Chapter 348 Role Model

Six months later, Ninja School.

Today is the first day of school at Ninja School, so a large number of new students and their parents gathered here early in the morning.

In the crowd, two parents brought their children to meet each other.

"Duy, is your child going to ninja school too?"

When Hatake Sakumo, who was wearing a white kimono, saw Might Duy in the crowd wearing conspicuous clothes, he walked over.

Next to him, there was a little boy who looked very similar to him, and even his clothes were equally eye-catching.

Green tights, thick eyebrows, the only difference is the shiny black watermelon head.

"Yes, is that your child?" Duy also looked over. Next to Sakumo was naturally Kakashi.

"Hello, I'm Guy, nice to meet you!"

Might Guy look at Kakashi and gave him a smile that he thought was very kind.

However, the latter just nodded slightly indifferently.

Seeing Kakashi's response, Guy's eyes seemed to be burning with fighting spirit. He looked at Kakashi and said, "Let compete and progress further together!"

Kakashi remained expressionless and said nothing in response to Might Guy's sudden challenging statement.

Therefore, the former's behavior seemed a little awkward. At this time, Sakumo bent down and said to Kakashi: "Kakashi, you have to respond to Guy's words well. Maybe he will be your lifelong rival!"

Kakashi heard this and then slowly spoke, looking at Guy and said, "Then let's make progress together."

Having said that, he turned and walked towards the school.

"This child must be a genius like you!"

Looking at Kakashi who was leaving, Mighty Duy said to Sakumo that the latter was, after all, the famous Konoha White Fang, and Kakashi's mother, Suzuka, was also an elite among the current Konoha Jonins.

Kakashi, who inherited the genes of these two people, must be a genius.

Sakumo was also looking at Kakashi's back, with a hint of worry in his eyes, then he looked at Duy and smiled slightly.

…

"A new semester has begun. I hope that you, the second-year students, can set an example for the new students at the Ninja School."

In a second-year class at the Ninja Academy, a sensei stood on the podium and said this, and reflected in his eyes were the faces of boys and girls filled with excitement.

"Um!"

The students in the class all responded in a loud voice.

"Before we start today's class, I would like to introduce a new student to you. He will study with us in the future."

As soon as the teacher finished speaking, Kakashi walked in from the door, and then looked calmly at the group of students who were older than him.

"It's him!?" The boy with short black hair sitting on the seat narrowed his eyes and recognized the former.

It's Obito.

"Introduce yourself to everyone." said Jiraiya.

"My name is Hatake Kakashi." Kakashi only said his name and kept silent.

His brief self-introduction caused a burst of surprise among the students below. After all, Kakashi looked more like a new student.

Before this, no one here except Obito had ever seen him, let alone knew him.

The teacher was also embarrassed for a while, then looked at the whole class and said, "Kakashi is only four years old this year, but he got full marks in the basic test of the entrance examination, so he was directly promoted to the second year. But today is actually his first time to come to the Ninja School."

The so-called entrance examination is a screening for new students in the ninja school. After all, not everyone can become a ninja, even if they are children from ordinary families.

In the history of the Ninja Academy, Kakashi was the only one who got full marks in the entrance exam, so he skipped the first grade and was promoted to the second grade.

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an immediate uproar in the class.

"Wow, he's so awesome!" Many students said so.

"Tsk, that's nothing great." Obito spat and rolled his eyes at Kakashi.

However, Kakashi simply ignored all the compliments and glances.

The teacher also smiled and then said: "Not only that, Kakashi's father is..."

Kakashi, who was a man of few words, interrupted The teacher and said, "Sensei, this has nothing to do with my studies, right?"

"Uh" The teacher looked stunned.

"Where is my seat?" Kakashi said lightly.

"There." The teacher pointed in a direction where there were empty seats.

Kakashi walked over without any emotion and sat down.

"Hello, my name is Nohara Rin, Nice to meet you."

Sitting next to him was a cute girl with short hair, but Kakashi just glanced at Rin and then stopped looking at her.

The atmosphere was awkward for a moment, and The teacher could only knock on the desk in front of him to draw the students' attention and start today's class.

A few days later, in the Hokage's office.

"Hokage-sama." Walking into the Hokage's office, Minato said respectfully to Hiruzen.

Hiruzen nodded slightly and said, "It has been half a year since Jiraiya left the village. Has he contacted you during this period?"

Minato replied, "Not yet."

"This guy, as a sensei for others, is always running around everywhere. Even I, as his sensei, can't do anything about him." Hokage chuckled and shook his head.

Minato also smiled and asked, "What is the matter that brought you here today?"

"You know that the Ninja School just started a few days ago?" said Hiruzen.

"I know." Minato nodded and said with a smile, "I heard that Senior Sakumo's son broke the record of the Ninja School this time."

"Yeah, looking at the kid's level, he doesn't look like a freshman at all. He is indeed the son of that man."

Hiruzen smiled and said that as the Hokage, he was naturally very happy that such a genius had appeared among the freshmen.

Kakashi's performance was so amazing that even the three Sannin at that time, Hatake Sakumo after him, and even Minato were far inferior to him when they first entered the school.

However, his starting point of growth is different, so he will have to observe Kakashi's talents for a while.

"The reason I asked you to come here this time is actually to let you examine the talents of the current ninja school students, just like your sensei did back then."

Hiruzen said that when Jiraiya came to the Ninja School as a special sensei, in addition to Hiruzen asking him to accept Minato as his disciple, he also wanted to examine the quality of the students of that class.

"Yes!" Minato replied.

"I heard that you have a good relationship with Kakashi." Hiruzen smiled again.

"I often accompany Kushina to visit Sakumo-senpai's home, so we meet often." Minato said.

Hiruzen laughed and said, "I think it's not just because you meet so often, right?"

Minato was slightly stunned, and then Hiruzen continued: "Do you know why I want you to go to the ninja school to teach those students?"

Minato, who was always quick-witted, was stunned. Hiruzen chuckled and said, "Because I want to set an example for these little guys."

Minato is the youngest among the elite ninjas of Konoha today, but his deeds have become almost known to everyone in the village.

Therefore, he is the most suitable person to become a role model for the current ninja school students on the road of ninja.

When Minato heard this, he suddenly realized what Hiruzen had done.

Hiruzen chuckled. As early as two or three years ago, he no longer worried about Minato's strength. However, if he wanted to achieve his expectations, Minato needed more than just strength.

"Understood."

Minato replied again that he knew what Hiruzen was referring to, and he himself admitted that this was indeed the area he was least good at.
