Chapter 23 Sharing weal and woe

Chapter 23 Sharing weal and woe
"It seems we only know his name," Sakura Haruno muttered to herself.

Naruto nodded in agreement.

Kakashi-sensei truly lives up to his title of Jonin.

After introducing himself, he revealed no information other than his name.

In my previous life, I probably wouldn't have had my personal information leaked even if I registered with countless apps.

Maximum confidentiality.

Our Eastern Depot needs talent like you!
If we could bring him back, we could reduce the national fraud rate by at least five percent.

"It's your turn next, who wants to go first?" Kakashi threw the question to the three people opposite him.

"I'll go first."

Naruto raised his hand to signal, since he was on the far right.

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I'm a man who will become Hokage. I like what I like and I hate what I hate."

Naruto fully embodies the philosophy of "nonsense literature," saying, "As for my hobbies, I love drawing on the Hokage Rock the most. That's all."

Kakashi narrowed his eyes slightly.

This kid, I feel like I'm kind of annoying.

This is nothing like you, Minato-sensei.

But he could only nod helplessly, after all, he had set a bad example.

"Okay, next one."

"My name is Sakura Haruno."

Sakura blushed and said shyly, "To talk about things I like, I'd say people I like... My interests are... My dreams are... Ah!!!"

I don't know what kind of lewd thoughts came to her mind, but she suddenly cried out in embarrassment, then buried her head deep in her arms, too ashamed to face anyone.

During this time, she would glance at Sasuke ten times for every sentence she spoke, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Naruto and Kakashi both looked at the person in question.

Sasuke: It's irrelevant.

Looking away, Naruto realized that Sakura Haruno's behavior just now had given him a headache.

Oh.

In that instant, Naruto suddenly realized...

It turns out he's past the age of being shy.

A girl obsessed with love? Kakashi turned his gaze to Sasuke, "The last one."

"My name is Uchiha Sasuke."

Sasuke, who was last, introduced himself: "I don't have anything I like, but I hate a lot of things. My dream, or rather my ambition, is to revive the Uchiha clan, and I must personally kill a certain man."

That man? Is it Itachi?

Naruto suddenly remembered the culprit who massacred the Uchiha clan.

I wonder which is stronger, the Uchiha who fought seven people at once or me, the Uzumaki, who fought seven people at once?
“Very good, all three of you are very individualistic and very interesting.”

One is individualistic, one is pursuing love, and one is seeking revenge. The composition of this team gave Kakashi a glimpse of what the future would hold, and he had a bit of a headache.

I was originally planning to scare them a little with my cunning, but now I've lost even that desire.

Kakashi then said directly, "Let's start the mission tomorrow. The first mission is a survival drill."

"This year, the Ninja Academy will graduate 30 students, but only 9 of them will be able to officially become Genin. All the rest will be sent back to the academy."

This is the difficulty level of your test tomorrow. Get ready. Tomorrow morning, at 5:00 AM, in the third training field.

"Now, disband!"

Kakashi stretched his body, preparing to leave.

"Oh, and remember not to eat breakfast, I'm afraid you'll throw up," Kakashi suddenly added before leaving.

After saying that, he vanished in a flash.

As expected of a Jonin, his movements are much faster than those of the Chunin teachers.

And this sharp and dashing handsomeness—is this the confidence that comes with strength?
So handsome!

Someone this handsome must have a girlfriend, right?
Naruto returned to Kakashi's parting 'last words' and repeated them again.

'Are there only 9 spots available?'

He wasn't worried at all about graduating.

If he can't graduate, then no one in this school can graduate.

However, this number is 9 people?

Is it a coincidence?

Reflecting on the moment, Naruto looked at his future teammates. Sasuke was still the same, frowning and lost in thought. As for Sakura Haruno, well, let's just call her Sakura for now.

As for Sakura, her hands were trembling, perhaps sensing that she was in a precarious situation. If she couldn't graduate, her beloved Sasuke might have to leave her.

Seeing this, Naruto started the conversation: "Did you guys notice?"

"Hmm?" Sasuke raised an eyebrow and looked over, while Sakura also looked up in surprise.

Both of them stared at Naruto.

Naruto regained his intelligence, which he hadn't really used for the past 12 years, and began to explain his analysis and findings: "Only 9 people can pass, exactly three teams. This can't be a coincidence, can it?"

"You mean tomorrow is a team project?"

"Not necessarily." Naruto shook his head in denial of Sakura's guess.

"What I mean is, if we're eliminated, the whole team might be eliminated together."

"Are you kidding me?"

Sakura couldn't believe Naruto's guess; how could there be such a rule?

"Perhaps because unity is strength! This strength is iron, this strength is..."

Seeing the increasingly puzzled expressions on their faces, Naruto stopped singing, feeling rather bored.

It would be great if a time traveler could come up with a funny story at this moment.

And maybe we can check the code words again.

What does "odd changes, even remains the same" mean? (eBay bar eBay)

Seeing that the two still didn't understand what he meant, Naruto added, "Haven't you heard of the Legendary Sannin?"

"what do you want to say?"

Sasuke seemed a little impatient and reminded Naruto to get straight to the point.

"The three legendary Sannin were led by the current Hokage. They have been in the same team since they were children."

Upon hearing this, Sasuke immediately understood, but Sakura had not yet figured out the connection.

She asked, "What do you mean, Naruto? What does this have to do with the present?"

Can't you even guess that?

Naruto frowned. If Sakura had devoted even a fraction of her attention to Sasuke, she wouldn't have been so surprised.

Although he hadn't guessed this before the class assignments were announced today, he immediately guessed it as soon as the three-person team was formed.

A three-person team plus a ninja leader – this is probably the training and succession model for Konoha, and even the entire ninja world.

This team configuration will continue until the assessment fails or until all three members are eliminated.

This means that before their deaths, Naruto and the other two were bound together.

"It means we share both honor and disgrace, at least until we fail the test," Sasuke finally explained.

"Sasuke is so smart," Naruto praised without reservation.

Shared glory and shame? Me and Sasuke?
'I do! '

Sakura blushed again, and in that instant, she even thought of a name for her child.

"Hey! Snap out of it!"

Naruto interrupted Sakura's rosy daydreams, "Although we don't know what tomorrow's test will be, it's always good to stick together. Believe me, the first test for any team is unity."

Sakura looked at Naruto, who was talking eloquently, with disbelief. Was this still the same loser she knew?
Sasuke thought, "You're making a fuss over nothing. Even though Naruto's grades are terrible, in my mind, Naruto is still very reliable in other aspects."

"So we need to make some preparations in order to get through tomorrow."

"For example?" Sasuke wanted to hear Naruto's analysis.

"For example, messages."

Intelligence gathering for ninjas has always been a priority.

At this point, Naruto stared at Sakura and instructed her, "Go back and find out more about Kakashi-sensei."

"what about you?"

"Let's conserve our energy and prepare to perform tomorrow."

"you?"

Sakura's tone was filled with utter distrust.

Doubts my abilities?
Naruto didn't even bother to look at her. "Let's call it a day and deal with things as they come tomorrow."

Does anyone know what the specific tasks are for tomorrow?
"Disperse."

Naruto imitated Kakashi's cool moves and then vanished in a flash.
