When they stepped back onto the field, the massive field that had been packed with people was now mostly empty.
At this time, apart from the students leaving the school building and some parents waiting outside, there were almost no other people left. The vast majority of children and their parents who had been eliminated had already left, leaving only a particularly stubborn father and son, the Might Guy and Might Dai duo.
Therefore, when Chen Yue arrived at the field and met up with the other Uchiha, the first thing he saw was the two highly distinctive figures.
However, when Chen Yue saw the two, Might Guy and Might Dai were already leaving.
Clearly, because unlike the original Ninja School, there were no vacancies, so even though the father and son were stubborn, they weren't going to stay here anymore.
After all, even if they didn't pass the Ninja School's assessment, they still had the four branch schools as a fallback option.
“That guy's actually leaving now, he really won't accept reality.”
A boy called Uchiha Ryu Huo beside Chen Yue also saw the Might Guy and Might Dai leaving.
It seems that they had encountered them earlier while checking the class placement information.
With Might Guy and Might Dai's ultra-obvious characteristics—not their appearance, but their self-absorbed ‘youthfulness’, once you've met them, it's obvious that most people can't forget them for a short time.
“I met him too, it seems he didn't pass the assessment, and he just refuses to believe it, right?”
“Right, he even cried, and his father, too, he even cried along with him.”
…
The other Uchiha who had also encountered Might Guy and Might Dai began to complain as they heard this.
“Okay, now that everyone's here, let's go home.”
Chen Yue cut off their complaining to avoid these people being slapped in the face in the future.
As for why go home, don't they need to buy textbooks?
Come on, this kind of thing, the clan has already prepared it.
“Everyone's here? Someone's missing.”
Hearing Chen Yue's words, everyone stopped complaining about Might Guy and Might Dai, but after counting the number of people, someone discovered that one was missing.
“It's Obito, Obito's not here.”
An Uchiha quickly realized who was absent.
“Did he not finish school yet? By the way, who knows which class Obito was assigned to, he wasn't in my class.”
“He's not in our class either.”
The ten Uchiha were ultimately dispersed into seven classes, three classes had two Uchiha, and four Uchiha were in single-member classes.
“He's in Class One, with Master Chen Yue.”
Before Chen Yue could answer, Uchiha Yan, who also knew the answer, was the first to explain.
“Obito's so lucky, darn it, why wasn't it me?”
Upon hearing this, one Uchiha began to envy Obito for the first time.
However, they soon realized that since Obito was in the same class as Chen Yue, why was Chen Yue already here and Obito wasn't?
“Obito left early on his own business.”
Chen Yue explained casually, as soon as school was dismissed, he saw Uchiha Obito with a thick face following Hyuga Rin and the others to South Street to buy textbooks.
“What?”
The other Uchiha were unhappy with Obito's unsociable behavior, especially Uchiha Yan, he thought the other was still angry about what happened before, and he couldn't help but mutter: “That guy is really annoying.”
“Don't say that, wasn't it your fault?”
Hearing her brother's words, Uchiha Yan couldn't help but scold him.
However, Yan also felt dissatisfied with Obito in her heart, because in her opinion, this kind of behavior was challenging Master Chen Yue's authority.
Not to mention Master Chen Yue's direct bloodline status, before they left today, the clan had also designated Master Chen Yue to lead this group.
However, Yan was overthinking this, Chen Yue didn't care, and besides…
“Obito has his own things to do, it's okay that he didn't come to the gathering, you guys will do the same in the future, everyone's dismissal time is different, you may all have your own things to do, so from today onwards, whether it's going to school or leaving school, you guys don't need to gather together anymore.”
Chen Yue wasn't very willing to have a bunch of Uchiha following him around at school, although it looked pretty cool, it would affect him interacting with people outside the Uchiha, which was against his original plan to make allies.
After all, a bunch of Uchiha gathered together naturally made it difficult for others to approach.
Besides, the other Uchiha also needed their own time, they also needed to get to know other classmates.
After explaining Obito's situation, the group of Uchiha headed towards home.
In another direction, on the road to the south gate of the campus, Kakashi and Hatake Sakumo were walking together.
“So that's how it is, it seems like it's just as I said, Kakashi, you're going to have a great opponent.”
After listening to his son's recounting of Chen Yue's dream in the classroom, Hatake Sakumo was even more certain of his initial hunch.
“Maybe.”
Before actually fighting, Kakashi didn't fully believe it either.
“Speaking of which, I found another kid who might become a strong opponent for you, Kakashi in the future.”
Hatake Sakumo thought of the boy who had lingered in front of the nameplate list and said, “It's the boy who was crying in front of the nameplate list before.”
“Ha, the boy who didn't pass the entrance exam?”
Kakashi looked at his father with a confused expression, completely unaware of why he would say such a thing.
“You can't underestimate someone just because they didn't pass the entrance exam, and don't be arrogant just because you got into the Ninja School. I saw strength and hard work in that kid, I don't think he'll just fade into obscurity.”
“Really?”
Although his father seemed to be proving his insight with Uchiha Chen Yue, someone who couldn't even pass the entrance exam?
“Haha, then Kakashi, let's wait and see.”
Hatake Sakumo smiled, not minding at all.
