It's been 24 years, why am I reincarnated in Konoha without a system?

Passed Chapter 9 assessment, becoming Naruto and Sasuke's senior brother.

"Kakashi-sensei..."

"We, we..."

Gazing at the eerie Kakashi streaking along with sparks and lightning, and the rapidly changing sky, the two underlings were once again terrified, speechless and at a loss for what to do.

"Wait, Kakashi-sensei!" Seeing that the crucial moment had arrived, Ishikawa swallowed hard and shouted calmly.

“We did break your rules, but you broke your own rules first to prevent Taro and Jiro from passing.”

"The so-called make-up exam might just be a joke to us!"

"If that's the case, why should we follow your ridiculous rules?"

"We've already made up our minds. We're all in this together, no matter what. Either it's unanimously approved, or we're all fired and go back to embarrass ourselves together..."

"Rules are rigid, but people are flexible. If we can't assess the situation and adapt accordingly, then what's the difference between us and the puppets you control!"

“A teacher is one who imparts knowledge, teaches skills, and resolves doubts! A rigid teacher like you who only follows the rules is not the kind of teacher we want at all…”

Seeing Kakashi's increasingly gloomy expression, Ishikawa decided to go all out and unleash his ultimate attack.

Anyway, now that he has Nohara Rin as a backup plan, it's not impossible for him to repeat a year!

At most, it's just that finding sources to learn ninjutsu might be difficult, which could cause some trouble.

"That's right, we'll stand with our elder brother through thick and thin."

"Sharing joys and sorrows, advancing and retreating together, never forgetting each other. Good brothers for life!"

Taro Yamada and Jiro Hei exchanged a glance and shouted at the same time, reciting their brotherly oath.

In an instant, Kakashi's brow relaxed, the dark clouds above his head dissipated, and the sun shone brightly...

We share joys and sorrows.

These simple eight words reveal the three men's determination and attitude. To be honest, Kakashi was genuinely moved.

However, the three of them were simply too weak! Only Ishikawa was passable; the other two...

[Well, am I being too strict? This is peacetime now, how can I hold them to the standards of the past? If it were Minato or Obito now, they would definitely pass.]

Suddenly, Kakashi exhaled a heavy breath, as if he had seen through something and felt relieved...

"You three, come with me." Suddenly, Kakashi casually threw out a kunai to cut the ropes binding Ishikawa and turned to walk towards the memorial stone.

His hand speed was so fast, like lightning, that the two underlings didn't even have time to react and were completely startled!

"Big brother, should we follow them?"

"What's this guy up to now??"

Tarojiro looked at Ishikawa, who had regained his freedom, and asked him anxiously whether he should follow him.

"Idiots, hurry up!" Ishikawa shouted at his two simple-minded underlings and quickly followed, feeling a pang of worry about their emotional intelligence!

With such an obvious attitude, even if he didn't know the plot, he would understand that this was the way things were going to go...

Otherwise, a Jonin wouldn't waste time talking to you; he would have already vanished in an instant.

Soon, Ishikawa and his two companions followed Kakashi to the memorial stone, and the atmosphere instantly turned somber...

As war orphans, the three of them certainly knew what it was! However, since their parents were commoners from Konoha, they had no right to leave their names on it.

"The names of many of my friends are engraved on this, and they were all once excellent Konoha ninjas. But the ninja world is just that cruel..."

"To be honest, I'm not sure if letting you pass was the right thing to do. Because I don't want to see my students' names on it!"

"However, you are all outstanding students with the Will of Fire, and I cannot deprive you of the opportunity to become ninjas."

"Now I'm putting this choice in your hands. If you want to back out, it's not too late!"

"An outstanding student??" Ishikawa rolled his eyes as he looked at Kakashi's retreating figure, his lips twitching.

This guy really knows how to talk; he's really boosted their emotional value to the max! But can the word "excellent" even be associated with these three extras?

Bullshit...

"Quitting is impossible. We can quit today, but what about next year? The year after? Are we supposed to cower in fear every time we face difficulties?"

"If one day our names are engraved on it, it will be for dying to protect Konoha!"

"Rather than drifting aimlessly through life in Konoha, I'd rather take the risk and become a ninja."

At this point, Ishikawa glanced at his two excited underlings and chuckled, "Who knows, maybe I'm a hidden genius too! In the future, I'll be like those heroes of Konoha, my name resounding throughout the ninja world as Mitarashi Ishikawa..."

"That's right, that's right, we agreed to stand together through thick and thin, didn't we?"

"Me too! Maybe I'll even surpass Kakashi-sensei in genius, hahaha..."

The two younger brothers' banter instantly lightened the atmosphere.

"Have you made up your mind..." Turning back, Kakashi's gaze finally settled on Ishikawa. "Indeed, in the ninja world, those who break the rules and regulations are usually called trash."

"But those who don't cherish their comrades are even more useless. Since we're all useless anyway, why not choose to be a useless person who cherishes their comrades!"

"The three of you, teamwork is the real key to the bell assessment. I'm not the rigid teacher you think I am; on the contrary, I'm really looking forward to your performance!"

Seeing the three becoming increasingly excited, Kakashi suddenly raised his hand and gave a thumbs up, "Then, from this moment on, Team 7, Team Kakashi, is officially formed."

"Great!"

"I knew we would graduate."

Tarojiro shouted with joy and burst into tears, while Ishikawa himself beamed with delight!

Finally, I've taken the first step to change my destiny...

"Well, since it's still early, let's go to the photo studio and take a team photo. Then I'll report to the Hokage, and we'll officially begin our mission tomorrow."

"Yes, Kakashi-sensei." The three of them nodded vigorously, beaming with joy!

"Big brother, what kind of ninjutsu was that when you were walking on the tree? It looked really powerful!"

"Yes, I never expected that you, brother, had such a powerful hidden skill. This is the first time I've ever seen it."

During the journey, the two younger brothers, remembering their previous tree-climbing experience in Ishikawa, immediately began to ask questions in hushed tones.

Ishikawa glanced at Kakashi, who stood calmly in front of him, coughed lightly, and lowered his voice, "I discovered this by chance when I saw the Chunin instructor, and it took me a week to learn it just last night. If you want to learn, I can teach you..."

"Really?"

"Thank you, brother..."

The two underlings were once again moved to express their gratitude, while Kakashi in front of them had a slight smile on his lips.

Can you learn to climb a tree on your own in a week? Good observation skills and chakra control.

It seems this kid's talent isn't too bad! He might actually become an excellent ninja...
