Konoha: I, Naruto, will eat the Forest-Forest Fruit!

So slow!

Why did it arrive so quickly?

Ah... um...

The three individuals exhibited completely opposite behaviors.

White Hair put away the little imperial uncle in his hand, revealing the mask covering his face.

And that ridiculously crooked headband, revealing only a dead fish eye that seemed to have no fighting spirit whatsoever.

Although he said sorry, you could tell from his eyes that he wasn't apologetic at all.

"snort."

Erzhuzi snorted coldly as always.

At the same time, Naruto slowly opened his eyes and exited his meditative state.

He stood up and walked towards Kakashi.

The pink-haired girl, who was originally planning to complain a bit and pretend that she was also getting impatient, saw this.

He quickly followed behind.

Erzhuzi didn't say a word, following behind with a gloomy expression.

Kakashi raised his hand, as if he was about to say something.

Naruto simply walked past him.

Pink-haired girl hesitated for a moment, then followed.

Needless to say, Sasuke didn't even glance at Kakashi.

Where are you planning to go?

Three troublemakers... no, two troublemakers, and one just there for show.

This is such a hassle.

"Let's find a suitable place to meet up; the rooftop would be a great option."

Kakashi also walked out of the classroom.

"It seems... I'm the one who's in charge of guiding the Jonin, the one who issues the orders, right?"

Naruto smiled.

They stopped abruptly.

As soon as he stopped, Erzhuzi and Pink Hair also stopped.

Kakashi thought they were being polite, but after walking for a while, he turned around and found the three of them still standing there.

"That's how it is. If you don't want to, you can go and talk to Grandpa Hokage. Of course, if you don't want to talk, then shut up and follow along."

"If you continue with this attitude, then I think I can ask the Hokage to change the instructor to a different Jonin."

"You're late and your apology isn't even sincere. I don't think you can teach us anything. I'm the man who's going to become the Fifth Hokage. You'll only hold me back."

Erzhuzi was shocked, and the way he looked at Naruto changed.

Pink Hair's face instantly lost all color.

Did they come in and immediately give the supervising Jonin a hard time?

This...this is too reckless!

But... why do I find this so cool and imposing!

Kakashi's perpetually deadpan eyes finally showed a flicker of emotion.

He gave Naruto a deep look.

"Kid, don't you know that your instructor, a Jonin, has the right to send you back to the Ninja Academy, or even strip you of your right to be a ninja for life?"

That cold gaze, coupled with that deep voice, didn't seem like a lie.

Naruto shrugged. "Do as you please."

"I'll just retake the test."

"I don't know if Grandpa Hokage will agree."

After saying that, Naruto simply went back to the classroom and stayed there.

Why did you do this to Kakashi?

There's nothing else to it, I'm just annoyed.

Moreover, this thing is definitely not human.

In fact, the last straw that broke White Teeth's back was that even his own son thought he was wrong.

In addition, this guy really never came to see him even once.

Even a sneaky glance wasn't enough.

Naruto was certain that Ninja Kuma had taken Kakashi to his house before he arrived.

His task was to monitor and supervise, and his main responsibility was Naruto.

Erzhuzi was just a side effect.

Sasuke is the only Uchiha member remaining in Konoha.

Why didn't the Konoha leadership take any action such as surveillance or brainwashing?

Naturally, it's because Erzhuzi doesn't need these things.

Itachi had already done a great job before he left.

If it weren't for Obito intercepting him later and manipulating the narrative, Sasuke wouldn't have developed hatred for Konoha.

I'm afraid... the outcome is still uncertain.

Therefore, Kakashi's responsibilities are quite clear.

As for helping Naruto improve, that's not part of his job.

Kakashi doesn't know Rasengan or Summoning Jutsu?

No, that would be insensible. These are Jiraiya's tools.

Who is Jiraiya?

He is Ninja Kuma's personal disciple and one of the Legendary Sannin who, despite knowing the darkness within Konoha, still deeply loves Konoha.

In addition, Naruto's retort had another meaning.

It's just for future plans.

......

Without hesitation, Sasuke followed Naruto.

Naruto spoke his mind.

Rather than wasting time following a Jonin with no future, it's better to wait another year.

With Naruto around, he will never lack opponents.

"You... teachers... wait for me!"

Kakashi stood there, stunned.

whoosh-

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I won't do it again."

Kakashi didn't hesitate and immediately used the Body Flicker Technique to block the doorway.

"I promise!"

Seeing that the three men clearly did not believe him, he quickly raised his hand.

Erzhuzi had already noticed something was amiss.

The difference in their attitudes before and after is too great.

"Anyway, let's go to the rooftop first."

"Let's go, someone has already made a guarantee."

If Naruto doesn't move, the other two definitely won't move either.

So he led the way.

After walking for a while, I slowed down.

Kakashi walked very slowly as well.

"I'm different from him; I'm not a little sun."

boom--

These words exploded in Kakashi's mind like a thunderclap.

What does that mean?

Does he know about Professor Minato?

No... that can't be, right?

"Kakashi-sensei, you're not going to be late for going to the rooftop, are you?"

"That's right, Naruto-kun is absolutely right!"

The pink-haired girl tried to make her presence known.

"Huh? Naruto-kun, how do you know the teacher's name?"

"Oh, I checked the information, and his name and photo were in the previous Class 7."

"Naruto-kun is amazing~!"

Kakashi's breathing became rapid.

My feelings are incredibly complicated.

He... understands.

Haha, if only you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?

Kakashi gave a bitter smile, his guilt exploding within him.

This child... has suffered more than he imagined over the years.

What is the Will of Fire?

It's all deceptive.

Minato-sensei... He really resembles you, and is even more outstanding than you.

Am I really qualified to become his mentor Jonin?

He's blaming me... no, maybe he's trying to say something?

wrong!

Kakashi was startled, and the image of the ninja bear's evaluation of Naruto flashed through his mind.

And then consider Naruto's current attitude.

"He's setting up... a scheme against Konoha! No, it should be said, a scheme against the higher-ups."

"I've checked the records, know my own identity, gained the trust of the Third Hokage, and have a good relationship with the current successor of the Great Ninja Clan. I've even proactively revealed some information to my father's former subordinates..."

Kakashi felt a chill run down his spine.

But seeing Naruto's nonchalant demeanor, he knew that Naruto was giving him a signal.

Don't make a fuss yet, just do what needs to be done.

Was my recent self-criticism a warning to myself?

Help? Or expose them?

Kakashi was amused by his own thought.

Stand in the middle; if things get out of hand, tell the child to stop.

After calming himself down, Kakashi began going through the procedures.

"Well, some unpleasant things did happen."

"But there's still a chance to start over."

These words were naturally meant for Naruto, with one meaning on the surface and another on the surface.

"Well then, let's introduce ourselves first."

"My name is Kakashi Hatake. What I like and dislike... I'll keep that a secret for now. My dream... I'll keep that a secret for now too. As for my hobbies... I'll keep that a secret as well."

The three of them: "..."

"All I know is your name."

The pink-haired girl was speechless.

"Now it's your turn."

Kakashi maintained his smile.

"snort!"

"My name is Uchiha Sasuke. I have no likes or dislikes, only ambition. My ambition is to kill that man."

As he said this, Erzhuzi's face was filled with murderous intent.

Kakashi narrowed his eyes slightly.

No wonder when the third generation mentioned this child, it was more like they were just casually asking me to take care of him.

As expected, this is the case.

Having experienced a lot, Kakashi has gained a clearer understanding of many things.

"Okay, next one."

"I... my name is Haruno Sakura, and the things I like... I don't know what to say."

The pink-haired girl stammered, unable to utter a few words, and finally covered her face and screamed.

Please, you didn't even blush. I couldn't tell if you were embarrassed or just shy.

Kakashi rolled his eyes, then looked at Naruto.

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I like red hot peppers, I hate carrying rice, and my dream is to become Hokage."

"Your dream is to become Hokage?" Kakashi was speechless, looking at Naruto's casual remark.

Brother, I understand, I understand everything, please don't say anymore.

You don't need to hint at it anymore; I'm just a struggling working person too.

"That concludes my self-introduction."

"Now let's talk about tomorrow's tasks."

Kakashi narrowed his eyes and said seriously:

"Wilderness survival drill".

"This is not a typical wilderness survival exercise."

"Yes...hehe, anyway, be prepared."

"Also, don't eat breakfast, or you'll throw up!"

After saying that, Kakashi let out a strange laugh.

Pink Hair was so scared that he got goosebumps.

"Here is the detailed information, one copy for each person."

"This? Such a high attrition rate?!"

Pink-haired girl gasped in surprise after just one glance.

Kakashi was planning to secretly investigate information about Naruto in recent years after he left.

I suddenly remembered that I had just promised not long ago...

"Well, there's one more thing."

"The information sheet said to assemble at the exercise field at six o'clock tomorrow morning, but in reality, the exercise started at noon."

"You can choose to arrive at six o'clock and take a good look at the terrain of the exercise field."

"You can also choose to arrive at noon... Remember, do not eat breakfast."

"Ghana~"

Kakashi waved his hand, and before disappearing, he glanced at Naruto.

"Um... I think we should have a good discussion about how to coordinate our wilderness survival drill tomorrow."

"Not interested, I'm leaving now."

"snort."

Watching the two figures leave, one on the left and one on the right

Pink-haired girl stood there, stunned.

After a while, she ran towards Naruto's direction.

Following Naruto will definitely lead to Ino, or... Ino will find Naruto on her own.

The pink-haired girl who doesn't have Erzhuzi on her mind still knows to gather intelligence.

The result, naturally, disappointed her.

In the blink of an eye, Naruto vanished without a trace.

......

the other side.

Kakashi looked at the information in his hand, utterly shocked.

"The same score... he's manipulating the score, the Will of Fire is perfect... he's putting on an act for others."

"A second-year student fought against the genius Uchiha Sasuke, using Shisui's Phantom Flicker Technique, which he mastered on his own..."

After a long silence, Kakashi closed his eyes and said in a deep voice:

"This talent and wisdom far surpasses that of Minato-sensei back then."

"He believes the time isn't right yet... so, should I just continue doing what I normally do?"

Kakashi suddenly felt an unbearable headache.

He realized that Naruto was deliberately trying to disgust him.

He had no way to deal with it and no temper at all.

"Sigh... whatever, it'll do..."

Kakashi regained his deadpan expression and pulled out Icha Icha Paradise.

"I'm a bit irritable right now!"
