As we all know, in the world of ninjas, except for a few shadow-level powerhouses who can stand at the top of the strength pyramid and can be called a thousand. Slightly inferior to it is a group of upper ninjas.

At the same time, because of their respective talents, as well as the resources and education they can obtain, most people are extremely poor all their lives, and the end point of the powerful class that they can reach is, under normal circumstances, not related to the shadow level. So much so that if you make a rough count and comparison between the number of shadow-level powerhouses and the number of elite ninjas, it is not difficult to find that the latter are obviously more numerous. As a result, the high-end ninja combat power of the upper ninja class is easier to be contacted and understood by ordinary people.

It is precisely because of this that for people like Sakura, who are purely from ordinary families, there are often two diametrically opposed ways of treatment when facing a shadow-level powerhouse and ordinary ninja......

That's ......

The former is prone to overconfidence and impulsiveness because he is not aware of the opponent's strength level. So much so that before suffering the hardships, the incident of taking the initiative to provoke and find fault with the shadow-level powerhouse without fear of death is not so unusual and rare when looking at the entire ninja world.

The latter is because he knows too well in his heart the gap between himself and the other party. As a result, every move is timid, and they dare not do it with all their might. So much so that most of the time, the ordinary middle ninja or lower ninja, when facing the upper ninja with a clear advantage in strength, has not had time to start a war, and has already lost psychologically and steadily......

Not to mention......

After reaching the level of shadow-level strength, in addition to serving as the leader of the five ninja villages, which is known to the world as the five shadows, he needs to worry about the influence of the village, and deliberately maintain his image and personality. Most film-level powerhouses, in their private lives, are uninhibited and casual...... Or, to put it more bluntly, it's like being a shadow-level person, but he is willing to fall into the peeping women's bathhouse, and he completely lets himself go.

In this way, they are often misinterpreted due to their subtle misunderstandings, and some strange pictures are derived from them, which make those in the know laugh and cry......

Let's say, until you see the strength of the other person...... Even if she meets the shadow-level powerhouse herself, for Sakura, who is still unclear about how huge the gap is between the shadow-level and the upper ninja, most of them will be deceived by that appearance illusion. And then there is a big chance that the shadow-level powerhouse who is obviously far better than the upper ninja will be ignored as an ordinary person.

Of course, it is precisely because of this truth that when facing the ultimate goal that most ordinary ninjas strive for all their lives, they are striving for. Because Sakura knows very well in her heart what a huge strength gap there is between the upper ninja and the middle ninja and the lower ninja, she doesn't dare to have the slightest carelessness and contempt!

The simplest example is......

If Sakura is asked, when she meets Jiraiya, who shows a lustful expression from time to time, and looks like a greasy middle-aged uncle from the outside. Even if Sakura is told, Jirai is one of the legendary Konoha Three Ninjas, and he has a real shadow-level power. Most of them will also be misled and confused by their own strangeness to the "shadow-level" class and Jiraiya's extremely deceptive appearance, and subconsciously doubt whether Jiraiya's strength is as powerful as others boast.

But at the time of the briefing, he had already been clearly told that the strength of the ninjas who were qualified to serve as instructors and lead them, a group of fledgling rookies, and carry out various actions, was uniformly stipulated as the upper ninja [In fact, Naruto discussed with the three generations of Hokage in order to prepare for the big event that he first needed to face] and in the process of studying at the ninja school, because Naruto deliberately was in the entrance exam for this year, Through self-written exam questions, a large proportion of students with poor qualifications are brushed off. So that the idle teachers can be used more properly in education. In addition, with the "special instructors" who are drawn from the root organization from time to time, they will arrange centralized special training for students. In the course of these years of study, Sakura has thoroughly understood what level of strength she has to reach in order to obtain the qualification of ninja......

In this case......

Even though Kakashi's behavior and demeanor showed a lazy appearance without motivation, Kakashi's image score was quietly lowered by some while Sakura was quite puzzled. But I clearly know in my heart that the strength of the teacher in front of me, who doesn't seem to be very reliable, is already an elite ninja who has been recognized by the upper ninja qualification! As a result, Sakura in the bottom of her heart, no matter how much she complains, complains, or mutters, she doesn't dare to show it on the surface, and she is too much.

"Huh? The object of the exercise is the teacher......"

In this case, Sakura blinked her eyes and quietly raised her hand, pinching the skin of her forearm lightly. In order to be able to confirm that the explanatory words that just came to my ears were not auditory hallucinations. As a result, the expression of nervousness and uneasiness on Sakura's face was not eased because she learned the general content of the exercise. On the contrary, under this sudden "bad news", he became more and more uneasy. Then he swallowed his saliva slightly, and while driven by the instinct to seek security, he subconsciously turned his head a little, and with the corner of his eye, he glanced at the two Naruto who had been sitting silently in the corner from beginning to end, as if they had not heard the "terrible" news at all. While clenching his teeth, he complained with a little dissatisfaction.

"This kind of thing is a little too much......! At the end of the day, we're just graduating shinobi, and if we want to use shinobi as an opponent, how can we win it......"

"Huh? Quite a wise judgment...... Sure enough, the students of this class who entered the school with Naruto were slightly better than the previous ones. ”

Sakura's very self-aware answer was obviously more satisfying than those previous students who thought they were invincible in the world as soon as they got the shinobi qualification, and no one was convinced......

After all, as a ninja who was born to die, it was good to be able to fight without fear of death......

But if you want to hit a stone with an egg and send you to death in vain, you can only say that you are an idiot who is afraid that you will not die fast enough.

"Don't jump to conclusions so much, I didn't say that the goal of the exercise is that you must defeat the teacher and me, this impossible deliberate difficulty...... No, as long as a few of you can snatch this bell from the teacher's hand within the specified time, which means that the exercise is successful, you will be considered qualified. ”

Because of this, Kakashi, who had changed his outlook a little, restrained his lazy tone a little, and while taking over the conversation on his own, he continued to explain the content of the exercise to the members of the seventh class present. At the same time, he took out the two small bells that he had grabbed and pinched with his hand that had reached into the ninja bag in advance, and brought them out in public. After a short pause, he bent his eyes and smiled, and added word by word.

"Of course, in order to let you little guys, in the course of the exercise, show all your true skills...... In addition to snatching the bell in exchange for the qualification to succeed in the drill, the teacher has a fairly simple additional condition. ”

"Whew...... What, it's great that I didn't want to beat the teacher...... I'll just say, as soon as you come up, you deliberately embarrass us who are enduring......"

After hearing the phrase that snatching the bell from Kakashi's hand, which at first glance sounded quite simple and straightforward, Sakura's worries about the content of this strange exercise finally dissipated completely. And then involuntarily, patted his chest and breathed a long sigh of relief. Because of Kakashi's second half of the sentence, he didn't even think about it, so he blurted out a question in a much more cheerful tone.

"So, what are the additional conditions of the teacher?"

"It's easy to attach strings and conditions...... There are three of you in the team. But the bell in the teacher's hand was only prepared for two. In other words, even with the best outcome, there will definitely be one person who will not be able to complete the exercise.

The repeated ups and downs of life presented by the students, as if they were going from heaven to hell and from hell to heaven, can be regarded as the most enjoyable and playful moment for Kakashi, who hides his dark belly attributes. And at the moment when Sakura's words fell, it was like a plan, and while smiling, she continued lightly.

"And the price of the failure of the drill is that I was deprived of my ninja qualification by the teacher and forcibly sent back to the ninja school...... Because of this, in the course of the exercise, you can use any means, including shuriken and kunai ninja equipment. ”

"Because, if you don't have the determination to kill me, you will never be able to grab this bell!"

However, to Kakashi's surprise......

Just after he confidently said these ridiculous words that were extremely hateful, and cooperated with the failure of the exercise, he would face a terrible price...... Not only the other students in the classroom, but they still didn't speak. Even the female student who had been talking to herself projected an extremely strange gaze at herself at the moment when her voice just fell. Kakashi, who had never looked closely at the students' appearances, couldn't help but wonder if they were too calm and confident, or if they were already scared stupid.

"That, teacher......"

After counting back and forth several times, I confirmed that the number of members of the entire seventh class, including myself, was not missing. So that Sakura's face, not only did not there be the slightest panic. Instead, he was silent thoughtfully for a long time before he tentatively spoke up again and whispered to Kakashi.

"We are in the seventh class, not three people...... It's four people, ......? ”

"Huh? Four people? How is this possible? The number of members of the ninja squad is generally three talents......"

Under this unexpected answer, Kakashi, who was already quite distressed because he couldn't wait for the expected screams, couldn't help but frown slightly. Immediately subconsciously puzzled, adjusted his gaze, and looked at the appearance of all the members of the seventh class for the first time. So much so that under this shift of gaze, it was finally an afterthought, and I found that sitting in an inconspicuous corner, already smiling because of my efforts, the whole little face had turned into two immature and familiar figures with a red appearance.

"Wait a minute, that's ......"

After these two familiar figures came into view, Kakashi's half-spoken words were stuck in his throat. Then the corner of his right eye twitched slightly, and he quietly squinted a little to confirm that he was not mistaken. As a result, Kakashi's lazy and cold image quickly melted and dissipated like ice cubes under the scorching sun. Then he was stunned and involuntarily exclaimed.

"Sasuke and Naruto ......?! Why are you two here?! ”

"Poofha——! Why is it here? That's because, of course, Naruto and I are also members of the seventh class! ”

At the same time, Kakashi, who was looking at no energy, finally found out about the existence of himself and Naruto, and the little fan that made him laugh hard finally covered his stomach with his hands and couldn't help but burst out laughing. After a slight pause, the corners of Fang Cai's mouth rose wildly, revealing a teasing black smile full of excitement. While rubbing his palms, as if eager to try, he continued word by word.

"Hmm, ahem...... By the way, from today onwards, we'll have to call you Kakashi-sensei...... In the future, please give me a lot of advice, hehehe~"

"Besides, Kakashi-sensei just said that you have to be determined to kill the teacher during the drill, right?"

Of course, compared to the acting skills, it is slightly inferior, resulting in a small group of fans who can't hold back their laughter at critical moments. After Naruto reacted to Kakashi, he quickly retracted his strange face from smiling and flushing back to its original state. And then the corners of his mouth rose slightly, skillfully revealing a harmless simple smile, and at the same time, in front of Kakashi's face that the blood on his face quickly faded and became more and more pale, he deliberately used the innocent childish ** voice to take over the words of the small fan, and responded softly and obediently.

"Huh? No, you wait a minute, that sentence means ......"

"Don't worry, I know ......"

Obviously, this year's Kakashi, like previous years, enjoyed the ups and downs of life from heaven to hell and from hell to heaven in the process of this "routine" class guidance......

"Huh?! It's strange to be relieved! Every time you say, 'You know,' you don't have any good intentions...... Ahem, calm down, Naruto, there's something to say, I actually mean ......"

"Well, I've said it, I understand...... Since you have taken the initiative to ask for it, then, if we as students continue to be hypocritical, we will be disappointed by the teacher's kindness......"

“…… For the sake of the teacher's personal safety, please live up to this kind of 'kindness'! ”

"So, during the exercise, Sasuke and I, of course, will obey the teacher's orders and go all out~"

"No, you ......?! Listen to people, Naruto! Don't make decisions out there?! ”

It's just that it's different from the past......

Kakashi could never have imagined that the person who was lucky enough to taste this "refreshing" experience this year was not his own student at all, but he was looking forward to the drama at all!

As the saying goes, the cycle of cause and effect, retribution is unpleasant...... It's not that I don't report it, the time has not yet come~

Kakashi: I thought it was also a master who was beating three bronze this year, but suddenly I found that not only was there one more person on the other side, but there were also two strongest kings with bronze trumpets mixed in......
