Early in the morning, Kakashi finished breakfast and asked Nohara Rin to train with him at the place where they had tested Milotic's abilities before.
Kakashi felt that both he and Rockruff needed a period of relatively grueling special training to improve their strength.
Kakashi was currently in an awkward position. He was stronger than Obito and Shisui, but still a considerable distance behind Might Guy.
Chakra reserves were not something that could be resolved in a short time, but he could improve his technique, conserve what he had, and make every bit of Chakra spent more valuable.
As for Rockruff, Kakashi felt that with a little more training, it might be able to evolve.
After all, Feebas and Charmander, which had hatched later, had both evolved. It was about time for his Rockruff.
"I'm going too," Obito said immediately after hearing this.
How could he possibly feel at ease with Kakashi and Nohara Rin training alone together?
What if Kakashi took advantage of his absence to show off in front of Nohara Rin and win her favor?
"Are you sure? You still have a match tomorrow. Aren't you afraid it'll affect your performance?" Kakashi reminded him.
Obito was not stuck at some bottleneck. He was simply behind in strength. Let alone one more day of training, even another week would not help.
"Don't tell me you're planning to use being out of condition as an excuse when you lose?" Kakashi looked at Obito suspiciously.
"Kakashi, your thoughts are way too twisted!" Obito rebuked loudly. "The match doesn't start until tomorrow afternoon. Even if I train until tonight, I'll still have half a day to rest. How could it affect anything?"
"I was only saying," Kakashi replied blandly, his calm expression seeming to say, Why are you getting so worked
