Chapter 142 Kakashi: Hmm?
Kakashi stretched and got out of bed.
To be honest, this kind of leisurely life after leaving the Dark Division is really great.
He doesn't lack money to buy things.
The salary of the Dark Squad leader is very high, and there are also various mission rewards.
As long as Kakashi doesn't indulge in luxury goods or gambling, he won't have any wealth problems at all.
Kakashi's biggest hobby right now is reading erotic novels, and when he's free, he goes to the lake to catch a few fish and grill them.
The house he lives in is still the house on the Hatake clan's territory.
Although the Hatake clan has declined, the clan's territory still exists because of Kakashi's existence.
Therefore, he, Kakashi, can now be considered a well-off dog who has no worries about food and clothing.
After getting everything ready, Kakashi, with his hands in his pockets and eyes squinting, slowly walked towards Training Ground No. 4, facing the 9:30 a.m. sun.
I wonder what my men are doing?
Maybe they're sitting on the ground, trying to keep warm.
Hmm, did I go a bit too far?
Kakashi thought for a moment, then shook his head.
I don't think there's any problem. With the physical condition of those four people, they wouldn't get even a little bit cold.
If all else fails, Naruto can use his Wood Release to get some firewood, and Sasuke can use his Fire Release to start a fire.
Then they can live around the fire.
After clearing his mind of all the strange thoughts, Kakashi soon arrived at Training Ground No. 4, which was not far from his home.
The moment Kakashi stepped into the training ground, Karin's eyes snapped open.
"Hmm...it feels like I slept for a long time."
Karin emerged from the red sleeping bag and called to the other three.
"Get up! The king of lateness is here."
Kakashi looked at the small wooden hut that had suddenly appeared in the training ground and felt a sense of déjà vu about Tenzo.
No, has Naruto's Wood Release reached this level?
Speaking of which, Tenzo never had any contact with Naruto, so Naruto must have developed Wood Release on his own.
Looking at the two-bedroom, one-living-room wooden house standing upright like a tall tower in the center of the training ground, Kakashi's lips twitched uncontrollably.
So, how do we get rid of this thing later?
Should we bury it directly in the ground like we did when we did missions before?
However, the little ones look like they're sleeping soundly.
Kakashi looked at the small wooden house, a slight smile playing on his lips beneath his mask.
Kakashi loves bad taste and the like.
He used the techniques he had learned from his time in the shadows to conceal his presence and voice, and silently approached the door.
Kakashi was confident that he would not be discovered, and next, he was going to kick the wooden door open and wake up the sleeping people.
Kakashi's eyes were filled with anticipation. Although Naruto and the others were not what he had expected, it was nothing serious; he had simply woken them up.
"Hey, Kakashi-sensei, what are you doing?"
A slightly flippant voice came from the window next to him, and Kakashi's leg, which he had just raised, froze, as did his body.
He slowly turned his head toward the window, where a familiar red-haired creature smiled.
...
How did we get caught again!
Kakashi really wanted to take out the Icha Icha Paradise belt from his waist and slam it to the ground.
But it wasn't over yet. As Karin's head popped out, the other three heads also emerged.
Their eyes all held a hint of mockery, the kind of mockery that comes from someone standing in front of you and making a "hehehe" laugh.
Kakashi covered his face.
"Call me Kakashi-sensei. And what's going on here? Didn't I tell you to gather at five o'clock?"
Although Kakashi roughly knew what was going on, he wanted to use this opportunity to change the subject and move away from his frozen legs.
"Oh! I used ninjutsu to build a wooden house, and since Kakashi-sensei wasn't there, everyone slept for a while longer."
Naruto raised his hand and said smugly.
"We've heard adults say that Kakashi-sensei is the king of being late, and now it seems that's true."
The three heads beside him, including the ever-cool Sasuke, all nodded in agreement.
Is that so? It seems you have a good ability to gather intelligence, knowing how to collect information about people involved in the mission in advance.
Kakashi nodded to himself; his reputation as the king of lateness had already been spread by a certain kappa.
However, it may also be related to Sasuke and Hinata's family background. After all, as heirs of two major clans, their elders would definitely investigate their information in advance and relay it to them.
However, they did a good job, arriving at five o'clock as I requested, and also getting enough sleep.
Perfect, absolutely perfect.
Their teamwork and reconnaissance capabilities are top-notch.
But how will you fare in the upcoming assessment?
Kakashi opened the wooden door, and a jingling sound came from his body.
"You guys come out first, the assessment is about to begin."
"oh."
Naruto took the lead and stepped forward, followed by the three little ones.
Looking at the four clearly defined members of the team, Naruto was obviously the leader.
As for the other three...
Kakashi hasn't yet figured out their roles in the team.
"So, what is our assessment?"
Sasuke looked at Kakashi, who was standing there without saying a word, and took the initiative to go up to him and ask.
"Hmm...do you see these three bells?"
Kakashi took out three bells from the small pouch at his waist and shook them at the four little ones, making a clear tinkling sound.
"I saw it." *4
"Very good. Your next test is to snatch these three bells from my hands.
Whoever succeeds in snatching the bells can pass my test and become a genin."
Those who fail will be sent back to the Ninja Academy and wait for their chance the following year.
Kakashi's voice deepened, a stark contrast to the ringing bell in his hand.
"etc!"
Naruto reached out his hand.
"Why are there only three bells? There are four of us."
Kakashi's face darkened, and he let out a sinister laugh.
"Hehehe, because only three people can pass through, so do your best to compete for this opportunity."
"This is... the cruelty of the ninja world!"
"Then...why does that bell look different from the other two?"
The sharp-eyed Sasuke pointed out the oddity.
"...This is the captain's bell. Whoever gets it will become the captain."
Karin was a little unhappy; she felt that Kakashi was targeting her.
Otherwise, why are there only three bells? Doesn't that clearly mean he only wants to teach three people?
No, I'm going to get angry.
And what about Kakashi?
What he was thinking was: I actually went out and bought this bell yesterday afternoon. The other two were left over from before. Who knew that there would suddenly be another person?
