The Byakugan Princess of Konoha

Hinata stared expectantly at the classroom door, waiting for Kakashi to fall for her trick.

……

Early this morning, Kakashi and a group of Jonin went to the Hokage's office to report for duty. They watched the graduates being assigned to classes through a crystal ball, and then Kakashi and the Third Hokage visited Naruto's and Sasuke's homes, gaining a basic understanding of their lifestyles.

Although Kakashi hadn't passed his tests for two consecutive years, everyone knew that those were just practice subjects prepared by the Third Hokage for Kakashi, and also to let Kakashi change the lifestyle of the Anbu.

No one would let an elite Jonin lead an ordinary rookie Genin; that would be a waste of human resources.

Of course, Kakashi is not an ordinary ninja who has no autonomy. If Hinata, Naruto, and Sasuke fail Kakashi's test, Kakashi will indeed fail them.

After visiting the students' homes, Kakashi, as usual, went to the memorial to remember the past, so he was unsurprisingly late.

As Kakashi entered the classroom, he glanced at the blackboard eraser stuck in the crack of the door. Such a clumsy trap was obviously designed by Naruto.

Kaka, dressed in a suit, pushed open the door as if he knew nothing, only to be hit on the head with a 'smack' by a blackboard eraser.

'Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!'

That wasn't all. The force of pushing the door pulled the steel wire, and chalk pieces shot towards Kakashi like shuriken.

Hinata's trap wasn't actually that ingenious, but Kakashi clearly underestimated Hinata and her group. Plus, with Naruto's trap as a decoy, Kakashi overlooked the fact that there was another trap behind the trap from the very beginning.

However, a Jonin is a Jonin after all. The chalk passed right through Kakashi's body without any surprise. It was just a normal clone technique. Kakashi had already silently appeared on the podium.

"So fast!"

Hinata was also taken aback by Kakashi's speed, but upon closer inspection, it didn't seem to make any sense.

Even without Guy opening the Eight Gates, Kakashi is a strongman who can hold his own against Guy in taijutsu, so it's normal for him to have such speed.

"Hahahaha, teacher, you're so lame!"

The person laughing so happily is actually Hinata. Even though she knows Kakashi deliberately fell into a trap, she still finds it very funny.

Naruto laughed so hard his stomach cramped up.

"Well, how should I put it," Kakashi muttered to himself, stroking his chin, "my first impression of you guys was..."

"Quite annoying!"

Hinata pointed at Kakashi and said defiantly, "Sensei, my first impression of you was that you're a lecherous middle-aged man! And a really annoying one at that!"

"Forehead……"

Kakashi thought to himself: I'll accept being called a lecher, but what's the point of this middle-aged man?

Hinata stated that she did not want to mention her first encounter with Kakashi.

After leading Hinata and the others to the rooftop, Kakashi sat on the railing and casually said, "Well then, let's introduce ourselves first!"

What should I say when I introduce myself?

"Um... what they like, what they dislike, what their dreams are, their interests... things like that!"

Naruto shouted, "Wait a minute, let's go first, Master!"

"Oh? Me?" Kakashi said weakly, "My name is Hatake Kakashi. I have many likes and dislikes, and a wide variety of hobbies. As for my dreams, there's not much to say..."

"They didn't say anything at all," Hinata and the other two thought to themselves.

"Your turn is next, let's start from the right!"

Naruto's self-introduction was nothing more than the untold story of ramen and the Hokage, while Sasuke's self-introduction was much more exciting. He swore that he would kill his brother!

"Alright! It's the girls' turn!"

Hinata rested her chin on her hand and said weakly, "My name is... Hyuga Hinata. I like many things, such as tasting delicious food, sleeping, reading, daydreaming, shopping, training, beauty treatments, making friends, having meals together, bullying a certain fat guy... (500 words omitted)."

"There are many things I don't like, such as not being punctual, not paying attention to hygiene, being secretive, and having no motivation..."

"I have many dreams for the future, such as..."

"I also have many hobbies, for example..."

Kakashi rolled his dead fish eyes, and seeing that Hinata was determined to talk until tomorrow morning, he had to interrupt her in time: "Alright, that's enough about the self-introductions!"

Furthermore, why are all the things Hinata says she doesn't like my flaws?

Hinata protested, "Kakashi-sensei, it's very impolite to interrupt someone's self-introduction! I haven't finished speaking yet!"

Kakashi sighed and said, "We'll get to know each other better in the future!"

Oh well!

Hinata wasn't lying. She dared to swear in the name of the Otsutsuki clan that every word she said could be used as evidence in court.

"That's enough for my self-introduction. We'll begin our mission tomorrow."

"First, the four of us will carry out this mission—a wilderness survival exercise!"

"This is no ordinary wilderness survival exercise. In this exercise, your opponent will be me," Kakashi continued, seeing Naruto and Sasuke's nonchalant expressions. "This is a test with an elimination rate of over 66%. Out of 27 graduates, only 9 will ultimately be recognized as genin!"

Hinata glanced to the side; those two were indeed quite frightened.

"I've written down all the specific requirements here, so don't be late tomorrow!"

Kakashi handed three forms to Hinata and the other two, and with one hand forming a hand seal, he was preparing to use the Body Flicker Technique to leave.

Before leaving, Kakashi gave a special reminder: "Oh, and don't forget to bring your ninja tools. Forget about breakfast, you'll definitely throw up by then!"

Hinata waved goodbye, and shouted, "Kakashi-sensei, even if I throw up, I'll throw up on you, and you won't get away with it!"

As an elite Jonin with exceptional chakra control and having copied thousands of ninjutsu, the man suddenly slipped, his chakra leaking out, and he almost failed to use the Body Flicker Technique.

Kakashi had been intentionally or unintentionally putting pressure on Hinata and the others with his killing intent. Now that Kakashi was gone, Naruto couldn't help but yell, "What's going on?! I finally managed to... So why do we have to take a graduation exam?!"

Hinata beckoned to Naruto, gesturing for him to come closer, and said mysteriously, "Naruto, don't you have a killer move? If you use that move against Kakashi-sensei, he'll definitely be hit!"

Sasuke: Naruto's ultimate move?

Naruto: How did Hinata know I learned Shadow Clone Technique?

Hinata stood up and shouted, "It's that Sexy Jutsu! Naruto, you're the man who defeated the Hokage! Kakashi-sensei is no match for you!"

Sasuke: You two idiots!

Chapter 35 Akamaru’s Secret Treasure

Upon first meeting, Kakashi was undoubtedly an annoying and unpleasant person.

With half his face and one eye covered, he seemed to exude an air of mystery. But in reality, the one dead fish eye that was visible completely ruined Kakashi's entire aura.

Add to that Kakashi's half-dead attitude and listless tone.

This clearly means: I look down on the three of you.

Although Naruto is a bit silly and doesn't do things properly, there is one thing that Hinata thinks he did very wisely, and she vows to learn from Naruto.

That night, Hinata replaced the sandbag she used for practicing Gentle Fist with one shaped like Kakashi and beat him up until late into the night.

Hinata is also unusually dedicated to training. If she continues to beat up Kakashi, she believes her Gentle Fist skills will improve rapidly.

Kakashi had arranged for the practice session to start at 5 a.m.

Hinata dared not be late, so she got out of bed around 4 a.m., washed up quickly, ate a hearty meal, and packed some for Sasuke and Naruto as well.

These two naive fools must have believed Kakashi's lies.

At 4:55, Hinata appeared on time at the Seventh Training Ground, while Naruto and Sasuke had already arrived.

"Yo! Good morning!" Hinata greeted sleepily, put the breakfast on the ground, and asked, "You guys haven't had breakfast yet, have you?"

"Here! These are for you!"

"Good morning, Hinata!" Naruto smirked as he approached Hinata, grinning lewdly. "Hinata, you actually brought me breakfast! That's so touching!"

Hinata shoved Naruto and said irritably, "Stay away from me!"

Naruto was starving. Just as he opened his lunchbox, he suddenly remembered Kakashi's instructions from yesterday and couldn't help but ask, "Hinata, didn't Kakashi-sensei say yesterday that we shouldn't eat breakfast?"

Sasuke sneered, "Idiot!"

Naruto angrily retorted, "What did you say?"

Hinata explained, "Kakashi-sensei only said that eating breakfast would cause vomiting, but he didn't say that eating breakfast was forbidden!"

Naruto ate both lunch boxes by himself, clearly not intending to share with Sasuke.

That's childish!

'boom! '

Hinata punched Naruto hard and said angrily, "The other portion is for Sasuke. If he doesn't eat his fill, he won't have the strength to participate in Kakashi-sensei's survival exercise later."

Sasuke glanced at Hinata and said casually, "I've already eaten!"

Hinata was a little surprised. Had Sasuke become clever, or was he just putting on a brave face?

While Naruto was eating, Hinata beckoned to Sasuke, took out tools for setting traps from her backpack, and said, "Sasuke, let's set up a trap!"

Sasuke asked in confusion, "A trap?"

Hinata nodded and explained, "The traps are divided into two parts. The first part is the trap we'll be using in the exercise later, and the second part is the punishment for Kakashi-sensei being late!"

As an elite Jonin of Konoha and the Jonin in charge of Team 7, Kakashi could naturally be late and then make up a flimsy excuse to get by.

As a novice ninja, Hinata knew that Kakashi would definitely be late, but she still had to arrive at the meeting point on time.

Otherwise, if Kakashi had simply written "Hinata is an unpunctual ninja" in Hinata's ninja report, it would have affected Hinata's future ninja promotions.

This is so unfair!

Sasuke was helping Hinata set up the traps when he suddenly turned to Hinata and asked, "Have you guessed what the survival exercise is about?"

Hinata grunted in agreement, and after tying a wire around her neck, she explained, "It'll probably be something like a battle. I think it'll be the three of us fighting against Kakashi-sensei!"

Sasuke's face darkened. Was he going to fight a Jonin?

After working for more than ten minutes, Hinata and Sasuke emerged from the woods.

Hinata walked up to Naruto, then took one step, two steps, three steps... about ten steps in total. She stomped her foot on the ground and grumbled, "If we were standing with Naruto, Kakashi would probably be standing here!"

Naruto asked curiously, "Hinata, what are you planning to do?"
