I founded the "Bragging Cult" in Naruto.

Chapter 281 The bad habits of a first teacher are very likely to accompany a student for life.

At the door, Obito, who had been eagerly anticipating the arrival of the boy with white hair and lifeless eyes, was immediately filled with disappointment and resentment.

Kakashi walked up to Obito and said, "It was my father who asked me to come, and this is your brother's birthday party, not yours."

Therefore, whether I come or go is a decision that only your brother, besides myself, can make.

"you"

Kakashi's words left Obito speechless. Just as he was about to resort to shamelessness, his grandmother arrived at the door, smiling as she spoke to Kakashi:

"Your name is Kakashi, right? Obito often mentions you. Come in and have a seat."

"Who talks about him all the time?!"

Obito said with dissatisfaction, but seeing the stern look in his grandmother's eyes, he lowered his head. Kakashi took the gift and followed his grandmother into the house.

Happy birthday, Senior Tianfeng.

Kakashi handed the birthday present to Tenfu, but his eyes remained fixed on Tatsuma and Minato on the sofa, only his unmasked eyes revealing a look of surprise and doubt.

Minato beckoned to him and said, "Kakashi, come and sit down."

Kakashi walked straight over and sat down between Minato and Tatsuma, saying, "Minato-nii, Tatsuma-nii, you guys actually come to this kind of boring party?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the smiles on Minato and Tatsuma's faces instantly froze, and Tenka, who had put down the gifts and was about to continue making tea, also showed a hint of embarrassment.

Yashiro frowned as he sized up the Hatake family child. In Yashiro's eyes, although Tenka's talent was poor, he was already fourteen years old, and would be fifteen by today, yet he still hadn't awakened his Sharingan.

But no matter what, Tianfeng is a member of the Uchiha clan. The Eighth Hokage knew that some people in the clan, and even in the team, were gossiping because of his overly kind attitude towards Tianfeng, but that was a matter for the Uchiha themselves.

Moreover, the Eighth Generation's friendship with Tenka was not merely a personal wish, but also because Tenka was the only Uchiha clan member who could maintain communication with Tatsuma and Minato.

Regardless, the Uchiha themselves may make unfriendly remarks about Tianfeng, but outsiders cannot! Not even if the child's father is Hatake Sakumo!

Just as Yashiro slapped his knees, preparing to stand up, Tatsuma quickly said, "Because we're friends with Tenka, how could a gathering of friends be boring?"

Although the words of reconciliation were somewhat weak, Yashiro gave up on getting up. Tenfu also maintained the politeness expected of a host and continued to brew tea. Only Sento struggled to suppress his laughter on the sofa, constantly wriggling around.

Wearing a green bodysuit, he resembled a cabbage worm that had failed to metamorphose into a butterfly and was about to crawl out of its white cocoon.

Tatsuma gave Minato a look, signaling him to say a few more words. Minato, ever the opportunist, ruffled Kakashi's hair and said, "Don't you want to invite us to your house for your birthday party?"

"May I?"

Kakashi's eyes lit up, and Tatsuma followed up, saying, "So, do you still think this kind of gathering is boring?"

".I see."

Kakashi stood up from the sofa, bowed respectfully to Tianfeng, and said, "Tianfeng-senpai, I'm so sorry, I misspoke."

"Haha~ Haha~"

Tianfeng didn't know how to answer, so he could only let out an awkward laugh, but he managed to cover it up.

When Yashiro saw Kakashi apologize, he didn't pursue the matter with a child like him. He drank the tea that Tenkaze hadn't mastered, and the group chatted casually.

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Heavenly Wind! This is... this is a gift for you."

After a while, a large, stout figure entered through the door. Ding Zuo carried three gifts in. After Tian Feng took them, Ding Zuo saw that there were no seats available and, without waiting for anyone else to make room for him, sat down directly next to the sofa.

After catching his breath, he said to Tianfeng, "Lu Jiu and Hai Yi both have missions, so they can only ask me to deliver the gifts."

Tianfeng nodded in understanding. In fact, even if Lu Jiu and Haiyi didn't have a mission, the three of them couldn't come at the same time. If they came separately, one or two of them would be a matter of personal choice.

If the three of them come together, they will unconsciously emit a certain signal. Whether it is intentional or not, whether it is true or not, many people in the village will care. Therefore, unless it is a banquet hosted by the Hokage's faction, it is impossible for the three of them to attend at the same time.

After a while, Obito finally got to invite the little girl he really wanted to invite, named Nohara Rin.

Neither Tatsuma nor Minato went over to speak to her, since they hadn't met Nohara Rin yet, and apart from the gift-giving segment, Obito had been monopolizing the conversation with Nohara Rin, so she couldn't come over to say hello.

Yatsushiro didn't stay long. After confirming that there were no other guests, he chatted briefly with Tenka and Tenka's grandmother before leaving, citing matters at the police department.

After taking out plenty of snacks, drinks, and fruit, Tianfeng's grandmother also went upstairs and did not participate in the gathering downstairs.

The atmosphere immediately became relaxed, and everyone chatted about their own topics. Tatsuma also learned that Choza had indeed been assigned by the clan and was directly thrown to Akimichi Torifu's side.

However, Choza seemed quite happy, because what he had been doing most lately was researching various delicacies with his Uncle Torifu. Torifu was in charge of cooking, and he was in charge of eating.

As a result, Ding Zuo gained weight again in a short period of time, and he was out of breath after only carrying the weight for a short while.

However, the deficiency of Qi and physical weakness did not seem to bring Ding Zuo any trouble. On the contrary, the happiness of delicious food made Ding Zuo indulge in it.

As a sensory ninja, Tatsuma could sense that Choza's physical weakness was fake. He had far more chakra than before, and due to a lack of sufficient training, this chakra not only failed to work with his body but also conflicted with its normal functioning.

Tatsuma guessed that this was probably a temporary phenomenon. After all, the Akimichi clan's Butterfly Transformation Technique required a lot of fat and energy. Perhaps Akimichi Tokiwa was trying to make Choza reach a certain requirement quickly, which is why he ignored Choza's current situation.

On the other side, Kakashi and Tenfeng also started talking because Kakashi felt guilty towards Tenfeng.

"You mean you taught Obito his Fire Release and Taijutsu?"

Upon hearing this news, Kakashi's gaze towards Tianfeng became incredibly strange. Tianfeng, oblivious, proudly puffed out his chest and said:

"Obito isn't even enrolling until next year, yet he can already unleash the Great Fireball Technique. His talent far surpasses mine."

Kakashi thought of the person in front of him, who was said to be one of the few in the Uchiha clan who had survived the Second Shinobi World War and had not awakened his Sharingan for several years.

It seems that Obito's talent is stronger than his, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Having figured this out, Kakashi looked at Obito, who was surrounding Nohara Rin not far away, with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.

Having a mentor like Uchiha Tenka, Obito's life was truly miserable. Was he being a little too harsh on this poor boy?

During this time, Kakashi studied under Sakumo Hatake. In addition to swordsmanship, ninjutsu, and taijutsu, Sakumo Hatake also taught him a lot about intelligence.

For example, the Uchiha clan is more likely to awaken or even evolve their Sharingan in the most critical situations, and usually the degree of crisis is directly proportional to the evolution of the Sharingan.

If the Sharingan is awakened during a crisis in an A-level mission, then the next evolution would require an even more dangerous situation than this crisis to evolve the Sharingan.

Uchiha Tenpu experienced the deaths of his uncle and aunt on the battlefield, and he hasn't awakened his Sharingan yet. Could it be that he's thinking of escaping?

Kakashi's gaze toward Uchiha Tenka became strange. If a timid Uchiha was to serve as the mentor of another Uchiha, instilling some cowardly ideas in him, wouldn't that be harmful?

Uchiha Tenka also noticed that Kakashi was staring at him. He felt a sudden panic. Could it be that he had been seen through? He had planned to tell Tatsuma, Minato, and that bastard Sento about activating his three-tomoe Sharingan after his birthday party today.

Could it have been discovered beforehand?

Tianfeng never expected that Kakashi was already planning in his mind whether or not to remind Obito not to learn from his cousin, or even to avoid contact with him altogether.

Tianfeng dared not look Kakashi in the eye again, let alone talk to him. He could only endure the discomfort and communicate with Qiandou. However, after a few words, the two of them turned their heads away in anger and ignored each other.

Kakashi and Rin Nohara didn't stay long; they left together as the sun set, much to Obito's anger, who followed them the whole way.

Ding Zuo, after showing off all the snacks and fruits, patted his butt and left. The birthday banquet dinner was indeed very attractive, but Uncle Feng's dinner was even more attractive.

Only four people remained in the living room. Tianfeng glanced towards the hallway and heard his grandmother's steady breathing, knowing she was resting. He then looked at Chenma and the others and said:

"Should we schedule a time to spar again, like before?"

How do you know I've mastered the art of turning back time?

Qian Dou, who had just sworn never to speak to Tian Feng again, turned around and looked at Tian Feng with a look of surprise.

Tianfeng was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth in anger. That bastard! Who asked him?! Today is clearly his birthday, how could some jerk steal his thunder?! Who invited him?!

It was me. It's alright then.

"Who cares whether you've learned how to turn the tide or not?"

Tenka's eyes widened, his black pupils quickly turning red, and the three tomoe within them slowly began to rotate. Tatsuma and Minato, who were initially somewhat confused, now became serious.

The three-tomoe Sharingan is extremely rare among the Uchiha clan, and its enhancement is far greater than that of the two-tomoe Sharingan.

Minato was unaware of the existence of the Mangekyou Sharingan. In his understanding, the three-tomoe Sharingan was the ultimate evolution, yet Tenpō had reached that level at the age of fifteen.

Tatsuma's seriousness stemmed from the powerful visual genjutsu amplification brought by the three-tomoe Sharingan, genjutsu had always been Tatsuma's weakness.

Previously, he could use his other strengths to cover up his weaknesses, but now that he saw a Sharingan ninja with three tomoe standing in front of him, Tatsuma felt a sense of crisis.

Tatsuma can see through the activation process of most illusions and avoid or dispel them, but he has never encountered a visual illusion, and he does not have the habit of not looking into his opponent's eyes.

After all, there is so much information that an opponent's eyes can convey in battle. In addition to the emotions in their eyes, there is also information directly related to the battle, such as the distance and direction of focus.

He himself was not sure if he could change Tatsuma's habit of looking into his opponent's eyes during a match in a short time.

Looking at the solemn Tatsuma and Minato, Tenka couldn't help but reveal a smug smile. The sense of accomplishment of finally catching up with, and even surpassing, his friends was even greater than today's birthday party.

Tatsuma stared at Tenfu's three-tomoe Sharingan and said, "I think it's a good idea. We can arrange it sometime. By the way, when did you awaken your three-tomoe Sharingan?"

Sento nodded and asked curiously, "Yeah, you bully men and women in Konoha every day, how did you manage to evolve your Sharingan?"

"Nonsense! Can you call the Uchiha Police Department's actions...can you call it bullying men and women?!"

Tianfeng's face turned bright red, and the tomoe in his eyes gradually faded. He took a few deep breaths before saying, "As for the three-tomoe Sharingan, it's related to the mission that Tatsuma and Minato went to the Land of Lightning."

In order to counter the leak from Kumogakure, the village requested the security department to strengthen its surveillance of Kumogakure ninja. During the intelligence gathered during this surveillance operation, I discovered traces of the person who murdered Obito's parents.
