He smiled silently.

"In the end it all depends on what you want. Congratulations, you have acquired the first quality a captain needs - trust."

"So what you're saying is that it's up to me to decide whether to participate?"

Qianye looked at Tiantian and Hesha.

The two girls nodded.

"How does it feel?"

Kakashi's eyes were narrowed, and he was definitely smiling under his mask.

"To be honest, when I think that my decision will affect the fate of two people, it's quite stressful."

Chiba told the truth.

Although he had been a doctor and had killed people, the surgeries he participated in were the kind of surgeries that would cause him to be disabled if he did not perform them, so he really did not have much burden.

This time is different.

"So, what's your answer?"

"Not participating."

Kakashi raised an eyebrow.

After a few seconds of silence, he asked: "Why?"

"No reason. There is not much difference between graduating one year earlier and one year later. A so-called chuunin title means nothing. But if my teammates are in crisis because of my hasty decision-making, I will be very sad."

Chiba answered truthfully, "I care more about my partners than a position."

"You don't trust your teammates?"

Kakashi's tone was a bit harsh.

Tiantian couldn't help but speak for Chiba: "Kakashi-sensei, Chiba-kun doesn't mean this, he just cares about us!"

"Then you mean, I don't care about you?"

Kakashi's voice was cold, exuding a bit of murderous intent. Tiantian and Hesha's faces turned slightly pale, and the others around them also took a few steps back, except Chiba who did not make any move.

"The teacher has his own ideas, and I have my own ideas. I just expressed my own ideas. There is no conflict between the two."

Chiba smiled.

"I'll give you another chance."

"No need to test, Kakashi-sensei, I remember there are two Chunin exams a year, right? Even if you don't take part this time, you can still take part next time."

Chiba stretched out and said, "I think it will be more beneficial to Tiantian and the others if I participate next time."

"Oh? Do you think I'm testing you?"
