Hold the position of Squad Leader in the Anbu.
Also one of the important subordinates Kakashi relies on and trusts.
"Hmm... who knows, after all, it's a troublesome matter."
Kakashi said casually.
He wasn't just worried that teaching Sasuke would take away his rest time. If the Land of Demons intervened, then the task of teaching Sasuke couldn't be done half-heartedly.
No, it definitely will.
After all, being from the Uchiha clan, and unlike Itachi, Sasuke doesn't have the background of betraying the clan, sooner or later he will be taken by the Uchiha clan of the Land of Demons to become one of them.
For now, they don't want to make a big fuss and are temporarily fostering Sasuke here in Konoha.
When the time is right, Sasuke will leave Konoha.
"Don't worry, Tenzo-senpai and I will help the Minister handle the Anbu affairs. As for the Security Team over there, aren't they already negotiating with the Hyuga Clan?"
Yugao said with a smile.
"Yes, but we don't know if the Hyuga Clan will agree."
Holding dual positions, even if Kakashi agrees, the Hokage wouldn't consider it like this.
Thus, Kakashi is only the Acting Security Team Captain.
Based on the current situation in Konoha and the Hokage's intention, they hope to entrust the position of Security Team Captain to the Hyuga Clan, with Hyuga Hiashi as the captain.
But this request was unhesitatingly rejected by Hyuga Hiashi.
Because of fear, perhaps.
In the past, the Security Team was under the Uchiha clan, and their reputation wasn't very good. Taking on the role of the Security Team would bring certain public pressure.
The Hyuga Clan's status is already stable, and there's no need to involve themselves in the Security Team.
Originally, Nara Shikaku was also a quality candidate.
Unfortunately, he is a Jonin Squad Leader, already busy with tasks, and had to miss the chance of being Security Team Captain.
"When is the Minister planning to teach that young master from the Uchiha clan?"
Yugao asked.
"A few days later, after finishing the Anbu matters here. There's no rush."
"The Minister just wants to finish reading the new 'Icha Icha Paradise,' doesn't he?"
"That... ahaha..."
Kakashi awkwardly scratched his head, embarrassed at his secret being found out by a female subordinate.

Carrying deep-seated familial vengeance.
For Sasuke, the most painful thing is the time spent sleeping each night.
As soon as he closes his eyes, the nightmarish nights flood in like tides, swallowing him into deep seas, feeling as if they're suffocating him.
Therefore, he has to train harder than anyone else.
No one can obstruct his revenge.
When others share interests and exchange laughter, he can only stand alone in another world.
The warm world is too cruel; in the eyes of a revenger, there is no so-called friendship, nor is there a need to communicate with others; he just silently grows stronger.
Until the time comes to kill the traitor, Uchiha Itachi.
Only then will the resentment in his heart be quelled.
Standing in the quiet forest, Sasuke held a shuriken.
"Hoo..."
He settled his qi in the dantian and slowly exhaled.
He slightly bent his waist, leaping up, his body reversing in midair.
His arm shot out like lightning, and the shuriken flew towards the target hanging on the tree.
After a series of hits.
The shurikens hit all the red bullseyes without exception.
Sasuke landed safely on the ground, saw his achievement, and smiled.
Just before he could enjoy the satisfaction of his achievement, an untimely voice reached his ears:
"This kind of training is meaningless, you're simply wasting time, boy from the Uchiha family."
"Who is it?"
Sasuke was startled, looked around but found no one, then lifted his head and saw someone appeared on the tree, standing casually beside a target.
With an open book in hand, leisurely leaning there.
Eyes looking at the tree, but having watched Sasuke's training process completely, gave a meaningless evaluation.
"You are..."
Sasuke saw the familiar attire; Anbu uniform, short knife on his back, face mask, and silver hair confirmed he had met this person.
Previously, when he commissioned the Hokage to find the missing Uchiha clan stele, the one responsible for investigating the stele's disappearance was this Anbu subordinate.
They had met a few times.
"You're called... Kakashi, right?"
Sasuke uncertainly asked.
"I'm Hatake Kakashi."
Kakashi closed the book, jumped down from the tree, landed in front of Sasuke, and smilingly observed Sasuke while stating his name.
