When I saw Kakashi Hatake again, it was during Team 7's rest time after a regular training session.
The silver-haired Jonin, who has always been known as lazy, late and likes to read pornographic books, looks a little different today.
He did not lean against the tree trunk and read the pornographic book as usual, but stood on the edge of Training Ground with his hands behind his back, looking at Hokage Rock in the distance.
Although his face was still covered with a mask, only one crescent-shaped eye was exposed, but the aura emanating from his whole body gave people an inexplicable feeling of being happy and in a good mood. Even the silver hair on his head that was always messy seemed to be a bit smoother.
"Kakashi-sensei, you... seem a little different today?"
Sakura was keenly aware of this change and asked curiously.
Naruto, who had finished regular training, was sitting on the ground drinking water, while Sasuke was leaning against the tree with his arms folded, eyes closed, but his ears were moving slightly.
Kakashi Hearing this, he turned around, his exposed eye smiling even more.
I've been waiting for you to ask.
He cleared his throat and said in a deliberately casual tone:
"Ah, I just wanted to tell you. I am getting married to Hanare next month."
Naruto knew that it would be a matter of time and was not surprised.
Sakura's green eyes widened instantly, his mouth opened into an "O" shape, and his face was filled with disbelief.
Even Sasuke, who had been concentrating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, and a trace of astonishment flashed in his dark eyes.
So fast!
This was the first thought that popped into Sakura's mind. In her opinion, Kakashi-sensei and Hanare Older Sister, who surrendered to Konoha, had known each other for... less than a month, right?
Why are you getting married all of a sudden!
This speed of progress is simply more exaggerated than the plots in her romance novels!
"Get married?!"
"Kakashi-sensei, you and Hanare Older Sister have decided so quickly?"
She couldn't help but ask the doubts in her heart.
Kakashi seemed to have expected this kind of reaction from his disciples.
His crooked smiling eyes swept over the expressions of Sakura, Naruto and Sasuke, and then he spoke slowly:
"Well, we've only known each other for a short time. But..."
He paused deliberately, and his eyes fell on Naruto thoughtfully.
"Thanks to someone."
Kakashi continued to say in that leisurely tone, "...Lord Third has approved our marriage application a long time ago. It is only because of some preparations that the wedding is scheduled to be held next month."
"Naruto?"
Sakura and Sasuke looked at Naruto with questioning eyes.
"Before, I helped them collect the "Konohagakure Resident Marriage Application Form" and ran errands to get it stamped by Lord Third."
"Okay, now that I've finished talking about my personal matters, let's talk about your Chunin Ninja Exams matters."
Kakashi briefly explained the matter of Chunin Ninja Exams.
Three people from Team 7 came to the test center of Chunin Ninja Exams, and Ninja Academy from Konoha.
"You are here."
Neji noticed the three of them immediately.
"Yeah, but why are you wasting your time here?"
Naruto nodded, and then looked at the door of Room 301 where the crowd was watching, the Konoha doorkeeper duo using Transformation Technique, and the Tenten and Rock Lee who were acting there.
"It's obvious that someone used the Genjutsu scene of Not-Here Technique here."
"So that's how it is."
After hearing Naruto's words, Rock Lee immediately stood up.
Naruto had no intention of continuing to reveal the identity of the door-god duo. He just shrugged and said to his companions, "Let's go, the real 301 is still upstairs."
As he spoke, he glanced at Kotetsu Hagane and Izumo Kamizuki with a half-smile.
The look in his eyes seemed to say: You continue to act, I will not make trouble, and I will deceive as many as I can.
Kotetsu Hagane and Izumo Kamizuki, who noticed Naruto's movements, looked at each other.
Did this Kid recognize us?
Even if they didn't recognize us, it was amazing to be able to instantly sense something was wrong.
As expected of Genin who was able to follow that guy Kakashi out of the village on a mission after graduating in the first year.
Naruto knows in his heart that these two are Konoha's "keepers", and their strength and sense of responsibility are first-class.
In the original future, facing the invasion of a powerful enemy like Six Paths of Pain, they would defend Konoha Gate.
Guarding a classroom door is like a pinch for them.
This "demonstration" before the first exam is to a certain extent a process of screening their character and observation ability, so just let them continue to perform their duties.
Those who can be screened out by these two people should be screened out.
Several people ignored the farce on the first floor and turned towards the stairs.
While going upstairs, Naruto suddenly turned his head and glanced at Sakura who was walking behind him.
His gaze stayed on her face for a moment, and the look in her eyes was a little complicated, and seemed to contain a little regret.
What a pity.
Naruto sighed secretly in his heart.
Sakura is a very talented person Genjutsu.
She has a delicate mind, precise control of Chakra, and excellent mental strength. She also had the setting of "Li Ying" at the beginning, but it's a pity that Sharingan is too supermodel.
In Shippuden, "Li Ying" was directly deleted, and her talent in Genjutsu was rarely mentioned.
However, in the middle and later stages of the original work, the path taken by Tsunade is not bad.
Because of Sharingan, other Genjutsu can only avoid its edge. Even if Kishimoto said that Uchiha Itachi and Kurenai Yuhi's Genjutsu were equally matched, no one would believe it.
In this Ninja world, the pinnacle of Genjutsu is almost monopolized by Sharingan.
Uchiha Itachi's Tsukuyomi, Shisui Uchiha's Kotoamatsukami, and Uchiha Clan's Dōjutsu Izanami. These three bug-level Dōjutsu Genjutsu can directly kill the competition in the Genjutsu field.
Genjutsu from any other genre will be eclipsed in front of them and difficult to compete with.
Perhaps this is a regret that happened at the wrong time.
Naruto's glance contained recognition and a hint of regret, but he quickly retracted his gaze and continued to climb the stairs.
However, this glance was keenly captured by Sakura.
She was lowering her head and thinking about something when she suddenly felt a line of sight falling on her.
She subconsciously raised her head and saw Naruto turning his head to look at her, and then quickly turned back.
Sakura's heartbeat missed a beat for no apparent reason.
She glanced behind herself subconsciously.
Empty.
In other words, Naruto was looking at himself just now?
Naruto's Shadow Clone disguised himself as Menma and wandered in the sewer of Konoha.
"This kind of miserable life is not as good as the main body coming in person to ask me to participate in Chunin Ninja Exams."
Shadow Clone secretly complained that after he was released, his body would still have the memory of searching the location of Root Base with Mind's Eye of the Kagura in the sewer.
Wouldn't it be equivalent to Naruto Uzumaki suffering twice?
