Chapter 140 Thank you for your support!

Not far away, Matt Guy ran another lap, his face covered with sweat, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered.

But when he ran closer to them, he froze in place, especially when he saw Uchiha Obito wearing a green tights and moving awkwardly, Might Guy looked stunned.

Haruko pulled the embarrassed Uchiha Obito forward and said, "Obito is very handsome, right? Come to think of it, such handsome clothes are not worthy of those bad boys!"

Yuhi Kurenai agreed with her, "That's right! Only someone as hard-working as Kai deserves to wear such handsome clothes!"

Might Guy was a little at a loss. He was usually confident and strong-willed, but perhaps because of the blow he suffered today, he now showed caution and self-doubt.

"……Really?"

Seeing that it worked, Uchiha Obito hid his shame and smiled brightly, "After putting it on, I feel like I have gained the power of Kai!"

Asuma Sarutobi took a few steps closer and put his arm around Might Guy's shoulders, laughing heartily, "How could that be false? We all know that you were admitted through your own hard work. You are truly amazing!"

The crimson glow of the setting sun fell on them, and Might Guy felt like he had seen a being as dazzling as his father.

Dad is always like the sun, passionate and sincere. He constantly cheers me on and tells me that hard work and never giving up are essential qualities for an excellent ninja.

So he practiced day and night, trying his best to be admitted to the Ninja Academy, but his talent was too poor. In this ninja world dominated by ninjutsu and illusion, he was almost judged by people around him as not qualified to be a ninja.

But a beautiful sister gently told him that if he was not good at ninjutsu, he could practice taijutsu and he would be able to become a ninja if he found a path that he was good at. So he firmly believed that hard work could make up for lack of talent and he relied on his own efforts to be admitted to the Ninja Academy as an exception.

But his faith was gradually shaken by the uneventful progress of his training day by day. He was ridiculed by his classmates, no one wanted to be his friend, and he was even bullied without any ability to fight back. Might Guy began to question himself again.

When Might Guy found out that Asuma Sarutobi and the others helped him teach the trio a lesson, he was grateful, but he was more disappointed in himself.

He couldn't stand up for himself on his own.

This realization made Matt Guy begin to feel disappointed with the tights his father gave him. What about the passionate youth, what about hard work paying off, what about the tights being able to help with cultivation better... they were all lies to children.

So he ran, shedding tears on the playground, sweating, until he met them again.

"Such handsome clothes are really not suitable for those bad boys to wear!"

"Only someone as hard-working as Kai deserves to wear such handsome clothes!"

"I feel as if I have gained Kai's power!"

"We all know that you were admitted through your own hard work. You are amazing!"

Matt Guy let the tears flow and wiped his nose awkwardly.

"Kai!" Uchiha Obito suddenly called his name.

When Might Guy subconsciously looked up at them, the four of them smiled with their teeth showing and gave him a thumbs up, replicating the classic move of Might Guy and his father.

Seeing that they were waiting for his response, Might Guy wiped his tears fiercely, showed them his eight teeth, and gave them a thumbs up in return.

"Thanks...for your support!"

Facing the shuriken that suddenly flew over, Haruko turned around and fell to the ground gorgeously, "Ah, I lost."

The teacher stepped forward with a headache and helped her up, "Haruko, you need to be more serious in the fight. Your loss is so fake!"

Haruko dusted herself off and said, "I didn't lie. I accidentally tripped over a rock when I turned around."

The teacher's mouth twitched, "There is no stone on your ground at all."

Hearing this, Haruko also lowered her head and looked around, then raised her head and replied seriously: "I kicked the stone away!"

“…Forget it, let’s assume that the other student wins this battle.” Knowing that she was in poor health, but not expecting that she was still lazy, the teacher turned and left helplessly.

Uchiha Obito came closer to check if her hands were scratched, "Hey, you, at least be serious."

"I'm not good at close combat." Haruko watched him rub her hands and added, "And I'm a fragile person."

"...What weird words." Uchiha Obito was relieved to see that she was fine.

Originally, he was a noisy person, but ever since he met Uchiha Haruko, whose character was questionable, he has become much more stable.

Haruko invited him, "Obito, do you want to go eat dango with us after school?"

"You guys? What do you mean you guys?" Uchiha Obito was unhappy. It was really unpleasant to be excluded by Haruko using this word.

"It's Kurenai and Asuma. They invited me to eat dango, but I want to go with Obito."

How could she pay without Obito? Haruko felt sad about her situation of living under someone else's roof.

Uchiha Obito instantly became happy, "There's really no other way, I'll go with you!"

Sitting in the dango shop after school, Haruko, who was carrying her big legs, ordered ten skewers of dango. Seeing her like this, Uchiha Obito next to her seemed to vaguely understand why she wanted him to accompany her.

No, he must be worrying too much!

It's absolutely impossible that they called me over to pay!

Uchiha Obito took a bite of the dango in self-deception, then discovered something and asked them: "Isn't Kai here?"

Asuma Sarutobi thought of Might Guy's excited look and felt a little helpless. "Gai said that he was inspired and he would run 500 laps every day to show his loyalty to us."

Uchiha Obito's mouth twitched slightly, "What a passionate person..."

After being dragged by Haruko to stand up for Might Guy, Uchiha Obito's relationship with the two of them improved, and he was no longer as protective of them as before.

Kurenai Yuhi asked curiously, "Are Haruko and Obito also childhood sweethearts?"

Haruko nodded, "Because Obito couldn't find friends due to his tsundere personality, I was very kind and took him in."

"That's not the case!" Uchiha Obito was furious, "You were the one who tricked me into coming here!"

"So I took you in." Haruko shook the dumpling in her hand and spoke confidently.

Uchiha Obito pouted, "It's obviously me who is taking care of you!"

Watching them bickering, Xihihong said with emotion: "You two are so interesting to get along with."

"Hong and Asuma are also very interesting." Haruko ignored Uchiha Obito who was angry like a pufferfish next to her, and asked gossipingly, "Will Hong and Asuma get married in the future?"

"Eh?" Xihi Hong was stunned, "Why are we getting married?"

Asuma Sarutobi, who was sitting next to her, also coughed and scratched his red ears.

Haruko carefully analyzed it for them, "Because many novels are written like this, childhood sweethearts eventually become lovers who rely on each other, it is a very popular theme!"

The still young Yuhi Kurenai didn't quite understand her logic, but recalling the love story Haruko had told them before, she nodded hesitantly, "Probably, right?"

Hearing his childhood sweetheart being fooled and affirmed, Sarutobi Asuma's ears turned even redder. He raised his teacup and took a sip to hide his embarrassment, but did not deny her words.

Yuhi Kurenai asked curiously, "Then Haruko and Obito are also childhood sweethearts. Will they get married in the future?"

Uchiha Obito subconsciously looked at Haruko, secretly expecting her answer.

Haruko explained seriously: "Not necessarily. After all, no matter how stupid Obito is, he won't be fooled by me for his whole life, right?"

Uchiha Obito banged his head on the table, he shouldn't have expected her to say anything!

Attracted by the noise he made, the three children all looked at him. Haruko asked in confusion, "Obito seems disappointed?"

Uchiha Obito blushed and said angrily: "I'm not disappointed!"

Haruko looked at him quietly for a few seconds, then slowly said, "If Obito doesn't mind, I want to marry him."

Kurenai Yuhi opened her eyes wide, and Asuma Sarutobi was also waiting for his reaction like watching a show.

Uchiha Obito froze in front of Haruko's serious expression, his face quickly heated up, and his brain went blank with only the repetitive echo of "I want to marry Obito".

"Obito?" Haruko raised her hand and waved it in front of his eyes a few times. "Obito looks like a monkey with a face and a butt as red as his."

"..." Uchiha Obito couldn't bear it anymore and grabbed her hand that was still waving in front of him.

Kurenai Yuhi interrupted and asked, "Then Obito is unwilling?"

Hearing the question, Uchiha Obito did not look at her, his eyes were still staring at Haruko who was expecting an answer, and whispered: "Yes..."

Haruko's eyes flashed with cunning, "What? I didn't hear it."

Uchiha Obito's cheeks flushed, but he was not angry. He repeated in a louder voice: "I do!"

Haruko's eyes curved slightly and she smiled.

She is so smart that she successfully turned a short-term meal ticket into a long-term meal ticket!
