"Shouldn't I be the one asking this to Nohara Rin-san?"
Seiji asked back, putting all the things into a cloth bag, hanging it diagonally on his body, and walked to the door.
When he looked outside, he could see Kakashi, who had already walked away.
Obito was not far from the school gate, seemingly waiting for someone.
"Didn't we agree that I'll teach Seiji-san ninjutsu?"
Nohara Rin spoke.
"I see."
Seiji nodded slightly.
As to whether Nohara Rin stayed here because of teaching him, or to see Kakashi who had to leave earlier due to something, he didn't care much.
The love triangle between Nohara Rin, Obito, and Kakashi can only be described as quite bloody.
It can be seen that Nohara Rin likes Kakashi from the fact that she gave him a unique medical kit, which also included a talisman she sewed herself.
But Obito likes Nohara Rin, and Kakashi and Obito are close friends.
"Let's go, then."
"Mm."
Nohara Lin nodded and followed Seiji out.
Kakashi was already far away and his figure could no longer be seen, blending into the bustling crowd.
"Rin, are you really going to teach this guy ninjutsu?"
Obito said.
He didn't want to leave Nohara Rin and Seiji alone, so such a good opportunity should be left to him.
"Seiji-san came to Konoha alone. We should help each other."
"All right."
Seeing that Rin insisted, Obito didn't know what to say.
He shamelessly followed the two to a training ground.
In Konoha, there are more than fifty training grounds for ninjas to practice and accumulate experience, and each one is different in shape and size.
Sometimes they are also used as examination venues. For example, for every Chunin Exam, a suitable venue will be selected from these training grounds.
They are not ninjas yet and are trainees, but they are also qualified to use these facilities.
As soon as their name is registered in the Ninja School, they are actually already a candidate ninja.
Even if there is a system for repeating a grade, if you take the test a few more times and can use the most basic three-body technique, you can pass and become a Genin.
The third training ground.
"It just so happens that there are not many people here."
Nohara Rin looked for a while and found that no one came here.
She coughed lightly, then said.
"Obito, you have to listen carefully. You won't pass the graduation exam at this rate."
"Hey, I get it Rin, no need to say it out loud."
Obito scratched his head and smiled.
As for his level of three-basic Jutsu, it can only be said that it is indeed poor.
Hence the reputation of being the last one in line.
"But I'm definitely better than this guy." Obito pointed at Seiji.
He was full of confidence in his heart. No matter how poorly he performed, he was still a person who had received systematic education.
How could Seiji, a semi-illiterate man who came from an unknown background and could only roughly refine chakra, be better than himself?
He is a member of the Uchiha clan and has heard a lot about Uchiha Seiji from his grandmother.
Now, countless eyes in the entire clan are staring at Seiji.
Everyone's impression of the Land of Lightning is not very good.
The second Hokage died at the hands of the Kumo Ninja. The war with the Land of Lightning had only ended for a few years, which was not enough to heal the hatred. Moreover, Obito's parents also died on the battlefield.
In addition to his family, many clan members have similar situations.
Being a ninja has never been a noble profession, but rather a dance on the edge of a knife, and no one knows whether they will have a delightful meeting with the reaper tomorrow.
"Obito."
Nohara Rin frowned slightly. It was not nice to say that to a classmate.
"It's okay. Please, Nohara Rin-san, start your explanation."
Seiji spoke up, ignoring Obito.
It is unknown whether Obito is now being secretly targeted by Uchiha Madara.
Seiji didn't want to gamble; he just wanted to stay away from him and buy himself time to become stronger.
As long as one has the surname Uchiha in Konoha, they will carry a portion of hatred.
The night when Itachi exterminated his clan and Danzo's coveting of the Sharingan were all problems that Seiji had to face.
But he doesn't have much time left. After graduating from the Ninja Academy, the Third Ninja World War will break out soon.
This was the most brutal war in history, so much so that children of only a few years old had to carry kunai to participate in the battle.
"Well, if you want to learn ninjutsu, you must first practice tree climbing."
Nohara Rin began to explain the tricks to Seiji.
In the original story, Kakashi also explained it to the "Team 7", but it was far less detailed than Nohara Rin's.
Seiji listened and asked Nohara Rin about the doubts he did not understand from time to time.
"Gathering an appropriate amount... of extracted chakra on the soles of your feet will create a force of adhesion on the soles of your feet."
In order to explain, Nohara Rin took off her shoes, revealing her feet.
She then told Seiji where the chakra gathered so that it could be absorbed with the least amount of chakra.
Then she put on her shoes, stretched her thumbs upward and overlapped them, with her left thumb on top, making the Ram seal.
Wearing ordinary little shoes, walking on a thick tree trunk is as easy as walking on flat ground.
Seiji looked up and saw Nohara Rin walking to a position almost close to the tree canopy. She waved her hand downwards, signaling the two people below to try as well.
"This is easy!"
Obito immediately imitated Nohara Rin's movements and formed hand seals, which he had already learned in school.
After refining a strand of chakra, Obito felt it was about right, so he guided the chakra to the soles of his feet and then stepped on it tentatively.
When he found that he didn't fall, he felt more confident, put his other foot on the tree trunk, and then walked upwards.
'Fortunately, I learned it.'
Obito thought secretly.
Then he turned his head, wanting to see Seiji's embarrassed face, embarrassed in front of Nohara Rin.
As a result, the next second, he fell down.
"Don't be distracted when controlling chakra."
Nohara Rin shook her head.
Obito rubbed his back in pain.
He endured the pain and stood up, saying:
"The next one is Seiji-san, right?"
"Yes."
Seiji nodded.
Started following the steps.
For the first time, he fell just like Obito.
He only walked one meter, which was far away from the tree canopy.
Then he started the second try.
Seeing this, Obito immediately started trying too.
He now understands the meaning of "you only regret not having learned enough when you need it" and he should have listened to more chakra control studies earlier.
Soon, two hours passed.
The light of dusk fell on the woods, and through the leaves, there were many mottled golden beams of light.
Nohara Rin's expression gradually turned into surprise.
Because she found that Seiji learned very quickly.
If it was just Seiji alone, nothing would be apparent, but with the comparison of Obito, the difference between the two could be immediately seen.
At the beginning, Obito could walk two meters, but now, he can only walk a maximum distance of three and a half meters.
But what about Seiji?
It's already five meters away, just a few steps away from the treetops!
Seiji listened quietly to the sound of the talent being completed coming from the panel.
"You have comprehended the talent: [Muscle Memory (White)]."
