Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 324 Daily Life: Kakashi and Obito

"So... you're now in charge of Konoha's underground black market?!" At a roadside stall, twelve-year-old Kakashi looked at Obito with a speechless expression.

Well, I don't really believe in the power of history to correct itself.

But there are some things you just can't deny.

For example, Kakashi, who is now 12 years old, has already put on a mask.

Although he had not yet gone to the battlefield, he had not lost his eyesight.

Yes, there's one more thing.

This guy has already started secretly reading someone's erotic novel.

Of course, Sakumo Hatake was unaware of this; if he had, Yua would have heard the news.

Because of the nature of his work at Yuya, Sakumo Hatake is actually very busy.

Therefore, he did not have enough time to educate Kakashi.

Kakashi's mother was in poor health and almost had a difficult labor when she gave birth to Kakashi. Fortunately, the doctor stabilized her condition and the mother and child were born safely.

However, as a result, Kakashi's mother was in poor health.

Therefore, it's impossible for Kakashi's mother to have taught him anything special.

After all, going out for a walk might lead to catching a cold, so it's more comfortable to stay at home.

Therefore, Kakashi's childhood was basically a free-range upbringing.

Of course, Sakumo Hatake would still go back for a few days each month, so Kakashi didn't turn out badly.

And he does indeed have friends.

Although……

This friend doesn't seem very reliable.

"Yeah, sigh..." Obito sighed, waiting for the boss to bring him food, and said, "The underground black market in Konoha has not been solved for the past few years. It's not that our security department is incapable, but every time we eliminate one, a new one will grow."

Believe it or not, even if we wipe out that black market this month, a new one will definitely be set up again within a month.

Seeing Obito's troubled expression, Kakashi felt somewhat helpless.

However, he was only a 12-year-old child and couldn't offer any truly effective solutions.

The two of them could only sigh helplessly.

After finishing their meal at the roadside restaurant, Obito declined Kakashi's invitation to play games, citing that he still had things to do.

Although children under 16 are not allowed to enter entertainment venues such as game arcades and internet cafes in Konoha Village, Kakashi's family is wealthy and owns two computers.

His father, Hatake Sakumo, used one of these machines to handle various tasks assigned by Yuya.

He uses one of them himself, usually for playing games and such.

However, his mother strictly controls his playtime.

Since they were on the same page, the two chatted while Obito asked Kakashi how he planned to spend the last ten days or so of his vacation.

All schools in Konoha Village have a one-year curriculum.

Enrollment should begin in mid- or late February, but formal teaching must start on March 1st; this is a strict order.

Then, teaching will begin on November 1st in Konoha, followed by exams. In short, the exams must be completed before December 1st, after which it will be vacation time.

So, the company must have given their children a lot of money for the holidays, and many people are already planning to let their children go out and explore during such a long holiday.

In the past, graduating from ninja academy meant going to the battlefield. Now, you're just sent to train during a long holiday to learn a skill to make a living. Even so, many reckless teenagers are unwilling to do it. They want to stay home, play games, and sleep in. There's no way they'd work. They're just like those kids from the past.

But this is also good. Sending children around ten years old to the battlefield... is really too outrageous.

Although some people have already told Yua that the younger generation of Konoha Village is somewhat out of touch.

This made Youya laugh.

Ah yes, yes, yes! That's the taste!

We're back! Everything's back!

You Ya didn't refute, but simply said to the other party: If possible, please visit the university.

If you can find any student in any classroom at the university who has taken a subject in their chosen major, even if it matches your area of ​​expertise, as long as you are stronger than them in that area, I will do as you suggest.

Currently, Konoha Village only has two universities. One has just been completed, but the teachers for it have not yet been assigned. Therefore, strictly speaking, there is only one university in the entire village. The students there come from all over the ninja world, so they are basically the elite of the elite.

If someone in front of you who hasn't received a systematic education could really overwhelm the other person through debate or something, then You Ya definitely wouldn't believe it.

After all, the smartest time of a person's life is the year they are about to go to college and the year they have already gone to college.

At this time, the villagers of Konoha were knowledgeable about everything from astronomy to geography. After this period, they became more focused, with most people specializing in one subject and at most practicing one or two others.

As for a polymath...

You Ya doesn't believe such people exist.

In short, the reforms in Konoha Village are still ongoing, and the person who supposedly ruined the younger generation has not appeared before Yua again.

I just heard that he's become more dedicated to his work.

Yeah, that's pretty good too.

Obito and Kakashi walked across a street corner and heard the sound of a loudspeaker.

Turning their heads, they saw a girl riding an electric scooter coming from behind them.

"Rin?!" Obito was somewhat surprised.

"Hehe, I knew it was you two just by looking at your backs!" Nohara Rin, wearing a small helmet, kicked the electric scooter to a stop. Without getting off, her small figure sat on the scooter and squeezed between Kakashi and Obito, patting them on the shoulder with a teasing smile.

"You two, you wouldn't be... on a date..."

Just as Nohara Rin was about to tease the two of them, Obito rolled his eyes first: "Rin, I told you some things really shouldn't be seen. Look at what you've become! You're so dirty."

Nohara Rin chuckled twice and stuck out her tongue cutely.

Kakashi turned sideways to look at a box on the back of Rin Nohara's electric scooter: "Rin, what's that?"

"Oh right." Reminded, Nohara Rin stood up from the car, walked to the back, opened the trunk, took out two flyers, and handed them to the two people.

Kakashi and Obito exchanged a glance and accepted it.

Then they saw that the flyer contained a promotional slogan for a kindergarten.

Nohara Rin winked at the two of them: "This is a job I found during my long holiday. If you have relatives or friends with children who need to go to kindergarten or elementary school, you can choose this school. It's honest and reliable~"

With that, Nohara Rin got on the bike, pushed off with her feet, and rode off.

Kakashi and Obito were left standing there, bewildered...
