Encouragement

"Lord Hokage, do you mean that after I awaken the Sharingan, I'll be able to become just like you~"

Obito Uchiha wasn't concerned with how old Gu Sheng had been when he became a Jonin. What he cared about more was how quickly Gu Sheng had advanced after awakening the Sharingan.

"Obito, don't get carried away..."

The first person to pour cold water on Obito was unexpectedly the usually taciturn Kakashi.

"Shut up, Kakashi..."

Obito naturally shouted back, and the two began their usual bickering.

"Sorry for the trouble, my lords. Obito and Kakashi have a very good relationship. It's just that..."

Rin Nohara kept bowing beside them. She wasn't a violent girl like Sakura and couldn't simply beat Obito up to make him quiet.

Minato also laughed and tried to smooth things over. Having noticed the look on Gu Sheng's face, he knew Gu Sheng wasn't angry, so he didn't stop his two students from carrying on with their usual bickering.

Normally, when Obito started this kind of quarrel, Kakashi was too lazy to respond. But perhaps today's stimulation had been too great, and even Kakashi's cold personality seemed to have changed a little!

Gu Sheng watched the scene with a faint smile, merely sighing at how wonderful youth was. Who could have known that, in the original timeline, these four people from one team would produce two Hokage, the fuse that ignited a world war among ninjas, and a madman who bore countless burdens and dared to declare war on the entire shinobi world?

Beside Gu Sheng, Tsunade, Mei Daizi, Chu Xin, and Liu Daimei were all somewhat surprised. They could be said to understand Gu Sheng fairly well. Even though Tsunade hadn't seen him for many years, she could still sense that his personality hadn't changed much.
