Konoha ninja acadmey
In the training ground of first year academy students.
The whole group of first year class 1-A had formed a group and were currently competing with each other.
Usually what they compete in are weapon throwing, taijutsu and other regular physical exercise and like other time too, currently, everyone was competing in weapon throwing, but this time it was not the usual competition where everyone strives to throw a perfect hit rather this time they just want to hit the target but even then not a single shuriken was able to land on the target instead they have almost hit the future generation of several guys.
Swish-
"Arhhhh!!!!", Dramatic cries of horror.
Again someone almost misses the family jewels of a NPC.
Hearing the cries, Obito removes his blindfold and becomes dejected seeing he had missed the target. "What!, i have thrown it towards the target, how can I almost miss it."
"What the flub!, you are saying 'almost' miss it, see...poor Kouta is traumatized." A girl scolds Obito for almost hitting the 'target'.
"Ah!, sorry, i don't know how it goes in the opposite direction." Obito shows an apologetic expression, while confused about how the shuriken he throws goes in the opposite direction.
"Don't worry Obito, it is very hard, and not your fault to miss it." Rin consoles him.
"Hmm, it is easy to understand that with his 'incompetence' he will miss the target but how can he miss it so far." Kakashi thoughts aloud wonderly.
"Well, if it is Obito, i think it is not impossible." Haruku said, while thinking, 'this guy is really a piece of work, even while blindfolded he was still focused on the girl.' Haruku had noticed that when Obito was blindfolded, he got distarcted when Rin calls out to him for motivating him.
"It is enough, now let me show you how it is done." Having enough, Kakashi steps forward.
First he takes his position then puts the blindfold on his eyes, which makes all of his face covered, as he already wears a ninja mask which covers his lower face and now with the blindfold his whole face was covered and only his white hair were shown.
After he takes his position and takes the aim, the whole crowd becomes deathly silent as not to disturb him, many girls have expectant expression on their face as they belive that their 'prince' will surely hit the target and on the other hand almost every boy have a gloating expression and are expectant to see him make a fool of himself.
Then with a certain charm and full focus he throws a shuriken, and he did not just stop there but simultaneously throws nine more shuriken.
With a flash, first shuriken finds his target and then suddenly nine other shurikens arived and hit the same spot precisely.
Suddenly whole crowd blaze up with shouts and gasps of surprise
"Holy shit, he nailed it."
"How can he do it????"
"Wow.....
Everyone exclaims when they see the successful hit, but they are even more surprised because he not only hits it perfectly, but he hits it ten times in a single chance.
"Wow, Kakashi did it, he is so cool." With a slight blush on her face, Rin shouts cheerfully for Kakashi.
But in all of this was the absence of somone remarks as he usually does.
Obito was looking at Rin,with a crestfallen look on his face, noticing how she was happily cheering for Kakashi, Obito thought, 'does Rin like Kakashi....well, it is expected, he is highly talented, always scoring the perfect score.....I didn't even understand why he is attending the academy.'
Then, while looking at Kakashi, he thinks impassively, "I guess he seems cool too."
"Yosh!!"
Suddenly, he hears a familiar loud voice.
"As expected of my rival, he is miles ahead of me...even if he is many times better than me, i will not yield and continue to practice hard,. I will one day suprass him." Might guy loudly proclaim to one day surpass Kakashi while doing one hand pushups.
And seeing Might guy, obito dejected mood suddenly becomes bright and he thinks to himself, 'yes, Guy is right, so what if he is better than me, i will continue to practise hard and one day i will beat him and shows Rin who is the best.' Obito gets the motivation from Guy, to not give up and continue to put more efforts.
"Well done, now it is my turn." Next, Haruku steps forward excitedly, eager for this challenge as it was getting very boring for him to stay in the academy, having spent most of the days with 'brats' and going through the same academy curriculum which he have already completed last year, and even then what they are teaching him isn't even have any benefit for him, because with help of the system and the continues practice for the last 2 years with his father takes him miles ahead of other guys.
He has even learned many of the advanced ninjutsues while many of his peers were still lagging quite behind, struggling with basic jutsu, which makes it all boring for him, luckily it was the presence of Kakashi which makes his academy days somewhat interesting, as the son of 'White Fang' and with his high talent, he is the only one to gives him competiton in the entire academy.
And given a chance, they fiercely compete with each other to test out who is the best, just like now.
As Kakashi have already finished, Haruku moves forward to perform this time.
Seeing that this time it was Haruku who had come forward to perform, an equally crowd of girls cheers for him as that of Kakshi.
"It is finally Haru-chan."
"Yeah, finally, my eyes were nearly hurt seeing all of those guys."
With a confident manor, Haruku puts the blindfold on his eyes and then he takes the aim, rather casually, which makes many of the, NPc..ahem..boys dissatisfied but none dares to show it, as even they have a limit to get embarrassed, having already learned their lesson during Kakashi's turn.
Having taken the aim, then with the flick of his wrist, Haruku throws shurikens continuously and just like Kakashi, all of his shuriken perfectly hit the bullseyes but the slight difference was the extra shuriken which was embedded there, putting a total of eleven shurikens there one extra than Kakshi had thrown.
And seeing all of this, again many of the girls cheer, while almost every boy becomes discouraged.
Seeing this Kakashi looks in the eyes of Haruku who was looking at him with a smirk, invisible sparks of challenge flashes between both of their eyes.
"Tch..wasn't Kakashi enough, why are there two of these annyoing guys." Obito again thoughts while feeling depressed.
As the competition ends, their combat instructors, who were watching them come forward.
"Whoa, it seems you guys are more lively today." Nara Shido said, seeing the spark of competitiveness between everyone.
Everyone shifted their attention to him.
Then Nara Shido continues, "Seeing you guys reminds me of my acadmey days, always motivated and full of energy." He said with a hint of melancholy on his face.
"Snort" hearing Nara Shido talking about 'motivation' and 'full of energy', his colleague, snorts at him.
But Shido ignores him and continues, "well, it is the only time for being so lively, after all, at the end of this, you guys will enter the real world." Nara Shido speaks the last part lightly.
"Whatever.....lets focus on the current...hmm....how about a combat competition....and to make it slightly interesting, there will be a prize for the winner."
After that Shido takes out a card from his pocket and starts to show it to everyone, "The prize for the winner will be this one time free ticket for the three persons to the Yakiniku Q."
Hearing this everyone erupts with enthusiasm, as the Yakiniku Q is a famous restruant in Konoha and it is ocassionaly that they have a visit there and getting a free ticket to there really motivates everyone.
'Hmm, if i win this, i can take Rin there with me.' Obito starts to fantasize about the 'date'.
And like him several guys also thought the same.
'If i can win this, no~no...i have to win." Several guys thought resolutely.
"Sensei, we are ready!" Several heated shouts were heared.
And seeing the radiation of excitement, Shido chuckles, "wow, calm down little fellows, we aren't going to war, it is just a little competition."
After that, with some preparation done, the competition starts.
__________________________________________________________________________________
Currently in the training ground, Nara Shido was explaining about the rules of the competition.
"The competition will consist of single elimination matches with a total of five rounds and in the last round will be the final match, which will decide the winner."
"The participants are allowed to use ninjutsu, but getting seriously injured isn't allowed, so pay special attention to this, i don't want any of you to go home while missing any part of you." Shido emphasizes the last part.
"And as for the pairing of the matches, everyone will be given a piece of paper with numbers written on them from one to twenty and there will be two sets of these papers totally numbering forty the same as the number of you guys."
"And the participants who get the same number will be paired for the match. Which will start in the ascending order."
"Does everyone understand." Seeing everyone nodding, "Then, lets start it."
Soon the papers were distributed by instructors to everyone.
After Obito gets his folded paper from the instructor, " lets find what i got?." he then unfolds the paper and checks the number written on it.
"Wow.....i got the number one, so i will be the first one to go for the match." Obito then starts to look for the other person who gets the same number as him.
As everyone finds the number which they got, Shido calls out to the pair, who got the number one.
Soon Obito and the other person who gets the number one step forwards.
"Hmm....the first match will be between Uchiha Obito and Akimichi Sayuri."
