Chapter 10 The Third Generation's Thoughts, Goodbye Rin Nohara
"Click..."
At the Konoha Photo Studio, with the sound of a camera clicking, a freshly taken group photo of Class 7 appeared before Ishikawa's eyes.
The cameras here are similar to instant cameras, which produce photos instantly but are more vibrant and realistic!
"Well, that's enough for today. Meet outside the Hokage Building at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. I'm going to take you to see the Hokage and familiarize you with the mission procedures." After distributing the photos to the three of them, Kakashi left after saying this.
The three Ishikawas didn't say anything, but looked at the photos with great interest and joy!
[With this, I believe I can get closer to Nohara Rin again tonight.] Looking at Kakashi in the photo, Ishikawa felt reassured and straightened his back. "Boss, get me a frame to display the photo."
"Me too!" "And me too..."
Upon seeing this, the two younger brothers immediately responded loudly, saying that this was a very memorable photo and must be preserved!
Upon seeing this, the photo studio owner, with his balding head, rubbed his hands together and greeted them with a smile, "One frame costs one hundred taels, but three people can get a discount of three hundred taels."
"What? A hundred taels for a broken picture frame? Boss, are you ripping me off?!" Instantly, the excited Heijiro's eyes widened and he blurted out.
Even Ishikawa Kazutaro next to him had a similar expression!
Keep in mind that the three of them only received a monthly living allowance of three hundred taels of silver. If they hadn't been frugal and worked odd jobs, they wouldn't have survived until graduation.
After all, training also requires money. Whether it's ninja tools or anything else, it all requires financial support.
This is another practical reason why the three of them are eager to graduate!
Even a hero can be brought down by a penny. As war orphans, their only way to survive was to graduate as soon as possible and receive mission rewards to improve their lives.
Being a ninja, even a low-ranking ninja, can be very lucrative!
"Forget it, let's go back and make one ourselves." Without hesitation, Ishikawa shook his head and turned to leave with his two underlings.
To be honest, they could afford a hundred taels, but using it to buy a picture frame was just too much of a rip-off! Ten taels would be acceptable, but a hundred taels? Was he crazy, or had the world gone mad…?
It's just a few pieces of wood, you can make it anytime, why would it cost anything?
"Exactly! A hundred taels could buy several kunai and shuriken!"
"Yes, it's most worthwhile to spend the money on this. You can't carry out a mission without weapons."
The two younger brothers wholeheartedly agreed and followed suit. The three, who came from humble backgrounds, understood the hardships of life and the need to be thrifty and manage their household well.
"Welcome to visit again..." The boss was not surprised and smiled as he saw the customer off. This was a business opportunity to take advantage of the ninja's happy graduation.
Selling just one is a huge profit! Not selling them doesn't result in any loss. Anyway, he had his wife make them at home, so the cost was practically zero.
As for them getting angry and giving me attitude when they don't buy? Impossible, absolutely impossible...
Who knows if these three will become Chunin or Jonin in the future? Let's try to maintain harmony and make money!
Meanwhile, in the Hokage's office.
"Did you pass? It seems you're quite satisfied with this group of students, Kakashi." Looking at the class list handed to him, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, immediately beamed with joy.
Finally, this guy has taken the first step out of the darkness!
As long as he has the bond of his apprentice, the connection between master and apprentice will influence Kakashi to re-examine himself and emerge from the shadows.
"Yo-ho! I didn't expect you to find a disciple you acknowledge, Kakashi. This is the passion of youth! No wonder you're my eternal rival. Kakashi, how about we have a competition to see whose disciple becomes a Chunin faster?" Beside him, Might Guy, who was also handing in his team list, had burning eyes.
At the same time, I felt a mix of anticipation and curiosity about the disciple Kakashi recognized. A student who could be recognized by the genius Kakashi must be no ordinary person!
That's great! This way, his lovely disciples will have rivals to compete with, which will surely inspire their fighting spirit and help them grow quickly.
This is the bond of youth we pass on to the next generation, Kakashi...
"Huh? Did you... say something just now??" Suddenly, just as Might Guy was getting excited, Kakashi slowly turned his head, looking blank.
"Ugh... It's happening again! Kakashi, you truly are my lifelong rival." Seeing Kakashi's innocent and lazy expression as he scratched his head, Might Guy broke down in tears once more.
"Ahem, well then, thank you both for your hard work! Team Kakashi and Team Guy are officially established." The Third Hokage coughed to cover his embarrassment, put away the forms, and saw the guests out.
Kakashi seemed unfazed by this, nodded to the Third Hokage, and turned to leave.
"Wait for me, Kakashi. How about we have a meal together with our students? Our bond should be passed down to the next generation..."
"No, Kai."
"That Guy is still as hot-blooded as ever." Hearing the two voices in the corridor, the Third Hokage lowered his Hokage hat, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Kakashi's students were just ordinary genin, while Guy's students included Hyuga Neji, who was known as the top student. Is there even a comparison?
"However, now there's a bit of a headache! Kakashi actually let this team pass, so what will happen to Sasuke and Naruto in the next round?" The Third Hokage's smile faded, and he looked out the window with a worried expression once again.
Admittedly, his idea was to have Kakashi lead the team out of the gloom as soon as possible! But all of this was to prepare for the next graduating class, so that Kakashi could have more mature experience and a more normal emotional state.
Naruto, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and Sasuke, who carries the last hope of the Uchiha clan, are both perfect mentors. No one in Konoha is more suitable to be their leader than Kakashi!
"Hmph... There's still a year until Naruto and Sasuke graduate. We can only take it one step at a time! If they don't become Chunin by then, with their talents, they'll have to be transferred to other departments..." The Third Hokage took a deep drag on his cigarette and muttered to himself as his gaze fell on the Team 7 files.
He couldn't let three ordinary genin jeopardize Konoha's future!
However, he wouldn't deliberately assign dangerous missions to the three of them to make room for Naruto and Sasuke. If Kakashi's team were to be wiped out on his first attempt, he would definitely refuse to lead the next batch of students.
This is not the way the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, would do things!
Night, at the edge of Konoha.
As midnight approached, under Ishikawa's tense watchful eye, his house suddenly began to mysteriously splice and extend, with items that did not belong to him appearing out of thin air and becoming real.
On the inner wall, the portal connecting the three world wars reappeared.
At the same time, Nohara Rin's petite and delicate figure also materialized...
"You've finally arrived!" Looking at the familiar, anxious girl, Ishikawa breathed a sigh of relief, his words carrying a double meaning.
As long as the transdimensional connection is confirmed every night, his cheat ability is practically guaranteed!
“Th-that is…” Almost the instant Ishikawa opened his mouth, Nohara Rin immediately noticed the Class 7 group photo in his hand.
Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Kakashi in the photo, her breathing rapid!
Why is young Kakashi covering one eye?
