Squad Seven

Though hesitant of being assigned another genin team until learning from Hiruzen that Naruto is the son of his mentor Minato, Kakashi accompanies the Third Hokage to the youth's home and then to where Sasuke lived. After visiting Sakura's home and meeting her parents Kizashi and Mebuki, Hiruzen later explaining his rationale behind formulating the genin teams from the Sannin, Kakashi ultimately accepts his new assigned students. As Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura were waiting for their instructor after the rest of their classmates were assigned to Asuma and Kurenai, Kakashi pays a visit to the Memorial Stone where Tenzo comments on how much his senior has slowly changed. Once at the academy, Kakashi proceeds to make himself appear to his students as a slacker in order to assess their teamwork skills before they passed his test the following day with Team 7 officially formed.
