Chapter 52 Class 5 Assembles
Blonde hair?
Uchiha Ike tilted his head.
If we're talking about who else in Konoha has blonde hair, besides Ino who wasn't even born yet, Uchiha Ike can only think of the golden-haired fat sheep.
But why is Tsunade tracking her?
A hint of curiosity flashed in Uchiha Ike's eyes, but he did not continue to investigate.
The meeting point is at 3 PM, and he doesn't have much time left.
"Oh well, I'm going to be late..."
Anyway, Tsunade was mentally attacked by him a few days ago, so she definitely doesn't have any ill intentions towards him now. This matter isn't particularly important, so we can put it aside for now.
Thinking this, Uchiha Ike withdrew his gaze and turned to continue on his way.
The forest outside Konoha.
Wandering through the dense forest, Uchiha Ike slowly made his way to the agreed meeting point.
About ten minutes later, following the directions on the note, he arrived at a grassy area.
"This should be the place...?"
The conversation abruptly stopped. Uchiha Ike put down the note and smiled as he met the gaze of the expressionless white-haired masked man.
"Oh, what a coincidence, Kakashi."
"..."
Kakashi didn't say anything.
He's feeling a bit down right now.
Honestly, Kakashi would rather have teammates who drag him down than be on a team with an oddball like Uchiha Ike.
After all, it didn't matter to him if he was a burden. He had already gotten used to completing missions on his own when the first two teams were on missions.
However, it's more difficult to control someone like Uchiha Ike, who has such eccentric ideas.
Who knows if he might suddenly say, "Hey, I have a new idea," during a mission?
The impact on your own actions at that time will be far more serious than holding others back.
"No, he must have mistaken the assembly point."
Kakashi began to pray silently in his heart.
Maybe Uchiha Ike belongs to another team and just went to the wrong place and ended up at Team 5's assembly point...
Uchiha Ike chuckled and held up the note in his hand: "You're also in Team 5?"
"......Um."
With his last glimmer of hope extinguished, Kakashi responded stiffly.
The worst has still happened.
Uchiha Ike really did become his teammate.
Uchiha Ike nodded, seemingly completely oblivious to Kakashi's impatience:
"I didn't expect Kakashi to be late this time."
Kakashi has always been a master of being late; even during his last duel with Might Guy at Naka no Kagawa, he was five minutes late.
Surprisingly, he was actually quite looking forward to his teammates.
As he spoke, Uchiha Ike began to look Kakashi up and down with great interest.
This includes, but is not limited to, Kakashi's right hand, which was fractured by a punch he delivered.
He still has a cast on and doesn't seem to be fully recovered.
And the part of Kakashi that bore the brunt of his Thousand-Year Knee...
Bathed in the wandering gaze of Uchiha Ike.
Kakashi's face gradually turned pale.
Even someone with facial paralysis would find it difficult to remain calm when faced with someone who almost caused them to lose their ability to have children.
But the thought that the other person would be my teammate for the next few years came to mind.
Kakashi could only nod coldly, "Mm."
—But as soon as he nodded, Kakashi regretted it.
He suddenly realized that he would be in a team with this guy for the next few years.
This means that there will be much more uncertainty in future actions.
Furthermore, while on a mission, he must constantly be on guard against being kicked from behind.
Kakashi took a deep breath and for the first time felt the urge to turn around and leave.
He'd rather be on the same team as Might Guy!
However, Uchiha Ike, standing opposite him, didn't pay much attention to Kakashi's changing expression.
After all, for him, the "perpetrator," it was simply a matter of inspiration that led him to kick someone.
What he cared more about was who his mentor was.
Where is the teacher?
Uchiha Ike looked around but didn't see a third person in the open space.
"I don't know." Kakashi shook his head coldly. "When I got here, there wasn't a single person there."
"I guess we're late now..." Uchiha Ike couldn't help but complain.
He even quickened his pace so as not to be late.
As a result, only he and Kakashi arrived on time; the last teammate and the instructor were all late.
This team's future looks bleak.
"That should be true."
Kakashi was speechless, and the corners of his mouth behind the mask turned down.
Just as they were beginning to worry about the team's future.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the direction the two had come from.
That was the sound of a ninja rubbing leaves as he moved at top speed, and the footsteps of the approaching person were also very hurried.
Uchiha Ike turned around and looked at the same direction as Kakashi.
In the dense, lush green forest, a young girl emerged from the middle, looking around. When she saw someone in the clearing behind the forest, her ruby-like eyes lit up.
She stood up and walked to the two of them, still clutching the note in her hand, and asked with shallow, rapid breathing:
"Class 5?"
Because she had run so fast, her delicate cheeks were flushed, a layer of fine sweat covered her fair forehead, slightly dampening the ends of her hair between her brows, and a few fresh leaves clung to her naturally curly long hair.
"Yes." Kakashi nodded, confirming, "Team 5."
Kurenai breathed a sigh of relief upon receiving a reply, wiping the sweat from her brow with the back of her hand, her voice regaining its usual composure: "Looks like I'm not late..."
Uchiha Ike glanced at Yuhi Kurenai with a smile, but said nothing.
Kakashi's deadpan eyes twitched slightly, and he calmly said, "I'm late."
"..." Kurenai Yuhi, who had just regained her composure for less than three seconds, froze as she wiped the sweat from her brow.
She pursed her rosy lower lip, closed her slightly heroic eyes, and regulated her breathing, which was a little disordered from rushing.
Half a minute later, she opened her eyes and finally had the chance to take a good look at her two teammates.
"Kakashi?"
Kurenai Yuhi was slightly taken aback, only then realizing that the person who had just spoken to her was Kakashi.
No wonder it's so pungent...
Kakashi didn't say anything, but nodded to her.
Kakashi's mood improved considerably, seemingly because his other teammate wasn't an oddball but a normal person.
"...Please take care of me." Kurenai nodded in agreement, but a hint of worry flashed in her deep red eyes.
As the son of Konoha's White Fang and the youngest Chunin in history, Kakashi is undoubtedly a genius, and his abilities are beyond doubt.
but...
To demonstrate his maturity, Sarutobi Asuma often revealed previously undisclosed information to her.
Therefore, Kurenai Yuhi knew that Kakashi had joined a ninja team after graduating early.
Although the reason is unknown, the other party has left the team twice in a row.
In other words, this is Kakashi's third team already...
"Are you here to disband this squad?" Kurenai Yuhi thought to herself.
She forced herself to look away, maintaining a calm expression, but a hint of anxiety crept into her eyes as she thought about the team's future.
She sighed silently and subconsciously shifted her gaze to another teammate.
A messy ramen noodle hairstyle and a delicate face came into view.
Kurenai couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Uchiha Ike?"
"Hello there."
Uchiha Ike nodded with a faint smile.
Please take care of me in the future.
