Chapter 40

Konoha is very quiet at night.

The lonely moon hung in the sky, and a figure leaped past handsomely.

Hokage Building,

A white-haired figure suddenly appeared, kneeling on one knee.

"Third Hokage, Team 7 has passed the assessment and can take on missions starting tomorrow."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was reading a certain document and did not respond to Kakashi immediately.

After a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen signed the document and put it down before looking at Kakashi.

Sarutobi Hiruzen picked up the cigarette on the table and knocked it, then put it in his mouth and took a deep breath, saying, "It seems that the assessment of a genius is not easy. Thank you for your hard work, Kakashi."

"Mission accomplished!" Kakashi responded loudly.

"Hmm..." Sarutobi Hiruzen asked in a low voice, "Did they pass your assessment?"

"Yes!"

Since leaving the ANBU, Kakashi Kakashi has never allowed to graduate any of the new teams . However, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that it was not appropriate for this genius to be taught by other jounin, especially since there was a genius from the Uchiha clan among them. Kakashi was the only one who knew how to teach them.

So Sarutobi Hiruzen actually issued a strict order, asking Kakashi to pass their assessment.

If Kazuki and the others could not meet Kakashi's standards, Kakashi would lead them as a temporary leader for half a year.

Anyway, the Chunin Exam will be in half a year. As long as these six months pass, Kazuki and the others will be Chunin. In this case, there is no need to let Kakashi lead the team.

Now that Kazuki and the others passed Kakashi's test, it was an unexpected surprise for Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"It seems that I made the right choice by putting the three of them into a team, haha."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled happily, as if he had made some wise and mighty decision.

"Kazuki and Sasuke are both rare geniuses and are the future of Konoha. You must teach them about their shortcomings so that they can have stronger bonds with Konoha."

"I understand, Third Hokage." Kakashi nodded.

"Hmm."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took out a scroll from a pile and put it in front of the table, and said: "With the strength of your team, it is actually a bit wasteful to do a D-rank mission, but you have to take it step by step. After all, it is the first time to do a mission, so you still have to start with the simplest tasks."

"When you have completed ten D-rank missions, come back to me. I will arrange some higher-level tasks for you."

"I understand, Third Hokage-sama."

Both Kazuki and Sasuke are not inferior to Kakashi in strength. Sakura's basic abilities are also very solid. Kazuki had a sword on his back, and it looked like he had learned swordsmanship from his clan. His strength should not be underestimated.

Such a team is stronger than the average Jonin team. Letting them do D-rank tasks is a waste of talent.

Even if Sarutobi Hiruzen directly assigned B-rank tasks to Kakashi, Kakashi would not have any objections at all!

The Next Day,

Kazuki, who was used to sleeping in, climbed out of bed in a daze.

Looking at the sun that had not yet risen above his head, he sighed.

"When I was in school, I could also let the shadow clone handle it. I'm afraid this team gathering can't be perfunctory."

Although it is not easy to see through things like shadow clones, it is still easy for an elite jounin who keeps his Sharingan open at all times.

He climbed out of bed with difficulty and came to the bathroom mirror.

Looking at his messy hair, he scratched it a few times. His fluffy hair suddenly became stylish.

Brushing his teeth for three minutes and washing his face with water, he woke himself up completely.

Looking at his handsome self in the mirror, Kazuki murmured, "So handsome~"

"Speaking of which, now that I have graduated, I should find time to go to the Uzuki clan to challenge their so-called geniuses. The biggest genius in their clan was taught by me, so what is the point of this challenge?"

"It's really troublesome."

Kazuki thought to himself while tidying up the sink and going out.

After a while, he came to Training Ground No. 7.

On the way, he bought a few meat buns, neither fat nor thin, and they melted in his mouth.

They tasted good.

"Sasuke, Sakura."

Kazuki greeted them, and when he arrived, Sasuke and Sakura were already there.

The two of them also greeted Kazuki, and Sakura even trotted over and stuck to his side.

After waiting for a while, Kakashi also arrived.

Obviously, they had a mission today; otherwise, based on his temperament, he would definitely have been late by a few hours.

"Yesterday, I accepted a mission for you, D-rank. The mission is to help clean up the garbage in the river on the eastern outskirts of Konoha Village."

"Well…the reward is five thousand ryo."

"After the mission is completed, as the captain, I will receive two thousand ryo, and the three of you will each receive one thousand ryo."

For their first mission, Kakashi explained the distribution of rewards.

But the three of them didn't pay much attention, because none of them were short of money.

With the support of the Gekko clan, Kazuki had no shortage of money for daily expenses.

Ever since Sasuke found a few ninjutsu at the old Uchiha site, he had been rummaging around frequently.

Although Uchiha's treasure house had been emptied out, the money found in the homes of various clansmen was enough for him to spend a lifetime.

As for Sakura, she came from an average family, she was not short of money.

One thousand ryo was dispensable.
