3rd person POV
Training Ground 3
Morning, 7:00 am
Team Kakashi has gathered the next day after the boring introduction yesterday.
However, the team captain was late much like yesterday when all of the Jonin sensei already came and took their new students, theirs however came at a much later time.
.

3 hours later
Kakashi showed up and prepared his excuse why he was late.
But he was surprised to see that he was not asked why he was late. And they simply waited for him what to say.
They don't even have the blaming attitude or complaining attitude he expected.
Kakashi didn't know what to say for a few moments and gathered himself by simply proceeded and stated the rules of the test he mentioned yesterday.
Once he was done explaining the bell test which he also did to Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura in Canon. He immediately said something he noticed.
"So, why did you guys have breakfast when I specifically told you not to eat yesterday?"
Osamu wanted to answer but Shintaro beat him to it.
"It wasn't really a command but a suggestion, plus only an idiot would go into a test without eating first."
"And by your late arrival, I think it was right that we did since we will have energy to take your Genin test." Shoto added then Kakashi looked at Osamu who had his mouth open but no words came out.
'Fuck you guys!' was Osamu's inner thoughts.
"I uh, had uh, a little sister who insisted I eat first before leaving the house?" Osamu pointed out to which the trio had an envious look.
"What? You guys don't have a sister?" Osamu asked innocently.

A few moments later
Kakashi was now alone in the field sitting on one of the 3 logs while reading a book while his eyes looked amused on the book.
Meanwhile his three new soon-to-be students were hiding together and discussing their plan.
Nara Shintaro spoke first.
"So, we will go as planned yesterday." Osamu and Shoto nodded.
Flash back
Konoha Academy Rooftop
Team Kakashi gathered to introduce themselves.
Kakashi introduced his trademark introduction which simply tells them only his name.
He was then followed by the Nara kid wearing fishnet shirt that was covered by a grey jacket that had the Nara Clan symbol on both forearms of the jacket.
"Its a bother but, I am Nara Shintaro. I like resting all day and I dislike noise and crowd, my dream would be to become free so that I can rest for a lot of time." Not one of them were surprised at his introduction.
'He's a Nara alright.' Kakashi thought.
"Then I am next. I am Aburame Shoto. I like my insects and I dislike people who are grossed out of them. My dream is to become strong so I can take care of more types of insects." Said the 2nd kid wearing an oversized black jacket covering his entirety but his head. He's also wearing black shades that covers his eyes entirely.
'Spoken like a true Aburame' Kakashi then turned his attention to Osamu, the only civilian who passed the graduation.
Not recognized as a genius in practical combat or even ninjutsu but acknowedged to be smart enough in theoretical knowledge by getting the highest mark in the written test.
"I am Yago Osamu. I like my family, music and peace. I dislike politics, hypocrites, arguments and war. And my dream, for now my dream is to become strong enough to protect what is precious to me." Kakashi seemed interested and asked.
"And what is it that is precious to you?"
"My family, of course. They are the reason why I am a shinobi despite my family root having no ninja bloodline. I am the first in my family to become a Shinobi. I am the pride of the Yago Family." Osamu smiled brightly and stood proud.
Kakashi's lips curled a bit but was not obvious because of his mask.
Then he explained the real Genin Test and that they are not yet True Genin. Where to gather what time and what not to do, like eating breakfast.
Once Kakashi was gone using shunshin, Nara Shintaro spoke.
"Guys, I think we should plan on how we are going to face him tomorrow. By the sound of it, it seems like we are going to have some sort of combat test."
"I agree. Let's first show our cards so we can better plan what are the steps to do." Osamu suggested.
"I use insects which I nurture inside my body. For now I use 3 types: Kikaichu as my main insects for observation, combat and ninjutsu. Kochu for poison and assasination. And Shokaichu for investigation. I know a bit of taijutsu but my main weapon are my insects." Shintaro nodded as he turned to Osamu.
"I am a medical ninja but I know the 3 basic ninjutsu. I am average in Taijutsu and you guys know that. I know how to setup traps, a bit of genjutsu and a bit of sealing arts which I am currently, a self-proclaimed novice Sealing arts practitioner!" Shintaro was in deep thought as soon as he heard that and later explained his abilities.
"I also know the 3 basic ninjutsu and I think we all do as it is the requirement for graduating. My ability is to control my shadow. Once I have the enemy touched by my shadow, it will render them unable to move. However, the more I use this ability, the more it becomes easier to break out of."
"So, what's the plan then? I vote you to be the leader of the group." Osamu said
"I support that statement." Shoto immdiately added.
"Sigh, bothersome." Shintaro complained.
"Then, the plan is-"

Training Ground 3
Kakashi closed the book.
It was now 11 am.
1 hour left before the time is up for the test he setup.
Kakashi lost it all.
His father.
His teammates.
His sensei and his sensei's wife.
The only ones left, his good friend Gai. Former classmates. His home. And his sensei's legacy whom he looks after from a distance due to the Sandaime's command to not approach Naruto.
Even Jiraiya was not spared although he was the master of Yondaime Hokage and the god-father of Naruto.
All of this thoughts flashed in a second Kakashi breathed out in exasperation.
The third insist for him to become a team captain of a team ever since he was relieved of his duties from the Anbu.
It has been a while and Kakashi has been failing teams one after another as he couldn't see what he was looking for.
Teamwork.
Something even he and Obito only truly learned in Obito's last moments.
Now, the new team in front of him composed of members form the Nara and Aburame clan and a civilian, all of whom seem to show what his looking for.
However, their time is running out.
Its not like he will go and search for them, he can simply wait for the time to run out and he won't have to be bothered taking care of fresh graduate genins.
Was his thoughts earlier when he closed the book.
But now, he was vigilant as he sensed them coming for him.
The leaves rustled and the air blew...
Osamu makes his entrance accompanied by insects!
Kakashi remained emphasive and waited what Osamu will do.
Osamu throws 6 shurikens which Kakashi easily dodged.
Then Osamu throws a Kunai to where Kakashi will land. It was timed perfectly making Kakashi no choice but to do something other than dodging.
Kakashi immediately turned serious against Osamu, but didn't open his mask to use Sharingan. He's facing fresh graduates only after all.
'The kid knows what he's doing, but its not enough.' he thought as he simply threw his own kunai as both kunain clashed.
Then he heard the sound of a detonating expoding bomb.
Surprised he saw the explosive tag attached to the kunai Osamu thrown which he clearly didn't see earlier. How?
Then he realized it. Genjutsu!
However it was too late.
Boom!
A loud explosion was heard.
Smoke filled the space where the 3 logs were standing then a block of wood was thrown out.
Osamu felt the change in the air and smiled.
Kakashi was behind him and was about to chop the back of his head. Probably to make him unconscious.
Weaving hand signs faster than normal fresh graduates, Osamu activated a jutsu.
'Thats one' Kakashi counted but was surprised as Osamu was replaced by a block of wood.
"Not bad." Kakashi praised as he sensed something coming.
True to his veteran sense, shadows came towards him like tangible object being manipulated to catch him.
But Kakashi easily dodged and evaded the attempt. Then he felt a chakra fluctuation in the distance and saw it was Osamu.
Osamu didn't say anything and simply weaved hand seals in manner not familiar to Kakashi.
'What Ninjutsu will he cast? He's a civillian with a focused course in medical ninjutsu and a whim in sealing then switched to genjutsu. So what is he trying to do?' Kakashi analyzed while dodging Shintaro's shadows.
The details of his students was of course given to him by the academy when the Hokage assigned them to him.
"Damn it, don't underestimate the Nara clan!" Shintaro pressed harder while Osamu finished his seals and threw 5 shurikens at Kakashi.
"Shuriken, Kage bunshin!" Kakashi's single eye was surprised.
'how does he know that jutsu? He's just a civilian!' then he saw the shurikens coming towards him multiply, yet as soon as he saw it felt that something's wrong with it.
Once again he realized it!
"Genjutsu, Kai"
As soon as he did that the multiple shuriken were reduced to their original numbers.
He easily dodged it along with Shintaro's pursuit. Then something felt wrong once again.
'where is shoto?' he became vigilant again but Shintaro already stopped using his shadows.
"Are giving up already?" Kakashia asked.
But no one answered.
Shintaro looked at Osamu and sighed.
"He's all yours. Enjoy." Osamu smirked and nodded.
Kakashi was puzzled as he saw Osamu getting ready to fight him, probably one on one.
'what just happened?' He questioned himself.
