'These two... wait Sasuke couldn't take it from me because he didn't have any physical engage with me, the only one will be... ' as his gaze fell on Naruto sky bright eyes.
'He took the bells from me without me even noticing!'
- Hokage Tower -
Many Jounin was standing in front of the Cuurnect Hokage Namikaze Minato and his preceding Sandaime Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.
They are here to give the final result of the Survival training to the Hokage, The team that passed and these that will be sent back to the academy. "Alright, give me your final result with each team, passed or failed and If there is someone you wish to give special attention to.
"Team 8 Inuzuka Kiba, Hyūga Hinata, Aburame Shino, all of them passed! I will note that they didn't corporate the best at the start, their shorts coming is Kiba overconfidence which made him have a hard time before he agreed to work with the others.
Hinata's lack of self-confidence which made her think that she holding back everyone.
The last one is Shino was silent and didn't seem to care, this lack of connection with his teammates and lack of care is something I wish to work on. That's all." spoke Kurenai with a smile on her face.
"Team 10, Akimichi Choji, Nara Shikamaru and Yamanaka Ino all of them passed as well! The new combo of the Ino-Shika-Cho isn't bad, they nowhere near the original but I believe the with enough training getting there won't be a problem!" Said Asuma with confidence that seems to be in his face as he was smoking.
"Team 11 Uchiha Satsuki, Uzumaki Karin, and Sai. They pass as well. Well, I have my doubts about this team honestly, while they did work together they don't get along the best.
Satsuki's arrogance doesn't help, while Karin is mostly quit Satsuki manage to get her fired so their combination is not bad. Sai thought is very silent and doesn't let out much. I will figure everything out with more time." Said Anko.
Minato nodded and Hiruzan furrowed his brows a bit but said: "Pay more attention to Sai something about him seemed a bit off, his records as well." Anko nodded.
"Team 12 passes completely Yondaime-sama. Their teamwork is amazing but considering they grow together and train together it's completely understandable. They know each other flows and covering for each other they are a really amazing team." Said Uchiha Itachi, the Jonin of Team 12.
Minato smiled with pride as he knew it wasn't easy to get such praise from someone like Itachi.
That's was when a poof of smoke appeared in the room as Hatake Kakashi the Jonin of Team 7 appeared!
He bowed to the two present Kages and said: "I'm sorry for being late, Sensei." "That's fine Kakashi." Answered Minato.
"So let me know, what the result of team 7." Hearing the kage Kakashi furrowed his brows and said "Team 7 is ridiculous Sensei. I will start with Sakura, she is weak in taijutsu and Ninjutsu, her genjutsu is not bad but she is afraid of direct engage, through the entire exam she stayed hidden. Sasuke is very good. While I didn't test his strength his strategy and Ninjutsu are very good, His teamwork with Naruto completely overtook me." Hearing that everyone was not surprised because that much was known from the records but what did he mean by Naruto and Sasuke completely overtook him?
"Both of them is something that could be understood, but Namikaze Naruto..." He said Naruto name his furrow his brows as many emotions came in his heart. Minato was surprised to see such a reaction from Kakashi, the other Jonins was the same.
"His ninjutsu is not bad, he is capable of using Katon Jutsu." Said Kakashi glancing at Itachi before continuing "His taijutsu is very strong, his physical strength is something that no genin should possess. His speed is even scarier, he forced me to get serious there."
"He also seemed to get along with Sasuke fairly well, which is not what I heard, and after this survival training, I'm certain that everything that Naruto showed in the academy was fake. This leads me to the consultation that Naruto failed and stayed at the bottom to be teamed with Sasuke."
"And something telling me that what he showed to me at the survival training was only the tip of the iceberg, I will get to the bottom of that."
Everyone was shocked, they all knew about the eldest and weakest son of the Yondaime Hokage! Everyone in the village did, so hearing so much from Kakashi was shocking. "Alright. That's it for today, I count on all of you to raise to next generation of Konoha to your best abilities! You are dismissed." Everyone left but Kakashi stayed behind and looked at the Hokage.
"What is it, Kakashi?" "Sensei, It's about Naruto. You never trained him, nor Jiriya-sama, Tsunade-same or Orochimaru-sama. So it's beyond me how he got so strong alone, I will keep monitoring him and see what more I can gain. But I do think I should report to you, When I asked about their dreams, Naruto answer and way of speaking seemed very off." Kakashi was about to keep but, decided to stay silent, Naruto was still Minato son, it's still merely a thought unless he was sure he won't mention it.
"Is that so? Alright, I will leave Naruto to you, please take good care of him." Said Minato. Kakashi bowed and disappeared in a poof of smoke.
