Yellow Flash

Konoha

At the Ninja Academy, all students graduate early and are divided into classes.

Ninja Academy primarily train ninjas from the commoner class, with only a very small number being descendants of powerful ninja clans. Ninja clan descendants mostly have their own traditional training methods.

Those from powerful ninja clans who attend Ninja Academy are either geniuses or outstanding members of their clans, coming to the Ninja Academy to make their presence felt.

Either they failed the ranking within their ninja clan and were sent to the Ninja Academy to fend for themselves.

Uchiha Obito a little anxious. He had been waiting for his name to be called for class assignments for a long time, but it hadn't come. Fortunately, Nohara Rin hadn't been assigned to another team, which made Obito feel a little more at ease.

"I still have a chance! Lin, I hope we can be assigned together!"

Obito closed his eyes and mumbled a prayer.

"Team 7, Uchiha Obito"

The teacher on the stage, holding a list, finally called out Obito's name.

"Nohara Rin"

After a pause, the teacher read out the second name.

"Ah! I really did break up with Lin!"

Obito stood up excitedly, waving his arms and legs; his prayers seemed to have worked.

Obito was overjoyed to be in the same class as Obito Nohara Rin, whom he had been longing for.

"Obito! Keep quiet!"

Seeing Obito's silly, gesticulating manner, the Chunin teacher couldn't help but roar.

Obito realized what was happening and seemed a little carried away. He quickly sat down when he heard the teacher's words.

"Obito, I'll be relying on you from now on."

Nohara Rin smiled gently beside her.

In Konoha Ninja, most female ninjas are trained to be medical-nin.

Previously, ninja teams consisted of three people per squad. Later, after Tsunade, one of the Sannin Tsunade, proposed and approved the addition of a medical-nin, the teams consisted of four adults per squad.

"Don't worry, Lin, I'll protect you!"

Obito was very happy to be with Rin, but upon hearing Nohara Rin's words, Obito silly grin faded slightly, and he solemnly promised.

Nohara Rin's eyes crinkled into a gentle smile. Obito's face flushed slightly Obito seeing Nohara Rin's smile.

"Teacher, why are there only two people in our class? Where is the third one?"

Team 7 only had two people. Nohara Rin looked at Obito's silly expression and asked the Chunin teacher with a slight smile.

Chunin- sensei adjusted his glasses and explained:

"Your team has three people. You'll meet your teammates when your instructor arrives shortly."

Obito finally came to his senses. Obito hadn't noticed any of these details. Obito cheeks flushed red, and he rubbed his hands together, muttering to himself in a somewhat lewd manner.

"Alright, please wait patiently in the classroom. Your teacher will come to pick you up shortly."

The Chunin teacher took a deep look at the students who had graduated early, as if trying to remember their voices and appearances.

He glanced at Obito a few more times, and after a long while, the Chunin teacher sighed softly and turned to leave.

Security Department Headquarters

In the Captain-Commander's office, Naraku stroked his chin, pondering the matter of the Genin graduating early and Obito's situation.

Naraku graduated early from the Ninja Academy. The class assignments were arranged by the Ministry of Department of Education, Naraku had no way of knowing the specifics.

However, according to Naraku's memories, Obito, at nine years old, should have graduated Genin.

His teacher, barring any unforeseen circumstances, will likely be Namikaze Minato, the Yellow Flash who has risen to fame in the last two years, while his teammates will be Nohara Rin and Hatake Kakashi.

"Namikaze Minato, Obito, Nohara Rin, Kakashi..."

Naraku stroked his chin, lost in thought.

Hatake Kakashi's reputation was damaged because of the White Fang incident, even though Hatake Sakumo did not commit suicide.

Even after the rumors were clarified, they still caused Kakashi a deep emotional blow.

Kakashi originally respected his father greatly, but after this incident, he developed his own views and believed that ninjas should prioritize their missions.

Naraku sometimes hears Hatake Sakumo complaining in the Police Force, suggesting that the father and son's relationship is somewhat strained.

Kakashi became the ninja who adhered most strictly to the ninja code. His ruthless and cold-blooded approach, prioritizing mission completion, led to his rejection by many ninjas in the Konoha Ninja community.

According to rumors, it seems that even finding teammates is difficult for him. Everyone is afraid of him and has given him a nickname: Cold-Blooded Kakashi.

Nine-year-old Kakashi couldn't understand why his father's failure to follow the ninja code led to the villagers' rejection and resentment, while he himself, who wholeheartedly adhered to the ninja code, was still ostracized.

"Obito graduated, let's give him Ninjutsu as a gift..."

Naraku pondered for a moment, then got up, went downstairs, and headed towards the Ninja Academy.

Obito graduated, Naraku wanted to show some human compassion as the clan leader and also asked his teacher to take good care of him.

Although Obito failed the clan's internal assessment and was kicked out of the clan's training system, he was sent to the Ninja Academy.

However, Naraku cared a lot about Obito. Every year, the Uchiha kicked out many young ninjas, and Obito was not the only one. It was just that the Uchiha system was like that, and educational resources had their own evaluation methods.

Obito and Nohara Rin from the Ninja Academy have been taken away by Minato. In a training ground, Obito and Rin have passed Namikaze Minato's test.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see your friends."

Namikaze Minato has blond hair and a gentle face; he is a kind, reliable, and powerful ninja.

Hi! X2

The two who had just joined the Minato team were still a little shy and timid.

"Haha, come with me, you know him too."

Namikaze Minato, unperturbed by the two students' timidity, smiled broadly and led them forward.

Ninja students are allowed to graduate early, and as long as the student isn't too outrageous, the Jonin the team must pass the exam. This is the current order issued by the Hokage.

For students who are truly lacking in aptitude, it is better to let them return to school for further study, so as to avoid them sacrificing themselves in vain on the battlefield.

The weeds, sewers, and garbage dumps in Konoha also need to be cleaned up by these Genin.

Beside the training stakes in the outdoor training ground, a silver-haired boy wearing a black mask and carrying a short sword stood blankly.

"Kakashi! It's you! You stinky fart king!"

"Kakashi, it's been a long time."

Obito pointed at Kakashi Hatake, a look of eager anticipation on his face.

Obito felt that after a year of training, he had mastered Ninjutsu and could use both the Three Body Technique and Fire Style ninjutsu. He had long wanted to challenge Kakashi and let Nohara Rin know that he was no longer the same person he used to be.

Nohara Rin greeted Kakashi gently, her eyes showing delight.

Kakashi's reputation as a genius, his strength and good looks made him the object of many girls' secret crushes, including Nohara Rin.

Namikaze Minato's Team 7 included the problematic and Cold-Blooded Kakashi.

The easygoing Obito and the gentle Nohara Rin were not as resistant and difficult to get along with as Kakashi's previous teammates.

Kakashi, wearing a mask and with a blank expression, nodded slightly at Obito and Rin's greetings but did not reply, maintaining a cold demeanor.

"Well, since you know each other, it'll be simple. Tell me about your dreams."

Namikaze Minato interjected at the opportune moment and inquired about the group's ideals.

"My dream is to become the Fifth Hokage of Konoha!"

Upon hearing Minato's question, Obito loudly proclaimed his dream.

Nohara Rin smiled faintly upon hearing Obito's dream, while Kakashi rolled his eyes at Obito.

Namikaze Minato, somewhat curious, asked:

"Obito, the Third Hokage is now protecting Konoha. If you want to become Hokage..."

"Shouldn't he be the next one? Why is he thinking of becoming the Fifth Hokage?"

"I'll pass the Fourth Hokage to my most respected clan head, Naraku! I'll just be the Fifth! Hahahaha!"

Obito scratched the back of his head and explained, then grinned happily as he spoke of his dream.

"This kid, I didn't spoil him for nothing."

Naraku, who had traveled a long way, finally found this place and heard Obito's words.
