-Report on team Kakashi
-dated before leaving for Kumo
Sasuke:
Taijutsu : Solid low B-rank.
Ninjutsu : Solid mid A-rank
Genjutsu : Null
The sharingan provides much aid to him. Enhancing his taijutsu and making his Ninjutsu repertoire unmatched. Further growth will require controlled combat experience. Has taken the lead in team planning and strategy.
Psychological evaluation:
Has become more sullen and withdrawn after his first kill.
Hinaa:
Taijutsu : High B-rank.
Ninjutsu : Null
Genjutsu : Null
Her lack of ninjutsu puts her at serious risk at range. If she can close the distance to her opponent then she is likely to defeat any chunin and some jonin lacking in taijutsu.
The byakugan offers unparalleled capability for stealth and ambush tactics.
Psychological evaluation:
Has become somewhat more sullen after her first kill. Impact likely diminished from already expecting and anticipating it beforehand.
Sakura:
Taijutsu: Low C-rank
Ninjutsu: medium C-rank
Genjutsu: Low C-rank
Is comparable to the average chunin. Her usefulness comes from her medical capabilities. Her talent in medical ninjutsu is unmatched, with time will almost certainly revolutionize the field.

Hinaa:
Taijutsu : Low A-rank.
Ninjutsu : D-Rank
Genjutsu : Null
Has improved her taijutsu, but is still vulnerable from long-range.

-Report on team Kakashi
-After negotiation failure
Sasuke:
Taijutsu : Medium A-rank
Ninjutsu : A+ -rank.
Genjutsu : Medium B-rank
Ninjutsu repertoire has increased. The ability to use seals in conjunction with it has led to devastating area attacks. If capable of replication without premeditated preparations would be borderline S-rank.
Psychological evaluation:
Slight sociopathic behaviour developed. Is within expected boundaries.
Hinaa:
Taijutsu : High A-rank.
Ninjutsu : D-Rank (low S-Rank)
Genjutsu : Null
Has improved taijutsu. Ranged capabilities massively increased. The addition of the bow puts her ranged capabilities at medium A-rank. The addition of seals on the arrows pushes that to S-rank. If capable of replication without premeditated preparations would be low S-rank.
Psychological evaluation:
Slight sociopathic behaviour developed. Is within expected boundaries.
Sakura:
Taijutsu: high B-rank
Ninjutsu: medium C-rank
Genjutsu: medium C-rank
Taijutsu has improved massively. Medical ninjutsu capabilities have increased. Is now capable of saving all but the most severely wounded and maimed.

-Kakashi POV
The mission is important. That much is true. Those who abandon the mission are trash. I have long since become worse than trash.
Lying in the reports is just the cherry on top. Sakura has completely dehumanized the Kumogakure shinobi, with Hinata and Sasuke not far away from her.
I have debated with myself whether or not to understate this fact in the reports. What led me to my choice ended up being that they would then be denied further training, lowering their survival chances. The risk of them being sent on a suicide mission as a result is almost null, but not completely absent.
I will not let another one of my friends die ever again.
