Chapter 325 Kakashi's Naruto Observation Diary
After receiving the mission from the Third Hokage, Kakashi was not in a hurry to meet Naruto.

He decided to secretly observe Naruto for a few days. Only after he had enough understanding of him could he prescribe the right medicine and train Naruto to become a great ninja.

The first stop to observe Naruto is the Ninja School.

After entering the Ninja School wearing a Jonin vest, Kakashi found his old classmate Iruka.

Iruka is Naruto's homeroom teacher. If there is anyone in the ninja world who knows Naruto best, it must be Iruka.

After waving his hand, Kakashi said to Iruka:
"Long time no see, Iruka. Your life is still as busy as before. Have you ever considered changing your job? It's too much trouble to take care of those little brats."

Hearing this, Iruka was stunned at first, he felt that the voice sounded familiar.

After looking up, Iruka saw Kakashi and quickly stood up and said, "It is indeed very hard and troublesome to take care of these little brats, but I am happy with it and I enjoy this feeling."

"After all, I'm not a genius like you. I can't become a jonin at such a young age. I'm already very satisfied to be able to stay in the ninja school and realize my value."

"Genius?" Kakashi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head gently: "What kind of genius am I? A truly genius ninja at my age already has the strength comparable to that of a Hokage. I'm just wasting my time."

The real genius that Kakashi mentioned is the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze and Byakuya of the Hidden Rain Village.

His words came from the bottom of his heart, but they sounded a bit Versailles to Iruka, who didn't know what to say.

In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, Iruka coughed and changed the subject: "Kakashi, you came to see me this time not just to visit me, right?"

Kakashi nodded: "I came here this time because I received a mission from the Hokage. He asked me to contact a student in your class."

The students in the class... Iruka fell into deep thought.

There are quite a few special students in his class, including the eldest daughter of the Hyuga clan, the heir of the Ino-Shika-Chou family, the orphan of the Uchiha clan, and the most special one, Uzumaki Naruto.

Kakashi didn't keep the secret any longer and said directly, "To be precise, the person I'm looking for is Naruto. You should be very clear about Naruto's identity. Although the higher-ups don't plan to let Naruto graduate early, special training for Naruto is about to begin."

Iruka nodded.

Of course he knew that Naruto had a special identity. The Hokage had told him this personally, asking him not to treat Naruto, the Jinchūriki, harshly because of the Nine-Tails Rebellion.

The village is currently at war with Iwagakure, so it is normal for the Hokage to want to train a jinchūriki.

After a pause, Kakashi continued, "Iruka, you are Naruto's homeroom teacher. You should know him very well. Tell me about him."

Iruka pondered for a long time, then said:
"Naruto is a good boy. Although he doesn't study hard in academic subjects, he ranks among the top three in physical education. Outside of the ninja school, Naruto has received a lot of praise for helping the villagers."

"As for Naruto, I hardly see any negative emotions. He is like a little sun, warming the people around him."

After listening to Iruka's comments about Naruto, Kakashi felt something was a little strange, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Minato was also so gentle and enthusiastic towards his companions back then. Since Naruto inherited Minato's bloodline, it is very normal for him to inherit Minato's sunny and cheerful personality.

After obtaining information from Iruka, Kakashi planned to leave.

He planned to ask more questions. Only by understanding from many aspects could he confirm what kind of child Naruto was.

Just as Kakashi was about to leave, Iruka rubbed his palms and said a little embarrassedly: "Kakashi, I need your help with something. Of course, I don't want you to help for free. How about I treat you to a meal at Ichiraku Ramen after get off work?"

Kakashi turned around and asked curiously, "What's going on?"

Iruka said quickly: "Mr. Mizuki next door has asked for leave recently. He is also the teacher in charge of practical teaching. I wonder if you can substitute for the class once and give those little guys some motivation."

Kakashi narrowed his eyes slightly. He understood Iruka's intention and said with a smile, "Of course I can substitute for you, but isn't it a bit too little to just go to Ichiraku Ramen? How about a second time?"

Iruka was stunned at first, then nodded.

Half an hour later, Kakashi was invited to the training ground as a guest.

Iruka brought two classes of students and first introduced Kakashi's identity as a jonin. Then he told them to cherish this hard-won opportunity, as there were not many opportunities for a jonin to teach personally.

Looking at this scene, Kakashi recalled his past experiences, smiled and shook his head.

When it was his turn to perform, Kakashi casually performed a great fireball technique, defeating the combined efforts of the Chunin teachers with overwhelming strength. The students in Iruka's class looked at him in shock.

As students of the ninja school, they were well aware of the level divisions among ninjas.

Ninjas in the ninja world are divided into five levels, namely, students who have not yet graduated from the ninja school, the Genin who have successfully graduated and have the ability to stand on their own, the Chuunin who can serve as a captain, and the Jonin who are one in a hundred.

And the Five Kage who stand at the top of the ninja world.

Although Kakashi is not one of the Five Kage, he is also a leader among ninjas.

When they met Kakashi, they knew that as a jonin, Kakashi must be stronger than their teachers, but they didn't expect Kakashi to defeat their teachers so easily.

Among the crowd, two students had strange looks in their eyes and stared at Kakashi intently.

One of them is Sasuke. He always feels that there is a familiar aura on Kakashi, and Kakashi's use of the Great Fireball Technique is the Uchiha's signature ninjutsu.

After seeing the Great Fireball Technique, he thought of his dead clansmen.

Half a year had passed since the night of the Uchiha clan's genocide, but Sasuke still often woke up in the middle of the night, thinking of that bloody night and the clan's lands where rivers of blood flowed.

If it weren't for that man, he would never be alone now.

Another person who pays attention to Kakashi is Naruto. After receiving instruction from Black Zetsu, Naruto is no longer the last one who can't even perform the Three Body Technique.

With outstanding talents, bloodline and the teachings from Black Zetsu.

Naruto mastered the skills of climbing trees and treading water very early. In addition to the Three Body Techniques, he also mastered a number of D-level and even C-level wind-style ninjutsu.

If Black Zetsu hadn't always taught him to hide his weaknesses, he would have applied for early graduation long ago.

However, unlike Sasuke, Naruto was more concerned about Kakashi's strength. He was confident that he could defeat Iruka and Mizuki, teachers of the Ninja School, but he did not have the confidence to defeat the ninja in front of him.
