" Hahahaha..."

Facing Sanada's look, Kakashi could only laugh awkwardly.

On the other hand, Sanada seemed pretty frustrated with Kakashi's attitude, especially when he still had the nerve to open up Icha-Icha paradise and asked Sanada to carry him on his back for the rest of the journey.

" *Sigh* Nevermind, you are my senpai after all..."

" Hahahaha, that's good. As expected from the only junior who I acknowledge," said Kakashi while laughing.

' Wait.... do I just take the Yamato's role here?...'

In the end, Sanada had no other choice but to place Kakashi on his back and continue the journey.

. . .

. . .

Later that afternoon, the group had finally reached the mission client, Tazuna's house.

Sanada placed Kakashi, who had recovered a bit on the ground, and went to his team.

Along the way, he had let team 6 communicate with team 7 as he thought it was good for Sakura and the two to talk with other people the same age as them. Still, he must make sure that the weirdness of team 7 didn't get into his team.

At this moment, there are two people other than Tazuna in the house, one beautiful mature woman and a snotted-nosed brat.

The beautiful mature woman is Tsunami, who is twenty-nine years old, and a beautiful middle-aged woman.

While the other one is Tazuna's grandson, Inari, who is only eight years old and has entered a rebellious period early due to the death of his stepfather.

The event after this was very familiar to Sanada. Inari would badmouth the ninjas, and Naruto would be there to pacify him. To avoid getting into this family drama, Sanada decided to just take Sakura and the two others outside with him.

" Kakashi-senpai, I will leave about explaining the situation to you. For now, I and team six will get outside for a bit." Said Sanada.

" Wait, where are you going?" Said Kakashi in shock. They have just arrived here, so why would Sanada want to go outside now?

" Training!" Said Sanada as he no longer give any care and left the house, followed by the member of team six.

Hearing this response, Kakashi also no longer entangled Sanada. He knew how dangerous a ninja's life is, so Sanada training team six was a good choice, he thought.

Besides, looking at Sanada's team member being so obedient to him, it seemed that Sanada had found his true meaning of life as a teacher.

On the other hand, Kakashi looked at his three disciples and sighed. One super troublemaker, one edgy emo, and one crybaby. Why couldn't the three just be as obedient as Sanada's disciple, he thought.

Wait.. Three? He should have three disciples, so why were there only two here....

A bad feeling rose in Kakashi's heart, and when he looked around, he indeed had found someone missing from his team.

' Sasukeeeee!!!!'

. . . .

- Deep in the forest, where Sanada brought his three genin to train -

" I want to join your training!"

At this moment, an edgy emo came out from the forest and said to Sanada.

Yup, it was none other than the last orphan of Uchiha, Uchiha Sasuke.

Sanada looked at Sasuke and felt a headache was coming toward him.

" You have Kakashi, right? So why don't you ask-"

" I want to get stronger! And since Kakashi-sensei is injured now, I have no choice but to ask you to train me!" Sasuke didn't even give Sanada any chance to finish his words and interjected.

For the current Sasuke, revenge is all he has, and he would do anything to get stronger, even if it were to ask Sanada to train him.

Sanada looked at Sasuke, trying to find a polite way to reject, but then..

" *Sigh* It's not that I want such a weakling like you to protect me. Just from the way you talk to Kakashi-sensei, you are a lot weaker than him, right? I just wanted to join your training because I have no other choice.."

This time, Sasuke was successful in making Sanada's face twitched.

Sanada took a deep breath as he knew he shouldn't get angry with such a little edgy emo brat, and then..

" Listen here, you little shit!"

. . . . .

* Censored because Underage violence is not good *

. . . . .

" Now, you can join the two over there. I will guide Sakura first. Only after you finish the training with the two that you can come here." Said Sanada to Sasuke, who now had become a lot more docile.

But Sanada would never think that such a simple sentence would really hurt Sasuke's fragile pride.

" Wait! Why should I join them? I am an Uchiha. Do you think I am weaker than this girl over here?" Said Sasuke as he pointed at Sakura, no longer hiding the envy in his tone.

Just now, when Sanada was teaching Sasuke some common sense, Sasuke was able to find how refined Sanada's movement in close combat, and it was able to captivate him slightly.

Sanada could only shake his head at Sasuke's rebuttal. Do you think the Uchiha clan is strong? No, only a few handfuls of Uchiha are strong, and the rest is no better than cannon fodder. Felt Sanada in his heart, but of course, he could not say this directly to Sasuke.

" Listen here, Sasuke. Basic is important, and you need to learn the fundamental with-"

" I'm not going to listen to your words! you are just biased because she is your disciple, right? I want to duel her and prove who is the stronger between us!"

Being cut by this edgy emo twice time in a row, Sanada also started to get annoyed.

He shifted his gaze toward Sakura, who looked a little bit lost as only now she realized the true nature of the one she admired in the academy.

' Well.. this will also be good for Sakura's growth.'

For the current Sanada, the growth of his disciple is his topmost priority, so noticing that this might be a good chance for Sakura to leave her past self, Sanada eventually agreed to this challenge.
