Naruto Chapter 4 – Enter Hatake Kakashi

Team 7—Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke—are officially Genin and are now waiting to meet their jōnin sensei. Only problem? He’s ridiculously late. Like, “might as well start a new anime while you wait” late.

Naturally, Naruto does what any mature ninja would do—sets a prank. He balances an eraser on the door for their mysterious new teacher. Sakura, doing her usual “Naruto you’re so immature but low-key I’m entertained” routine, scolds him loudly while pretending she doesn’t enjoy the drama.

Sasuke, too cool for this nonsense, wants no part in it—but is secretly wondering if a jōnin could actually fall for something this dumb.

Spoiler: Yes. Yes, he can.

Plop!
The eraser drops right on Kakashi’s head the moment he walks in.

Naruto: “Haha! That’s what you get for being late, you eraser no-jutsu victim!”
Sakura: “I told him not to do it, sensei!” (lies and slander)
Sasuke (thinking): “This guy’s supposed to be elite?”
Kakashi (deadpan): “I don’t like you guys. That’s my first impression.”
Team 7 (collectively): “Feeling’s mutual, bud.”


Kakashi takes the team to a scenic training ground in Konoha for a little “get to know you” session—aka, time to judge these kids silently.

Naruto: “Duh, my dream’s to become Hokage and finally get everyone to notice me. Like, literally everyone. You. That bird over there. The clouds.”
Kakashi (thinking): “Was there a village memo I missed? Who is this kid?”

Sakura: “My dream is… uh… to be with Sasuke!”
Kakashi (thinking): “Ah yes, the sacred kunoichi tradition of turning your career into a long, awkward crush. Legendary.” facepalm

Sasuke: “I want revenge. I need to kill a certain someone.”
Kakashi (totally not alarmed): “Ah. The edgy prodigy backstory. Knew we’d get one.”


Kakashi then hits them with a plot twist:
They’re not real Genin until they pass his special test.
He explains it’s a make-or-break exam.

Kakashi: “Oh, and don’t eat breakfast tomorrow. You’ll just throw up.”
Also Kakashi: smiles with clear villain energy “It’ll be more fun that way. Ciao.”
Disappears like the ghost of broken dreams.

So how will this hot mess of a team—featuring a hyperactive orphan, a revenge-driven emo, and a fangirl with tunnel vision—survive Kakashi’s cruel and unusual Genin initiation?

Let’s just say history has already been written…
But right now? Team 7 looks like the worst group project ever assigned in ninja school.
