Sasuke stared intently at the strange mask.
"Who wants to watch it with you?"
"that is!"
Sakura immediately chimed in.
Obito glanced at the two of them and sneered, "Uchiha brats, show some respect."
He leaned forward slightly, and although his expression behind the mask could not be seen, the suppressed lowness of his voice revealed a hint of danger.
"No matter what, I am still a senior member of the Uchiha clan. Besides... I cured your brother's incurable disease, so you should thank me."
Upon hearing this, Sasuke's pupils constricted sharply, and his face immediately darkened: "What did you say?"
He stared at the masked man in disbelief, his mind reeling.
What nonsense is this guy spouting?!
In an instant, Sasuke came to his senses, and anger surged to the top of his head.
"Hmph! You think I don't know? That fake in Akatsuki..."
"Who do you think you are, Uchiha?! That Sharingan of yours was probably stolen from another Uchiha, you beast!"
"Fake... counterfeit goods??"
Obito involuntarily sat up a little straighter.
"Uchiha Itachi is a fake?!"
He knew perfectly well whether Itachi was real or fake.
But why would Sasuke say that?
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +300!]
Sasuke saw the masked man's unusually surprised expression and felt a surge of vengeful pleasure.
He gave a cold snort, a disdainful smile playing on his lips: "Didn't expect that, did you? I saw through your schemes long ago! I, Uchiha Sasuke, will never fall for your tricks again!"
After saying that, Sasuke grabbed Naruto and Sakura, who were still stunned beside him. The three of them cautiously bypassed Obito and quickly walked to the other side of the audience, keeping a safe distance from the masked man's seating area.
Obito frowned as he looked at the three brats who treated him like a monster.
He was completely baffled.
What's this about fake Itachi and real Itachi?
Sasuke's words left him with many questions, but he couldn't figure them out for the time being.
Obito clicked his tongue, thinking to himself that they were just a few immature brats, not worth wasting his breath on, so he didn't bother to investigate further.
He leaned back in his chair, adopting an indifferent expression, and turned his attention back to the giant screen.
……
in the screen.
"Starting today, your seventh class can finally officially carry out missions."
A gentle and clear voice rang out.
Minato Namikaze stood before his three disciples, smiling as he assigned them tasks, his gentle demeanor tinged with anticipation.
Kakashi, Obito, and Rin stood side by side opposite Minato-sensei, listening quietly.
At this moment, they were all just inexperienced genin, green and inexperienced.
Minato held a mission request form in his hand and said loudly, "However, the missions you're receiving now are all from the village. For example, helping villagers find their pets or recover lost items."
Hearing this, Obito couldn't help but purse his lips and mutter a complaint: "Isn't this just doing menial tasks?"
Minato chuckled upon hearing this and shook his head gently, saying, "Even doing odd jobs is a very important task."
“Every request we receive represents the trust placed in us by the villagers, and we must take it seriously, no matter how simple the task is.”
Obito was still muttering to himself, looking rather uninterested.
However, Minato didn't blame you, but just sighed helplessly: "Only after you successfully complete these basic tasks will you have the opportunity to accept more important and difficult commissions. After all, the three of you haven't officially carried out any missions yet, so these are the best time to familiarize yourselves with the process. So, don't complain, just complete them seriously, understand?"
“Yes, Mr. Minato!” Rin answered crisply.
Her eyes were clear and earnest, without a trace of dissatisfaction.
Kakashi nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.
Kakashi listened to his teacher's words, lost in thought for a moment.
Did the "self" in the dream never actually carry out any mission?
He pondered silently, and then it dawned on him.
That makes sense. Since I didn't graduate from the Ninja Academy early in this dream, this is indeed my first mission according to the normal schedule.
Minato-sensei is right.
Having figured this out, Kakashi smiled slightly and nodded to himself.
Just as Kakashi was deep in thought, Obito's energetic voice suddenly rang out beside him: "Alright! In that case—Kakashi, let's have a showdown!"
"Huh?" Kakashi snapped out of his reverie at the sound and turned to look.
Obito clenched his fists with high spirits, his dark eyes burning with fighting spirit, and he seemed so excited that even the goggles on his head were shining.
He proudly raised his chin at Kakashi: "Let's see who completes more missions later!"
Kakashi was taken aback upon hearing this spirited declaration of challenge.
Looking at Obito's eager expression, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
How could he have almost forgotten this scene!
In reality, Obito also made the same challenge.
I agreed without hesitation back then, but ended up losing quite badly...
When he and Linman searched for something all day but found nothing.
Obito single-handedly completed all the team's tasks.
Because Obito was always willing to help others and often assisted elderly women, he was very popular among the elderly women of Konoha.
Therefore, Obito could easily handle tasks like finding things.
Thinking of this, Kakashi's eyes flashed slightly, and he chuckled inwardly: Since he already knew that this was a match he was bound to lose, how could he possibly accept it?
"Hmph, I'm not going to do something so boring."
Kaka, dressed in a suit, put on a disdainful look, turned his face away, and waved his hand. It sounded indifferent, but it was actually a little deliberate.
His refusal startled Obito, and the smile on Obito's face froze.
"Eh?"
Obito clearly hadn't expected Kakashi to refuse so readily.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Obito quickly came to his senses.
He narrowed his eyes, a mischievous grin spreading across his face: "Hey, Kakashi, you wouldn't happen to be—"
"Are you afraid?"
Kakashi stiffened upon hearing this, instinctively straightening his back. He coughed twice, "Cough, cough! How could I possibly be afraid of you!"
"Then compete against me!"
Obito immediately perked up, clearly not intending to back down.
"A competition?" Kakashi's eyes darted around. He looked up at their teacher, who was watching them intently, and said seriously, "Didn't Minato-sensei just say that even menial tasks are important? How can we use them as a competition? What if we ruin the task because of our competitive spirit?"
Upon hearing this, Minato paused for a moment, then smiled with satisfaction.
"Yes, Kakashi is right." He nodded in satisfaction and praised, "You can't act impulsively on any mission! Even small missions are related to the client's expectations, so you must take them seriously."
"Yes, teacher!" Kakashi replied respectfully.
Lin, standing to the side, had a radiant smile on her face as she looked at Kakashi with admiration: "Kakashi, what you said is so wonderful!"
In her eyes, Kakashi, though young, was always so steady and reliable, which made Rin secretly admire him.
Obito's fighting spirit was extinguished at a visible speed under the combined "offensive" of the two.
He stared dumbfounded at the teacher, then at Lin, who was giving him a look of approval, and finally lowered his head in dejection, scratching his messy hair in frustration: "Okay, okay..."
……
in the audience.
Obito was so angry that he trembled all over.
He slammed his fist on the armrest of his chair with a dull thud, and growled through gritted teeth, "Damn Kakashi, he's clearly scared! How dare he say something like that... Damn it!"
Obito's chest heaved violently, clearly indicating that he was extremely angry.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +400!]
A disdainful snort came from the side: "Hey, do you even know what you're doing?"
Naruto crossed his arms and retorted loudly, "Kakashi-sensei is a renowned elite Jonin of Konoha! He's afraid of that kid in the goggles on the screen? Don't be ridiculous!"
Sakura nodded emphatically, her face full of agreement: "Exactly! How could a mere little brat possibly scare Kakashi-sensei?"
"Kakashi-sensei is always serious and meticulous about missions, unlike some people who would joke about missions!"
Sakura and Naruto both have a great deal of trust in Kakashi's character.
After all, in their minds, Kakashi-sensei was a mature, steady, and experienced reliable Jonin who was always meticulous when carrying out missions with them.
How could such an excellent teacher be afraid of the provocation of a mere child of the same age?
In their view, Kakashi's actions on the screen were entirely due to his serious attitude towards the mission, rather than the "fear" that Obito claimed.
It can only be said that Sakura, Naruto, and the others spent too little time with Kakashi.
"Hmph!" Obito snorted coldly, his face full of disdain. "You're the ones who don't understand! Open your eyes and see clearly—Kakashi is destined to lose!"
"What did you say?" Naruto was taken aback, then frowned and glared at Obito, his face full of displeasure.
