Kakashi said with a smile.

As mentioned before, even if all the other graduates in this class fail to graduate and have to return to the Ninja Academy, 99.9% of Menma's Class 7 will graduate successfully.

Unless Kakashi is seriously diagnosed with Menma and is currently unable to participate normally in the life of a ninja.

But that's almost impossible.

Because over the past 12 years, Menma has already been personally certified by the Third Hokage as a new generation of Nine-Tails Jinchuriki from the village who is stable by nature, eager for recognition, and worthy of cultivation and trust.

Although she is a little aloof in personality, that is understandable. These are things that can be cultivated and improved over time.

Therefore, Menma's graduation is a foregone conclusion.

Not to mention that the team also includes Naruto and Sasuke, two individuals with equally special identities.

Even putting all that aside, Menma and the others' performance just now did indeed meet Kakashi's expectations.

The four were allowed to graduate and officially begin their missions as ninjas.

"Alright, so our Team 7 is officially formed. As a celebration, Kakashi-nii, shouldn't you do something?"

After Naruto cheered, he also went over and looked at Kakashi with a smirk.

"Yes, we should celebrate! Today is also the first day that our Class 7 has officially formed. I'll treat you to a good meal, and then you can have a good rest. We'll get our official assignments tomorrow!"

Kakashi chuckled and nodded.

"Oh my god! Long live Kakashi-nii-san!"

Naruto raised his hands high and cheered loudly.

"Menma, Sasuke, you two won't refuse this time, right?"

Then he turned his head and looked directly at Menma and Sasuke beside him.

Chapter 43 The First Month

"Of course, no problem."

Menma seemed to have been prepared, and as Naruto's gaze shifted to him, he nodded slightly in response.

Originally, for him, this was just a formality that was dispensable.

Participation is fine, but not participating is also fine.

It's just a disguise he needs occasionally. He can't really let Hiruzen Sarutobi think he's an extremely withdrawn person, can he? That might make Hiruzen think he's unstable and uncontrollable.

"Humph!"

Erzhuzi clearly shared a similar attitude; his soft hum, devoid of any sign of shaking his head or turning away in refusal, was an expression of tacit agreement.

"Alright! Let's go then, we're definitely going to have a big meal today!"

Naruto's face also showed an obvious look of excitement, and he raised his right hand and cheered loudly.

The seventh class was officially formed.

Although the plot unfolds slightly differently from the original work, everything seems to be stubbornly moving along the original storyline. However, in this life, different beings and different wills will inevitably bring about different developments!

all of these.

Ultimately, it all depends on the decision of the person involved, such as Mianma.

The first day of their official graduation passed just like that. For Naruto and Sakura, it was an exciting day.

For Mianma, this was just an ordinary day.

After ending the celebration of defeating the squad.

When Menma returned home, he thoroughly reviewed and reflected on his battle with Kakashi that day. Without a doubt, in terms of pure individual strength, skill, and experience, Kakashi completely overwhelmed them all.

This also allowed Menma to gain a deeper and clearer understanding of his current level.

The sense of urgency in my heart has intensified even further.

This is a world where strength reigns supreme!

Which is more important, force or reason? This is a question that doesn't even need to be considered. Of course, reason should be given, but if you don't have the corresponding power, how can you promote your reason?

Ashura, Hashirama Senju, and Naruto Uzumaki all influenced Indra, Madara Uchiha, and Sasuke Uchiha through words!

Stop being funny.

Those are principles proven with fists, okay?

Even Jiraiya, who seems to have the gentlest personality in the original work and is known as a hero, what did he do after infiltrating Amegakure and discovering that Nagato and Konan were behind the Akatsuki organization?

This makes the true nature of the world even clearer.

Perhaps Jiraiya could be considered a 'good person' by the ninja community, but ninjas are synonymous with power.

No power.

That would be a huge joke.

Menma wouldn't consider any unrealistic things, like naive words such as justice or mutual understanding.

Protect yourself!

Defeat the enemy!

Live life to the fullest!

This is Mianma's unwavering and steadfast goal.

For this reason, Mianma is willing to give everything to work hard and strive for it.

To reiterate, he is not the idealist Naruto Uzumaki from the original work, but rather the 'egoist' Menma Uzumaki.

Weakness and naivety are the greatest enemies of a ninja.

After Team 7 was formed, starting the next day, Kakashi did indeed lead Menma, Naruto, and the other three to officially begin their mission.

And the level and content of this task.

It is obviously very similar to the original work.

Even though he acknowledged the strength of Menma and the other three, Kakashi couldn't just lead the team on a high-level mission right away. It wasn't a matter of danger; it was simply a matter of pace.

With an elite Jonin like him around, there's absolutely no need to worry about any danger in missions below A rank!

It's simply a matter of whether Kakashi is willing or not.

Of course, one must also consider Menma's unique identity.

Because high-level missions require leaving the area of ​​Konoha, Jinchuriki of Tailed Beasts can certainly leave their villages. The Jinchuriki of each village are used as important combat forces to carry out missions, especially in war.

It's impossible to keep them all at home like precious treasures.

However, there is a clear premise: the Jinchūriki must reach a relatively stable stage.

As the Jonin instructor of Team 7, Kakashi naturally needs to be much more cautious in this regard. To put it bluntly, whether Team 7 can take on high-level missions and leave the ninja village depends on the personal approval of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Therefore, in the month before Team 7 was formed, they were frantically carrying out the lowest-ranking D-class missions. They were either searching for lost items or helping some family in Konoha with heavy work. They always wanted missions with risks and technical requirements, such as helping to capture scattered domestic livestock.

But that might be a bit risky for the average person.

For a ninja, it really is not difficult at all.

After all, it's not some large, ferocious wild beast.

Mianma was mentally prepared and knew that she couldn't rush things, so she didn't show too much unusual emotion.

Moreover, Mianma knew that there were people who were even more anxious than him.

as predicted.

It happened one morning a little over a month later.

I just finished another routine search for a lost pet.

"Kakashi-nii-san, when will this ever end? It's all D-rank missions! One day it's weeding, the next it's finding lost items—there's absolutely no skill involved! Can't we get some missions that are a little more difficult?!"

Naruto, clutching his pet tightly, looked at Kakashi with a disgruntled expression on his way back to the mission building, and said in a very dissatisfied tone.

After a month, he had already carried out more than double-digit D-rank missions. At first, there might have been some novelty, and Naruto could maintain a high level of patience. But now, with these low-level missions being carried out repeatedly, Naruto was definitely going to lose his temper.

He needs challenging and difficult tasks!

Sasuke nodded slightly, subconsciously agreeing in his heart.

This kind of low-level task has no value whatsoever, and it is impossible for it to provide any training or benefit!

"No, you've only just graduated. You're far from being able to handle high-level missions. For now, you should stick to D-rank missions. It's a necessary process for every genin!"

Kakashi remained nonchalant, glancing at the 'Book of Treasures' in his hand as he casually replied.

"How much longer?! Kakashi-nii! It's been a month already!!"

Naruto tilted his head back, his face filled with resentment.

"It's only been a month. Take your time to hone your skills, Naruto."

Kakashi continued speaking calmly and unhurriedly.

"Okay~~~~~"

Naruto drew out his words, clearly disappointed.

When it comes to accepting missions, it really depends on the team leader. If Kakashi really doesn't want to lead them to accept high-level missions, then there's really nothing that can be done.

Chapter 44 Persuasion and Warming

However, just as Naruto was about to give up and patiently wait for a while, the five members of Team 7 stepped into the mission building. The figure that appeared on the main seat where they received their missions immediately stirred up Naruto's restless heart again.

"Oh!? Third-generation Grandpa, what brings you to the mission building today!?"

Naruto looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was sitting in the middle wearing a divine robe and a Hokage hat, with a look of surprise and shouted loudly.

As the shadow of a village.
