Chapter 728 win?

“Obito, you were so cool when you walked out of that pile of rocks. You wouldn’t believe how amazing the Iwagakure Ninja next to me looked at that moment.”

Asuma patted Obito’s shoulder, laughing loudly.

“It was like they were saying, ‘How is this possible? This Guy took such an attack and is completely unharmed.’”

Asuma still felt a rush of excitement recalling it now, but it also made him feel even more regretful.

He, a Ninja, had actually failed to participate in such a grand event, stopping at the preliminaries.

“When I go back, I’ll have to tell Mom how that old man beat me into such a severe injury,” Asuma thought fiercely to himself.

If not for his old father, with his strength, he could have entered the second round with a bit of luck, having the chance to contend with famous powerhouses.

“It was alright. Thinking about it carefully, I feel like there were still many things I didn’t do well in that battle,” Obito said humbly with a chuckle, constantly glancing at Rin Nohara next to him out of the corner of his eye.

He was happy that his good brother said he was handsome, but the most important thing was Rin Nohara’s opinion.

“You were already excellent. Everyone was shouting your name then, Obito,” Rin Nohara said with a beaming smile.

“Haha, really? Well, I have to thank everyone, but I still need to keep working hard.”

Obito scratched his head, desperately trying to control his facial expressions, trying to make sure his smile wasn’t too arrogant.

Raido Namiashi, who was standing nearby: …

He felt that Obito now truly deserved a beating, but unfortunately, he couldn’t defeat him.

“Although his strength is a bit unfamiliar, Obito is still Obito,” Kurenai Yuhi sighed.

She and Raido Namiashi believed their strength was insufficient, so they didn’t participate in the competition.

Since Obito and his friends graduated, the gap in strength among their group of friends, who used to play together often, had grown wider and wider. Even Asuma, the strongest among them, had been left far behind.

Then, a group of young men and women walked back to the hotel where they were staying, chatting and laughing.

Upon returning to the hotel, everyone went back to their respective rooms.

Those who fought in the competition were tired and needed rest, and those who watched the competition had been sitting long enough and wanted to lie down for a while.

As soon as Obito returned to his room, he lay down on the bed.

“Hehe, Rin praised me again today.”

Obito recalled Rin Nohara’s smile just now and couldn’t help but squirm on the bed.

He only regretted that his eyes couldn’t act as a camera to take photos; otherwise, he could save all of Rin Nohara’s smiling faces.

After giggling on the bed for three minutes, Obito stretched, stood up, found the contestant information Muzuki had given him, and sat on the bed to read it.

Information is crucial in a Ninja’s battle. If Kitsuchi knew about Kamui, it would be no problem for Obito to expend a bit more effort.

“Rasa, who has mastered Magnet Release, which can convert Chakra into magnetic force. Due to his Chakra having magnetic properties, it’s not advisable to engage him with magnetic weapons. His commonly used Ninjutsu include…”

Obito directly turned to the page where Rasa was located and began to seriously review Rasa’s information.

Although he considered his strength insufficient to confront a Kage head-on, Obito would not give up.

This was a very rare opportunity; ordinarily, it was not easy to meet a Kage from another Village, let alone challenge one.

Rasa, as the youngest Kage besides Muzuki, was already the most ideal opponent.

Moreover, Obito had a small, unrealistic expectation in his heart.

What if he won?

If he happened to be in peak condition one day, and Rasa was in terrible condition, and then Rasa’s strength wasn’t as strong as he imagined, then would he not have a chance to win?

“Winning against the Kazekage…”

Obito imagined what the scene in the arena would be like then.

All the Konoha Ninja would cheer for him, and everyone, whether they knew him or not, would look at him with expressions of utter astonishment.

He would become a new legend in the Ninja World, with a cool title like Raging Sun Mu Yue or Yellow Flash.

His achievements would be forever etched in Six Paths City.

As long as the Ninja Village era had not passed, people would remember that one day, a great Ninja named Uchiha Obito defeated the Kazekage at the age of fifteen.

Rin Nohara would look at him with clear, bright eyes and say, “Obito, you’re so strong! If it’s Obito, you’ll definitely be able to end the war and create a world of peace.”

Then their relationship would quickly warm up, they would get married directly after becoming adults, and have a child in the first year of marriage.

“If it’s a boy, he’ll be named Uchiha En, and if it’s a girl, she’ll be named Uchiha Lily,” Obito thought.

The reason for naming a boy En was because Obito really liked Flame Breathing and wanted to name him in its memory.

The girl was named after a flower because Rin Nohara liked flowers.

“But isn’t having a child in the first year of marriage too fast?” Obito fell into another line of thought.

Would a child hinder his and Rin’s relationship?

“Obito, what are you doing in there? Why aren’t you opening the door?”

At that moment, Kakashi’s voice interrupted Obito’s thoughts, and Obito then realized someone was knocking at the door.

Obito reluctantly walked to the door and opened it.

Damn Kakashi, he was in the middle of envisioning his married life with Rin.

“Why are you so slow?” Kakashi looked at Obito, then looked at the room and asked.

“I was thinking about whether or not to have children,” Obito blurted out in response.

Kakashi: …

Kakashi took a step back, looking at Obito rather cautiously, and carefully surveyed his surroundings.

“Don’t think nonsense, it’s just the plot of the Ninja novel I’m reading!” Obito waved his hand, explaining.

Kakashi gave Obito a speechless look but was too lazy to retort, saying, “Rin asked if you want to go to the Six Paths City night market together tonight.”

Obito’s eyes instantly lit up, but looking at Kakashi, the light dimmed slightly. “Sure, there’s nothing else to do anyway. What about Rin?”

Each round had five days of rest, so one evening would be enough to finish studying Rasa’s information.

“She’s probably asking Shisui and Asuma,” Kakashi replied.

“Oh, I see,” Obito showed a thoughtful expression. He guessed this time it was a group outing with friends.

Of course, Obito would also be happy going out with his friends, but he would be even happier going out alone with Rin Nohara.

After gathering in the evening, Obito noticed a familiar figure missing, so he asked, “Where’s Guy? Isn’t he coming?”

Rin Nohara nodded and explained, “Guy said he’s close to mastering the Armament Haki Secret Technique, so he wants to train more and try to master the Armament Haki Secret Technique before the third round begins.”

“As expected of Guy,” Obito praised.

When he first started training with Muzuki, Obito was a bit unaccustomed to it because it was indeed more tiring and intense than Ninja Academy.

Whenever Obito felt he couldn’t hold on, he would think of Might Guy and then motivate himself with Might Guy’s effort.

Becoming Muzuki’s disciple alongside Might Guy, Obito truly felt very fortunate.

Before, when he wasn’t familiar with Might Guy, he used to secretly laugh at Might Guy.

They were both known as dead last, but in reality, Obito’s grades were better than Might Guy’s, only earning him the reputation of a well-known dead last because of the Uchiha surname.

After truly understanding Might Guy, Obito had only admiration for him.

“After all, the opponent is that Raikage candidate. Guy must be under a lot of pressure,” Asuma said.

The rules of Hidden Cloud Village are a bit special. Every Raikage’s name is Ay, and whoever is granted the name Ay is the designated Raikage; as long as they don’t die before succession, they will definitely become Raikage.

Due to the uniqueness of the rules, Hidden Cloud Village is very cautious in selecting people, and every Ay is a top-tier powerhouse who dominates the Ninja World.

The New AB Combo performed quite remarkably in the Third Shinobi World War. Now, the Ninja World generally believes that Fourth Raikage Ay has the strength to serve as a Kage, but he has not yet succeeded.

“It’s not pressure; it’s because Guy doesn’t want to retreat a second time,” Kakashi shook his head and said lightly.

They had once experienced a life-or-death crisis involving Fourth Raikage Ay.

At that time, they were weak, and to avoid dragging down Muzuki, they could only retreat first.

Kakashi felt that this encounter might have made Might Guy want to defeat Fourth Raikage Ay.

“What retreat?”

Asuma and the other two were momentarily confused.

Obito also had a deep impression of this matter; as soon as Kakashi mentioned it, he instantly understood, so he explained it again.

“Guy is a true man!” Asuma gave a thumbs-up.

Whether he could win was one thing, but Might Guy’s spirit, he greatly admired.

“Let’s go. We still have a lot of time to spend in Six Paths City. We’ll ask Guy to join us when he has time,” Rin Nohara said with a gentle smile.

It was just a spontaneous small gathering; Might Guy not coming wouldn’t leave any regrets.

After the third round, there were still the top eight, Four Finals, and the finals, so they would at least have to stay in Six Paths City for more than half a month, and there would be many more opportunities.

Everyone nodded and set off together for the night market in Six Paths City.

Perhaps it was due to the Martial Arts Tournament, or perhaps Six Paths City was just bustling at night, but when Obito and his friends arrived at the night market, they found it exceptionally crowded.

“I want to eat takoyaki.”

“I want to try oden.”

Since there were quite a few people in the group, to make it more convenient and enjoyable, they split into three small teams.

Asuma, Kurenai Yuhi, and Raido Namiashi formed one team as members of the same squad.

The younger Yamato and Shisui formed another team.

Finally, Kakashi, Obito, and Rin Nohara formed a team.

“Damn Kakashi…”

Watching Kakashi once again display his Kamui in a mini-game at the night market, Obito muttered to himself.

Obito, unwilling to be outdone, quietly activated his Sharingan and showed off a bit as well.

“You’re using your Sharingan just to play a game?” Kakashi said with a look of disdain.

“Who knows if a certain someone used Transparent World,” Obito retorted self-righteously.

“Pfft.”

Rin Nohara couldn’t help but giggle, quickly covering her mouth with her hand as she watched the two of them, smiling.

Obito scratched his head, unsure what to say.

Kakashi suddenly sensed a gaze and quickly turned his head to look, only to see Nagato and his group.

However, besides Konan and Yahiko, there was also a red-haired Ninja whom Kakashi didn’t know well beside Nagato.

“Obito, good evening!” Yahiko enthusiastically walked forward and greeted Obito.

“Good evening,” Obito chuckled in response.

“How is it? This night market is pretty good, isn’t it?”

“It’s quite good.”

“Then you Guys have fun. We won’t disturb you for now. Let’s chat when we have time later.”

The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while and soon parted ways.

“Do I know this person?” Kakashi looked at Sasori’s back with a thoughtful expression.

He kept feeling that Sasori was looking at him, and Sasori inexplicably gave him a sense of familiarity.

But no matter how Kakashi recalled, he couldn’t find any relevant information in his memory, and with Obito starting to provoke him again, Kakashi had to temporarily give up thinking and go deal with Obito.

PS: Went to the bathroom twice, so it’s a bit late.

Please give me monthly votes.

I’ll try to write more tomorrow too, as it’s almost a crucial point.

However, if it’s too late, it might not happen, as I can’t stay up late every day. Today, it’s mainly because I promised to make up for a chapter yesterday, so I had to make it up.
