Once Konoha's jonin arrived, this farce came to an end.
The Cloud Shinobi leader berated his subordinates and told them to stop. He exchanged a few meaningless words with Minato, and that was considered the end of it. Then they led their team... into the barbecue restaurant!
No seats?
After that strange black-haired young man appeared, the waiters had cleared out a table.
But...
Uchiha Fuyou?
Was he an Uchiha Clan member without talent for ninjutsu who had gone into business?
Yet, based on the information they had gathered just now, they understood what those banner advertisements were all about.
To advertise during such an important period... that guy was no ordinary person either~
Could he have used the Uchiha Clan's reputation?
As expected.
A ninja clan doing business like this was simply neglecting its proper duties!
Even Konoha's great Uchiha Clan had fallen so low. It seemed that after winning two consecutive ninja wars, Konoha had grown arrogant and learned to indulge in comfort.
This time...
Perhaps it truly was Kumogakure's opportunity!!!
Ever since suffering repeated defeats at Konoha's hands, their great Raikage had worked tirelessly to strengthen the village in secret and intensify the Cloud Shinobi's training.
As one side waned and the other waxed... the Cloud Shinobi would surely win!
"Minato Namikaze~" the Cloud Shinobi leader muttered solemnly, "What an unbelievable speed!"
Just now...
He had not noticed Minato Namikaze's arrival at all. Rumor had it that a Konoha ninja had mastered the Space-Time Ninjutsu once wielded by the Second Hokage. His name was... Minato Namikaze!
And that Uchiha brat was his student...
Judging from the expressions of the Hokage's son and the other Konoha ninja just now, that Uchiha brat had undoubtedly mastered an extremely terrifying ninjutsu, or perhaps his strength was truly extraordinary. Yet from his exchange with Amu and Yugito Nii earlier... he had seemed quite ordinary.
Why was that?
Had he hidden his strength?
Or was he a ninjutsu-type genius?
Although the Cloud Shinobi leader did not know whether his guesses were correct, there was no doubt... Konoha had produced another genius ninja!
After all, Minato Namikaze had looked solemnly at his subordinate just now, as though something truly terrifying would happen if he used that ninjutsu.
That scene had been far too abnormal!
Even a jonin had looked grave!
A genius!
He had to be an extraordinary genius.
Along with Kakashi Hatake, descendant of the renowned Hatake Clan, and the Hokage's son.
Konoha truly deserved to be called the cradle of geniuses!
It seemed that in these Chunin Ninja Exams, Konoha had also decided to display its strength and Konoha's future before the other ninja villages.
After analyzing the information they had gathered so far.
The Cloud Shinobi leader's expression shifted uncertainly. In the end, he sighed wistfully and shook his head. "Konoha... truly is the cradle of geniuses!"
"Pah! What genius?" Amu curled his lips disdainfully beside him. "With that kind of strength, he's a genius? Give me a break. Is that all Konoha's ninja can do? They're just flattering themselves."
As soon as he finished speaking.
"Shut up!"
The Cloud Shinobi leader snapped, staring sternly at Amu. Then he looked at the Cloud Shinobi behind him, who also wore disdainful expressions, and frowned slightly. "Do all of you think the same?"
"Teacher Glai, isn't that right?" Amu stared blankly at his teacher, who had suddenly become serious. "Even that ninja they feared the most, I kicked him flying with one kick. As for the others... heh."
"If all of you think that way, you'll suffer terribly when the time comes! Fools!" The Cloud Shinobi leader sneered. Seeing his stunned subordinates, he took a deep breath and continued solemnly, "Do you remember that Konoha jonin just now? When that Uchiha brat wanted to use his ninjutsu, even Konoha's jonin became extremely serious! So that brat must be hiding a terrifying ninjutsu!"
"?!" The Cloud Shinobi Genin finally came to their senses and recalled the scene just now... those Konoha ninja really had seemed terrified that the brat would use some kind of ninjutsu.
Could it be...
Had he truly hidden his strength?!
Amu frowned as well, because at that moment, he seemed to recall those scarlet eyes.
At the time.
He had also felt a sense of fear!
His back had gone slightly cold.
It had felt as though something terrifying was about to happen.
Thinking of that, Amu muttered blankly, "What kind of terrifying ninjutsu was it?"
"There isn't enough information. Even I don't know," the Cloud Shinobi leader shook his head. Then he looked solemnly at his subordinates, who had finally understood, and said seriously, "But without a doubt, it must be an extremely terrifying ninjutsu. At the very least, it is A-rank or above. It may even be a forbidden technique!"
To master such a terrifying ninjutsu at that age, there was no doubt about it!
"That was definitely a genius!"
"Then, Teacher... what should we do?" The Genin participating in the exams became serious as well.
"Don't worry." Seeing that his subordinates seemed concerned, the Cloud Shinobi leader smiled reassuringly. "Now that we have noticed him, he will not be able to catch us off guard. Quite a few ninja villages have their eyes on Konoha's geniuses. Tomorrow, strike first. Attack together and don't give him the chance to use his ninjutsu. If you get the opportunity..." A cold glint flashed through his eyes. "Kill him!"
A genius?
Only a genius who survived was a true genius!
And they had a secret weapon!
The Cloud Shinobi leader glanced at the brown-haired girl, then fixed his profound gaze on the grill before him and murmured, Konoha's genius... Uchiha Obito?
"Obito, you... awakened your Sharingan?" Minato looked at Obito before him with satisfaction.
He really did seem much more mature.
Had he grown up?
But.
"Didn't I tell you not to use that ninjutsu again unless you were in danger?" Minato looked sternly at Obito. "Why did you use it again?"
So many people had been watching, including ninja from other villages... if he had really used it, and against a female ninja from Kumogakure at that... did he know how serious the consequences would have been?
Yet.
Obito fell silent. He did not explain, nor did he answer.
At that moment.
He had only wanted to win!
If he were a genius like Kakashi... would Rin go drink milk tea with him?
No! I'm different now!
He became resolute again, recalling that philosophical saying. Yet moments later, Rin's sweet smile surfaced in his mind again, and he fell into conflict.
Women? Ninjutsu?
He became confused. Was his heart truly still not firm enough?
Yet this appearance... looked particularly conflicted and helpless to everyone else. Even Minato, who had originally intended to give him a good lecture, softened and said quietly, "Obito, did you run into some trouble? If you can't solve it, tell me. Your teacher will help you!"
"That's right, Obito!" Rin took Obito's hand and said seriously, "If something is bothering you, you must tell us. We'll help you, Obito."
Her concerned expression made Obito even more conflicted. At that moment... the resolve brought by his Sharingan seemed as though it would vanish. Rin still has feelings for me after all. Warmth filled his heart, and that foolish grin appeared on his face. Just as he was about to confess while he had the chance, "Rin, I..."
Before he could finish.
Smack!
A slap suddenly landed on the back of his head.
That detestable guy's voice suddenly rang out. "Why are you acting all melancholy at such a young age? If you're unhappy, dad will take you out to have some fun! If that doesn't work, your Teacher Minato is an old girlfriend... an old regular too. Have him take you out to relax!"
The Uchiha's mental problems really needed attention~
A perfectly fine foolish kid had only awakened one tomoe, yet he was already pretending to be profound?
Damn it!
As soon as he finished speaking.
"..."
Seeing everyone silently staring at him, Minato gave an awkward laugh. "Fuyou was joking. I don't know anything."
And Obito...
"Ahhh! You bastard, it wasn't easy for me to make up my mind!"
The familiar Obito had returned.
He frantically scratched his hair and glared at Uchiha Fuyou. I'll remember this! The day I become Hokage will be the day you go bankrupt!
