Naruto: With maxed-out affection, I am invincible in the ninja world.

"Be careful, don't get distracted in the exam room again."

Obito tilted his head back and said:

"Of course not, Minato-sensei!"

"After half a year of hard work, I've become stronger too!"

Kakashi couldn't stand the confident attitude of the bottom student and sneered coldly:

"Without Haneda, even the worst student wouldn't pass the written test."

"Shut up! You idiot Kakashi!!" Obito opened his three-tomoe Sharingan and struck a cool pose.

"Before these eyes that can see through all illusions, the Chunin Exams are nothing."

Kakashi, upon hearing the familiar words, subconsciously glanced at Haneda.

He had heard this kind of talk from Haneda many times.

Surprisingly, even the worst performer started imitating it...

Kakashi scoffed, "You're mimicking Haneda again, you loser."

"That's called quoting, you idiot Kakashi!"

As expected, Obito and Kakashi started their usual bickering again, with Rin trying to mediate, while Minato watched helplessly.

This familiar scene warmed Haneda's heart, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up slightly.

…………

Because Obito was going to participate in the Chunin Exams, Haneda's main body, like his shadow clone, also began training.

A week later, the Third Hokage suddenly sent someone with a message:

Due to their outstanding performance on the battlefield, resisting the Sand Village's surprise attack and joining forces to defeat Rasa, Uchiha Haneda and Hatake Kakashi were specially granted the status of Jonin.

The news of two eleven-year-old Jonin caused a sensation in Konoha.

However, due to the attention drawn to Haneda, Kakashi, and Rasa's battle, almost no one questioned it.

Even if someone questions it, they will fall silent under the weight of irrefutable evidence.

This news made the name of the Konoha Twins even more famous.

Major ninja villages, including Sunagakure, began to take notice of this prodigy.

Soon after, another piece of news spread, causing a sensation throughout the entire ninja world.

With the support of Chiyo, Ebizo, and other high-ranking members of Sunagakure, Rasa became the Fourth Kazekage!

And Uchiha Haneda and Hatake Kakashi, who captured him, became famous throughout the ninja world!

Many Uchiha clan members, including Fugaku and the clan head, came to offer their congratulations.

Minato, Sakumo, and Kushina also offered their congratulations in person.

Haneda, who hadn't cared much about these things before, couldn't help but feel a little happy.

However, all these rumors were spread during the Chunin Exams, and the hype died down considerably after a week.

By the time Obito easily defeated a group of genin and his name appeared on the list of chunin recruits, few people outside of ninjas paid any attention to this news.

Obito was unaware of this; he was in high spirits at the moment.

When Rin walked out of the exam room, she found Obito.

She whispered a few words in Obito's ear, her face slightly flushed, and Obito's face immediately turned red.

Lin actually told me to wait for her under the cherry blossom tree!

Chapter 145 Confession Under the Cherry Blossom Tree

Under a cherry blossom tree in the park, when spring arrives, the pink cherry blossoms are completely devoid of any green.

Pink cherry blossoms fluttered down like snowflakes in the rustling wind.

After Rin informed Obito, Obito arrived at the cherry blossom tree early in the morning.

He was holding a bunch of red roses, which he had bought at a flower shop he passed by; they were the most expensive roses in the shop.

Thinking about his upcoming confession, Obito paced back and forth.

After a long while, he held the roses in his right hand and clenched them tightly in his left.

"Today, I must confess my feelings to Lin!!"

Obito mentally cheered himself up.

Just then, a familiar sound of footsteps came from behind. It was Lin running over, greeting him.

Obito quickly hid the red rose behind his back, preparing to give Rin a surprise.

"Sorry I'm late..."

Lin clapped her hands, squinted one eye, and smiled sheepishly.

Obito was about to wave his hand and say, "It's nothing."

When Rin used "everyone" as the last person in her words, Obito paused for a second.

He looked around and saw that his former classmates, including Watermelon Head, Asma, and Red, were all there.

Obito hurriedly hid the red rose, feeling embarrassed and disappointed.

It turns out Lin was inviting everyone to get together, not just him.

He was just being delusional...

But what about Haneda and that idiot Kakashi?

hateful!

When I left the exam room, no one was there, and now I'm late!

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Lin continued:

"I called everyone together to discuss how to celebrate."

"What are you discussing to celebrate?" Obito asked, puzzled, wondering if there was some good news in the village.

Could it be that Mr. Bunta Takakura has found a girlfriend?

Rin took out a stack of papers, handed the information about Haneda and Kakashi to Obito, and explained with a smile:

"Weren't Haneda and Kakashi promoted to Jonin?"

"I think our peers could send some gifts together."

"We are proud to be their contemporaries."

Upon hearing that it was a congratulatory message for Brother Haneda, Asuma immediately said:

"That's right! The news of Haneda's promotion to Jonin has already spread throughout Konoha!"

"Last time, Brother Haneda captured Rasa and made him the Kazekage. I, Sarutobi Asuma, feel deeply proud of Brother Haneda!"

Kai laughed, "Yoshi! As expected of Haneda and Kakashi, they became Jonin so early!"

"Lin and Asma are right, I'm also proud of their youth!"

What do you think, Runtu?

Upon hearing Runtu's name, Daitu, who had originally intended to correct him, immediately understood.

But seeing everyone's happy and proud expressions, not because of his promotion to Chunin, he felt somewhat down.

And my planned confession today has also fallen through...

Lin smiled and asked, "Obito, what gift do you think would be a good choice?"

"what??"

Obito snapped out of his daze, and his expression returned to normal.

Although he was celebrating for the idiot Kakashi, he was very disdainful.

But Haneda was still worth it.

Even though Haneda didn't come to see me during the Chunin Exams, he didn't come when I left the exam hall either.

"Haneda...he, he should like...well, he'll like anything that's given to him."

"As for Kakashi... let's send him some useful ninja tools instead."

Suddenly, a figure walked over. That familiar handsomeness and cool demeanor brought back that feeling!

It's Prince Yu!!!

A group of girls stared at Haneda with infatuation, but Haneda walked right past them and complained to Obito:

"Why did you come here? I waited for you at the entrance for almost two hours!"

As an Uchiha, Haneda has very sharp eyes.
