Konoha's task master

Thirty-nine years of Konoha.

August 28th.

Saturday.

As the school bell rang, some students rushed out of the school impatiently. Before long, more and more students walked out of the school. Most of the senior students were carrying weapons and had ninja kits tied to their legs.

They looked like deputy ninjas, but there was no smile on their faces.

Most of the students in the lower grades were chatting and laughing together in twos and threes, and occasionally some were walking alone. Yakumo was leaning against the big tree said to be planted by Senju Hashirama himself at the entrance of the Ninja Academy, waiting for his friend whom he had not seen for a long time.

Familiar figures walked out of the ninja trainees. Kakashi's steps always contained a certain rhythm, which was the pace in the Hatake Secret Code, while Uchiha Obito was much more casual, more like an old man going shopping after eating.

woman.

"Hey, isn't this a busy man, Yakumo... I thought you were going to be so successful that you would ignore us friends." As soon as they met Uchiha Obito, he was the first to attack, his tone full of dissatisfaction.

"How could it be... We are good brothers for life. In your words... we are brothers who will share joys and sorrows in the future." Yakumo quickly smiled and catered. He could see that Uchiha Obito was not really dissatisfied.

"Then why don't you come and see your good brother."

Uchiha Obito curled his lips, his tone still dissatisfied, but he recognized Yakumo as a good brother.

"I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

"Since you are so righteous, I will forgive you this time!" Uchiha Obito said with a smile on his face.

These days of getting along have basically allowed Yakumo to figure out Uchiha Obito's character. He is carefree and does not hold grudges. He can solve all problems with a meal.

At this moment, Yakumo was suddenly hit by someone. He slightly lost his balance and took half a step back.

This person is indeed the angry-looking Sarutobi Asuma...

"What kind of ecstasy soup did you pour into my old man to make him talk about you every day?"

Sarutobi Asuma asked... He added the second half in his mind... He always mentions you when he beats me.

He would never forget... Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression when he mentioned Yakumo... It was kind and kind that he had never seen before, even more like a father.

That was a smile he had never seen before. His father was the Hokage. He could show a kind and kind smile to anyone in the village...but he was only...strict to his biological son.

"Thirdai-sama..." Yakumo thought for a moment.

"Smelly monkey, are you looking for trouble?" Obito Uchiha immediately protected Yakumo behind him. In his impression, Yakumo was just a medical ninja who was not good at fighting. Even if he could defeat the original Hiratani, he was still far behind Sarutobi Asma.

Still too big.

"Why... just you... this crane wants to stand up for him?" Sarutobi Asuma said to Uchiha Obito with a little disdain.

Uchiha Obito's face turned red and he mumbled with some dissatisfaction.

"I'm not the one behind the wheel!"

"I'm super strong, okay!"

The people around laughed happily.

"I'm really super strong!" Obito defended unwillingly.

"I thought of..."

"Twenty days ago, I heard that the Third Generation was coughing very badly. To care about him, one should pay attention to his health... This is normal, after all, Asuma, you would also care about the Third Generation's health, right?" Yakumo's eyes were extremely sincere.

These words became particularly harsh in Sarutobi Asuma's ears, because he had never cared about his father, and he only contradicted and said, "You are not worthy of being Hokage at all..."

"Lord Hokage has worked day and night for...Konoha, burning his heart and soul. As a generation protected by him, it is extremely normal to be grateful and caring for the Third Generation."

Yakumo spoke loudly again with an extremely sincere expression. Due to his improvement in strength, he could sense that Youdao's secret gaze always stayed on Sarutobi Asuma.

That was the ANBU that arranged to protect the son of the Hokage... This is normal. After all, Sarutobi Asuma is the son of the Hokage and can be used as a negotiating tool.

Of course, his real purpose in saying these words at this time was to hope that the ANBU could spread the words to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"...Why have I never known how to be grateful?" Sarutobi Asuma suddenly asked himself in his heart, as if the hard wall was torn open by Yakumo's words, and tears of guilt poured in.

"Shut up! Don't say any more!"

Sarutobi Asuma suddenly clenched his fist and slammed it hard against Yakumo's face. Just when Masako Mori was about to take action, a white figure mixed with lightning suddenly appeared between the two of them, with the sound of wind and thunder in his movements.

Kakashi bowed, grabbed Asuma Sarutobi's right wrist, used force with his feet to select quickly... and then threw it like a sandbag.

"If you want to fight, come to me next time."

Kakashi spoke calmly, and his actions triggered the emotions of the audience... in an instant.

"Wow wow wow, Kakashi is so handsome!"

"Kakashi is so cool, I love it, I love it."

"...Kakashi-sama!!"

At this moment, the focus belongs to Kakashi.

Even the two conflicting protagonists are ignored.

Sarutobi Asuma's body hit the wall heavily, which seemed to shake him awake. He struggled to get up and desperately squeezed through the crowd, heading towards... the direction of the Sarutobi tribe.

leave.

This inexplicable farce ends here. Kakashi did not deliberately act cool, but his character and strength combined with his every move can easily ignite the nerves of fans.

"Kakashi is really cool..."

Even though she was far away from the ninja school, Nohara Rin still looked like a fangirl. This scene made Obito Uchiha feel even heavier.

"Standing next to a genius, you have to get used to your own light being overshadowed by it, or work side by side with the genius." Yakumo patted Obito's shoulder and consoled him.

He hopes that Obito can rise up soon, so that he won't have to work so hard when he changes his fate against the odds in a few years.

Hearing this, Obito couldn't help but start asking himself.

Is he really willing to be a foil?

"Of course I am unwilling..."

At this moment, Obito suddenly understood that he was unwilling to be overshadowed by Kakashi for the rest of his life, and he was unwilling to be the eternal background wall.

"Can I really do that?"

"Of course, I believe you can..."

"Thank you... Yakumo." Uchiha Obito sincerely thanked him, and then he walked towards Kakashi, his footsteps getting faster and faster, but the look on his face became more and more calm, until he blocked Kakashi's front and blocked it forcefully.

its pace of progress.

"Perhaps it's because I've looked at his back for so long that I feel... unsurpassable." Obito thought in his heart.

Just when everyone was wondering what Obito was going to do, he raised his arm and pointed at Kakashi's face and spoke.

"One day..."

"I want to stand side by side with you..."

Uchiha Obito shook his head.

"No, one day, I will surpass you!"

At this moment, the carefree boy looked more serious than ever before, and he made a solemn announcement to Kakashi.
