Sasuke growled at his teacher, it was the closest he had come to speaking to the man over the last four days. The man had woken him up at an insanely early hour, ran him through a training routine from hell, and expected more out of him?

"You know, that attitude problem of yours is the reason you didn't graduate early like Naruto did." Kakashi said, casually leaning against a tree with his nose buried in his perverted book like he had been for the last hour.

"WHAT?" he yelled, stunned by Kakashi's little revelation.

"Your attitude and apparent superiority complex which you seem to have inherited from your father was seen as potentially disruptive." Kakashi said calmly as he turned a page.

"The fact that an early graduation would have placed you on a team with older Genin would have been disruptive enough." Kakashi continued, still reading that book. "The addition of your rather atrocious attitude would almost certainly have sparked a number of power struggles within your team as the older Genin tried to maintain a dominant position, which would have resulted in a great deal of infighting, which would potentially have had catastrophic effects on any mission such a team would be assigned to. Such things have happened before in the past."

"It was decided that unless your attitude improved, you would remain with your initial graduating class, since the members of that class would be able to compensate for and work around your behavior since they were already accustomed to dealing with it. Your attitude got worse instead of better, and here we are, with you causing trouble as predicted." Kakashi casually concluded as he turned another page.

He sat there stunned. The only reason he hadn't graduated with That Boy, or possibly even before him as he should have was because somebody thought he had an attitude problem? An attitude problem?
