Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 330 Three Little Guys

"Ouch! Ouch!"

The wailing sound came from a room in a tall building in Konoha Village, but the neighbors next door completely ignored it.

Of course, they had all perked up their ears.

Obito Uchiha was a member of the Uchiha clan.

Even so, there are still quite a few members of the Uchiha clan, like Obito's parents, who leave the clan compound to work and make a living in the inner city.

And this situation is not uncommon.

Other ninja clans also have similar situations where they leave their clan territory to make a living in the inner city for various reasons.

Because of this, Obito's parents were originally thinking about how to live in the inner city, and even considered changing their names if things didn't work out.

However, since members of his own clan and other ninja clans had left to work in Konoha's inner city, he didn't need to change his name; he could simply use the Uchiha name.

Obito's parents were not very strong; at least, after the Yua system was reformed, they never managed to advance from Chunin to Jonin.

However, for this couple, the treatment of a ninja was enough to give them enough money to live a good life.

Therefore, Obito didn't actually suffer much after he was born.

I don't know why, but many elders have a lot of respect for Obito.

Well, after all, I went to another world with Yua before, so naturally I'm particularly sensitive to the name Obito.

Especially Uchiha Fugaku.

Fugaku Uchiha even personally visited Obito Uchiha's family, hoping he could return to the clan, but Obito's parents naturally refused.

Why did they escape from the Uchiha clan's territory in the first place?

Yes, escaping is the correct word.

For them at that time, they could stay anywhere in Konoha Village except in the Uchiha clan's territory.

Although Fugaku Uchiha's reforms have changed the perception of many members of the Uchiha clan, to be honest, Obito's parents would rather work in the inner city of Konoha and under Yua than work in the police force.

Yes, of course. In reality, Obito's parents never saw Yua unless there was a special reason.

But putting all that aside, Obito's parents were genuinely angry today.

That little bastard Obito actually had the worst grades among the graduates.

Of course, Obito also had something to say about this: "Forget about whether I'm last or not, just tell me whether I've graduated or not!"

Previously, due to the Yuya reforms, Konoha's Ninja Academy required students to pass an exam to graduate, which is commonly known as "passing the exam".

The scores of those who passed will naturally be published, and those who didn't pass will have to consider repeating a year.

Therefore, regardless of Obito's ranking, there's no problem with the fact that he graduated.

only……

There is no doubt that Obito's parents left their clan's territory for a better life, and therefore they had high hopes for him.

Graduating from the Ninja Academy does not necessarily mean you have to pursue a ninja career.

Obito's parents were ninjas; how could they not know the true nature of this job?

You might say the salary for this job is definitely not low, but it involves patrolling many areas and regularly clearing landslides and waterlogged areas caused by natural factors. Genin can't do this kind of work. Jonin have more demanding tasks, so it's perfect for Chunin to do it. It also saves a lot of money, since this is a "daily task" that doesn't pay.

Therefore, it's impossible to say that the work is easy.

However, in comparison, it's definitely better than going to the factory.

Obito's parents didn't think he was particularly outstanding. If he couldn't become a Jonin, then becoming a ninja didn't seem like a good thing.

If that's the case, why insist on taking the path of a ninja?

The current Konoha Village...

Isn't there an even more obvious path?

Graduating from Ninja Academy — Qualifying for College Entrance Examination — Graduating from University — Taking the Civil Service Examination — Becoming an Official.

Obito's parents naturally hoped that their son would follow this path.

However, this path requires very high academic performance.

Obito's current performance...

Sigh, do you think Obito's parents wouldn't be angry?

Therefore, a good beating was naturally to be expected.

……

"So... your parents cruelly beat you up?" Kakashi asked, holding a glass of juice, somewhat astonished.

"Sigh..." Obito shook his head, his face showing a sense of vicissitude, as if he didn't want to dwell on the past.

"They definitely deserved to be beaten up," said Kakashi, who graduated first in his class.

"You bastard!" Obito glared at Kakashi with a displeased expression.

Kakashi glanced at Obito and calmly said, "If your parents knew that you not only ranked last in your class, but that the part-time job you mentioned during the holidays was actually working for the police force with the goal of eradicating the Konoha black market, how do you think they would treat you?"

Hearing Kakashi's indifferent words, Obito's face stiffened instantly, then he quickly put on a fawning smile: "Kakashi, you're my best brother, you won't tell my parents, right?"

Nohara Rin drank the juice she was holding, looking disgusted.

Kakashi and Obito are just too lovey-dovey.

At least that's what she thinks.

However, she didn't just come here to be a bystander.

"Minato-sensei is taking us on a mission to hunt wild boars tomorrow. We need to go to the ninja tool shop to buy some supplies today. Have you all rested enough? Okay, let's go."

Hearing Rin Nohara's words, even though Obito and Kakashi actually wanted to sit a little longer, they both nodded to show that they understood.

Indeed, they're not out here just for fun.

I went to a ninja tool shop. The shop owner was a woman in her twenties wearing a cheongsam.

The lady of the house had her hair tied in two buns, and she did look a bit like the future Tiantian.

Okay, that's backwards. It should be said that Tian Tian is starting to resemble this lady in the future.

They bought some thick, sturdy ropes, ten animal traps, and some tranquilizers and other items. The three little ones, holding the scrolls, agreed on a meeting time for tomorrow.

……

The next day, Obito and his two companions arrived at the meeting point before the agreed time, where Minato Namikaze was already waiting.

The three little ones reported to Minato Namikaze with their belongings.

Minato Namikaze was very satisfied, and then led the three little ones out of Konoha Village.

There are still many wild animals outside Konoha Village.

In reality, there are many wild animals in Konoha Village, but they are usually caught, released, or killed by patrolling ninjas within minutes of entering the village, so it seems like there aren't any.

The target of this mission is a wild boar that is trampling and stealing the crops of the villagers outside Konoha Village.

Catching the wild boar wasn't too difficult, but something went wrong on the way back to the village.

A loud noise came from inside the village, and thick smoke even rose from the village...
