Time flies and two days have passed quickly.
They had arrived at the playground of the Ninja School early in the morning in their second year, waiting for the arrival of the teacher.
Chika glanced at the entire place and found that Obito had already arrived.
He walked up to Obito and asked curiously, "Why did you come so early today? Didn't you help the old lady sell flowers?"
Obito glanced at Chika and replied, "I already helped."
"Then why aren't you late?"
"Haha, I have my own way!" Obito smiled proudly, reached into the ninja tool bag on his waist, and took out a bunch of flowers, "Look, I have bought all the flowers for the old lady, so she doesn't need to sell them today, and I won't be late!"
"You win!"
Chika was shocked by Obito's extravagant actions. That old lady must have become rich entirely because of you!
"Do you think I would waste money? I bought these flowers to give to Rin. This way, I can kill two birds with one stone!"
As if seeing through Chika's thoughts, Obito looked at Chika with disdain and put the flowers back into the bag.
Ninja school is such a good place to pursue girls, but Chika is just studying hard and his brain is really not smart at all.
"Okay, classmates, everyone is here, right?"
At this time, Teacher Ryoichi had also arrived. He was holding a notebook in his hand and standing in the middle of the examination room.
"Well, the practical test is about to begin. The first group is Okajima Nori vs. Toda Shinji!"
As the two boys came on stage, they made opposing signs to each other, and after Ryoichi shouted "start", they rushed towards each other.
Chika watched with interest at first, but as the two of them only engaged in physical combat, he lost a lot of interest.
Students of this age do not have many skills, and they mostly fight each other with shuriken's and taijutsu.
Moreover, these two were just civilian ninjas without any special skills.
Soon, with the victory of one of the young boys, the two made a seal of reconciliation with each other, and the battle ended.
After Ryoichi scored the performance of the two people, he continued to announce the next group's battle.
"Uchiha Obito VS Hyuga Tengji!"
"Yoho, it's my turn to perform!"
Hearing his name, Obito jumped excitedly to the middle of the playground.
This battle between Uchiha and Hyuga attracted everyone's attention.
Chika also became interested. He wanted to see how the future boss of the ninja world would perform.
"Tengji-san, face the shuriken of my great Uchiha clan!"
Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Obito took the lead in launching the attack. He reached into his ninja tool bag and pulled out dozens of shuriken.
With a wave of his hands, the shuriken spun at high speed in the air and flew towards Tengji at different angles.
Even though Obito is the last in the class, his performance is dragged down by his theoretical results. In actual combat, he is not weak.
With just this one shuriken trick, his skill is almost as good as Chika's.
Of course, Tengji on the opposite side was no pushover either. He adopted the Hyuga clan's special stance, and with three consecutive palm strikes he dissolved Obito's shuriken and then rushed towards Obito.
"Humph, you actually neutralized my shuriken. You are worthy of being my opponent! Looks like I have to finish you off in close combat!"
As Obito spoke, he prepared to take out a kunai from his ninja tool bag.
After all, they are from the Hyuga clan, and without weapons they are no match for them in close combat.
At this time, Tengji had already come to Obito's side, and his bandaged palm had already blasted out.
In a hurry, Obito didn't care about anything else. He just took out an item from his bag and held it in both hands and held it forward.
Tengji was also startled and immediately moved his arms away, fearing that his palm would be pierced. However, when he saw clearly what Obito took out, he was stunned.
The people watching were also stunned. They saw Obito take out a handful of roses. The bright red flowers were covered with morning dew and emitted colorful light in the sun.
The scene suddenly became quiet.
"this"
"Is Obito confessing his feelings?"
"What a touching story the Hyuga and Uchiha clans have to tell?"
"Tengji is a boy!"
"Boys can't accept Obito's confession? You are discriminating against the same sex!"
Listening to the whispers outside the venue, Tengji felt humiliated and his whole face turned red.
Damn it, he made such a fool of himself!
Wouldn't it be delivered privately?
Filled with anger, he snatched the flower from Obito's hand, stomped on it hard, then slapped Obito on the forehead, knocking him fourteen or fifteen meters away.
"Ahhh! It hurts! Damn the Hyuga clan for being so harsh."
Obito covered his face and said to Ryoichi: "Teacher Ryoichi, I took the wrong thing, I want a rematch!"
"Idiot, you put such a mess in your ninja tool bag, and you still have the nerve to ask for a rematch? Uchiha Obito, the last one."
Teacher Ryoichi walked forward without even turning his head. As he walked, he wrote down Obito's score in the examination book. Then he turned to the student and said:
"Dear students, although someone has given you a low score, you still have to be in good shape. If you want to survive in this cruel world, you must be in your best shape to deal with emergencies. Don't be like someone! He won't survive long on the battlefield!"
"Did you hear that?"
Chika stepped forward and patted Obito's back: "You won't survive long on the battlefield like this!"
Obito ignored Chika's attempt to take advantage of his situation, hugged Ryoichi's thigh, and begged, "Ryoichi, please give me another chance!"
"I can give you one chance, go ask those enemies if they can give you another chance!"
Teacher Ryoichi suddenly roared.
Now Obito didn't dare to say anything more. He squatted in a dark corner with a pout on his face.
The other students looked at the Teacher with some fear, who suddenly had a ferocious expression. They had never seen Teacher Ryoichi so angry before.
Teacher Ryoichi looked at everyone's eyes, then took a deep breath, softened his tone, and said earnestly:
"In the Ninja School, I can give you opportunities again and again, but outside, who will give you another chance?"
"The world of ninjas is cruel. Failure is not allowed. Even if you fail just once, the price you pay may be your life!"
"Even if you survive by chance, you may lose more! Even your companions who have been through thick and thin with you may be killed by you."
As he spoke, there was a slight fluctuation in Mr. Ryoichi's dull tone.
Chika noticed this keenly and looked up at Ryoichi, just in time to see a hint of pain in Ryoichi's eyes.
He sighed slightly; this is also a person with a story.
After World War II, the number of Konoha ninjas decreased a lot.
In addition, ninjas are needed everywhere, so relatively speaking, the teachers in ninja schools may have been elites in the past, but now they are also people who cannot go to the battlefield due to various personal reasons.
And seeing how Teacher Ryoichi said these things to them with such good intentions, it seemed that he also suffered a great loss on this point.
As for what it was specifically, Chika felt there was no need to delve further into it.
In the world of Naruto, the natural law of the survival of the fittest makes such stories common.
