Back at the Academy, Team 8 and Team 10 are assigned to Kurenai Yūhi and Asuma Sarutobi respectively, leaving Team 7 alone at the Academy. Kakashi, who is at the Memorial Stone speaks briefly with Yamato who notes that his senpai was changing if even very little at a time. Upon his arrival, Kakashi notices the simple prank set up above the door but allows it to hit him as he assesses his new team, reaching the conclusion that they had no teamwork whatsoever. However, after testing them, Kakashi happily noted that they passed the test and that they were now officially Team 7.
