Kakashi looked at the group of brats before him, feeling a headache coming on.
These drunks had indeed been beaten up, and quite severely at that; the one in the worst shape was barely recognizable as human anymore...
However, since these brats were not ninjas, this was, at most, just a standard civil dispute.
Yet, if he didn't handle this matter, the optics would be rather poor.
"A bunch of brats... you really aren't cute at all! Since you've already stated you're students at the Ninja Academy, this matter must be reported to your teachers and parents. Regardless of the circumstances, you must provide the victims with the compensation they are due!"
Hearing that lazy tone, Ito Hirofumi confirmed that the guy in front of him was none other than Kakashi!
With a head full of spiky white hair and a listless, lethargic expression, who else could it be but the Konoha Technician, the Hatake Five-Five Split, the Scraping Master?!
"Sure, no problem at all! Notify the parents, pay the compensation, whatever is needed! My name is Ito Hirofumi! My father is Ito Aoyama!!!"
Kakashi raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. The Ito Clan? This brat seemed to be the young heir of the Ito Clan...
While the Ito Clan wasn't exactly a major power in Konoha, they were certainly well-known!
Ito Aoyama was much older than him, a veteran Jonin whose strength was not to be underestimated! It was highly likely he had already stepped into the ranks of elite Jonin...
Though, to him, it would probably just be a Five-Five Split anyway.
Besides, this brat Ito Hirofumi had such a spoiled, arrogant air about him that it was truly annoying!
At this moment, Yamanaka Ino was the first to step up beside Ito Hirofumi.
"My name is Yamanaka Ino! I took part in the fighting too! My father is Yamanaka Inoichi, the current head of the Yamanaka Clan!!! So, notifying parents or whatever is perfectly fine!"
Kakashi scratched his head upon hearing this, feeling that the situation was becoming rather difficult to manage...
One from the Ito Clan, one from the Yamanaka Clan, and both were the children of their respective clan heads.
"What a drag. You lot better not make us late for our dinner! Otherwise, Choji and Uzumaki Naruto will definitely be disappointed!"
Nara Shikamaru walked over with his hands behind his head, using his arms as a pillow...
"I am Nara Shikamaru, my father is Nara Shikaku!!! The head of the Nara Clan!"
As Nara Shikamaru's voice faded, the rest of the group crowded around...
"Ninja-sama! My name is Akimichi Choji, my father is Akimichi Choza!!!"
"My father is Aburame Shibi!!!"
"My father is Inuzuka Gaku!!!"
Kakashi felt his entire body go numb hearing these declarations. Fine, fine! They're all children of major clans, aren't they?!
And every single one of them was the child of a clan head!
Tell me, why are you lot from these prestigious families picking fights with these drunks anyway?!
Look at what you did to them... you could have at least gone easy on them...
Haruno Sakura felt a pang of envy seeing all her friends coming from such prominent families, then reflected on the fact that she was merely a commoner.
But then, thinking back to the miserable state Uzumaki Naruto had been in earlier, Haruno Sakura decided she had done nothing wrong!
Standing up for one's friends—wasn't that just common sense?!
Besides, she had fought side-by-side with Uchiha Sasuke just now!!!
So happy!!!
If it happened again, she would absolutely stand up! She could never let Uchiha Sasuke look down on her!!!
"My name is Haruno Sakura!!! Although... although I'm not from any clan!!! But standing with my friends—isn't that just the natural thing to do?!!!"
Uzumaki Naruto looked at Haruno Sakura stepping forward, his face full of emotion, his eyes practically sparkling!
Hyuga Hinata looked at Naruto's reaction, then at her cousin standing beside her. Gritting her teeth, she gathered her courage and stepped right to the front!
"My name is Hyuga Hinata!!! My father is Hyuga Hiashi!!!"
Hyuga Neji was left stunned by this scene. Why had his cousin changed so much over this period?!
First, she participated in a group brawl, and now she was throwing her family name around!
Was this really the soft, timid cousin he used to know?!
Why did she look like the boss of a criminal syndicate now...
Damn it!!! Is this a genjutsu?!!
When did it happen?!!
Kakashi had only had a headache before, but now he had a toothache. How did the Hyuga Clan get dragged into this too?!
Especially Hyuga Hinata, the young lady of the Hyuga Clan—wasn't she supposed to be a very timid girl?! Why did she look like a gang leader now?!
Especially that line about her father, Hyuga Hiashi...
Was it really necessary to shout it so loudly?!
One had to remember that the Hyuga Clan was currently the number one major clan in Konoha!!!
Uchiha Sasuke watched everyone else showing off, and in his heart, he actually really wanted to show off too.
But when he thought about how he was the only one left of the Uchiha Clan, what use was it even if his father was Uchiha Fugaku?!
However, he absolutely could not pass up an opportunity to show off!
With his hands in his pockets, looking up at the starry sky at a forty-five-degree angle, he strode forward with an arrogant, swaggering gait...
"My name is Uchiha Sasuke! I am the one who carries the pride of the Uchiha Clan! The pride of the Uchiha Clan will never allow me to abandon my friends!!!"
At this moment, Uzumaki Naruto felt as if his heart was exploding!!!
It was burning!!
It was truly burning!!!
"My name is Uzumaki Naruto!!!
I am the man who will definitely become Hokage!!!
I will become Hokage! And then I will gain everyone's recognition!!!
You all better listen up!!!!
This great me is not some demon fox brat!!
My name is Uzumaki Naruto!!!"
Hearing the name Uzumaki Naruto, the pupils beneath Hatake Kakashi's mask fluctuated violently...
"Uzumaki Naruto, is it? This feeling of being full of sunshine is really just like the teacher..."
The two Anbu ninjas behind Hatake Kakashi looked at each other in dismay.
These children from the great clans were not to be trifled with!
"Captain..."
"Captain, what should we do?!"
"Yeah, Captain, are we still going to take all these brats down?!"
Hatake Kakashi scratched his white hair, looking listless as he spoke.
"If you want to take them, then go ahead; either way, I'm not getting involved in this matter.
Just go back and report to the Third Hokage in a while, and let the Third Hokage handle it. As for their clans, whether they pay compensation or whatever else happens is none of our business..."
"Captain is wise!!!!" x2
Swish, swish, swish!!!
Just like that, the three Anbu ninjas came and went in a flash...
On this side, the new generation of Konoha 12 gathered together with Ito Hirofumi.
Carrying all sorts of ingredients on their backs, the group set off in a grand procession toward the direction of the Uchiha Clan...
Hyuga Neji, Rock Lee, and Tenten had all joined in as well. Although Hyuga Neji's expression remained icy, the corners of his mouth had inadvertently curled up.
