I, Who Participated in the Chunin Exam, Was Broadcast Live!

Minato Namikaze: The title of this group is a bit scary. I hope I'm not included.

·········

And so, amid the discussion among the successive Hokage about how Kakashi was already suffering from kidney deficiency at such a young age, Kakashi closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he had regained control of his body.

He couldn't chat and control his body at the same time.

But now was a time when he had to show up.

"Jingle--"

With two bells hanging from his waist, Kakashi entered the classroom and immediately spotted Kitahara Kaede, Naruto, and Sasuke.

Kitahara Kaede and Sasuke were sitting on desks, but the distance between them was considerable.

Naruto, meanwhile, had jumped straight onto Sasuke's desk.

Then... probably because Sasuke was annoyed that Naruto had jostled the desk, Naruto lost his balance and pressed directly against Sasuke.

The two exchanged their first kiss.

And in the small group, they continued to have an opportunity to observe.

Following Minato's suggestion, the group was tasked with observing Kitahara Kaede, and since Naruto was also with Kitahara Kaede, they could incidentally see everyone.

But.

What now came into everyone's view was... Naruto kissing Sasuke.

"Smack--"

Both Naruto and Sasuke seemed completely stunned, and in their panic, they pressed together again.

!!!

This...

Not only was Kakashi, who had just entered, stunned, but everyone in the group was too.

Hashirama Senju: I feel like I've walked into the wrong era. Is it this open now?

Tobirama Senju: Even a hundred years from now, it couldn't become like this. It must be a misunderstanding.

Minato Namikaze: Whew. If only it were a misunderstanding. If only it were a misunderstanding.

Right.

There's no way Naruto would be with a guy.

"Damn you, Sasuke!" Naruto finally separated from Sasuke and quickly wiped his lips with his hand.

"Gross." Naruto complained.

"..." Sasuke. "You're the gross one."

As the cool, handsome guy in the class, Sasuke had no interest in fangirls; in fact, he found them annoying.

But now, suddenly kissing Naruto, he felt... he might as well have paid attention to the girls.

Otherwise... his first kiss wouldn't have gone to a guy.

"Ha!"

Naruto seemed provoked.

"Look at me with new eyes after three days!"

"Now I've got help from Kitahara, hehe!"

"My ninjutsu flows without a hitch!"

Saying this, Naruto immediately began forming hand signs. "You said I'm gross."

"Then take this!"

"Ninjutsu: Sexy Jutsu!"

Bam!

Naruto's hands moved quickly through the hand signs, and in his place appeared an ultra-cute girl with golden twin tails, wearing a sloppy outfit with her zipper pulled down to her sternum.

This was Naruto's signature move—the Sexy Jutsu!

"See..."

"Still gross now?"

Naruto gently placed a hand on Sasuke's shoulder.

Minato Namikaze: Woah--

Even the gentle and refined Minato was stunned.

Hashirama Senju: Minato, your son is really something.

Tobirama Senju: This is truly indecent!

Hashirama Senju: Huh? Tobirama, are you not interested in girls? Wait, you're not unmarried, are you?

Tobirama Senju: Hmph! Big Brother just dumped the Hidden Leaf on me. I'm busy every day—when would I have time to fall in love?

Hashirama Senju: Uh...

Minato Namikaze: Still, Naruto's crossdressing looks pretty good.

Minato was Minato. Though he'd been shocked at first, he felt he'd failed Naruto.

So even if Naruto had that kind of tendency, he'd support it.

After all, it was the only thing he could do as a father.

"That scared me!" Minato Namikaze, who'd just walked into the classroom, voiced his opinion.

Ps: Darlings, I need flowers, ratings, monthly tickets.

Everything's needed during the new-book period.

The power's about to go out. I'll continue updating after 19:00.

Chapter 10: Team 7, Got It, This Is the Orphan Squad! (Plead for Data)

Kakashi propped himself against the wall with one hand, leaning there.

"What are you doing?" Kakashi raised his voice a notch.

"Ah..." x2

Seeing Kakashi appear, Sasuke and Naruto snapped to attention.

Naruto quickly dispelled the Sexy Jutsu with a bang.

"Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, Kitahara Kaede." Kakashi held a roster in his hand.

"Here!" Naruto responded promptly.

"Here..." Sasuke answered quickly too.

Kitahara Kaede, who'd been watching the show and finally witnessed the destined kiss between Naruto and Sasuke, began to reply.

He'd thought the exam was over and this world-famous scene wouldn't happen, but it proved these two truly had inseparable Bonds.

·····

"First, let me introduce myself," Kakashi Hatake said.

"I'm Kakashi Hatake, an Elite Jonin of the Hidden Leaf. I'll be leading you in practical training."

"Of course, this guidance is ongoing—once a teacher, always a teacher."

"I'll do my best to train you."

Kakashi spoke.

Even as he said this, everyone stared at him curiously.

Kakashi's appearance was unique.

His forehead protector was slanted over his head, covering his left eye.

He also wore a mask, revealing only part of his right eye—it looked very peculiar.

"Is being a ninja this dangerous?" Naruto said. "Getting so many injuries, all on your face, and having to cover them up."

"..." Kakashi.

"I'm not great at expressing emotions, so showing my whole face would be awkward."

"That's why I cover it," Kakashi explained.

I see.

If it was a fetish, that was easier to understand.

"Now it's your turn to introduce yourselves, right?" Kakashi said.

He'd actually gotten their files last night.

But this was a chance for the three of them to get to know each other.

"Then I'll go first," Kitahara Kaede said.

Kitahara Kaede observed (^_-) Small Group

Tobirama Senju: Kitahara Kaede isn't the type to strike up conversations. Him taking the initiative is a bit novel.

Hashirama Senju: Tobirama, you're really invested in Kitahara Kaede.

Tobirama Senju: Of course. First, I can confirm his intelligence is on par with mine.

Plus, he can use Wood Release—that's extremely important, you know.

For the Hidden Leaf, someone like that is a huge asset! Worth cultivating properly.

Hashirama Senju: Sorry for the trouble, Tobirama. Even after death, you're still worrying about the Hidden Leaf.

Tobirama Senju: Speaking of which, it pisses me off. Big Brother, you just left so easily and dumped the Hidden Leaf on me—

Hashirama Senju: Sorry...

As the group chatted, they heard Kitahara Kaede's voice.

"Kitahara Kaede, holder of the Wood Release Bloodline Limit. Since I was experimented on from childhood, I don't know my parents' information. Judging by that, I'm probably an orphan," Kitahara Kaede said.

"..." Kakashi, Naruto, Sasuke.

Sasuke touched his head.

"Sasuke Uchiha, survivor of the Uchiha Clan, both parents dead. Although... I still have an older brother, but... my only goal right now is to get stronger and kill him."

"..." Kakashi, Naruto.

It was Naruto's turn.

"Naruto Uzumaki! I've lived alone since birth. I don't know who my parents are. An orphan."

"..." Kakashi.

"..." Kakashi.

"Then I'll reintroduce myself too," Kakashi said. "Kakashi Hatake. My mother died when I was born, and my father killed himself. I live alone. Also an orphan."

"..." Naruto, Sasuke, Kitahara Kaede.

The Observing Kitahara Kaede Small Group was very quiet.

Then.

Hashirama Senju: Ah, this... how are they all orphans!

The main reason Hashirama Senju founded the Hidden Leaf Village was for peace.

He hoped children could grow up, and that ninjas wouldn't die before age twenty.

And that there wouldn't be so many orphans.

But... now Team 7 was all orphans... that was really a slap in the face.
