The only one in the entire class who constantly shouted about youth and passion in such a chuunibyou way was none other than the newly admitted Might Guy.
Kakashi stared at Guy, who had just finished his lunch and instantly revived with full energy, his face covered in black lines. Then he glanced at Uzumaki Rin, who was casually chatting with Kurenai while leisurely eating his bento, and felt even worse.
If it weren't for Rin, how could this battle maniac Guy have targeted him?
"I haven't finished eating yet," Kakashi said helplessly.
"No problem, Kakashi! I can wait! Once you're done, we can begin our battle of youth!" Guy flashed his signature grin, his shining teeth practically sparkling.
Seeing this, Rin almost burst out laughing—especially at Kakashi's expression, which was on the verge of collapse.
After Guy enrolled, his first target had been Rin. But Rin had skillfully redirected him to challenge Kakashi instead, even telling him that if he defeated Kakashi, he could come back to challenge him.
As a result, Rin was now completely relaxed, watching this pair of destined "rivals" clash with each other.
After finishing his meal, Rin was just about to lie down and nap again.
But at that moment, Rin Nohara walked over.
"Rin-kun, could I ask you something about medical ninjutsu?"
Looking at the adorable Rin, Rin naturally nodded. "Of course. Ask whatever you want. I'm pretty skilled in medical ninjutsu."
"Thank you, Rin-kun," Rin said happily. In truth, she had gathered her courage to ask him, fully prepared to be rejected.
After all, over the past month, Rin had given everyone the impression that he was hard to approach. He slept in class all the time and had defeated both Kakashi and Asuma multiple times—anyone would feel intimidated.
Just as Rin was explaining medical ninjutsu to Rin—
The future villain who would one day try to destroy the world—Obito Uchiha—finally snapped.
"Uzumaki Rin! I challenge you to a duel!"
His shout stunned the entire class.
What was going on? The dead-last Obito actually dared to challenge the great demon king Rin? Was he asking to die?
"Stop messing around," Rin said calmly, glancing at him.
Seeing himself being ignored so completely, Obito's anger exploded. At that moment, he wasn't even thinking about Rin's strength anymore—he just wanted to defeat him and win back Rin's attention.
"Damn it! Don't look down on me! Watch how I deal with you!" Obito shouted as he leapt forward.
"Sealing Art: Adamantine Sealing Chains."
In the next instant, several chakra chains shot out and bound Obito mid-air, leaving him completely unable to dodge. Then Rin casually flung him out the window.
Their classroom was on the third floor—over ten meters above the ground.
"If you've got the guts, fight me properly with ninjutsu! What kind of skill is sneak attacking with sealing techniques?" Obito shouted even while bound.
"Invincible Wind-Fire Wheel! Enjoy yourself. I'll let you down when you admit defeat," Rin said with a grin.
The chains began spinning, swinging Obito through the air like a flail.
"Ahhh—! Help! I'm gonna pass out—!"
Obito's screams echoed endlessly from outside the window.
At that moment, the entire academy could hear him—and see Obito spinning in perfect circular motion in midair.
Everyone who witnessed it sucked in a sharp breath.
Losing a fight or getting injured wasn't scary.
What was terrifying… was not even being able to surrender, and instead being swung around like a weapon.
Rin's chakra chains had already become famous throughout the academy. No one else could even replicate such a technique.
From that moment on, everyone marked Uzumaki Rin as someone absolutely not to be provoked.
Being his enemy… was simply too miserable.
"Alright, let's continue," Rin said casually, as if nothing had happened, and resumed explaining medical ninjutsu to Rin.
"But… but Rin-kun… will Obito be okay like that…?" Rin asked hesitantly.
"He's fine. He looks like he's having fun. Listen to how lively his screams are—he's full of energy," Rin waved it off.
"…Uh…" Rin was speechless.
Meanwhile, Kakashi broke out in cold sweat.
Only now did he feel a sense of lingering fear.
During his own fight with Rin, he had also been bound by those chakra chains. If his father hadn't appeared, his fate might not have been any better than Obito's.
Even if it didn't cause serious injury… the humiliation alone was unbearable.
Five minutes later, Rin finally lowered Obito and dropped him onto the classroom floor.
Obito was completely dizzy, his eyes spinning with little circles and stars, foam even forming at the corner of his mouth. His condition was utterly miserable.
Click. Click. Click.
A series of shutter sounds rang out.
Rin had taken out a camera and snapped multiple photos of Obito, even capturing close-ups.
"Perfect. Blackmail material collected," Rin said with satisfaction, putting the camera away. His mood couldn't have been better.
Not only had he beaten Obito, but he had also secured his embarrassing moments on film.
By the time Obito eventually went dark, Rin would probably be the person he most wanted to kill.
But that didn't matter.
For now—enjoy the moment.
The afternoon passed quickly.
Rin spent it as usual—sleeping at his desk, occasionally moving just to prove he was still alive.
When school ended, he said goodbye to Rin and casually left.
But after only a few steps, eight people blocked his path.
Rin glanced at their clothing and immediately recognized them as members of the Uchiha clan—likely older academy students.
"So you're the one who humiliated a member of the Uchiha clan at noon. Kneel and apologize now, and we might consider letting you off. Otherwise, don't blame us for being merciless," one of them said arrogantly.
"Did Obito send you to take revenge?" Rin asked curiously. As far as he knew, Obito wasn't exactly popular within the clan—so why were these people standing up for him?
"Don't mention that trash. Because of him, the Uchiha clan was humiliated," the man said disdainfully.
Rin shook his head helplessly. "As expected. With the way your Uchiha clan is, your future fate is practically inevitable."
Hearing this, the group became furious.
"Enough talking. Let's teach him a lesson!"
"Don't worry—we won't kill you. But you'll experience unimaginable pain."
"Despair…"
