"Grandma, be careful, I'll get these things in for you!"

"Good boy, thank you for helping me carry it for so long. Grandma can take it in by herself!"

On the streets of Konoha, Obito, who was wearing goggles, carried large and small bags, and helped an old lady deliver it to the door.

Many people on the road noticed this scene. Some people wanted to praise this helpful young man, but when he accidentally saw the Uchiha family emblem behind Obito, all their faces changed slightly, as if they were worried about something. , turned away silently.

"Thank you so much. There are not many children in the village who help others like you now!"

The old grandmother looked at Obito who was panting, with a silly face, and patted his head kindly.

"Hehe, it's a piece of cake, I'm an excellent Konoha ninja!"

Obito raised his head, but suddenly thought of something, his face froze, "Oops, I only care about helping the old grandma, the time agreed with Lin is coming!"

"Hey, good boy, I don't have anything to give you. Are these candies for you?"

The old grandmother took out her pocket and handed Obito a handful of candies.

"Thank you...Thank you!"

Obitu was very anxious, but he still took the candy with a smile.

"Good boy, are these candies enough?" Seeing Obito's unnatural expression, the grandmother couldn't help but ask, "If it's not enough, I still have..."

"Enough is enough, thank you grandma, grandma is so nice!"

Obito finally couldn't hold back any longer, and the whole person disappeared in a swish.

"Whirring whirring......"

Ten minutes later, Obito leaned on his knees, out of breath.

He looked at the door of the empty ninja mission hall with a look of mourning on his face.

"Damn... I'm actually late again and again, and Lin is not here anymore...!"

Thinking of today's important day, Obito screamed again.

"Damn it, can such an outstanding genius like me become unbearable for ten thousand years?!"

clap la la...

As soon as the voice fell, countless ninjas poured out of the mission hall. Everyone was talking, laughing, and Obito passing by, like water waves separated by a reef, completely ignoring the rigid Obito.

"..."

Obito looked at the forms in the hands of many people, turned his head blankly, and prepared to go home.

However, at this moment, a small white hand patted Obito's shoulder, accompanied by a faint scent of orchids.

"Obito, you're late again~"

A gentle voice floated into Obito's ears, which seemed to be the most beautiful fairy voice in the world, making Obito, who was originally downcast, turn around instantly!

"You, the tail of the crane, can't even make the agreed time round. Compared with last year, you haven't made any progress at all. Even if you take the test again, it will be a shame, right?"

Kakashi was still so unbeatable, folded his chest with his arms, tilted his neck, and looked at Obito indifferently with a pair of dead fish eyes.

"Hahaha, don't rush to leave even if you're late. Can't you trust your classmates and teachers?"

Minato Namikaze wearing a green vest with a sunny smile on his face, gently handed a form to Obito.

This is the registration form for the Chunin Exam!

"Rin... Watergate-sensei, you...!"

Obito took the form tremblingly and looked at the sincere eyes of Rin and Minato, who had warm smiles on their faces, and finally a smile appeared on their faces.

This smile gradually enlarged until it became wild!

"Wow ha ha ha! Thank you so much, Rin, Minato-sensei! Don't worry, my genius Uchiha Obito will definitely pass this year!"

"come on!"

Minato gave a thumbs up, with an expression that I am very optimistic about you.

"Hey, idiot!"

Kakashi snorted coldly and turned his face away, "You so-called genius must count on your luck this year, otherwise you won't even be able to see the back of my former classmate."

"Kakashi...!!"

With a loud shout, the blue veins on his head were exposed, and even the people around couldn't help but look over.

"If you don't speak, I won't treat you as dumb!"

Obito thought that after getting along for a long time, he would be immune to Kakashi's cynicism, and even completely ignore this mood-destroying bastard.

However, he realized again, he couldn't do it at all!

"I'm only late today to help an old grandmother, otherwise I-"

"Tsk tsk tsk, I believe, can't I believe you?"

Kakashi's face full of disgust made Obitu's face even more ugly.

"Okay, Obito, Kakashi helped you get the form just now."

Lin stood up at the right time and said, "Thanks to Kakashi's shadow avatar who turned into you just now, I got the registration form."

"Humph--"

Obito raised his chin, "Since this is the case, I won't have the same knowledge as you this time."

"..."

Kakashi sighed silently as Obito looked at Zai Rin's consoling expression.

He actually believed in Obito's excuse to help the grandmother, because the Uchiha in front of him was indeed different, and in a sense, he was also a "five good boy", but it was too off-line.

However, it was not long after the last Chunin exam, and this time it was held so soon, it might not be a good thing...

Thinking of his father's previous words and exhortations, Kakashi frowned as he looked at Lin and Obito who were holding the form with a relieved expression.

"Kakashi, people will grow up eventually, you have to believe in Obito and your partner, don't you?"

As if seeing Kakashi's sorrow, Minato patted Kakashi on the shoulder.

This disciple is indeed a genius, but he likes to wear a cold and arrogant mask. In fact, he is a great seedling.

After all, he is the descendant of that senior.

Namikaze Minato thought to himself.

"Kakashi-sensei, Naruto-sama is holding this Chunin exam, does that also mean that Konoha's current form is not optimistic?"

"Haha, don't worry so much, you have to believe in the strength of the village, Hokage-sama is just doing this to motivate you normally.

Also, don't underestimate Obito and Lin. Obito's strength is actually not weak. Although he didn't open the kaleidoscope of the Uchiha clan, his fire escape skills are definitely top-notch among the Uchiha ninjas that the teacher has seen.

The reason why he doesn't look strong is also related to his character. And Lin, as a medical ninja, she is also quite good. "

Namikaze Minato said lightly.

The two of them looked at Obito and Lin, who were happily chatting in front of them, and would not choose to talk to them about some sensitive issues.

And the fact that Minato said that he is willing to talk to Kakashi like this is also a manifestation of his recognition of this genius disciple.

"I know, Minato-sensei, Obito... he's still too kind..."

Kakashi pondered the words and hesitated.

As a ninja, "kindness" is by no means a compliment.

For example, Obito's actions such as helping an old woman to cross the road at every turn for three days does not seem like what a Uchiha ninja did, and Konoha is probably the only one.

As the son of Konoha White Fang, Kakashi has always restrained himself by the standard of a perfect ninja.

Obito does not reject Obito in his heart, but he is still not optimistic about Obito's ninja path!

"Minato-sensei, I'm already a chunin this year, and Rin will definitely get preferential treatment as a medical ninja. Now that Naruto-sama is holding the chunin exam again, the probability of Rin's promotion should be very high."

Kakashi said, "But... let's not talk about Obito's strength, the rules of the Chunin exam. At the beginning, a three-person team must be organized to work together to pass the first two rounds of exams. Don't they still lack a teammate?"

The Chunin Exam, the first written test, examines the ninja's ability to gather information and make decisions.

The second trial in the forest of death, which tests the contestants’ multiple abilities such as cooperative fighting and concealment, survival, and adaptability, is the most basic assessment, and even medical ninjas have to participate.

This is still the assessment method established by Senju Tobirama back then. It may change a little every year, but the essence is the same.

As the son of Hatake Shigeru, the genius of Konoha this year, Kakashi knew it from the first time he participated.

"Ah, I know."

Minato Namikaze smiled and said, "Indeed, there is Rin, a medical ninja in the team, and it will be quite difficult to pass the second test.

If it wasn't for you last year, the two of them would have been really tough. "

"So... Sensei, have you already found someone to compete with them?" Kakashi couldn't help asking in surprise seeing Minato's calm expression.

Sarutobi's Chunin exam was held early this time very suddenly, and many teams did not find suitable teammates.

"Yes, there is indeed an excellent ninja who will join their team temporarily, and this person was not found by the teacher, but..."

"Minato-kun, so you are here."

A hoarse and magnetic voice sounded aside, Kakashi turned his head and his eyes narrowed.

A man in a beige dress slowly walked towards them, holding a girl about the same size as them.

This girl is wearing a very capable mesh inner shirt, with distinctive short hair, and a look that no one is near, but the ball in her hand makes her temperament a little broken.

This girl also has a Konoha forehead guard on her head, but Kakashi seems to have never seen it before, and she holds the same Chunin exam registration form as theirs.

"Master Orochimaru?!"

Kakashi didn't pay too much attention to the girl who ate balls, and focused entirely on Orochimaru.

As the leader of Konoha Sannin, Orochimaru's reputation is booming in the village, and there have been rumors among the people that he will become Sarutobi's successor and serve as the fourth Hokage.

As the son of Hatake Shigeru, Kakashi has heard his father mention this mysterious and powerful man many times, this ninja who makes even a powerful father feel ashamed.

Kakashi usually only sees Orochimaru from a distance, but this is the first time that he has had such a close encounter.

Feeling the restrained and heavy pressure on Orochimaru, the inexplicable icy pressure like a cold-blooded animal, Kakashi knew that the strength of the person in front of him was absolutely unfathomable!

"Minato, this is Kakashi, the most outstanding genius ninja in Konoha." Kakashi secretly paid attention to Orochimaru, but Orochimaru stared directly at Kakashi with an interesting smile on his face. .

"Hahaha, Orochimaru-sama is joking, how can the ninjas who just graduated today compare to the ninjas tempered by war in your era?"

Namikaze Minato blew a round of Orochimaru, "Of course the Kakashi that Mr. Shigeru raised is really good, I'm very optimistic about him!"

"Orochimaru...sir?!"

Seeing Orochimaru, Lin naturally bowed to Orochimaru, but Obito's expression became a little unnatural.

It's not for other reasons. Facing the powerful ninjas in the legends on weekdays, as a Uchiha, or a Uchiha who is not taken seriously, Obito simply felt uncomfortable.

"You are Uchiha Obito, right?" Orochimaru stared at Obito with a meaningful smile, "You are a child with great potential, I can feel the amazing talent in your body, and you will definitely be famous in the future. The powerhouse of the world."

"Ha... me...?!"

Obito originally thought that Orochimaru would not care about his "little pawn" at all, but he never expected Orochimaru to give himself such a high evaluation in front of his teacher.

Even Kakashi on the side and Minato, who always had a smile on his face, couldn't help but change their expressions.

"That's right, you are a good boy, I hope you can explore your potential power well." Orochimaru nodded slightly, then looked at Minato Namikaze.

"Hey... Explore your strengths well, doesn't that mean that you have no strength now? It seems that even Senior Orochimaru thinks you are the tail of a crane..."

Kakashi looked at Obito who was still metabolizing, and couldn't help but start to make up his mind.

"Minato, this is my apprentice, Red Bean. According to the agreement, she will temporarily join your subordinate team, and you and the others will complete the first two rounds of the Chunin Exam together."

Orochimaru patted Anko on the shoulder and turned towards Minato.

Orochimaru in this time and space discovered the existence of Red Bean long ago, so he took her into his bag early as his disciple and necessary assistant. Usually, he did not enter the ninja school to study like the ordinary Jinnin, but only participated in the necessary assessments.

This is the first time for Adzuki to take the Chunin exam. Originally, Orochimaru didn't want to expose the red bean. The red bean during this period was of great help to him, but Sarutobi's Chunin exam changed his mind.

"Master Orochimaru's new apprentice? He looks very individual!"

Minato also didn't know about Red Bean, and Orochimaru had told him about Red Bean joining the team. Minato thought about it at the time and found that there was no reason to refuse.

During the exam, having a medical ninja in the team is definitely a huge disadvantage~lightnovelpub.net~ In addition, Obito is unreliable, and Minato also has trouble finding ninjas.

And although Minato doesn't know the ability of Red Bean, he completely believes that the children taught by Orochimaru can't be bad, especially this is proposed by Orochimaru himself.

"Excuse me, Watergate!"

Orochimaru looked at Minato and smiled and pushed it again.

Even Kakashi on the side and Minato, who always had a smile on his face, couldn't help but change their expressions.

"That's right, you are a good boy, I hope you can explore your potential power well." Orochimaru nodded slightly, then looked at Minato Namikaze.

"Hey... Explore your strengths well, doesn't that mean that you have no strength now? It seems that even Senior Orochimaru thinks you are the tail of a crane..."

Kakashi looked at Obito who was still metabolizing, and couldn't help but start to make up his mind.

"Minato, this is my apprentice, Red Bean. According to the agreement, she will temporarily join your subordinate team, and you and the others will complete the first two rounds of the Chunin Exam together."
