March 16, 60th year of the Konoha calendar, noon, Memorial Garden.
Yamazaki and Meidai stood aside objectively, Uzumaki Naruto was tied to a stake and danced in protest, Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura sat on the ground, and Hatake Kakashi stood in front of everyone.
"Now I declare that Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, none of you three need to go back to ninja school."
Kakashi Hatake's words made the three of them overjoyed.
Uzumaki Naruto cheered for joy, and Haruno Sakura was even thinking, I just passed out. This must be the power of love between me and Sasuke.
"Because you don't even need to be ninjas anymore."
Hatake Kakashi changed the subject and poured a basin of ice water on the three of them.
Uchiha Sasuke was so angry that he rushed over with a teleportation technique, but Hatake Kakashi was faster and more powerful. He directly pushed Uchiha Sasuke to the ground, sat on him, and stepped on Uchiha Sasuke's head.
Haruno Sakura said angrily: "Don't step on Sasuke's head!"
"You three underestimate ninjas too much," Hatake Kakashi asked, "Do you know why we need to practice in groups?"
Mei Daizi interjected: "Because the four-person team is a standard combat team, it is in the shape of a triangular pyramid, with three covering the three sides and one covering the top. After fighting, they can change positions at any time according to the opponent, either to attack, support or rest." Then.
He said, "I just don't know what you are doing, Mr. Kakashi. You are obviously bullying them."
Uzumaki Naruto responded, "That's right."
Kakashi Hatake said coldly: "I'm just testing their teamwork in groups of three."
"Ah?" The five people were surprised.
Kakashi Hatake said coldly: "Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, if the three of you cooperate..."
Haruno Sakura interrupted: "Wait, if we are required to cooperate, then why are there only two bells? Even if three people cooperate, one person will not be able to get it in the end. I am afraid that before we can cooperate, there will be internal strife.
.”
"Of course, this is a test deliberately arranged to cause internal strife, in order to select people who can ignore their own interests and perform team tasks well under such circumstances." Hatake Kakashi said coldly, "
But the three of you, Sakura, you only have eyes for Sasuke; Naruto, you know how to run amok alone; and Sasuke, you see them both as a burden."
Meidaizi interrupted: "Mr. Kakashi, as a leader, team issues should be considered. It is your fault to put three people who can't deal with each other together."
Yamazaki said: "Don't talk about it, there will always be guys who don't fit in, and you have to give them a chance."
Hatake Kakashi said: "That's right, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, if the three of you cannot cooperate with each other when performing missions in the future, there will be a danger of being defeated one by one, just like now."
He put a kunai on Uchiha Sasuke's neck, "Sakura, you go kill Naruto now, or I will kill Sasuke!"
"Ah!" The three of them were shocked and their faces turned pale.
Kakashi Hatake collected the kunai and then stood up, "Your companions have been taken hostage and forced to make painful choices. What will you do?"
"..." The three of them had nothing to say.
Kakashi Hatake walked to the monument and said, "Ninja is a life-threatening profession. The many names engraved on this stone are all heroes of the village. My friends' names are also on it. Do you want to be like them?
?”
The three of them were speechless. This place commemorates the ninjas who died in the mission.
Hatake Kakashi sighed, "Forget it, I'll give you three one more chance. We will have another drill in the afternoon, but these two Bendou can only be eaten by Sasuke and Sakura, and cannot be given to Naruto.
Eat, this is a punishment for him breaking the rules and eating Bendang." Then he said in a cold voice, "If anyone dares to share it with him, I will let him fail. This is my rule."
Uzumaki Naruto immediately looked at Yamazaki and Midaiko. If Yamazaki and Midaiko helped, it would not be considered a foul.
"You two, come with me."
"yes."
After being named by Hatake Kakashi, Yamazaki and Meidai shrugged at Naruto Uzumaki, and there was nothing they could do to help...
A secluded place not far away.
"You two will stay here for now."
"yes."
After Hatake Kakashi left, Yamazaki and Meidai used space ninjutsu to take out the sealed food from the space ninjutsu scroll and started lunch...
At the wooden pile.
Uzumaki Naruto watched Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura open their Bendang, and while they were swallowing saliva, their stomachs growled loudly.
"Well, it's okay even if I don't eat. There's no problem at all."
Uchiha Sasuke said: "Don't hold on, I'll give you a little bit."
Uzumaki Naruto was very moved, "Sasuke."
Uchiha Sasuke said angrily: "I just don't want you to hold me back."
Haruno Sakura worried: "Is this good? Sasuke, Kakashi-sensei just said that whoever dares to give it to Naruto will be disqualified."
"That's right, I can bear it."
"Gu..."
Uzumaki Naruto's body can bear it, but his stomach obviously can't.
"It doesn't matter, he shouldn't be here now. We have three people to go grab the bell together in the afternoon. We can't let this guy drag us down."
"Then, just take my Bendang, Sasuke, you are the main combatant."
"Sakura..."
Uzumaki Naruto was so moved that he looked at Haruno Sakura with tears in his eyes, and tried his best to get Haruno Sakura to feed him.
Haruno Sakura reacted and immediately gritted her teeth, "Listen to me, I can't help it."
"Hmm, ah..."
"hateful!"
Haruno Sakura endured her dissatisfaction and fed a chopstick of rice into Uzumaki Naruto's mouth.
However, before Uzumaki Naruto could taste the taste of happiness, Kakashi Hatake appeared.
"puff!"
Uzumaki Naruto was so frightened that he spit out his rice, while Uchiha Sasuke was stunned.
Haruno Sakura turned her back and didn't notice. Instead, she yelled angrily, "Naruto, you..."
Before she finished speaking, Haruno Sakura saw it from Uzumaki Naruto's reaction. She was stunned for a moment and turned her head numbly to meet Hatake Kakashi's gloomy eyes.
"K, Kakashi-sensei..."
"Needless to say...you are qualified."
Just when the three of them thought they were dead this time, Kakashi Hatake suddenly smiled.
"ah?"
"The kid before just listened to me, but ninjas can't think according to common sense." Hatake Kakashi said, "Those who don't abide by the rules of the ninja world, we call them trash, but those who don't value their companions
People are worse than those trash."
Uzumaki Naruto said happily: "It's so cool."
"Okay, let's meet here at seven o'clock tomorrow morning." Hatake Kakashi said and walked away.
Haruno Sakura and Uchiha Sasuke looked at each other and also shied away.
"Hey, hey, don't leave. If you want to leave, you have to put me down first!"
Uzumaki Naruto, who was tied to a wooden stake, screamed so loudly that it shocked everyone, but he seemed to have completely forgotten the existence of ninja techniques such as the rope-unlocking technique...
Not far away, Mei Daizi bit her chopsticks and said, "Brother, what on earth is Mr. Kakashi doing? He blindly emphasizes unity and cooperation and values teammates more than rules. This is teaching people to be rebellious."
Yamazaki said: "Perhaps I have experienced losing my companions, so after that, I feel that everything is not as important as my companions. If the mission fails, I can make up for it. If my companions are gone, they are gone."
"That makes sense," Mei Daizi nodded, "It seems that's it." Then she continued, "But I still feel awkward. What's the point of having disobedient subordinates? If you choose a companion between a mission and a companion, give up the mission.
As a result, huge losses have been caused, so should he be killed to avoid any further consequences, or should he be mercifully let go and let others follow suit? That would be a mess."
Yamazaki said: "I don't understand either. Maybe he is trying to complete the task while paying attention to his companions."
Mei Daizi shrugged, "Anyway, I don't want such disobedient subordinates. We can discuss it outside of the mission, but we don't have to talk about it within the mission."
"Eat quickly, and go see the Hokage after you finish eating." Yamazaki said, "The seventh class has passed the assessment and has been officially established. We can follow."
"Yeah," Mei Daizi said with a smile, "The relationship between the three of Sakura and the others is very interesting, it must be fun."...
