The Master of Konoha's Legacy

Around nine o'clock, the teacher who conducted the last assessment walked into the classroom, cleared his throat, and said:

"Congratulations on passing the Ninja Academy's exam and officially becoming a Genin."

Except for special assignments, genin squads are generally composed of three people per squad, with one instructor in charge for each squad.

"Now, when I call your names, please come up to the stage to receive your ninja headbands."

"Member of the first team, Furukawa Nohara."

"Inuzuka Tsuna".

"Hyuga Parkawa."

......

"Members of Class 9"

"Kakashi."

"Uchiha Tunan."

.......

"Alright, I'll leave the rest of the time to your supervising teacher." After saying that, the proctor left the classroom.

Before long, one by one, the teachers leading the teams entered the classroom and took away the genin members of their classes.

"Team 9, come with me." A slightly immature-looking blond youth waved to Kakashi and Uchiha Tonan.

Uchiha Tunan narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded with a smile on his lips.

Then Kakashi and the blond-haired youth went outside.

However, they were fairly certain of the visitor's identity.

With his blond hair and kind face, he must be Minato Namikaze.

Flying Thunder God Technique and Rasengan are both great items.

If possible, we can also bring Kushina Uzumaki along.

It's just that it's a long time away, several more years, and it's too late to solve the immediate problem.

On the rooftop, Minato Namikaze casually sat on the railing, twirling a kunai in his hand, carefully observing the two geniuses who were the talk of the village.

Kakashi was seen leaning lazily against the railing on the other side, his eyes seemingly showing some doubt about Minato Namikaze's strength.

After all, Minato Namikaze looks too young, giving people a sense of unreliability.

Uchiha Tonan, on the other hand, stood obediently upright.

Time passed slowly, and Uchiha Tonan maintained a gentle smile throughout, showing no impatience whatsoever.

"Cuckoo~"

Several white doves landed on Uchiha Tonan's shoulder and affectionately nuzzled his face.

Uchiha Tunan gently patted the white dove's head and whispered, "Good boy, I'm busy with important matters."

"Coo coo~" The white dove seemed to understand and took flight.

Seeing this, Minato Namikaze broke the silence by saying, "These pigeons seem to really like you."

Uchiha Tonan nodded and said, "Yes, they've always been very clingy to me."

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Minato Namikaze. I am a Jonin from Konoha Village and also your team leader."

He loves eating ramen and dreams of becoming the future Hokage.

And you guys?

Minato Namikaze first turned his gaze to Kakashi.

Kakashi replied calmly upon hearing this:

"Kakashi Hatake doesn't have any particular favorites; his dream is to become a powerful ninja."

As he said this, Kakashi involuntarily pictured Sakumo Hatake in his mind, and his fists clenched slightly.

Father, I will become a ninja as powerful as you someday.

“What a wonderful dream, you will definitely achieve it.” Minato Namikaze smiled and then turned his gaze to Tonan Uchiha.

Uchiha Tonan tilted his head and adjusted his glasses, saying:

"My name is Uchiha Tonan. I like drinking tea, reading books, and feeding small animals."

As for dreams...

At this point, Uchiha Tonan revealed a bright and warm smile and said:

"I want to gain more recognition from others."

At this moment, Minato Namikaze seemed to see his own reflection in Tonan Uchiha, and smiled as well, saying, "This dream is very special. I believe that in the future, everyone in Konoha will recognize you."

A glint of longing flashed in Uchiha Tonan's eyes as he said, "If that could really happen, I would be so happy."

Minato Namikaze jumped off the railing and gently patted Tonan Uchiha on the shoulder.

"Alright, that concludes my self-introduction. Let's move on to the next step."

"Come with me."

[Chapter 40. Class Nine Establishment and Bell Test]

Minato Namikaze led the two to Konoha's 12th training ground.

Minato Namikaze coughed lightly, forcing a serious expression, and said:

"Although you have passed the school's exam, you still need to pass an assessment before you can receive a genin mission."

If you fail, you'll have to go back and repeat a year.

This is a tactic often used by Konoha's team leaders: to scare these newly promoted genin beforehand and put some pressure on them.

But it's clear that Minato Namikaze hasn't grasped the essence yet. Mainly, his kind face doesn't inspire fear; instead, it seems like he's just trying to be profound.

"Oh," Kakashi replied indifferently.

Uchiha Tonan said earnestly, "Kakashi and I will do our best to complete the assessment."

Minato Namikaze nodded, took two bells from his waist, waved them in front of the two, and explained:

"I have two bells here. Each bell represents a qualification to become a genin. You must grab them within one hour."

After saying that, she hung the bell back up and then smiled brightly, saying:

"If you're ready, we can begin now."

"Shu~"

Kakashi's figure vanished instantly, disappearing without a trace.

Uchiha Tonan adjusted his glasses, bowed to Namikaze Minato, and said, "Minato-sensei, I apologize."

The next moment, the soil beneath Minato Namikaze's feet exploded, and Kakashi emerged from the ground, reaching out to grab the bell at Minato's waist.

Just as Kakashi touched the bell...

"Boom."

Minato Namikaze's figure disappeared, leaving behind a piece of substitute wood.

On a large tree not far away, Minato Namikaze stood with his arms crossed, a faint smile on his face, and said to Uchiha Tonan, who was still standing in the same spot:

"Tunan, you should come too. Kakashi alone can't get the bell."

"Ding-a-ling~"

As soon as he finished speaking, Minato Namikaze turned around abruptly, only to find that Tonan Uchiha was standing behind him at some point, and the bell at his waist was already in Tonan's hand.

Uchiha Tonan shook the bell in his hand, narrowed his eyes, and smiled:

"Teacher, is the assessment over?"

Minato Namikaze's expression of surprise flashed by, quickly turning into a smile:

"A very good illusion."

The illusion dissipated in the next instant, and Minato Namikaze leaped from the ground onto a large tree, dodging Kakashi's attack.

At this moment, Uchiha Tonan had just put down his hand that was adjusting his glasses.

Everything that just happened was fake; this is just the beginning.

Minato Namikaze stood on the tree and smiled slightly, saying, "Don't worry about hurting me."

"Minato-sensei, watch out!"

Uchiha Tonan gave a brief instruction and quickly formed hand seals.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique".

A massive fireball hurtled toward Minato Namikaze, while at the same time, Tonan Uchiha quickly threw out several kunai.

The kunai collided with each other in mid-air, changing their trajectory.

"Ding ding..."

Minato Namikaze lightly jumped, dodging the Great Fireball and the kunai that followed from it.

"tread."

The moment Minato Namikaze landed, he found that the soil beneath his feet had instantly turned into a swamp, and he involuntarily sank into it.

"Earth Escape Technique, the Swamp of the Underworld."

Not far away, Kakashi, having finished his ninjutsu, saw that Minato Namikaze was trapped. He slowly walked over and said calmly:

"Hand over the bell."

"Boom."

When will the clone technique be available?

Kakashi's eyes narrowed, and he quickly turned around to look.

Minato Namikaze was standing behind him, and he reached out and gently patted him on the shoulder.
