Sarutobi Hiruzen looked through the list of team-leading jonin and selected candidates who could become the team-leading jonin for Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto.

Asuma Sarutobi has been eliminated by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Kurenai Yuhi has just become a jonin and is good at illusions. She may not be able to suppress Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto.

The other jonin weren't quite suitable either.

When he saw a name, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes narrowed slightly.

Kakashi Hatake.

Sarutobi Hiruzen now trusts Kakashi very much.

Because Kakashi has become one of the sharpest swords in Sarutobi Hiruzen's hand.

Kakashi was able to carry out any of his orders excellently.

As Chiba's disciple, Kakashi was tested by Sarutobi Hiruzen several times, and Kakashi passed his tests every time.

Sarutobi Hiruzen unconsciously picked up his pipe and took a sip. If Kakashi were to be the teacher of Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto, Kakashi would indeed be able to control the two of them and at the same time report their every move to him.

However, the matter of Uzumaki Naruto is very important, and Sarutobi Hiruzen feels that he must be careful.

Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes slightly and decided to test Kakashi again.

Sarutobi Hiruzen called a ninja to find Kakashi.

Kakashi came to Sarutobi Hiruzen's office, glanced at the list on the table, and immediately guessed that Sarutobi Hiruzen asked him to come because of his role as the team leader.

However, Kakashi didn't know whether Sarutobi Hiruzen had already decided on his student or came to ask for his opinion.

If it has already been decided, then it will be troublesome, because if Uzumaki Naruto is not among the Genin assigned to him, it will be useless even if he mentions it.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "Kakashi, I asked you to come here because I want you to bring two people to ask for your opinion."

Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It was not a bad thing to ask for opinions, at least there was room for maneuver.

Kakashi asked, "Sandaime, who would you like me to take first?"

"Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto."

Kakashi looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen in surprise. He didn't expect that Sarutobi Hiruzen would take the initiative to let him take Uzumaki Naruto with him. That would save a lot of trouble.

Kakashi agreed, "Sandaime, I am willing to take Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at Kakashi and asked, "Kakashi, do you have any objections? Did you originally want to bring Sasuke or Naruto?"

Facing Sarutobi Hiruzen's scrutinizing gaze, Kakashi calmly replied: "Yes, I already have a candidate in mind, Uchiha Sasuke."

Now it was Sarutobi Hiruzen's turn to be surprised. Kakashi and Uchiha Sasuke had no connection at all, so why would Kakashi think of bringing Uchiha Sasuke along?

Kakashi explained: "Third-generation, you also know that Sasuke's brother, Uchiha Itachi, was once my subordinate. At that time, Itachi was a subordinate I trusted, but he did something unforgivable.

Maybe Itachi had problems a long time ago, but I didn't notice it. If I had discovered it earlier, perhaps none of this would have happened. I have always felt guilty, so I don't want Sasuke, Itachi's younger brother, to repeat his brother's mistakes one day. I hope Sasuke can become a ninja loyal to Konoha.

Therefore, if the Sandaime doesn't say anything, I will ask the Sandaime to let me guide Sasuke, and I will make Sasuke a true Konoha ninja."

Kakashi didn't know if Sarutobi Hiruzen was testing him.

However, Kakashi regarded all of Sarutobi Hiruzen's words or actions as tests, so that he could be sure of success.

This is also the reason why Kakashi passed many of Sarutobi Hiruzen's previous tests.

He had no feelings for Uchiha Sasuke, but it just happened that Uchiha Sasuke was with Uzumaki Naruto, which made Kakashi think of this statement.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not doubt Kakashi's words, so he nodded and said, "If that's the case, then that's perfect. Kakashi, in addition to paying attention to Sasuke, you should also pay more attention to Naruto. You know how important Naruto is to us."

Kakashi asked in confusion: "I know Naruto is very important to Konoha, but why didn't the Sandaime keep Naruto alone? After all, I will definitely take them out of the village to carry out missions in the future. This is too dangerous."

Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally would not tell Kakashi that Namikaze Minato was about to wake up.

No one else in Konoha knew about this except him and the medical ninjas who took care of Minato Namikaze.

Even Utane Koharu, Mitokado En and Danzo didn't know.

Sarutobi Hiruzen also issued strict orders to those medical ninjas. If this matter was leaked, they would be treated as traitors to the village.

According to the medical ninjas, this was done for Minato Namikaze's safety. If Minato Namikaze's former enemies knew that Minato Namikaze was still alive and was about to wake up, then Minato Namikaze would be in danger.

However, only Sarutobi Hiruzen himself knew the real reason.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said to Kakashi: "I hope Naruto can live a normal life, so it is better to treat Naruto normally. From now on, as the leader of the team, you should proceed as you should. There is no need to treat Naruto specially because of his identity."

Kakashi nodded and agreed, "Yes, I understand."

...

A week later at Ninja School.

"Well, let's begin the graduation exam. Those who are called will go to the next classroom. The topic this time is the Art of Clonehood."

When Uzumaki Naruto heard the content of the test, his expression did not change at all.

The clone jutsu is no problem at all for Uzumaki Naruto.

Now Uzumaki Naruto can also use the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.

Because Chiyu considered that if the Nine-Tailed Fox did not cause trouble, it would be easy for Uzumaki Naruto to learn the clone jutsu and pass the exam of the ninja school.

However, in this case, Chiba guessed that Uzumaki Naruto might not be able to learn the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique through the Book of Sealed.

So after Qianyu taught Uzumaki Naruto the full sword form of Wind Breathing, he also taught him the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.

Soon Uzumaki Naruto's name was called and he went to the next classroom for an exam.

Iruka said to Uzumaki Naruto: "Okay, let's get started."

"The art of clone."

Uzumaki Naruto directly created five clones.

Iruka nodded: "Very good, you passed, come and get your forehead protection."

Uzumaki Naruto walked forward and picked up a ninja forehead protector.

Mizuki, who was sitting next to Iruka, smiled and said to Uzumaki Naruto: "You are really excellent, Naruto. You can easily create five clones."

Uzumaki Naruto said casually: "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Mizuki."

Uzumaki Naruto turned and left the classroom, but Mizuki's eyes were fixed on Uzumaki Naruto's back and he could hardly move them away.
