"Okay, that should be enough, before Kakashi-sensei comes back."
Naruto slightly loosened the rope that bound Sakura, allowing her to reluctantly take out her hands to eat. And his own untouched lunch was taken away by Satsuki without any explanation.
"Well... thank you very much..."
Sakura's eyes were slightly red, and his voice was choked with emotion. He carefully picked up Satsuki's lunch box and began to eat in small bites. Warm food not only dispels hunger, but also brings a sense of warmth.
On the other side, Satsuki was holding Naruto's lunch box, with an imperceptible blush on his cheeks. She pretended to be calm and picked up a piece of tamagoyaki with her chopsticks. Her eyes were a little erratic, but she pretended to take it as a matter of course.
"Okay, Naruto, come here. Since we only have this pair of chopsticks, there is nothing we can do about it."
She raised her hand slightly and handed the food to Naruto. Her gesture clearly meant that she wanted to feed him personally.
When Naruto saw this, he was slightly startled at first, then smiled with understanding, lowered his head in cooperation, opened his mouth and moved closer to the chopsticks.
Seeing Naruto's face getting closer and closer and her lips about to touch the food, Satsuki's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and a burst of joy and excitement surged uncontrollably in her heart. She could hardly suppress the upward curve of the corners of her mouth——
"Bang!"
The next moment, a huge muffled sound exploded! Along with the flying smoke and fierce momentum, a silver figure suddenly appeared in front of the three of them like a ghost!
Kakashi obviously saw the "illegal" scene just now, and landed heavily in an extremely oppressive posture, causing the ground to tremble slightly. His whole body exuded a frightening low pressure. Although the mask covered most of his face, the only exposed eyes were filled with "angry" and "hope".
"You guys!"
This sudden roar and the appearance of Kakashi instantly froze the delicate atmosphere of the scene! Sakura was so frightened that he almost dropped his lunch box on the ground, and the color drained from his face.
Satsuki The chopsticks holding the food shook violently, and she quickly retracted her hand, subconsciously trying to hide the lunch box behind her back.
"How brave!"
The chakra deliberately released by Kakashi formed a tangible pressure, causing a faint thunder to be heard in the clear sky, and dark clouds began to gather.
"How dare you blatantly violate the rules I set? You should know very well what this means, right?"
The substantial sense of oppression made Sakura tremble all over. When she saw Kakashi's truly furious look, an unprecedented courage suddenly burst out from the bottom of her heart.
"Wait, wait a minute!" she almost screamed.
"Huh?" Kakashi's oppressive gaze locked on her instantly, "What's wrong? You little brat who broke the rules, do you have anything else to say?"
"That... is not their fault! It was not decided by Naruto-kun and Satsuki!"
Sakura mustered up all his courage and his voice became louder and louder, "It's... it's me! I begged them to give me some food! Everything is my responsibility!"
Seeing Sakura actually stepping forward at such a time, trying to take all the responsibility on himself, the corners of Kakashi's mouth under the mask could almost uncontrollably rise, and I felt extremely happy.
On the surface, he still maintained the angry look about to come, and his eyes slowly turned to Naruto and Satsuki.
"Oh? Is that so?" He looked forward to their answer.
Satsuki on the side bit his lower lip tightly, why? Why do teachers always jump out and confuse things at such critical moments!
There was a strong sense of unwillingness and irritability in her heart. Obviously... it's just a little bit worse! It was hard to find a valid reason...
"It's not like that!" Satsuki seemed to have been ignited, and he raised his head suddenly, loudly retorted to Yu like a broken jar, and tightly grabbed the sleeve of Naruto beside him.
"This was all my idea! I was going to give her the bento! Well, anyway, I've already prepared to repeat the exam!" She shouted as if she was risking her life, "If you fail, you will fail! What's the big deal!"
Anyway, Naruto has promised me a long time ago! If something unexpected happens, he will accompany me to read it again!
This idea gave her endless confidence. It doesn't matter where you are! As long as there is a place where Naruto can be found!
And...Naruto He loves me the most! He will definitely be on my side!
Finally, Kakashi cast his oppressive eyes on Naruto, who never spoke.
Naruto looked at the teacher Jonin who was scaring the children in front of him. He felt a little funny and decided to give the teacher some face.
"I'm sorry, Kakashi-sensei. We violated your rules, and we admit it. Yes..."
His eyes glanced at Satsuki who was clutching his cuffs tightly, then at Sakura who was still trying to straighten his back despite being scared, and finally looked at Kakashi again.
"I'm just the kind of person who can't let go of my teammates! I watch my teammates starve and suffer, but stand by and do nothing for the sake of so-called qualifications... I, Uzumaki Naruto, can never do this kind of thing!"
"That's it..."
The next second, the terrifying chakra coercion and cold anger around Kakashi instantly faded away like a tide, and even the thunder in the sky quietly dissipated.
The next second, an extremely gratified and warm smile appeared on his face.
"Then you - all qualified!"
"... Eh? Yes, qualified? Why, why?"
This sudden and shocking reversal left Sakura completely confused. Her eyes widened and she was completely unable to understand the sudden turn of events.
Satsuki on the side was also stunned, and subconsciously loosened his grip on Naruto's sleeves.
"Because this is the real test - a test of team spirit." Kakashi stopped smiling and his tone became gentle and serious. "In the past, too many brats would only rigidly abide by the superficial rules. In order to pass the test, they could watch their companions starve and be punished. They were even glad that they were not the ones who were eliminated..."
His gaze became profound.
"Indeed, we call those who break the rules and iron laws of the Ninja world a waste... But - people who don't know how to treat their companions are worse than waste!"
...Naruto Although he has no sympathy for that bastard Uchiha Obito, he thinks this sentence is pretty good.
"So, I declare that all members are qualified! Team 7 will officially carry out the mission from tomorrow!"
"It's too... too stupid!!"
The huge joy, like a warm current, instantly washed away the fear and anxiety in Sakura's heart. Tears of excitement flashed in the corners of his eyes, and he couldn't help but cheer.
At this moment, Naruto suddenly felt a person with a faint fragrance leaning gently on his arm.
He lowered his head and saw Satsuki burying the side of her face deeply into his arm, her black hair rubbing against his skin, and she repeated in a low voice.
"It's too silly..."
Naruto smiled and was about to suggest that we go have something to eat together to celebrate——
[Ding!]
[Congratulations to the host: establishing the initial Bonds with the original character "Hatake Kakashi"!]
[Points earned: 350 points!]
This unexpected gain made Naruto feel even better. He immediately raised his head and suggested enthusiastically.
"So, Kakashi-sensei! To celebrate the official establishment of Team 7! Let me treat everyone to a meal! Let the teacher come and taste my craftsmanship!"
"Huh?"
Kakashi blinked his only exposed eye in confusion, and subconsciously looked at the lunch box he prepared, "Is the lunch box I prepared not to your liking?"
It stands to reason that his cooking skills are pretty good. Lin and Obito used to like his cooking...
"It won't be wasted!"
Naruto quickly waved his hand, "This has been sitting all morning, and the teacher's bento has already become cold! The taste must be a lot worse! Come on, come on, believe me, the teacher will never be disappointed!"
"... There's really nothing I can do against you."
Kakashi looked at the three excited students in front of him, especially Naruto's eyes full of expectation and confidence. He finally smiled and shook his head and accepted the proposal, "Tuo, then let me look forward to your craftsmanship."
Watching Naruto happily go to completely untie the cheering Sakura, Kakashi stood there with a wonderful sense of warmth and responsibility in his heart.
I finally... became a teacher.
Same as Minato-sensei...
He tilted his head slightly to hide the deeper smile at the corner of his mouth, and then habitually took out an orange-covered book from his ninja bag that looked extremely illicit. He pretended to read it leisurely while slowly following behind the three laughing students.
