Intervention
"Bang!"
Before Shiro could finish speaking, Obito on the table and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Rin and I will help him find it, right? Rin."
"Sigh~ Sit down, Obito. We're still early, we haven't thought about that much yet."
"It's getting late. If we drag this out any longer, someone else will snatch it away. Being close to the source gives you an advantage." After saying that, Shiro glanced around at Rin, Obito, Guy, and Kakashi.
I couldn't help but feel sorry for their messy love lives, but due to the 404 error, I can't go into details, otherwise it would just be another filler article.
Okay, back to the main text
"That's why I told you not to pay him any attention; he's like this all the time."
"Is that so? But Brother Shiro, can Kakashi really fight you to a draw? Hmm~ I guess that means 'evenly matched'?"
"Yes, that's right. This kid is quite strong. Actually, I'm not that much older than you guys. The difference between you and me is just in secret techniques and combat experience."
"Therefore, without using your trump card, it's quite easy for you to tie with me."
"That's still very impressive."
"."
And just like that, lunchtime was over.
Because Shiro had something to discuss with Sakumo, he didn't continue training with Dai, but instead went home with Kakashi.
After all, I've already bothered Dai for the whole morning, so it would be a bit embarrassing to go again. Sparring with Shiro would only benefit Shiro more than Dai.
Therefore, Shiro decided to train on his own in the afternoon, figuring that Sakumo would still be short on time and probably wouldn't be able to guide him.
Sure enough, when Shiro and the others arrived at Kakashi's house, Sakumo had not yet returned.
Kakashi glanced around the room, shrugged at Shiro, and said, "Looks like you won't see Father until tonight. Of course, you can also go to the Anbu to find him."
"Ah, well, let's talk about it tonight. It's not urgent anyway. Come on, let's go inside and talk about your matter." With that, Shiro led Kakashi towards the backyard.
"Sit down. First, tell me why you want to graduate early. Don't talk about proving yourself; you know, the teacher doesn't care about that." After arriving in the backyard, Shiro sat on the steps and patted the floor as he spoke.
"The reason? Nothing much, I just feel like I'm not learning anything at school anymore."
"Can't you learn it? Ha, I see. Well, let me tell you about my situation first, and then you'll understand why I'm letting you stay in school for now."
Kakashi glanced at him curiously, but didn't disturb him. He only knew a little about Shiro's situation because he was afraid of touching on Shiro's sore spot; after all, cannon fodder was still a bit...
"Phew, as you know, I was forced to graduate by the village. To put it simply, I was sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder. Of course, I don't hate the village, and what I'm about to say has nothing to do with the village."
"What I'm trying to say is that I only spent a year in school, and my situation was similar to yours. Of course, I wasn't as outstanding as you, but I also believe that schools can't teach what I want to learn."
"So, I skipped class every day to train and cause trouble with your sister Kushina. You could say that during that time, I had no friends except for your sister Kushina."
"After graduation, I formed a team with Chosuke, which was a way of finding some camaraderie among classmates. But as you know, I was later transferred out of that team and rejoined Taichi and the others."
"Actually, it's alright here, because we still keep in touch occasionally. However, since I was promoted to Chunin, we rarely see each other anymore, because it always feels awkward when we do meet."
"After that, they would sometimes deliberately avoid me when they saw me, but I understand. After all, they are all young and care about their image, which is normal. However, it is true that our relationship has become distant because of this."
"So Kakashi, you're actually very lucky. You didn't have to graduate, and you showed your talent. Therefore, your classmates are all geniuses. They are the ones who can truly walk with you to the end of the ninja way."
"Therefore, I do not recommend that you graduate now; you still have many friends worth cherishing."
"But a ninja."
"But you are a person first, and a ninja second. Times have changed, Kakashi. Ninjas are no longer just beings who know only assassination."
"We should change. Isn't this Third Hokage have been teaching us?"
"Then study"
"Don't forget, your father is a renowned powerhouse in the Shinobi World. Do you think he'll lack teachings for you?"
"Of course, this is just my suggestion. The decision is yours, and I won't interfere. I respect your choice."
Kakashi thought about it seriously for a moment and said, "You're right, but I still..."
Before he could finish speaking, Shiro interrupted him with narrowed eyes, saying, "However, I will be your examiner, you understand."
Kakashi stared at Shiro with dead fish eyes.
"You must have another reason for letting me stay at school, right? Tell me, what is it?"
"Haha, as expected of Kakashi. I want you to keep an eye on Obito for me. It would be best if you could become friends with him. No need to make a fuss, just normal contact is fine. That idiot is easy to get along with."
"Why? Is there anything special about that idiot?"
"He's too dangerous." Shiro's expression turned serious as he said this.
"The Uchiha Clan is a cursed clan. The Second Hokage wasn't wrong about that. The specifics are hard to say, but you just need to know that once their power awakens, it will be terrifying! Jonin have no chance against them!"
"This... can't be right?"
"Unbelievable, isn't it? But it's true. I found this in some old books, in that pile of worn-out books in the library, the ones nobody reads. You can look at them too."
"Although this power has strict conditions, unfortunately, Obito possessed all of them, and after awakening, their minds are prone to going to extremes."
"He's easily manipulated, so I hope you can lend him a hand at a crucial moment. If that really happens, you're the only one who can wake him up."
However, Kakashi was so shocked by Obito's potential that he didn't hear Shiro's last words.
Of course, this is just one of Shiro's preparations. After all, the Third Shinobi World War is still several years away, and Shiro's appearance may even lead to an earlier or later date. Madara's plans will definitely change.
However, the choice is uncertain. After all, there are not many people in the Uchiha who value both emotions and talent like Obito. Therefore, this is also the first step for Shiro to challenge Madara. Of course, it could also be the Sage of Six Paths.
However, all of this is just preparation by Shiro. He removed this reason from Kakashi's mind. What he told him before was the most important thing: friendship is very important to him.
In particular, Shiro's current strength is not strong enough, and that day is slowly approaching.
"Phew~" Shiro stood up and let out a long sigh. "Alright, that's all. Take a rest. This afternoon, I'll go with you to withdraw the application. Let's get used to things for a while first."
"I don't want you to end up like me, without a suitable life at the right time, Kakashi. You and I are different."
