" Kakashi, come and fight me today!"
Uchiha Obito clenched his fists, looking full of fighting spirit. He had lost at the Ninja Academy last time because of his carelessness, but today's him was completely different from last year's. He would definitely give Kakashi a huge surprise.
"I don't have time. Also, stop bothering me. I'm on a mission right now."
Kakashi's face remained expressionless, but he was wondering why Uchiha Yoichi was late today. Usually, by the time Kakashi arrived here, Yoichi had already been training for quite a while.
However, Kakashi's words didn't make Uchiha Obito give up. He listened attentively in class at the Ninja Academy and trained hard in private, all so he could defeat Kakashi in front of Nohara Rin.
When he imagined Rin looking at him with admiration after he defeated Kakashi, Uchiha Obito couldn't help feeling a surge of excitement. By then, he would have won Rin's admiration.
Thinking of this, Uchiha Obito subconsciously turned to look at Nohara Rin. However, he discovered that Rin was currently gazing at Kakashi with admiration, which immediately filled him with jealousy toward Kakashi.
"Kakashi, come and fight me! This is a challenge between men!"
"Stop pestering me. If you want to fight, wait until you become a Ninja."
Kakashi remained unmoved. Fighting Obito would be inferior to fighting Uchiha Yoichi. At least Uchiha Yoichi had impressive battle records and could kill Jonin, while Uchiha Obito—
Although they were the same age, Kakashi didn't want to bully a child from the Ninja Academy.
Crackle!
A series of faint thunderclaps rang out. A figure wrapped in lightning flickered through the forest several times before appearing in front of Kakashi.
"Kakashi."
The figure arrived first, and the voice followed.
Kakashi Hatake froze, then felt astonished. The person standing before him was none other than Uchiha Yoichi, and his speed left Kakashi's eyes filled with deep shock.
Kakashi had noticed the lightning approaching through the woods just now, but it had been moving too fast—far faster than him.
"I ran into a little trouble today. The mission has changed, so sorry for the trouble, but help me stop the person chasing me."
"Wait. If you don't explain yourself, I won't help you. Besides, changing the mission violates Konoha's mission regulations."
Kakashi decisively refused, then asked curiously, "This is Konoha, and you're an Uchiha. Who's chasing you?"
"Princess Tsunade of the Sannin."
Uchiha Yoichi had originally planned to make up a name and fool Kakashi, but he had forgotten that he was especially honest right now.
"Sorry, but even if my father were here, he probably wouldn't stop Lady Tsunade from coming."
After saying this, Kakashi immediately stepped aside to indicate the way, then continued, "Looks like today's sparring mission will have to wait until tomorrow. I'm heading back first."
"Kakashi, I said I wouldn't ask you anything, so don't take the initiative to ask questions."
That one sentence delayed him a little longer. Uchiha Yoichi had originally wanted Kakashi to use his father Hatake Sakumo's name to draw Tsunade's attention, giving him time to run farther away.
Who would have thought Kakashi's question would waste even more of his time?
Crackle.
Lightning flashed faintly, and the figure vanished from the spot.
Two seconds later, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Kakashi. The beautiful face, bold and spirited air, and distinctive golden hair, combined with what Uchiha Yoichi had said earlier, allowed Kakashi to recognize her instantly.
"Hey, what did that Uchiha brat just say to you?"
"I'm Kakashi Hatake, and I accepted Uchiha Yoichi's sparring request. Yoichi just asked me to stop Lady Tsunade, but I refused."
Facing the visibly angry Sannin, Kakashi answered honestly, without hiding anything.
"Sakumo's son? At least you're honest."
Tsunade turned her head and glanced at the other two people. One of them was another evil Uchiha brat, while the other seemed to be from the Ninja Academy. From the admiration in Nohara Rin's eyes, Tsunade knew that the little girl was her admirer.
However, Tsunade had no time to speak with Rin now. She moved her feet and instantly used the Body Flicker Technique, chasing after Uchiha Yoichi in the direction he had disappeared.
The longer Tsunade failed to catch up with Uchiha Yoichi, the more intense the anger in her heart became. At first, she hadn't wanted to use her full strength inside the village.
She had originally only wanted to ask Uchiha Yoichi about something, but after seeing him, Tsunade suddenly remembered being beaten badly by him, and her tone had become somewhat unpleasant.
But what truly made Tsunade angry and furious was being verbally teased by that lecherous brat afterward.
A Ninja's speed depended on Chakra. Any Body Flicker Technique or rapid movement method required Chakra to support it. As long as one could adapt to the speed at which Chakra flowed through the body, one's speed could increase without limit.
Seeing Uchiha Yoichi getting farther and farther away, Tsunade increased the flow of Chakra through her body once more, instantly doubling her speed.
As the two of them drew closer and closer, Uchiha Yoichi also sensed danger approaching.
Putting aside why Tsunade was calling for him, that one teasing remark alone made Uchiha Yoichi feel that he and Tsunade couldn't possibly have a proper conversation. Moreover, he was still within the duration of his ability and was completely unable to communicate.
He could only take a gamble!
Uchiha Yoichi quickly thought things over and confirmed that Tsunade probably didn't know Sensory Ninjutsu. He then took several Smoke Bombs from his ninja pouch.
He pushed the speed of his Body Flicker Technique to its limit, abruptly changed direction, and threw the Smoke Bombs in his hand.
The next second, three more figures wrapped in lightning emerged from the smoke, moving in different directions.
"Shadow Clones? Are you trying to compete with me in Chakra, you evil Uchiha brat?"
Tsunade sneered when she saw this. She quickly formed the Rat Hand Seal with both hands and created two Shadow Clones as well. The three of them—Tsunade and her two clones—chased after the three Uchiha Yoichis separately.
She wasn't afraid of her Shadow Clones being destroyed. If her Shadow Clones couldn't even deal with one brat, then she wouldn't deserve the title of Sannin.
After Tsunade rapidly chased them away, several dozen seconds passed before the smoke slowly dispersed. Only then did a person-sized boulder let out a bang and dispel its transformation.
He had used the smoke to block Tsunade's vision, preventing her from realizing that an unrelated object had appeared there, while using the Shadow Clones to draw her attention. It had actually worked.
"Fortunately, people who act rashly are so easy to fool. But my Chakra is almost—ugh!"
Before Uchiha Yoichi could finish sighing, the memories of his Shadow Clones were transmitted back to him.
He therefore didn't stay there any longer and immediately turned to leave.
A minute later, Tsunade finally returned along the same route, but by then she could no longer find Uchiha Yoichi.
Realizing that she had been tricked by a brat—and one from the Uchiha Clan at that—Tsunade was instantly overcome by shame and anger.
"Second Grandfather was right!"
Swish, swish!
Two Anbu appeared beside Tsunade using the Body Flicker Technique. They then respectfully said to her, "Lady Tsunade, Lord Hokage is looking for you!"
"I know, I know! This Old Man calls people over for every little thing. Doesn't he have anything serious to do?"
Tsunade spoke unhappily. She didn't even need to guess what her Sensei wanted with her. He was making such a huge fuss over something so trivial.
