Naruto: All depends on Kyuubi C

Because of Kakashi's slightly relaxed but actually threatening words, the three of them couldn't help but return to their homes with their own thoughts.

But this night, some people stayed up all night, some were recharging their energy, and some were still training silently.

As daylight broke and Konoha welcomed the first ray of sun at five in the morning, the three members of the new Class [-] had already gathered at the agreed upon location.

This training ground designated by Kakashi is wider than the training grounds generally used publicly by Konoha for ninjas.When Naruto came, they just looked around and saw that this was a training ground exclusively for the senior jounin in the village.

It is the same size as the training ground that Kai gave to Naruto before. It is most likely a special place given to Kakashi by the village.

"Naruto-kun, could the danger Kakashi-sensei mentioned yesterday be..."

Hinata's expression was a little worried, and she looked at Naruto to discuss with him what might happen today.

"Don't worry, Hinata, I will protect you no matter what happens!"

But Naruto still looked carefree, giving a thumbs up to Hinata, and then showed his big white teeth to Sasuke next to him.

"And you too, Sasuke!"

"Hmph, just mind yourself. Also, don't imitate Xiao Li, it will make you look even more idiotic." Sasuke ignored Naruto's trick, sorted out his ninja bag a little, and then leaned on his side He closed his eyes and meditated on the tree trunk.

Hinata was slightly startled, as if she saw that Naruto was extremely confident today, and she would never question Naruto, and then she nodded and said nothing more.

As time passed by, the sun, which was just as white as a fish belly on the sea level at the beginning, was now hanging high above the three people, emitting an increasingly hot breath.

Naruto, who had shown eagerness and readiness to try at the beginning, had completely relaxed as his patience was constantly being worn away.

Naruto casually found a shady spot under the shade of a tree, and sat down on the ground. On one side he yawned frequently due to lack of sleep, and on the other side he was so bored that he used shurikens to use the fallen leaves from the branches above his head as targets.

"Dong dong dong."

With the last three shurikens in his pocket, they penetrated six leaves in succession at almost the same time and were nailed to the trunk of the tree. Naruto finally shouted impatiently to the sky.

"Too slow!!!!"

"What the hell is that Kakashi-sensei doing?"

Hearing Naruto's constant complaints, Sasuke, who was pretending to be cold and resting and not paying attention, couldn't help but frown.

It's really too slow.

On the contrary, Hinata acted like an honest child and took out a huge thermal box from her backpack calmly.

"Naruto-kun, Sasuke-kun, why don't you eat something to cushion your stomach first? I was a little nervous this morning and didn't sleep well, so I got up and made some extra breakfast..."

"Oh, Hinata is so considerate! When you say that, I feel like I've been so hungry since the beginning! This teacher made me not even eat breakfast!"

Naruto's eyes shone, and Sasuke walked over.

After all, during the days when Hinata was training with Naruto, he occasionally tasted Hinata's cooking as a neighbor, and he was used to it.

Just when the three of them were about to eat something to fill their stomachs, a greeting sounded that was just right but was actually long overdue.

"Hey, gentlemen, good morning!"

Kakashi appeared in front of them with a smile on his face.

"Good morning? It's almost noon, you tardy teacher!"

Naruto complained immediately.

"What, I just lost my way on the road of life, and at the same time, a black cat appeared in front of me..."

Looking at the suspicious eyes of the three little ones in front of him, Kakashi couldn't help but pretend to cough a little awkwardly: "...Anyway, let's talk about what we are going to do today."

"Teacher, you changed the topic too abruptly."

Naruto's dissatisfaction was almost written all over his face.

Kakashi, who has experienced hundreds of battles and is so experienced, ignored Naruto's condemnation without blushing and continued: "The purpose of bringing you here today is also very simple, just like I said before, I have a certain understanding of your strength, and your basic abilities are very good."

"However, compared to the abilities developed in school, what I care more about is what you can do in actual combat!"

Actual combat!

As soon as these two words came out, Sasuke's expression changed slightly, and his eyes became serious.

Hinata was still standing beside Naruto quietly and obediently as usual, but her eyes became serious and firm.

[Oh, it seems that these two people have more ninja talents than I thought.If everything goes well, they may be able to take a big step on the road to ninjas in a short time. 】

Kakashi had a panoramic view of their performance and did not find that they showed any fear of actual combat. This was also very satisfying in his heart.

Then, he stopped at Uzumaki Naruto.

The excitement on that face perfectly interpreted Naruto Uzumaki's superb acting skills.

【This boy......】

Kakashi couldn't help but fall into memories. Last night, he deliberately waited until Sasuke and Hinata left Naruto's room before visiting Naruto's home.

"The lesson I talked about tomorrow at the training ground is actually a practical exercise I will give you."

"Actual combat? That would be great!" Naruto looked very excited when he heard this, but his excitement was soon interrupted by Kakashi.

"But Naruto, you are different. What you have to do in this exercise is not fighting, but performing."

"Eh?"

"Your strength has been recognized by almost all jounin during the ninja school, including me. Even I feel that there is no need to evaluate your strength."

At this point, Kakashi looked at Naruto and seemed to be thinking about something, then paused and continued.

"But Hinata and Sasuke are different from you. Although they are good enough in terms of strength, they still have a shortcoming that cannot be ignored. And this shortcoming is very fatal to ninjas."

"Shortcomings?" Naruto was stunned, and then asked, "What kind of shortcomings are so serious?"

"rely."

Kakashi looked at Naruto and said word by word: "For them now, relying on you seems to be a natural thing. They don't even realize it."

"And have you ever considered such a situation. In the missions they go to perform in the future, you are actually...not by their side."

The night wind followed the moonlight and invaded Naruto's home from the window. Kakashi leaned on the window sill, looked at the bright moon, and murmured: "And there is no way you can help them correct this."

"So, for tomorrow's actual combat exercise, I need you..."

"Defeat."
