【"Very good!"】
[Obito looked at Rin with a blessing in his eyes, and seeing Rin's joyful expression, his face flushed.]
[Then he continued looking down, his expression suddenly changed, as if he had seen something indescribable, his face filled with disgust.]
[The name 'Kakashi Hatake' was also on the list of eligible candidates.]
Kakashi, who had appeared behind them unnoticed, said smugly.
"Well, of course."
[Obito looked at Kakashi's smug expression, his face more uncomfortable than if he had eaten something...]
"Hmph! It's just a written test."
"Just you wait, you'll see my name soon."
As he spoke, Obito continued searching for his own name.
However, his expression grew increasingly strained, and as he surveyed the entire list, he couldn't even find the name 'Uchiha Obito'!
[Upon seeing the final word, "the above," Obito's illusions were shattered.]
[He instantly became dejected, as if he had lost his soul.]
"Didn't pass..."
"Obito, look at that."
Suddenly, Rin noticed something, quickly nudged the dejected Obito, pointed to a spot on the list, and exclaimed.
Upon hearing this, Obito quickly looked over, and his previously hopeless and listless expression gradually hardened.
At the very bottom of the list, it was clearly written:
"The following is the candidate who has passed the initial screening: Uchiha Obito."
[Immediately, Obito's lips curled into a smile again, and he jumped up and screamed!]
【"marvelous!"】
"He's qualified as a candidate. As expected of Obito."
Kakashi scoffed from the sidelines, clearly having seen it all along.
[Upon hearing this, Obito and Kurenai exclaimed in surprise!]
【"What did you say."】
Okay, you two stop arguing.
Lin began her nth attempt to mediate the fight.
"There's no time to be happy now."
The appearance of a teacher in a gray shirt not far away interrupted the crowd's discussion.
"Those who pass the test should proceed to the designated classroom immediately."
"An information session regarding the upcoming second exam will be held."
[Inside the classroom.]
All those who passed the assessment sat upright, listening attentively to the teacher's explanation of the upcoming exam.
"The second exam is in three days."
"This test focuses on practical skills."
"You must use all the taijutsu and ninjutsu you have learned."
"Come and earn your qualification!"
"Alright, I've got this in the bag!" Obito chuckled; his previous training hadn't been just for show.
"However, this is a team-based competition conducted at the class level."
"Ah, not an individual battle?" Obito asked in surprise, then smirked at Kakashi.
"Kakashi, don't you dare drag us down."
"Sigh~, I'll return that line to you exactly as it was."
Kakashi retorted coldly, even his usual deadpan expression disappearing; he seemed genuinely serious now.
"What?! My brother Tu Zi is a Red Wenjia IV!!"
Kakashi snorted coldly and said no more.
"Can you two stop arguing?!"
[Rin stopped Obito from getting up, and shouted angrily.]
[Obito looked down at Rin's slightly angry face, his own face flushing slightly, and then he obediently sat back down.]
"Especially remember, don't be late."
[Kakashi gave a final reminder.]
"Hmph! I know!"
Obito turned his head away, ignoring Kakashi.
Chapter 38: Obito who hits the mark, Danzo who smashes the cup.
【"The Second Chunin Exams Team Battle"】
The banner was stretched over the wire mesh.
A sandstorm swept across the area, and after it subsided...
Appearing on the competition field were six ninjas from two classes, standing ready and watching each other warily, prepared to strike at any moment.
As the two sides observed each other, suddenly, almost simultaneously, all six of them burst forth towards their opponents!
The two sides immediately engaged in fierce combat.
Upstairs in the red-lit building, the Third Hokage and the other Jonin were observing the performance of each contestant through a live monitor feed.
Suddenly, the Third Hokage asked Minato beside him.
"Kakashi Hatake will have to take the exam too, right?"
Minato answered confidently.
"Yes, it's in the next group."
"Oh, I'm really looking forward to it."
"That's what the Third Hokage said."
In the world of 100,000 Cold Jokes, an anonymous author wrote: "Generally speaking, Old Bitden, who says things like that, is not a good person."
[The screen changes. 】
At this moment, our Brother Tu is still on his way.
A lithe figure strode quickly through the streets.
Suddenly, Obito seemed to notice something, and his expression froze slightly.
In the distance, an old woman could be seen walking wearily down the street, carrying a huge bundle on her back.
Obito hesitated for a moment, then his expression hardened.
I promised Kakashi I wouldn't be late, and I absolutely can't let that guy make a fool of me again!
[But outside the assessment venue.]
The time has reached 2:55.
The teacher in charge of the assessment, noticing the class had only two students, offered a reminder.
"Watergate Team, it's only five minutes left before it's your turn. Are you sure you're okay?"
Lin quickly explained, but her expression seemed somewhat forced.
"Yes, he should be there soon."
The teacher frowned. "Don't you even know what's wrong with your classmates?" she warned.
"If you miss the exam time, you will immediately lose your eligibility."
Kakashi waved his hand impatiently and said angrily.
"See? I told you so."
"It's because you always spoil him that he can't seem to overcome his habit of being late."
[Rin also wore a sour expression, but she comforted Kakashi and defended Obito.]
"It's alright, he must have run into some emergency to be late."
As she spoke, even Lin lost her confidence and gave an awkward laugh.
"I should be able to make it in time for the exam."
"Hmph! That's not necessarily true."
Kakashi snorted coldly and said no more.
"Obito, you know how to time things perfectly." - Xiao Yan, Battle Through the Heavens.
"Was Kakashi-sensei like this before? He's always been late, you know." Naruto Uzumaki couldn't help but wonder.
"Yeah, not only is she always late, but she also always makes excuses, like running into an old lady or something. Who would believe that?" Sakura Haruno from the Naruto world said helplessly.
"...Kakashi." In the Naruto world, Nohara Rin felt a pang of heartache as she looked at these comments. She knew that Kakashi really missed Obito, but many years had passed in the real world. Had Kakashi been carrying this pressure alone all these years?
It must have been tough for him. His own death and Obito's death must have been a huge blow to him. I hope Minato-sensei can help Kakashi get out of the shadows of the past as soon as possible.
When Lin first realized this problem, she began to consciously or unconsciously reduce her speaking on the sky screen.
She didn't want to evoke too many memories of Kakashi's past; those who survive should look forward.
(So what is our brother Tu Zi, who vowed never to be late, doing now?)
Konoha Hospital.
Obito not only brought the bundle, but he even waited for the old lady on the way so they could arrive together.
In the world of "The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System," Shen Qingqiu says, "Le~ Kakashi: So? So the old lady is more important than me?"
The old woman wanted to express her gratitude to Obito.
Obito quickly waved his hand, indicating that it was no trouble at all.
"Here, have some candy."
In the end, the old lady had no choice but to give Obito a single piece of candy.
[Outside the assessment venue.]
The teacher glanced at the wall clock and saw that it was exactly three o'clock.
"Exam time is at 3 PM."
"Damn it, it's all because of him..."
Kakashi said fiercely, unwilling to accept defeat.
"He must be..."
Lin made her usual attempt to defend herself, but the words wouldn't come out.
Everyone has put in so much effort, it hasn't been easy, and we've finally gotten to this point. Obito really...
【Just then. 】
A shout suddenly came from afar.
"I'm late."
Obito, with a candy in his mouth, ran quickly from a distance.
"See, I told you Obito would definitely come."
