Uchiha Obito
Chapter 62 Uchiha Obito
Danzo was very efficient; by the time Shiichi left the Root base, he had already been granted Jonin status.
Looking at the green vest in his hand, Zhiyi clicked his tongue twice.
With this green vest, Aburame Shiki is now a person of status.
Wearing his beloved vest, Shiki strolled through the streets of Konoha.
"Damn it, why did I fail again? Is it because my talent isn't good enough? How could that be! I'm a genius from the Uchiha clan!"
Zhiyi immediately spotted a head of black hair, wearing windproof goggles and a family uniform with the family crest of a fan printed on the back—it was Uchiha Obito.
Obito was holding his head in his hands, sometimes angry, sometimes grinning foolishly.
Kakashi and Rin watched silently from the side.
Obito was reminiscing about his time at the Ninja Academy. He had failed to turn the tables and shock everyone again; he was still the bottom of the class, even though he had tried his best.
Zhiyi was a little surprised to see the three of them together.
Kakashi, like him, graduated early and became a full-fledged ninja.
Formal ninjas are tasked with carrying out missions, which differs from the schedule of students at the ninja academy.
It's not easy to get together these days.
"Hey, Kakashi, Obito, and Rin, it's been a long time."
Obito Uchiha turned around and saw that Shiichi was watching him make a fool of himself, and his face turned red.
He was about to explain when he saw Shiichi's Jonin vest and became reserved again.
"The Jonin disguise is still somewhat useful; at least it can highlight one's identity and prevent one from being bothered by trivial matters."
Zhiyi clicked his tongue as he looked at Uchiha Obito, feigning sadness as he said:
"Obito, I thought our relationship wouldn't be tainted by anything else, but I never expected you to change after all."
Zhiyi sighed deeply and said:
"It was wishful thinking on my part; a pitifully thick barrier already separates us."
Obito Uchiha's face turned bright red, and he shouted loudly:
"No, I haven't changed..."
Just as Obito Uchiha was about to explain, he noticed that everyone around him was looking at him, so he stopped talking abruptly.
Kakashi looked at Obito Uchiha speechlessly and said, "Idiot."
Rin, seeing Obito's embarrassed state, couldn't help but chuckle.
Seeing Kakashi and Rin's expressions, Obito, with his extensive experience, knew he had been tricked again.
"Zhiyi! How dare you play me like this! Take this!"
As Obito spoke, he rushed towards Shiichi's direction.
After a bit of playful fighting, Shiki and Obito separated and looked at Kakashi and Rin.
"Long time no see, Kakashi, Rin."
Lin smiled sweetly, "Long time no see, Zhiyi, it's so good to see you're alright."
Obito looked at Rin's sweet smile, his face turning slightly red. He secretly gazed at that smile, wanting to remember it forever.
Kakashi looked at his former rival, who had now become a Jonin, with a complex expression in his eyes.
I was grateful but also a little resentful.
Finally, he spoke up, saying, "Long time no see, Shiichi. You've become a Jonin, but I'll catch up with you soon."
Kakashi is confident in himself. He has been training very hard recently, and his father, Sakumo Hatake, has passed on all his swordsmanship experience to him.
Even though Kakashi couldn't fully digest Sakumo Hatake's profound swordsmanship experience, the fact that he could digest it was already incredibly beneficial to him.
Kakashi is now stronger than in the original timeline.
"Are you having a party?"
"Yes, Rin knew that Kakashi had returned from a mission, so she suggested that we go find him together. I felt sorry for Kakashi because he was all alone, so I agreed."
Obito said somewhat awkwardly, but his concern was still evident in his words.
"We're comrades, and Obito really misses Kakashi. He often talks about Kakashi to me. I only found out that Kakashi had returned from a mission from Obito."
Lin's gentle voice came through.
Kakashi rolled his dead fish eyes, but didn't refute.
Even now, recalling Obito and Rin coming to find him, he still feels a surge of joy.
When Obito learned that Kakashi had returned from a mission, he whispered in Rin's ear about how Kakashi was doing.
At Rin's suggestion, Obito Uchiha hesitated for a moment before agreeing to go with Rin to find Kakashi.
Obito Uchiha peeked out furtively from the wall around Kakashi's house and called out:
"Kakashi, let's go out and play."
When Sakumo Hatake saw this, he couldn't stop smiling.
Although he can no longer appear in public, he is already very satisfied with the outcome. He can take care of his children and has nothing more to desire.
Especially seeing that Kakashi has also made friends.
"Kakashi, you need to get along better with your comrades. Don't always act so cold, or you'll never find a girlfriend."
Before Kakashi left, he was repeatedly reminded by Sakumo Hatake.
Kakashi looked speechless and quickened his pace to leave.
Watching Kakashi, Obito, and Rin leave together, Sakumo Hatake sighed.
"That's wonderful. I hope this war won't take away your precious possessions."
He had just finished a top-secret mission and was resting when he was about to set off again.
"The war is getting increasingly brutal."
……
Barbecue restaurant.
Looking at Kakashi, Obito, and Rin's skilled and coordinated movements, Zhiyi felt that he shouldn't break up this little family.
Obito ate the grilled meat with gusto, "Phew, it's so hot! Shiichi, how are you doing? Is the mission going well?"
Rin and Kakashi also turned their attention to him; they were quite curious about Shiichi's experiences as well.
While eating his barbecue, Zhiyi replied, "It's nothing, the mission went quite smoothly."
As he spoke, Zhiyi stopped eating meat. "Kakashi's strength is enough. Obito, Rin, you two must work hard to improve your strength during this period. The war is getting more and more intense."
Kakashi also showed a worried expression upon hearing this. He still had confidence in himself, but Obito and Rin's strength would make it difficult for them to survive on the battlefield.
"Hmph, I'm very strong too." Obito Uchiha was still being stubborn.
Feeling that his words carried little weight, Obito added, "Don't forget, I am a genius of the Uchiha clan. Once I awaken my Sharingan, everything will be different."
"Don't worry about me. I have already mastered basic medical knowledge and some medical ninjutsu."
Lin replied gently, saying she didn't want others to worry.
Zhiyi picked up a piece of grilled meat, put it in his mouth, and asked, "How are Genma, Hayate, and Kai?"
"They all worked very hard. After you and Kakashi graduated early, they worked just as hard as Guy did before, and Guy worked even harder."
Obito said that he thought he could improve after trying hard.
Despite the increased efforts of Genma, Hayate, and Kai, their rankings remained unchanged, despite their rapid improvement in strength. He was still at the bottom of the class.
"Damn it, I was at the bottom of the class before I tried hard, and I'm still at the bottom now. Didn't all my efforts go to waste?"
