With Kakashi as the only obstacles left, Tsuru and the others faced him. Despite their group assault, Kakashi easily repelled all the students. This however proved to be a setup to get the Sixth Hokage in a group String Light Formation. Despite their effort, Kakashi was still able to hold them off. Ultimately, time ran out with no one getting the bell. However, Kakashi still chose to pass everyone as they succeeded in the test's true goal; teamwork and loyalty. Afterwards, she was placed on Team 40 alongside Enko Onikuma and Dōshu Goetsu.
