Naruto: Two opponents versus Naruto, Konoha panics!

Orochimaru: "As expected!"

Yukito Nii: "That's true."

Nara Shikaku: "Judging from Naruto's performance in black-rimmed glasses, he actually already possesses the strength of an elite Jonin."

Choza Akimichi: "Perhaps it's because he's too cautious?"

Hiashi Hyuga: "Being steady is good; we never fight unprepared battles."

Yamanaka Inoichi: "Those who achieve great things should be like this."

Tobirama Senju: "Indeed, this kind of Naruto with black-rimmed glasses is the kind of absolute powerhouse that the public can accept and recognize."

Uchiha Madara: Hmph!

Madara Uchiha: I desperately need the approval of the ants?

"That was close. Luckily I used Lightning Release: Lightning Clone Technique earlier, otherwise I'd be lying down right now."

"As expected of Minato-sensei and Kushina-nee's child."

"Compared to my younger self, you're so much better now."

Kakashi took a deep breath.

Looking at Naruto clutching two bells in his hand, I suddenly realized that without going all out, I really couldn't gauge Naruto's true strength.

"It's alright, it's just the beginning, there's a long road ahead."

"You've won."

[Noticing movement behind them.]

Kakashi turned around and said with a smile.

"Yay!"

Sakura wasn't too surprised, but she was still very happy to win.

Sasuke approached with a complicated expression and a limp.

However, upon hearing that he had won, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Kakashi's strength was considerable, making Sasuke realize how weak he was even compared to a Jonin; how much weaker would he be compared to that man?

However, just when the two thought they had passed the test...

Kakashi suddenly narrowed his eyes and chuckled, "Don't be so happy yet."

"There are only two bells."

"As I said before, only those who manage to grab the bell will pass the test."

"Those who didn't manage to grab the bell..."

"You're going to be sent back to the Ninja Academy to repeat your studies!" Kakashi's face suddenly turned cold.

"Right now, only Naruto is qualified."

"And he had two bells in his hands."

"There are only two bells for this assessment. You can try to steal them or beg for them if you want. If you don't get a bell... you'll be sent back to the Ninja Academy to repeat the course!"

[The words fell.]

Sakura and Sasuke were both stunned.

Naruto plays with the bell in his hand.

He couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

Well, how should I put it?

This kind of assessment is truly disgusting.

"Of course, there's still a day left, no need to rush."

Kakashi spoke with a grin, looking at Sasuke as if anticipating Sasuke's reaction.

【"snort!"】

Sasuke's eyes turned cold.

That white-haired, sleazy old man is really annoying.

"No, we won't fall for it!" Sakura looked at Sasuke and said solemnly.

She was terrified that Sasuke might do something foolish and attack Naruto.

[If this were to attack Naruto, all three of them would fail. Sakura wouldn't mind kicking a man when he's down right now.]

[Click—]

Just then.

Naruto crushed the bell in his hand.

The three of them looked over at the sound.

Kakashi appeared calm on the surface, but inside he was overjoyed.

Just as he expected.

The purpose of this assessment has long been seen through.

Of course, I still have to act it out...

Otherwise, my role as a mentor jonin would seem somewhat... superfluous.

"Both bells are gone."

"Since we've been assigned to the same class..."

"Then, it's perfectly normal to advance and retreat together."

"Either all three pass, or all three are eliminated."

"Of course, I think if our Class 7 doesn't pass the assessment, then the others will most likely fail as well."

Seeing this, Sakura's eyes sparkled.

I was so happy!

Sasuke kept his head down, his expression complex.

He did indeed have a series of ideas just now.

If they have to go back to the Ninja Academy to repeat a year... of the three, Sakura will most likely be the one eliminated.

However, because of Naruto's presence, the probability of being defeated becomes the highest.

"We are one!"

Sakura approached Naruto, her voice strong and clear.

Kakashi nodded secretly.

He then glanced at Sasuke.

【"snort!"】

"We'll stand together!"

[At this point, if Sasuke still can't figure out the real purpose of the test, he might as well just smash his head against a wall and die.]

Kakashi narrowed his eyes, unleashing his full killing intent.

【Om—】

Instantly, Sasuke froze, and Sakura's body trembled.

I feel immense pressure and my mind is in turmoil.

[After only a few breaths, Sakura and Sasuke were covered in cold sweat.]

Naruto frowned slightly.

"Is that murderous intent?"

"It's indeed very powerful and has a significant effect."

"However, compared to the great fox's murderous aura and the evil intent within its chakra, Kakashi's murderous aura pales in comparison."

[Upon hearing this.]

The big fox gave him an annoyed look.

"Foolish brat, how dare you compare him to someone from my fox clan?"

"Looking down on foxes?!"

Naruto's lips curled slightly. "Yes, yes, yes, the big fox is the strongest fox in the entire ninja world~"

[The Big Fox: "......"]

【Nausea!】

【vulgar!】

How come the truth sounds so distorted when you say it?!

Hmph~

[If I'm not powerful, who is?]

This scene.

They silenced the Nine-Tails inside the sealed space.

It had a bad feeling.

The person I see in the black-framed world seems to have changed quite a bit.

Would I, your humble servant, ever say something like that?!

impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

I would never even think of saying such a thing!

It remains as impenetrable as ever.

【"very good."】

"Then the three of you can stay together..."

Kakashi paused.

[Please wait a moment.]

The fierce look on his face vanished completely.

"Congratulations! You've all passed!"

【call--】

Sakura breathed a sigh of relief.

Sasuke took a deep breath, and the tension in his heart eased.

Naruto wasn't surprised at all.

【"very nice."】

"You made the right choice."

"A ninja must be calm and collected. Unexpected situations can arise during missions, and without a calm mind, it's difficult to handle them."

"In the ninja world, those who break the rules and ironclad laws are called trash."

"But those who ignore and fail to cherish their comrades are the most useless trash."

Chiyo: "Hmph, as expected of the son of White Fang, the clone ninja of Konoha, Hatake Kakashi."

Chiyo: "Not only can she copy ninjutsu, she can even copy other people's words."

Might Guy scratched his head and looked at Kakashi. "Kakashi, how did she know?"

Kakashi: "..."

Didn't you leak this information on your own initiative?
