After Kakashi's social death moment, everyone came back to their senses.
Looking at the surrounding corpses of the Konoha candidates, who were still quite young, only about 9 or 10 years old, Guy couldn't help but clench his fists.
"This... this was just an exam after all... and they... they're even a year younger than me."
Sato Yuki's expression darkened, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
"I was the one who brought them together, thinking we could rely on our numbers to take the scrolls from those three Mist Ninja."
"We're all newly graduated genin, but the difference in strength is... like night and day."
Obito looked at Sato Yuki and reminded her, "There's nothing strange about it. This is the ninja world. There are always monsters that can't be judged by common sense. Remember this lesson."
Sato Yuki nodded, then looked at Obito.
She suddenly thought of a question and couldn't help but ask, "Then... what about you? Are you a monster too?"
She was still holding on to the idea of challenging Obito and defeating him.
"Me?", Obito just smiled.
"My situation is a bit special. I don't fall within the range of normal discussion."
"If you're thinking about challenging me, it'd be more practical to think about how to deal with those other monsters."
Sato Yuki immediately felt dejected.
What Obito meant was clearly that he was even stronger than the monsters.
She suddenly felt that avenging her brother might have already become a luxury.
Obito shook his head.
A ninja with mediocre talent has a hard time catching up to the footsteps of monsters.
Even among monsters, it's hard to catch up to his pace.
Because in the eyes of monsters, he was the real monster.
When one's strength reaches a certain level, just like today, the so-called numerical advantage becomes nothing but a joke.
Ordinary people living in such a world is just despairing.
Even if they unite in resistance, they can be easily suppressed by the strong.
If the ninja system is not eradicated, if ninjas are not eliminated, then this kind of gap cannot be erased.
That's why, whether in his previous life or this one, Obito wanted to make a change.
At this time, Sato Yuki had recognized her own limitations and actually calmed down faster than Guy's team.
She rationally walked up to the corpses of several teammates and began searching.
Not long after, she collected three scrolls still stained with blood and returned.
She looked at Guy and Obito and said, "We had four teams in total, each with a scroll. Two heaven, two earth."
"The Mist Ninja took one heaven scroll. The rest are all here. If you need any, feel free to take them."
Guy looked at one of the earth scrolls, feeling tempted, but more so, a sense of guilt, "But these were left by your teammates."
Sato Yuki forced a smile and tossed the earth scroll to Guy, "Take it. Leaving it for them won't help them advance anyway. It's better to make use of what's left."
Guy took the scroll, feeling a bit at a loss.
He had thought the way to obtain the scrolls would be through fighting powerful enemies and taking them by force.
He hadn't expected that in the end, it would be by stripping them from his companions' corpses.
Obito, on the other hand, didn't have such psychological burdens. He simply said, "We have an earth scroll. We're still short one heaven."
Sato Yuki nodded, then tossed one heaven scroll to Obito.
Obito caught it and naturally handed it to Rin. Seeing this, Rin quickly put the scroll away for safekeeping.
Obito looked at Sato Yuki, "So what about you? What are your plans?"
Sato Yuki gave a bitter smile, raised her hand, and said loudly, "I forfeit."
After saying that, she looked at everyone, "What just happened made me realize the gap between me and you all."
"If everyone in the Chunin Exams is like you, I don't stand a chance."
"So, I forfeit."
Obito nodded, "Indeed. Even those who remain in the end, even if not at our level, are still beyond what you can handle. It's a wise choice."
Not long after, a Konoha examiner appeared. He simply and calmly looked around at the corpses of the candidates and took Sato Yuki away.
Guy couldn't accept it, "Aren't they also Konoha ninjas? You saw what happened, so why just stand by and do nothing?"
Obito said, "Because those are the rules. Besides, we were the ones who struck first. Emotionally and logically, the examiner has no grounds to intervene."
"As for whether you think they're cold and indifferent? Maybe they were once passionate too, but they've just grown numb to life and death."
Guy fell silent.
Seeing this, Obito asked, "What about you guys? What do you plan to do next?"
Guy scratched his head and said, a bit embarrassed.
"Haha, originally we were planning to find you and take your scrolls."
"But now we don't need to anymore. We'll head to the central tower right away."
Obito had a head full of black lines. No wonder in the previous life, they ran into Guy's team and fought.
So it wasn't just some coincidence.
He asked, "Was it because of Kakashi?"
Guy nodded and looked at Kakashi, "Kakashi, I've always wanted to fight you in an official match."
"That move just now. You saw it, right? It was actually prepared for you."
Kakashi instantly broke into a cold sweat.
Just now, Guy had erupted in a burst of green light, his whole body full of vitality and strength.
He had already heard from Obito before that this was the Eight Gates Technique, which surpasses one's limits.
Especially if the Eighth Gate is opened, one can obtain strength dozens of times greater than a Kage, nearly kicking even a so-called Six Paths-level powerhouse to death.
'And this move... Was meant for me?'
He didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
Still, Kakashi, confident that the Water Release just now was something he could handle, lazily said, "Then we'll see each other in the finals."
Guy nodded, said his goodbyes, and left with Genma Shiranui and Ebisu.
Watching them leave, Obito couldn't help but comment, "So in the previous life, they really were coming for Kakashi?"
Rin asked curiously, "Obito, in our previous life, did we fight Guy's team?"
Obito grunted in acknowledgment, a bit embarrassed, "I remember at that time, I helped an old grandpa, or maybe it was an old grandma, and they gave me a lollipop. I had it in my mouth."
"In the end, during the battle, because of that lollipop, my Great Fireball didn't come out, and I almost got kicked unconscious by Guy."
Kakashi, hands in his pockets, turned away, "Seriously, if not for Rin, you're just a complete idiot."
Obito retorted irritably, "Kakashi, without Rin, you're just a total good-for-nothing."
"Idiot!"
"Trash!"
The two argued back and forth. Rin, seeing this, could only say helplessly, "Alright, stop fighting already!"
"What do we do now? We've got both scrolls. Should we head to the central tower too?"
Obito thought for a moment. Seemed like there was nothing else worth checking out, so he said, "Let's just go straight to the tower."
Kakashi had no objections. The three returned to their original camp, packed their things, and headed toward the central tower...
