Chapter 9 — Kakashi perspective
In addition to a huge number of children wishing to join the Ninja Academy, there were many prominent figures in this place.
The air was thick with the scents of dust,anticipation, and the faint, metallic tang of hidden weaponry.
Examples included(Might Duy), along with the famous White Fang's son, (Sakumo Hatake).
There were many individuals from the clans.
Some prominent ninja were also there.
In the end,the ninja clans were also present, with many ninjas who were also interested in getting to know the young talents in the village.
(Sosuke) observed that.
In the end,he was watching everything, hidden among the people.
A shadow blending into the shifting crowds,his dark eyes missing nothing.
(Obito),who was beside him, was smiling.
In addition to looking at the many other children,he was also sure he would be able to perform well after all the training he had done.
His small hands were clenched into determined fists at his sides,his knuckles white.
A sharp idea came to (Sosuke)'s mind.
"This main character...I am in the same generation as (Minato), (Inochi), (Shikaku), and (Fugaku). This distinguished generation of ninja, and I'm in it. But I am certainly the weakest of them all."
The thought was a cold stone in his gut,a familiar weight of inadequacy.
After all the students had arrived, the teacher who was supervising the exam, along with the Hokage who was beside him—who was the Third Hokage, still in his full strength even though he was old—stepped forward.
His age had not diminished his power.
He moved to the front and stood in the center of the field.
All eyes moved to him.
Whether it was the clan children or the shinobi who were here,all of them were waiting for his opening words.
The rustle of clothes and the shuffle of feet—shiff, shiff, thump—quieted to an absolute silence.
"First, I will say that I am here only to greet all the new students who will be joining the Ninja Academy, especially on their first day, which is the day of their entrance exam. To participate and prepare to add their strength to the village, to protect their friends, their allies, and their loved ones by devoting all their efforts to developing and studying the arts of the ninja, and to be outstanding shinobi."
The Third Hokage's speech was moving.
It pushed most of the civilians to release cries of admiration—Gasp! Wow!—while the ninja looked at the Third Hokage with great respect.
But,while there was respect, there were some who were uninterested.
One example of that was(Sosuke) himself.
For him,the Third Hokage was just a cowardly, fearful, and incompetent person to be a leader.
Rather,just a general.
There is a difference between being a leader and a king,and being just a general who leads a battle.
The Third Hokage's actions,to (Sosuke), were nothing but a set of miserable and stupid decisions that were useless.
If he weren't in this position,a person like (Danzo) wouldn't have been able to do all those despicable things.
But of course,he couldn't say that aloud.
He just watched the events move forward.
After the Hokage's speech, the teacher who was next to the Third stepped forward and introduced himself as the person in charge of the exam.
The clan members,in addition to the rest of the civilians and orphans, stood in lines next to each other.
The dry ground crunched under hundreds of small feet—crunch, crunch, crunch.
After that,the person in charge of the exam stood and told them about the exam.
"The exam is divided into three parts: The Physical Test, the Written Knowledge Test, and the Chakra Test. Individuals who do not know chakra can skip the Chakra Test, but they will be forced to devote all their efforts to the written exam in addition to the physical exam. Is this understood?"
All those present said, "Understood!"
The chorus of young voices was a unified,if slightly nervous, shout.
...
"What a ridiculous affair."
The White Fang's son muttered coolly while standing next to the other students.
He felt immensely bored.
He hadn't even wanted to come here if his father hadn't forced him.
In the end,he believed he was stronger than all of them.
Stronger than all the students present here and more distinguished.
He already controlled chakra.
Besides that,he possessed several techniques, and his physical skills were distinguished and exceptional, according to his father.
Therefore,his presence with a group of children who seemed to care about talk instead of skills made him feel he should look at them with contempt.
And that is what he was really doing at this moment.
His hands were stuffed deep in his pockets,a picture of detached superiority.
"Hi! Who are you? My name is (Obito Uchiha)."
(Kakashi) was surprised when he heard this voice.
He was startled and thought that the person who said this was talking to him.
He was thinking of avoiding even talking with the owner of this loud voice.
However,he turned a little and was surprised that there was no one beside him.
On the contrary,it was beside him.
A boy wearing green clothes.
(Kakashi)'s eyes narrowed to slits.
Isn't this the boy my father told me to befriend?
In front of the academy gate, he and his father had turned to a man wearing green clothes with his small son, who was dressed in a nearly identical, tight green jumpsuit.
It had made(Kakashi) feel suspicious of them.
Therefore,he wanted to stay away.
But contrary to his thoughts,his father had told him he should be friends with that youth in green.
The reason was something(Kakashi) never understood.
But he remembered his father's words.
"That young man will definitely become strong,(Kakashi). You must be friends with him."
He hadn't paid much attention to his father's words,especially since his father's talk was a little cryptic.
But he told him he would think about it.
And now,at this moment, he was surprised that there was another person who wanted to be friends with this strange boy.
Not that(Kakashi) said friends shouldn't be strange, but in some way, he felt it was difficult for that green-clad boy to make friends this quickly.
The boy in green smiled with an enthusiastic smile and said in a slightly loud voice, but one that was surprised and happy.
"Hello,(Obito Uchiha)! My name is (Might Guy)! It's an honor to meet you!"
(Guy)was very happy as he pronounced his name, his voice booming with a genuine, uncomplicated joy.
In a moment, (Kakashi) saw that the boy named (Obito) was also smiling, as if he was happy to have made a friendship with (Guy), and as if he had achieved some kind of accomplishment.
Driven by curiosity,(Kakashi) decided to approach these two.
The two were surprised when they felt someone approaching them.
They turned together and looked at the boy with white hair and black eyes.
The movement was a synchronizedswish of fabric.
"Hello. I am (Hatake Kakashi). It's a pleasure to meet you both."
In a formal but indifferent voice,(Kakashi) spoke quietly.
He was waiting to hear some praise from the two.
He knew his father's reputation was very great.
Anyone who knew he was from the(Hatake) clan, and especially the White Fang's son, would try to win him over quickly.
He was going to pretend to talk with them a little before walking away.
But to his surprise,(Guy) only smiled and shouted his name again in the same way, and didn't seem to be impressed.
Was he living under a rock?
"Awesome! (Hatake Kakashi)! My name is (Might Guy)! It's an honor to meet you too! I hope we can be friends!"
The enthusiasm in his voice was the same as when he had said it to(Obito).
He didn't seem impressed or to know what the(Hatake) title meant for (Kakashi).
This matter,for some reason, surprised the White Fang's son, but not in a bad way.
On the contrary,it made (Kakashi) reconsider his thinking about the boy.
As for the other side,(Obito) was different too.
He also smiled.
But this time,(Kakashi) felt the youth had known who his father was, unlike (Gay).
A flicker of recognition,but no sycophancy.
"Hello, my name is (Uchiha Obito). It's a pleasure to meet you too, (Hatake Kakashi). I hope we can be friends."
He gave the greeting and extended his arm to shake(Kakashi)'s hand.
His movement was open,expectant.
But(Kakashi) stared at the hand for a second.
He didn't take his hands out of his pants pockets.
He just stared at it and said,"I don't like touch very much. So, thanks."
He said this with indifference,pointing at (Obito)'s hands with his eyes.
(Obito)understood the meaning of (Kakashi)'s words and withdrew his hand.
Slap.A soft sound of his hand falling back to his side.
He quickly returned his gaze to (Guy).
This matter surprised(Kakashi) a little.
He was used to the fact that if he did this to someone his age,that person would get angry and might even start a fight.
But(Obito) acted as if it were a normal thing and returned to focusing on (Guy) without paying attention to (Kakashi).
But this action made(Kakashi) annoyed for a strange reason he didn't understand.
Why do I feel annoyed?The thought was an unwelcome intruder in his mind.
At the same time, (Obito) was talking to (Guy) with great excitement.
"So you enjoy physical training?I do that too with my teacher! I can currently do more than 100 push-ups and run for long distances every day! What about you, (Guy)?"
(Obito)was enthralled hearing (Guy)'s talk about training.
(Guy)said he trained with more than 500 push-ups in addition to running 10 kilometers daily.
Of course,(Obito) didn't feel (Guy) was lying, especially as he was looking at the boy's body, which was full of muscles.
Even(Obito), after training for several weeks, hadn't gained that amount of muscle.
Therefore,he was convinced (Guy)'s words were true.
A spark of pure,competitive admiration lit in his eyes.
"Do you really do that too, (Obito)?"
(Guy)was delighted to hear (Obito)'s words about his training.
He felt the boy in front of him was also like him,loving physical training.
He even heard about the training(Obito) did.
Even though this training was less than his,it proved the boy in front of him was similar to him.
"I'm sure you will succeed,(Guy), in the exam! You and I will become shinobi in the future!"
(Obito)'s voice was filled with determination and also infinite optimism as he said this to(Guy), who felt the same feeling.
"I am sure of that too,my friend! We have the power of youth!"
(Guy)flashed a brilliant, tearful smile, his teeth gleaming in the sun.
(Obito) understood the concept of "youth," a word (Guy) always used in his words.
He had come to like it in some way because it was mentioned in the style of his teacher during training.
Even his teacher,in some way, was always saying this special phrase about youth to him.
Of course,(Obito) didn't know that (Sosuke) was a great admirer of (Guy).
Therefore,he was always repeating his famous words during training.
So,he said it without noticing in front of (Guy), who had become accustomed to this word.
Therefore,he found no problem when (Guy) said it.
It actually made him like(Guy) more.
A perfect,symbiotic loop of endless enthusiasm was born.
But while the two were talking to each other, for the first time in his life, the White Fang's son felt excluded.
He had never imagined in his life that anyone would not pay attention to him.
He stood silently in place while the two talked excitedly about their training methods.
He was frankly surprised by the matter.
He didn't think the boy in green clothes trained all this training.
And the surprise was that the(Uchiha) clan boy was training to the same extent.
True,it was a little less, but this showed he wasn't a person who relied only on his talent.
Which was surprising to(Kakashi).
He had heard from his father that members of the(Uchiha) clan were arrogant people.
True,not all of them were like that, but most of them possessed a lot of pride regarding their lineage.
Therefore,they didn't train much, and this made them a little weak if the person they were facing had real talent.
Of course,(Kakashi) thought his father's words were correct.
Therefore,he adopted his father's way of thinking as his own.
But(Obito)'s words now made him reassess the (Uchiha).
He had never met an(Uchiha) before other than (Obito).
Nevertheless, he had another feeling.
"Why do I feel as if they are indirectly excluding me from the conversation?"
Of course,he liked solitude.
But for a strange reason,he also wanted to show off too.
In the end,(Kakashi) was still a child of 6 years old.
True,his father had conducted an early graduation test for him, where he obtained the rank of Genin.
But nevertheless,he was forced to go to the academy again because his father wanted him to make friends.
He had refused at first.
But now,he felt in an incomprehensible way that it might not be bad to reconsider early graduation.
At least,not now.
Of course,he was also sure he would join the academy officially.
The sound of(Obito) and (Guy) laughing together—a loud, joyful noise—was a strange, isolating melody to his ears.
