Rin Nohara: Don't Speak About Him, Obito!

What kind of bizarre fighting position was this...?

Everyone stared blankly at Rin Nohara and Seisui, silent yet utterly honest as they kept staring.

From the spectators' perspective, Rin Nohara looked like a wife long separated from her husband, running over in excitement and throwing herself into Seisui's arms like a little bird returning to its nest...

Iruka Umino blinked, feeling as though he had fallen under a Genjutsu.

Kakashi Hatake held a short blade in his hand, equally stunned. Only after a moment did he frown and mutter, "A one-handed Genjutsu? How is that possible...?"

He thought of the hand seal Seisui had formed before spreading his arms.

"No, was that the Sharingan...?"

Kakashi dismissed the absurd thought the next moment, but he could not see anything unusual in Seisui's perfectly normal eyes either. Other than being handsome, they seemed to have no distinctive traits.

The bystanders were shocked, Kakashi was thinking, Shisui wore an auntie smile, and Seisui was holding Rin Nohara...

But within this tiny training ground, there was one special presence who had completely lost it!

"You, you, you!!"

"Seisui Uchiha, you damned dead last, let go of Rin right now!!!"

Obito watched helplessly as the girl he liked, whom he would blush just approaching, plunged straight into Seisui's embrace.

At first, his mind went blank as he worried that Rin Nohara had made a mistake. But what happened next allowed a fierce rage to consume his thoughts, nearly setting his entire body ablaze.

Obito glared murderously as his hand reached for his ninja tool pouch...

"Don't move." Kakashi appeared before Obito in a Body Flicker, short blade in hand and expression indifferent. He said coldly, "The match isn't over yet. As the examiner, I'll deal with anyone disrupting order at the venue."

"Kakashi, you bastard, Rin is being held by someone else! How, how am I supposed to stay calm?!" Obito panted heavily, but the icy short blade at his neck reminded him that Kakashi was not joking.

"Shut up." Kakashi's gaze was calm. "If you can't even follow basic discipline, then leave the examination grounds."

The savagery in Obito's eyes intensified.

Meanwhile, Rin Nohara, held in Seisui's arms, also realized the awkwardness of her situation. Passively feeling his solid body, the outstanding female ninja became somewhat flustered.

Still, Rin Nohara remained remarkably calm as she slowly moved her hand toward her ninja tool pouch, looking innocently into Seisui's eyes. "I, I..."

Seisui smiled and lifted Rin Nohara's chin with his index finger. On his curled middle finger clung humming Water Release Chakra, its damp mist soaking the area around her throat.

"Rin, you're a very capable ninja. Even in this situation, you're still thinking of a way to win..."

Seisui spoke to Rin with a smile, his other hand clasping her small hand and covering her ninja tool pouch together with it.

"A pleasant match, wasn't it?"

Seisui looked into Rin Nohara's eyes. His beautiful black pupils seemed to carry a blood-colored charm, while the Tomoe concealed by the technique slowly rotated. His Dojutsu and appearance became one, stirring the girl's heart.

Rin Nohara's face visibly reddened as she felt the warmth of Seisui's palm, the ticklish sensation of her lifted chin, and the tension of having a water blade threatening her throat...

Gentle, mysterious, powerful, and beautiful... those were the impressions of Seisui currently surfacing in Rin Nohara's mind.

With all these wonderful sensations mixed together, Rin Nohara felt her heartbeat accelerate faster and faster. After a moment, she finally said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's hum, her face red:

"Seisui-kun, thank you. I surrender."

"What are you thanking me for? I told you already, this was a pleasant match..."

Seisui slowly released Rin Nohara, then suddenly smiled at her apologetically. A warm green glow emerged from his index finger and gently brushed across her throat.

Rin Nohara froze. Hadn't she already said she surrendered? Why was he still...

But for some reason, Rin Nohara did not retreat. Instead, she allowed Seisui to continue, merely watching him with her beautiful eyes full of confusion, seemingly unable to understand why...

"Sorry, Rin. I still can't fully control the water blade, so I scratched your skin a little."

"I'm very interested in Medical Ninjutsu. Let me treat the wound for you, since I caused it."

"Eh, Seisui-kun, you're interested in Medical Ninjutsu too?" Light lit up in Rin Nohara's eyes. Feeling the Medical Ninjutsu at Seisui's fingertips with a slight furrow of her brow, she softly exclaimed:

"Amazing, Seisui-kun, you're amazing!"

Seisui smiled helplessly. "I'm four years older than you, Rin. I've just practiced more often, that's all."

"I believe you'll definitely become a Medical Ninja far better than me in the future. If you're interested, you're welcome to visit my home. I have some insights into Chakra control, thanks to the books my grandfather left behind. They may be of help to you."

"Wow, really, Seisui-kun? Thank you so much!" Rin Nohara said excitedly. As a child from a civilian family, what she lacked most was precisely this kind of valuable knowledge.

"Ahem... Seisui, are you ready to face your next opponent?"

Iruka Umino deliberately coughed twice with a serious expression. Though he also enjoyed watching this scene brimming with youthful energy, the match still had to continue.

The scene of Seisui and Rin Nohara's battle had actually made this middle-aged man smile like an auntie for the first time in ages, reminding him of his own youth.

As for the other students, most of the boys looked at Seisui with complicated admiration, while the girls held a trace of envy as well.

What kind of luck was this?

Rin Nohara seemed to have lost, but she had won herself a Chakra control manual, and perhaps even something more...

For example, a romance with the low-key genius of a great clan?

Kakashi gave Seisui a complicated look, then slowly withdrew the short blade from Obito's neck. "Don't let there be a next time. For a ninja, discipline always comes first."

Obito panted heavily, seemingly not hearing a word Kakashi said.

Just then.

Rin Nohara returned, a conspicuous blush on her face. She immediately stared without blinking at Seisui's figure, forgetting even to greet Kakashi and Obito beside her.

"Rin, are you okay? That guy is awful!" Obito suppressed the emotions in his head that seemed ready to explode, forcing out an ugly smile as he tried to comfort Rin Nohara.

"Don't talk nonsense, Obito. Seisui-kun is a gentle and powerful person..." Rin Nohara shot Obito a dissatisfied glare and spoke sternly.

Obito's breathing grew increasingly rapid. A dense layer of blood-red color surfaced in his eyes, and the black Tomoe in them began spinning violently.

Just then.

A cold notification sounded in Seisui's mind.

Detected intense jealousy and anger from Obito Uchiha toward the host. Bound as Target of Confrontation!

I'll adjust the update schedule later. I'll release two chapters directly at noon. Some readers said separate updates were annoying to read, so Xiao Fan will change it right away!

I'm going back to writing!
