"I'm not the Uchiha dead last! I ranked third in the last practical exam!"
Seeing that Kakashi's impression of him was still stuck in the time before he started learning from Mu Yue, Obito immediately revealed his previous exam results.
"If third place counts as dead last, then wouldn't there only be two people in the whole grade who aren't dead last? Besides, I was careless last time. I'll definitely be first next time!" Obito said indignantly.
Kakashi paused slightly. Third in the grade obviously did not count as dead last. Thinking about Obito's performance in the Youth Ninjutsu Tournament, he felt that third place was quite normal.
