"Rin, stop laughing. This time, it's for real!"
The moment Hikawa entered the classroom, he heard Obito Uchiha's voice.
"What's for real?"
Hatake Kakashi stepped forward and asked casually.
Thanks to Hikawa's explanation along the way, the knot in his heart concerning Hatake Sakumo had mostly been untied.
"Hikawa, Kakashi, and Kurenai, good morning."
A faint smile appeared on Rin Nohara's face.
Obito Uchiha froze slightly without thinking.
Why had she greeted Hikawa first?
He hurriedly shook his head. I'm overthinking it. It's just a greeting. It doesn't mean anything.
"Obito just said that a new Uchiha student will be enrolling this year, and he's even stronger than Kakashi."
Rin Nohara's lips curved upward as she spoke.
"He really is stronger than Kakashi!"
Obito Uchiha emphasized.

"What does Uchiha Tekka even count for? He wouldn't last a minute against him."
Obito Uchiha said proudly, "Even our clan head calls him a genius the Uchiha Clan only sees once in ten years. He's no worse than me!"
"..."
Hatake Kakashi thought, I might have believed you if you hadn't added that last part, but now it's hard to believe.
"What's his name?"
Rin Nohara asked curiously.
"Uchiha Shisui!"
Obito Uchiha gave a light snort and declared with utter certainty, "You'll all hear his name soon enough!"
So it was Uchiha Shisui?
Hikawa's heart stirred.
This time, Obito Uchiha was actually more or less right.
Uchiha Shisui awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan even earlier than Uchiha Itachi and gained the ocular technique Kotoamatsukami.
During the Third Shinobi World War, he earned the title of Body Flicker Shisui. His name was known throughout the Ninja World.
Even Ao, a jonin from Kirigakure, had
