Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 10 Obito's Confession

Time flies, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye.

The second-year students arrived at the ninja academy's playground early in the morning, waiting for Mr. Ryoichi's arrival.

Chiga glanced around the room and noticed that Obito Uchiha had already arrived.

He walked up to Obito Uchiha and asked curiously, "Why are you here so early today? Didn't you help the old lady sell flowers?"

Obito Uchiha glanced at Chiga and replied, "I helped."

"Then why weren't you late?"

"Haha, I have my own way of doing things!" Obito Uchiha laughed smugly, reaching into his ninja tool pouch at his waist and pulling out a large bunch of flowers. "Look, I've bought all of the old lady's flowers. That way, she won't need to sell any more today, and I won't be late!"

"You win!"

Senga was astonished by Obito Uchiha's actions, thinking, "That old lady must have gotten rich entirely because of you!"

"Do you think I'd waste money? I bought these flowers as a gift for Lin, so isn't that killing two birds with one stone!"

Seemingly sensing Chika's thoughts, Obito Uchiha gave Chika a disdainful look and casually put the flowers back into his bag.

Ninja Academy is such a great place to pursue girls, but Chiga only knows how to study. He's really not smart at all.

"Alright, everyone, is everyone here?"

At this moment, Mr. Liangyi arrived, holding a notebook in his hand, and stood in the middle of the examination room.

"Alright, let's begin this practical exam. First group: Okajima Nori vs. Toda Shinji!"

As the two boys went on stage, they made opposing hand gestures, and after Ryoichi shouted "Start!", they rushed towards each other.

Chiga initially watched with great interest, but as the two engaged in combat using only physical techniques, she lost much of her enthusiasm.

Students at this age don't have a wide range of skills, and they mostly compete with each other using shuriken and hand-to-hand combat.

Moreover, these two were just ordinary ninjas with no special skills.

Soon, with the victory of one of the boys, the two formed a reconciliation seal with each other, and the battle ended there.

After evaluating the performances of the two players, Ryoichi proceeded to announce the next group's matchup.

"Obito Uchiha VS Tengiya Hyuga!"

"Yoho, it's my turn to make my appearance!"

Upon hearing his name called, Obito Uchiha excitedly jumped to the middle of the playground.

The battle between the Uchiha and Hyuga clans attracted everyone's attention.

Chiga also became interested; he wanted to see how the future boss of the ninja world would perform.

"Tengji, face the shuriken of the great Uchiha clan!"

Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, Obito launched the first attack, reaching into his ninja tool pouch and pulling out dozens of shuriken.

With a wave of his hands, the shuriken spun rapidly in the air, flying towards Hyuga Tengji at different angles.

Despite Obito being called the worst student, his performance was dragged down by his theoretical knowledge; in actual combat, he was not weak at all.

With just this one shuriken, he's almost as good as Chiga.

Of course, Hyuga Tengji on the other side was no pushover either. He adopted the Hyuga clan's signature stance and deflected Obito's shuriken with three consecutive palm strikes before charging towards Obito.

"Hmph, you actually neutralized my shuriken. You're worthy of being my opponent! Looks like I'll have to finish you off in close combat!"

As Obito spoke, he prepared to take out a kunai from his ninja tool pouch.

After all, they are from the Hyuga clan; in close combat, they are no match without weapons.

At this moment, Hyuga Tengji had already arrived beside Obito, and his bandaged palm had already struck out.

In a moment of desperation, Obito didn't care about anything else. He randomly pulled something out of his bag, held it up with both hands, and lifted it forward.

Hyuga Tengji was also startled and immediately moved his arm away, fearing that his palm would be pierced. However, when he saw what Obito had taken out, he was stunned on the spot.

The onlookers were stunned. Obito pulled out a bunch of roses, the bright red flowers glistening with morning dew and shimmering with iridescent light in the sunlight.

The scene fell silent instantly.

"this"

Was Obito confessing his feelings?

"The tragic story that the Hyuga and Uchiha clans must tell?"

"Tengji is a boy!"

"Can't a boy accept Obito's confession? You're discriminating against men!"

Hearing the whispers from the sidelines, Hinata Tengji felt humiliated, and his face turned bright red.

Damn it, how could I let him make such a fool of himself!

Wouldn't they give it to me privately?

Filled with rage, he snatched the flower from Obito's hand, stomped on it, and then slapped Obito on the forehead, sending him flying fourteen or fifteen meters away.

"Ouch! That hurts! That damned Hyuga clan, how could they hit me so hard?"

Obito, covering his face, said to Ryoichi, "Ryoichi-sensei, I took the wrong thing! I demand a rematch!"

"Idiot, you put such a mess of things in your ninja tool pouch, and you still have the nerve to ask for a rematch? Uchiha Obito, last place."

Without turning his head, Ryoichi walked straight ahead, writing Obito's grades in the assessment book as he went. Then he turned to the students and said:

"Dear students, even though someone is setting a bad example for you, you still need to be in top form. To survive in this cruel world, you must be at your best to deal with unexpected situations. Don't end up like that person! People like him don't last long on the battlefield!"

"Did you hear that?"

Chiga stepped forward and patted Obito hard on the back: "Someone like you won't survive long on the battlefield!"

Ignoring Chiga's opportunistic attack, Obito clung to Ryoichi-sensei's leg, pleading, "Ryoichi-sensei, please give me another chance!"

"I can give you one chance. Go ask those enemies if they can give you another one!"

Teacher Liangyi roared angrily.

Obito dared not say another word, pouting as he squatted in a dark corner.

The other students also looked at Ryoichi-sensei with some fear, as they had never seen him so angry before.

Looking at everyone's gaze, Mr. Ryoichi took a deep breath, softened his tone, and said earnestly:

"At the ninja academy, I can give you chances again and again, but outside, who will give you those same chances?"

"The world of ninjas is cruel; it doesn't allow for any failure, not even a single one. The price you pay could be your life!"

Even if you miraculously survive, you might lose much more! You might even kill your comrades who have risked their lives for you.

Towards the end, a slight fluctuation appeared in Ryoichi's usually somber tone.

Chiga noticed this keenly and looked up at Ryoichi-sensei, just in time to see a hint of pain in his eyes.

She sighed softly; this was someone with a story to tell.

After World War II, the number of Konoha ninjas had already decreased significantly.

In addition, ninjas are needed in various places, so the teachers of ninja schools, who may have been elites in the past, are now people who are unable to go to the battlefield due to various reasons.

Seeing how earnestly Mr. Ryoichi was explaining these things to them, it seems that he also suffered a great loss on this point.

As for what exactly it was, Chiga felt there was no need to delve any further.

In the world of Naruto, the natural law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest, makes such stories commonplace.
