The New Generation Graduation Season Begins
Naruto, Sasuke, and Nawaki were assigned to the same group under the Third Hokage's principle of fairness, justice, and complete balance.
Hinata and Neji were temporarily kept at the school due to their age.
Naruto, carefree, pulled the two of them outside, "Big Brother Kakashi won't be on time. Let's go eat noodles first and come back later."
He knew Kakashi too well; he was never on time.
However, Kakashi, who had just been threatened by Tsunade today, even arrived at the classroom early, just before Naruto and the others left.
"Where are they?!"
Where are my team members? I know you guys have connections, but you can't do this, right? Do I, the supervising teacher, have to go find you?
"Summoning Technique! Pakkun! Smell where Naruto and the others went."
The handsome and charming Pakkun extended one finger.
"Deal."
Pakkun knew Naruto and was familiar with their scent.
"It seems like they just left. Kakashi, if you chase in that direction, you should be able to see them."
Kakashi nodded, "Okay, I'll buy you some dog biscuits next time."
He moved like the wind, like a shadow.
The three who were just sitting at Ichiraku Ramen, about to gobble down noodles, saw Kakashi speeding towards them. Naruto proudly shouted, "See? I knew he wouldn't be on time! Now we run into him here while eating ramen."
Kakashi's forehead was covered in sweat, "Naruto! You failed. Go back to school and repeat the year."
Naruto flailed and lay on the ground, making a fuss, "What! Big Brother Kakashi! You can't do this to me!"
"Of course, I can. I'm the supervising teacher."
Naruto gritted his teeth; his little frog wallet was about to shrink, "Uncle Ichiraku, one deluxe ramen, plus an extra serving of pork, for Kakashi-sensei."
Kakashi's one eye narrowed into a crescent shape, "I'll take it to go. Tomorrow morning at five o'clock, meet at the usual place. If you're late again, you'll go straight back to school."
When paying the bill, Naruto looked pitifully at Nawaki, "Nawaki, can you?"
"No."
He looked at Sasuke, "Sasuke, can you?"
"No."
"Ah... my little frog wallet..."
...
In Konoha's sacred place, Swain was discussing the advanced mathematics problem of how to arrange thirteen cards with Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade.
"One Bamboo."
Swain laughed loudly, "Hu! Thirteen Orphans! Haha, Tsunade, you lost again! Pay up!"
Each player was basically winning money, except for Tsunade, who only lost.
"Ah! Damn it! Jiraiya! Why aren't you feeding me cards!"
Heaven and Earth, I really did feed you cards... but you lost to others with Eighteen Arhats and a single waiting card, what can I do...
Jiraiya had to change the subject and asked Orochimaru beside him, "By the way, brother, what's your name?"
Orochimaru chuckled, pointing at himself, "You're asking me what my name is?"
Swain also smiled, "Yeah, what's your name?"
Tsunade also asked with a strange expression, "Yeah, what's your name?"
Orochimaru skillfully arranged the tiles, "Yeah, what's my name?"
Swain looked at the tiles, all suited pairs, "Three Dot. Hey, Jiraiya, you really don't know his name?"
Jiraiya asked strangely, "Pong! How would I know his name? Tsunade, what do you want? Five Wan."
Tsunade was excited, waiting for a match on three, six, or nine Wan! "Don't ask while playing! Five Wan!"
Orochimaru drew a tile, self-drew a small hand, "Hu, pay up. But Jiraiya, you really don't know who I am? Think carefully."
Tsunade slammed her fist on the mahjong table, "Do you even know how to play? You win with a small hand! I was about to win with a pure hand from underneath!"
Jiraiya comforted Tsunade, paying for Tsunade out of his own pocket. It wasn't being a simp; it was that Tsunade really had no money.
"I really haven't met you before? Why are you asking that? Did you use a transformation technique?"
Swain was also unhappy, winning with a small hand before my pure hand, "Arrange the tiles! Keep chatting while you're playing! He didn't use a transformation technique, but you should know him."
Orochimaru dealt, "Three Bamboo, take a good look."
Swain drew a tile, damn it, he won't wait for that one, "Red Dragon! Yeah you take a good look."
"Kong! I can't tell, that's why I'm asking you. Tsunade, what do you want? Bird."
"Wait! I won! Haha, finally! Seven Pairs! Pay up!"
Swain pretended not to see Jiraiya secretly looking at Tsunade's hand and then feeding her tiles.
He took out a stack of silver notes and sent them over.
Jiraiya looked for a long time and suddenly shouted, "Wait, why do I think you look so much like me? Could you be?"
Tsunade's face was cold, "I really didn't expect you to be that kind of person."
Orochimaru smiled, "Yeah, I really didn't expect you to be that kind of person."
Swain said to Tsunade, "See? He's just that kind of person."
Jiraiya was on the verge of tears, "That kind of person! I wasn't trying to say that; I was just trying to say, are he and I brothers?"
Swain couldn't hold back, "He's Orochimaru, can't you tell?"
"What?!"
"What?!"
Two exclamations!
Swain watched as the mahjong table was about to be flipped, "Sit down, sit down. Orochimaru, don't tell me you don't know what happened when he betrayed the village."
Jiraiya was much calmer; he had learned the inside story of what happened that year while investigating.
Tsunade, well, she hadn't stood up anyway. She didn't care who it was. All she wanted was to win.
"So, Orochimaru, are you coming back to the village? Nine Dot?"
"Pong! After Danzo is dead, Eight Bamboo!"
"I told you, if the root is rotten, you have to replace it, but you wouldn't listen. Kong! Self-draw Full Flush!"
"My win from underneath!!!"
...
The next morning, as the sun just rose, the three, yawning, looked at Kakashi with a lot of resentment.
"Alright, you guys are very punctual today. So, I'll give you a reward. Come and try to take these bells. If you get them, one of you will pass!"
The scheming Kakashi had already begun his divide-and-conquer plan.
However, the three in front of him were unmoved; instead, they used rock-paper-scissors to determine their order.
Kakashi was embarrassed, "What does this mean?"
"To take the bells, of course. Can't we just take turns?" Naruto said matter-of-factly.
In the end, it was decided that Naruto would go first, Sasuke second, and Nawaki third.
"Come on, Big Brother Kakashi, I'll be gentle."
Kakashi smiled, took out a copy of Make-Out Paradise and started reading it. As expected, he was still that blockhead.
But what happened next made his jaw drop, and he almost threw the book away.
"Wood Release! Great Forest Technique!
Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!
First team attack! Second team supplement with long-range Ninjutsu, and the rest go with me for a head-on fight!"
Naruto put his hands together and shouted loudly.
Giant trees rose from the ground, becoming more vibrant. The Great Forest Technique was the best Wood Release technique for battlefield control with a small amount of Chakra.
Multiple wooden vines extended from his arms to attack and bind the opponent.
Kakashi's pupils shrank; this kid had the frontal combat power of a special Jonin...
Body Flicker Technique!
There wasn't much chance for a head-on battle. High-damage Ninjutsu wasn't applicable. He should use a Genjutsu to solve this.
Clone Technique!
Kakashi had very little Chakra; the clone he created was just an image to confuse the enemy.
But it caught the attention of Naruto's Shadow Clone, which shouted and rushed over, creating a cloud of smoke.
Kakashi smiled wryly; he really envied Naruto's amount of Chakra...
Earth Release: Earth Dragon Hide Technique!
Kakashi disappeared into the underground, waiting for an opportunity to strike the enemy.
"You've been hit, Kakashi-sensei!"
It was Nawaki!
"Wood Release! Adamantine Prison Wood!"
This is bad!
These three guys are much smarter than they look. Were they just ordering themselves to trick me?
Substitution Jutsu!
He didn't have many wooden logs; he only had one chance left to dodge.
Just as he was thinking that, he heard the sound of a bird!
"Chidori!"
Sasuke, bathed in lightning, had arrived!
Substitution Jutsu!
Was he forced to this extent? He could only...
Kakashi uncovered the Sharingan, but he heard the sound of a Wind Demon Shuriken whistling behind him.
Nawaki threw a huge Shuriken at Kakashi.
This kind of weapon wouldn't hit a Jonin.
But in the air, under the control of Sasuke's Chakra threads, the Wind Demon Shuriken changed direction and came directly behind Kakashi.
Bang!
Wood Transformation Technique!
It's Naruto!
"You're done, Kakashi-sensei! Rasengan!"
This isn't taking the bells; this is trying to kill me...
"Water Release: Water Prison!"
Kakashi formed seals on the spot, using the Water Prison as protection in the air, negating Naruto's Rasengan.
Naruto wisely used Sasuke's Chakra threads to get away.
Nawaki seized the opportunity, "Wood Release! Wild Spear Wood!" A huge tree extended from Nawaki's right arm, devouring Kakashi's Water Prison.
Naruto had already landed.
He exchanged a look with Sasuke.
"Fire Release! Great Fire Annihilation!"
"Wind Release! Great Wind Blast!"
"Combined Ninjutsu! Great Fire Annihilation!"
"Triple Combination! Great Wild Fire Annihilation!"
Kakashi was careless, giving a wry smile as the Sharingan in his right eye began to spin, turning into a shuriken-shaped pattern.
It was Obito's Mangekyo Sharingan!
"Kamui!"
Using Sharingan as a non-Uchiha Clan member was overload. At this point, Kakashi regretted not sending a clone.
The Kamui's distortion swallowed the approaching combined Ninjutsu Great Wild Fire Annihilation.
Kakashi sat weakly on the ground, throwing out the bells, "You guys aren't taking the bells; you're trying to kill me..."
Using Kamui once didn't make Kakashi's eyes bleed, but he collapsed on the ground, unable to move.
Naruto and Nawaki giggled foolishly, and Sasuke said, "Brother Shisui said that in ninja battles, you must fight with the intention of killing the opponent to win."
Nawaki also remembered, "Teacher Orochimaru also said."
Only Naruto pondered for a long time, "I don't know; I was just randomly fighting. Did we pass?"
Kakashi lay sprawled on the grass, "Yes, you passed. Now, the first mission is to take me to the ninja hospital."
"Yes!"
