Metkai - the man who claims to be Kakashi's lifelong enemy, is already Konoha's chuunin.

Following behind were two boys who were older than Kakashi, Shiranui Genma and Ebisu.

The two of them are teammates of Metkai. Like Kai, they both passed the special chuunin evaluation during the war and became a glorious chuunin in Konoha.

They are also familiar with Kakashi, but they belong to different teams and only meet rarely.

"Don't you three need to go out on a mission?"

Kakashi, who was lying on the hospital bed, put down the book in his hand and sighed softly.

Really, we're all here together. Did you agree that the ward should be quiet?

"Jiraiya-sama just gave an order that ninjas under the rank of Jonin are not allowed to go out."

Shiranui Genma holds a toothpick-like Senbon in his mouth and speaks clearly.

"What happened? Why are ninjas below jounin not allowed to go out?"

Obito asked in confusion.

"We don't understand either. We just have to do what the higher-ups arrange."

Ebisu pushed up the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, looking gentle and elegant.

"Speaking of which, Kakashi, how did you get injured?"

Over there, Metkai asked about Kakashi.

Genma and Ebisu are also curious.

Among them, Kakashi is undoubtedly the strongest.

Although he is not yet at the level of a jounin, he is probably very close to that level.

And Kakashi is only eleven years old now, which is very incredible to many people.

He is worthy of being the second generation of White Fang.

Therefore, the ninja who can injure Kakashi must also be a very famous jounin among Iwagakure.

Kakashi was about to answer when Obito over there spoke.

He said with an angry look: "It's a badass woman named Hinata Ayane. I heard from Minato-sensei that she is a ninja who defected from our village."

As soon as Obito finished speaking, there was silence in the ward.

Especially Genma and Ebisu, both fell silent. Even Metkai, who was usually aloof, looked serious.

"What, what's wrong?"

Seeing that these three people looked strange, Obito was a little puzzled.

"Are you sure that person is called Hinata Ayane?"

"Yes. Byakugan and Rouquan, can they still be fake?"

Obito nodded and said.

Kai and the others seemed to be even more depressed.

"Why are you three doing this?"

Obito asked incomprehensively.

"Maybe he is remembering the Jonin who led the team before."

Kakashi's mind was sharp and he could guess the mental state of Kai and the others at once.

"Eh?"

Obito was stunned for a moment and didn't react.

Xuanjian was the first to recover, scratched his head and said, "I'm sorry for making you worry. I just suddenly heard the news related to Teacher Liuli, and I was a little overwhelmed for a while."

"Teacher Liuli?"

"Uchiha Ruri was once the leader of my team, and Hinata Ayane and Ruri-sensei were members of the same team in the past."

Xuanjian explained.

"That's it."

Obito coughed, knowing that he had mentioned a name that he shouldn't have mentioned.

Kai and the three of them stayed for a while, left their condolences and left.

Obito complained and said: "Really, why is everyone's focus on Kakashi? I obviously kept the Sharingan open just now, why didn't anyone ask me about the Sharingan?

What about the matter? Isn’t it worth their shock if I open the Sharingan?"

Hearing Obito's complaint, Lin pursed her lips and smiled.

"Obito, you want to show off your Sharingan too much, don't you?"

"Oh, that's just a joke. You don't have to keep turning on the Sharingan just because you want to show off."

Obito is still tough-talking.

But after keeping the Sharingan open, he felt that his head was a little dizzy now, so he quickly closed the Sharingan.

If I keep my eyes open like this, I feel like I will faint and fall to the ground.

"Okay, I know Obito you are very strong now. Let's go out and let Kakashi rest here alone."

"Oh. Then Lin and I are leaving, Kakashi. When you get better, I will let you know that I am different from before after awakening the Sharingan."

Obito turned around and said this to Kakashi, and immediately followed Lin behind him.

Kakashi thinks he looks like a dog.

"Even if you awaken the Sharingan, your intelligence will not suddenly increase. Won't the result remain the same as before?"

Kakashi started to complain to himself.

morning.

Obito practiced in the woods within the safety of the camp early in the morning.

He skillfully opened his two Magatama Sharingan, quickly formed seals with his fingers, stood in front of a pool of water, and opened his mouth to inhale.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

A huge fireball spit out from the mouth and flew to the center of the pool, stopping about ten meters away and dissipating in the air.

Even if the fireball disappears, you can still feel the hot breath churning in the air along the way, which lingers for a long time.

Obito continues to practice fire escape ninjutsu here.

He has no talent for shuriken, or rather has average talent in this area, and can only rely on ninjutsu to make up for his shortcomings.

In the Minato team, he had always secretly competed with Kakashi, but sometimes he had to fight with Kakashi when he encountered strong enemies.

He knew that Kakashi's taijutsu and sword skills were very powerful, and even a Jonin would be stabbed to death by Kakashi from behind if he was not careful.

However, Kakashi also has his own shortcomings, which is that he relies too much on physical skills and sword skills. Even the Thunder Release Ninjutsu he developed can only be used at close range and is suitable for attacking single targets with thrusts.

Therefore, he must work hard to make up for these shortcomings.

He fills in the areas that Kakashi is not good at.

Ninjutsu and genjutsu are all the Sharingan's specialty.

He believed that after awakening his Sharingan, as long as he made up his mind to practice, he would one day catch up with Kakashi and fight alongside him, and he would no longer be the 'lower-end' he called him.

"Obito, are you practicing here?"

Lin's voice came from behind.

"Lin, why are you here?"

Obito temporarily stopped practicing the Fire Release Ninjutsu and turned around to see Lin approaching him.

She holds a medical bag in her hand, which is an important item to carry with her at all times.

As a medical ninja, you should be equipped with these tools anytime and anywhere to treat injuries.

"Let's take a look at your practice to prevent you from overdoing it and causing physical injury. That Sharingan consumes a lot of chakra."

Lin thought for a moment and said.

"It consumes a bit of chakra, so I can't keep my eyes open for a long time, otherwise my brain will get dizzy. But I will pay attention to my discretion."

Obito said without hiding anything.

After opening the Sharingan, he realized how difficult it was to maintain the Sharingan for a long time.

As a Chunin, his chakra is limited. Even if his chakra increases after opening his eyes, he still has to contribute a lot of chakra in order to keep his Sharingan open.

If you want to see through the enemy's movements or release illusions, the proportion of chakra consumed will increase.

"Obito, go and practice quickly. I won't disturb you by being around."
