Konoha: Unable to learn ninjutsu, they had to develop their own.

Might Guy chuckled and pointed at Neji and Maya.

Chiba lowered her head and covered her face.

"..."

As expected of you, even your entrance was surprising.

He was still pondering to himself when—

Matt Kai flashed his bright white teeth, looking smug. "I'm off. You guys wait patiently."

Chiba could tell from their expressions that they didn't know much about Might Guy and were likely to underestimate him because of his strange behavior and appearance.

Perceptual abilities?

he mused.

Kazusa Tsukiko didn't say anything, but it was clear that she was also curious about who her team leader was.

She tilted her head. Why was this person on their team too?

Chiba gave a brief explanation.

"Of course, it's also possible that the old lady encountered some difficulties and offered help out of kindness."

"I can't learn ninjutsu or genjutsu. I met Jonin Guy when I was exercising before. He gave me a lot of guidance and recommended me."

Moonlight and gauze smiled.

Great!

but.

"Teacher Kai!"

He's really on the same team as Chiba-kun!

"..."

Tenten and Tsukiko Kazusa exchanged a glance, instantly sharing a common hatred—

That Jonin is awful; he's late and yet he's so self-righteous, without the slightest sense of shame.

Chiba smiled and said, "Lord Kakashi."

"No need for adults. You may not recognize the other two. My name is Kakashi Hatake. I'm your team leader for now. It's hard to say what will happen in the future. So... come with me for now."

Kakashi Hatake was reading a book while he was speaking.

then.

In the blink of an eye, the person had disappeared from the spot.

"Follow me."

Chiba instantly caught up.

Tenten and Tsukiko Kazusa never expected that the event would happen so suddenly. Fortunately, they were both quite capable. Although their speed and reaction time were not as fast as Chiba's, they were still able to catch up quickly.

Before long, they arrived at the rooftop.

Kakashi sat on the edge of the rooftop, holding the "Make-Out Paradise" book, completely disregarding his image.

Obviously.

After Chiba exposed him, he didn't care about many things anymore, like saving face...

It’s okay not to.

The three arrived together. Kakashi tilted his head and glanced at them with one eye, then nodded slightly and said, "Not bad, you're pretty fast. Sit down, make yourself at home. We don't have class today, so let's just chat."

"Yes."

The three of them said in unison.

"Well, let me introduce myself first, my hobbies and interests."

After Kakashi finished speaking, he looked at Tenten and said, "You go first."

"My name is Tiantian. I like divination and research, but I hate sour plums."

Tian Tian answered naturally.

"Fortune telling, research? Okay, next."

"My name is Tsukiko Kazusa. I love swordsmanship, fighting, and protecting everyone in battle. I hate being rejected by others."

You mean to talk about fighting, right?

Chiba glanced at him sideways.

"Great, very motivated."

Kakashi smiled and then looked at Chiba.

"Yagyu Chiba likes to do research and make everyone stronger, and hates losing."

"..."

Kakashi was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"And you, teacher?"

"My name is Kakashi Hatake. My hobbies... I can't say. Things I dislike are a secret."

Kakashi only showed one eye, but everyone knew he was definitely laughing.

Chiba was used to it.

He knew all along that Kakashi wouldn't tell the truth.

but.

He's always in his love nest, and his passion for it goes without saying.

"Well, anyway, we've gotten to know each other now. Meet in the Death Forest tomorrow morning. Don't eat breakfast, or you'll be in big trouble."

Kakashi said seriously.

"Yes!"

"Disband."

Kakashi vanished in an instant.

After he disappeared, Tian Tian couldn't help but complain, "What's wrong with our teacher? It seems like our teacher isn't very reliable either."

"So he and Senior Kai are good friends."

Moonlight and Sasa said softly.

Chiba smiled slightly and didn't say anything more.

Tenten's heart skipped a beat, and she asked, "Chiba-kun, do you know something?"

"Yes, our teacher has a very impressive background. I can't go into details, but you've definitely heard of him: the Copy Ninja and Konoha's number one technician."

"It turns out to be him!"

Every day, the moonlight, and the gauze stood solemnly together.

Kakashi and the others hadn't heard of it, but the Copy Ninja was a household name; almost every ninja in Konoha had heard of him to some extent.

Chiba nodded.

Tomorrow is definitely the exam, and he doesn't want his teammates to underestimate the enemy like Naruto and Sasuke did.

Chapter 22: Stealing the bell again? Are you done for?

Chapter Twenty-Two: Stealing the bell again? Are you done for?

"How about it?"

"Well, after the first meeting, the team seemed alright. Although none of them were particularly skilled in elemental ninjutsu or genjutsu, they were well-rounded in other aspects."

Kakashi pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.

Might Guy chuckled: "I was asking you how about a duel to see whose disciple is stronger."

"..."

I actually thought he would ask questions seriously.

My fault.

Kakashi sighed silently, then quietly picked up Icha Icha Paradise. "Not interested."

"Well... never mind, could my team just watch?"

Too bad!

Moonlight and Gauze jumped down and rested against the tree like the other two.

Chiba and Tenten sat together, while Tsukiko and Sa squatted in the shadows of a tree, staring intently into the distance.

Until noon.

He turned his head to look at Kai, then chuckled and said, "Kai, isn't this your real purpose?"

Kakashi sighed silently, waved his hand, and continued walking forward.

Matt Kay put his hands together in prayer position.

Kakashi pondered for a moment and said, "Neji?"

Kai shared his thoughts.

"No! Besides, it's already noon, but you said it was morning before!"

Kakashi was stunned.

"Since you've said that, I should have agreed, but..."

Chiba said calmly.
