In the evening, in the Uchiha clan territory.
"Obito, don't eat so fast, be careful not to choke."
Hearing what grandma said, Obito slowed down his rice-eating pace and explained,
"Grandma, a friend asked me out to play."
"Which friend? Is it Xiaolin?" Obito's grandmother asked Obito with a smile.
Since Nohara Rin often came to play with Obito, Obito's grandmother also knew Nohara Rin.
"Yeah, but there are others too." Obito replied while eating.
The Junior Ninjutsu Competition will begin tomorrow. He has been practicing very hard all day and is exhausted.
Maybe because he and Kakashi will become competitors again tomorrow, Nohara Lin invited them to come out and play together tonight to relax.
Because of Kakashi, Obito also called Might Guy to join him.
"I'm full." After eating, Obito wiped his mouth and hurriedly prepared to go out.
Grandma Obito followed him to the entrance and said with a smile: "Keep working hard, Obito. I still want to see my great-grandson."
Obito almost fell to the ground, turned around and shouted with a red face: "Grandma, I'm still in school."
Although I do have some ideas in my mind, I am too young now.
Everyone agreed to meet on a street in the south of the main urban area.
When Obito arrived, he found that the other three had already arrived, and he was the last one.
"I met an old lady who needed help on the way, so I was a little slow." Obito explained.
"You always run into old ladies. It's like this every time." Kakashi felt that this was a bit outrageous.
"I don't know either, but when I see an old lady in need of help, I can't just ignore her." Obito felt a little wronged because he did help the old lady on the road.
"Okay, it's okay. It's probably because Obito is too kind and has eyes that are good at finding people in need of help." Nohara Rin walked between the two of them with her hands behind her back and smiled gently.
After resolving this little incident, the four of them walked down the street together.
"There are so many people here. Kakashi, how about we have a competition to see who can get through the crowd faster?" Might Guy couldn't help but ask as he looked at the densely packed streets.
"I'm sorry but I refuse." Kakashi refused decisively, leaving no hope for Might Guy. This challenge was too stupid.
"There's an event being held on this street today, so a lot of people came," Nohara Lin explained.
Then Nohara Lin led the three of them to the event location. The entire street was filled with vendors, brightly lit, and people in yukatas walking together.
"Look, this goldfish is so cute." Nohara Lin found a stall selling goldfish and waved to everyone with a smile.
"Little sister, do you want to try it? You can buy a net for only ten taels." The stall owner tempted.
"Ten taels..." Nohara Lin looked thoughtful. Ten taels would not be a big deal, but a net might not be enough. This kind of paper net is too easy to break.
"Let me try." Obito volunteered to step forward and handed the boss the money for a net.
Obito directly set his sights on the most active and best-looking fish, but after two or three attempts, he didn't catch any fish and the net broke.
"Try again!" Obito was not discouraged. He tried again, but still failed.
It wasn't until the ninth time that Nohara Rin stopped Obito and said, "Forget it, let's go somewhere else."
Eighty taels is enough to buy a bowl of ramen.
"But we've tried it so many times, and we're now more proficient than before. Wouldn't it be a loss to end it now?" Obito said hesitantly.
"I want to try, too." Might Guy, who had never played before, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to catch the fish with all his strength.
Snap, the stick tied to the finger net broke.
"Let me do it." Kakashi said calmly, handed the 10 liang to the boss, and caught a goldfish with a net. "Here you go." Kakashi handed the fish that the boss had packed to Nohara Lin.
Nohara Lin smiled happily and said, "Thank you, Kakashi."
Then he added: "Thank you, too, Obito and Gai."
Obito, who originally had a bitter face, suddenly smiled foolishly.
Then the four of them played around together, using shuriken to poke handles and identify the clones...
After playing until there were fewer pedestrians on the street, we prepared to buy some octopus balls and go home.
"Kakashi, just wait and see tomorrow, I will definitely be the first this time." Obito took a bite of the octopus balls and did not forget to make harsh remarks.
"If you want the first place reward, I can give it to you after I get it." Kakashi was very aggressive at this time.
The two of them hurled threats at each other, which made Might Guy's blood boil. If there was a youth taijutsu competition, he would definitely invite Kakashi to have a competition.
…
The next day, we didn't have to go to school because it was Sunday.
The competition started in the afternoon, and Obito went for his final training in the morning.
The Youth Ninjutsu Competition was held on a commercial street in the main city of Konoha.
Obito heard that it was organized by an old ninja store manager to encourage students in the ninja school, and later everyone saw that it could attract traffic, so they pooled money together to hold it every year.
"Obito, which ninjutsu are you going to use in this competition?" asked Nohara Rin.
"Great Fireball Technique." Obito did not keep the topic in suspense but told Nohara Rin directly.
"Aren't you going to use the Great Dragon Fire Technique that you used in the practical test before?" Nohara Lin was a little puzzled.
The last time Obito lost to Kakashi, he used the Great Fireball, which scored a full 30 points, a full nine points lower than Kakashi.
"This time is different from last time. My Great Fireball Technique is very powerful now!" Obito showed a confident look. He believed that his Great Fireball would definitely shock the whole audience.
"Well, then I'm looking forward to your performance." Nohara Lin smiled gently.
"Obito, come on. As my nemesis, that man is not so easy to defeat." Might Guy crossed his arms and said with an unfathomable look on his face.
"You want me to leave?" Kakashi, who had been silent on the side, asked.
Why are they discussing how to defeat him in front of him?
"Kakashi, what ninjutsu are you going to use?" Nohara Rin asked immediately with a smile.
"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll just use any one of them when the time comes. Maybe I'll use the Earth Flow Wall." Kakashi said after thinking for a while.
He wasn't being pretentious, because he had mastered quite a few ninjutsu, and he could really use them freely in this kind of competition.
Obito looked around and saw many familiar faces from the ninja school, including two ninjas wearing forehead protectors.
"There are a lot more people this time than last time." Obito said, recalling the last match.
"Because the rewards have been increased, the first place winner this time will not only receive an exquisite silver-plated kunai, but also a bonus of 8,000 taels." Nohara Lin said.
"Eight thousand ryo!" Obito opened his eyes wide and became more determined to win first place.
This is eight thousand taels, which is enough to comfort Lin whether she is treating her to a meal or giving her a gift.
"The competition begins. Please invite contestant number one to perform."
