Creating Game In Naruto World

"You have no right to stop us from graduating!"

Sasuke was never one to tolerate things quietly.

Although he usually appeared calm, his track record spoke otherwise...

Learning Chidori and immediately rushing to fight Itachi, unlocking the Three Tomoe Sharingan and challenging a Mangekyo user, and during the war, picking a fight with Madara of all people, even taunting him as an 'old relic of the past' that he, Uchiha Sasuke, could easily handle...

Sasuke, who only played in the big leagues, was truly explosive by Naruto World's standards!

Now, with Kakashi outright saying they wouldn't graduate, Sasuke's temper flared. How could he possibly tolerate this?

…

Facing Sasuke's challenge, Kakashi thought of the Uchiha he had interacted with in his youth.

Aside from the humble Itachi and the carefree Obito... the rest of the Uchiha seemed a lot like the last Uchiha standing before him.

"What a troublesome clan. If only everyone could be like you..."

It wasn't clear who Kakashi was talking to, but the other two also couldn't hold back their protests.

Seeing this, Kakashi knew his plan to redirect the tension had worked, so he calmly reassured them, "Since you're all so persistent... I'll give you a chance."

"Tomorrow morning at 5 a.m., meet at the Training Ground 3. Remember to bring your ninja tools. I'll test whether you're worthy of becoming a Ninja. "

Sasuke and Sakura breathed a sigh of relief, but Naruto was still shouting, "What? I finally passed the Academy's exams! Why do we still need a test?"

"The Academy's exam only determines only determine if you can become Ninja, not if you're fit to be my students. That's final."

Naruto wanted to argue further, but Sakura pulled him back.

"Stop it, Naruto, or we'll really miss our chance to become Ninja this year..."

"Damn it…"

Seeing that the three of them had stopped protesting, Kakashi nodded in satisfaction. "Good. Now, since it's still early, let's move on to some casual conversation."

'Still early?'

The three of them sweatdropped, 'It was already evening… normally, we would have been dismissed by now.'

However, thanks to the authority Kakashi had just established, Team 7 was now more willing to follow his instructions.

"Alright, let's go around and introduce yourselves. Talk about what you like, what you dislike, and your dreams or something...."

After saying this, Kakashi casually pulled out his phone and started playing the game, his attention completely diverted from the three of them.

Seeing Kakashi staring intently at the small square, Naruto shouted, "Shouldn't you introduce yourself first, sensei?"

Kakashi sighed and turned off his phone. "Me? Well... there's nothing I particularly dislike. As for what I like... I'd rather not say."

"As for my dreams... I'll keep those to myself too. "

"Huh? How can you answer like that? We don't even know your name!"

Kakashi ignored Naruto's complaint and said, "Alright, your turn."

"My name is Uzumaki Naruto, and I love ramen..."

"What I hate is waiting for ramen to cook..."

"And my dream is to surpass all the previous Hokage and become the strongest Hokage!"

Naruto rambled on, but to Kakashi, it all boiled down to 'paint-throwing, Clone Jutsu, and... ahem, a certain special Transformation Technique.'

When it was Sakura's turn to introduce herself, Kakashi's mind flashed to explosive kunai and... an inner personality?

After two days of playing in the Arena, Kakashi had already racked up over 200 wins for the week.

The game currently only had four playable characters, so Kakashi had encountered Academy Naruto and Academy Sakura in almost every match. By now, he probably knew their skills better than they did themselves.

Next up was Sasuke's introduction.

Sasuke maintained his cool posture, with his hands folded in front of him, and said in a cold tone, "There are many things I hate, but not much that I like. As for my dream, it's not something I'll just talk about."

"I have ambitions. I want to restore my clan, and I will definitely kill that man with my own hands."

Naruto looked horrified, thinking, 'Is he talking about me?

Meanwhile, Sakura was swooning, 'Sasuke-kun is so cool!'

As someone who knew some of the backstory, Kakashi was well aware of who Sasuke was referring to as 'that man,' so Sasuke's answer didn't surprise him at all.

"Hmm, you three are quite unique. Alright then... remember to meet at the Training Ground 3 tomorrow morning at 8 a.m."

"Got it!"

"Yes…"

"Eh? Didn't you say 5 a.m. earlier?"

"Morning, Manager..."

Looking at Kakashi's lazy, dead-fish-eyed expression, Yuto, who had been busy all day, did not know whether to laugh or cry.

"What's wrong? Weren't you supposed to be leading your students?"

Kakashi sighed, looking utterly defeated. "Yeah, but it's so boring. All three of those kids are problem children."

Yuto chuckled and said, "Doesn't that remind you of when you were a kid? A carefree guy, a brooding guy, and a girl who mediates team conflicts..."

Kakashi thought about it for a moment and realized it actually matched up perfectly.

At this point, he didn't bother questioning how Yuto knew about his childhood.

After all, this was someone who could grant abilities and seemingly predict the future.

Though, this 'mysterious being' was surprisingly down-to-earth and approachable, which made Kakashi feel comfortable. People like that, who didn't put pressure on others, were always easy to get along.

Kakashi sighed and said, "Sigh, I'm starting to understand Minato-sensei more and more."

After this moment of reflection, he suddenly changed the subject. "By the way, Manager, why haven't you added Uchiha Sasuke to the game? And when will the next volume be available?"

Hearing this, Yuto's mouth twitched, 'Ugh... I'm too lazy to design Academy Sasuke, and the Land of Waves volume is still in development.'

'But now, before I could even finish the combat power progression system, Kakashi was already here, pressuring me for updates...'

Yuto brushed it off with a casual excuse and looked up at the sky, which had already turned dark.

He couldn't help but think of Motou Village's monthly revenue in his previous life… 'Combat power progression was a huge part of it!'

'But by the time I finished designing it... who knew how long it would take.'

At this time yesterday, Kakashi had already left.

Perhaps because their personalities clicked, they now felt like good friends.

Kakashi looked at his win streak and sighed in boredom.

"That strong opponent I faced yesterday... that was you, wasn't it, Manager?"

Although he was exposed by Kakashi, Yuto didn't feel embarrassed at all. "Aren't you tired of playing against AI? You can invite your friends to play. Then you can have real matches."

Kakashi nodded solemnly, "See you tomorrow, Manager."
