Chapter 56 Teacher, I can’t stand it

Iruka sat at the dining table, drinking tea leisurely and correcting students' homework.

It was a rare day of rest, and he just wanted to stay at home comfortably and enjoy this rare tranquility.

Suddenly, accompanied by a whistling sound and a loud noise, Hatake appeared like a ghost in the corner of Iruka's bedroom, and the one-eyed man shouted in panic:

“I need help!”

Iruka was stunned for a few seconds, looked at Kakashi, and after making sure that his life was not in danger, he remembered what day it was.

"Oh my god, you let them pass the test, didn't you?"

"That's right..." Kakashi slumped against the door frame weakly, holding his head in his hands and letting out a whine.

There was another loud noise, and a furry claw scratched the wooden floor a few times. Parker also jumped out from the corner, jumped onto the dining table, and said anxiously:

"Sensei, you have to help us! How can Kakashi take care of three puppies if he can't even keep his own plants alive?"

"They're not puppies! They're genin!" Kakashi yelled in agony, but he sounded more like he was trying to convince himself.

Parker snorted, scratched his ears with his hind legs, and said:

"What's the difference?"

"Of course there is a difference! Legally speaking, they are adults!" Kakashi argued, but his tone was clearly lacking in confidence.

Iruka asked while comforting Puck:

"Don't be so anxious, let me sort this out. Are you saying that you, Hatake Kakashi, really let a group of Genin pass your assessment? Who are they?"

Iruka was not in charge of the graduation exam this year, so he knew nothing about these circumstances.

"Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura, and Uzumaki Naruto."

When Iruka heard these three names, he was stunned. After a long while, he reacted and couldn't help laughing out loud.

He laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes. He had to hold his stomach and bend over to try to control his laughter.

"Is it funny?" Kakashi glared at him unhappily, but Iruka laughed even harder, tears coming out of his eyes.

"You know what? Those three little brats are real little devils!" Kakashi said gritting his teeth.

Iruka finally stopped laughing, and while breathing heavily, he stretched out his hand to gesture in agreement.

"I really don't know what to do with them," Kakashi said helplessly, "Normally, the first step in team training should be to establish good teamwork, but these three don't need it at all!"

Iruka wiped the tears from his eyes and said:

"I thought so, but I may have accidentally told Sasuke about the two-thirds rule..."

"What?!" Kakashi looked at him in surprise.

"Don't get excited, I was just joking with him," Iruka explained quickly, "I just said it casually, who knew that kid took it seriously..."

Kakashi sighed in frustration, and Puck followed suit, nuzzling Iruka's arm with his furry head.

"So what are you going to do?" Iruka asked.

##Four hours ago##

Kakashi stood in training ground number three, looking at the three new students in front of him, carefully observing their every move.

He knew Uchiha Sasuke, or rather, he should have known him, but he found that the Sasuke in front of him was not the same as the boy in his memory.

Uchiha Sasuke's eyes were once icy cold, like the ice on that rainy night, sharp and fragile, broken, and hidden under deep hatred.

And now, his eyes were firm and sharp, like a burning flame, melting the ice covering his heart and revealing the tough steel underneath.

He still remembered what Iruka said, that Haruno Sakura was a crazy fan of Sasuke, and she was always around Sasuke like a nympho, but now standing in front of him was a female ninja with firm eyes and full of confidence, she was eager to try and couldn't wait to start training.

As for Uzumaki Naruto, Kakashi had always known that the boy was much stronger than others imagined, but today, he saw unprecedented confidence and determination in Naruto's eyes, as if he had found his own value and no one could shake his determination.

These weren't just kids who had just graduated from the Ninja School, they were monsters! Thinking of this, Kakashi couldn't help but start to wonder if he had done something wrong.

He made three mistakes.

The first mistake was that he treated them as ordinary fresh graduates and assessed their abilities individually, but failed to notice the subtle chemistry and teamwork between them.

The second mistake was that he thought everything was under his control and that they would obediently follow his rules.

The third mistake, and the one he should not have made the most, was that he underestimated their strength, thinking that he could easily test their level with his own strength.

However, as soon as the battle began, Kakashi realized that he was wrong, and extremely wrong.

The strength of these brats was far beyond his imagination, especially Naruto, who was said to have graduated with the worst grades, but actually used the Chunin level wind-style ninjutsu!

After only twenty minutes, Kakashi's first bell was taken away, which made him extremely embarrassed.

What made him even more incredible was that Naruto and Sasuke cooperated perfectly. Their attacks came like a storm, and Kakashi didn't even see how they exchanged bells.

He was stunned for a few seconds and was about to teach them a lesson, but Haruno Sakura took advantage of the opportunity.

The cunning little devil took advantage of his inattention and snatched the second bell from him.

Kakashi was stunned for a moment, his mind went blank, and he realized that he had really hit a wall this time.

Kakashi had conducted such tests countless times before, and each time, those self-righteous ninja school graduates returned empty-handed.

Those children simply don’t understand that in this world, companions and friends are the most important things. Without companions, no matter how strong you are, it is meaningless.

However, this time, Kakashi miscalculated.

These three children, who were only twelve years old, showed extraordinary teamwork and adaptability from the very beginning. They cooperated well, supported each other, and were even able to fight with experienced Chunins.

Kakashi could see that this was all part of their plan.

Naruto tried hard to hold back his laughter, he knew that he had successfully played a prank on his teacher again this time; Sasuke glared at Naruto for a while, then grinned, as if they could communicate with each other through eye contact; and Sakura put her hands behind her back, looking at him with a smile that made Kakashi feel uneasy.

He tied Naruto to a stake, and while he knew it wasn't fair, he couldn't find any reason to punish them.

He told them to eat lunch without Naruto even though it was only eleven in the morning.

What he didn't expect was that Sakura actually brought three bento boxes. She handed one to Sasuke and put the other one next to herself. Then she turned to Naruto and said, "Wait a minute and eat later." After that, she patted the grass next to Naruto to express her comfort.
