Chapter 20 : Team Test Report (Rewrite)
Konohagakure No Sato.
Hokage Office.
It was a busy day in Konoha as all the Jonin Sensei made their way to the Hokage's office to report on whether their teams had passed the Exam or not. The exam was a crucial step for the young genin to prove their abilities and advance in rank, so the tension in the air was palpable.
Kurenai Yuhi, the elegant yet fierce Sensei of Team 8. She entered the room, Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame, and Hinata Hyuga, were her students. "Hokage-sama," Kurenai bowed respectfully, "I'm happy to say that my team has passed the exam."
"Shino Aburame is just like his clan. He is very calculative and sharp. He remained calm throughout the test and worked with his team well. The only problem was that he was not leader material. He lacks the charisma to do so.
Kiba is loud and needs a lot more work to tone down his voice. He also is arrogant but at the same time, he is loyal just like all the Inusuka people. His performance was adequate but needs refining.
Hinata Hyuga is good with her Bayakugan but is timid and needs to be more confident to become a strong kunoichi.
Overall, I pass my team and will let team 8 official from now on.
Kakashi, the skilled Sensei of Team 7, arrived soon after, his book still in his hand. Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno were his students. "Hokage-sama," Kakashi greeted, "I'm glad to say that my team has passed the exam as well."
"Sakura Haruno is a fangirl and besides her academy test result and her quick thinking, she lacks all the core expectations to become a kunoichi. But at the same time, she is also very good at chakra control and could become a good kunoichi, especially in the Medic department in the future."
"Naruto is strong but lacks basic shinobi instincts and also needs a lot of work on his basic. Had a lot of chakras to burn and also is very clever when he needs to be" Said Kakashi.
"Sasuke Uchiha is on the other hand a troublesome guy. He did not cooperate with his team and fought me alone. Of course, he loses but he is stronger than any Genin I have seen. I don't know how the guy did not get the Rookie of the Year award and how that other kid Kirito was able to defeat him."
"Overall, one is an idiot, another one is a fangirl and the last one is an avenger with a bad temper. I would have not passed the team but in the end, they somehow worked together and according to the orders I had to pass the team" Said Kakashi with a sigh.
The city council was putting pressure on the Hokage to pass Sasuke. The reason was simple. They wanted to get their daughters to marry Sasuke the last loyal Uchiha and wanted to gain clan status in the village.
Even Hokage was having problems with this issue. Hiruzen could have done something about it but currently, he gets all of his political power because of a few clans with are loyal to him and the civil council. It was because of them that he was able to stay in power and thus he couldn't directly go against them.
Asuma was the last one to come. He was the team sensei of Team 10. Shikamaru Nara, Kirito Uzumaki and Ino Yamanaka were his current team. "Hokage-sama," Asuma greeted the Sandaime Hokage, "I'm pleased to report that my team has passed the exam with flying colours."
Even after Asuma's late arrival, Hiruzen did not say anything to him. Hiruzen was most interested in the current team 10 and their test result. After all, Kirito was in there, who suddenly showed incredible talent which he was hiding in the academy and became the rookie of the year. Not to mention, he too is a Jinchuriki of the Village.
He was the reason why Hiruzen had to change the current team placement and let Asuma have Kirito Uzumaki in his team rather than Choji.
He had to put Kirito in Ino's team because he wanted Kirito to make more bonds with the village and currently Ino had a crush on Kirito and even Kirito is good friends with the Yamanaka girl.
He is just as dense as his father. Hiruzen remembers how dense Minato was when dealing with Kushina and her feelings.
"Ino is strong but at the same time is a Kirito fangirl. That is holding her back not to mention that she needs a lot of physical training and Taijutsu practice to get any good at hand-to-hand fighting. Right now she is not good in close combat fighting but the girl is pretty good at her clan mind control and taking over Jutsu. She was able to take over me with the help of her team." Asuma Continue.
"Shikamaru is lazy but is very smart just like any Nara man. He is a good strategist and came up with a good working plan for his team very soon. The only problem in him is that he lacks charisma and is lazy as hell."
"Finally, Kirito Uzumaki. He is the best among all the rookies Genin. He was able to come up with a good strategy with Shikamaru. At the same time, he was also able to gather his team and make them work together. Both Ino and Shikamaru listen to him and he also has the Charisma and ability to be the leader in the future.
He is very strong and fast. His fighting style depends more on speed but the power behind his strikes was not bad at all. Able to use Shadow Clones Jutsu and was prepared enough to get more information on myself. I will say that he is already at Chunin level and the only thing he is lacking is experience."
Everyone was surprised at this. The fact that they did not know that Asuma did not tell them how alike Kirito is to Minato.
Hiruzen also was not expecting this. He started thinking in other directions but stopped himself and focused more on the current situation.
Hiruzen listened to each of Sensei's reports with a sense of pride and relief. With all three of his top Jonin Sensei reporting success, he knew that the future of Konoha was in good hands.
As the Sensei and their students left the Hokage's office, Hiruzen felt a sense of accomplishment and at the same time a hint of cunningness.
