Pirates: Beginning with the Patrolman.

"Hey! Remus, everyone is so happy, why don't you say anything?"

Sakura asked with a puffy face.

While everyone was cheering, this guy was still eating. If you didn't know, you would think he had been hungry for several days.

But the three of us came here without having breakfast, but this guy had already had breakfast.

"Well?"

Remos raised his head and looked at Sakura blankly.

He swallowed the last bite of food hard.

"What? Isn't it normal to pass the test?"

"What? You were about to be eliminated just now, and you yourself said that you would work hard to pass the assessment this afternoon!"

Naruto yelled.

Although Sasuke didn't say anything, he looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Oh, that's it. I said that on purpose to deceive you."

Remos wiped his mouth and threw the lunch box aside.

"Lie to us?"

Sakura's eyes widened, not quite believing Remos's expression.

"We performed so well, even if Kakashi-sensei is an idiot he can't let us be eliminated."

"Hey, hey, hey, Remus-san, I can't pretend I didn't hear you when you said that to me."

Kakashi's face darkened.

"I don't understand. What do you mean?"

Sasuke finally spoke.

"Yes, that's what I mean."

Remos nodded, "The strength of us is among the best in the whole school. Of course, Sakura is not as good as her, but Sasuke, you are the best in the class..."

"You don't have to compliment me."

Sasuke's face darkened as well.

"Although Naruto has always been at the bottom of the class, that's only his academic performance. He has always been good at practical combat."

"hey-hey."

Naruto scratched his head with a grin.

"If we can't pass the assessment even with me, I can't imagine what will happen to other teams. Among all the teams in the class, there are definitely no more than three teams that can surpass our team in terms of coordination. If we consider comprehensive strength, we are definitely first.

If they can be eliminated like this, then unless the Third Hokage and Kakashi-sensei want all the students in this class to go back and retake the course, that is absolutely impossible."

This is the most basic logic. Just looking at their strength, it is certain that they will not be eliminated.

"It's also possible that Kakashi-sensei has high standards..."

"That doesn't make sense. It doesn't make sense that the strong team would be eliminated while the weak team would pass. This isn't a one-on-one match. The village wants ninjas who can perform their missions, not a bunch of trash... Oh, sorry, I shouldn't say that, but that's roughly what I meant.

In short, all of this is just a test. Kakashi needs to see our cooperation and mutual assistance. Strength is secondary."

Remos ruthlessly exposed Kakashi's "lies".

Sasuke and the other two looked at Kakashi.

Kakashi sighed.

"First of all, you should call me Kakashi-sensei, Remos, because I will be responsible for your training issues for a long time to come."

Then he looked at the other three.

"He's not entirely right. This assessment does look at your teamwork, and you did a great job. But the prerequisite is that you do a good job. Otherwise, I might really beat you back."

"Then just now..."

"Xiaoying's performance today was indeed not very good. This may become a point of internal conflict between you. I just took advantage of this point. If you really blame her, then I will give you more tests until you can realize the preciousness of every companion."

"So, we have actually passed the test? Is Remus right?"

Sakura demanded.

"..."

Kakashi opened his mouth but said nothing.

But silence is the answer.

"Suddenly I feel less excited."

Sakura crossed her arms and said with a weird look on her face.

Sasuke lowered his head and began to eat in silence.

Naruto scratched his head.

"Haha, I do feel that way, but who cares? As long as we pass, it's good. In other words, from now on, we are official ninjas!"

Naruto looked at Kakashi.

Kakashi nodded helplessly.

It was a good assessment, but in the end, Remos exposed the truth with just a few words. Although the result did not affect anything, everyone's mood was completely different from before.

"Oh, great, I'm a ninja, I can carry out missions!"

Naruto is a rough-natured optimist. He doesn't care about so many things. As long as he is sure to become a ninja, he will be happy.

As for the others, Sasuke and Sakura were of course very happy, and Remos was very calm, as if he knew from the beginning that he would definitely pass.

The assessment was over and everyone dispersed, but Kakashi left Remos alone.

"What you said before was very problematic. You shouldn't have said that."

"Anyway, they've already decided to let us through, right? And even if I don't say anything, Sasuke and Sakura will figure it out on their own. Only Naruto, that idiot, won't think so much."

Remus said in a calm tone.

"It seems that you are really confident, Remus. Aren't you really afraid that I will ask you to go back and take the course again?"

Kakashi looked at him curiously.

"You won't do that. The Third Generation inserted me into your team alone, turning the original four-person team into a five-person team. This proves that the Third Generation thinks highly of both you and me. In this case, if I am sent back to train again, wouldn't the Third Generation's plan fail completely?"

"But I am a Jonin, you should understand that I am qualified to make this decision."

"I think I've done very well. In the whole class, and even in the whole school, I don't believe that there are many people who can perform better than me and this team. If even we fail, what will the others do?"

Remus asked back, his tone full of confidence.

Are you kidding? He is a genius who can learn two ninjutsu in a week and simplify hand seals at the same time. In this regard, I am afraid that even Kakashi may not be able to surpass him.

It's already too much for the third generation of this genius not to be taught personally, and now he's asking him to go back and study again for a year?

"And I don't mind even if I have to retake it. I hope to learn more ninjutsu. Of course it would be great to have a strong captain. If not, I can apply directly to the Third Hokage. I believe he will meet my needs."

"..."

Kakashi was silent more times today than he usually is in a month.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew that Remos was right.

Regarding Remos' excellence, the third generation had told him in person, and today he had verified it himself. Even when he was his age, he could not reach Remos' level.

"Anyway, don't be so direct in the future. Give others some room to get excited."

He patted Remos' shoulder and said with a wry smile.
