"Ah?"

Kakashi was a bit dazed.

It was Obito Uchiha who ran over and slapped him on the back, waking him up from his dazed state.

"Kakashi, you're something! You passed!"

"And when did you learn Great Fireball Technique?"

Obito Uchiha was genuinely happy for Kakashi. After all, Kakashi was the opponent he had recognized.

For the next assessment, he would also go all out and surely pass.

"Oh, I remembered the hand seals after seeing you use it once before, and then I just tried it casually and learned it."

"It's not that hard."

After the initial surprise, Kakashi regained his cold demeanor again, although the excitement flickering in his eyes couldn't be hidden no matter what.

"Damn it! If you can't talk properly, just don't say anything."

"I'm afraid I'll be annoyed to death by you before I even get on stage!"

Obito Uchiha gave Kakashi a vicious glare, then turned to look at Chiyama Gekko on the stage.

"Obito Uchiha, Sensei Chiyama Gekko, please teach me!"

With a leap, Obito Uchiha jumped onto the training ground.

Chiyama Gekko nodded and casually waved.

"Come on, Obito Uchiha, let me see what you can do."

Obito Uchiha nodded firmly, then rushed towards Chiyama Gekko like a young calf.

There was no feint with a Shuriken, nor any ninjutsu, but he directly launched a Gitai charge.

This scene left everyone in the audience stunned.

They thought to themselves, is this guy really this reckless?

Even Chiyama Gekko frowned slightly. Good grief, could this Obito Uchiha guy be from Reckless Village?

Waving his fists and raising his legs, at this moment, Obito Uchiha made Chiyama Gekko seem to see the shadow of Guy.

"Have you specifically trained in Gitai?"

"For an Uchiha, this approach of yours is really quite unique."

Chiyama Gekko blocked with one hand. Whether it was a fist or a kick, he blocked them all.

Then he suddenly grabbed Obito Uchiha's right leg and threw him out.

Obito Uchiha wasn't flustered. He flipped and landed steadily.

Then he began to form hand seals. The same seals, the same Great Fireball Technique.

And the result...

"Whoosh..."

A wisp of fire instantly appeared from his mouth, but the expected fireball didn't materialize.

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

Chiyama Gekko covered his head helplessly.

"Obito Uchiha, maybe you should go back and practice some more?"

This really wasn't Chiyama Gekko trying to prevent him from graduating. It was just that this performance... was really abysmal.

"Uh, that was just a mistake!"

"Let's do it one more time!"

"Fire Release! Great Fireball Technique!"

Under the gazes of everyone, Obito Uchiha instantly blushed and quickly formed the hand seals again.

This time, the fireball finally appeared.

But compared to Kakashi's huge fireball, this fireball seemed a bit... puny...

"Sigh..."

Chiyama Gekko sighed. The next second, another examiner had activated the Body Flicker Technique and instantly appeared behind Obito Uchiha, placing his right hand on his head.

"Obito Uchiha, your assessment didn't pass. Keep working hard for another year."

Obito Uchiha's face instantly fell.

Subsequently, the examiner announced the end of this examination.

Chiyama Gekko sensed the aura of his teacher and disappeared from the spot using the Body Flicker Technique.

When he appeared again, he was already beside Orochimaru.

"Teacher, you're back."

Orochimaru smiled slightly.

"Chiyama-kun, the Wind Release you modified is not bad."

"It seems you really understood the Scroll I gave you."

"Tomorrow, come to my laboratory. It's time for you to do experiments with me."

Oh? Can I enter the laboratory? That's great.

I wonder what good stuff is in Orochimaru's laboratory. Well, I'll pay more attention then.

In the evening, behind the Hokage Rock.

Chiyama Gekko was sitting upright on a rock, looking at the sky.

"Chiyama-kun, do you have the habit of admiring the scenery?"

Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind him.

"Lord Sakumo Hatake, is it really okay for you to be so stealthy?"

Chiyama Gekko had already noticed someone approaching. After all, his perception ability was quite strong.

When he heard the voice, he knew it was Sakumo Hatake, Konoha's White Fang.

"Hehe, just a habit picked up on the battlefield."

"I wonder what Lord Sakumo Hatake wants with me?"

As the saying goes, one doesn't go to the temple without a reason. He didn't believe Sakumo Hatake had nothing to do with him.

"Thank you for what happened to Kakashi today. I can tell you held back."

"Kakashi and I get along really well, and he's already strong enough to graduate. A genius who can use the Shadow Clone Technique and has chakra nature transformation, anyone can see that he already has strength beyond that of a Genin."

Hearing Chiyama Gekko praise Kakashi, Sakumo Hatake shook his head with a smile and casually said, "He still has a long way to go."

"Chiyama-kun, what's your opinion on Sunagakure?"

Here it is. This is the main event.

"Sunagakure? A declining village that has always been eager for the fertile land of Konoha Village."

"Didn't they launch attacks against us during the first two Shinobi World Wars with the intention of occupying our land?"

Sakumo Hatake nodded. Chiyama Gekko's analysis was right.

The Land of Wind lacks fertile land, making their living environment rather difficult.

But at the same time, the ninjas in the village have high qualities. Starting a war is also to seek land and improve their lives.

"You did a great job handling the matter of the Cloud Hidden Village."

"I'm looking for you today regarding something related to Sunagakure."

"In the near future, the Third Shinobi World War might break out."

"Before that, we need to go to Sunagakure to gather intelligence. I'd like to invite you to join my team and go together."

Hearing this, Chiyama Gekko frowned slightly.

It wasn't that he refused to take on the mission, but that he thought of the cause of Sakumo Hatake's death.

In the original story, during an intelligence-gathering mission, he chose to abandon the mission to save his companions, and as a result, he was blamed.

Ultimately, the gossip in the village broke his heart, causing this elite ninja level powerhouse to choose to end everything by suicide.

Judging by the time, it should be this mission.

"Don't worry. This mission is mainly focused on gathering intelligence and won't be very dangerous.

"With me going along and your Concealment skills, aren't you still not at ease?"

Minato thought that Chiyama Gekko was frowning due to the difficulty level of the mission and then tried to persuade him.

"Ah, it's not because of this. I'm worried that if I'm away from home for too long, my little brother will miss me, haha."

"Since Lord Minato has personally extended an invitation to me, how could I refuse?"

"When the mission kicks off, just give me a heads-up and I'll rejoin the team right away."

"After all, I'm currently under Lord Orochimaru's guidance and still need to learn from him and assist him."

Let's go. He's never been to Sunagakure before. Let's see if he can do some side gigs during the mission.

Those folks from Cloud Hidden Village last time supplied him with a fair amount of money and provisions.

Alas, it's a shame that during his time in Taki no Kuni, he was solely focused on stealing the Seven-Tails. Why didn't he think of bringing back some valuable items? What a huge blunder!
