This Naruto is a player

Sasuke pondered for a moment, then asked, "When will he be back?"

Kakashi's dead fish eyes swept over Sasuke.

Naruto's identity and mission can now be considered a kind of secret.

But seeing the urgency in Sasuke's eyes, Kakashi hesitated for a moment before answering, "It could take a month or two, or even half a year."

"So long?"

Sasuke instantly realized that Naruto had accepted some kind of high-level mission.

I felt envious for a moment, then a little disappointed.

I wish I could go on a mission with Naruto!

One month of training is equivalent to more than six months of self-cultivation!

Thinking of the organization Naruto had visited that morning—Root—Sasuke asked again, "Kakashi-sensei, what kind of organization is Root?"

This problem

Kakashi looked up, thinking carefully, and said, "It's a training base that also does some intelligence work."

"Training?"

For some reason, when Sasuke heard the word 'training,' he thought of Naruto's Sage Land.

Once you enter the Root, will you be able to connect with Naruto at any time and enter the Sage Land for training?

Thinking about this, Sasuke actually got a little excited!

Roots?

I want to join!

Can.

The thought that Naruto was actually the leader of the Root organization made Sasuke hesitate again.

Joining Root means becoming Naruto's subordinate.

Sasuke thought he should consider it for a while longer.

However, since Naruto couldn't be found, Sasuke remembered why he was looking for Kakashi.

"Teacher, are there still no results from the Chunin Exams?"

Sasuke stared intently at Kakashi with his dark eyes.

"The Chunin Exams? Hmm."

If you asked him other questions, Kakashi might not know the answer, but he just happened to know the answer to this one.

He had just been summoned to the Hokage Building and overheard the Third Hokage preparing to leave Konoha.

Why did the Hokage leave Konoha?

Kakashi guessed that they were naturally going to the capital!

Coincidentally, Naruto returned, Jiraiya returned, and although we didn't see that person, Tsunade must have returned as well.

Therefore, it must be more than just the third generation who goes to the capital; this should be the formal succession issue of the fifth generation.

And the results of the Chunin Exams.

If Kakashi isn't mistaken, the announcement will likely be made by the new Fifth Hokage, Lady Tsunade.

The so-called "disciple of the emperor"—no, Kakashi didn't know this concept at the moment.

However, this does not prevent him from knowing this operating mode.

"almost."

Kakashi looked at Sasuke gently.

His three disciples—no, Naruto—are already Jonin, as he took this exam.

The remaining two should be able to advance to Chunin, right?

With all three of his disciples having been promoted to Chunin, Kakashi wanted to ask Guy, Asuma, and, by the way, Kurenai, "Have all your disciples been promoted to Chunin?"

Do I really have a talent for teaching and nurturing students?

Kakashi hadn't thought anything of it at first, but given the facts and the praise from so many people, he started to have some doubts.

He shook his head slightly, dismissing the question from his mind. "If things go quickly, it should be within this week."

Sasuke nodded.

Having resolved my inner doubts, the next question naturally arises.

However, thinking about the problems ahead, Sasuke's gaze kept involuntarily drifting to Kakashi's left eye.

"Kakashi-sensei"

"Is there anything you want to teach me about the Sharingan?"

Sasuke lowered his head, feeling slightly uncomfortable asking the question.

He, an Uchiha, a proud Uchiha, actually had to ask an outsider for advice on how to use the Sharingan.

But as an orphan, he had always figured things out on his own, and no one had ever taught him how to use the Sharingan.

Sasuke himself knew that he was only asking questions in order to advance to the Mangekyou Sharingan.

'The Sharingan?'

Upon hearing this question, Kakashi unconsciously reached out and touched his right eye, which was covered by his headband.

He then thought of his teammate who was committing evil deeds in the ninja world.

After a moment of confusion, I came to my senses.

Looking at Sasuke with his head down in front of him, Kakashi felt that he was different from before.

However, things seem to be moving in a positive direction.

Thinking of this, Kakashi couldn't help but smile gently behind his mask.

"I do have some experience in using the Sharingan, but I hope I won't mislead you."

"It's alright, Kakashi-sensei!"

Sasuke looked up, his eyes filled with a thirst for knowledge, which made Kakashi agree.

"Okay, come pick it up tomorrow morning at the meatball shop."

"Tomorrow morning? Why?"

Before Sasuke could finish speaking, a bright and beautiful woman walked over.

Sasuke knew this woman.

Sister Hua Hua?

"Huh? It's Sasuke-chan!"

Sister Hua smiled generously, quite surprised.

Her use of the term "child" did not offend Sasuke at all.

However, Sasuke instantly understood why Kakashi-sensei was there.

So they were waiting for someone!

"Did I disturb you?" Hua Hua turned her head to look at Kakashi.

"No, we've finished talking."

Kakashi, looking like a cool guy, turned around and left with Hana, whether to avoid being laughed at by his disciples or for some other reason.

"Let's go."

See you next time, Sasuke-chan.

Halfway there, Kakashi turned around and winked at Sasuke.

Sasuke understood Kakashi's gaze—"You should have some life of your own, kid!"

life?

Sasuke felt he didn't have time to enjoy these things; he had one thing he absolutely had to do—revenge!

"Should we wait until tomorrow?"

After muttering something to himself, Sasuke also turned and left.

The thought of having to face the adorable Sakura again when he got back gave Sasuke goosebumps.

"Huh?"

Not far away, Shikamaru exclaimed in surprise, "Look, isn't that Sasuke?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Ino out of the corner of his eye.

Ino glanced at it once, but then showed no further reaction.

Choji glanced at Sasuke again, "I didn't see Naruto."

With a sigh, he turned to Ino and asked meaningfully, "He's all alone. Are you really going to give up?"

give up?

Ino certainly didn't want to give up!

If possible, she would like both Naruto and Sasuke, two handsome men, to pursue her.

However, the reality is that Ino doesn't want to compete with Sakura for Sasuke, which would cause the two to fall out!

Although that's what she thought in her heart, Ino still didn't admit defeat verbally.

"Hmph~ Give up? I've never even tried!"

Upon hearing this, Shikamaru and Choji exchanged sidelong glances.

Never chased after one?

When we were kids, I don't know who it was, but they would always hang around Sasuke, shouting, "You're so cool, Sasuke! Go Sasuke!!!"
