Obito scratched his head. "Hehe, Rin, Grandmaster gave me a day off, so I invited you all out too. I'll show Hatake around Konoha properly."
Rin nodded. "I see. Sounds good. There are plenty of fun places in Konoha. How about we watch a stream first?"
"What is a stream?" Hatake did not quite understand this world's specialized terminology. He had never heard the word "stream" before.
Rin enthusiastically gave him a simple explanation. "When someone is clearing stages in the Trial Tower, the images inside can be projected outside. Everyone can watch in the arena. That's called a stream."
"How about it? It's pretty interesting, right? Watching a stream beforehand can help prepare you for the Trial Tower this afternoon."
Hatake was impressed despite not fully understanding. "All right, then I'll listen to Rin. Shall we go watch a stream?"
He looked to Obito and Kakashi as if asking for their opinions. The two of them followed Rin's lead in everything, so naturally, they had no objections.
"Sure, I'm fine with anything. We've been there before anyway. This time, we're just accompanying Hatake."
"Me too."
Rin snapped her fingers. "Great! Then it's decided. Let's go to the arena."
The four of them reached the arena before long. By now, the hype surrounding the Trial Tower had gradually settled down.
As a result, far fewer people came to the Trial Tower to watch streams than at the beginning.
Still, the number of spectators remained consistently high, though anyone who came could find a seat.
The four found seats in a spot with a fairly good view.
"Oh, what a coincidence! Hogen's streaming today! No wonder there are so many people."
As Obito spoke, the other three looked at the screen as well. Sure enough, the figure on it was Hogen.
