"As expected, no matter how many dark horses there are, the ones who survive to the end are still the children of the great ninja clan..."
"But isn't it a bit exaggerated that there are three Uchiha in the quarterfinals?"
The young ninjas all talked about this, and recalled the fear they usually felt when being dominated by the Uchiha children.
Fortunately, Obito's name was also on the list of the top eight, and he stood out like a Chihuahua among wolves, and quickly attracted most of the firepower:
"Everyone, wait a minute. Shouldn't we first discuss why Obito, who is at the bottom of the list, is also in the quarterfinals?"
"Wuwuwu, don't tell me you don't believe me. I am in the same group with Obito, and I still can't accept this fact..."
"He obviously doesn't use any weird moves like those dark horses. He just uses ordinary physical skills, but he can always defeat his opponents easily. It's really weird..."
"I think your group must be too weak, which is why Obito has the opportunity to take advantage of you..."
"Damn, Obito is so lucky, if only I were in his group..."
The reason why everyone thinks so is because Obito had always followed Hideki's advice and had never used chakra breathing in school in order to make a splash in the martial arts tournament.
So everyone's impression of him is still stuck on the previous period when he was the last one in the group.
Moreover, in the preliminaries, Obito did not encounter an opponent strong enough for him to display his true abilities.
The physical improvements brought about by ordinary breathing techniques alone are enough for him to easily defeat almost all of his peers.
But compared with Rin and the others' fancy moves, this inevitably seems a bit mediocre. No wonder everyone questioned the value of his advancement to the top eight.
"How can I repair it? You guys fell down even before I even started to exert my strength. You didn't even have a chance to perform..."
Obito on the stage was muttering indignantly,
"Humph, tomorrow you will know how powerful I really am..."
"Oh, oh…"
Hyuga Yoko, who was standing by, waved her folding fan and gloated,
"I heard before that you, who was born in the Uchiha clan, were the last one in the class. I didn't quite believe it and thought it was an exaggeration."
"I didn't expect that everyone thought so. It seems that what they said is true. It really makes me laugh to death. The Uchiha clan is really unlucky..."
"So what if I'm the last one?"
Obito yelled in dissatisfaction.
"Even if you are the last one in the class, you can still beat the genius through your own efforts!"
Hyuga Yoko was slightly stunned when she heard this, then she burst out laughing and said,
"It really fits the fantasy of the last-place student."
"Do you think that we geniuses just eat, drink and have fun every day?"
"Isn't it natural to work hard?"
"Everyone is working so hard, how could a genius be defeated by you, the last one?"
Seeing that Obito was speechless, Yoko shook her head and said,
"It seems that your realm is not as good as that of Nohara Rin who was born as a commoner."
"If a loser can really beat a genius through hard work, it only means that he is not really a loser..."
"As for your situation, Uchiha Obito, I will personally evaluate you with my own eyes tomorrow."
After that, she was too lazy to pay attention to Obito anymore and began to close her eyes and rest.
Obito scratched his head and actually felt that what the other party said made sense.
Could it be that I am not the last one in the class, but a genius who has been buried before?
Hideki, who was secretly eating melon on the side, laughed in his heart.
It seems that Obito's level of mouth persuasion is still too low, no wonder he was so easily fooled in the original work...
Seeing that there was no melon to eat, he also began to announce loudly:
"Thank you for your hard work today."
"The main competition will be held here at 9 a.m. tomorrow, as usual. Don't miss it."
"That's it then, disband!"
Then all the students cheered and then dispersed...
…
At night, in a courtyard of the Uchiha clan.
"I am so disappointed in you..."
Uchiha Setsuna's voice sounded.
He was seen standing by the pond with his hands behind his back, looking down at the full moon reflected in the water, and speaking to Uchiha Tetsuka who was kneeling on one knee behind him.
"You are just dealing with the younger generation of the Shiranui clan, but you actually have to use the pupil power I lent you..."
"Tetsuka, have you forgotten what this pupil power is for?"
"I'm sorry, Elder Setsuna..."
Tetsuka lowered his head even lower and explained carefully,
"I didn't expect that he learned such a strange move from Hideki... from Kimura Hideki."
"I'm worried that if I lose accidentally, it will affect your plan..."
"Is it that Kimura Hideki again?..."
Uchiha Setsuna said with a deep look on his face,
"He does have a great talent for invention. It reminds me of that hateful Tobirama Senju."
"No wonder Shisui was bewitched by him for a while..."
"It's a pity that he doesn't have the bloodline of the Ninja Clan. He is just a fake after all and can only perform some trivial tricks."
"For us who possess the Sharingan and the Uchiha clan's thousand-year heritage, it has no meaning at all."
Having said that, Setsuna's pupils instantly turned blood red, and three black magatama patterns appeared on them.
"I will use the transcription seal to seal the pupil power in your eyes again."
"Tomorrow you will explain this principle to Shisui for me..."
"But I think you should also know... what the consequences will be if you fail again..."
…
Time quickly came to the next morning.
The playground of the Ninja School was bustling with activity early in the morning.
Many students and parents have already arrived, and are discussing matters concerning the school and the martial arts competition in groups of three or five.
The playground itself also looked different from yesterday.
The eight arenas have disappeared, replaced by a large arena and a temporary stepped auditorium built around it using earth escape techniques.
Hideki also arrived at the venue early today and got in touch with the ninjas he was familiar with.
"I heard that our Yosuke was defeated by a student you, Hideki, taught?"
While eating potato chips, Akimichi Choza said nonchalantly,
"It's true that being too smart is not good. It makes you timid."
"Fortunately, we have Sitou as a backup, otherwise it would be a shame that such a large ninja clan didn't have anyone make it to the quarterfinals."
While he was speaking, he kept glancing at Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Inoichi who were standing beside him...
Both of them had dark complexions, and after looking at each other, they suddenly attacked Choza with the tacit understanding of years of partnership.
Shikaku used a shadow binding technique to freeze Choza, and Inoichi took the opportunity to snatch the bag of potato chips from Choza's hand and poured it into his mouth...
"Inoichi, at least leave the last piece for me!!!"
Choza screamed like a victim.
Hideki on the side spread his hands and sighed. It was hard to imagine that these three were the young generation of geniuses in Konoha, second only to Minato.
After Inoichi licked the bag of potato chips clean, Shikaku untied Choza and he and Inoichi took a few steps back, ready to run away at any time.
Unexpectedly, Choza, who had just been screaming, suddenly took out a storage scroll from his arms with a calm face, opened it, and produced a large pile of bagged potato chips of various flavors.
Seeing that Shikaku and Inoichi were both surprised, Choza said proudly:
"It's all thanks to Hideki that you asked me to film an eating show. Now businesses send me food all day long. I hope I can let the products appear on the show."
"So I can't finish all these snacks. Inoichi, if you want to eat, just tell me earlier. I can have as much as you want."
Shikaku and Inoichi looked at each other, both feeling bored...
