While Rin was still pondering, Obito couldn't help but ask, "Rin, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
Rin snapped back to reality. She really wanted to share with Obito that the notebook wrote by itself, but Obito told her he couldn't see the words.
Furthermore, the game in the notebook involved the Uchiha Clan, and Obito was also a member of the Uchiha… It was better to keep it from Obito for now. She would consider telling him after she confirmed some things.
So, she smiled slightly and said, "Obito, I was just spacing out. You don't need to worry too much."
After a pause, Rin continued, "It's been a while since I visited Grandma. After school today, I'd like to go back to the Uchiha Clan Grounds with you, Obito. Will you welcome me?"
Obito's face instantly lit up with excitement, his eyes wide, and he asked in surprise, "Rin, is that true?"
Rin nodded, her gaze involuntarily drawn to Obito's bright eyes.
She wondered if these eyes would evolve into a Sharingan in the future, and if they could go a step further to reach the level of the Mangekyo Sharingan.
If so, what kind of ocular Ninjutsu would Obito awaken?
Thinking of this, Rin was very curious and asked, "Obito, how much do you know about your clan's Sharingan?"
Obito was slightly puzzled. He had always wanted to share this topic with Rin, but usually Rin seemed uninterested. Why was she suddenly curious now?
However, this was a good thing! Could it be… Rin liked him and wanted to know more about him?
This was truly wonderful!
Obito immediately began to explain with some pride, "Rin, the Sharingan symbolizes the glory of our Uchiha. As long as I can awaken these eyes in the future, I'll gain incredibly powerful strength, and becoming Hokage will be just around the corner, hahaha!"
Rin disbelieved him a thousand times over. If awakening the Sharingan could lead to becoming Hokage, how could the Uchiha Clan members have been so easily massacred in that word game?
She pressed on, "Specifically, how strong is it?"
Obito said, "For example, Clan Head Fugaku, I heard that just by looking at someone, he can make them lose their fighting ability."
Rin asked curiously, "Really? Why?"
Obito scratched his head, showing an embarrassed expression, "Actually, I don't know very clearly either. I just heard that the Three-Tomoe possesses extremely powerful genjutsu abilities. If you want to know, Rin, I can go ask the clan members."
Rin's mood immediately soured, "Forget it, Obito. If you go ask around, they'll just give you a hard time again. I don't want you to endure that for me."
Because Obito's entrance exam scores were poor, and his personality was not like other Uchiha, and his parents had also died in the Second Shinobi World War, he had no relatives left in the Uchiha besides his grandmother.
Therefore, Obito was often ostracized by his clan members. This ostracism wasn't overt mockery, but a subconscious rejection and distancing.
For Obito, perhaps this was even more painful than overt bullying.
Obito, however, said, "Rin, I've long been used to such things, and many grandpas and grandmas are very kind to me."
Rin became even sadder. Those elders were indeed kind to Obito, but it was also out of respect for Obito's grandmother. Otherwise, Obito might not even have this sole warmth.
That's why, in her daily life, she couldn't help but give Obito more care, wanting to look after him well.
She said, "Obito, I was just asking casually. I don't want to inquire about the Uchiha Sharingan's information. After all, it's your clan's most important thing, and asking about it casually would be very impolite."
Obito, however, didn't care at all, "Impolite? That doesn't exist at all! But since you're not very concerned, Rin, then I won't ask."
Rin nodded, then suddenly remembered something and turned to look at the empty seat in front of her. "Where's Kakashi? Didn't you agree to spar with him at the training ground at noon? How come only you came back?"
Seeing Rin mention Kakashi, Obito pouted and said, "Him? He was definitely afraid of getting beaten to a pulp by me, so he found an excuse to leave midway. Damn it, just thinking about missing out on giving him a good beating leaves a bad taste in my mouth."
Rin, however, tilted her head and smiled slightly at Obito, "And what else?"
Rin didn't believe Obito could beat Kakashi. If he could, he wouldn't have failed to win even once until now.
So Kakashi must have left because of something else.
Obito said, "If I had to give a reason, it was a guy who likes to wear green jumpsuits. He's been challenging Kakashi a lot lately. We met him on the way, and Kakashi went with him."
Rin was startled, "Likes to wear green jumpsuits, challenging Kakashi? Is he in our graduating class?"
Obito shook his head, "No, I heard he failed the entrance exam and was rejected by the Ninja Academy. For the past day or two, he not only challenges Kakashi whenever he gets a chance, but he also runs laps around the field every day, trying to prove his perseverance to Hokage-sama using this method."
"Unfortunately, I heard his Chakra control is insufficient, and he can't even perform a single Ninjutsu. The Ninja Academy most likely won't admit him."
Seeing this, Rin couldn't help but feel sympathetic, "Then he's so pitiful! Kakashi must have wanted to help him, which is why he accepted his challenge."
Obito immediately became annoyed, "How could Kakashi be that kind? Rin, I'll tell you secretly, Kakashi is actually very arrogant…"
However, no sooner had he finished speaking than a confident yet lazy voice sounded from behind them, "Obito, are you talking bad about me behind my back again?"
Obito was startled and turned his head to see Kakashi standing behind him, with his distinctive white hair and a mask covering half of his face, leaving only his eyes visible.
But even so, that half-face was still very handsome, attracting the attention of many girls, and even Rin… seemed to be the same.
Obito immediately felt a little jealous, "Kakashi, why are you like a ghost? Did you win the fight? You didn't lose, did you? Hehe, if you lost, I'd mock you for the rest of your life."
Kakashi rolled his dead-fish eyes upwards, "Of course I won. However, Might Guy is also very strong, especially his Taijutsu. Even I had some trouble dealing with him."
Rin's eyes widened. She knew best how much of a genius Kakashi was. To be able to cause Kakashi some trouble was already beyond what an average person could do.
She couldn't help but exclaim, "So his name is Might Guy! Is he really that strong?"
Kakashi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but recall the scene of sparring with Might Guy just now.
"It's true, he's very strong, but unfortunately, he has no Ninjutsu talent. No matter how strong his Taijutsu is, it doesn't meet the Ninja Academy's admission standards."
Rin said disappointedly, "That's such a shame."
Beside them, Obito scoffed, "There are plenty of people who can cause Kakashi some trouble, it's not a big deal. If it were me, I could do it too."
Kakashi mercilessly taunted, "No, you haven't even caused me a bit of trouble."
Obito was furious and couldn't help but clench his fists, "Kakashi, do you want to fight right now?"
