Mortifying.
Utterly mortifying.
Even when he was late to class and the teacher asked, in front of everyone, why he was late again, he had never felt this mortified.
Sarutobi Asuma still did not quite understand. Seeing Uchiha Obito looking utterly humiliated and furious, he stepped forward, scratched his head, and asked, "Obito, what's wrong?"
"I..." Uchiha Obito started to speak, stopped, then started again. In the end, he dejectedly curled up on the ground, like an eggplant wilted by frost.
Seeing him like that, Nohara Rin walked over, crouched beside him, and gently patted his head.
"You weren't bragging again, were you?" Sarutobi Asuma asked suspiciously.
"Obito said he'd seen the powerful person who caused the explosions and lightning near the village yesterday. He said they were a very, very strong ninja."
Might Guy spoke from the side.
He looked somewhat dejected as well.
Hearing that, Sarutobi Asuma burst out laughing. "Hahaha, Obito!"
"The one who caused all that commotion yesterday was Yuichi! And you actually said something like that!"
"Didn't see that coming, did you? Hahaha!"
He clutched his stomach, laughing so hard he could barely catch his breath. Then he moved beside Yuki Yuichi and gave him a thumbs-up. "Yuichi, you're amazing!"
Uchiha Obito shut down completely, but Nohara Rin looked at them in surprise and asked doubtfully, "Didn't Yuichi just arrive?"
"How did you know those two ninjutsu from yesterday were developed by Yuichi?"
Her confusion was also Uchiha Obito and Might Guy's confusion.
Hearing her question, Kakashi Hatake stood up from the ground nearby, wooden sword in hand, and said, "My father told me."
"When the first ninjutsu erupted yesterday, my father went over there."
"He found out Yuichi had developed the ninjutsu and told me when he got home."
He did not mention that
