Hokage: I really don't want to work hard!Kakashi

At the same time, Kakashi was taken to the Hokage's office. It wasn't that the Third Hokage was monitoring Kakashi. The main reason was that the commotion just now was too big. Even if the Third Hokage intended to cover up, he had to ask Kakashi for help. Otherwise, he would not be able to explain to the elders, but after seeing Kakashi's miserable appearance, he was really shocked.

"Kakashi, the forest where you and Naruto were training exploded, and now you are in this state again. Can you tell me what happened? I don't want to force you to ask, but this matter is more than just I was the only one who noticed it, and all the other elders noticed it.”

Kakashi knelt down on one knee respectfully, but did not answer immediately. Instead, he glanced at the ANBU beside him. The third generation also understood the meaning, waved his hand, and the ANBU disappeared.

"Lord Hokage, after all, I have some responsibility for this matter. It was me who held Naruto too tightly. Naruto consumed too much of his own chakra during training, which resulted in the inability to suppress the Nine-Tails' chakra. The tail chakra went berserk."

"The Nine-Tails chakra is running rampant? No wonder I can still feel the Nine-Tails faintly. It looks very difficult. Should we take some measures?"

The Third Hokage's face darkened and his eyes became sharp, but Kakashi looked at him without any sign of weakness.

"I don't think it's necessary. Although the Nine-Tails Chakra went berserk, Naruto was still able to stay awake at that time. The reason why he couldn't control it was just because he was too young, and my Sharingan also had the power to suppress the Nine-Tails. I don’t think there will be any problem.”

"That's it. I trust your judgment, but I can only give you a guarantee as an elder. If Kyuubi goes berserk next time, I won't have the final say on how to deal with it."

"Yes! I understand."

Kakashi lowered his head solemnly, and the Third Hokage nodded, took a deep breath from his pipe, and while exhaling, looked at the sunset outside the window with complex eyes.

"Kakashi, Naruto has been training with you for almost half a year, right?"

"Yes, it's been more than five months."

"So how is Naruto's growth? You have said more than once that he has great talent. Can he now be on his own?"

The Third Hokage's tone was very calm, as if he was just chatting about everyday things and asked casually, but Kakashi's pupils shrank sharply, and in order not to be seen, he quickly lowered his head again.

"Naruto is already very strong, stronger than ordinary ninjas."

"Oh? That's good."

The Third Hokage responded calmly, his tone neither happy nor angry. Kakashi finally adjusted his expression and raised his head again.

"I don't know why you ask that?"

"Haha, it's nothing. I just heard from Iruka that Naruto is not active in school, so I'm a little worried about that. Since you said that, I can rest assured. Well, I see you are quite embarrassed. Go down and rest.”

"Yes!"

Kakashi responded and disappeared instantly.

The next day, in the ninja school, Naruto was still sleeping as usual.

Now everyone has become accustomed to Naruto sleeping in class. Even if Naruto attends class one day, other students will find it incredible. Iruka used to check Naruto's notes, but now he doesn't care. , If you don’t listen in class, what’s the use of taking notes?Just pretend he doesn't exist.

As the bell rang, Iruka stopped the lecture, but did not announce the end of get out of class. Instead, he winked at Hinata. Hinata understood very well and immediately patted Naruto to wake him up.

"Hmm~Hmm? What's wrong? Hinata?"

"Naruto-kun, Iruka-sensei has something to say."

"Oh."

Naruto rubbed his eyes, still looking sleepy, but at least he was awake, and Iruka didn't say much when he saw this.

"I have something to announce. There will be a test tomorrow. There will be a theory test in the morning and a combat test in the afternoon. You should try your best to prepare after you go home. Don't be late. The teacher who will invigilate the test is Teacher Mizuki. He is not as easy to talk to as me. , do you all know?"

"Yes! Got it!"

The students all responded, and Iruka nodded with satisfaction and left the classroom.

"Yeah! Great! This is actual combat!"

"Haha! Master, I can finally show my strength!"

"Hmph! I must be the one who wins in the end!"

The boys did not leave immediately, but kept chattering in the classroom. On the contrary, the girls lacked enthusiasm for practical exercises, but they were more confident in the theoretical exams.

Hinata looked at Naruto worriedly while packing her school bag.

"Naruto-kun, are you okay with the exam tomorrow? Do you need to borrow my notes to take a look at?"

"No, I have something else to do today. Even if I borrowed my notes, I don't have time to read them. It's just a short test anyway, and the results aren't very important."

"Can……"

Just as Hinata was about to retort, Sasuke came over with an unhappy look on his face.

"Naruto, my brother is already waiting for you, let's go."

"Okay! Well, Hinata, I won't see you off today. I'm leaving first."

Naruto hurriedly said goodbye to Hinata and followed Sasuke away. Looking at the backs of the two of them, Hinata couldn't help but curl her lips.

"When did you send me off? Really."

After the two left the school, they did not walk towards the Uchiha station, but towards the Hokage Rock. Although Sasuke took the initiative to find Naruto, he still looked unhappy at this time.

"I really can't understand why my brother can accept your challenge. You, a guy who only sleeps in class, dare to challenge my brother? Even I can't beat you, right?"

"Yes, yes, you, Erzhuzi, are the genius in the class, so of course you are right to think so."

"Asshole! How many times have I told you! Don't call me Erzhu!"

Sasuke was furious when he heard the word "Two Pillars", but Naruto was completely unmoved. He was joking, he had been calling him "Two Pillars" for more than ten years, how could he stop calling him because the person involved wouldn't let him?

The two walked for nearly an hour and arrived at the forest above the Hokage Rock. This forest was lusher than most forests in the village and was located on the edge of the village. It was difficult for the people in the village to detect fighting here.

Naruto didn't expect Itachi to specifically choose such a place. At first, he thought that Itachi would most likely choose the location within the Uchiha station.

"Here? It's quite on time. Let's get started."

Itachi didn't say much nonsense and directly took out the kunai from his ninja bag. Naruto didn't expect him to be so direct, so he quickly took out the kunai and glanced at Sasuke beside him.

"Okay, Erzhu, the task of leading the way has been completed. You can stay away."

"Humph!"

Sasuke snorted and took a few steps to the side, but it was only a few steps. In his opinion, the gap between Naruto and Itachi was really too big. The winner could be determined in just a moment, so there was no need for him. Dodge, get closer and you can clearly see the handsome figure of his brother defeating Naruto.
