"I'll take that as your agreement, then..."

"Let me show you the prowess of the Uchiha clan's genius!!"

Seeing Yu's lack of reaction, Obito, standing on the steps at the entrance of the Konoha Ninja Hospital, smirked cunningly. He leaped high into the air and charged straight at Yu, who was standing in place.

"Obito! Don't do this!"

Witnessing Obito's reckless move, Rin, who was beside him, exclaimed, but it was already too late to stop him.

"Is this guy really one of the final bosses who will spark the Fourth Great Ninja War in the future?"

Watching Obito, who was shouting like a lunatic and charging straight at him, Yu couldn't help but feel a bit bewildered. It's like they say, a bad guy turning good does nothing, and a good guy turning bad is a complete disaster.

Before turning dark, Obito was a loser even more pathetic than the main character Naruto. However, after turning dark, Obito transformed into the ultimate boss who could deceive and defeat the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

Controlling the Akatsuki organization, manipulating Yahiko and Nagato.

Controlling the Fourth Mizukage, creating a high-pressure situation in Kirigakure.

Releasing the Nine-Tails to invade Konoha, orchestrating the demise of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki.

Capturing the Tailed Beasts and declaring war on the entire ninja world.

Engaging in a game with the Sage of the Six Paths, becoming the world's second Jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails, temporarily becoming the strongest force in the ninja world.

Yu couldn't understand why the same person could have such a vast difference in actions.

"Boom!"

In the blink of an eye, facing Obito rushing towards him, Yu stood firmly in place, grabbing the fist that Obito swung at him.

Konoha Whirlwind!

With Obito's captured arm as the center, Yu soared into the air in an instant.

Twisting his body sharply, his fierce kick broke through the air, sending Obito flying away with a single kick.

After experiencing the brutal battle yesterday, dealing with a soft-shelled shrimp like Obito at this level now felt like a leisurely pastime to Yu.

So fast! Originally intending to intervene and stop Obito, upon witnessing Yu's swift and fierce Taijutsu, Kakashi, who was wearing a mask beside him, had a gleam of excitement in his eyes.

"Boom!"

A cloud of white smoke rose as Obito, kicked away by Yu, instantly transformed into a wooden post.

"Haha! You fell for it!"

"Uchiha Style: Obito's Continuous Volley!!"

At the same time, along with Obito's triumphant voice, his figure had already appeared in the airspace behind Yu. A swift front flip, and the heel of his right foot came crashing down towards the back of Yu's head!

Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

"Yu! Be careful!"

Seeing this scene, Uzuki Yugao couldn't help but speak up to warn Yu.

"Lightning Release: Chidori Stream!!"

However, just as Uzuki Yugao started to warn, Yu, without even turning his head, suddenly spread his hands wide open. A tremendously fierce sound of electrical currents erupted, and a dazzling blue-white electric stream filled the air in front of everyone.

Obito, on the brink of victory, suddenly felt a piercing and numbing sensation all over his body. He was instantly knocked to the ground, immobilized by the incredibly powerful electric current emanating from Yu.

"Obito!!"

Seeing Obito defeated by Yu in the blink of an eye, Rin rushed over.

"That Lightning Release Ninjutsu just now?!"

Meanwhile, Kakashi's eyes widened, his mind occupied by the splendid Lightning Release Ninjutsu that Yu had just executed.

As a genius Ninja who developed the A-rank Ninjutsu Chidori at the age of twelve in the original story, Kakashi seemed naturally drawn to the Lightning Release: Chidori Stream that Yu used.

"Compared to Shisui..."

"Why is there such a huge gap between you two, both being Uchiha clan members?"

Looking at the scorched and tender Obito lying in front of him, Yu's tone carried a hint of disdain and helplessness.

"Let's go."

With that, Yu directly stepped over Obito's body and left with pride.

Standing beside them, Uzuki Yugao and Kurenai mourned for Obito on the ground for a moment, then swiftly followed in the direction Yu departed.

"Darn it... come back!"

"I haven't lost yet!"

Obito, lying on the ground, continued to roar in frustration.

"Give it up"

"Even if you train for another ten years, you won't stand a chance against that guy."

However, Kakashi's words at that moment were like a bucket of cold water, ruthlessly extinguishing Obito's determination.

"The nature transformation and shape transformation at that level... even some Jonin might struggle to achieve it."

Watching Yu disappear into the distance at the end of the road, Kakashi's words were harsh but realistic.

"Even the genius Kakashi says that..."

"It seems that Yakushi Yu is truly an exceptional individual..."

Hearing Kakashi's words, Rin felt a bit sorry for Obito, but recalling Yu's splendid ninjutsu and astonishing skills just now, she couldn't help but be deeply impressed.

...

Konoha, Hokage's office.

"I've already heard about yesterday's incident from Minato," Lord Third, sitting behind the Hokage's desk with a smoking pipe in his mouth, looked at Yu with a somewhat complicated expression. "Killing the Mist Village's Jonin, dealing with dozens of elite Mist Ninjas... And you're only six years old. Has your strength reached such a level?"

"It's just luck..." Feeling the gaze of Lord Third as if he were looking at a supernatural being, Yu awkwardly scratched his nose and humbly said, "If Minato-sensei hadn't arrived in time, we might not have been so lucky."

"Hmm... Although the sacrifice of Might Dai is very regrettable..."

"But no matter what, seeing you and the other children come back safely, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

Lord Third was satisfied to see that Yu didn't become arrogant due to his extraordinary strength. As a ninja who had trained legendary figures, Lord Third had witnessed many talented individuals who, due to their innate abilities, became swollen with pride, only to meet an untimely end before reaching their full potential.

After three months of interaction, Lord Third found himself increasingly appreciating Yu, this young prodigy. Despite the busy affairs, Lord Third had limited opportunities to personally guide Yu, but he recognized Yu's innate talent for Ninjutsu.

Not only that, but Yu would often come up with imaginative and unique ideas, frequently providing inspiration.

"I called you here today for two main reasons," Lord Third, exhaling white smoke, said while looking at the white-haired youth with wise eyes, breaking the silence. "The first matter is that this year's Chunin Exams are about to begin."

Chunin Exams? Hearing this, Yu was momentarily stunned. In the midst of the Third Great Ninja War, how could Konoha still be holding Chunin Exams as usual?

"This is a necessary measure," Lord Third continued. "Despite the wartime circumstances, maintaining the image and prestige of being the foremost village in the ninja world is crucial."

Seeing the perplexity in Yu's expression, Lord Third took a light drag on his pipe and spoke through the white smoke to explain.

"The Daimyo of the Land of Fire and the Konoha leadership unanimously decided that this year's Chunin Exams will proceed as scheduled."
