Konoha: Naruto, trained by Aizen

We strolled along at a leisurely pace, bought breakfast, and even helped an old lady and fed some stray cats.

Like a tourist, he finally arrived at the ninja academy.

We arrived at the classroom door.

Push the door open and enter.

Then I saw three students sitting obediently in the classroom.

One of the cold-looking boys looked at him with a slightly angry gaze.

Another girl with pink hair pretended to be well-behaved, but her fists were already clenched.

As for the last blond boy, he was neatly dressed and had a refined demeanor.

With an elegant and gentle smile on her face, she showed no dissatisfaction at being late.

That warm smile instantly overlapped with that of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

"Teacher," Kakashi murmured softly, his eyes filled with longing.

But he quickly came to his senses and leaned lazily against the door.

My first impression of you is not bad.

Chapter 53 Class 7

We arrived at the rooftop.

"I'm your future mentor. Let's start with self-introductions, beginning with... Naruto." Kakashi looked at Naruto meaningfully.

Looking forward to seeing how Naruto, the son of his master, will introduce himself.

"When asking others to introduce themselves, you should introduce yourself first," Naruto replied.

“That makes sense. My name is Hatake Kakashi. I keep my likes and dislikes secret, and I don’t want to tell you anything else.” Kakashi had a deadpan expression.

"What the hell? What's the difference between this and saying nothing at all?" Sakura rolled her eyes, mentally ranting.

Sasuke glanced at Naruto, his eyes filled with questions.

'So he was Kakashi Hatake.' A look of realization flashed in Naruto's eyes.

This also explains why Kakashi looked at him with such a complicated expression before.

He learned from Minato that Kakashi was his last disciple and an outstanding ninja whose talent was no less than Itachi's.

Unfortunately, he fell into depravity after White Fang's death, and perhaps his talent has been wasted.

Minato had a high opinion of Kakashi and even considered him a ninja who would surpass him, so he trained him to be one.

However, Kakashi's inaction after Minato's death greatly disappointed Minato.

Even so, Minato still held high hopes for Kakashi, even telling Naruto, "If Kakashi is your Jonin instructor, I'll be at ease."

Thinking of this, Naruto said calmly, "Kakashi Hatake, an Anbu ninja, a disciple of the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, a genius ninja who became a Jonin at the young age of 12, and whose name, Copy Ninja, is known throughout all ninja villages. I never thought that such a famous ninja would become our mentor."

Sasuke was shocked after hearing this.

"He was promoted to Jonin at the age of 12, while Itachi was promoted to Chunin at the age of 10! Does that mean his talent surpasses Itachi's? How strong would he be now?"

Sasuke looked intently at Kakashi, who still had a deadpan expression, his eyes calm and unfazed, looking like a useless person standing there.

There was absolutely no trace of the aura of a powerful being.

This raised a question in Sasuke's mind.

Is this guy really a Jonin?

"I never imagined Kakashi-sensei was so amazing!! Please take care of me from now on." Upon hearing Naruto's words, Sakura immediately showed an expression of admiration: "I'm so lucky to be guided by such a powerful ninja."

"You were able to provide relevant information upon hearing my name; that's excellent. That's the quality a ninja should have. I'm quite impressed with you, Naruto. But if you didn't reveal ninja information so casually, I think I would like you even more." Kakashi looked at Naruto, a hint of emotion finally flickering in his eyes, and said in a low voice.

“Sharing information is also a good quality. If the information is wrong, I hope Kakashi-sensei will point it out,” Naruto replied with a smile.

'His own information wasn't exactly a secret among ninjas, so how did Naruto find out?'

'Could it be the Nine-Tails?'

'It seems Naruto and Kurama's relationship has improved somewhat. No wonder he's their teacher's child.'

"You did a great job." Kakashi pulled himself together, praised Naruto, and then turned his gaze to the three of them, gesturing for them to introduce themselves.

"My name is Uchiha Sasuke. I enjoy training with everyone, I hate people who are not punctual, and my dream is to become stronger and find the truth." Sasuke crossed his arms and spoke first, his tone cold and pointed.

'What a stubborn child. I hate trouble.' Kakashi felt a headache coming on and could imagine how troublesome life would be in the future.

"My name is Sakura Haruno. I like... (looks at Naruto), dream of... (looks at Naruto), and hate people who are not punctual."

Upon hearing this, Kakashi's lips twitched slightly beneath his mask.

A quirky kid and a lovesick girl—this team's setup is a bit hopeless.

But if it's the teacher's child, it would probably be a pleasant surprise.

It is said that he was like a warm sun at school.

Perhaps he can help me manage these two troublesome students.

He placed his last hope on Naruto.

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I like many things. As for my dreams, everyone knows them. As for what I dislike... well, I don't think I have any at the moment," Naruto said gently.

'They seem to have said a lot, but in reality they haven't said anything at all. The teacher's child is no pushover either.' Kakashi's heart sank to the bottom.

'This is troublesome; this team seems difficult to manage.'

No wonder the third generation's smile was so meaningful.

The master's wife's fiery temper back then caused chaos throughout the entire ninja academy.

My master has a gentle personality, but he can be a little cunning at times.

Moreover, Naruto was a prankster before he awakened his true nature. Now that his nature has been suppressed, he appears refined, but perhaps he is also a cunning and ruthless person inside.

Kakashi felt his mind was in turmoil, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"By the way, Kakashi-sensei, I heard that stealing the bell is a tradition of the teams over the generations. We should have this exercise too, right? It sounds really interesting," Naruto said, seeing Kakashi lost in thought.

"Hmph, childish drill. I'll easily snatch the bell." Sasuke crossed his arms, looking smug.

"Steal the bell? Does that mean I can fight alongside Naruto?" Sakura laughed inwardly.

"I didn't originally plan to do that, but since you requested it, let's meet at the training ground tomorrow and begin the first mission—grabbing the bell."

"Oh, and don't eat breakfast."

As a Jonin, Kakashi decided to establish his authority first.

After all, using fists is much more effective than using words of advice.

"That's settled then, dismissed." Kakashi didn't waste any more words, and immediately formed hand seals, disappearing from everyone's sight.

"Remember to eat breakfast tomorrow, and you can come to the training ground at noon." After confirming that Kakashi had left, Naruto gave him a bright smile.

"Kakashi Hatake, the infamous king of lateness in Konoha, once said: 'I've lost my way on the path of life. If you have an appointment with him, remember to be at least three hours late.'"

......

After leaving the Ninja Academy, Kakashi was still reminiscing about his previous interactions with Naruto.

She has a sunny smile, just like her teacher, which seems to heal all wounds, and she also possesses great strength.

Kakashi had seen Naruto train before, and judging from his taijutsu alone, he was probably no less than a Chunin.

The mysterious bloodline limit is not to be underestimated.

Even if Naruto and the others didn't say anything, Kakashi would still put out a test to steal the bell.

That was an exercise to understand Naruto's true strength.

As for the accident?

Impossible, I'm a Jonin.

Compared to their rich combat experience and intuition, Naruto's trio was no match.

Chapter 54 Might Guy Squad

"Sasuke, let's do extra training today."

"Sakura, want to come along?"

“Okay!” Sakura accepted Naruto’s invitation without hesitation.

The three walked towards the training ground.

Throughout the journey, Sasuke kept recalling the details.

He carries the heavy responsibility of reviving the Uchiha clan, so he needs to become stronger as soon as possible.

However, he was already 12 years old, not even a Chunin, let alone a Jonin.

Then look at those geniuses.

Itachi became a Chunin at the age of ten, and Kakashi became a Jonin at the age of twelve.

Compared to them, I am far too inadequate.

How can someone like me revive the Uchiha clan?

Sasuke was unwilling to accept this.

Although he has been training regularly and his strength should be enough to compete with Chunin, he is still too weak.

Thinking of this, Sasuke couldn't help but feel a little worried.

A skilled Jonin instructor will undoubtedly influence a ninja's entire life. If Kakashi didn't have any ability, his progress would definitely not be fast.

Although Kakashi is known as a genius ninja, judging from his unreliable appearance, he is obviously very weak.

How can I become stronger and find the truth?

Seeing Sasuke's preoccupied look, Naruto understood his concerns and comforted him, "Don't worry, Kakashi may seem unreliable, but he's a copy ninja who has mastered thousands of ninjutsu. In my opinion, he would be a very suitable Jonin to be your instructor."
