On the rooftop in the distance, the figure silently looked down at this scene with a smile on his lips.
"The murderous intention arises out of jealousy, and the logical thinking formed by wanting to make the same kind of people feel the feeling of being alone, like being in a lonely existence."
Commenting in a low voice, lazy footsteps slowly approached, and the smile on his face did not shrink, but became more obvious.
"How's it going? Did Naruto and Sasuke cause you any trouble?"
"Compared with trouble, these two children give me more surprises. It should be said that your help is indispensable. If I let them participate in Chunin Ninja Exams like this, will..."
Kakashi frowned and showed a rare hint of sadness. If the shortcoming of a three-person team lies in the members, then the weakest shortcoming is definitely Sakura.
Naruto itself is Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. He has no shortage of physical strength and endurance. His ability to control chakra is countless times stronger than that of an average jounin.
Sasuke has even opened up Sharingan. After so many years of training, it has grown to the level of two eyes Tomoe. Whether it is Fire Release, Shurikenjutsu, Taijutsu, etc., the growth rate is even more amazing.
Only Sakura is a civilian ninja. He has no family or teacher's guidance behind him, and he is a dispensable member most of the time during missions.
"What's wrong? Only when you realize your own shortcomings can you better understand the reasons why you need to improve."
"Children will one day break away from the protection of their parents and grow up step by step. Compared with the Great Ninja War period, the current environment is many times better, and it will inevitably make people feel slack."
Huayue chuckled twice and looked at Kakashi, who looked thoughtful, with a hint.
"Speaking of which, I recently heard some bad rumors in Amegakure, saying that the village chief of Amegakure, Hanzō the Salamander, was killed to seize power. I don't know if it is true or not."
His whole body was shocked, and Kakashi's face became unbelievable.
"Hanzō the Salamander? The Hanzō the Salamander who gave Orochimaru and others the title Sannin and was called the ninja demigod, how is this possible?"
"Who knows? It's hard to say whether the specific situation is true or false. It's best to be careful. I smell a dangerous atmosphere. Please convey Third Hokage..."
At this time, Kakashi clearly saw a hint of sarcasm at the corner of Uchiha Huayue's mouth.
"The mistakes I made when I was soft-hearted and let go are back now. I hope that when sacrifice is needed, I can risk my life for Konoha."
At this moment, Kakashi didn't know what these words meant, but judging from Huayue's slightly confused expression, it was very likely that this matter would endanger Third Hokage.
"I will convey it truthfully and take my leave."
Kakashi bowed his head and saluted. No matter when he faced her, he could never see through what was hidden behind those eyes.
Half an hour later, Team 7 was at the meeting place of the past.
"Sorry, sorry, I met a black cat on the way and an old friend I haven't seen for a long time, so..."
"Here we go again! Kakashi-sensei's reason for delaying is the same every time. Let's try another one!"
Sakura complained loudly, while Naruto on the side laughed lowly and extended his right hand to Kakashi.
"Kakashi-sensei, don't waste our time anymore. We have to conduct special training for Chunin Ninja Exams later. Please hand over the Chunin Ninja Exams registration form quickly."
Kakashi shook his head helplessly, took out the three registration forms and placed them in front of the three of them.
"Let me state in advance that Chunin Ninja Exams's registration will only be officially entered if three people agree. After all, the ninja team is a team of three, and death may occur during the assessment."
At this point, Sakura was slightly startled, because the eyes of the three people glanced at her one after another, which also made her less and less confident in herself.
"Sakura, especially you, think carefully before telling me your decision. If you don't make half-hearted determination to face death, you may die in the examination room. Think about it before you answer me."
Kakashi's warning slightly changed Haruno Sakura's firm mentality.
"No problem, no one can hurt my teammates. Doesn't Kakashi-sensei believe in my strength?"
Facing Naruto who chuckled, Kakashi shook his head solemnly.
"You are participating in Chunin Ninja Exams. As Chunin, you will one day lead the team independently and become the leader of the team, instead of being a useless ninja who relies on the protection of your teammates. Please think about it carefully."
After that, Kakashi disappeared in front of the three people. The atmosphere on the bridge was calm, Naruto said nothing, and Sasuke said nothing.
"Um, Sasuke-kun, Naruto... I..."
"Don't worry about us, just tell Kakashi-sensei what you think. I'm going to go to special training and take the first step."
When Naruto disappeared and Sasuke was left alone, Sakura was about to muster up the courage to say that he would never hold them back.
All I heard was Sasuke said calmly with a cold tone.
"Whether you participate or not, we will respect your decision. To me, the name Chunin is irrelevant at all. All I want is strength, nothing more."
Before he finished speaking, Sasuke stepped away and left Sakura, who had finally mustered up the courage, in place.
After a long silence, Sakura stepped hard on the ground, full of complaints.
"Really, bastard! One or two of them are like this. It's not easy for girls to muster up courage. Oh, go home..."
At the same time, in Hokage Office Building, in the calligraphy room of Third Hokage.
"'The mistakes I let go with my kindness back then have come back...' So that's it, that's it!"
Wisps of smoke drifted from the pipe in his hand, covering Third Hokage's cloudy old eyes. Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded slightly, and the disciple whom he regarded as the inheritor of the will flashed in his mind.
'Orochimaru, more than ten years later, you still came back with hatred for Konoha and dissatisfaction with me. '
The old waist, which was not straight and straight, became more and more stooped. After signaling Kakashi to leave, he lightly wiped the armor that he had not worn for a long time.
"It seems that you are still the one accompanying me on my last journey, but after I leave, who will give the position of Hokage to?"
At this moment, looking at Telescope Technique, which had not been closed, Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up the crystal ball by mistake, and a tall figure with white hair came into view.
The skinny old hand trembled slightly, and a hint of excitement appeared in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes.
"You are finally back, back to your hometown, my other disciple..."
In the bustling street of Konoha, Naruto, who was thinking about what shortcomings he had yet to make up for, only heard a crisp slap and subconsciously raised his head and looked ahead.
"Wait a minute, little sister, yours is really rough, just let me touch it, and treat it as a sacrifice for art..."
Snap!
"Go away, you lecherous old man, you pervert!"
The fashionably dressed woman left angrily. Naruto in the distance looked curiously, and the white-haired strong man who came into view sighed in a low voice.
"The women in this village still have such a bad temper..."
