Naruto: Sasuke and Naruto Hot Heaven

"Calm down." Kakashi held his hand, motioning him to relax, "I'm not here to argue with you, where's Iruka?"

Xuanjian let go of his hand dejectedly, shook his head and said:

"I don't know. It seems he went to buy some bandages. But he hasn't come back in such a long time. I guess he went to report to the old man."

"No need to look for it." Kakashi pointed to the door and said slowly, "Your partner is here, and he brought a burden with him."

Iruka and Asuma walked into the house one after another. Seeing Xuanjian's miserable appearance, Iruka rolled his eyes helplessly, while Asuma rushed over with a worried look on his face.

"How are you? How did you get hurt like this?"

"I won't die." Xuanjian replied unhappily, but he felt a little warm in his heart because of his friend's concern.

"You should rest in the hospital and stay away." Iruka said, placing a bag of medical supplies on the table, "Asuma, get him off my couch, this is new!"

Asuma didn't say anything, he carried Xuanjian and walked out. No matter how Xuanjian struggled, it was useless.

"Remember to change the bandages!" Iruka shouted at their backs, "Don't blame me for not reminding you!"

"I know, I know!" Xuanjian answered impatiently, his voice becoming farther and farther away, and finally disappearing at the end of the corridor.

Kakashi and Iruka were the only ones left in the room. Iruka then noticed Kakashi's presence. He turned around and asked while rolling up his shirt sleeves:

"Why are you here? What's the matter?"

Kakashi smiled and said:

"Isn't it the annual complaint meeting again? I have to start training new people again."

"What's there to complain about?" Iruka said as he re-tied his loose ponytail. "You are the strongest special jonin in the village, bar none! Ever since you retired from the Anbu, you have been training new people every year. There's no point in you complaining."

"But, I don't want to take care of a child at all..." Kakashi muttered softly.

Iruka couldn't help but laugh:

"I didn't say it was a good thing to let you take it, it's just your fate."

Iruka leaned against the wall, looking relaxed. Kakashi suddenly became curious, why could Iruka always stay calm?

He has spent almost his entire life in the ANBU and is used to seeing life and death, and the only person calmer than Iruka is probably Shikamaru, so they would become special jonin's instructors, right?

"When are you going to give up on your students this time?" Iruka suddenly asked.

"Who knows." Kakashi shrugged and said noncommittally.

Iruka sighed deeply, turned his gaze to the window, and was silent for a long time before speaking again:

"Looks like Naruto is graduating this year."

"Really?" Kakashi asked in surprise.

Iruka nodded, a pleased smile on his face.

"Although his academic performance is still not that good, his physical training results are very good, so there shouldn't be any problem. Moreover, regardless of the test scores, I believe Naruto will become an outstanding ninja."

Kakashi took a deep breath, suppressed the memories that did not belong to the moment, and whispered:

"I hope so."

The night before the selection exam, Naruto barely slept all night.

Sakura chatted with him until late. They talked about various ninjutsu, how Sakura deliberately provoked Ino during extracurricular sparring, and why Sasuke and Kiba hadn't fought recently.

They tacitly agreed not to mention the exam, and Naruto didn't want to mention it either. He would rather continue chatting with Sakura until they were both too tired to fall asleep.

But when the night was quiet, the selection exam inevitably came to his mind.

"What if I'm assigned to a group with people who hate me?" Naruto asked Kurama worriedly, "What if they don't want to go on a mission with me?"

"Idiot!" Kurama's voice was deep and powerful. "Do you think the Uchiha brat and that pink-haired girl will give up on you so easily? You think too much! Go to sleep!"

Naruto closed his eyes without hesitation, took a step back, easily fell into the lake of the sealed space, and sat down cross-legged.

More than a year has passed since he risked his life to go to the Land of Whirlpools to rescue the Nine-Tails, and the Nine-Tails looks much more energetic than before.

Its fiery red fur seemed to be coated with a layer of gold, and its eyes changed from blood red to a brighter amber, making it look majestic.

The Nine-Tails lowered its head and nuzzled Naruto's leg, causing the water to ripple gently around them, and Naruto smiled and touched its nose.

"Seriously," Naruto muttered, "What if we're put into different teams? How do you know we won't drift apart?"

The Kyuubi snorted disdainfully and stepped back, tapping Naruto's head lightly with its claws.

"First of all, you are as stubborn as a donkey. You will never give up anything or anyone you love, especially your friends. Don't forget what you have done for me."

Naruto said with a bitter face:

"That time was different..."

"Nothing is different!" Kyuubi interrupted him, "Secondly, you underestimated the scheming of that Uchiha kid. Although I don't like him very much, that kid is obviously planning to rely on you."

Naruto was confused:

"Sasuke him? What do you mean?"

"Don't play dumb, kid!" Kyuubi said, "That kid and that pink-haired girl have been planning this for weeks. I bet they'll try every possible means to get you in the same group."

After saying that, the Nine-Tails showed a meaningful smile, and Naruto was relieved and said with a smile:

"Thank you, you arrogant fox."

"Stop talking nonsense, you little brat!"

******

As the Nine-Tails said, Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura were assigned to the same class - Team 7.

When Sasuke heard the news, he was not surprised at all, he just raised the corner of his mouth proudly.

"I knew it was you who did it!" Naruto said angrily while setting a rubber band trap on the door.

Their new teacher was already over an hour late, luckily he didn't put a paint bucket on the door this morning, otherwise...

"What does this have to do with me? The grouping is obviously random." Sasuke pretended to be innocent, but Naruto could feel that this guy was very happy in his heart.

Sakura sat on the table, swinging her legs as she studied a map of the human meridians with great interest.

She recently finally persuaded the cold-faced doctor at Konoha Hospital to teach her medical ninjutsu, using the special coffee from the River Country. It is said that the doctor has no resistance to this coffee.

But seriously, that coffee smelled like asphalt, and Naruto couldn't understand why anyone would like to drink that stuff.

"Just pretend!" Naruto jumped off the table and said unhappily, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I just want to give you a surprise!" Sakura said without raising her head.

Naruto shook his head helplessly and said:

"Forget it. I don't want to know at all."

At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and a lazy voice came in:

"Oh, sorry, I'm late."

The three of them turned their heads at the same time and saw a tall man standing at the door. He was wearing a black mask that covered most of his face, leaving only one black eye exposed. He had messy silver hair and looked a little sloppy.

"It's you?" Sasuke's tone was full of surprise, and he obviously knew the person.

"It's me." The man smiled slightly and said gently, "My name is Hatake Kakashi, and I'm your instructor. From today on, we are Team 7."
