Naruto: Starting with the Celebrity of Japan

Obito, who had been kicked away, sat up shakily.

There was a huge shoe print on his face, and the other side of his face was visibly swollen.

Minato gave Ranshu a slightly reproachful look, and then said:

"Luanxiu, you went a bit too far."

With that, Minato walked over to Obito's spot, intending to help him up.

"I'm fine! I'm fine! You don't need to help me!"

Obito shouted loudly from the side.

Then he waved his hands, refusing anyone's help.

"The training ground is really slippery!"

Obito forced an explanation.

Of course, everyone present was thinking to themselves:

Yes, yes, it's not that you're bad at the game, it's just that the ground was too slippery, the sun was too strong, the weather was too cold, the network was lagging, the touch screen was intermittent, the keys were stuck, my hands were shaking, the frame rate was low, the latency was high, I had no feel for the game, I was tired, I misjudged, I was just playing casually, the opponent was cheating, the food delivery arrived, the cue was too old, the hole was too small, the table was too high, and I wasn't in good form...

However, seeing Obito's condition, Minato felt that he should be alright.

It seems that Ran Shu only opened two of the Eight Gates earlier, and he was holding back against Obito.

"You've gone too far, Obito! Remember, arrogance and carelessness are absolutely unforgivable mistakes!"

Minato solemnly lectured Obito.

Kakashi, who was standing to the side, was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, thinking to himself:

This phrase seems so familiar...

The competition ended, and Obito limped back to the crowd, never mentioning Ransom's appointment as captain again.

Xiaolin saw a large footprint on Obito's face and felt a little sorry for him, so she took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped it off.

"Obito, look at you. Here, it'll hurt a little, bear with it..."

As Lin spoke, she touched Lao Gao's swollen face with a handkerchief.

Obito stared blankly at Rin, who was so close to him...

He suddenly realized that getting kicked wasn't so bad after all...

"Hiss—it doesn't hurt."

Obito gritted his teeth and said.

But Obito only felt comforted for a second before Rin's words chilled him to the bone.

Xiaolin frowned slightly and earnestly advised:

"Obito, promise me you won't rub your head against those fancy shoe soles anymore, okay?"

After saying that, Xiaolin put away the handkerchief and turned her gaze back to Luanxiu not far away...

In a fit of rage...

I got angry!

After all, with everyone watching, he couldn't really do anything to Luanxiu...

However, Obito's dislike for Ranshu deepened a little.

His thoughts drifted back to the white humanoid creature he had seen before.

"Damn it! When will I finally get the power that person promised me?!"

Obito thought to himself with dissatisfaction.

Just then, a passage opened up in the crowd, and the Third Hokage, wearing a Hokage hat, walked out with two Root subordinates.

"Wow, it's so lively."

The Third Hokage looked at the elites of Konoha and said with a smile.

"Ran Shu and Obito just had a friendly sparring session."

Minato explained the current situation to the Third Hokage.

Upon hearing this, the Third Hokage glanced at Obito... and at Obito's swollen face, thinking to himself, "So this is indeed a friendly sparring match..."

"Losing to a random show is nothing to be ashamed of, young man."

The Third Hokage comforted Obito.

These words sparked another round of discussion among the crowd.

No one expected that even the Hokage knew about Ran Shu's amazing strength.

Even Ranshu himself was somewhat surprised.

But then I thought, it must be that old bastard, the Third Generation, spying on me with the crystal ball...

Otherwise, he couldn't have acted so familiar with it...

After exchanging pleasantries with the young ninjas of Konoha to show that the Hokage had become one with everyone, the Third Hokage stood at the front of the group.

What followed was the usual content of the speech.

It generally includes several aspects such as "further enhancing ideological understanding, building consensus on the Will of Fire, and focusing on the primary responsibilities and duties of ninjas"...

"Alright, that's all I have to say. Everyone's mission is very difficult. Especially on the battlefield in the Land of Water, Kirigakure seems to be showing signs of a counterattack. The teams operating here need to be extra careful."

Finally, the Third Generation specifically asked Ran Shu and a few other squads to be careful.

"Alright, dismissed!"

With a command from the water gate.

The teams on the training field scattered instantly, heading to their respective battlefields.

Just as Ranshu and the others were about to leave, Minato suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Ranshu.

"Um?"

Ranshu turned around and looked at Minato, puzzled.

"Luanxiu, I've been so busy lately that I haven't taught you anything. As your teacher, isn't that incredibly irresponsible?"

Minato said with shame.

I know you're right, but I can't really blame you...

Then, Ranshu saw Minato take out a ninjutsu scroll and hand it to Ranshu.

"Here, take this. It contains some sealing techniques, which may be very difficult to understand, but Ranshu, you have a strong comprehension ability, so I hope this will be useful to you... um... it might be useful. Consider it my compensation to you."

Minato seemed to be hinting at something, but ultimately didn't say it.

Ranshu looked at the precious ninjutsu scroll in his hand in surprise, never expecting that Minato would give him such a big gift before parting.

Sealing technique?

Could it be... the sealing technique passed down in the Uzumaki family?

I was genuinely moved by Luanxiu's performance this time.

You should know that in the Naruto world, sealing techniques are the most advanced ninjutsu!

It even became, along with medical ninjutsu, an essential development path for transmigrators.

The results are verifiable, okay?!

Ranshu accepted the precious scroll and earnestly said to Minato-sensei:

"loyalty!"

Minato glanced at this interesting disciple and smiled knowingly.

According to information from Jiraiya, Minato's former teacher, Kirigakure may deploy a Tailed Beast-level force this time.

That's why he gave the scroll of the Four Symbols Seal to Ran Xiu as a precaution.

With Ranshu around, Minato can generally rest assured.

Soon, the four members of the Chaotic Show team also left.

Minato stayed with the Third Generation, watching the others leave.

"You trust Ranxiu a lot..."

The Third Hokage said to Minato with a sigh.

"Yes, I believe I haven't misjudged him. I hope the Hokage will have more trust in Ran Shu."

Minato replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

To everyone's surprise, the Third Hokage only glanced at Minato with some surprise, as if he had heard Minato say something incomprehensible.

The three agents should say as appropriate:

"Of course!"

The third generation had stayed up all night spying on Ran Xiu, so he knew very well what kind of person Ran Xiu was.

After saying that, the Third Hokage smoked a cigarette and left with the guards from the Anbu...

Left behind, Minato scratched his head and asked in surprise:

"Has the Hokage had contact with Ran Shu?"

Unable to understand this, Minato then headed to his next mission location.

……

Of the departing teams, Fugaku and Itachi were among those assigned to go to the Land of Earth.

Along the way, Fugaku kept explaining the Sharingan to Itachi.

But Itachi seemed distracted the whole time.

Thinking back to Obito's performance with his three-tomoe Sharingan, he felt that the so-called glory of the Uchiha was nothing more than that.

Finally, Itachi interrupted Fugaku and couldn't help but ask:

"Dad, but that Sharingan-eyed guy just now, he didn't seem to..."

Itachi wisely left his sentence unfinished.

Fugaku heard his son's question and remembered how Obito's disgrace had made the clan lose face.

He was immediately annoyed, and said to Itachi with a sullen expression:

"Useless Uchiha clan members are better off dead!"

Fugaku then indeed stopped talking about the Sharingan for the time being...

However, Itachi had completely memorized those words.

"So, the useless Uchiha clan... is it really okay to just let them die?"

Itachi pondered to himself.
