That was pretty good. Kakashi really has no problem beating up some uppity kids. That first test was up shockingly bad; do not attack your own teammates, seriously.
Team Gai pass through sheer guts and were actually the reason they didn't do the Chuunin Exams, rather than Gai holding them back.
Kakashi's classmates looking out for him all this time was sweet. As was all those students he failed actually being pretty grateful about the lesson he taught them.
I like how he never actually told them the point of the exercise and they had to figure it out themselves. It makes me think of those fics where Naruto's team do a background check with his failed students and find out exactly what Kakashi wants; this'd be a nice twist on that.
Naruto's ID photograph had some nostalgic feels.
Edit: Oh yeah, and something else that's makes the Tenzo-centric part of this arc even less canonical here. Unless Tsunade's shockingly ignorant about Tenzo's history, this is fairly big hint that he had no relation to Root.

But to be honest, Tsunade doesn't have the best track record for knowing all the dirty things going on in her village. I doubt she would know about Itachi's role as a double agent given all the time she spent away from the village. Who is to say if Hiruzen shared that information with his advisors.
To the episode, I enjoyed it as well. Kakashi's classmates were definitely much better people than most give them credit for.
Just one thing to note, when and where did Kakashi pick up his taste for Icha Icha. In the examination against Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, he trolled them while fighting and started reading. When did that become a thing?
