He has a place in Konoha's intelligence department.
That night, a Chunin attempted to steal the Book of Seals but was dealt with by the Anbu.
Ninja Academy Class Assignment Day.
When Naruto walked into the classroom.
Everyone looked at Naruto with complicated expressions.
Naruto consistently ranked first throughout the year.
However, he rarely gets to hang out with other people.
He has his own circle of friends.
Only Sasuke, Hinata, Shikamaru, and Choji can fit in.
Previously, because of Naruto's status, no one would befriend him or speak ill of him; this was already out of consideration for his being the top student in his grade.
Now that Naruto's identity as the son of the Fourth Hokage has been revealed, they are immediately filled with regret.
Why didn't he get along better with Naruto?
Naruto ignored them and sat down next to Hinata.
Iruka walked in, and he gave Naruto a complicated look.
At first, he disliked Naruto just like everyone else, but he saw Naruto's hard work and dedication.
This gradually changed his opinion.
Naruto is Naruto, and the fox spirit is the fox spirit; they are definitely not the same person!
He gradually changed his attitude towards Naruto, and Naruto naturally understood this change, so he respected Iruka.
Their relationship gradually improved.
But he never imagined that Naruto was actually the son of the Fourth Hokage.
They are descendants of heroes.
"Alright, everyone, we'll now be dividing into classes. After that, your instructors will come to find you, so just wait here." Iruka clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention.
"First shift..."
Team 7: Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, Hinata Hyuga.
"Class 8: Kiba Inuzuka, Sakura Haruno, Shino Aburame."
"Class 10: Nara Shikamaru, Yamanaka Ino, Akimichi Choji."
After announcing the class assignments, Iruka said some words of encouragement to everyone before reluctantly leaving.
From this moment forward, this class has graduated and has nothing to do with him anymore.
But after teaching this class for six years, he still has a deep affection for it.
"Ha... I wonder who our Jonin instructor is?" Shikamaru muttered, yawning and holding his head.
"Damn it, I can't be in the same class as Sasuke anymore." Many girls in the class complained inwardly.
Especially that pink-haired girl, her eyes were glued to Sasuke, and she couldn't bear to look away.
"Could it be one of your three fathers?" Naruto asked curiously.
Shikamaru had told him about the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, saying that the three families had always been very united and that they were always in the same class.
It is most appropriate for their parents to teach them.
"No, they don't have time to instruct Jonin," Choji said, shaking his head.
"Okay." Naruto propped his head up. If nothing unexpected happened, their Jonin instructor would probably be Kakashi-sensei.
Kakashi had been guiding their training since they were children, and no one else knew them anymore.
The old man probably wouldn't be so foolish as to let a stranger take care of them, would he?
Gradually, Jonin came and took their classes away, but each Jonin couldn't help but glance at Naruto as they entered.
The son of the Fourth Hokage—many people have only heard of him but have never seen him.
As the classmates were gradually taken away, only Naruto and his two companions remained.
"Well, the only one who could wait this long is Kakashi-sensei," Naruto said, propping his head up with his hand.
Sasuke and Hinata both nodded in agreement.
Fortunately, they...
At that moment, the door was opened.
A Jonin with silver-white hair and wearing a mask walked in.
Kakashi greeted Naruto and the other two with a cheerful expression.
But what greeted him was three crisp snaps.
And three plumes of smoke that gradually dissipated.
"Well!" Kakashi's expression stiffened, and he casually touched his hair with his outstretched hand.
"They even use shadow clones to assign classes?"
"What an unlovable child!"
He slowly left the ninja academy.
As for where Naruto and the other two are?
Of course he knew.
As expected, it will be at the training ground again.
Those three children were really trying their best.
With their exceptional talent and hard work, Kakashi couldn't help but sigh, thinking that perhaps the three of them would become the pillars of Konoha in the future.
Chapter 34 Let's go through the process
The news, announced personally by the Third Hokage, was not intended to be kept secret from other countries.
Naruto's identity as the son of the Fourth Hokage quickly spread throughout the ninja world.
Land of Earth, Iwagakure Village.
The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, frowned deeply as he looked at the intelligence report in his hand.
"The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, actually had a son who survived? I wonder if he inherited Minato's talent!"
To put it bluntly, Minato Namikaze played a huge role in bringing the Third World War to a close.
He could instantly kill dozens of ninjas, whether they were genin or jonin, in Minato Namikaze's eyes there was no difference.
No ninja village could withstand Minato's massacre.
If Naruto had inherited Minato's talent and learned the Flying Thunder God Technique, he would have become the nightmare of all the ninja villages again in a few years.
"Put Naruto Uzumaki on the assassination list, raise him to number one, and not only that, put his name on the bounty board. Anyone who kills Naruto will receive 20 million ryo!"
"Ohnoki said in a deep voice."
"Huh? Dad, isn't this putting too much importance on that Naruto Uzumaki? According to the intelligence, he's just a mere genin. Is it really necessary to spend so much money?" Huang Tu scratched his head and said.
"Hmph, short-sighted." Onoki looked at Huangtu with a disappointed expression.
His son was quite strong, already possessing the strength of an elite Jonin, but his political acumen was too weak.
He is not suitable to become the Earth Shadow.
No, not even in the entire Hidden Stone Village, he couldn't find anyone suitable to serve as the Tsuchikage.
This allowed him, who was about the same age as Hiruzen Sarutobi, to still hold onto the position of Tsuchikage.
"If this Naruto Uzumaki has the talent of Minato Namikaze, and he really grows up, he will be a huge threat to our ninja village in the future. Twenty million ryo, is that worth more than dozens of Jonin?"
"Even if he didn't inherit Minato Namikaze's talent, he's still the son of the Fourth Hokage. Killing him would be a huge blow to Konoha's reputation, and the price is only 20 million ryo. Isn't that worth it?"
Onoki explained to his son earnestly.
Huang Tu then nodded in realization and immediately said, "Don't worry, Dad, I'll go and give the order right now."
"Hmm." Onoki nodded slightly, watching Huang Tu leave.
He looked at the information about Naruto Uzumaki again and narrowed his eyes: "How could that old guy Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly and openly leak this information?"
"He should know about the situation after Naruto's identity was exposed, but it was leaked at this time. According to the intelligence, Naruto has just graduated from the Ninja Academy and is only a genin. He will have many more opportunities to go out of the village to do missions in the future."
"How dare he?"
This is something Ohnoki couldn't understand.
If it were him, he would probably take this secret to his grave, or Naruto Uzumaki would be able to stand alone and not be afraid of assassination or encirclement.
Even Minato Namikaze himself, a mere 12-year-old child, couldn't escape assassination attempts from various countries, could he?
Aside from a very few people, no one knew Naruto's true strength.
Unless several Kage-level fighters are sent to ambush and surround them, it is impossible to capture Naruto.
At the same time, the Land of Lightning and the Land of Wind also made similar arrangements to those made by Onoki.
Since Konoha dared to leak this information, we dare to send people to assassinate them.
They were even willing to expose the spies hidden in Konoha.
Kakashi found Naruto and the other two at the training ground.
Even on the day of class assignment, they still persisted in training.
Hinata, who was fighting against Naruto's shadow clones, was the first to spot Kakashi.
Her gaze was constantly increasing.
"Naruto, Kakashi-sensei is here," Hinata said, retracting her attack.
"Let's hear what Kakashi-sensei has to say. After all, we're officially ninjas now." Naruto nodded slightly, and his figure disappeared with a snap, sending the message back to his main body.
Soon, Naruto and Sasuke returned to the area, and Kakashi happened to arrive as well.
"Well, they've all gathered together," Kakashi said, touching his hair.
"As expected, Kakashi-sensei is our Jonin instructor," Naruto said with a smile.
“After all, I’m one of the people who knows you best, and I’ve also left the Anbu and accepted the task of leading a team, so it’s just right for me to lead you,” Kakashi nodded and said.
"So what do we need to do now? Have we started accepting missions?" Sasuke asked curiously.
"We still need to follow the procedure. Let's start with self-introductions, like dreams and interests," Kakashi said, sitting on a rock.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki. My dream is to become Hokage. My hobby is fighting the strongest ninjas in the ninja world, and my ultimate goal is to conquer space," Naruto said with great interest.
"My name is Uchiha Sasuke. My dream is to kill Itachi. Rather than an interest, it's more of a dream: to revive the Uchiha clan!" Sasuke said, his expression slightly grim.
"My name is Hinata Hyuga. My dream is to grow together with everyone. As for my hobbies..." Hinata glanced at Naruto furtively, her face slightly flushed, "Hmm, flower arranging."
“Very good. It’s still early, so let’s have a survival drill. Of course, it’s different from the survival drills you have at the academy. You just need to snatch these two bells from me.” Kakashi said, taking out two bells.
"So, the three of us are going to fight Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto said with a strange expression.
The same goes for Sasuke and Hinata. Naruto was able to fight the Third Hokage to a standstill, and now with the two of them added to the mix, their combined strength is enough to kill a Kage-level opponent.
Is Kakashi really going to fight them?
"Ahem!" Kakashi understood their looks and coughed lightly, saying, "Well, this is the procedure. Although I've watched you grow, we still have to go through the process."
"Please note that this is just a procedure," he specifically explained the rules.
"Understood," the three nodded.
"Then, I declare the survival exercise open!" Kakashi announced, tying the bell to his waist and pulling up his headband.
As soon as he finished saying "start," Hinata stomped her left foot slightly, and a green Bagua symbol instantly spread out from under her feet, quickly enveloping Kakashi.
Hinata's figure vanished instantly, reappearing behind Kakashi and reaching for the bell at Kakashi's waist.
At the same time, Naruto and Sasuke appeared on Kakashi's left and right sides, respectively, and attacked Kakashi mercilessly with their fists and feet.
