Having witnessed the world's truly top-tier power, Sasuke's mindset has undergone a fundamental change.

The Sasuke who once dared to charge straight at Itachi Uchiha with a single flick of his Chidori has matured considerably due to the secret he has kept hidden in his heart for four years.

This might also be influenced by the initial exchange.

It's impossible to do.

Sasuke stood on a tree branch looking down, while Kakashi, holding a book in one hand, kicked all of Naruto's shadow clones to pieces with just a glance.

Even with just one free hand, one could easily restrain the rampaging Naruto.

This is a comparison of experience gaps.

In a life-or-death struggle, a well-timed but unprepared Amaterasu attack might have severely injured him, but this is just a graduation test.

Therefore... there is absolutely no chance of winning!

There's no way we can steal those two bells.

Wait, two...

Although I don't know much, I've heard from Izumi-neechan that the Chunin Exams, which are held twice a year, are always conducted in teams of three Genin.

In other words, either all of them are eliminated, or all of them pass...

The real test will never be about stealing bells. Without considering their own special circumstances, it's absolutely impossible for three genin to take something from a jonin.

and so……

At that moment, Sasuke remembered what Izumi Uchiha had said.

That was the only time they were careful and cautious during their conversation, because from that night onwards, both he and Izumi were being monitored.

"Sasuke, you must remember this..."

"Because of that person, no one will take action against us for the time being, including that so-called Root."

"But this feeling of fear fades with time. That person hasn't appeared for a long time, not even in the entire ninja world..."

"Having experienced such a huge change, you should understand what I'm talking about."

"Disguise yourself well... Wherever leaves dance, fire will burn. The fire's shadow will illuminate the village and cause new leaves to sprout..."

"Do you understand? Only by becoming a new leaf can we cater to their hearts, and only in this way can the Uchiha clan continue to exist."

……

It wasn't just me who underwent a major change; that bastard's actions weren't much better than what Izumi did.

Coming to his senses, Kakashi, who had already dealt with Naruto below, was now looking towards this spot.

The difference in experience is there; there's no reason why an elite Jonin wouldn't be able to spot a recent graduate.

So... is the assessment based on teamwork?

That's really like the style of the third generation...

"Shhhhh!"

Three shuriken shot out, followed by the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.

After a series of attacks, Sasuke was finally pinned to the back of the head with one hand.

But this is not unexpected; in fact, it was intentional.

It's impossible to grab the bell; by the time the team realizes it, it's already too late, but there will always be another chance.

Because Class 7 is just a newly formed group, and this is only a graduation assessment.

Soon, Sasuke's conjecture was confirmed.

As a result, all three students from Class 7 passed the test.

……

In the afternoon, the three left the training ground and walked home.

Sasuke ignored the stares from the shadows, his face still bearing the joy of having passed the test.

Live on... Only by living on can there be hope for revenge.

Itachi Uchiha, Danzo of Root, and Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage—Itachi Uchiha is a sword, while the other two represent the light and darkness of Konoha.

Konoha didn't want the Uchiha clan to continue existing, which is why the sword Uchiha Itachi was created.

If it weren't for that person, Izumi and her family might have been wiped out as well.

Sasuke, who had a calm expression, had his hands clenched tightly in his sleeves.

They live for revenge, but under such surveillance, they can't do anything!

Why did Kakashi become the Jonin instructor of Team 7?

The Third Hokage must still be terrified of that person, the one who killed Danzo like a dog... Uchiha Un.

He wanted Kakashi to monitor him, to keep an eye on whether the person beside him would reappear.

Since that night, the Uchiha clan's security force has been rendered ineffective, and Izumi has been left idle at home.

But recently... it has been unusually starting to command it to perform tasks.

As time goes by, the fear is fading.

In Izumi's hands lies what they want... the Sharingan.

Sasuke stopped and looked at the four Shadow Rocks in the distance, a gesture he often made.

Determination, hope, longing...

"Sasuke! I will definitely become Hokage! I won't give it to you!"

Naruto, with his blond hair, clenched his fist firmly.

Sasuke laughed and replied, "Then let's have a contest. A loser can't become Hokage. A Hokage must have the strength to protect the entire village, so you can't beat me."

"What did you say?! Arrogant Sasuke! Want to have a match? Don't think I'll go easy on you just because you gave me a bento box!"

Naruto jumped up and down: "Let me tell you, I'm really strong now! Even... even..."

He stammered, and the expectation in Sasuke's eyes vanished in an instant.

Multiple Shadow Clone Technique—Izumi-neechan says it's a forbidden technique…

The reason for this can be easily deduced from the use of shadow clones: chakra and the willpower to withstand it are both indispensable.

What happened to him that enabled him to reach this level? It's a pity he must have been told something, otherwise it might provide some insight.

"Sasuke-kun... um... can I invite you to get something to eat?"

Sakura's voice rang out: "After all, Sasuke-kun probably didn't eat enough from those two bento boxes, right?"

Sasuke thought for a moment and replied, "After all, it's divided among three people, so probably no one is full."

Then he looked at Naruto and said, "Want to come together? We'll be in the same class from now on. Kakashi-sensei is right, teamwork is the most important thing."

Naruto pouted: "Who wants to work with your team? You're awful..."

"boom!"

A fist the size of a clay pot came flying through the air and landed squarely on Naruto's head.

"Ouch!! It hurts! It hurts!"

Naruto, clutching his head, squatted down on the ground.

"If you can't speak properly, then shut up, you jerk!"

Sakura, seething with anger, clenched her fists, then caught a glimpse of Sasuke feigning surprise out of the corner of her eye.

She instantly switched gears, looking at Sasuke with a shy and embarrassed expression: "I... I was just angry that he said those things about Sasuke-kun..."

Uh!

Sasuke said helplessly, "We're already teammates in the same class, this kind of behavior isn't appropriate."

……

Hokage Building.

"Bang bang bang."

"Come in."

Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his head slightly: "Kakashi... how are the students this time?"

Kakashi placed his hands on the table and replied, "He has passed my test. Although he is still very inexperienced, Sasuke's performance surprised me."

Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent for a moment.

After lighting his pipe and taking a puff, he took out a scroll, unsealed it, and retrieved a document.

He then handed it to Kakashi.

Without saying a word, Kakashi took it and began to read it.

As he finished reading, his expression grew increasingly serious.

"We've been keeping watch on him with covert surveillance all along? He's just a kid."

Hiruzen Sarutobi replied in a deep voice, "The Sasuke Uchiha who knew that person on the day the Uchiha clan was massacred is not the same Sasuke as now."

"After that day, I analyzed the intelligence and realized this point. Only then did I understand what that person meant when he said he wasn't from this world."

Kakashi frowned.

As a genius who graduated at five, became a Chunin at six, and a Special Jonin at twelve, he was actually not stupid; on the contrary, he was very smart.

After only a moment's thought, he asked, "Does Lord Hokage require me to keep an eye on whether that person has reappeared?"

After a moment of silence, Hiruzen Sarutobi slowly nodded.

"That person's eyes only exist in legends, the Rinnegan of the Sage of Six Paths, and also the tomoe of the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan."

"You have witnessed his power, a very simple display, which is certainly not his full strength. But even with just that, no one in Root, including Danzo, could withstand a single blow from him."

“Even according to him… killing me wouldn’t be much harder than blowing a breath.”

Kakashi was stunned upon hearing this.
