"I never said you couldn't come along. Your name was already among the ninja assigned by the village."
Looking at Obito Uchiha, who kept clinging to him, Uchiha Ganghuo smiled faintly and spoke softly.
Uchiha Ganghuo thought highly of this younger member of the Uchiha Clan and liked him very much.
Although the boy usually fooled around, Uchiha Ganghuo could tell that, just like his father, who served as director of the Uchiha Orphanage, he was a very kindhearted person.
Uchiha Ganghuo naturally felt an affinity for people like that.
All the more so when they belonged to the same clan.
"All right!! After lying around for so long, I'm definitely going to complete this mission perfectly! Speaking of which, what's our mission this time, Big Brother Kōka?
Are we clearing out invading ninja from Kirigakure like before? Or are we heading straight to the front lines this time?!!!"
Obito Uchiha looked at Uchiha Ganghuo, excited and full of anticipation.
He was lively by nature, and being forced to lie in bed for a month had left him terribly stifled. Now that he could go on missions again, he was naturally very excited.

Uchiha Ganghuo reached out and straightened the goggles on Obito Uchiha's forehead as he spoke with a smile.
