I Can Become Stronger Just By Teaching

Chapter 60: The Somewhat Redundant Nohara Rin

Chapter 60: The Somewhat Redundant Nohara Rin

"What do you mean by that?! I ranked third in the actual competition last grade!"

Obito saw that Kakashi's impression of him was still that he had not studied with Makoto. Before, I directly revealed my last test results.

Kakashi was stunned for a moment.

"I really don't know if the third place is considered a genius, because I have always been first, and I don't know what it is like to be third."

Obito opened his mouth and found that he could not refute because this was a fact. Kakashi had absolute dominance in the school and was always number one.

"By the way, did you also rank third in the theory test?" Kakashi added nonchalantly. "I happened to rank first in that too."

Obito felt like he had been shot in the heart. Theory was always a pain he couldn't get rid of from his heart. Not to mention the third place, he barely passed, and even this is thanks to Makoto's tutoring.

"Although his theoretical score was far from impressive when confronted by Kakashi, Obito stubbornly insisted:

"I didn't sleep well the day before the last theoretical exam, and my score was only slightly worse compared to the combat exam. But this time, it's going to be different, I promise!"

"Only slightly worse? It wasn't even a passing grade," Kakashi, who knew Obito well, remarked deliberately.

As expected, Obito immediately became defensive.

"No, I did pass the exam!" Obito retorted, clearly excited to claim his first passing grade.

"Passing is just a little worse than coming in third place. You're setting the bar a bit low," Kakashi couldn't help but wear a smile as he said this.

Obito was silent. If he could become Hokage, he would definitely issue an order to abolish the theory examination of the ninja school. It is too torturous.

"Obito has been working very hard recently. I see that he is studying every day, and his grades in the final exam may improve by leaps and bounds." Nohara Rin spoke for Obito.

Obito, who was originally a little depressed, instantly recovered and felt that the world was so beautiful.

"No, Gai and Shisui are exercising, and I'm wasting time arguing with Kakashi?" Obito suddenly thought of a question.

Might Gai will definitely become stronger than him. By then, he will have more problems to solve and will have no time to play with Nohara Rin.

"If you play with Rin, you will have to do more questions. If you do more questions, you will have no time to play with Rin. Therefore, if you play with Rin, you will have no time to play with Rin." Obito came up with such a strange logical chain in his mind.

Obito didn't understand why Might Gai and Shisui would exercise together at night.

One of these two people is of his own clan and the other is his classmate. Why does he feel like an outsider?

Obito recalled it and found that he seemed to be invited, but he wanted to go and play with Rin, so he refused.

Obito was very entangled at this time, thinking about how to solve this problem. Then he saw Kakashi, and an idea came to his mind.

No matter how hard he refused to admit it or how hard he spoke, Obito was sure in his heart that Kakashi was really powerful.

He graduated at the age of five and became a chuunin at the age of six. Literally, when they were still in the second grade of the ninja school, Kakashi had been promoted to chuunin, the same level as the school teachers.

If he could learn something from Kakashi, he might be able to gain an advantage in the battle with Might Gai.

"Kakashi, what if your opponent's faster and stronger? How do you handle that?" Obito inquired.

"Create some space and rely on ninjutsu," Kakashi suggested.

"Let's stick to pure Taijutsu," Obito added, setting a condition.

"Why not use ninjutsu if I know it?" Kakashi replied, refusing to back down.

Obito scratched his head and thought, "This Kakashi, what a pain."

"Because I nearly ran out of chakra at that time, and I couldn't use ninjutsu," Obito explained after a moment of contemplation.

"Then let's go head-to-head."

"But, why? We're slower and weaker, how can we fight head-on?" Obito was perplexed.

"It'll make your death more heroic. Don't you need chakra for taijutsu?" Kakashi responded bluntly.

Obito was starting to question Kakashi's sanity. This guy never played by the rules.

With a hint of amusement, Kakashi continued, "If you're physically outmatched, focus on your Taijutsu skills and technique. A battle is about hitting your opponent and avoiding being hit. If you can't land a blow, your agility will help you dodge, and mastering superior techniques can compensate for your lack of strength when you strike."

Obito pondered, feeling like he'd heard similar advice from Makoto before.

"Are you entering some competition where taijutsu is the only option? Is there someone better than you?" Kakashi speculated.

"Not a competition, it's the combat test. Both my rivals excel in taijutsu," Obito replied but didn't reveal the full truth. He suspected that if Kakashi knew it was a penalty battle, he might not be as eager to help.

"If you genuinely want to improve your taijutsu, I'm willing to help. But I doubt you can endure the hardship," Kakashi remarked.

"Obito Uchiha is not afraid of suffering!"

Obito grinned, thinking, 'What's the worst that can happen compared to answering hundreds of questions? That suffering tops yours, Kakashi.'

Kakashi then led them to a nearby training ground.

"I'll fight you without using ninjutsu, and I won't hold back. Are you sure you want to go through with this training?" Kakashi finally confirmed.

"Use all your strength," Obito responded indifferently. He wanted to assess Kakashi's skill. Kakashi was known for his ninjutsu, so in a pure taijutsu duel, Obito expected the gap wouldn't be too wide.

"Alright, here we go." Kakashi obliged, ready to fulfill Obito's request.

In the next moment, Kakashi used a teleportation technique to appear right in front of Obito, swiftly kicking him before he could react.

Obito, who had been looking at Nohara Rin, was taken aback. He dusted himself off and said, "My mistake, didn't dodge in time. Let's continue."

Minutes later, Obito was covered in dust and had shoeprints all over him. Despite falling multiple times per minute, he kept getting up with a nonchalant smile, calling for more.

Nohara Rin watched them with a mix of concern and confusion. She wondered if she was even needed here.
