Obito was hurt. It was gratifying to be on the same team as Rin, but he originally thought that based on his ability, he was not the worst in the team. After graduation and after getting rid of the theoretical exam, he might be regarded among the geniuses.
Unexpectedly, the third member of the team was Kakashi. He graduated at the age of five and became a Chunin at the age of six. He is now an elite Chunin. No matter how capable he was, he would not dare to call himself a genius in front of Kakashi. As for Rin...
First of all, she is a medical ninja, and combat ability is not the most important part. Secondly, she also has a ninja cat. The ninja cat looks very weak, but it is actually very capable of fighting.
So in the end, Obito is still the weakest. He just hoped that he would not perform too poorly in tomorrow's strength test, otherwise it would be terrible if the leading Jonin was not satisfied and kicked him back to the ninja Academy.
The next day. The group of people got up early and headed to Training Ground No. 13. On the way, Takeshi was thinking - as Kakashi's Sensei, will Minato be late? This is a question worth pondering.
However, under Rin's strong tugging, they arrived at the training ground early. When he arrived, only Kakashi arrived. No one knew how long he had been there, and Takeshi didn't bother to ask, laying on Rin's shoulder to rest. After a while, a figure came like the wind. His speed was extremely fast. He was still far away a moment ago, but he was already close in front of him the next second.
"So fast!" Rin and Kakashi were both surprised, especially Kakashi. He thought he was extremely fast, but he still wasn't good enough in front of Minato's Shushin Jutsu. 'In front of Flying Thunder God you wont even compare...' Takeshi secretly sneered.
Regardless of whether Minato's test today is to grab a bell or something else, he has already made up his mind to relax and chill - although at this moment Minato does not have the prestige of "giving up the mission as soon as enemy sees the golden flash" or "Flee on Sight" in the future, his strength is already solid. At Kage level. Wouldn't it be a joke to snatch the bell from under his hand?
"Isn't Obito here yet?" Minato took a look and found that there was only one person missing. "I'm sorry, Sensei, Obito is a very enthusiastic person. When he meets an old lady, he always insists on taking her home, so..." Rin explained while bowing and apologizing.
Takeshi jumped down from his shoulder, meowed0 and said, "Meow~ I can take his place." Then, it turned into Obito's appearance.
"Hahahaha." Minato touched "Obito"'s head and brought Takeshi back to his original shape, then sat on the floor and chatted gently with Rin, Kakashi and Takeshi. Of course, Kakashi didn't speak most of the time, and his indifference could be felt through the mask.
After chatting with him, Takeshi once again felt how difficult this "Golden Flash" was - he had such a good emotional control that no matter how much he messed around, he would just smile and get no points at all. It's so difficult for me to meet such a leading Jonin... The little black cat was lying on the ground, feeling a little sad.
After a long time, a shout came from not far away, "I'm here, I'm here." Then Obito, wearing a green tights, crossed the woods and jumped in front of the three of them. The take-off position was perfect, but when he landed, Takeshi kicked a larger branch, causing him to slide to the ground in a mess.
"It's you again!!" Obito got up, anger boiling in his eyes. But then, when he saw the Sensei and teammates arriving, he immediately bowed and apologized and said, "I'm sorry, Sensei, I'm late."
"I didn't specify when we had to arrive, so it's not considered late. Let me tell you about the test content..." Minato reached into his pocket and took out two bells.
"Meow~" Takeshi saw the opportunity and quickly rushed towards the bell with his claws. He was already very close to Minato, and with his cat's reaction speed and claw swing speed being extremely fast. Now there was indeed a chance to grab it. The premise is...the other party is a not Minato.
Minato jumped up, letting the little black cat's claws fall, and then said with a smile: "Yes, the little guy has already demonstrated it once. Your task today is to grab the bell in my hand. If you can't grab it... I have to go back to Academy and continue studying."
"Is this a mission?" Kakashi stared at the bell coldly.
Minato was stunned for a moment, and then said casually: "You can think of it as a mission."
"I will definitely get it." Kakashi was very confident.
"I...I will definitely get it." Obito immediately followed suit and "swore". Rin witnessed this scene, with a happy smile on her face. As for the bell... she did not have a strong desire to fight for it. She believed that her task was to protect herself, Kakashi, Obito and Takeshi.
"Start." Minato shouted. In an instant, the three people and the cat scattered. But... They found that Minato did not pursue, but sat down and took out a book, which did not look like he was starting a test.
After hesitating for a moment, Obito asked: "Sensei, what are you doing?"
Minato replied: "I am more focused when I am reading, and I will be less wary of the surrounding environment, so you can prepare the battlefield during this period. Even if that's not needed, in ten seconds I will start the pursuit."
After hearing this, Obito immediately changed his position and ran towards Rin. Kakashi took the time to say: "Obito will be the main attack later, Rin will support with shurikens, and I will use Earth Release to launch a sneak attack, Takeshi find an opportunity to show off freely."
"Why should I listen to you!" Obito was very dissatisfied. He came here to protect Rin, not to gather and listen to Kakashi's orders.
"I am a Chunin, you must obey my orders, Idiot!" After Kakashi said that, he immediately left.
"Tch" Obito curled his lips in dissatisfaction, and then in a blink of an eye, he found that Rin and Takeshi were gone. He looked around and saw no one else.
'Obito's hiding position is completely bad... Forget it, he is the main attacker anyway, I just hope he can persist a little longer. ' Takeshi used the transformation Jutsu to turn into grass and hide in the bushes, only a few steps away from Obito.
As for the other two... they couldn't be found with his eyes, but Rin's scent was not concealed, and Kakashi's scent was very light after several days of constantly chasing him he was used to Kakashi's scent so he could vaguely determine his location.
"Everyone seems to be ready, then here I come." Obito held his breath and concentrated, raising his attention to the highest level. However, as soon as the other party finished speaking, he found that... the Minato was gone. Where was he?
"Meow!" A cat meowed. Seeing that Obito didn't react, Takeshi could only jump out to attack and alert him. Obito was alerted by this cry and rolled to avoid the first attack.
Minato turned around and saw that the black cat disappeared in the blink of an eye, and his "teammates" in other places also started to move. The corner of his mouth was slightly raised as he said to himself: "Very good."
Then... jumped up and form a seal with your hands in the air. Wind Release Great Breakthrough. A Great breakthrough is like a hair dryer in the hands of a Genin, and a storm in his hands... Whether it is the ninja dog that emerged from the earth holding the kunai or shurikens thrown by Rin and Obito, they were all blown away by this strong wind. However, in the strong wind At the last moment, a vigorous fireball attacked him from different angle.
Fire Release Great fireball Jutsu. As we all know, Ninjutsu like Great fireball Jutsu cannot kill anyone, but it is quite good at forcing people away. The moment the fireball covers them, the rest of the people take action. Kakashi, Rin, and the lurking black cat.
Among them, the greatest threat is Kakashi, who likely knows the White Fang's sword techniques- at least Minato thinks so.
Obito broke out in a cold sweat, but before he could react, Minato had already stamped his palm on him, and then... He felt that his chakra was as heavy as mercury, and could not be mobilized at all.
Sealing Jutsu!
But at this time, Kakashi's eight henchmen had already rushed over and started fighting. Takeshi knew that Kakashi must be using Earth Release underneath to wait for the opportunity to take action. He did not take action immediately, but also waited for Kakashi to create a chance for him to seize the bell.
Takeshi only had one chance to strike. It was quite difficult for the eight dogs to fight, because Minato's attacks were fast, accurate and hard. He almost knocked out each one with single kicks, and in the blink of an eye, six of them had fallen.
Just when Pakkun was about to be defeated... a figure jumped out of the ground and slashed at Minato with a Sword. The Sword flashed with lightning, like a sudden storm in the blink of an eye. Obito hurriedly rolled away and Rin rushed over to treat him.
This is it! Then the melodious sound of metal clashing came out. Minato blocked the sword with his kunai, but at this moment, Takeshi waited for the opportunity and quickly rushed out - he was several steps away from Minato, but he had already arrived in a few jumps.
Kakashi happened to be behind when he attacked. Needle Jizo. The cat covered in thorns flew towards Minato's waist. Minato blocked it with his other hand, but the little black cat's tail swung and "smashed" it into his hand like a mace.
It's not too powerful, but it hurts. Minato took back back his hand due to the pain and wanted to kick the cat away with his foot, but when he glanced at it, he suddenly realized something was wrong - why was this cat holding a chakra ball in his mouth?
Isn't that a Rasengan? He was horrified, stood up and wanted to jump away, but Kakashi used all his remaining strength, while Obito found that the chakra could not be released after being sealed, so he simply used taijutsu and rushed forward in frenzy.
Everyone's attack seemed to pose a certain threat, but... The next second, Minato's speed suddenly increased a lot.
Bang! Bang! Bang!~
After a series of sounds, Kakashi, Obito, and Takeshi were all kicked out, and then Minato appeared next to Rin, pressing a kunai against her neck. But at this time, a series of bells sounded from not far away.
"Meow!" Takeshi was on the tree, carefully hooking the rope of the bell with his sharp claws and swinging it to make it sound.
"Very good, you passed the test." The next second, Minato, who had previously threatened Rin, disappeared. It was just a shadow clone.
