Chapter 298 Chunin Examination
on screen
Even though Yilin had a gentle personality, she couldn't help but speak in a heavier tone at this moment.
[It's unbelievable! I was late for both the entrance and graduation ceremonies, and the graduation ceremony was already over! ]
Obito lowered his head.
[But I met an old lady...]
Lin put her hands on her hips: [Obito, the probability of you encountering an old lady is a bit high, right? ]
[Yeah, I don’t know what’s going on, but I keep getting ambushed recently.]
Lin was very disappointed and said: [Really good! Isn't this knowingly committing a crime? ]
Obito pouted and glanced to the side.
Lin sighed helplessly: [You...]
She grabbed Obito's hand and said to him: "Okay, follow me."

Ninja School Graduation Ceremony
Lin held Obito's graduation certificate and read: [Graduation Certificate: Uchiha Obito. This proves that this student has graduated from the Konoha Ninja Academy. Also, rain or shine, you have persisted in your hard training.]
After that, she handed the graduation certificate to Obito and said with a smile: [Here, congratulations on your graduation. ]
【Lin...】
Obito's eyes were filled with tears.
He wiped his tears and took it with both hands.
"Thank you, Lin. Although there is no one here to witness this, I am happier than receiving the certificate from Grandpa Hokage."
Lin put her hands on her hips and said, "From now on, we are Genin, so you better cheer up."
[Yeah! I know! ]
Obito thought of something and asked: [So, to become a Genin, you have to form a team of three to do missions, right? Has the group list been announced? ]
[Yes, it has been announced.]
[Then, Lin and I...]
Lin lowered her head, looking a little depressed: [We...]
Obito's pupils shrank: [Could it be...]
'Not grouped together?'
……
Ninja World
"Lin is so sinister! Hahaha!"
"I didn't expect this gentle little girl to have such a side."
"Look how scared our little criminal is. He's about to open his eyes."
"Even I can't help but like this little girl a little. No wonder Uchiha Obito went crazy after her death."
In the divine space
Obito's eyes were full of Rin, who lowered her head and pretended to be depressed.
"Lin..."
Looking at Lin like this, Obito's mouth curled up in an arc that he didn't even notice.
"Wait for me, we will definitely meet again. In that new world of peace and happiness."

Lin raised her head: [Unfortunately, we are assigned to the same class.]
[Isn’t it? 】
Obito's tone was full of surprise.
[Really, I still have to continue taking care of you. ]
【Great! Great! 】
After the excitement passed, Obito asked: [Who is the remaining person? ]
【Well...】
Lin's pretty face turned slightly red.
Screen turn
Kakashi crossed his arms across his chest.
[Too slow, Obito. ]
Minato smiled and said: [Finally you are here, you are Obito. ]
【I'm waiting for you. 】
Obito panted: [Finally caught up. ]
Kakashi said impatiently: [You are already late for a long time. ]
Minato said: [I am Minato, your superior from today on. Please take care of me.]
Obito gave a thumbs up: [Okay! ]
[Anyway, let's do an initial drill first. This drill is to test your teamwork ability.]
Hearing Minato's words, Obito and Kakashi glanced at each other.
[As for the content of the exercise, this is it.] As he said this, Minato took out two bells from his pocket.
Screen turn
Obito, dressed in a dishevel, slumped on the ground, gasping for breath.
Rin and Kakashi weren't much better.
Kakashi spread out his palms.
In the palm of his hand, there was a bell.
[All of you have passed. Then, you will start taking on tasks starting tomorrow.]
Obito immediately perked up.
[Great! I will show you my strength through actual combat! ]
[That being said, at the beginning, all the missions were within the village. ]
Minato explained: [Like finding pets, searching for lost items, etc.]
【Isn’t this just a chore? 】
[Odd jobs are also tasks. Only if you complete them well can you be assigned more important tasks.]
As he said that, Minato looked at Kakashi: [Kakashi has participated in many actual combat missions. I guess you will not be happy if I ask you to do this kind of mission now, but I hope you can complete it well. ]
Obito said energetically: [Okay! Kakashi, compete with me! Let's see who can complete more tasks starting tomorrow!]
[Boring, go play by yourself. ]
Obito challenged: [Are you scared? ]
【What?】 Kakashi glanced at Obito.
The two men's eyes met, and both were unwilling to give in.
……
Ninja World
"I didn't expect Kakashi to be able to snatch the bell from Minato."
"Uchiha Obito in the past seems very similar to Naruto. It seems that people like him can easily win the favor of others, what a pity..."
"It scares me to think about it. It's all thanks to Iruka that Naruto didn't become what he did later."
"Obito and Kakashi, Naruto and Sasuke, they were all like enemies at the beginning. Madara and Hashirama were a little more harmonious at the beginning."
Somewhere in the ninja world
Zabuza said with emotion: "In my eyes, Konoha Village was just a peaceful village for all Konoha ninjas to play ninja games. Now, looking back, I envy their atmosphere."
Maybe it’s because you don’t want the people you care about to take risks with you?

The days passed by.
One day
on the bridge
Obito rested his chin on his hand, bored.
[What is Minato-sensei doing? He called us over but he himself is late. I am really impressed.]
Kakashi said in a gloomy tone: [How dare you say that? ]
Obito instantly exploded: [What did you say? ]
【Um? 】
[Looking for trouble and fighting? ]
Lin quickly tried to smooth things over.
[You two, stop arguing. ]
Obito continued to get angry: [Ah? Did you just laugh at me?! ]
[So what? ]
Just then, Minato finally arrived.
[Sorry for the long wait, everyone is here now. 】
Obito hurried over and asked: [Minato teacher, is there a new mission? ]
【Today is different.】
Minato pulled out three Chunin Exam application forms from his pocket.
Obito asked in confusion: [What is this? ]
[Volunteer form, I have recommended you as a Chuunin. 】
Obito took a volunteer application and started reading it, his expression becoming more and more excited.
[Minato-sensei! I love you so much! ]
As he said this, he grabbed Minato's waist.
[Oh, don't be too happy too soon. If you want to become a Chunin, you have to pass the exam. There are three exams in total, and each one is quite difficult.]
The excitement on Obito's face faded.
[Tsk…I see.]
Kakashi said calmly: [You can't even abide by the assembly time, so you will most likely fail the exam.]
【What did you say? ! 】
[Okay, stop arguing.]
Minato said: [Having said that, I recommended you based on your missions and determined that you are qualified to participate in the Chunin Exam. However, the Chunin Exam is not mandatory, and it is entirely up to you to decide whether to accept the challenge.]
Obito smiled confidently: [Must participate! ]
Screen turn
Chunin Exam: First Round.
Obito held his head with a look of despair, tears almost falling.
"Why? It's called the Chunin Exam. I thought it would test ninjutsu and taijutsu, but I didn't know it would be the written exam that gave me the most headaches!"
