Naruto: The Uchiha remnants of the Senju clan!

Chapter 39 Sakumo Hatake's Lament

Kakashi listened to Qingyu's words without any hesitation.

"Ms. Umino, I want to go too."

He put his hands in his pockets and began to speak.

Qingyu was not surprised.

Kakashi also has the competitive spirit of a young man.

"Me too! Me too!"

Obito waved his hand vigorously, as if afraid that Umino wouldn't see him.

Umino glanced at Obito, then lowered her head and continued flipping through the roster.

"You stay."

"Why?!"

Obito's face flushed bright red.

"I can fight older students too. I trained extra during the holidays, and I even learned a new Fire Release technique..."

"It's precisely because it's you that I can't go."

The sea deer raised its eyelids.

Obito stood there, his mouth agape, but he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

Sarutobi Asuma, standing next to him, turned his head away, forcing a smile.

Umino ignored Obito and put away the roster.

He didn't want Obito to lose face like that.

Winning or losing is secondary; the key issue is Obito's loud and boisterous personality. If he makes a fool of himself in front of the older students, people will think that he, as their instructor, is deliberately targeting the Uchiha clan.

After school, Umino walked down the corridor and knocked on the door of another office.

Sitting inside the door was Koji Kōji, a senior Chunin instructor.

"An inter-grade challenge?"

Kōji Kōji put down his lesson plan, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.

Life is meant to be enjoyed.

Chunin instructors spend most of their time teaching at the school and do not need to go to the battlefield or carry out dangerous missions.

"Qingyu from your class is truly a promising young talent."

"Not only Kiyoyu, but Kakashi will also participate."

Umino sat down opposite him and briefly recounted what had happened in class that day.

"I see, so his existence inspired others to strive for improvement?"

Koji Mokume began to speak.

"Perfect timing. I also have a few unruly troublemakers here who think they're the best in the world. Let them clash with the geniuses in the lower grades and temper their arrogance."

"How about we do it after school tomorrow?"

"Okay, we'll use the playground."

Koji Kime stood up and patted Umino Shika on the shoulder.

"But you'd better be prepared, my students aren't so easy to deal with."

……

The Hatake family.

When Kakashi pushed open the courtyard gate, Hatake Sakumo was sitting on the veranda, wiping his short sword.

This short sword is made of a special chakra metal, which has a very high efficiency in chakra conduction.

As the saying goes, raising a knife is like raising a lover.

Therefore, Sakumo Hatake cherished this short sword that had accompanied him throughout his life of battles.

He planned to pass the short sword on to Kakashi when Kakashi grew up.

He believed that his son would cherish the dagger and make a name for himself, ensuring its value would not be wasted.

"Father."

Kakashi took off his shoes under the eaves and sat down cross-legged.

"After school tomorrow, Qingyu and I are going to spar with the older students."

Sakumo Hatake stopped wiping his knife.

He turned his head and looked at his son, who was usually not very talkative.

"Was it Qingyu who suggested it?"

Sakumo Hatake felt that this was not something Kakashi would do.

"Yeah, he said he doesn't feel much pressure from his peers anymore and wants to challenge himself with stronger people."

As expected, Kakashi's answer was exactly what Sakumo Hatake had anticipated.

"This child..."

Sakumo Hatake shook his head.

"Qingyu's talent has been revealed earlier than I expected."

When he first saw Qingyu practicing swordsmanship in his own yard, he felt that this child was extraordinary.

But he didn't expect that after just one holiday, Qingyu would no longer be satisfied with his peers.

This drive cannot be explained by mere talent.

"I'll go see it tomorrow too."

Sakumo Hatake stood up, placed his hand on Kakashi's head, and gently rubbed it.

"Prepare well."

Kakashi raised his head, met his father's gaze, and nodded heavily.

Since his father was coming, he couldn't afford to lose.

……

The next day after school, on the playground of the ninja school.

A lot of people were standing around the playground.

Besides Qingyu and Kakashi's classmates, some older students who had heard the news rushed over and whispered about the two audacious underclassmen.

Sakumo Hatake stood under a tree a little further away, arms crossed.

"Tiehuo, is that the Qingyu you mentioned?"

Uchiha Tsuchimon narrowed his eyes, his gaze falling on the figure opposite him who was holding a katana.

He was older than Uchiha Tetsuka and was one of the strongest students in the class.

"That's right."

Uchiha Tetsuka stood beside him and nodded.

"But Qingyu is a good person."

He added another sentence.

Uchiha Tsuchimon glanced at him sideways.

Uchiha Tetsuka's attitude seems to have changed quite a bit since he lost to Kiyoyu last time.

He used to grit his teeth whenever Qingyu was mentioned, but now he's actually speaking up for her.

"I know perfectly well."

Uchiha Tsuchimon withdrew his gaze and looked back at the arena.

He shifted his gaze from Qingyu and looked at the other senior students around him.

He wasn't the only one that was called here by Teacher Mumu this time.

Saori Inuzuka, a member of the Inuzuka clan, was also there. She was a girl with a ponytail, and a gray and white female dog, larger than an average dog, was squatting at her feet.

I heard that she can already combine with the ninja dog and is quite famous among her peers.

There is also a young brat from the main branch of the Hyuga clan, Hyuga Osamu.

He was dressed in white traditional Hyuga clan clothing, his hands behind his back, his chin slightly raised, and his white pupils filled with arrogance.

Hyuga Osamu probably felt that his opponent was Kakashi.

After all, he's White Fang's son, a genius of the Hatake family, and he's qualified to make a move.

As for Qingyu...

A mixed-race person without a surname, and with half Uchiha blood, wasn't worth his second glance.

Although he heard that he had defeated Kakashi, Hyuga Osamu felt that Kakashi had been careless and hadn't used Flash.

After all, in this world, dragons beget dragons, phoenixes beget phoenixes, and even a rat's son knows how to dig a hole.

Although Qingyu's bloodline is illustrious, he does not have any particularly famous fathers.

Even if you die on the battlefield and become a hero, you're still just a Jonin at best.

"Rin, do you think Kakashi can win?"

Obito squatted down next to Rin Nohara and asked.

Although his challenge was rejected by Uminoshi, he still came to watch the excitement.

As long as he was with Rin, Obito felt he could go anywhere.

"Kakashi is very strong."

Nohara Rin clasped her hands in front of her chest, her gaze fixed on the arena.

"But I'd rather see Qingyu make a move."

"You agree, right, Obito?"

Rin Nohara's words caused Obito's expression to instantly fall.

Three sentences warmed Obito's entire day!

He's turned red!

It's that brat Qingyu again!

Koji Kime and Shika Umino stood side by side on the edge of the playground, and after a brief discussion, they decided on the order of appearance.

The first one to go up was Kakashi.

His opponent was a male student who was a year older than Kakashi, Shiya Oyama.

Kakashi stepped out of the crowd and drew the short sword from behind him.
