The Avengers of the Uzumaki Family

This is enough to explain Erzhuzi's feelings at this moment.

Sakura, standing on the other side, looked at the three bells in Naruto's hand, her beautiful eyes revealing endless hope and tension.

She really wanted to graduate.

I don't want to go back to the ninja academy.

Even if this is only the second test opportunity.

but.

She didn't seem to have any compelling reason or right to receive a bell.

At this moment, Sakura's heart was filled with despair.

It's not a possibility.

It was 100% certain that she was going back to the ninja academy to study, because she really didn't have the courage to ask for a bell.

Menma, Naruto, Sasuke—aren't they all better than me?

Naruto's lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't. The atmosphere became eerily silent.

This feels like a life-or-death question.

The group of people remained silent for a long time.

As Kakashi's expression seemed to become increasingly expressive.

"Hehe, it's a very simple question. Just give the bells to the three of them. I don't need this second test opportunity, Kakashi-sensei."

Standing to one side, Menma smiled faintly and said softly.

"Oh?"

"Huh?"

"Mianma, you?"

"Menma-kun!"

These words struck Sakura, Naruto, and the others like a thunderbolt.

A hint of 'I knew it' flashed in Kakashi's eyes.

'This kid's reaction time is really quick...'

It was almost a fleeting moment.

Kakashi then realized that Menma had seen through his intentions and plans.

However, on the surface, Kakashi still feigned doubt and asked, "Oh? Are you sure? Menma, if you miss this opportunity, you'll have to go back to the Ninja Academy and study for at least another year before you can graduate again next year. Don't you want to reconsider? Allocating bells based on merit is the fairest way!"

This seemed to be a deliberate glance at Sakura.

Sakura Haruno's delicate body couldn't help but tremble.

Sakura was filled with endless inner turmoil and nervousness.

next moment.

Sakura gritted her teeth and said, "Menma-kun, you three should keep the bells. My grades are the worst among the four of us, so there's no way it's my turn. You three should take the test again. I... I... I'll wait until next year!"

These words seemed to require all one's strength to utter.

But only after it was spoken.

The heavy feeling in Sakura's heart also disappeared without a trace. She knew very well that there was no point in fighting for something that she couldn't have.

Taking a step back here is actually the right thing to do.

Don't forget, this is just the qualification to take the test a second time. It doesn't mean that you can pass just by getting the bell. Sakura has no confidence at all that she can pass Kakashi's test.

If that's the case, why bother making a fool of yourself?

Chapter 42 Correct Answer

Sakura suddenly spoke up.

Menma was also surprised. He hadn't expected Sakura to be so decisive. Whether she could see things clearly or not was one thing, but whether she could make a firm decision was another.

At least on this point.

Menma, however, began to look at Sakura with a newfound respect.

A strange light flashed quickly across Kakashi's pupils.

"No way! You can have the bell, Sakura. I can always ask the Third Hokage for help. Anyway, I'll definitely get another chance to graduate!"

Naruto, on the other hand, heard Menma and Sakura's words one after the other.

He quickly waved his hand, and while speaking, he tossed the bell in his hand to Menma, Sasuke, and Sakura.

Then he patted his chest forcefully.

It seems as if they are trying to prove the credibility of their words in this way.

"Hmph, I don't need this bell. I'll just graduate next year."

After taking a deep breath, Sasuke threw the bell back into Naruto's hand. Although he really wanted a second chance at the test and didn't want to waste another year at the Ninja Academy, his pride wouldn't allow him to accept the bell like that.

"What are you doing! Sasuke, I was just being kind by giving it to you. I already told you I would definitely ask the Third Hokage for a chance to graduate!"

Looking at the bell that Sasuke threw back.

Naruto panicked again instantly.

"Hmph, I don't need such kindness!"

Sasuke crossed his arms and said coldly.

What does it mean to give something in good faith?

The pride of the Uchiha clan doesn't need such kindness!

"Hey, you bastard!"

Naruto raised an eyebrow, about to say something more.

"Clap clap clap."

"Excellent! All four of you have passed!!!"

On the opposite side, Kakashi suddenly clapped his hands, speaking directly without any premeditation.

Of those present, apart from Menma, the other three were instantly stunned.

"what?"

"?"

"Huh!?"

He just stared blankly at Kakashi.

"What does this mean? Kakashi-nii, why all of a sudden?"

This is a rollercoaster ride.

They seemed completely caught off guard.

Naruto stared blankly at Kakashi.

"Hehe, the question just now was actually a test. I was very satisfied with your answers, so you passed the test. Menma must have realized it from the beginning, right? What was my real intention in setting up this test?"

Kakashi smiled slightly, then turned his gaze to Menma beside him and said softly.

"Huh? Really? Menma!?"

Naruto looked at Menma with considerable surprise and asked.

Sakura and Sasuke's gazes also simultaneously fell on Menma.

"I wouldn't say it was from the very beginning, but it's just a rough guess. Kakashi-sensei, you set up this test to see if we have a sense of teamwork, right?"

Mianma nodded slightly and replied calmly.

"Teamwork?"

"Ok?"

As Naruto muttered to himself in one of the seats, a hint of something less than pleasant seemed to appear between Sasuke's brows.

Sakura was very straightforward, completely relaxed. Passing the graduation exam—wasn't that the happiest and most fortunate thing? You have to know that she was already prepared to be ridiculed by her comrades and family and to go back to the ninja academy to study again.

Now it seems...

A new path opens up before you do.

Sakura definitely has every reason to be happy!!

"Yes, Menma is right. It is teamwork. In the ninja world, the allocation of tasks and the execution of orders are certainly very important. But to accomplish these things, the tacit cooperation between team members is also crucial. One person's strength is ultimately limited. This is why ninjas take on and execute tasks in teams. You have already graduated from the Ninja Academy. What I need you to understand is the importance of team and comrades. No one can be separated from the group."

Kakashi looked at Menma, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura with a serious expression and said...

"Is that so? I was really worried about not graduating before, hahaha, you should have said so earlier, Kakashi-nii! You don't need to worry about teamwork at all, our team definitely has plenty, right? Menma, Sasuke, Sakura!"

Naruto patted his chest with a broad smile and said excitedly.

Kakashi shook his head inwardly with amusement when he saw Naruto's posture.

"I wonder who was it that just said they were going to find the Third Hokage?"

Kakashi tapped Naruto.

"Haha, that was just something I said offhand, just something I said offhand."

Naruto scratched the back of his head a little awkwardly and said with a grin.

"So, we can say we've graduated successfully, right, Kakashi-nii?"

Naruto moved closer to Kakashi, looked up at him, and asked with a darting gaze.

"Yes, you have all passed."
