In Naruto: Reborn with a Chat Group-Chapter 69 - : Team Assignments

[Uchiha Madara: Damn it, damn it! My reputation is ruined! That damned Tobirama!]

Witnessing this scene, Makoto was left somewhat speechless.

'Is this the never-ending cycle of conflict between Indra and Ashura? Are they destined to end up kissing in every reincarnation?'

The group continued their heated discussion for quite some time, which resulted in both Hashirama and Madara falling into an silence.

Unwilling to endure the embarrassment, Madara, staged an act of leaving home right in the duel ground.

Once again, he left the village.

Naturally, Hashirama immediately went after him, leading to another scene of Hashirama desperately chasing Madara.

Meanwhile, in the real world, the classroom was filled with excitement. The students were abuzz, first because it was the day they would be assigned to new teams, and then because they had just witnessed a shocking scene!

The lively atmosphere remained until Iruka walked into the room.

Iruka was puzzled. 'Why is the class so unusually energetic today? And what is all this talk about a kiss? Is one of my students in a relationship?'

But what confused him even more was why everyone was discussing Sasuke and Naruto.

He was thoroughly confused. These students were truly an odd bunch.

How could Naruto and Sasuke have kissed each other? And why were they making such a fuss over two boys?

However, Iruka didn't dwell on it for too long.

Shaking off his confusion, he began reviewing the students' six years of study. He reminded them that they were now true ninjas, urging them to mature, strive to become outstanding shinobi, and inherit the Will of Fire.

After finally concluding his speech on the Will of Fire, Iruka moved on to the much-anticipated announcement of the team divisions.

The entire class listened intently as Iruka spoke, each student had their own thoughts and hopes.

Ino and Hinata both wished to be in the same team as Makoto, while Naruto eagerly hoped to be placed alongside Sakura. On the other hand, Sakura wanted to be in the same team as Sasuke, while Sasuke himself considered Makoto to be an ideal teammate. In Sasuke's mind, the only student in the class who wasn't a weakling was Makoto.

As for Makoto, he was curious about his assignment. In the original story, he had been nothing more than a minor character with no real presence. Now that he had the opportunity to be assigned to a team, he wondered which one it would be.

Iruka continued reading out the team assignments.

"First team..."

"Second team..."

"Third team..."

With each announcement, Makoto listened carefully, but his name was yet to be called.

He assumed he would be placed in Team 7. After all, it was the team of the two main protagonists and, well, a dishwasher.

But then, Iruka read out the names for Team 7, and Makoto was left dumbfounded.

"Team 7! Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura!"

Each of them reacted differently to the announcement.

'Damn it! It's one thing if I'm not in Makoto's team, but why am I stuck with these weaklings?!' Sasuke thought, his face dark with irritation.

"Yes! I'm in the same team as Sakura!" Naruto shouted in excitement before abruptly frowning. "Wait... why is Sasuke here too?!"

Naruto was thrilled to be placed alongside Sakura, but he couldn't understand why Sasuke was on the team instead of Makoto.

Sakura was absolutely ecstatic in her heart!

'Hehehe... I'm actually in the same team as Sasuke! This is amazing! If only Naruto weren't here... just me and Sasuke, alone together....how perfect would that be?!'

Makoto was still trying to process the situation. He had never expected to be left out of Team 7.

That was the protagonist's team! What exactly was Sarutobi planning for him?

Even if he wasn't placed in Team 7, Makoto had assumed he would at least be assigned to a team with other strong students. But as the teams were formed one by one, he realized that all the powerful students had already been grouped together.

This was almost exactly like the original story.

Iruka finally finished calling out all the names, officially completing the team assignments but Makoto's name had never been mentioned.

Confused, he immediately raised his hand.

"Iruka-sensei! What about me? Which team am I on?"

At this moment, Ino and Hinata, who had been feeling disappointed about not being in the same team as Makoto, suddenly perked up their ears.

Makoto's name hadn't been called yet! That meant he still didn't have a team!

Their eyes lit up with excitement.

Could this be their chance to have him assigned to their team?

Ino immediately spoke up, her face full of excitement. "Sensei! Since Makoto isn't in a team, why not let him join ours?"

Hinata, though much less bold than Ino, quietly raised her hand and softly suggested,

"Iruka-sensei, our team would be fine too..."

Seeing this, Naruto jumped up anxiously, "Iruka-sensei! Why don't you just let Makoto join our team?"

...

[Senju Tobirama: Makoto, why haven't they assigned you to a team? What is that monkey bastard planning to do with you?]

[Senju Hashirama: Even though Makoto gained all his strength from us, no one outside knows that. How could they just leave him out like this?]

[[Uchiha Madara: Maybe they're trying to suppress him.]

[Namikaze Minato: Probably not...]

[Uchiha Madara: Have you forgotten how Shisui died? How Itachi turned against the village? After everything that's happened in this damn place, nothing would surprise me!]

[Senju Hashirama: ...]

Makoto ignored the ongoing debate in the group chat.

Right now, his thoughts lied elsewhere. What exactly was Sarutobi Hiruzen planning for him?

Could Danzo be involved? Was he trying to recruit him into Root?

If that was the case, then Makoto had no intention of staying in the village. Being placed in Root would mean having his life completely controlled by Danzo. If it came to that... leaving the village might be his best option.
