He shook his head. He didn't think there was anything wrong with what he had said. Grandmaster's strength was far too profound; even he, hailed as Konoha's number one genius, had no confidence in surpassing him.
Let alone Obito.
Of course, Kakashi himself did not acknowledge that "number one genius" title.
"Forget it. I'm going back to rest. I still have training tomorrow."
With a rare vacation, Kakashi could finally relax a little.
The moment he left the Trial Tower, he saw a green-clad figure heading away.
Kakashi immediately slowed down, preparing to slip away quietly.
But Might Guy still stopped him.
"Kakashi! I haven't seen you in so long! My rival!"
