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

To be honest, the beer tastes just so-so. It tastes no different from plain water, except for a slightly bitter taste.

In comparison, he still prefers drinking beverages, at least they are sweet enough.

"Oh yeah!"

Obito excitedly held up the menu and smiled at Rin, saying...

"Lin, you don't have to force yourself. We men can have a few drinks."

Lin nodded: "Okay. Order me a C set meal, and strawberry milk for my drink."

Then, Obito picked up all the dishes that everyone had ordered and handed them to the waiter:

That's all for now. I'll add more later if needed. Thank you.

After the waiter left, Obito remembered something, walked to the front seat, and asked with a smile:

"After graduation, besides doing assignments, what do you all want to do?"

"Yeah. Like dreams and stuff."

"My dream is to become Hokage and leave my cool goggles and eyes on the Hokage Rock."

"Hehe, I must have awakened the Sharingan back then, I definitely have to have the Sharingan engraved on it!"

"With my imposing Sharingan, I will deter those ninja villages that attempt to wage war!"

"That way, the village can remain peaceful, and no one will be injured or die because of the war!"

"Let's talk about this when you become Hokage and awaken the Sharingan," Kakashi immediately poured cold water on the idea.

"Idiot Kakashi, I, Obito Uchiha, can definitely do this!"

"Don't look down on the Uchiha name I bear!!"

Obito clenched his fist and roared.

“I believe Obito’s Sharingan will intimidate all the ninja villages,” Haneda interjected in agreement.

"Listen, even Haneda believes me!!"

"Hmph, you idiot Kakashi, you love to roast others so much, so tell me what your dream is?"

Obito retorted.

"my dream?"

Kakashi hesitated for a moment.

He lowered his head and pondered for a while, a scene of Haneda bathed in sunlight flashing through his mind.

“Like the moon, watch over the sun,” Kakashi said.

"It's baffling," Obito commented simply, then looked at Rin and asked,

"Lin-chan~ What about you?"

Lin rested her chin on her hand; she had thought about it beforehand and quickly replied:

"I guess I'll become a medical ninja. It would be nice to heal the sick and save lives."

"Yes, learning medical ninjutsu will also allow me to protect everyone."

"As expected of Rin-chan! She's so gentle, kind, and always considerate of others!!"

Obito blushed slightly as he thought of Rin's words about protecting everyone.

That includes myself!

Remembering there were still two people he hadn't asked, Obito quickly shook his head, clearing his mind of complicated thoughts, and looked at Guy:

"Watermelon Head, even though you always forget people's names, you work so hard, you must have a goal to strive for, right?"

"Of course! This is all for improving myself and then defeating my lifelong rival, Uchiha Haneda!"

Kai looked at Haneda excitedly and said eagerly.

He would often think of this fateful duel without realizing it.

Adding to his feelings for Haneda, Kai spoke up without hesitation.

However, Obito also asked about dreams and such, and Guy tapped his head and said:

"As for dreams... protecting our companions and the village should count, right?"

Suddenly, Kai remembered his father's words, clenched his fist again, and said passionately:

"Yoshi! To burn my youth and protect what's most important—that's my dream!"

"Still the same as before, he can't stop talking about youth." Obito muttered to himself.

However, he still approves of Kai's dream, and he also has things he wants to protect.

Obito glanced at Rin, then his gaze finally settled on Haneda:

"Haneda, although I hate to admit it, with your talent and strength, your dreams must be extraordinary, right?"

"dream?"

Haneda initially intended to just go through the motions, but seeing how serious everyone was, he rested his chin on his hand and began to ponder.

Memories of the past float into my mind, and future scenarios overlap with those of the past.

Obito turned to the dark side for Rin and to change the despairing reality...

The lonely scarecrow was redeemed by the former Class 7...

Kind-hearted Lin sacrificed herself for her companions and the village...

Guy burned his youth for the peace of the ninja world...

Without exception, everyone's ending was unfortunate, yet it was also just right to be accepted.

But Haneda didn't want that.

He wanted to break free from his predetermined fate.

Haneda tilted his head back and smiled:

"Seeing everyone safe and sound is my dream."

"What? I thought you were going to try and steal the Hokage from me. How boring," Obito retorted.

"Heh, if Haneda wanted to be Hokage, you definitely wouldn't have a chance. Be glad you're the worst off," Kakashi said.

"Shut up! You idiot Kakashi! One day I'll become Hokage and prove myself!!"

"The bottom-ranked student has no chance; they can't even pass the written exam of the Chunin Exams."

……

After playing around for a while, the waiter pushed a small cart in.

She placed the grilled meat and drinks ordered by Haneda and the other five people down and then left.

Obito picked up his wine cup and shouted:

"Come on! Cheers to our dreams!!"

…………

Chapter 55 Class 9

Around noon, Haneda vaguely remembered being carried back, though he didn't know what had happened.

I feel a little dizzy and my throat is very uncomfortable.

Haneda deduced that he had been forced to drink by Obito and was now extremely drunk.

He glanced around and saw that it was Obito's house, and Obito was sleeping right next to him.

It's very possible that Rin asked someone to bring him back, or it's possible that a member of the Uchiha clan who was secretly watching him carried him back.

Haneda got up and looked out the window. The sun was shining brightly outside; it was still afternoon.

At this time, according to his usual habits, he should be practicing his sword at Uncle Sakumo's place.

Haneda rubbed his eyes, regained his composure, and changed into a new set of clothes from Obito's closet.

These clothes were left at Obito's house because Obito always liked to chat and sleep with him at night.

The clothes that have been washed are naturally left here.

Haneda glanced at the sleeping Obito, who was drooling and grinning foolishly, probably dreaming about something.

"Never mind, I won't bother him. Let's go see Uncle Sakumo first. Um, I guess I should call him teacher..."

Haneda tiptoed past Obito, opened the door, closed it gently, and then quickly walked down the stairs.

As I left the stairwell, Obito's grandmother appeared at the top of the stairs.

She held out the hangover soup and said:

"Let's finish our drink before we go to training, Haneda. It'll be more comfortable that way."

"Okay, thank you grandma."
