Sasuke Uchiha was hospitalized on his first day of graduation.
This news spread like a hurricane through the streets and alleys of Konoha. The Uchiha clan grounds were in an uproar! This time, no clansmen laughed at him. Instead, they lavished him with praise! Because the Team 7 that Sasuke was on had actually sent their teacher to the hospital as well!
Three genin who had just graduated had taken their supervising Jonin to the hospital with them. This was simply incredible! Had such a thing ever happened in the entire history of Konoha?!
"Sasuke is amazing! This is a feat that even his older brother, Itachi, never accomplished!"
"That's hard to say. After all, Lord Itachi's teacher was Lord Jiraiya…"
"But this was Kakashi Hatake!"
The most critical part of this matter was that Sasuke's supervising Jonin was the famous Kakashi of the Sharingan!
This brought immense satisfaction to the Uchiha clan!
After visiting his son and checking on his injuries, Fugaku Uchiha's first thought was to proactively hold a clan meeting with the theme: The Fame of the Sharingan Will Always Belong to the Uchiha!
His son, who had always been a disappointment, had brought him great honor just after graduating. Who in the entire clan would dare to look down on his second son now!
This year, besides Kakashi, there were two other supervising Jonin, Asuma Sarutobi and Kurenai Yuhi. The two of them were well aware of Kakashi's strength. For a moment, when they looked at their own disciples, they couldn't help but feel they were a bit of a disappointment…
Then, for a moment, they felt a little fortunate.
This matter was actually a bit embarrassing.
Hokage's Office.
After Itachi Uchiha learned of the news from the ANBU report, his mind was in a bit of a daze for a moment. "How could something like this happen… That group of little ones from Team 7 actually beat their supervising Jonin into a serious injury?"
"Heh heh…"
Jiraiya glanced at his stunned disciple, his own thoughts unknown. It was nothing more than, Don't you have any self-awareness? Didn't you want to do the same thing back then?
Like brother, like brother…
Hiruzen Sarutobi gnawed on his empty pipe, his expression not looking too good. "If Kakashi's strength is unable to suppress his subordinates…"
"I'm a little worried that something will go wrong when they carry out missions in the future. Is it necessary for us to re-arrange another supervising Jonin for them?"
"There's no need for that."
Itachi Uchiha shook his head. "The supervising Jonin's job is not just to teach these little ones ninjutsu. The most important thing is to teach them some necessary knowledge of the ninja world."
"…Heh heh."
Hearing this, Jiraiya couldn't help but look at his disciple again. He suspected this kid was hinting at him again…
In reality, the ninjutsu or chakra nature transformations taught by a supervising Jonin were an important way for genin to improve their strength.
In contrast, that little bit of common knowledge about the ninja world—as long as one listened and learned more, any ninja who was willing to learn would master it.
"And Kakashi-senpai's strength can be said to be among the best of all the Jonin in the village…" Itachi Uchiha clasped his hands and said in a deep voice, "Even I, if I were caught off guard, might not be able to defeat him easily."
This sounded a bit like he was patting himself on the back…
However, Itachi Uchiha did have this confidence. The seventeen-year-old Hokage candidate was gradually approaching his peak in both mind and power. Coupled with some of the sage arts he had developed with Kitahara over the years, he dared to say he could hold his own against anyone.
According to Kitahara's words, Itachi's combat power was roughly equivalent to a high-spec version of Kakashi, which sounded a bit like an insult…
"Mm, Kakashi's experience is indeed a bit richer…"
Hiruzen Sarutobi let out a long sigh. "Facing a squad of elite Jonin, I believe he also has a certain confidence of achieving victory. But this time, facing three rookie genin, he was defeated…"
"In a battle between ninjas, who can say for sure they will win!"
Itachi Uchiha smiled and looked at the Head of the Medical Department, who was drinking during work hours. "Lady Tsunade, how are their injuries?"
"They are both out of danger."
Tsunade pursed her lips. "Sasuke's injuries were actually more severe, but after treatment, it's nothing serious. He'll be fully recovered in no time…"
"That's good."
Itachi rubbed his hands and put down his pen. "I'll go visit Kakashi and Sasuke at the hospital later!"
This kind of thing happening, no one wanted it.
But he did feel a little sorry for Kakashi. It was because of his request that Kakashi had been willing to become the supervising Jonin of Team 7, although part of the reason was also that Naruto Uzumaki had been assigned to Team 7.
"Then you'd better be quick…"
Tsunade frowned. "When I left the hospital, I saw Kitahara in Sasuke's hospital room. They seemed to be having a nice chat…"
If it weren't for that crow going to the hospital, why would she be willing to come to the Hokage's Tower!
CRASH!
CLATTER!
The desk was almost knocked to the ground!
A pair of pitch-black wings suddenly grew from Itachi's back, and he shot out the window, flying towards the Konoha Hospital!
Konoha Hospital, Room 207.
Because Karin had often fought with Sasuke over the years, and Shizune was a kind person, she felt quite guilty towards Sasuke and generally took good care of him.
The little brat sat as steady as Mount Tai, with the air of a great general. His mentality was actually quite strong. He had suffered so many blows before, and this time it was a glorious wound.
He had just chased away Kitahara. Since childhood, that crow had always been his defeated opponent. It would only come over to mock him when he was down…
"Sakura, how is Teacher Kakashi?"
Sasuke Uchiha glanced at his teammate who was peeling fruit by his bed and said softly, "It seems we won't be able to carry out missions for a short while…"
"I just heard from Shizune-senpai. Teacher Kakashi's injuries have improved, and he's out of danger…" Sakura thought of her own experience, her face turning bitter. "I wonder if Teacher Kakashi will hold a grudge against us!"
"He won't."
Sasuke smiled, his face pained. "My brother was once Teacher Kakashi's subordinate and has always trusted him. He shouldn't be that petty of a person…"
"That's hard to say."
A red-haired woman walked in, looked at Sasuke on the bed, and tossed him a chart. "Take your temperature later and fill out this form!"
"Karin, what are you doing here?"
Sakura Haruno looked up in surprise. "I'm sorry, I just didn't see you at the graduation and team assignment ceremony yesterday. I thought you…"
"I don't have time for those boring genin games."
Karin glanced at the two of them and crossed her arms. "Sorry, I'm not targeting you. My application for promotion to Chunin should be approved next week. You all do your best…"
Sasuke Uchiha: "…"
Sakura Haruno: "…"
This woman has just graduated, and she's already going to be promoted to Chunin by the Medical Corps?
What the hell is going on!
No matter how hard he tried, why did he always feel like he was one step behind this woman!
"Hmph!"
Sasuke snorted, stubbornly showing his attitude. "Just a medical ninja…"
"Oh? Shizune-shishou is also a medical ninja."
Karin looked at the little brat's face, which had turned the color of pig's liver, and flicked her red hair. "If it weren't for medical ninjas, perhaps you wouldn't even have had the chance to be born…"
"And I forgot to mention, I am not just a medical ninja…"
"After I'm promoted to Chunin, I will be transferred to Lord Itachi's direct guard unit."
Sasuke Uchiha: "…"
The more he listened, the angrier he got!
The more he looked at this woman, the more annoying she became!
