashi silently looked at the stubborn boy not far away. After a long silence, he slowly spoke:

"Sakura, is this what you think too?"

"In your eyes, Konoha, the number one ninja village, is nothing more than an eagle's nest a palm's worth of space?"

Sakura looked at Kakashi as if he were a fool and said:

"This kind of thing obviously varies from person to person. I was lucky enough to get the old man's favor."

"It may be an eagle's nest for Sasuke, but to me it's a chessboard where I can place my pieces."

Move...

Does Sakura think that she is a chess player who can change the situation in the ninja world?

Kakashi suddenly felt that Sakura's self-awareness was a bit arrogant and dangerous.

Sakura did not elaborate on this issue, and looked at Kakashi and said:
"Are you going to teach me or not?"

"Even if you don't teach me, I can still get Raikiri from the old man. It's just a little troublesome."

Kakashi looked at the little girl in front of him helplessly, and then said in a tone that was almost disgusting:

"teach."

"Can't I teach you?"

"But we can only teach you this after Sasuke has mastered the control of his chakra."

"After all, it is an S-level technique."

Sakura couldn't help but raise an eyebrow as she looked at the powerless Kakashi beside her.

To be honest, this guy Kakashi is really a bad guy.

In the original work, one of the three disciples was taught how to climb trees and tread water before the Chunin Exam.

Moreover, he only started teaching Zabuza and Haku when he encountered them in the mission in Wave Country, which was an emergency situation that required a lot of effort.

Later, before the Chunin Exam, he didn't teach anything until he knew that Sasuke was going to fight Gaara, then he taught Raikiri in a hurry.

As for Naruto and Sakura, they are nothing at all.

Fortunately for Naruto, Jiraiya happened to be returning to the village at that time.

As for Sakura...

Now Sakura didn't give him two punches, it was because of the fact that his teacher was the Fourth Hokage.

"Let's pick a difficult task for the next one."

"I was just looking through the mission manual. Isn't there a Zabuza in Wave Country?"

"Let's talk to the old man and change it to C-rank, so that Naruto and Sasuke can practice..."

"Anyway, you and I will cover the bottom line."

Sakura's light words had already determined the arrangements for Naruto and Sasuke.

This made Kakashi speechless. No matter how you look at it, Sakura is the teacher of Team 7...
