Chapter 420: A Family of Three in the Morning Sun_4

Although Haruno Sakura and Naruto Uzumaki's strength had already spread widely among the higher-ranking ninjas, if Kakashi were really to be defeated by two freshly graduated students during the survival exercise to the point where he couldn't look after himself, his reputation would be ruined.

Moreover, if he claimed that Sakura and Naruto were unqualified later on, people might think he was retaliating in secret because he was beaten and didn't want them to graduate.

"Kakashi-sensei, you're really shameless, you know. You are a higher-ranking ninja, and we are just lower-ranking recruits. It's outrageous that you want to limit our abilities!" Naruto grumbled.
