A Lifetime of Warfare, for Whom?

After casting the Three-Body Technique several times in a row, he executed every one of them perfectly and swiftly.

"I can totally apply for early graduation..."

Filled with confidence, Obito Uchiha picked up a shuriken and threw it at the distant target ahead.

Thunk! Thunk! Thunk!

He had thought it would be an easy hit, but unexpectedly...

They all missed!

Obito Uchiha frowned slightly, but he did not lose heart.

His eyes remained fixed on the distant target.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Obito suddenly made his move!

He threw all six shuriken at once!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

This time... although they did not hit the bullseye, at least they all struck the target.

Still, Obito was not satisfied. In his previous life, he had studied accuracy every day. When it came to hand-thrown weapons, he was unquestionably at the very top.

He immediately retrieved the shuriken, preparing for a third throw!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

This time, Obito's gaze sharpened, and in an instant, several shuriken struck the bullseye!

It was not over yet!

Obito Uchiha opened his eyes once more, and the shuriken in his hand hit their marks again!

Thunk! Thunk! Thunk!

Without exception! Every one of them hit!

Obito Uchiha had gone from a beginner with shuriken to proficient in just three attempts!

Some young Uchiha Clan children practicing shuriken on the neighboring field stared at Obito Uchiha in shock.

"Who is that? I just saw him miss every single throw. How did he suddenly become perfect?"

"I don't know him. I know all the talented Uchiha kids, but who is he? Why don't I remember him?"

Listening to everyone's speculation, Obito Uchiha ignored them.

Obito expressionlessly continued practicing ninjutsu.

"The first one... the Great Fireball Technique..."

Obito Uchiha walked to the riverbank and rapidly formed hand seals.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

In an instant!

A fireball two meters in diameter burst from Obito Uchiha's mouth!

The first Great Fireball he released at such a young age was already two meters wide!

His talent far surpassed Uchiha Sasuke's!

"Wow! That's amazing! He's so young, but he can actually use the Great Fireball!"

"His Great Fireball is huge! I can only make little sparks..."

The young Uchiha Clan children could not help looking toward Obito Uchiha as he practiced the Great Fireball.

"Ha... haha..."

Obito Uchiha panted slightly and wiped the dense sweat from his forehead.

Using a technique of this level for the first time was still a little exhausting...

But Obito Uchiha smiled. It was already very good.

He trained from the afternoon until sunset. All the young Uchiha Clan children at the training ground had already gone home.

But Obito Uchiha had not. He was still practicing taijutsu.

Ninjutsu was relatively simple, but his body often could not keep up.

Perhaps it was because he had only just transmigrated. His body often could not keep up with the speed of his thoughts.

He just needed more practice.

Under the setting sun, Obito Uchiha was the only one left in the training ground, constantly using the Body Flicker Technique to train.

"Wonderful~ Training so late at night, whose child is that~?"

"No idea. I don't remember ever seeing that kid..."

"Talent is not scary. What's scary is a talented child who works hard. I watched him—he started training in the afternoon and kept going until now!"

Two Uchiha Police Force members who had just finished their shifts looked at Obito in the training ground and praised him sincerely.

Evening...

Obito Uchiha collapsed onto the grass in exhaustion. He was too young; his will was willing, but his body was not.

"Obito~~"

"Obito~~~~"

Calls rang out one after another.

Obito Uchiha had nearly fallen asleep on the grass and hurriedly got up.

"Grandma! I'm here!"

Obito Uchiha hurried over.

Seeing Obito Uchiha covered in grime after an entire afternoon of training, his grandmother felt distressed.

"Little Obito, you... don't need to push yourself so hard~ Why do this..."

His grandmother patted the dust from Obito's clothes.

Obito merely smiled faintly.

After returning home, Obito went to sleep after dinner.

In the original story, he was always late. Since he was here now, he certainly would not be late.

He went to bed early after dinner.

The next day, Obito Uchiha left home after breakfast.

Before heading out, he checked the time...

There was plenty of time!

Obito was in no hurry. Going too early was not particularly good either.

He admired Konoha's scenery as he headed to the Ninja Academy.

Arriving at the Ninja Academy, Obito Uchiha sat expressionlessly in his seat.

Soon, his classmates began arriving.

The moment his classmates saw Obito, they were stunned at first. Then they wondered if they had entered the wrong classroom and checked the room number.

Afterward, they walked in with puzzled expressions and sat down.

Then, more and more people filled the classroom.

Asuma, Yuhi Kurenai, Gekko Hayate, Ebisu, Might Guy, Aoba Yamashiro, Genma Shiranui, and the others arrived one after another.

When they entered the classroom and saw Obito, they were also briefly stunned.

"Who is that? Since when did our class get another handsome Uchiha guy? Is he a new student?"

"Well, I don't know. As long as he doesn't steal Kurenai from me."

"So handsome! The Uchiha Clan really is full of natural-born handsome guys~"

The civilian girls had stars in their eyes.

Before class had even begun, everyone was looking at Obito Uchiha, expecting him to introduce himself.

Obito Uchiha could not stand their stares any longer.

"What are you looking at? It's your brother Obito!"

Obito Uchiha spoke calmly.

"Ah?!"

Everyone present wore expressions of disbelief and shock as they stared wide-eyed at Obito Uchiha.

Even Gekko Hayate, who always wore that sickly, expressionless look, could not help freezing.

The girls' faces stiffened instantly.

Their mouths hung slightly open. The Obito Uchiha before them was practically a completely different person from the one in their memories.

That formerly sloppy Uchiha boy, the dead last, had somehow transformed into someone so handsome and charming.

The contrast was so enormous that they could not connect the two at all.

Of course, except for Might Guy...

"Who is Obito?"

Might Guy scratched his head, having somewhat forgotten who he was.

Obito Uchiha ignored them and flipped through his textbooks, preparing to make up for all the lessons Obito had fallen behind on.

It had to be Kakashi and Rin.

The two of them recognized Obito at a glance.

"Eh?! Obito!"

The instant Rin saw Obito, she was briefly stunned before revealing a delighted expression and sitting beside Obito Uchiha.

Kakashi strolled in unhurriedly, his dead-fish eyes looking at Obito's flashy appearance.

Helplessness appeared on his face. "Well, why are you dressing up like this? Just to make Rin like you?"

Kakashi assumed Obito had dressed like this because he wanted to please Rin.

Obito Uchiha merely gave Kakashi a calm glance and said nothing.

Kakashi frowned slightly. Why did Obito seem different from usual?

Whenever he exposed Obito in the past, Obito would definitely lose his composure and pick a fight with him.

Why was this year different?
