Friday afternoon practice session.

After leading the students downstairs, Teacher Shanye headed straight for the school gate.

The students looked at each other, wondering what the teacher was going to do.

Shanye turned around after arriving at the school gate.

"I specifically requested the principal that this practice session not be held on school grounds, but elsewhere..."

He deliberately drew all the students' attention before saying:

"We're at the Chunin Exams venue!"

Kakashi Hatake, who graduated early from our class, is currently taking the Chunin Exams. I managed to get some spectator seats, so I'll take you to watch Kakashi's final Chunin Exam match!

"Wow!"

"Oh! That's great!"

"Long live the teacher! Teacher Yamano, you're amazing!"

Students are happy to go anywhere once they leave school.

Yamano looked at the kids with a smug expression. He said, "Quiet! Don't run around after leaving school, or I'll kick you out of the venue!"

Inside the Chunin Exams venue, the students excitedly watched the competition area, each imagining that when they participated in the Chunin Exams, they would also be the center of attention.

Under the eaves of the platform sat the Third Hokage, Konoha's high-ranking officials, the heads of various clans, and representatives of the nobles from the Land of Fire.

During the war, the daimyo didn't run around, otherwise the fire country daimyo would definitely have come to the Chunin Exams every year.

Kakashi Hatake entered the arena at the age of six and defeated several adult ninjas, including some fierce ninjas from other villages.

The students in the class cheered incessantly, and the children gathered together, chattering noisily.

The two Konoha ninjas standing nearby recognized these students as Kakashi Hatake's former classmates.

"It's really bad luck to cheer for someone like Kakashi Hatake."

"I heard that you went on a mission with Kakashi Hatake once and almost got killed by him."

"Yeah, that brat Kakashi Hatake is too ruthless. He doesn't care about his teammates' lives at all; all he cares about is the mission."

"This kind of person is really annoying. He only cares about accumulating mission experience for himself, and his teammates are just unlucky to follow him."

"If he's not afraid of death, then let him die. Who wants to die with him?"

The two of them spoke loudly on purpose, and many students heard them.

Rin Nohara stood up anxiously and said, "Kakashi isn't that kind of person! Kakashi was just in a hurry for the mission; it's understandable that he acted this way!"

Uchiha Ryo sat behind Nohara Rin, pressing her down.

Teacher Yamano also said, "Maintain order and avoid chaos!"

Upon seeing the teacher from the ninja academy, the two ninjas immediately fell silent.

Seeing the deep worry on Rin Nohara's face, and then seeing her become so engrossed in watching Kakashi's fight that she turned into a shy fangirl, Obito felt very sad.

Why can't he be a genius of Konoha?

If he becomes a genius or even Hokage, Rin will definitely like him, right?

Uchiha Ryo watched the match carefully. Kakashi was now mainly using Earth Release. Earth Release ninjutsu was relatively simple, consumed little energy, and had no terrain restrictions.

Kakashi's signature Lightning Release ninjutsu, which he is famous for, has not yet been revealed.

After an afternoon of continuous battles, Kakashi emerged victorious, earning the title of Chunin with the highest score.

The Third Hokage personally presented Kakashi with a Chunin vest and kindly draped it over Kakashi's shoulders.

Kakashi's face remained expressionless, devoid of any smile.

Most people don't think Kakashi was disrespectful to the Third Hokage, after all, Kakashi's father died and Kakashi hadn't yet emerged from the shadow of his father's death.

The grief of losing one's father in childhood and one's son in old age is too heavy.

After receiving his award, Kakashi saw his students from his Ninja Academy class.

Rin blushed, Obito was unconvinced, and Might Guy was excited. Might Guy changed his clothes, wearing a tight top and shorts, but he still didn't feel comfortable.

And then there's Uchiha Ryo, staring coldly at him.

When Kakashi walked out of the venue wearing his vest, he saw his entire class waiting for him.

The other classmates gathered around to congratulate Kakashi, but Uchiha Ryo stood next to Teacher Yamano and didn't join in the fun.

Kakashi remained silent, nodded to everyone, and continued walking away.

The others exchanged bewildered glances, wondering why Kakashi was reacting so strangely.

Upon arriving before Kakashi, he said, "Thank you for bringing my classmates to watch my Chunin Exams, teacher."

Shan Ye paused for a moment, then nodded.

Kakashi continued walking, and when he passed Uchiha Rin, Uchiha Rin couldn't help but say:

"Three parts desolation, three parts mystery, three parts loneliness, and one part high-class style."

If we were to count the prestige of our graduating class as a unit of volume, Kakashi, you've captured eight units, while the rest of the class share the remaining two.

Kakashi, I'd like to call you "Kakashi the Most Stylish".

Look at Nohara Rin, she's completely smitten with you.

Upon hearing what Uchiha Rin said, Kakashi slowly turned his head and stared at Uchiha Rin.

"Uchiha Ryo, I challenge you."

"I couldn't have gotten it."

Yamano watched Kakashi leave without saying a word, perhaps thinking of his sister who had sacrificed herself.

"Uchiha Ryo, what are your chances of winning against Kakashi?"

Uchiha Ryo really wanted to draw the reward after Kakashi broke through his defenses, and said:

"Teacher, it doesn't matter whether we win or lose, I just want to see Kakashi break down."

"Heh, that's more like you."

When the other students heard that Kakashi had challenged Uchiha Rin to a duel, they were all incredibly excited.

Might Guy strode over: "Ling! You must let me know in advance when you spar with Kakashi, I really want to watch!"

"Matt Kai, you talk as if you can see our movements clearly."

Matt Kai looked like he'd swallowed a fly; his face turned bright red.

Sarutobi Asuma said, "This is a big deal. Maybe Kakashi isn't Konoha's number one genius."

"Sarutobi Asuma, what does it matter to you whether Kakashi is the number one genius or not? Even if Konoha's geniuses die twelve times over, it won't be your turn."

"you!"

Sarutobi Asuma was about to step forward and make a move when he was stopped by Nara Saku and the others.

It would be too ugly to fight here, there are too many people around.

Uchiha Ryo: "Heh, the truth is the best weapon. Sarutobi Asuma, do you also believe that what I said is the truth?"

Sarutobi Asuma was even angrier, but Nara Saku and Akimichi Takashi held his arms tightly.

Teacher Yamano smiled, and Uchiha Ryo suddenly became very excited. It seems that Uchiha Ryo takes the battle with Kakashi very seriously.

Kakashi arrived at the entrance of the clan's territory in the evening, followed by Might Guy.

Uchiha Rin glanced at Might Guy and said:

"Kakashi, you're so cool. I don't want anyone else to see our duel."

"You wait for me at home. I'll come see you at a random time. Don't let Matt Kai be waiting for you."

He stepped forward and whispered in Kakashi's ear, "There are some secrets about your father that you don't want others to know, right?"

Upon hearing this, Kakashi frowned, turned around, and left.

He said to Might Guy, "Guy, don't follow me, don't lie in wait for me. I have a reason to challenge Uchiha Ryo."

Might Guy was very worried about Kakashi's mental state; Kakashi's eyes were bloodshot. But seeing Kakashi's resolute attitude, he had no choice but to agree.

Might Guy knew better than anyone the power of Uchiha Rin's sharp tongue; countless students in the class had been mocked by Uchiha Rin until their faces turned red.

Ever since the death of Konoha's White Fang, Kakashi's mental state has been problematic, and he's really afraid that Uchiha Rin might provoke Kakashi into something serious.

Sigh, why are all the people around me so extreme? He wasn't defeated even by the little acorn's distress.
