Chapter 9 Obito's Jealousy

"Teacher Umino, could you arrange more practical combat scenarios? We're ninjas, not just running away from our lives."

Many students complained.

Compared to simple physical training, they prefer individual combat.

At least for that time, he could still receive cheers from others.

"Yo, Kakashi, it's time for my favorite part again!"

Matt Kay flashed his gleaming white teeth and gave a thumbs-up.

"Want to have a fiery youthful showdown with me?"

"..."

Kakashi, wearing a scarf, glanced at Might Guy's green bodysuit.

Seeing Matt Kai making strange gestures from time to time, I just wanted to wash my eyes.

He didn't know why his father, Hatake Sakumo, had warned him that Might Guy would be a formidable opponent in the future, and at that moment he just found it absurd.

"If you don't run now, you'll fall behind."

Kakashi started running.

"Kakashi, I'm here!"

Might Guy immediately caught up with Kakashi.

"Kakashi is as handsome as ever."

Many young girls watch Kakashi run, and feel that watching Kakashi run makes them feel less tired.

Rin Nohara also secretly glanced at Kakashi, trying her best to keep up with his pace.

"Can you keep up?"

Kakashi said calmly.

"I can keep up."

Nohara Rin nodded.

Obito was at the very back. Seeing Rin and Kakashi chatting as if no one else was around, he gritted his teeth, ran a few steps ahead, and blocked Rin's view.

"Kakashi, you're too slow."

Obito made a relaxed expression.

"idiot."

Kakashi thought Obito was stupid. They had only run a few laps when Obito suddenly disrupted his own rhythm and started to match the rhythm of the others.

Later on, you will inevitably run out of energy.

He shook his head and continued running forward.

"That's... Uchiha Kiyoshi."

Kakashi's gaze sharpened.

While I was chatting with the others, I turned around and suddenly realized that Kiyoshi had already run ahead of the others.

Kakashi wondered if it was just his imagination, but he noticed that Kiyoshi seemed to be running more and more easily.

For the next few laps, Kakashi kept observing Kiyoshi.

As a result, Kiyoshi didn't sweat much until the end.

While the others were catching their breath and resting, Kiyoshi took out a small booklet and was looking at something.

This performance caught the attention of his instructor, Roku Umino.

Then he thought of the origins of Qing Si.

"The Land of Thunder."

He recalled the group of Cloud Village ninjas who were famous for their ninjutsu and taijutsu.

It's normal for Kiyoshi to have better physical fitness than others.

Neither the Senju nor the Uzumaki clans are as renowned for their ninjutsu and taijutsu as the ninjas from the Land of Lightning.

Aren't you tired?

Kakashi came over and asked.

He was very curious how Kiyoshi, with his thin appearance, could have such good long-distance running ability.

"well enough."

Kiyoshi picked up the water bottle he had prepared in advance and took a sip. With the presence of chakra, ninjas are much stronger than ordinary people, and the same is true for long-distance running.

After taking a sip, Kiyoshi looked at Kakashi.

This is a prodigy who developed the S-rank ninjutsu, Lightning Blade, at the age of twelve.

The Sharingan that Obito gave to Kakashi actually hindered Kakashi's growth.

In the official novel "Kakashi's Secret Story: Lightning of the Ice and Sky", Kakashi Hatake developed a new type of lightning ninjutsu that could be activated without relying on the Sharingan and without hand seals not long after losing his Sharingan.

That is "Shiden", as a replacement for Raikiri.

"Kakashi, weren't you supposed to be performing even better?"

Kakashi is the top student in his grade overall, so he naturally has no weaknesses in terms of physical fitness.

"Kiyoshi, so you're one of those who burn with youthful passion too!"

Matt Kai ran over, his watermelon-shaped hair swaying in the wind.

"No, I'm just doing this for training."

Kiyoshi pointed to his thin body, paused, and said:

"Becoming a ninja requires more than just this."

"That's true."

Matt Kai nodded in agreement.

Beneath the bodysuit, Might Guy had long since developed a strong physique.

Kiyoshi definitely needs some training.

"Kiyoshi is really hardworking."

Nohara Rin wiped her sweat and walked over.

Thin traces of sweat floated on Nohara Rin's fair skin, adding a touch of smoothness.

"My physique should be handsome enough, right?"

Obito, who had disrupted his rhythm by trying to block Kakashi in front of Rin Nohara, was exhausted in the last few laps.

Everyone else had finished running, leaving him the only one running.

With weak steps, he finally finished the last lap.

He looked around to see where Nohara Rin was.

If Rin Nohara can see this side of him working so hard, then a little tiredness is nothing.

"Lin..."

Obito saw Nohara Rin's back from the left. He ran a few steps and was about to go over and say hello when he saw that there were a few other people in front of Nohara Rin.

Matt Kai was automatically ignored by him.

He has a formidable rival, Kakashi.

And that annoying person from the Land of Lightning.

"Nohara Rin-san, could you please continue teaching me ninjutsu today? I've already gained a basic understanding of tree-climbing training, and I want to learn an E-rank ninjutsu as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Kakashi looked at Rin Nohara with a puzzled expression.

His father needed him to come home yesterday, so he left earlier than usual.

So, Rin Nohara taught this transfer student how to climb trees yesterday?

Kakashi's secret passage.

"Of course, that way Kiyoshi can adapt to the learning environment here as soon as possible."

Nohara Rin nodded.

In front of Kakashi, of course, one must show one's gentle and kind side.

Their conversation reached Obito's ears.

"Why is it that guy again?"

Obito stopped and clenched his fists.

He didn't spend much time with Rin; most of the time it was just Kakashi, Rin, and himself together.

He had to shamelessly approach her yesterday.

If we didn't move closer, wouldn't we be alone together?

His grandmother told him that his parents died on the battlefield a long time ago.

At that time, the Land of Lightning and the Land of Fire were at war.

This guy is from the Land of Lightning again.

And he was always hanging around Lin.

Obito could tolerate other things, but he couldn't tolerate Nohara Rin's behavior.

He acknowledged Kakashi's strength to some extent, regarding him as both a rival in love and a good classmate.

Why would a newcomer attract Lin's attention like this?

"What's wrong, Obito?"

Asuma Sarutobi, while smoking a lollipop, noticed that Obito's complexion wasn't good.

"fine."

Obito waved.

Seeing this, Sarutobi Asuma didn't bother asking any more questions.

His relationship with Obito was so-so, so he just asked casually.

"Oh, it's Lin."

Following Obito's gaze, Sarutobi Asuma immediately understood why Obito was acting this way.

Obito always fawned over Rin like this, and the classmates could all see something was going on.

"Tsk."

Sarutobi Asuma didn't think much of Obito's sycophantic behavior. How could a grown man be so humble?

He walked in another direction, smiled, and said:

"Hong, are you tired? I have some candy here..."
