Konoha Task Maniac

Chapter 44: Kakashi’s choice

For Kakashi, the ninja, Sarutobi Hiruzen actually had plans.

The reason why Kakashi was asked to leave the village for a long-term mission this time was because he did not want to arrange for him to graduate from this class.

Although the graduates assigned to Kakashi are kicked back to ninja school by him every year.

But what if this year is different?

What if he gets a headache and lets the student pass his test?

Kakashi has become a teacher for other students, so who is qualified to be a teacher for Sasuke and Naruto?

In order to achieve this goal, Sarutobi Hiruzen selected a task out of thousands for him to do.

That way, it won't be out of the ordinary not to assign him a graduate this year.

After all, you went out of the village to do a mission. If the graduates can't be assigned to your place, you can't blame me.

Unexpectedly, Kakashi asked to take the initiative to be the leader of this class of students.

It was a complete rip-off.

If they agree, what will Naruto and Sasuke do?

Uchiha Sasuke, a clansman of Kakashi's teammate Uchiha Obito.

Uzumaki Naruto, the son of Kakashi's teacher Namikaze Minato.

There was no ninja in Konoha who was more qualified to be their leader than Kakashi.

Therefore, even if Kakashi was dissatisfied, Sarutobi Hiruzen would not agree to his request.

Even if there is a guy named Nohara Kongming among this class of graduates.

Of course, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had been Hokage for so many years, would not refuse directly. Instead, he chose to raise a question and let Kakashi make his own choice.

"You only paid attention to this guy named Nohara Kongming, but have you noticed that among the fifth graders, there is a person named Uzumaki Naruto?"

"Naruto Uzumaki...surnamed Uzumaki? Could it be..."

"That's right, this child follows his mother's surname. His mother is your master, Uzumaki Kuyuna, and his parents are your teacher, Minato Namikaze."

"..."

At this time, Kakashi no longer knew what expression he should use to respond.

Fortunately, he was wearing a mask, and most people didn't know what kind of expression he had under the mask.

A mask can cover a person's face, but it cannot cover up a person's aura.

Before Kakashi heard the news, his aura was extremely firm, and he had the determination to be the teacher led by Nohara Koumei even if the Third Hokage refused.

And now?

After hearing the news about Uzumaki Naruto, his aura changed from extremely determined to panicked and overwhelmed.

That's right, Kakashi, who had always been shrewd and calm, was already confused.

On one side is the brother of his teammate who died in his own hands.

On one side is the teacher's orphan.

How does this make him choose?

While he was extremely panicked, he was also secretly cursing himself.

Just because of his "decadent" and "lazy" attitude towards life that was indifferent to everything, he missed out on countless things.

Even important things like Nohara Lin's brother and teacher's son were heard from other people's mouths.

[Obito was not saved, Lin also died in my hands, and now she is faced with a dilemma...]

[As expected, I’m just a loser who can’t do anything well. 】

Seeing that Kakashi became decadent again, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who knew countless people, immediately felt something was wrong.

If Kakashi is trapped in this dilemma, he might return to the state he was in when his father died and two teammates died.

What he wants is a smart and capable Kakashi, not a decadent waste.

Find something for him to do quickly to distract him.

Fortunately, there was something for Kakashi to do right in front of him.

"Kakashi, this mission is urgent and dangerous. You must be fully prepared."

Kakashi hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and replied: "Yes, Hokage-sama."

Accepting the task meant that he gave up the opportunity to be Kong Ming's teacher.

Between his teammate's brother and his teacher's son, he ultimately chose the latter.

Facing Kakashi's choice, Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a smile.

No matter how many factors he, the Hokage, played in this matter, Kakashi made the right choice.

"Hokage-sama, I want to meet Nohara Kongming."

"If you want to see me, go see me. What does it have to do with me?"

"Thank you, Hokage-sama."

"Don't forget your mission."

"Please rest assured, Hokage-sama, I will definitely complete the mission."

......

While Kakashi was talking to the Third Hokage, the ninja school lap test had also ended.

The qualified candidates left the school happily, waiting for tomorrow's class placement.

Candidates who were judged to have failed also left the school, but their mood was not so good.

Of course, Xiao Li and Kong Ming passed the exam without any suspense.

Even Yuiyi completed the lap in the final seconds.

"The exam is over, what are you going to do now?"

It was still early and it was a rare day off. Kong Ming neither wanted to train nor do tasks. He just wanted to play with his two friends.

It's a pity that he doesn't want to train, but others still want to.

"Kong Ming, I want to continue training at the training ground and strive to break through to the point where I can handle the twelfth ball as soon as possible."

When it comes to training, Xiao Li maintains a high mood as always. Even though he has been playing for ten months, he still does not feel bored at all.

Because this training can really make Xiao Li feel that he is getting stronger.

Now he can handle eleven small-ball attacks at the same time.

Furthermore, his reaction speed, attack speed and accuracy far exceed those of his contemporaries in the original work.

Let's put it this way, it doesn't take any effort for him to defeat ten of his contemporaries in the original work.

In terms of taijutsu, Kong Ming estimated that Xiao Li had already reached the level of an elite genin.

As long as he is given some Taijutsu moves or attack routines, his Taijutsu strength will immediately break through to Chunin level.

"Xiao Li is going to train. Where are you, Yui?"

"Me? I'm going to Konoha Hospital."

"Where are you going and what are you doing?"

Yui smiled sheepishly and said: "My parents have delayed the relationship so that I can go to Konoha Hospital to learn some medical care knowledge in my free time."

"Is that so..."

One is going to do taijutsu training, and the other is going to Konoha Hospital to learn medical knowledge.

Both of them were on business, and Kong Ming was too embarrassed to delay others.

"Then see you tomorrow when the classes are divided."

"Well, see you tomorrow."

"Kong Ming, see you tomorrow."

......

After parting ways with his two friends, Kong Ming had nothing to do, so he simply went home.

On the way home, he was thinking about tomorrow's class division, and couldn't help but look forward to his other two teammates.

In the original book of Naruto, each class, also known as a ninja team, is composed of a ninja who is at least a chuunin as the leader teacher, and is accompanied by three genin.

Among the three genin, two are male and one is female.

It didn't matter to Kong Ming whether he was a boy or a girl. He just wanted to know which two classmates would become his teammates.
