Chapter 31: Introduction Meeting

Damn it! What kind of students are these nowadays? Does he have some deep - seated hatred with these students? They sent him such a "gift" before even meeting him.

He recalled his joking conversation with Itachi.

"Itachi! Your precious little brother is going to be in my class. From now on, he'll be under my command. I'll give him some good training."

Itachi squinted his eyes and gave a faint smile.

"Then, please take good care of Sasuke, senior."

Kakashi saw that although Itachi was smiling, the unfathomable chill in his eyes made him shiver involuntarily!

He believed that if he really did something to Sasuke, Itachi would be the first to oppose it.

What should he do? Would it still be too late to resign to the Third Hokage now?

....................

As the time got closer to noon, Kakashi finally decided not to observe anymore and walked into the classroom. As soon as he opened the door, he triggered some traps.

Shurikens and kunai surrounded Kakashi from all directions, leaving him no chance to flee.

"Thud! Thud! Thud!"

After a puff of white smoke, a log was stuck full of kunai. Kakashi scratched the back of his head with a smile and swaggered in, only to hear Sasuke clicking his tongue.

Hey, hey, hey, what are you clicking your tongue for? Do you really wish to see me turned into a human pincushion? He managed to hold back this thought and pretended to be calm outwardly.

"Ah, hello, students. It's really flattering that you greeted me with such a 'gift' right off the bat."

"Of course! You're a Jonin. If you can't show some real skills, why should we trust you? Right, Naruto!"

∑(°Д°)

Suddenly being called on, Naruto looked at Sasuke today and felt a bit scared. He involuntarily swallowed his saliva. Does he have a feud with this teacher? He started so aggressively, and now he's sitting there with his legs crossed arrogantly.

"Naruto!"

"Ah, I'm here, teacher. Sasuke is just joking with you. Don't take it too seriously!"

"Just joking? Well, how should I put it? Anyway, my first impression of you is that you're really annoying!"

...................

"Anyway, let's put aside those unpleasant things for now and introduce ourselves first."

"I'll go first! My name is Kakashi Hatake. There's nothing special about me, and my hobbies are all sorts of things..."

"All we've learned about him is just his name!"

"Alright, now it's someone else's turn!"

"Teacher Kakashi, I'll go first!"

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I'm currently living at Sasuke's house. My dream is to become the Hokage so that everyone in the village will recognize me. And I'll make Sasuke admit that I'll be the Hokage one day, instead of always using that to mock me!"

"Yeah! It's a very noble dream. Next student."

"My name is Sakura Haruno. If I had to say what I want to do now, it would be to have a passionate and unforgettable relationship with a handsome guy. Ah - it's so embarrassing to say it out like this!"

Looking at little Sakura's lovestruck expression, Kakashi couldn't help but think that girls at this age cared more about dating than ninjutsu and training.

"Well, it's also a nice dream. The last student, please."

"My name is Sasuke Uchiha. Things I hate are sweets and natto. I don't particularly have anything I like. As for my future dream?"

He pondered for a while and then slowly spoke.

"If I have to say, I want to open a host club!"

(⊙o⊙)

Σ(っ °Д °;)っ

!!!∑(°Д°ノ)ノ

The three people who heard this couldn't help but show surprised expressions. What kind of dream was this? Why could he with such a cool and handsome face say such a thing? Open a host club!

If you want to open a host club, why come to be a ninja! Such a strange dream left even the usually carefree Kakashi speechless.

Itachi, do you know your brother's dream is to open a host club? And what if he mistakenly thinks it's his fault that Assistant Teacher Sasuke became like this?

ヾ(??Д??)?

"Eh~ Are you joking? I've never heard of you having such a dream before?"

He glanced indifferently at Naruto, whose jaw had dropped in surprise, and said indifferently.

"Of course, you should keep your dreams in your heart. I haven't achieved it yet. When I open the host club one day, I'll invite you to visit."

.................

"Alright, let's end this topic here. Meet at the outdoor training ground at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. We're going to have a survival exercise."

"Teacher, we've had many survival exercises at school. Why do we have to do it specifically this time?"

"Humph! There are 27 students who graduated from the Ninja Academy this year, but only 9 of you will become Genin. This survival exercise is to weed out those of you who are unqualified and not fit to be ninjas!"

"How could this be? Then what's the point of the graduation exam we worked so hard to pass?"

"Of course, it was to select more talented ninjas!"

"Oh, by the way, one last thing. Don't eat breakfast tomorrow morning, or you'll definitely throw up! That's all. Dismissed!"

With a "poof" sound, Kakashi disappeared before everyone's eyes.

"How could this be? I worked so hard to pass the graduation exam, and now there's going to be another screening."

Naruto noticed the uneasiness in Sakura's eyes and comforted her.

"Don't worry, Sakura. Sasuke and I are very strong. You don't have to worry too much about the outdoor survival training. We'll definitely pass it easily!"

"Naruto, thank you."

"It's nothing. Right, Sasuke!"

⊙_⊙

"Why... why are you looking at me with such a terrifying look in your eyes?"

Naruto thought hard but couldn't figure out what he had done to offend him today.

"I have a suggestion!"

Sasuke finally withdrew his cold gaze. Stupid Naruto, don't get too complacent. Isn't it just comforting someone? I can do it too!

"Even though Kakashi told us that we should meet at 8 o'clock tomorrow, according to his rule, to punish him for making us wait so long today, how about we show up late? Anyway, judging from the situation, that guy won't come early!"

"I-It's not a good idea. What if we miss the test..."

Sakura isn't very talented in Ninjutsu. If she doesn't follow the teacher's instructions, she might be disqualified from the test!

Sasuke half-closed his eyes, looking extremely dangerous. Naruto got scared and immediately agreed.

"Sure! I'll go with your plan. That teacher looks so lazy. Let's have breakfast at 11:00 and then come over!"

"But..."

"Sakura, don't worry too much. They said it's a wilderness survival training. He can't just send us back home without giving us a chance. It'll be difficult for him to account for it, so just relax!"

There were tears in Sakura's green eyes, and she was a bit touched.

(??﹏?? )

"Naruto...."
