Naruto: Nara's skill set is incredibly sneaky.

Chapter 137 Love-Obsessed

"Lin!"

Seeing Rin being dragged away, Obito abandoned his Susanoo and rushed out after her.

Upon seeing this, Bai Si revealed a triumphant expression.

His original plan to attack Nohara Rin was reversed, and he swallowed Uchiha Obito whole.

In his eagerness to save lives, Obito didn't even have time to activate his Hollowfication before being teleported away.

Seeing this, Nohara Rin still did not give up and took out a kunai.

However, she was left all alone and had no way to escape. After a few rounds, she was swallowed by Bai.

This training camp has now come to an end.

There were already quite a few people in the Hokage's office.

Minato and Shikatoki were originally watching from the sidelines, but now Orochimaru, Tsunade, and even Hiruzen Sarutobi have come to see their son's performance.

People from the Uchiha clan also came.

However, judging from Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression, Asuma Sarutobi's performance was rather mediocre.

"Lin! I'm so glad you're alright!"

Obito excitedly went to Rin's side.

Rin said with a hint of helplessness, "Obito, I'm very grateful for your protection, but I can actually do it on my own."

Obito scratched his head and chuckled, "It's only right that I protect Rin."

"Ahem!"

The deer sometimes makes a sound.

All eyes turned to them.

"I'm in charge of this training camp, so I need to understand your strength when we meet for the first time. A battle is the best and simplest way to do that."

As Lu Shi spoke, he picked up a notebook from the table.

"Below is the score for this training camp, out of 10."

"First of all, Kabuto, Itachi, and Shisui are all relatively young, and participating in the Chunin Exams is just an experience for them, so I won't give them any scores. However, all three of them performed well and remained calm under pressure."

"Kakashi, 7 points. He can quickly coordinate and command when things happen, but he is indecisive when it comes to judgment, especially when it involves Obito Uchiha and Rin Nohara."

Kakashi looked up at his father and then asked with some frustration, "Brother Shikatoki, the situation was a bit chaotic at the time, and Asuma acted on his own. I was originally going to support Asuma, but Itachi and the others refused."

"The reason is still what you said: respect for the fate of others."

"So at this point, you need to make a decisive judgment: whether to prioritize rescuing Asuma or integrating the team. Now that you've taken over command, you must make a quick decision! Even if that decision is wrong!"

Kakashi was a little confused by what Shikamochi said.

Sakumo Hatake patted Kakashi's head. "Son, what Shikatoki means is that if we really get to the battlefield or in a special situation, there won't be much time for you to hesitate. As the commander, you must make a decisive decision."

"If you choose to pursue Asuma, then abandon those who disagree and set off with those who agree. If you choose to abandon Asuma, then quickly integrate the existing people and stop trying to rescue him."

Upon hearing this, Kakashi remained silent and simply lowered his head in thought.

Continue with the deer.

"Nohara Rin, 6 points. You did what a ninja should do, but that's all. You have the Three-Tails inside you, but I didn't see it improve you in any way. Of course, this may also be thanks to Uchiha Obito."

Shika looked at Uchiha Obito.

This guy is still grinning like an idiot.

"Obito Uchiha, 3 points!"

"Why?!"

Obito Uchiha's eyes widened. "Brother Shikatoki! Are you mistaken? I have Susanoo and Intangibility, and I've protected Rin multiple times. Even if I'm not a 9, I should be on par with Kakashi, right?"

Shika took a deep breath. "You're only thinking about protecting Rin! You act impulsively whenever Kakashi is in danger, and you panic even more when Rin is in danger."

"Why has Hakumi repeatedly targeted Nohara Rin? It's because your Hollowfication is difficult to deal with, and he knows that Rin is your weakness."

"And is Rin weak? Not at all. You're the one affecting Rin's performance! Obito, you need to learn to trust Rin."

Obito Uchiha remained silent.

Ever since Rin experienced the Kannabi Bridge incident and the Three-Tails incident, Obito has been extremely cautious around her, fearing that she might accidentally encounter danger again.

"But, but I have the ability, and Rin is a medical ninja, I—"

"Obito!"

Fugaku Uchiha interrupted Obito.

"Lu Shijun is right. Don't shoulder everything by yourself. Learn to trust your teammates."

Obito stopped talking.

Lu Shi knew that the best way to get a love-struck person to obey was not to force them, but to seek help from their love-struck partner.

Shika gave Nohara Rin a wink.

Rin nodded and took Obito's hand.

Obito's mood visibly improved. "Rin."

"Obito, I know you mean well, but I'm growing too. I don't need to be protected by you and Kakashi all the time, so are you willing to believe in me and give me a chance?" Rin asked gently.

Obito nodded immediately, "Of course I'm willing!"

Shikatoki raised an eyebrow at Uchiha Fugaku.

Fugaku turned his head and wondered how such a cold and aloof clan as the Uchiha could produce a sycophant like Obito Uchiha!

Uchiha Mikoto, who had come along, smiled and said to Itachi, "Youth is truly wonderful!"

Itachi looked up at Mikoto, "Mom, what do you mean 'young'?"

"How are things going with Izumi?" Mikoto Uchiha's question made Itachi Uchiha lower his head.

Shisui, who was standing to the side, burst out laughing.

That laugh ruined things.

"Shisui, you have to work hard! Find a goal soon."

"Uh—" Shisui laughed awkwardly, "Aunt Mikoto, I'm still young, no rush."

Upon hearing his score, Might Guy instantly burst into tears. "Waaaaah! This is the first time in all these years I've passed an exam! I'm so excited! Tomorrow I'm definitely going to run a hundred laps around Konoha!"

"Kay executed the plan well, but lacked his own judgment, which is something he needs to improve on."

"Yes, Lord Shikatoki!" Kai said energetically.

"The last two."

Shika looked at Shizune and Sarutobi Asuma.

Shizune lowered her head in embarrassment, while Sarutobi Asuma remained nonchalant.

"Silence, 1 point, consider it an encouragement point. Your performance was rather poor. As a medical ninja, I don't force you to attack, but you should know how to dodge and not cause trouble for your teammates. That's the minimum requirement."

Shizune nodded. "Thank you, Lord Lu Shi. I understand."

Tsunade, being quite magnanimous, pulled Shizune into her arms.

"Haha, little Jingyin, I told you to practice with me more before, now you're suffering, aren't you?"

"Lady Tsunade, I never expected you to push me into the Chunin Exams!" Shizune muttered softly.

"Young people need more experience," Tsunade said with a matter-of-fact smile.

"Finally, it's Sarutobi Asuma, 0 points!"

No sooner had Shikatoki finished speaking than Sarutobi Asuma exploded, "Nara Shikatoki! What the hell do you mean?! Are you targeting our Sarutobi clan? Even if I performed terribly, I still performed better than Shizune!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi grabbed Asuma Sarutobi, "Apologize!"

Asma looked at his father incredulously. "I'm not apologizing! I didn't say anything wrong!"

"you!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was immediately enraged.

Shikatoki stopped Hiruzen Sarutobi, then looked at Asuma Sarutobi, "Your performance at the beginning was indeed good, with solid taijutsu and stable ninjutsu. It's clear that the Third Hokage trained you very well."

"However, when you ignored Kakashi's advice and left directly, your current score was already predetermined."

"Acting without regard for the team is one of the reasons."

"Knowing that it was getting late and the journey home was dangerous, they still ignored all advice and left, that's the second point."

"I have no problem with you, I just have a problem with your actions. You're not young anymore. Kakashi and the others your age have already been on the battlefield, while you've been protected too much by the Third Hokage. You've been too presumptuous in your actions."

"You'll inevitably have to leave the village to do missions in the future. This mentality of yours will ruin you and your teammates."

Shika's words left Sarutobi Asuma speechless, and he could only remain silent.

In fact, it's the same in the original work.

When he was a little unhappy, Sarutobi Asuma simply ran away and became one of the Daimyo's Twelve Guardian Ninja.

Asuma is so free because his father is the Third Hokage.

Look, if Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't the Hokage, who would tolerate Asuma Sarutobi?

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed.

He had seen Asuma's performance today, and it seemed that he had really protected Asuma too well.
