"Kakashi Hatake!"
The person who pushed open the door was none other than Kakashi Hatake, who had played a key role in sealing his mother.
As soon as he entered, Black Zetsu fixed his gaze on the eye that was covered.
This Sharingan with its divine power must not be left alive.
While he couldn't make a move against Obito Uchiha for the time being, he didn't have as many concerns about Kakashi Hatake.
"You three, come with me!" Kakashi Hatake said after entering. He looked Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha up and down before speaking slowly.
He knew in his heart that the main reason he was appointed as the jonin leader was for the sake of Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha.
Sakura Haruno was just an extra, not important at all.
However, since these three people were going to be in the same class, their teamwork skills would need to be tested.
If they didn't know how to cherish their companions, they would refuse even the orders of the Third Hokage.
A person who didn't cherish their companions was worse than trash!
After getting to know Kakashi and confirming the survival exercise for tomorrow, the three of them returned home.
As they left, inside the Ninja Academy, a man watched them menacingly. This man was none other than Mizuki, who was supposed to incite Naruto Uzumaki to steal the Scroll of Seals.
However, due to Black Zetsu's intrusion and Naruto Uzumaki's reputation as the "Little Tyrant of Konoha," he had no way to make a move, which was why he had not taken any action for so long.
...
The next day.
Uchiha Sasuke and his two companions met up early, but it wasn't until noon that Hatake Kakashi finally arrived.
After a few complaints, the group followed Kakashi to the survival training ground.
"Next, you will have to take these two bells from my hands," Kakashi Hatake said as he took out two bells and addressed the three of them. "The person who didn't manage to grab the bell will have to return to the Ninja Academy to continue their training."
As he spoke, Black Zetsu was instigating Sasuke Uchiha to find an opportunity to destroy Kakashi Hatake's Sharingan.
"Sasuke, do you see the eye he's covering?" Black Fugaku said solemnly. "That's the Sharingan of my Uchiha clan."
"When you're fighting for the bell later, you must find a chance to destroy the Sharingan."
"These are evil eyes, ominous eyes. If they are not destroyed, Kakashi Hatake will eventually lose his true nature to power. Therefore, you must save him!"
Sasuke Uchiha wholeheartedly agreed with Black Zetsu's explanation.
Because, in his mind, his father was worried that the Uchiha clan would become obsessed with the power of the Sharingan and go astray, bringing disaster to the village and the ninja world, which was why his brother had destroyed the clan.
Therefore, a selfless father would never have any bad intentions.
He simply wanted to save Kakashi Hatake, who was obsessed with the power of the Sharingan.
"Father, rest assured, I will protect the name of Uchiha," Uchiha Sasuke said with a determined look. "I will never allow the Sharingan, such a sinful eye, to circulate in the ninja world."
"As expected of my son," Black Fugaku's proud voice echoed in Uchiha Sasuke's mind. "Go! Your father is with you. Do not disgrace the Uchiha name."
"We are by no means useless people who only rely on the Sharingan. Even without the Sharingan, the Uchiha are still invincible in the ninja world!"
Sasuke Uchiha nodded almost imperceptibly, while glancing at Naruto Uzumaki out of the corner of his eye.
"Naruto, how about we snatch the bells first, and then discuss how to distribute them?" Sasuke Uchiha suggested when he saw Naruto Uzumaki hesitating.
"Alright, we'll do it your way," Naruto nodded deeply. "Sakura, you go to the back. Kakashi-sensei, leave it to Sasuke and me!"
Given Sakura Haruno's limited abilities, Naruto Uzumaki didn't expect her to be of much help; he just hoped she wouldn't cause any trouble.
Kakashi Hatake saw the two approaching him, and Sakura Haruno stepped back, nodding inwardly.
He had long heard of Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha's reputation as geniuses, and it was rare that they possessed such talent yet remained humble.
Furthermore, it was important to keep useless people at the back and prevent them from causing trouble.
This was, in a way, a form of teamwork.
After all, if that girl was going to learn medical ninjutsu in the future, she should stay in the back obediently.
"Let me warn you first, if you don't have the intention to kill me, you have no chance of getting the bell," Kakashi Hatake said coldly.
"Kakashi-sensei, if I were to kill you, I might have to rely on that power. Are you sure?" Naruto blinked, and what he said made Kakashi's eyelids twitch wildly.
That power... the power of the Nine-Tails?
"Ahem, what the teacher meant was that, relying on your own strength, you should have the mindset of killing me," Kakashi Hatake clarified.
No matter how confident Kakashi Hatake was, he wouldn't dare to fight Naruto Uzumaki in his Tailed Beast Cloak form.
"Got it, so you're going to do whatever it takes to snatch the bell from you, right?" Sasuke Uchiha said as he narrowed his eyes slightly. "Even if I hurt you, you probably wouldn't mind, right?"
Originally, he was thinking about what would happen if he destroyed Kakashi's Sharingan and Kakashi held a grudge against him.
Now that he had said that, Sasuke Uchiha could rest assured.
"If you have the ability to hurt me," Kakashi Hatake chuckled to himself. These two were indeed geniuses, but wasn't he just as talented?
At their age, they would already be able to create their own S-rank ninjutsu and apply it in actual combat.
"Then we won't stand on ceremony," Naruto said as he formed hand seals. "Fūton: Shinkūgyoku!"
At that moment, Naruto's chakra erupted from his mouth like a barrage of bullets.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
"Doton: Doryūheki!"
Seeing that Naruto Uzumaki started with a Wind Release ninjutsu, Kakashi Hatake didn't dare to be careless. He pressed his hands on the ground, and a wall of earth carved with a dog's head instantly rose up, blocking all of Naruto's attacks.
"Is this the Wind Release ninjutsu personally taught by Danzō?" Kakashi Hatake thought to himself after blocking Naruto's attack. "It is indeed not to be underestimated."
"Katon: Hōsenka no Jutsu!"
Seeing Kakashi hiding behind the Earth Wall, Sasuke Uchiha immediately spat out a ball of flame from his mouth.
As soon as the flames appeared, they scattered in all directions, bypassing the earthen wall in front of them, and bombarded Kakashi like a series of crimson missiles.
Whoosh whoosh!
Boom!
With a whooshing sound and a deafening roar, Kakashi Hatake was directly struck by the flames.
The expected screams did not occur; instead, he turned into a puff of white smoke.
"Your control over ninjutsu is indeed commendable, but your observation skills are still lacking. You haven't awakened your Sharingan yet, have you?" Kakashi Hatake's voice came from underground at the same time, and his arm burst out of the ground, grabbing Sasuke Uchiha's ankle.
