Sakura frowned, not believing a word the masked man who had appeared out of nowhere was saying.
"How could Kakashi-sensei possibly lose?" Naruto said with absolute certainty.
“That’s right, that’s right!” Sakura chimed in.
"So what do you know, masked man? Stop spouting nonsense!"
Obito found the two brats stubborn and unrepentant, and felt both annoyed and amused.
He was too lazy to argue with these two brats anymore, so he just crossed his arms and muttered, "Hmph, just you wait and see."
Compared to Naruto and Sakura's excitement, Sasuke remained silent.
He merely squinted slightly, thoughtfully observing the masked man not far away.
The masked man not only claims to be a senior member of the Uchiha clan, but also seems to have some kind of entanglement with his brother.
What's even stranger is that he seems quite familiar with Kakashi-sensei's temperament...
Who is this guy?
Sasuke clenched his fists tightly, his brows furrowed.
……
in the screen.
Minato Namikaze has handed the three mission request scrolls to Kakashi and instructed them to return here in the evening to report on the mission's progress.
After giving his instructions, Minato gave his three disciples a meaningful smile, and then vanished from the spot in a flash.
I suppose he's busy with other important matters.
Watching his teacher leave, Kakashi looked down at the mission scroll in his hand.
According to the description above, they need to complete three tasks today: First, to help the village's old woman Akimichi find her lost kitten "Pudding"; second, to help the owner of the fish shop in the mountains find the keychain that was lost at the market; and third, to help a child from the Nara clan find his lost kunai.
"Hmph, these tasks are a piece of cake for me!"
Before Kakashi could finish reading the mission, Obito, full of fighting spirit, snatched the scroll and patted his chest, loudly guaranteeing, "Finding a cat and something is nothing! I, Uchiha Obito, can easily handle it all by myself!"
After saying that, he eagerly stuffed the scroll into his pocket, gave Kakashi and Rin a thumbs-up, and confidently turned and ran off: "Just you wait and see how amazing I am, haha!"
Watching Obito rush into the depths of the village, Rin couldn't help but whisper worriedly, "Obito... are you really okay?"
In her memory, Obito was usually full of energy, but he was always impulsive and unreliable.
This is the first time the three of them have officially carried out a ninja mission. Can he really handle it all by himself?
Lin's delicate brows were filled with worry as she turned to Kakashi beside her: "Let's go help Obito!"
Unexpectedly, Kakashi had already started walking and walked to a large, leafy tree.
He put one hand in his pocket, lazily sat down in the shade of the tree, and then naturally lay back down.
"Kakashi?!" Rin's eyes widened. She ran a few steps to the shade of a tree and looked incredulously at her companion, who looked like she was about to take a nap. "What are you doing? Aren't you going to do a mission?"
Kakashi rested his hands behind his head, closed his one eye with a relaxed expression, and even swung one leg, looking quite content.
"Don't worry, Rin," he said casually, "Obito will be fine on his own."
"But, but—" Lin was bewildered by his nonchalant attitude and was speechless for a moment.
In fact, Kakashi was very confident in his judgment.
Given Obito's consistent helpfulness in the village and his popularity among the elderly neighbors, these search tasks were not difficult for him at all.
Kakashi could even foresee that it wouldn't be long before Obito was able to successfully complete all the requests.
Thinking of this, he tilted his head slightly, raised his hand and patted the ground beside him, gesturing for Rin to sit down as well: "Don't be in a daze. Let's rest for a while first—we don't need to wait until night, Obito can finish all those missions in a morning at most."
Rin hesitated, glancing at Kakashi, then looked worriedly in the direction where Obito had disappeared.
She bit her lower lip, but eventually knelt down and sat down next to Kakashi.
The girl's soft, chestnut-brown short hair fell to the side of her face, and a faint blush could be seen on her cheeks.
"Is... this really okay?"
Lin lowered her head and asked softly.
Although Kakashi spoke with certainty, she couldn't help but worry.
“Of course,” Kakashi replied decisively. “I believe in Obito’s abilities.”
As he spoke, he gave Rin a confident and resolute smile, calmly and confidently as if he believed that Obito would not disappoint.
Infected by his confident demeanor, Lin's previously anxious heart calmed down a little.
She gave a soft "hmm," and the tension on her face eased considerably.
……
in the audience.
Obito was so angry that he jumped up!
"Ah!! Kakashi—"
He slammed his fist on the armrest of his chair in a fit of rage, the loud bang echoing through the empty theater. "You damned bastard! I'll kill you!!"
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +600!]
Chapter 195 Obito, you're really popular in your mother-in-law's circle!
in the audience.
Naruto and his two companions all turned to look at the scene.
Sakura, Sasuke, and Naruto exchanged bewildered glances, looking at the mysterious masked man not far away.
He thought that even if Kakashi-sensei's actions on the screen were a bit speechless, he wouldn't suddenly fly into a rage, would he?
At this moment, Obito was completely oblivious to the surprised looks the three little ones were giving him.
His fists were clenched, veins bulging, chest heaving rapidly, like a wild beast, staring intently at the dream scene, wishing he could rush in and teach someone on the screen a lesson.
"Once this dream ends, I'm going to teach Kakashi a lesson!"
"Kakashi... he's gone too far!"
Obito gritted his teeth in anger, his mind replaying the scene from just now, his rage growing ever stronger.
Thinking back to before the mission began, when faced with the challenge he had given to his younger self, that bastard Kakashi actually put on a serious face.
It's one thing to show off by saying high-sounding things like "even menial tasks are important".
But when the mission actually began, he turned around, lay down under the shade of a tree, and leisurely rested with his head in his hands!
He acted as if he were a carefree, hands-off manager, clearly not intending to put in any effort.
What do you mean by "the miscellaneous tasks are very important"? In the end, you dumped all three tasks on me, who was so young at the time, to solve all by myself!
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Obito would never have believed them.
Kakashi, are you even human?
Obito was filled with anger and anxiety; his lungs felt like they were about to explode.
What's even more annoying is.
Obito's eyes widened suddenly, and he stared intently at the screen.
In the picture, Kakashi is lying comfortably under the shade of a tree, with one hand behind his head, looking quite relaxed.
Lin sat not far from him, her face flushed with shyness.
The girl spoke to him with a reserved yet caring tone. The handsome young man and the lovely girl chatted idly under the dappled shadows of the trees, creating a surprisingly harmonious and warm atmosphere.
This scene made Obito tremble with rage.
hateful!
That bastard Kakashi actually took advantage of my absence to go with Rin alone...
"Damn Kakashi..."
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +1000!]
Just then, a soft sigh filled with emotion came from beside Obito: "This scene is so heartwarming. Kakashi-sensei and this little girl named Rin look so well-matched! Could this be considered childhood sweethearts, innocent and inseparable?"
It was Sakura who was speaking.
She rested her chin on her hands, gazing at Kakashi and Rin chatting on the screen, a hopeful smile on her face.
"Hmph, here we go again, how boring!" Sasuke curled his lip and snorted dismissively.
Naruto stared wide-eyed at the screen, about to chime in with a few words, but before he could speak, he was abruptly interrupted by a deep, angry voice.
"Kid!"
Obito suddenly turned his head and glared at Sakura through his mask, his voice trembling slightly as he tried to suppress his anger.
"Watch your words! You dare to say whatever comes to mind; be careful what you say, or you'll get yourself into trouble!"
He practically spat out those words through clenched teeth, his voice dripping with murderous intent.
"Kakashi and this girl are by no means a good match!!!"
Sakura was startled by the masked man's sudden outburst, but quickly mustered her courage, pouted, and retorted, "What's it to you?! I think they're a perfect match, a match made in heaven!"
After saying that, Sakura made a face at Obito, stuck out her tongue, and gave him a "I said it, what can you do about it?" look.
"you--!"
Obito was so angry that he was speechless for a moment, his chest heaving violently, and he was almost driven to the point of fainting by this ignorant little girl.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +400!]
Kakashi!
Just wait for me!
Obito roared angrily in his heart, veins throbbing on his forehead.
Seeing the masked man trembling with anger and helplessness, Naruto and Sasuke exchanged a glance, both somewhat bewildered: "What's wrong with this guy all of a sudden?"
