Time passed quietly, and the sun soon replaced the moon to begin its workday.

At this moment, inside the ninja academy, a group of students who had passed their graduation exams were already waiting here.

Next, it was time to announce the class assignment results.

"Not here yet? Not here yet?"

Naruto was being mischievous, and the smile on his face wouldn't fade.

Naruto kept talking to himself, and every now and then he would touch his headband and grin foolishly.

"Noisy!"

Sasuke, standing to the side, had a face full of fury and cursed at the noisy Naruto.

"Here you go again. You must be jealous. I know, I know."

"But it's okay, I won't blame you."

"Who would be jealous of you! You loser!"

"I understand, I understand, ah—"

"You!"

Sasuke and Naruto started arguing again. The people around them were used to it; this had been the case for the past six years. There hadn't been a single day that these two hadn't argued.

"Alright, alright, everyone, quiet down! It's you again, Sasuke and Naruto!"

Iruka walked in, and the most common scene over the past six years was seen again before they graduated.

Naruto and Sasuke each clicked their tongues and turned their heads away from each other.

"Alright, alright, next I'll tell you all about your class assignments."

Iruka sighed. Even after graduation, Sasuke and Naruto would still be a worry for him. He wondered what the Hokage's reasoning was in putting them in the same group.

Thinking of this, Iruka sighed again, but quickly packed up, as he still needed to finalize the class assignments first.

"Alright, first shift—"

"Team 7: Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno."

"it is good!"

"What! I'm in the same class as this guy!"

Sasuke and Naruto stared at each other with wide eyes.

"What did you say? You think I want to be in the same class as you?!"

"Don't imitate me!"

Naruto and Sasuke started fighting again, and Iruka's face on the stage below grew increasingly dark.

"Naruto and Sasuke!"

"Humph!"

Iruka sighed again. Just as he had imagined, there were no exceptions. But this was the list arranged by the higher-ups, and there was nothing he could do. Considering the relationship between the Hokage and these two, it wasn't surprising.

"Mutual competition leads to progress," Minato said at the time.

Without thinking too much about it, Iruka continued talking about the upcoming class assignments.

"Team 8: Hinata Hyuga, Shino Aburame, Kiba Inuzuka."

"Team 10: Sarutobi Asuma, Akimichi Choji, Yamanaka Ino."

"—Next, everyone will wait here for their instructor to come and pick them up."

After the class assignments were announced, Iruka left the classroom.

The wait wasn't long before the first mentor arrived.

Naruto looked on with anticipation, while Sasuke glanced over as well.

Unfortunately, it wasn't the teacher of Class 7.

Teachers came in one after another, and each class was gradually led away until only Class 7 remained.

"What?! Who could it be so late at night?!"

Naruto was so angry that he immediately came up with a wicked idea to mess with the teacher who was late.

Without further ado, Naruto immediately got to work.

Sakura was advising against it, but in reality, she was secretly saying it was a good thing.

Sasuke didn't say anything, but he clearly agreed.

"Okay, all done."

Naruto grinned mischievously, and just as he returned to his seat, there was a commotion at the door.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm a little late."

A lazy voice drifted in, and a figure walked in.

The moment the door was pushed open, a bucket of water fell down.

"Allah."

Kakashi dodged to the side, but he still felt a sensation on his head.

"Hahaha, you fell for it, didn't expect a double attack, did you?"

Naruto laughed loudly, but the laughter stopped a moment later.

"Hey! Uncle Kakashi!"

Yes, Naruto certainly knows Kakashi, given their family relationship.

And so, the instructor for Class 7 finally made an appearance.

Chapter 308: Class 7's Failure

"Alright, you guys really gave me a surprise. Well, I'm magnanimous, so I'll forgive you."

On the balcony, Team 7 was gathered. Kakashi sat on the railing, looking at the three people in front of him. These were the students he would be teaching next, or more accurately, the first class of students. Although they had long since left the Anbu to become instructors, none of their classes had ever passed his test.

So, will this year's batch be able to pass?

Kakashi looked at the three of them with dead fish eyes and began to speak.

"Now let's introduce ourselves properly. Yeah, talk about your dreams, hobbies and interests. We'll be spending a lot of time together from now on."

Kakashi's voice sounded very lazy, and after speaking, he pulled out a small book and started reading.

"Extremely perfunctory."

The three people on Naruto's side all looked at them with disgust.

"Alright, let's start with Naruto."

Kakashi pointed at Naruto with his other finger, looked up, and seemed to be smiling, but the mask he was wearing completely obscured his smile.

"Hmph, Naruto Uzumaki's dream is to become Hokage, the strongest Hokage, and his hobbies are eating Ichiraku Ramen and Uncle Tsuki's food."

"Sakura Haruno, my dream is ——————! My hobby is ——————!"

Sakura looked at Sasuke as she spoke and called out to him a few more times, but Sasuke ignored her and proceeded to introduce himself.

"Uchiha Sasuke's dream is to surpass Itachi, and his hobby is being with Itachi and his mother."

Kakashi put the book away and let out a soft hum.

"Ya le ya le".

With a fangirl, a Jinchuriki, and an Uchiha, this class is quite something compared to other classes.

"Alright, then meet at training ground number nine at six o'clock tomorrow morning, and we'll begin our exam."

"take an exam?"

"Did I forget to tell you? Don't think that just because you passed the graduation exam you're ninjas, kids. If you don't pass this exam, you'll be sent back to the ninja academy to study again."

Kakashi closed the book: "Be prepared." His eyes narrowed, causing Naruto and the other two to hold their breath.

"Also, Kakashi Hatake, there's no point in talking about dreams, no point in talking about hobbies, and whatever you do, don't eat breakfast! Okay, I'm off now."

"Huh?" Kakashi's casual self-introduction surprised the three of them.

After Kakashi left, the three of them went back to their respective homes to prepare for the so-called exam. Failing to pass meant having to go back home, which was no small matter.

However------

The next day arrived, and the sun shone down from above. At Training Ground No. 9, the three people there looked utterly exhausted.

"Ugh! Why hasn't that teacher arrived yet?! Don't you know that teacher? What's going on?!"

"I know about it, but I had absolutely no idea about this!"

Sasuke, who was standing to the side, was also getting annoyed. They had agreed on 6 a.m. yesterday, and they weren't even allowed to have breakfast. It was already noon and the person still hadn't arrived.

"Sorry sorry."

"I just helped an old lady, then I saw a black cat, and then I got lost on the road of life."

"What is all this nonsense?!"

The three of them complained together.

"Well, don't worry about it so much. The exam is about to start."

"Now?"

"Don't assume that ninja battles only take place at specific times and under specific conditions."

"You have three minutes to prepare. If you fail, you'll have to go back to school and study again."

Kakashi walked into the training ground first, then sat down and took out a book to read.

Three minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and the three people stood in front of him. Kakashi looked up, but no one knew whether he was smiling or not.

"Are you ready?"

Kakashi pulled out two bells with his other hand.
