Chapter 4 Instructing Jonin
In the Hokage Building, inside the Hokage Office, the Third Hokage sighed while smoking.
Kakashi had turned into a girl, and currently, there were no known aftereffects. Although her strength seemed similar to before, the actual situation was completely unclear.
Tomorrow was the day to assign guiding Jonin to this batch of Ninja Academy graduates.
The original plan was for Kakashi to lead Team 7. Could she still handle such an important duty now?
If not, who would replace Kakashi as the guiding Jonin for Team 7?
Considering Naruto's uniqueness, the Third Hokage thought for a moment and ultimately decided to keep Yamato, the Wood Release Ninja, as Kakashi's backup.
Afterward, the Third Hokage sent someone to summon Kakashi to hear his thoughts on the matter. If he wasn't up to it, they would switch to Yamato early.
Not long after, Kakashi Hatake appeared in the office.
"I'm sorry, Kakashi. I told you to rest for three days yesterday, but I'm calling you here again now."
The Third Hokage said apologetically, putting down his pipe.
"Well, I slept last night, and I'm much better now," Kakashi Hatake replied somewhat nonchalantly.
After seeing Naruto at noon, she knew the plot was about to begin. Her position as guiding Jonin should be unavoidable, so the Third Hokage seeking her out now was within her expectations.
How could she sleep soundly after something like that happened? The Third Hokage glanced at Kakashi with some surprise. But this was also good, so he nodded and continued, "That's good. Also, about what I mentioned last time, regarding you leading Team 7, are you okay with your current condition?"
"That's no problem at all!" Kakashi replied immediately without hesitation, as she still needed to complete missions to earn rewards.
"Alright, I'll be counting on you tomorrow." Hearing this answer, the Third Hokage knew the problem wasn't major; it seemed Kakashi's body was fine.
[Mission: Become the Guiding Jonin for Team 7 (Completed)]
[Reward: 1000 Shinobi Orbs.]
This completed the mission? Hearing the system's mechanical prompt, Kakashi couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
She had seen this mission at noon and thought it wouldn't count as complete until she officially became the guiding Jonin for Team 7 tomorrow. She hadn't expected it to be finished now.
...
After leaving the Hokage Building and returning home, Kakashi Hatake immediately opened the system screen.
She wanted to see what she could do with 1000 Shinobi Orbs.
"Can I add points directly, or can I purchase items from the Mall?" Kakashi looked at the screen before her, feeling a bit conflicted.
1000 Shinobi Orbs couldn't buy any good Ninjutsu. As for treasure chests, she could only afford one C-Rank Treasure Chest, and the contents would be completely random.
After hesitating for a long time, she finally decided to add points directly, applying them to her Chakra.
The moment she finished adding points, she felt a tremor run through her body, accompanied by a strange sense of comfort.
Immediately afterward, she hurriedly opened her personal panel. She saw that the Chakra line had changed to: 1.21 K Chakra.
After obtaining the S-Rank Ninjutsu Electromaster Rail Spiral Cannon yesterday, her Chakra had also increased by one point, growing by 0.2 K.
"So, 1000 Shinobi Orbs only increased it by 0.01 K? That's far less than obtaining an S-Rank Ninjutsu." Kakashi frowned slightly. It seemed it would take a very long time to raise her Chakra to 2 K just by using Shinobi Orbs!
"If I don't trigger any other missions, doing only the daily mission once a day yields 100 Shinobi Orbs. That would take nearly three years to raise Chakra by 1 K!"
The daily mission was a regular mission that refreshed every day. Today's daily mission was to go shopping while wearing women's clothing.
She didn't care about this kind of daily mission that only yielded 100 Shinobi Orbs, so she hadn't done it yet.
Although she had already bought the clothes, wouldn't it be incredibly embarrassing if acquaintances saw her?
After all, if Kakashi wore women's clothes while shopping on only the second day after turning into a girl, wouldn't that imply she was impatient and had planned this all along?
So, she couldn't wear them!

October 15th, afternoon.
Konoha Ninja Academy.
"They are so slow. Why is the teacher for only Team 7 not here yet?"
In the classroom, Uzumaki Naruto and the others were becoming impatient. The teachers for the other classes had long arrived; only Team 7 was waiting anxiously.
Suddenly, he thought of an idea to take revenge on the teacher for being late.
Uzumaki Naruto, with a mischievous smile, placed the chalkboard eraser on top of the classroom door. As long as someone outside opened the door, they would be showered with chalk dust.
The pink-haired girl in the classroom quickly spoke up to stop him, though she was only verbally objecting; inwardly, she was also a bit excited.
"Hmph, how could a Jonin fall for such a clumsy trap from you?"
At this moment, the black-haired boy sitting behind the desk snorted disdainfully. In his view, a powerful individual at the Jonin level would never be fooled by something like this.
"Exactly..." The pink-haired girl also realized this when she heard that and couldn't help but turn to glare at Naruto.
However, just then, a sound came from outside the door. The three inside the classroom subconsciously looked towards the entrance.
The three were astonished to see a slender, delicate hand reach in from outside the door, which was then pushed open.
The next second, the eraser fell, instantly landing on a head of white hair.
Seeing this scene, the three were stunned. Wait, couldn't a Jonin even avoid such a simple trick?
Wait, no. Is the person who entered... really a Jonin?
The one who pushed the door open turned out to be a beautiful white-haired girl wearing a white shirt, a black short skirt, and white knee-high socks!
Seeing the girl before them, Uzumaki Naruto and the other two were stunned. Although the girl was wearing a mask, it was not hard to tell that she looked only about sixteen or seventeen years old, not much older than them!
So, how could this person be a Jonin?
"Um... How should I put it? My first impression of you all is quite annoying."
Before the three could react, they heard the other person speak lazily.
Bang~
Immediately following a 'bang,' they saw the girl before them vanish instantly. As she disappeared, she left them with a message: Meet on the rooftop.
"A Shadow Clone? No wonder!"
The black-haired boy finally snapped out of his surprise. No wonder the person didn't care about getting her hair dirty with chalk dust; it was a Shadow Clone.
But speaking of which, was that girl really a Jonin? She didn't look like one at all!
"It's all your fault, Naruto, for making the teacher hate us!" The pink-haired girl finally reacted and couldn't help but complain to Naruto beside her.
"Huh?" Uzumaki Naruto clearly hadn't processed it yet. That beautiful girl in her attire was actually their guiding Jonin teacher?
Meanwhile, the black-haired boy behind them had already stood up and started walking out. Whether she was their guiding Jonin or not, they would know once they reached the rooftop.
"Wait for me, Sasuke~"
