You Won!

"Asuma, what's with you?"

"Wear a mask!" Asuma wore a mask made from a square piece of kraft paper, leaving only his eyes and nostrils exposed, completely wrapped up. He scratched his nose and said helplessly, "After the Forest of Death ended, I guessed this scene would come, so I prepared it specially." He sighed, tilted his head up at a forty-five-degree angle, and gazed wistfully at the ceiling, "As expected… I can't avoid it."

As he spoke.

"……"

His companions around him were all silent.

Shiranui Genma even took the senbon out of his mouth, holding it in his hand, worried that if he accidentally angered the crowd later, he might accidentally rub his tongue.

Looking at Kakashi, who had been wrapped up tightly from the beginning, he was slightly stunned and frowned. Did you prepare this long ago?

No, I've always been like this. Kakashi glanced at him calmly. It's just that the missions have been too dangerous lately, so I changed to thicker fabric.

This way, if he accidentally got some unknown substance on him, it wouldn't stick to his face.

Ever since he started missions with Obito, who knew how dangerous it had been?

Sigh.

It was better not to talk about it; the higher-ups wouldn't let him switch teams anyway.

When Shiranui Genma saw Kakashi's wistful expression, he suddenly recalled the scene of things flying everywhere that day. The corner of his mouth twitched, and he suddenly understood, nodding as if he had figured something out.

But… he was also a little confused at the moment. After hesitating, he asked, "Why did Obito become like this?"

He remembered.

When they were classmates.

Aside from being a bit careless, absent-minded, and attention-seeking, Obito had no other problems.

He was also a helpful person, always patiently helping the lonely elderly people in the village without complaint!

How long had it been since graduation?!

How… how did he degenerate to this point?

Shiranui Genma sighed leisurely, looking at Obito on the stage fighting the Cloud ninja. He hesitated and asked, "After graduation, what exactly did you encounter?"

How could a boy who loved to laugh become like this?

However.

"……" Kakashi was silent.

You ask me, who am I supposed to ask!

Even Obito's dad probably didn't know!

"This is youth!" Might Guy next to him said seriously, watching Obito on stage. "Obito has really gotten stronger. I really want to…"

"Challenge him again?" Asuma, wearing his paper mask, came over, picked his nose, and pointed at the ninja on the stage who was sticking their butt out, looking at the match with shame and anger. "Do you find their current appearance familiar?"

Indeed.

Obito had become stronger.

His kunai throws were more accurate, he could use the Great Fireball Jutsu, and even his observation skills had improved.

But.

He had changed.

He was no longer the pure Obito he used to be.

He sighed leisurely, his tone filled with vicissitudes and enlightenment, "This is perhaps what adults call 'you have to give something to get something'! It's the growth we need to experience!"

"……"

The others looked speechlessly at Asuma, who had suddenly become philosophical.

As expected.

There was a reason Asuma's cultural class grade was failing!

And the honest Might Guy… also fell silent for a moment, then his whole body trembled as if he understood something. He said with a serious tone, "Youth is not only filled with light, but also hides darkness."

"So, you…" Asuma looked at Might Guy in shock, his eyes filled with admiration, thinking You're truly f*ing brave.

Before he could finish speaking.

"Darkness is not scary!" Might Guy's body was filled with passion. He clenched his fist, squeezed his butt, and it seemed like flames were erupting from him. "As long as you face the darkness directly, don't turn your back on it!"

"……"

That made sense.

Asuma and the others looked at Guy with complex expressions.

Guy had changed too!

He had become smarter!

And at this moment.

Just as everyone was wondering what Obito had gone through, a loud explosion suddenly came from the stage.

The crowd couldn't help but look up, and even the surrounding spectators watched in shock. Upon seeing the powerful, almost tangible, deep chakra, they were instantly startled.

The shinobi who understood immediately guessed what it was.

No wonder the Cloud shinobi girl wasn't afraid of Konoha's genius, Uchiha Obito, who struck fear into all enemies, and chose to face the challenge head-on. So it was...

"Tailed Beast Chakra?!" Kushina, beside them, was stunned, frowning, and said in a low voice, "This is the chakra of the Two-Tails. The Nine-Tails said Obito is in danger."

As soon as she spoke.

Uchiha Fugaku looked at her with shock in his pupils, but after a moment, he ignored it, acting as if nothing had happened, and calmly watched the match.

Fugaku shrugged and continued watching below. After a short while, he seemed to remember something, looked up at Minato again, hesitated, and said softly, "Trust me, you should change your hairstyle next time!"

If Obito used that move like Naruto.

Oh my god, she's a girl!

"..."

What did he mean?

Minato looked at Fugaku, confused, but seeing that Fugaku didn't explain, he didn't have the mind to ask now. He turned back and looked down below with some worry.

He had initially worried that the Cloud shinobi girl would be [injured]. He didn't expect her to be a Jinchuriki like Kushina, and she seemed to be able to control Tailed Beast Chakra. Now... he started to worry if Obito would be injured.

He watched the scene below intently, his face serious. If there was any danger, he would act quickly. No matter how much Obito changed, Obito was... his student after all!

However.

When Minato saw Obito calmly take out a kunai and calmly tie an explosive tag onto it, his eyelids twitched, and the corner of his mouth twitched. "He's not going to..."

Before he could finish his sentence.

His expression changed, and he quickly rushed down. The other Konoha shinobi nearby, seeing the scene below, also seemed to realize something, their expressions changed, and they rushed down as well.

This guy is really... Damn it!

Time shifted back a few minutes.

On the stage.

Obito looked at the terrifying chakra, feeling a bit panicked inside. But in his Sharingan, no enemy could defeat him.

So.

He took a deep breath and dodged the Cloud shinobi's attack, which had clearly increased in speed.

"Shameless, pervert, vulgar!" Yugito Nii, who seemed to be wearing an outfit made of chakra and emitting a faint blue glow, glared at Uchiha Obito. "I, Yugito Nii, will never lose to someone like you!"

As she finished speaking.

She charged forward fiercely!

Facing that terrifying chakra, Uchiha Obito showed no weakness. He activated his single-tomoe Sharingan and arrogantly said, "When you face these eyes, you have already lost!"

However.

How to deal with that tangible chakra!

Even if he used his unfinished ninjutsu, he probably couldn't break through that defense, and the chakra seemed to be getting stronger!

Finally.

He reached for the kunai at his waist.

Obito remembered the move he often used against strong enemies. He seemed to understand something and directly pulled out his kunai and explosive tag.

Yugito Nii saw his actions and sneered dismissively, "Explosive tags can't break my current defense!"

After saying that, she charged forward again, extending her right hand, which seemed to have transformed into a beast's claw. "Meow claws!"

"Is that so?" Uchiha Obito stepped back, dodging the attack, the corner of his mouth slightly curved, exuding confidence. He made a hand seal. "I told you! When I use these eyes, you've already lost!"

As he finished speaking.

Shadow Clone Jutsu!

Three Uchiha Obitos charged forward.

"Don't joke around, you shameless guy!" Yugito Nii roared, directly shattering one of the shadow clones. "How could I possibly lose to a pervert like you!"

"Bang!"

A shadow clone shattered.

But Obito didn't care at all. He cooperated with another Obito, seizing the opening, and directly grabbed one Obito, throwing it towards the sky!

At this moment.

In the blink of an eye, Yugito Nii reappeared in front of another Obito. The Obito in the air used the Shadow Clone Jutsu again, quickly descending and appearing behind her!

Obito's stance was a low bow, his hands tightly gripping the kunai, and he said calmly, "You! Have already lost!"

As he finished speaking.

Yugito Nii's face was filled with horror, and she didn't have time to turn around.

Obito took a deep breath, and just as he was about to surge forward.

"Whoosh!"

As everyone held their breath, watching this intense battle.

Three figures suddenly appeared on the stage.

One figure rushed back and hugged Obito, another snatched Obito's kunai, and the last one... Minato, wearing his mask, twitched the corner of his eye and stood between the two, looking helplessly at Yugito Nii, who was still in shock. "You win, Cloud Ninja! Stand down!"

As he spoke.

"Huh?" x2

Two faces were utterly bewildered, and even more bewildered faces filled the stage!

What was going on?!

My data is really bad. After the last recommendation slot, I was ranked last. If I can't advance in this recommendation slot, I might... have to run naked. Sigh, even a salted fish is panicking! Every time I see this data, I feel self-doubt and hesitation! If you think it's good, please show some support!

Is it that nobody is reading this anymore? Do they all prefer war and showing off?
