Chapter 53 Who said we were not here?

"Kai, your lifelong rival Haneda is right here. Go challenge him. If you defeat him, it's the same as defeating me."

Kakashi tried to shake off Gai, but his face was still dark.

"No no no, Kakashi, youth must move forward step by step!"

"Besides, I've already promised Haneda that I'll challenge him again when I truly defeat you!!"

After hearing the words that truly marked the beginning of his nightmare, Kakashi glanced at Haneda beside him.

At this time, Haneda was holding a ninjutsu scroll and pretending to read it.

Noticing that Kakashi had been staring at him for a long time, Haneda felt a little embarrassed.

Come to think of it, this incident was really caused by me...

He had no choice but to help Kakashi out:

"Okay, Kai. Kakashi and I are planning a surprise for a poor kid. Maybe next time."

Kai glanced at Haneda's serious expression, then glanced at Kakashi who looked reluctant, and nodded:

"Okay, Kakashi, I'll see you this afternoon."

Hearing this, Kakashi's smile suddenly froze.

"Ahem...Come on, Kakashi, let's find a place to hide first."

Haneda glanced around the conference room and silently marked the places where people could be hidden.

Suddenly, he remembered the special relationship between Kai and Obito, and asked with a smile:

"Would you like to come along, Kai?"

…………

the other side.

After helping the old lady, Obito ran towards the meeting room where the graduation ceremony was held, breathing heavily.

He finally arrived when the white banner with three big words on it was about to fall.

And Lin was standing at the door waiting for him.

When he saw this figure, Obito was surprised and fell down suddenly.

"I can't believe you were late for both the entrance ceremony and the graduation ceremony."

Lin bent over and said angrily.

At this point, Lin was speechless.

"Well now, the graduation ceremony is over."

Hearing Lin's complaints, Obito replied in a low voice, feeling embarrassed:

"But I met an old lady on the way..."

When Lin heard these familiar words, she put her hands on her hips and said even more speechlessly:

"Obito, the probability of you running into an old lady is too high, isn't it? No wonder Haneda never goes to school with you."

Obito felt embarrassed by Lin's words, and he lowered his voice and said:

"Yeah, I've been getting ambushed a lot lately, like a group is waiting for me."

"And Haneda..."

When mentioning Haneda, Obito suddenly became indignant:

"I slept with him several times, and he never called me!"

"You always blame others, even though you know it's your fault."

Lin sighed helplessly, held Obito's little hand, and without minding the dirt, pulled Obito into the meeting room.

She didn't stop until she reached the podium.

Obito scanned the empty classroom several times, but he didn't see Haneda.

His eyes dimmed and his mood became depressed.

"Asshole Haneda abandoned me again and went to find stupid Kakashi!!"

Obito thought secretly, and his eyes became moist unconsciously.

Compared to a top student like Kakashi, I, a laggard, seem insignificant.

It's normal that Haneda pays more attention to Kakashi.

But for some reason, Obito just felt sad about it.

Obviously, he is Haneda's friend since childhood.

Just when Obito was feeling sad, Lin took out a graduation certificate with a gentle smile on her face.

"Diploma, Uchiha Obito."

"This is to certify that this student graduated from the Konohagakure Ninja School."

"Rain or shine, you have done an excellent job of persevering with your training and hard work."

After Lin finished reading the contents of the diploma, she turned the certificate over and placed the front side facing the soil.

"Here, congratulations on your graduation!" Lin smiled and handed the certificate to Obito.

Seeing this, tears couldn't help but flow from the corners of Obito's eyes.

He wiped his tears with his sleeve and took the diploma.

"Thank you, Lin."

"Although I didn't receive it personally from Grandpa Hokage, and Haneda and the others weren't here, but..."

"Who said we weren't here?"

Haneda's voice came from above Obito's head.

He jumped down, and Kakashi and Kai who were hiding above also fell down.

"Congratulations on your graduation, Obito."

Haneda handed Obito a small yellow flower, which he picked from the bushes next to the meeting room, as a token of his appreciation.

"Hey~ I didn't expect that the last one in the class could also be a ninja, but congratulations on your graduation."

Kakashi said with dead fish eyes.

"Yo, Runtu, congratulations on your successful graduation and taking the first step in your youth!"

Kai gave Obito a thumbs up and smiled.

"Asshole Haneda, idiot Kakashi, and you, a stinky watermelon rind whose name you can't even remember..."

"I didn't expect you guys were hiding!!"

Obito was angry and amused at the same time, and in the end all his emotions turned into tears of emotion.

But even so, he still felt unhappy with Haneda.

He was sure that this action must have been planned by that bastard Haneda!

While Haneda was holding the little yellow flower, Obito punched Haneda in the chest.

But to his surprise, this time Haneda did not dodge, but took the punch firmly.

"Why don't you hide, you bastard Haneda?!" Obito said with three parts of complaint and seven parts of regret.

"Just let you vent your anger."

Haneda smiled, thinking that Obito's slightly hard fist only caused a little pain at most.

He put his arm around Obito's shoulder and smiled.

"We're not late, are we, Obito?"

When Haneda said this, Kakashi and Kai also came over from the left and right.

After looking at the three Haneda people and then at Rin, Obito shook his head silently.

"I'd be happy if you could come."

"Although I was not able to receive the certificate from Grandpa Hokage, and the teachers are not around anymore..."

"But having you is enough!"

Obito said with a bit of sobs.

"Haha...when did you become so affectionate?"

Haneda joked, and then he looked at the clock on the wall. The hour hand was almost pointing to 12 o'clock, and then he smiled and said,

"Come on, Obito. It's almost noon now. Let's find a place to eat, shall we?"

"Where to?" Obito asked subconsciously.

"Let's go to a memorable place. How about BBQ?"

Hearing about BBQ Q, Kakashi, Kai, and Lin had no objection.

This is indeed a very memorable place.

For Kakashi, it was the place that completely changed his life.

When everyone blamed his father, Haneda and Obito called his father a hero for the first time.

And this place is exactly that, BBQ Q.

For Kai, it carries a part of his youth.

The night he went to BBQ Q for dinner was the happiest and happiest time of his life.

"Hey, why are we here again? We've been there many times, right, Lin?"

Obito shouted in protest.

However, with three votes in favor and one abstention, the opposition was directly invalid and was rejected by Haneda.

So, the restaurant we booked for lunch was the barbecue restaurant.
