When the three of them arrived at the Southern Forest, they saw Yamato who was practicing.
"Kakashi-senpai, you guys have finished the competition."
Yamato greeted his seniors whom he hadn't seen for a long time with a happy look on his face.
"Yamato, how did you know that I won the second place in the Youth Martial Arts Tournament and became the highest-ranked Konoha ninja."
Obito finished speaking at a very fast speed and then showed a satisfied smile.
Yamato: ...
Did he just ask for the ranking?
"Moreover, aren't the seniors the first ones?" Yamato was a little surprised.
He thought that Might Guy or Kakashi would be first, but he didn't expect that they wouldn't even be second.
"That's really impressive, you achieved such great results." Yamato congratulated honestly.
Although I don't know how Obito did it, but under such circumstances, it's nothing wrong to describe it as amazing that he got second place.
"That's good, Yamato. If you work hard and train for a few more years, you will definitely get a good ranking in this kind of competition again." Obito smiled and patted Yamato's shoulder to encourage him.
He really enjoyed the feeling of being guided by a senior.
"I will try my best not to embarrass my seniors and Teacher Mu Yue." Yamato shouted with great fighting spirit.
"Senior Kakashi, Senior Shisui, how are your grades?" Yamato looked at Kakashi and Shisui curiously.
Originally, he wasn't going to ask about the results, but because the results revealed by Obito were quite different from what Yamato had originally imagined, he became curious.
"Top eight," Kakashi replied.
"The top four," Shisui replied.
As the two announced their results, Obito stood taller, becoming the best performing player in Konoha.
Great, no words needed.
"Are there so many geniuses in this competition? Even you, Kakashi-senpai, only made it to the quarterfinals." Yamato asked in surprise.
At this moment, in Yamato's mind, the level of the Youth Martial Arts Tournament was suddenly raised.
"There are indeed many geniuses, and my opponent in the quarterfinals is Kai," Kakashi explained.
Excluding the factor of summoning beasts' evolution, Nagato, Might Guy and Sasori are the three strongest players in the martial arts tournament.
These three people are the kind that anyone who meets them will easily be eliminated by them. If you don't meet them, your road to promotion will be relatively smooth.
Yamato understood instantly that due to the difference in the order of the competition, the final ranking would be somewhat determined by luck, and Kakashi's luck was obviously average.
"Which ninja village's ninja is number one?"
Yamato wanted to know who was number one, and he actually defeated all his predecessors to take the first place.
"His name is Nagato. He is not a ninja from any ninja village, but a ninja from the Ninja Clan, the organizer of the Youth Martial Arts Tournament." Kakashi once again gave an answer that surprised Yamato.
"He's not a ninja from the five major ninja villages." Yamato was very surprised.
In his opinion, only the other four major ninja villages can compete with the Konoha ninjas.
"Don't underestimate other ninja organizations. Although the average quality of ninjas in the five major ninja villages is far superior to other ninja organizations, there will occasionally be an extraordinary genius." Kakashi shook his head and reminded.
In Kakashi's eyes, Hanzo of the past, and Sosuke and Nagato of today, all belong to this type.
They may not be able to change the general trend, but it is easy to fall if you underestimate them.
After starting to practice, Obito hesitated for a moment, but decided to use the summoning technique to summon Charizard at home.
Bang!
White smoke flashed, and a sturdy Charizard appeared next to Obito.
Yamato's eyes widened when he noticed the Charizard. His impression of Charizard was still from the time when he was a Charmeleon.
The change was so great that Yamato thought Obito had contracted a new summoning beast.
'Jet of flame!'
After Charizard came out, it quickly observed the surroundings. After finding that there were no enemies, it decisively condensed its chakra and gave Obito the first flame to return Konoha.
Obito knew Charizard very well. When he decided to summon Charizard, he had already thought of this result.
So Obito had already opened his Sharingan in advance and dodged the incoming pillar of fire by turning sideways.
"That's right, it's Obito-senpai's summoning beast. It must have evolved again, so its appearance has changed." Yamato nodded.
He had only seen this style of painting on Obito and Charmeleon.
"Charizard, I think we should learn from the others. Training doesn't necessarily mean fighting," Obito suggested with a serious face.
Charizard crossed its chest with its claws, two streams of hot liquid spurted out of its nostrils, and looked at Obito with disdain.
In the past, when it was weak, it bullied it every day. Now that it is strong, it wants to change, but there is no way!
In a sense, it is also for Obito's own good. Obito is not as strong as Might Guy, and he can't fly like him. Wouldn't it be easy to become a flaw in the battle?
"Ouch!"
"Combat training allows us to exercise together and develop tacit understanding. It says so." Zoroark translated after jumping onto Shisui's shoulder.
Obito: ...
Develop a tacit understanding to attack each other, right?
However, since Charizard had come up with this excuse, it was really difficult for Obito to refute it.
"The art of spiritual communication!"
Kakashi shook his head and summoned the Wolfman to practice together.
"Kakashi-senpai, is this Mane Rock?"
Looking at the handsome Dusk Mane Wolfman, Yamato recalled the appearance of the Wolfdog and struggled to find a few similarities between the two.
"Well, it evolved." Kakashi replied as he touched the head of the Wolf Mane.
Although its size has become much larger after evolution, some of Garou's habits have not changed. It likes to be stroked on the head by Kakashi.
"That's great." Yamato was a little envious.
He also wanted a summoning beast, even if it wasn't as powerful as Kakashi and the others'.
As Obito and the others worked hard in their training, time passed quickly. The scorching sun in the sky soon set towards the west, leaving only a little afterglow to illuminate the earth.
As dusk approached, the disciples stopped practicing and prepared to go home for dinner.
"Little Charizard, wait until I learn the Fire Style Ninjutsu taught by Teacher Mu Yue, and see if you dare to be so rampant again." Obito now just wanted to fast forward to the day after tomorrow and learn Blue Flame from Mu Yue.
Charizard was so rampant that Obito felt it necessary to master a ninjutsu that would make Charizard listen to him quietly.
"Ouch."
"Ahhh."
Since Shisui and Obito were traveling together, Charizard also stayed with Zoroark, and the two discussed tonight's battle meeting against Obito.
Charizard: "To deal with an evil Uchiha brat like Obito you have to use your heavy claws."
Zoroark: "That's not right, Shisui is very good."
Charizard: "That's the evil goggle-eyed imp."
Obito suddenly felt a chill on his back and looked suspiciously in the direction of Charizard, but he could not quite understand the encrypted communication between the two.
"Zorua, it's time to go home for dinner." When they reached a fork in the road, Shisui waved to Zoroa.
"Yeah."
Zoroark suddenly jumped and tried to jump onto Shisui's shoulder, but was ruthlessly grabbed by Shisui and held in his arms.
After practicing for most of the day, Shisui was now very tired. In this state, his shoulders could not withstand the pressure brought by Zoroark.
After all, he has no family members who will prepare meals for him, and if he hurts his shoulders, the result will be that Zoroark can only eat dog food from the Inuzuka clan, and Shisui can only eat instant noodles.
After a simple dinner, Shisui took Zoroark for a walk outside.
Halfway through his walk, Shisui headed towards Uchiha Fugaku's home.
Uchiha Fugaku was very concerned about the Youth Martial Arts Tournament, and Shisui felt that Uchiha Fugaku should know the final result of the Youth Martial Arts Tournament.
"With Obito, me, and Charizard, we are already a strong force in the Uchiha clan." Shisui thought to himself.
In Shisui's vision, if he wants to solve the Uchiha problem, reforming the police department is a necessary step.
So Shisui had a showdown with Uchiha Fugaku before, wanting Uchiha Fugaku to stand on his side.
However, at that time, Shisui still underestimated the temptation of the Police Department to Uchiha, and overestimated Uchiha Fugaku's courage.
He thought that his and Obito's performance was enough to make Uchiha Fugaku make up his mind, but was still rejected by Uchiha Fugaku.
But it is different now. Although their own strength has not improved much, Obito's Pokémon has evolved, and Charizard has become as powerful as Obito.
In addition, the martial arts association has made their reputation soar, and Shisui really wants to know whether their current weight in Uchiha Fugaku's heart can change Uchiha Fugaku's attitude.
When Shisui arrived at Uchiha Fugaku's house, the Uchiha Fugaku family had just finished their meal and the whole family was sitting in the yard.
"Brother Shisui." Uchiha Itachi's eyes lit up slightly when he saw Shisui.
"Shisui, congratulations on reaching the top four in the martial arts tournament." Uchiha Fugaku said with a smile.
In fact, his initial expectation for Obito and Shisui was to be in the top four and top two, because in Uchiha Fugaku's eyes, Shisui and Obito were the two most outstanding geniuses in the Uchiha clan in the past few decades.
However, as the performances of various contestants spread, Uchiha Fugaku also realized that the Youth Martial Arts Tournament was a real battle between dragons and tigers, more difficult than he had imagined, and the rankings were more valuable.
"Actually, this result is partly due to my good luck in the draw. I will need to practice more in the future," Shisui said modestly.
Kakashi and Sasori are both stronger than him. If Shisui met them before the semi-finals, he would most likely be eliminated.
"Itachi, this is something you need to learn from Shisui. Even though he is so outstanding, Shisui still remains humble and continues to work hard to make progress." Uchiha Fugaku showed an appreciative expression and said to Uchiha Itachi.
To Uchiha Fugaku, being humble is not particularly important, but hard work is a rare quality.
Even in the Uchiha clan, which values strength, not everyone practices diligently every day.
Uchiha Itachi nodded. Although there were many things he didn't understand, he did think Shisui was very outstanding and subconsciously felt a yearning for him.
"Uncle Fugaku, you're too kind. Maybe Itachi will be better than me in the future." Shisui said with a smile as he walked to Uchiha Itachi.
Uchiha Itachi would be a genius ninja, Shisui was sure of that.
If he was not a genius, how could he have the strength to exterminate the Uchiha clan at such a young age, and how could he join the evil Akatsuki organization which is full of strong people.
It is hard to say whether he can surpass Shisui, after all, he is the unprecedented eight-year-old jonin in Konoha's history.
Shisui just thought that praising Itachi like this would make Itachi happy.
As expected, Itachi smiled.
It is indeed a happy thing to be praised by the older brother you admire.
"Not to mention surpassing him, I would be very happy if Itachi had the same talent as you, Shisui." Uchiha Fugaku was also very pleased with this.
Who doesn't want their children to be better?
"Uncle Fugaku, I have some family matters I want to discuss with you." After the greetings, Shisui explained his purpose.
He came here today not to guide Uchiha Itachi, his main purpose was to test Uchiha Fugaku's thoughts.
"Mikoto, take good care of Itachi."
After giving Uchiha Mikoto a warning, Uchiha Fugaku prepared to take Shisui to the study.
"Itachi, I'll leave Zoroark in your care for the time being."
Shisui asked Zoroark to go to Uchiha Itachi.
"Even Shisui can't look down on me. Shouldn't I be the one taking care of him?" Zoroark puffed up his cheeks slightly.
"The fox spoke..." Uchiha Itachi's eyes widened in shock.
Although it was not the first time he saw Zoraya, it was the first time that Zoraya demonstrated his telepathic ability in front of Uchiha Itachi.
Zoroa's "speaking" is essentially communication on the spiritual level. Zoroa will only use it when communicating with his companions or encountering creatures of interest. He does not use telepathy all the time.
"He's really a little brat who needs care. Why are you making such a fuss?" Zoroya curled his lips.
Uchiha Fugaku also looked at Zoroark curiously.
He had seen summoning beasts that could talk. It was rare but not too uncommon. However, Zoroark's way of communicating reminded Uchiha Fugaku of the secret techniques of the Yamanaka clan.
Uchiha Fugaku was a man who had seen many storms and waves. He suppressed the slight curiosity in his heart and invited Shisui to the study for a talk.
"I hope it's not that thing again." Uchiha Fugaku vaguely guessed Shisui's intention and felt a little headache.
Although he attaches great importance to Shisui, there are too many interests involved in the police department.
Even if Uchiha Fugaku, the biggest vested interest in the Police Department, is willing to reform, other Uchiha high-ranking officials or the Uchiha ninjas below may not agree.
"Zorua is so cute, can I hug him?" Looking at the cute Zoroark, Uchiha Mikoto asked gently.
Whether a girl or a young woman, it is hard to resist cute things.
"Hmph, Zoroya, not everyone can hug me. But since you can talk, I will allow you to hug me for one minute." Zoroya snorted, and agreed because of the cute sound.
Uchiha Mikoto held Zoroark in her arms and gently stroked the hair on his back.
Then he scratched Zoroark's chin as if he was petting a cat.
Zoroya narrowed his eyes. Damn, it seemed a little comfortable.
"Go back and let Shisui try it too." Although he was enjoying the service, Zoroark did not forget Shisui.
