Chapter 297: Double Standard Konoha Ninja
Kakashi saw this and asked: [Why, you don't congratulate me? ]
[I don't want that! Just wait and see, I'll catch up with you soon! Remember this!]
After saying that, Obito ran away.
Looking at Obito's back, Kakashi spread his hands innocently.
Screen turn
Obito sat on the bench, wondering what he was thinking about.
Lin approached him and said, "It's time to go to class. Let's go."
[Lin... You said you would keep an eye on me, right? I will catch up with that guy! And I will definitely surpass him and become Hokage! ]
Lin nodded gently and said seriously: [Yes, no problem. I will always pay attention to you. ]
Ninja World
"It's hard to imagine that this guy once dreamed of becoming a Hokage..."
"Why should Lin pay attention to him? Watch him kill his teacher and his wife with his own hands?"
"If kindhearted Lin saw Uchiha Obito now, I'm afraid she wouldn't even look at him."
"Before this guy opened his Sharingan, I really couldn't help but have a good impression of him. But when I thought about what he did later, this good impression immediately disappeared."

[What a joke! That bastard! ]
[Who can bear to go on a mission with him? ]
[Don't be angry, Kakashi will be withdrawing from the team soon. ]
Hearing the discussion of the two ninjas in front of him, Obito, who was holding a package in his arms, was stunned for a moment.
[But…]
Until the two of them passed by Obito.
From behind the two of them, Obito's weak voice was heard.
「Um, sorry……」
The two ninjas heard the sound and turned around.
Obito asked nervously: [The Kakashi you two are talking about, is it Hatake Kakashi? ]
【ha? 】
【Who are you? 】
Obito explained: [I was Kakashi's classmate at Ninja School.]
[So you two are friends? ]
Without even thinking, Obito denied: [No. We are not that close?]
[Isn't that guy super annoying? ]
[It's impossible to carry out the mission if I'm grouped with that kind of person. ]
Obito lowered his head: [Mission? I see... Kakashi can already do missions. ]
Then he looked up and asked: [What happened before? ]
One of the ninjas frowned and said in disgust: "That bastard, even if his compatriots were injured or surrounded by the enemy, he would turn a blind eye and prioritize the mission. 】
[Who would want to work with him if he were like that?]
[If you are unlucky enough to be assigned to the same team with him in the future, you must be more careful. ]
After saying that, the two Konoha ninjas left.
Obito stood there in a daze.
'Mission...priority?'
He recalled Kakashi's words in his mind: "I must save my companions. This is my way."
"How could he...?"
……
Ninja World
"I have heard a little about the White Fang incident. Thinking back on it now, it is really terrifying. White Fang was clearly carrying out a confidential mission. How could the ninja he rescued have the courage to make it known to everyone?"
"I also know a little about White Fang's affairs, so I just want to say, how can people be so mean? White Fang was criticized for saving his teammates, and Kakashi was still criticized for not saving his teammates. Is this deliberately targeting the Hatake father and son? The double standards have been played out by the Konoha ninjas."
"Tsk! If Kakashi hadn't saved his teammates, the grass on the graves of these two ninjas would be half a meter high by now."
"No matter what he's been through, Kakashi is still Kakashi, not like Obito who went to extremes. Kakashi just looks aloof, how could he not save his teammates?"
"Uchiha Obito is holding a package, and the expressions of these two Konoha ninjas from behind look like a silly roe deer."
"This guy is really kind now."

After school
Obito quickly ran to Rin's side.
[Hey, Lin. Have you seen Kakashi recently? ]
[No, at most I occasionally glimpsed him on the street. He was always on a mission outside the village. Why are you asking this suddenly?]
Obito was a little worried.
[Yesterday I heard some rumors about Kakashi, and they weren't good. The last time I saw him, he had changed a lot.]
Lin worriedly said: [I wonder if it’s because of his father’s matter? ]
Obito quickly asked: [Do you know anything? ]
[Unclear. 】
【That's it...】
The two walked to an intersection, and Lin waved her hand and said, "Bye, Obito. See you tomorrow."
Obito absentmindedly pulled his hand out of his trouser pocket: [Hmm.]
On the way home, Obito met Kakashi who was sitting on the ground with his knees hugged, looking into the distance.
He walked up to Kakashi, put his hands on his waist, and asked casually: [Hey, Kakashi. How are you doing recently? ]
The atmosphere was silent for a while. Seeing that Kakashi did not answer, Obito continued: [I heard a lot of comments about you. They said that you performed well.]
Seeing that Kakashi still didn't speak, Obito asked with concern: [Are you having any difficulties? If there is anything you are worried about...]
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Kakashi.
[I haven't fallen to the point where I need you to worry about me. ]
[You...] When Obito said this, he suddenly caught Kakashi's eyes.
Empty, dead silence...
Obito swallowed back what he was about to say.
【Don't bother me. 】
Kakashi said as he walked away.

Sarutobi clan
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed.
"Alas. If Obito had not fallen into darkness, with his abilities, it would not be a problem for him to realize his dream and become Hokage in the future."
Seeing Obito become like this, he believed that the other party must have his own goals.
If I set my goal on protecting the village and becoming Hokage...
He would probably wake up laughing in his dreams.

From then on, Obito practiced even harder.
In order to catch up with Kakashi, he refused to stop even on a rainy day.
Throwing techniques, ninjutsu, and the technique of training abdominal muscles with umbrella lizards...
At this time, Lin came over holding an umbrella.
[Found it, Obito. 】
【Lin? 】
Obito was stunned, then fell from the tree while dancing.
Lin quickly threw away her umbrella and ran over.
【Are you okay? 】
Obito immediately sat up, scratched the back of his head embarrassedly and said: [My foot slipped, it's okay. ]
[Are you still practicing in such a heavy rain? ]
Obito looked a little depressed and said: [Yeah. I just think I have to work harder if I want to catch up with that guy.]
[That guy? ]
[That's Kakashi. One day I will make him admit defeat. Otherwise, how can I become Hokage? Besides, that guy is already able to go on missions, so if I don't work harder, he will leave me further and further behind! ]
Lin encouraged: [You have ambition! Come on, Obito.]
Obito's cheeks flushed slightly.
【it is good! 】

Graduated from Ninja School.
[Oh no, oh no, oh no! ]

"Who was assassinated this time, the grandfather or the grandmother?"
"Does this guy have a disease that will cause him to fall into darkness if he is not late?"
"Is it constipation? Is that why it took so long? Then we should go find Kakashi and ask him to use Konoha Taijutsu Secret to help relieve constipation."
"Tsk. I guessed the result."
"I guessed it too! It's obvious that Lin was the one who cleaned his ass."
Someone had an invisible hero halo on his head: "Lin is a very likable girl. It's a pity that I was not born in Konoha Village, otherwise I would definitely pursue her."
