Kakashi looked at the group of brats in front of him and felt a headache coming on.
These drunks had indeed been beaten up, and every one of them had taken a serious beating. The worst one didn't even look human anymore...
But none of these brats were ninjas, so no matter how you looked at it, this was just an ordinary dispute.
Still, it wouldn't look good if he didn't deal with it.
"A bunch of brats... You're really not cute at all! Since you've already said you're students at the Ninja Academy, we'll have to notify your teachers and parents. At the very least, you'll have to pay the victims appropriate compensation!"
Hearing the lazy tone, Ito Hirofumi was sure the guy in front of him was Kakashi!
That head of spiky white hair, that lethargic, worn-out look—if this wasn't the Konoha Technician, Hatake Five-Five Split, the Scraping Master, then who was it?!
"Sure, no problem! Notify our parents if you need to, and we'll pay compensation! My name is Ito Hirofumi! My father is Ito Aoyama!!!"
Kakashi raised an eyebrow. The Ito Clan? This brat seemed to be the clan's young master...
The Ito Clan wasn't one of Konoha's major clans, but it was still fairly well known!
Ito Aoyama was much older than him, a veteran jonin whose strength was no joke! He'd probably even reached the Elite Jonin level...
But against Kakashi, it'd still be a fifty-fifty fight.
Besides, this brat named Ito Hirofumi looked like an obnoxious rich kid!
At that moment, Yamanaka Ino was the first to step up beside Ito Hirofumi.
"My name is Yamanaka Ino! I fought too! My father is Yamanaka Inoichi, the current head of the Yamanaka Clan!!! So notifying our parents is no problem at all!"
Hearing that, Kakashi scratched his head. This was getting tricky...
One from the Ito Clan, another from the Yamanaka Clan, and both were children of clan heads.
"What a pain. We can't let this keep us from our meal! Choji and Naruto would be so disappointed!"
Nara Shikamaru walked over with his hands behind his head, resting it on his arms...
"I'm Nara Shikamaru, son of Nara Shikaku!!! The head of the Nara Clan!"
As soon as Shikamaru finished speaking, the rest of the Konoha 11 gathered around...
"Sir Ninja! I'm Akimichi Choji, son of Akimichi Choza!!!"
"My father is Aburame Shibi!!!"
"My father is Inuzuka Gaku!!!"
Hearing them, Kakashi was practically numb. Fine, fine! So they were all from major clans?!
And every single one was a clan head's child!
Why were all you kids from major clans picking fights with these drunks?!
Look at what you did to them... You could've gone a little easier...
Haruno Sakura felt envious seeing that all her friends came from clans. She was just a civilian, after all.
But then she thought of how miserably Uzumaki Naruto had looked a moment ago, and decided she hadn't done anything wrong!
Wasn't standing up for your friends only natural?!
Besides, she had fought side by side with Sasuke just now!!!
She was so happy!!!
She'd absolutely had to step up back then! She couldn't let Sasuke look down on her!!!
"My name is Haruno Sakura!!! I... I may not come from a clan!!! But of course I'd stand by my friends?!!!"
Watching Sakura step forward, Uzumaki Naruto was so moved his eyes practically sparkled!
Hyuga Hinata looked at Naruto's reaction, then at her brother standing beside her. She gritted her teeth, gathered her courage, and stepped to the front as well!
"My name is Hyuga Hinata!!! My father is Hyuga Hiashi!!!"
Hyuga Neji was dumbfounded. Why had his younger cousin changed so much lately?!
First she joined a brawl, and now she'd brought the clan into it!
Was this really the same timid, gentle girl she used to be?!
Why did she look like some underworld heiress now...
Damn it!!! Was this a genjutsu?!!
When Kakashi had first arrived, he'd only had a headache. Now his teeth hurt too. Why had the Hyuga Clan gotten involved?!
Especially since Hyuga Hinata, the young lady of the Hyuga Clan, was supposed to be such a timid girl?! Why did she look like a gang leader now?!
And that line just now—"My father is Hyuga Hiashi"...
Was she sure she wanted to shout it that loudly?!
The Hyuga Clan was Konoha's biggest clan, after all!!!
Watching everyone show off, Uchiha Sasuke secretly wanted to do the same.
But then he remembered that he was the only one left in the Uchiha Clan. What good would it do to say his father was Uchiha Fugaku?
Still, he couldn't pass up a chance to show off!
Hands in his pockets, gazing at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, walking with a swagger that said he didn't care about anyone...
"My name is Uchiha Sasuke! I bear the pride of the Uchiha Clan! The pride of the Uchiha Clan would never let me abandon my friends!!!"
By now, Uzumaki Naruto felt like his heart was about to explode!!!
He was fired up!!
Really fired up!!!
"My name is Uzumaki Naruto!!!
I'm going to become Hokage!!!
I'll become Hokage and earn everyone's recognition!!!
You all listen up!!!!
I'm not some demon fox brat!!
My name is Uzumaki Naruto!!!"
Hearing Naruto's name, Kakashi's visible eye twitched beneath his mask...
"Uzumaki Naruto? That sunny spirit of his really does remind me of my teacher..."
The two Anbu Ninja behind Kakashi exchanged glances.
These kids from the major clans were trouble!
"Captain..."
"Captain, what should we do?!"
"Right, Captain. Are we still supposed to take all these brats in?!"
Kakashi scratched his white hair and answered listlessly.
"If you want to take them in, go ahead. I'm not getting involved in this.
We'll report back to the Third Hokage later and let him handle it. As for whether their clans have to pay compensation or whatever, that has nothing to do with us..."
"Brilliant, Captain!!!!" x2
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!
And just like that, the three Anbu Ninja came and went in a flash...
Meanwhile, Konoha's new generation of Konoha 12 had gathered together with Ito Hirofumi.
Loaded down with all sorts of ingredients, the group set off for the Uchiha Clan in high spirits...
Hyuga Neji, Rock Lee, and Tenten joined them too. Neji still wore his usual icy expression, but the corner of his mouth had unconsciously curled up.
