After hearing Sosuke’s words, the Chunin instructor Umino Shika felt that this class would likely be the most difficult one he had ever had to lead!
There was Asuma, son of the Hokage, and Sosuke, younger brother of Tsunade, not to mention the large number of Ninjas from prestigious clans like the Hyuga and Uchiha.
As a mere Chunin instructor, he dared not offend anyone; he was truly walking on thin ice!
“Very well said, Sosuke.”
Although Umino Shika was struggling to keep a straight face, he still managed to force a smile.
[Detectable collectible trait: E-rank trait]
[E-rank trait: Mask of the Heart]
[Effect: Your facial expression management ability is increased by 40%.]
‘This trait…’
Sosuke glanced at Umino Shika.
He had a feeling that it had dropped from this Chunin instructor, because he was the only one smiling, while everyone else looked bewildered.
After Sosuke stepped down, Rin Nohara asked curiously:
“Sosuke, what is your relationship with Lady Tsunade?”
Upon hearing this, Sosuke immediately felt that Rin’s question was quite inquisitive.
“Oh, I live with Sister Tsunade.
Whatever she eats, I eat.”
Sosuke said.
Although Tsunade was not his biological sister or cousin, and their bloodline was somewhat distant, beyond the third generation.
But since they were from the same clan, she treated Sosuke quite well.
The students in the class looked at each other, quite puzzled.
After all the members finished introducing themselves, Umino Shika distributed the files to everyone and announced the dismissal.
Tomorrow would be the first official class.
“Obito is late again.”
Rin Nohara sighed and had no choice but to take the file for Obito first.
On such an important day as the entrance ceremony, for Obito to still be late, he really was something else.
“It’s Obito’s usual style.”
Kakashi remarked sarcastically.
Then he looked at Sosuke and asked where he planned to practice swordsmanship.
“Let’s go to the Third Training Ground.”
Sosuke said.
It was very close to the Village.
“Alright.”
Kakashi nodded.
Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice.
“Oh no, oh no, I absolutely cannot be late today!”
Obito, wearing yellow goggles, was sprinting desperately toward the classroom.
But he could only see the crowd of people streaming out, which made Obito feel increasingly uneasy.
“He’s even late for the entrance ceremony.
Someone like that has no qualifications to enter the Ninja Academy; it’s hopeless.”
Kakashi shook his head, watching Obito rush over.
What he despised most was someone like Obito who didn’t keep time; such a person could never become a true Ninja.
Hearing Kakashi’s words, Sosuke also looked at Obito.
Although Kakashi’s words were very sharp right now, in a sense, it was indeed true.
If a mission was delayed, it might lead to the failure of the mission.
…
“It’s okay, I picked it up for you.”
Rin Nohara handed Obito’s entrance file to him.
“Thank you, Rin, I owe you a favor!”
Obito suddenly blushed inexplicably and thanked Rin Nohara solemnly.
Kakashi shook his head.
With Rin Nohara spoiling Obito like this, how could his habit of being late ever be fixed?
“Sosuke, let’s go.”
Compared to a character like Obito, Kakashi was more interested in Sosuke.
“Let’s go.”
Sosuke and Kakashi continued walking forward.
Obito was confused and didn’t understand where they were going.
After hearing Rin Nohara’s explanation, Obito also clamored to go.
Thus, the group headed to the Third Training Ground together.
…
Hokage Building.
“Hiruzen, we cannot continue to let Sosuke go unchecked!”
Danzo Shimura looked serious.
In his view, any Uchiha brat who was born evil needed to be managed.
This was the motto he had inherited from his mentor, Senju Tobirama, and had adhered to his whole life.
Every time he saw an Uchiha breathe, Danzo Shimura could smell a stench!
“Danzo!”
Hiruzen Sarutobi was somewhat dissatisfied with Danzo Shimura’s attitude of telling him what to do.
It seemed he had truly given Danzo Shimura too much power.
“You must understand, Sosuke is also a clansman of Master Tobirama.”
Hiruzen Sarutobi took a puff from his pipe and said slowly.
“Hmph.”
Danzo Shimura snorted coldly.
“Precisely because of that, he must be handed over to Root to guide him onto the right path; otherwise, he will surely become a disaster.
You will regret this in the future, Hiruzen.”
Hearing Danzo Shimura’s words, Hiruzen Sarutobi put down his pipe.
“Enough, I am the Hokage!”
Hiruzen Sarutobi slammed the table.
Although Sosuke had half Uchiha blood, he also had half Senju blood!
How could he watch a Senju clansman be sent to Root by Danzo Shimura to be ruined?
Danzo Shimura looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, somewhat exasperated.
He had devoted himself to Konoha, yet Hiruzen Sarutobi was actually using his position as Hokage to suppress him again!
If it hadn’t been for me being a few seconds late back then, would there even be anything for you, Hiruzen Sarutobi?
Danzo Shimura suppressed his dissatisfaction and stormed out, slamming the door.
~Bang!
The door, which had been slammed by Danzo Shimura countless times, was already somewhat shaky.
Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately called an Anbu Ninja and told him to send someone to repair it.
“Yes, Hokage-sama.”
As the Anbu Ninja was about to withdraw, Hiruzen Sarutobi added another sentence:
“Make sure Danzo pays for the repairs out of his own pocket.”
“Yes.”
After the Anbu Ninja left, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the crystal ball on his desk again.
He had clearly understood the situation in the classroom.
Hiruzen Sarutobi rubbed his chin, planning to observe Sosuke’s situation closely.
…
Third Training Ground.
“This guy wants to spar with Kakashi, really?”
Obito crossed his arms, looking skeptical.
“Maybe Sosuke is very strong?”
Rin Nohara spoke up for Sosuke.
She had a very good impression of Sosuke.
“Hmph, no matter who is stronger between them, I am the strongest!”
Obito pointed at his eyes and said confidently:
“Once I awaken the Sharingan, I will be even stronger!”
“Idiot.”
Kakashi felt that Obito’s IQ was truly beyond saving.
The Sharingan was just a tool; weren’t there so many Uchiha who hadn’t awakened the Sharingan yet, who were still better than Obito?
“Come on, Sosuke.”
Kakashi looked at Sosuke and picked up a branch from the ground to use as a wooden sword.
Sosuke did the same.
“I won’t go easy on you.”
Sosuke said.
He wanted to see if he could force out more of Kakashi’s sword techniques and obtain corresponding traits.
As his words fell, a flash of scarlet appeared in Sosuke’s eyes.
It was One-Tomoe Sharingan…
