Let's go for a walk together!
Karot approached Kakashi and extended an invitation.
"OK!"
Although Karot had teased them earlier, that's just how the two brothers get along; they'd be fine in no time.
"This place has changed so much!"
"Yes, the Fourth Hokage did an excellent job. He was a qualified Hokage."
Orochimaru has contributed a lot to the development of Konoha in recent years, which Kakashi couldn't help but praise. Sometimes Kakashi would wonder if his teacher could have done even better than Orochimaru.
Konoha's economy is thriving now, and the villagers' incomes are vastly different from before, resulting in Orochimaru's consistently high approval rating. Even if Orochimaru wanted to step down, the villagers wouldn't agree.
"No, your brother has a very good eye for people. He could tell at a glance that Orochimaru- senpai could be a Hokage."
"Karot said smugly."
Kakashi looked at the delighted Karot with utter contempt.
"Don't I know you? Your heart is full of evil. You only support Orochimaru because of the help Orochimaru gave to my father in the past."
Kakashi wouldn't say anything to spoil Karot's fun; he was quite petty after beating his brother.
"My father seems to have aged a lot in the past few years!"
When Karot returned home, he noticed that Hatake Sakumo looked much older.
Kakashi stopped walking. He didn't turn around, his back to Karot, the large tree blocking the sunlight from falling on Kakashi.
"Yes, Father would go to your room every night after you finished sleeping, and he did this every single Tenten from the time you left until you returned."
Kakashi's words were filled with envy for Kakashi. Karot was the Hatake Sakumo's love, Karot although Hatake Sakumo loved him too, he was clearly no match for Karot. After Karot finished developing his talent, Hatake Sakumo Karot been grooming him to become the Clan Head.
"I see!"
After hearing Kakashi finish speaking, Karot thought of Hatake Sakumo's disappointed look every time he didn't see him in his room, and felt very sad.
"My father still looks quite healthy, but signs of aging are starting to appear. He thought I didn't know, but Lin is a doctor at the hospital!"
The profession of ninja inherently requires overexerting one's physical strength, not to mention that Hatake Sakumo had experienced two Ninja World War, leaving his body riddled with injuries and illnesses.
"This time you're back, you probably won't leave again, right?" Kakashi asked, leaning against a tree with his right hand.
"I won't leave, I'll stay here forever."
"That's good. Now it's your turn to take care of Father."
"Kakashi, what are you doing here?"
A loud voice interrupted the brothers' conversation.
Still as energetic as ever, the newcomer is none other than Kakashi's close friend Uchiha Obito.
"Hey, Karot, you're back!"
Obito recognized Karot at a glance, because he had a very deep impression of Karot! Seeing Karot made Obito's stomach ache slightly, after all, Karot's punch when he was a child had given Obito a taste of the harsh realities of life.
"Hello Karot."
Obito and Rin were inseparable; no, it should be said that Obito was always clinging to Rin.
"Rin, long time no see. Oh, and Obito, you too."
Obito watched Karot and Rin chatting and laughing, and couldn't help but feel jealous, because Obito was always shy in front of Rin, but a brat in front of others.
"Karot, I challenge you."
Obito thought he was invincible again. Karot was known as the strongest in Konoha, and if he defeated him, he would become the strongest in Konoha. Then, he would definitely succeed in confessing to Rin.
Obito, whose mind was only Obito Rin, never considered the possibility of losing face in front of her. He never even considered the possibility of defeat. It's truly remarkable that Obito, before his dark transformation, has survived this long!
Kakashi looked at Obito with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot, and involuntarily took a step back to distance himself from this fool, afraid of catching his idiot's 'fool'.
"Are you serious?"
Even Karot was speechless. Had Liang given him too much courage to say such a thing?
Obito saw Karot asking him like that, he thought Carrot was scared, so he straightened his back to prove that he wasn't lying. Even Linla couldn't do anything to him.
"Alright! Let's have a competition."
Why would you refuse a punching bag that's been offered to you?
It was over. Kakashi and Rin shook their heads in silent tribute to Obito.
"Let's go to Training Ground 50! There shouldn't be anyone there right now."
The four of them then headed towards the training ground.
"Kakashi-sensei."
You hear his voice before you see him; Naruto Uzumaki voice is truly powerful!
Kakashi turned his head and saw Naruto and Sasuke shopping with their respective mothers.
Where are you all going?
Kushina asked Kakashi and his group directly.
"Master's wife, Obito wants to challenge my brother, and we're on our way to the training grounds."
Upon hearing that there was something exciting to watch, Naruto's previously gloomy face immediately brightened up.
What should have been a perfectly good holiday was ruined when his mom dragged him out shopping after he beat her up. If it weren't for his mom's fiery personality, Naruto wouldn't have had to suffer like this. Luckily, he had Sasuke, who shared his misery, to suffer with him.
"Mom, let's go take a look!"
Naruto held Kushina's hand and acted coquettishly. Although Sasuke couldn't do the same thing as Naruto, he also longed to finish the fight and look at Mikoto.
"Yes, Madam, please come and see! It'll be more lively with more people."
Uchiha Obito also said that the more people there were, the more excited he became, because that way more people would remember his heroic figure.
Kushina was a person who loved excitement, so she agreed without hesitation. With her best friend agreeing and her son's earnest expectations, Mikoto also nodded in agreement.
"Mom is so good."
A large group of people marched towards training ground number 50.
When everyone arrived at the training ground, it was empty, making it the perfect place for Karot and Obito to duel.
Karot and Obito stood facing each other. Karot looked relaxed, while Obito was serious.
"Kakashi-sensei, who will win between those two?"
"I'm so oblivious, "Naruto asked.
Kakashi was about to speak when he saw everyone staring at him, but a voice suddenly appeared.
"This should be a one-sided victory."
Yellow Flash from Konoha —Jiraiya and the Third Hokage appeared at Training Ground 50.
"I never expected to see Karot make a move!"
The Third Hokage had only ever heard of Karot's power from reports; this was the first time he had witnessed it live.
"Dad, what do you mean by a crushing defeat?"
Seeing the clear stupidity in his son's eyes, Minato Namikaze thought to himself.
"This is my own child."
"Karot is the strongest in Konoha. It shouldn't be said that he's the strongest fighter in the Ninja World."
Minato didn't know why Obito challenged Karot, but he knew his own disciple must have some trump card.
