afternoon.
Ninja School, North Playground.
The written test ended yesterday, and Nobuhiko got first place as expected.
Among them, the subject "The Will of Fire: The Awakening of the Ninja" received a perfect score.
What is happening now is the practical test for the first grade.
"The next group, Uchiha Obito versus Hinata Nobuhiko!" Sakamoto Yosuke read the names on the list loudly.
As the two walked to the middle of the playground, the girls suddenly screamed.
"Nobuhiko! Come on!"
"Nobuhiko! Defeat Obito!"
"Nobuhiko! You are the best!"
Compared with Obito, Nobuhiko's popularity is directly crushed in all aspects.
The gentle and handsome Nobuhiko, who also comes from a wealthy family, is obviously more attractive to girls than the naughty and mischievous Obito.
In particular, Nobuhiko also deliberately maintains a positive personality, so he seems to be very easy to get along with.
In addition, because Nobuhiko is often called on by the teacher to answer questions in class, the girls in the class know that he has excellent theoretical knowledge and will often ask him questions that he does not understand after class.
Some of the girls are doing it for him, and some are doing it for his deskmate Kakashi.
Although Nobuhiko had a headache, in order not to ruin his character, he could only greet him with a smile and was forced to open the business.
"Obito! Beat him hard!"
"Obito! Don't give me face! Defeat him!"
After the girls finished shouting, some boys started shouting too.
They may not necessarily have a good relationship with Obito, but they hate Nobuhiko who is so pushy.
Yosuke Sakamoto came to the venue, signaled everyone to quiet down, and then said to the two of them:
"Form the Seal of Opposition!"
Upon hearing this, Obito and Nobuhiko stretched out their right hands to form seals.
"Nobuhiko! I won't show mercy, because..."
Obito looked at Nobuhiko with burning eyes and said seriously, but he couldn't help but glance at Nohara Rin in the crowd.
He was obviously the one who met Lin first, but Lin actually cheered for Nobuhiko, which he couldn't accept!
He must use his strength to prove that he is better!
"Well, please give me some advice."
Nobuhiko nodded calmly.
There are only three people in the class, Kakashi, Hyuga Mio, and Hyuga Kamon, who he cannot defeat easily.
Although people like Sarutobi Asuma and Shiranui Genma are quite powerful, Nobuhiko can still keep up with them in a normal fight.
Obito is obviously not one of them.
During this period, he and Kakashi had had many close-to-hand fights in private, and their actual combat experience had greatly increased.
During this period, Sakumo also gave him special guidance.
"Take the move!"
Seeing Nobuhiko's expression was flat, Obito felt slighted, his forehead felt hot, and he raised his fist and rushed forward.
"Idiot..." Watching Obito's middle door open wide and rushing forward, Kakashi, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but complain in a low voice.
During this period, Obito pestered him a lot because of Lin's relationship.
Although Kakashi will definitely not suffer, he still remembers Obito as a pestering spirit.
Nobuhiko was slightly startled, he didn't expect Obito's actual combat skills to be so stingy.
Facing Obito's fist swinging towards his face, Nobuhiko turned sideways and missed the fist.
At the same time, he grabbed Obito's wrist with his left hand, swept his chest with his right hand, and then kicked his heel with his right leg.
Bang!
Obito flew directly into the air and fell to the ground.
As for Nobuhiko, the moment Obito hit the ground butt first, he stretched out his left foot to pad the back of his head to prevent the back of his head from hitting the ground.
"Wow!"
"Nobuhiko is so handsome!"
Nobuhiko's clean move instantly killed Obito, causing the girls to scream.
Hinata Kamon in the crowd curled his lips.
"Tch! This level of taijutsu is enough to deal with someone like Obito, but if he meets me... hum!"
"Winner! Hinata Nobuhiko! Both sides form the seal of reconciliation." Sakamoto Yosuke came to the court to determine the winner.
"I just... just couldn't stand firm for a moment!" Obito felt Lin's gaze and couldn't help but said harshly, but he still reluctantly formed a seal of reconciliation with Nobuhiko.
Nobuhiko returned to the team, Hinata Mio said with a smile: "Well done, Nobuhiko."
At this time, Yosuke Sakamoto in the field continued: "The next group, Hinata Kamon vs. Morino Ihiki!"
When Hinata Kamon passed by Nobuhiko, he whispered:
"I hope you can persist until you fight me..."
Nobuhiko smiled and said nothing when he heard this.
'joke! How can it be? '
Hinata Kamon was very dissatisfied with Nobuhiko's reaction. He went up with a set of combos and spread all his anger on Morino Ihiki, knocking him to the ground.
"Next group, Hatake Kakashi versus Sarutobi Asuma!"
After Yosuke Sakamoto gave the order, the Chuunin teacher in the next class who was proctoring the exam couldn't help but comment.
'Who is more powerful, the son of White Fang or the son of Lord Three Generations? '
Kakashi's reputation as a genius has spread throughout Konoha.
After all, entering school at the age of 4 is the youngest age record since the founding of the Ninja School.
Especially Kakashi broke the entrance test record!
Sarutobi Asuma is the youngest son of the Third Hokage, who is known as the 'Ninja Hero'. The battle between the two sides must be very interesting.
"Kakashi, please give me some advice." Sarutobi Asuma took a stance, looking like he was facing a formidable enemy.
"Well, please give me more advice." Kakashi nodded slightly, his dead fish eyes showing no change in expression.
His reaction made Sarutobi Asuma frown and feel a little angry.
Kakashi saw that he remained motionless, so he took the initiative to attack.
The result is obvious. Although Sarutobi Asuma is not weak, Kakashi is stronger.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Kakashi's victory cannot be said to be particularly easy, but it is also moderately easy.
The difference is huge visible to the naked eye!
...
Fights between students rarely involve protracted battles because they are not particularly physically strong.
Soon it was the third round of fighting.
"Hyuuga Nobuhiko versus Shiranui Genma!"
It's Nobuhiko's turn again.
Facing the same two-game winning streak, Genma Shiranui, who had always been very relaxed, Nobuhiko knew that he could lose this time.
If he wins again this time, his overall score will be in the top ten.
It's better to leave some room for improvement and slowly rise from the middle.
When it comes time to graduate, just perform better to avoid being used as cannon fodder.
In the end, after a fight, Nobuhiko lost to Shiranui Genma.
When he returned to the team, Nobuhiko passed by Hinata Kamon and saw that he wanted to speak, so he took the lead and said:
"Sorry, I couldn't hold on."
"..."
Seeing Nobuhiko say such words with a smile, Hinata Kamon almost suffered from internal injuries, and he just stood there in a daze.
The final test results were basically within Nobuhiko's expectations, with Kakashi first, Hyuga Mio second, and Hinata Kamon third.
As for the fourth place, which is a little unexpected, it is Uchiha Maki who was transferred just last week.
After the exam, everyone returned to the classroom. Yosuke Sakamoto said before get out of class ended:
"Students, tomorrow is Saturday.
Next, for the students whose names I read, please take their report cards back for their parents to sign.
Bring it back on Monday!
Yamada Eken, Fujita Tsuyoshi..."
The names that Yosuke Sakamoto read out were basically students who were on the verge of failing in written knowledge. This was a matter of attitude.
Because he knew the student's family situation, he did not let the ninja, whose parents were dead and had no living relatives, take his report card home even if his grades were very poor.
He just asked them to come to school on Saturdays and Sundays, and he would provide tutoring.
"Such a responsible teacher is really good!"
Nobuhiko raised his eyebrows when he heard the wailing sounds of some students.
These people don't know that the Third World War will start in a few years. Whether they go to the battlefield or not will not be their choice.
...
After school, Nobuhiko followed Kakashi directly to his house as usual.
"Nobuhiko! Let's practice together. Today I..."
Hinata Mio saw Nobuhiko and ran after her. When she saw Nobuhiko hugging Kakashi's neck and leaving affectionately, she froze in place.
Hinata Kamon immediately came forward, "Miss Mio! Nobuhiko's level is so poor, he won't let me accompany you..."
"Humph!" Hinata Mio shook her head and left unhappy.
****
Nobuhiko still spent two days on the weekend practicing.
It's just that Hatake Sakumo has been away from home for the past two days on a mission, so it's a pity that he can't ask him for advice.
Time soon came to Monday, and Kakashi was very unusual today, looking very worried.
No matter what Nobuhiko said, he didn't seem to have much motivation.
Although Kakashi is usually very cold, he is the only one who would not treat Nobuhiko like this.
However, in the past few days, Nobuhiko felt that his breathing technique practice had reached a bottleneck, and he was still half a step away from being able to use sword skills.
So his mind was almost all on cultivation, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Until Thursday.
Kakashi didn't come to school all morning.
After asking the teacher, Nobuhiko found out that Kakashi was on sick leave.
Nobuhiko, who was originally planning to visit after school, discovered the seriousness of the problem when he overheard the gossip of his classmates during lunch break.
"Hey, Shota, did you hear? The Jonin team led by Lord Sakumo failed in their mission."
