Kakashi couldn't get the image of Sasuke's lightning burst out of his mind. The speed at which it moved was terrifying, even for a Jōnin known for his own speed. Kakashi realized that he might not be able to react in time to such an attack. He acknowledged the power of the technique, although he wasn't sure what it was exactly.
Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, noticed Kakashi's preoccupation and spoke up. He expressed his surprise at Sasuke mastering such a formidable technique. Kakashi agreed, mentioning that it reminded him of the Lightning Style Chakra Mode used by the Cloud Shinobi Village's Raikage. However, he couldn't confirm if it was the same technique.
Hiruzen's thoughts wandered, contemplating the implications of Sasuke's technique potentially originating from the Cloud Shinobi Village. He speculated that Sasuke might have secretly contacted the Cloud Shinobi, possibly making secret agreements. Given the Cloud Shinobi's historical rivalry with Konoha, Hiruzen wasn't entirely surprised by this possibility. It left him feeling concerned and out of control, unsure of what might unfold.
Realizing the gravity of the situation, Hiruzen assigned Kakashi with a critical task. He was to closely monitor Sasuke and report any suspicious behavior immediately. If Kakashi discovered any betrayal or actions harmful to Konoha, he was authorized to eliminate Sasuke on the spot. Kakashi was taken aback by the severity of the mission but assured Hiruzen that he understood the responsibility.
Hiruzen emphasized the need for ruthlessness in certain situations, mentioning that sometimes it was necessary to use force to uncover the truth. With a determined expression, Kakashi assured Hiruzen that he would carry out the mission and keep a watchful eye on Sasuke.
In an instant, Kakashi disappeared from the Hokage's office, reappearing in the classroom where Sasuke and the others were. Sasuke, still frustrated with Naruto's antics, contemplated how his newfound speed had saved him from further embarrassment. Naruto, unaware of Sasuke's involvement, accused him of causing the fall. However, Sasuke calmly denied any contact with Naruto.
The classmates observed the lightning-like speed and wondered about the nature of Sasuke's technique. Even the usually indifferent Shikamaru showed interest, recognizing that Sasuke possessed incredible speed surpassing that of Jōnin. They speculated about the mysterious technique Sasuke had displayed.
Iruka entered the classroom, witnessing the chaos, and quickly restored order. Kakashi, being the last Jōnin to arrive, took Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura outside to the rooftop for a private conversation. Kakashi noticed the distance Sasuke maintained from Naruto and Sakura and pondered whether they were problematic team members.
Finally, on the rooftop, it was time for the team members to introduce themselves. Naruto and Sakura eagerly shared their interests, hobbies, and ideals. However, Sasuke responded briefly, stating, "No comment." Naruto was about to accuse Sasuke of cheating, but Kakashi explained that self-introductions were crucial for team members to understand each other better.
Sasuke defended his minimalistic response, stating that as a ninja, it was important to keep personal matters secret to avoid revealing weaknesses to enemies. Kakashi couldn't argue with Sasuke's reasoning, realizing that he would have difficulty understanding Sasuke without more information.
Kakashi concluded that dealing with these three unique individuals wouldn't be easy. The mystery surrounding Sasuke's technique and his reserved nature added to the complexity of their team dynamics.
