Konoha School.

"Um, haha, thank you so much for yesterday, Rin." The little boy wearing goggles thanked the girl beside him, flustered.

"Heehee, it's nothing." Rin put her hands behind her back, her face beaming with a youthful and lively smile. "But Obito, you have to get here earlier next time. Don't be like yesterday and miss the registration."

Obito nodded repeatedly like a pecking chicken, then racked his brain for a topic. "Um, Rin, I was late yesterday. Can you tell me about the other classmates?"

"Of course." Rin walked closer to Obito and whispered introductions. "This is Suzuki, that's Iwai..."

However, Rin clearly didn't notice that a certain pervert wasn't listening to her at all, and was instead staring at her profile with a dreamy expression.

"Hehe, Rin looks so pretty when she blushes." Obito thought foolishly, then felt struck by lightning. "Wait, Rin is blushing because of another guy!"

Obito quickly snapped back to reality. "Rin, you were talking too fast just now. I didn't hear clearly. Who was the previous classmate?"

"It's Kakashi," Rin said, looking in a certain direction and lowering her head shyly.

"As expected, Rin is blushing because of that white-haired kid!" Obito's face instantly elongated, and he said sourly, "Besides being a little more handsome than me, he doesn't seem that special."

"No, that's not it," Rin said, gently wiggling her finger. "When I registered yesterday, a teacher said that Kakashi is a genius whose talent is not inferior to Soseki from the previous batch!"

"Soseki... I think I've heard that name somewhere..." Obito mumbled. Just as he was about to ask for more details, a commotion suddenly erupted from the other side.

"You brat, how dare you bump into me? Do you look down on us seniors!"

"I didn't!"

"Ha, so you're saying I bumped into you on purpose?"

"That's not what I meant."

"Then you bumped into me on purpose. Pay up, or don't blame me for teaching you the dignity of a senior."

Obito looked towards the sound and saw several people dressed like delinquents surrounding a student with a bowl cut, yelling at him.

Rin gasped softly, "That's Might Guy! Oh no, those guys are bullies from the fourth grade. They love picking on newcomers."

"What? The bowl cut is in danger?" Hearing that a classmate was being surrounded, Obito's blood immediately boiled, and he rushed forward.

"Obito, wait!" Rin shouted urgently and followed him.

"Another newcomer stepping up for someone else? Could it be another monster like Shimizu Soseki?" Thinking of the tragic experience last year, the delinquents' expressions soured.

"To think a new classmate is helping me on the first day! Dad was right, this is the passionate youth!" Might Guy shouted, tears streaming down his face, and gave Obito a thumbs-up.

Obito shivered, feeling that this bowl-cut guy was a bit strange.

Seeing the other party's fiery gaze, Obito quickly shifted his attention to the delinquents. "You guys, don't bully him."

On the other side, the delinquents were quietly exchanging opinions.

"I heard there's a monster newcomer named Kakashi Hatake among the new students this year. Could it be him?"

"Really? But why does this kid feel so dumb?"

"You can't say that. Isn't the strength of that idiot Uchiha Shūnen quite high?"

"That makes sense. Let's test them first."

After their discussion, one of the delinquents stepped forward and said, "Kakashi Hatake, don't..."

"Excuse me for interrupting, but I'm Kakashi," a white-haired boy who had been calmly watching the show said from the side.

"Wait, then who is he..."

"You damn brats, remember this! My name is Uchiha Obito!" Obito felt severely insulted and shouted loudly.

"Uchiha?"

"Obito?"

The delinquents exchanged glances, then turned around with a sinister grin.

"Hmph, let me show you the power of the Uchiha!"

Obito secretly glanced at Rin, then roared and charged forward, only to be GG'd.

In just one exchange, Obito was already pinned underfoot.

"Such weak strength! To help me with such weak strength, it's truly moving!" Might Guy shouted tearfully from the side.

Obito was almost angered to death. "You idiot, I, I just accidentally fell."

Everyone twitched their mouths speechlessly. Could you really fall under someone else's feet?

"Don't be afraid, I'll save you!"

After another exchange, Might Guy and Obito were both pinned underfoot side-by-side.

"I thought the new students this year were supposed to be amazing, but this is it?"

"If you don't have the strength, don't act tough like others."

The surrounding new students were all angry but didn't dare to retort.

Many people secretly looked at Kakashi, hoping that the strongest newcomer mentioned by the teacher would step forward for them.

Unfortunately, the latter didn't even seem interested in moving his feet.

Just then, a slightly deep voice came from afar, "Kenjin, Ryota, you're bullying your classmates again!"

Hearing this voice, the group of delinquents gritted their teeth and shouted, "Uchiha Shūnen, why are you always bothering us?"

"Because I want to be a good person now!"

"Damn it, we'll fight you!"

The delinquents charged forward, and the delinquents were defeated.

"Such strong power!" Kakashi, who had been indifferent until now, also showed a flicker of surprise in his eyes.

Obito shouted joyfully, "That's Shūnen-niichan, isn't he amazing!"

Might Guy nodded seriously, then asked doubtfully, "Are you all from the Uchiha Clan? Why are you so weak?"

Obito felt like his lungs were about to explode. He stared intently at Might Guy, and after a long moment, he blurted out, "I'm still young, is that not enough?"

After performing his good deed for the day, Shūnen suddenly looked towards where Kakashi was. "I heard before that there's someone among the new students with talent similar to Soseki, but it seems you're far inferior to him now."

Kakashi frowned. "How can you know without fighting?"

Shūnen shook his head, his face filled with reverence. "No, the outcome is already decided, because your capacity is not as great as his."

Obito had crept over at some point and asked curiously, "Capacity?"

Shūnen praised him earnestly, "If it were Soseki, he would definitely step forward. He only sees himself, but Soseki sees this world!"

Although Kakashi felt a bit annoyed, he couldn't be bothered to refute.

Obito, on the other hand, grinned broadly. "Haha, so my capacity is also greater than his?"

Shūnen hesitated for a moment. "No, you probably just don't think things through."

Seeing Obito's crestfallen expression, Rin stepped forward to smooth things over. "Shūnen-senpai, thank you for helping us."

Shūnen's gaze was calm. "Don't mention it. Doing good deeds before challenging him can also strengthen my own resolve!"

Having witnessed Shūnen's power and then suddenly hearing this news, Might Guy excitedly ran over and asked, "Shūnen-senpai, who are you going to challenge?"

Shūnen took a deep breath. "It's the person who guided me out of my mistakes, Shimizu Soseki!"

Thanks to Shenma Doushi Wuyun Piaopiao for the 1000 reward, Fenfei Luanxuexin for the 200 reward, Sasword for the 200 reward, Jiangzy for the 100 reward, A~Qian for the 100 reward, Haidao Daohai Wubianji for the 100 reward, Juzi Zhengqibō for the 100 reward, and Tiantangboy Suhang for the 100 reward.
