Obito, the Dark Horse

On the training ground, the students were all stunned by Baoguo Shimura's outrageously lewd behavior.

Baoguo had already torn his shirt into shreds.

He rubbed his flat chest with both hands while shouting, "My little Liangtian!"

"Pfft!"

Someone finally failed to hold it in and burst out laughing first.

Then all the students erupted into laughter. Several even clutched their stomachs and crouched on the ground, pounding their chests and stamping their feet.

"Hahaha! What the hell is Baoguo Shimura doing? I never knew he could act this slutty."

"Hahaha! I can't take it anymore. He looks so shameless! How can anyone be that shameless?"

"Didn't you hear what Obito just said? Apparently, he used a jutsu on Baoguo to restore his memories of his past life. Was Baoguo a prostitute in his previous life? Hahaha!"

Every student on the field was laughing.

Only one person wore a look of terror as he backed away, step by step.

He was the poor soul Baoguo had set his sights on: their teacher, Liangtian.

Liangtian kept retreating as he stammered, "Baoguo, c-can you calm down? This is a school! You can't just do whatever you want..."

"My little Liangtian, don't be shy. Come on~~!" Baoguo blew Liangtian a kiss.

Then Baoguo lunged at Liangtian like a ravenous tiger pouncing on its prey.

But Liangtian was a veteran Genin with years of experience. How could he fall for Baoguo's attack so easily?

In a few swift moves, Liangtian pinned Baoguo to the ground and planted a foot on his head.

No matter how fiercely Baoguo struggled, he did not dare loosen his hold in the slightest.

If this lust-crazed brat broke free and actually tackled him to the ground, his reputation would be ruined.

He would never be able to show his face at the Ninja Academy again.

"Obito! What did you do to him?"

Liangtian roared at Obito in exasperation.

Although he did not know exactly what had happened, he knew Obito had done something to Baoguo.

Obito spread his hands. "Nothing. Didn't I just tell you? I only restored his memories of his past life. Don't worry. He'll snap out of it on his own in a little while."

Liangtian shot Obito a fierce glare, then turned toward the crowd and called, "Kurenai Yuhi, come help me take a look."

Although Liangtian did not know much about the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, he at least knew that most ninja with the Sharingan excelled at genjutsu.

Judging by Baoguo's condition, he was very likely under a genjutsu.

And the Yūhi Clan was renowned for genjutsu. Having Kurenai Yuhi take a look might reveal what was going on.

"Yes, Mr. Liangtian."

The students were still doubled over with laughter. Suppressing her own amusement, Kurenai Yuhi answered before stepping out of the crowd.

"Baoguo seems to be under Obito's genjutsu, sir."

A glance at Baoguo's eyes was enough for Kurenai Yuhi to get a rough understanding of the situation.

As she spoke, her gaze unconsciously drifted toward Obito beside her, a hint of envy in her eyes.

Although the Yūhi Clan was not a particularly large clan in Konoha, it had established its place in the village through genjutsu.

Yet even if someone perfected the Yūhi Clan's methods of casting genjutsu to the level of her father, Shinku Yuhi,

they still could not compare to Obito's Sharingan, which could ensnare an enemy with ease.

"Obito really is something. I never imagined he was this strong, yet he hid it so well before."

Kurenai Yuhi murmured to herself.

Liangtian nodded. "Good work, Kurenai Yuhi. Can you dispel it?"

"I should be able to." Kurenai Yuhi nodded and began forming hand seals.

"Release!" As she completed the final seal, Kurenai Yuhi gave a sharp cry and gently pressed two fingers to Baoguo's forehead.

Baoguo immediately stopped his lewd behavior, and clarity returned to his eyes.

"What happened to me? Mr. Liangtian, why are you stepping on me?" Baoguo asked, thoroughly bewildered.

Liangtian glared at him in exasperation. "You've got the nerve to ask? What on earth were you doing just now?"

Still confused, Baoguo scrambled to his feet.

When he saw his classmates pointing at him and snickering behind their hands, he lowered his head to look at himself.

His brown kimono had been torn to tatters, and he was covered in dirt.

His memories finally caught up with him. Images of his lewd, shameless antics flashed through his mind, and his face turned crimson with humiliation.

He turned a hateful glare on Obito and roared furiously, "Obito Uchiha! Today, either you die or I do!"

Obito shook his head disdainfully. "You already said that just now! Baoguo, making too many threats only makes you look cheap."

To Baoguo, those words were the ultimate insult and mockery. "Damn it! Damn you! Obito Uchiha, I'll fight you to the death!"

As he spoke, Baoguo charged at Obito like a madman.

But he had barely taken two steps before Liangtian pinned him to the ground again. "You're no match for him. Haven't you embarrassed yourself enough?"

"But he..." Tears streamed down Baoguo's face. I'm the top student in our year! When have I ever been treated like this?

It's all because of Obito Uchiha. That bastard!

Although Baoguo could not swallow his anger or accept what had happened,

he finally calmed down under Liangtian's scolding.

The farcical match between Obito and Baoguo more or less came to an end there.

But from that moment on, Baoguo's standing as the top student in their year plummeted in everyone's eyes.

And just as some of his classmates had predicted, Obito truly became a dark horse who had burst onto the scene.

A ninja with the Three-Tomoe Sharingan was no laughing matter.

Whether in the Uchiha Clan or the Third Hokage's faction, he would be someone worth nurturing as a priority.

It also meant that the old Obito Uchiha, the dead last, was gone for good from this moment onward.

From now on, the road ahead of Obito would be smoother and easier than before.

On the training ground, Liangtian continued overseeing the remaining matches.

But many of those present were preoccupied, each harboring different thoughts.

"Obito Uchiha... I'll get my revenge." Baoguo's gaze was filled with venom as he looked at Obito.

Liangtian's brow furrowed as he muttered to himself, "Why did Obito hide his strength until now? This is all far too suspicious. I need to inform Lord Third Hokage as soon as possible."

As Kurenai Yuhi watched Obito's retreating figure, a trace of curiosity and admiration unconsciously appeared in her eyes:

Why did Obito hide his strength before? Did he deliberately act so silly just to make everyone laugh?

Still, reaching this level at his age... he really is incredible.
