Naruto’s Hidden Shadow Snake

"Grandma, be careful, I'll take 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, wearing goggles, carried large and small bags, and helped an old lady deliver them to her door.

Many people noticed this scene on the road. Originally, some people wanted to praise this helpful young man, but when he accidentally saw the Uchiha clan emblem on the back of Obito, their expressions changed slightly, as if they were worried about something , silently turned and left.

"Thank you so much, there are not many children in the village who are helpful to others like you!"

The old grandma looked out of breath, with a silly look on her face, and kindly patted his head and said.

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

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

"Hey, good boy, I have nothing to give you, shall I give you these candies?"

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

"Thank...thank you!"

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

"Good boy, is this enough sugar?" Seeing Obito's unnatural expression, the old woman couldn't help asking, "If it's not enough, I still have..."

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

Obito finally couldn't hold it back any longer, and the whole group disappeared with a whoosh.

"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 mournful expression on his face.

"Damn it... I'm late again and again, Lin isn't here anymore...!"

Thinking of this important day today, Obito screamed again.

"Damn it, can it be that I am such an excellent genius, I can't bear it for ten thousand years?!"

clatter...

As soon as the words fell, countless ninjas flooded out of the mission hall. Everyone was talking and laughing, and Obito passed by, like water waves separated by rocks, completely ignoring the stiff Obito.

"..."

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

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

"Obito, you're late again~"

A gentle voice floated into Obito's ears, it seemed to be the most beautiful fairy voice in the world, and Obito, who had been dejected, turned around in an instant!

"You are the tail of the crane, you can't even do the agreed time round, and you haven't made any progress compared to last year. Even if you take the exam again, it will be embarrassing, right?"

Kakashi was still so in need of a beating, with his hands folded over his chest, his neck tilted, and a pair of dead fish eyes looking at Obito indifferently.

"Hahaha, don't rush to leave even if you are late, don't you still trust your classmates and teachers?"

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

This is the Chunin Exam Registration Form!

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

Obito tremblingly took the form, and seeing the warm smiles on Lin and Minato's sincere eyes, a smile finally appeared on his face.

This smile gradually widens,

until rampant!

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

"come on!"

Minato gave a thumbs up, with an expression that I like you very much.

"Tch, idiot!"

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

"Kakashi...!!"

Obito yelled loudly, the veins on his head were exposed, and even the people around couldn't help but look over.

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

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 awakened again, and he couldn't do it at all!

"I was only late today to help an old granny, or I—"

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

The disgust on Kakashi's face made Obito's face even uglier.

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

Lin stood up at the right time and said, "Thanks to Kakashi who used his shadow clone to transform into you, I got the registration form."

"snort--"

Obito raised his chin, "Since this is the case, I won't be as knowledgeable as you this time."

"..."

Kakashi looked at Obito who was comforted by Jae Rin and sighed silently.

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

However, the last Chunin exam was not long ago, and it may not be a good thing to hold it again so soon this time...

Thinking of his father's previous words and exhortations, Kakashi couldn't help frowning as he looked at Lin and Obito who were holding the form and looking relieved.

"Kakashi, people will grow up after all, you have to trust Obito and your partner, don't you?"

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

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

After all, he is the heir of that senior.

Namikaze Minato secretly thought.

"Mr. Kakashi, does Hokage-sama holding this Chunin exam 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 encouraging you normally by doing this.

And don't underestimate Obito and Lin, Obito's strength is actually not weak, although he didn't open the kaleidoscope of the Uchiha clan, but his attainment of fire escape is definitely top-notch among the Uchiha ninjas the teacher has seen.

The reason why he doesn't look strong may also have something to do with his xinxing. And Lin, as a medical ninja, she is also very good. "

Namikaze Minato said lightly.

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

And Minato's willingness to talk to Kakashi in this way is also a manifestation of his recognition of this genius disciple.

"I know, Minato-sensei, Obito... is still too kind..."

Kakashi hesitated, considering his words.

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

For example, Obito, helping the old lady cross the road twice in three days, really doesn't look like the actions of a Uchiha ninja, and I am afraid that there is only one person in Konoha.

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

He 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 Lin will definitely get preferential treatment as a medical ninja. Since Hokage-sama is holding the Chunin exam again, Lin's chances of being promoted 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 pass the first two rounds of exams, don't they still lack a teammate?"

The Chunin Exam, the first written exam, examines the ability of ninjas to gather information and make decisions.

The second trial in the forest of death tested the multiple abilities of the participants such as cooperative fighting, concealment, survival, and adaptability. It was the most basic assessment, and even medical ninjas had to participate.

This is still the assessment method formulated by Qianshou Feijian back then. It may change a little every year, but the essence is the same.

As Hatake Mosaku's son, Konoha's genius, Kakashi knew it the first time he participated.

"Ah, I know."

Minato Namikaze smiled, "Indeed, with Lin as a medical ninja in the team, it will be quite difficult to pass the second assessment.

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

"So... Sensei, have you already found someone to compete with them?" Seeing Minato's calm expression, Kakashi couldn't help but wondered.

It was very sudden that Sarutobi held the Chunin exam in advance this time, and many teams did not find suitable teammates.

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

"Minato-kun, so you are here."

A hoarse and magnetic voice sounded from the side, and Kakashi turned his head back, his eyes narrowed suddenly.

A man in beige clothing led a girl who was in their same grade and slowly walked towards them.

This girl was wearing a very capable grid inner shirt, had short hair with a distinctive personality, and an expression of avoiding strangers, but the ball in her hand made her temperament a little bit broken.

This girl also had a Konoha forehead protector on her head, but Kakashi seemed to have never seen it before, and she held the same Chunin Exam registration form as theirs in her hand.

"Master Orochimaru?!"

Kakashi didn't pay too much attention to the girl eating the meatball, his attention was completely on Orochimaru.

As the head of Konoha Sannin, Orochimaru's reputation is in full swing in the village. There have been gossip among the people that he will become Sarutobi's successor and serve as the fourth Hokage.

As the son of Mosaku Hatake, Kakashi has also heard his father mention this mysterious and powerful man many times, this ninja that makes his extremely powerful father feel inferior.

Kakashi usually only saw Orochimaru from a distance, but this was the first time he had such a close encounter.

Feeling the introverted and heavy sense of oppression on Orochimaru, the inexplicably cold oppression 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 in recent years." Kakashi secretly paid attention to Orochimaru, but Orochimaru stared directly at Kakashi with an interested smile on his face .

"Hahaha, Master Orochimaru was joking, how can the ninjas who have just graduated now compare to the ninjas tempered by the flames of war in your era?"

Namikaze Minato blew a wave of Orochimaru mellowly, "Of course the Kakashi cultivated by Mosaku-sama is indeed very good, I am very optimistic about him!"

"Oshemaru... my lord?!"

Seeing Orochimaru, Lin saluted Orochimaru naturally, but Obito's expression was a little unnatural.

It is not for other reasons. Facing the powerful ninja in the legend on weekdays, as Uchiha, who is still not taken seriously, Obito simply feels uncomfortable.

"You are Obito Uchiha, right?" Orochimaru stared at Obito, showing 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 strongest in the world."

"Huh... Me...?!"

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

Even Kakashi on the side and Minato, who had been smiling all the time, couldn't help but change their complexions.

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

"Hey...Take a good look at your strength. Doesn't that mean that you have no strength now? It seems that even Oshemaru-senpai thinks you are a weakling..."

Kakashi looked at Obito who was still in the process of metabolism, and couldn't help but start to brainstorm in his heart.

"Minato, this is the apprentice Hongdou I personally taught. 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 Hongdou's shoulder and said towards Minato.

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

This is the first time for Anko to participate in the Zhongnin Exam. Orochimaru didn't want to expose Anko. During this period, Anko was of great help to him, but Sarutobi's holding the Chunin Exam made him change his mind.

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

Minato also didn't know about Hongdou. Orochimaru asked Hongdou to join the team. Jilai also told him. Minato thought about it at the time and found that there was no reason to refuse.

Having a medical ninja in the team during the exam is definitely a huge disadvantage. In addition, Obito is unreliable, and Minato is also worried that he will not be able to find ninjas.

Although Minato didn't know about Hongdou's abilities, he fully believed that the children taught by Orochimaru could not be bad, especially because it was proposed by Orochimaru himself.

"I'm sorry Minato!"

Orochimaru looked at Minato and smiled, then pushed again

Even Kakashi on the side and Minato, who had been smiling all the time, couldn't help but change their complexions.

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

"Hey...Take a good look at your strength. Doesn't that mean that you have no strength now? It seems that even Oshemaru-senpai thinks you are a weakling..."

Kakashi looked at Obito who was still in the process of metabolism, and couldn't help but start to brainstorm in his heart.

"Minato, this is the apprentice Hongdou I personally taught. 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 Hongdou's shoulder and said towards Minato.
