Chapter 353 The Same Dream

Ninja School's training ground.

"Bang!"

With the sound and the light dust, Obito fell to the ground for who knows how many times. But in front of him, Kakashi looked as calm as usual.

"Let's stop here today. You are no match for me." Kakashi said lightly.

"The sparring is over, Kakashi wins, seal of reconciliation."

The teacher at the side shouted at this time, and Kakashi walked up to Obito and stretched out his hand to him.

Obito stared at him in a daze. After a moment, he snorted softly, grabbed his hand, and was pulled up.

According to the tradition of the ninja school, the two made a seal of reconciliation.

Obito glanced sideways, his mind was on Rin, and when Rin saw the two people reconciled, her eyes couldn't help but show joy.

However, in Obito's heart, there was a trace of bitterness and unwillingness.

So, he shook his hands vigorously, released the seal of reconciliation, and walked back to the line.

Kakashi certainly didn't care.

"You two are still the same as always."

On the rooftop, Minato looked down and smiled faintly, then suddenly disappeared from the spot.

In the evening, it was time for the ninja school to finish school.

Many parents came to pick up their children as usual, talking about their day at the Ninja School, and laughing happily from time to time as they walked.

Even the initially indifferent Suzuka turned into a gentle mother, and the indifferent Kakashi couldn't help but smile when he saw his mother who had been waiting for him for a long time outside the school gate.

Among the crowd, there was only a lonely thin figure passing by these students and parents.

"That guy"

Kakashi saw him, and at that moment he felt that the back figure was somewhat lonely, but at the urging of Suzuka, the two of them set out on their way home.

Somewhere outside Shinobi School, Minato was watching all this.

Obito left the school and did not return to the Uchiha clan. Instead, he ran along the streets of Konoha towards a remote location.

Konoha, back mountain.

Minato still remembered that he had initially practiced here. At that time, he was also alone, and he worked tirelessly just for that dream.

And at this moment, his eyes also reflected a diligent figure. He worked even harder than before. The hair on his forehead was soaked with sweat, but he still did not stop practicing.

But compared to Minato, Obito's talent is indeed a little weak.

At this time, a thin figure appeared again in the depths of the woods. She hid under a tree and did not say a word. She just silently looked at the sweaty boy in front of her.

Rin.

As the night grew darker, Obito continued to practice without stopping, repeating a series of Taijutsu, throwing out wooden ninja tools, then retrieving them and throwing them out again.

"Obito, come on!"

Rin murmured in a low voice that Obito couldn't hear at all, laughed lightly, and left quickly.

It's time for her to go home, otherwise her parents will be worried.

All of this was unknown to the carefree Obito. It was only the obsession in his eyes that drove him to continue practicing. Even when his body was tired and numb, he still refused to stop.

Until one moment, he was tripped by a stone due to exhaustion, and there happened to be a stone in front of his face.

However, Obito's entire body was sore that he couldn't make any movement. If he continued to be hit like this, his forehead would definitely be broken.

Swish!

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside him and grabbed him.

Obito was startled and lifted. When that handsome face appeared behind, he couldn't help but be startled.

"Minato-senpai!?"

Minato smiled at him and said, "Your training is indeed very hard, but excessive training is not good for your body."

As he said this, he put Obito down and took out some food wrapped in oil paper from his arms.

"Fill your stomach first, then you can practice better." Minato sat next to him and smiled at him.

Obito was startled when he heard this, his eyes turned slightly red and his lips were tightly pursed.

"Eat quickly. If the food gets cold, the energy content will decrease and it won't be able to fully replenish your physical strength." Minato urged.

"Hmm!" Obito came back to his senses at this time, responded, and started eating with relish.

Obito lay on the grass and patted his bloated stomach with satisfaction.

"You look much better." Minato glanced at Obito and chuckled.

Obito slowly sat up, looked at Minato, and asked, "Senior, why are you here?"

"Hmm," Minato thought for a moment, then looked at Obito and said, "Because this is where I used to come often."

"Here!? What are you doing here?" Obito was stunned.

Minato smiled and replied, "Same as you, training."

Obito was startled, and then he said in a loud voice: "A powerful ninja like you, Minato-senpai, actually wants to come here to train!?"

The former heard this and replied: "No matter how powerful a ninja is, there is always a beginning. At the beginning, I was just like you, coming here alone to practice every day."

"Alone." Obito's eyes sank slightly, and then he asked, "Don't you think this is hard?"

"Of course it's hard work." Minato smiled and said again: "However, for that dream, hard work and effort are the price that must be paid."

"Obito, what kind of dream do you have?" Minato asked.

Upon hearing this, Obito was slightly stunned, then his face turned slightly red, and he felt a little embarrassed.

However, when he looked into Minato's eyes, he felt relieved and trustworthy, so he said,

"I promised Rin that I would become the Hokage and protect her and the entire village!"

Minato was startled, then he chuckled in his heart: "Obito, your dream hasn't changed."

"Minato-senpai must think this is ridiculous. Someone like me who can't do anything well actually wants to be Hokage. It's just wishful thinking."

Obito said self-deprecatingly that it was fine before, but ever since Kakashi's appearance, he felt powerless.

Minato just shook his head at him and said, "Everyone has the right and freedom to pursue their dreams, and no matter what kind of dream it is, it is not impossible to achieve."

"I'm the same as you in this respect."

"Same? What!?" Obito was stunned.

Minato chuckled, then put his palm on his hair and rubbed it, saying: "My dream is to become a Hokage and protect you and all my companions living in Konoha Village."

Obito was stunned, his eyes lit up.

"We have the same dream and have both worked hard for it, so Obito, make a promise with me." Minato said with a smile.

"No matter what difficulties and setbacks you encounter, you must practice your own Ninja Way and become a Hokage to realize your dream!"

Looking at Minato's smiling face, Obito couldn't help but be stunned, and then his eyes flashed.

He immediately laughed and said, "I won't give up. Before that, Senior Minato, you must also realize your dream and protect this village as the Hokage. I will personally take over the position of Hokage and this Konoha Ninja Village from you!"

The two looked at each other, emotions surging in Minato's eyes, everything started over again, some history had changed, but this moment, it was so familiar.

"Then we have a deal!" Minato said solemnly, also laughing.

Minato and Obito, they have the same dream, and they are both working hard and growing for it!
