Naruto : Minato back to the past

One year later

Today is the day of the Ninja School graduation exam.

In the classroom at the corner of the first floor, gathered all the candidates taking the graduation examination today.

After passing the exam, they will all become true ninjas.

However, everyone's mood was mixed with joy and sorrow at this time. After all, whether they could pass the exam successfully was still an issue.

Among the many students, there was one who stood out. He looked much younger than all the other candidates.

Because he covered almost half of his face with a black mask, no one could see his expression clearly.

"What's wrong with that kid!?"

"Letting him take the final exam with us, what a joke."

"Will he graduate successfully?"

There were frequent discussions about him, but Kakashi closed his eyes, as if he was deaf to them.

"Unqualified!"

As the examiner's voice fell, a student on the examination table suddenly looked dejected.

"Next, Hatake Kakashi."

The examiner took a look at the list and shouted again. At this time, Kakashi on his seat suddenly opened his eyes, stood up and walked towards the examination table.

He passed by the failed candidate, and when he walked into the examination room, everyone's eyes were focused on him.

Most people were full of doubts about him, after all, Kakashi is only five years old this year.

Five years old is the age for ordinary people to enter the Ninja School. In the history of the Ninja School, no one has ever taken the graduation exam at this age.

But Kakashi was the candidate personally nominated by Hiruzen.

"Let's get started."

The examiner glanced at Kakashi and then spoke.

Today's exam topic is, Clone Technique!

Kakashi heard this, his expression calm, and his hands quickly and skillfully formed several hand seals.

"Bang bang!"

As the smoke cleared, two identical Kakashis appeared beside him, with the same movements and expressions.

All the students and examiners were shocked when they saw this.

Because being able to create one normal clone is considered qualified, and being able to create two clones is considered excellent.

Considering Kakashi's age, this achievement is already amazing enough.

However, when Kakashi's two clones appeared, they began to make hand seals again like the original.

So, he created two clones, and five Kakashis stood in front of the examiner.

Everyone's eyes widened at this moment, except Kakashi who spat softly: "Is this is?"

"Qualified!"

Following the examiner's shocked cry, Kakashi also released the clone jutsu, took the Konoha forehead protector from the examiner, ignored everyone's gaze, and walked out.

During lunch break, at the Ninja School training ground.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Obito fired several wooden ninja tools in succession. These ninja tools were nailed to the wooden stakes, but the depths of their positions varied.

Just when he was about to pull out these ninja tools and continue his training, Rin ran over.

Hearing the noise, Obito glanced to the side, and when he saw the excited expression on her face, he subconsciously pursed his lips.

"The exam is over!" Rin said excitedly to Obito.

Obito curled his lips and said, "Did Kakashi fail?"

The news that five-year-old Kakashi was taking the graduation exam spread throughout the entire ninja school, and all the teachers and students were paying attention to it.

Rin shook her head and said excitedly, "Kakashi succeeded and graduated with first place!"

Obito was slightly startled when he heard this, then he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists consciously.

Rin didn't notice this and continued, "Kakashi is leaving the Ninja School tomorrow, and everyone is thinking about how to celebrate for him. You can come too!"

"First place." Obito muttered to himself.

"Obito." Rin finally noticed that something was wrong with him and wanted to speak.

Obito suddenly turned around and ran into the classroom with a struggled look on his young face.

In the evening, at the gate of Ninja School.

Kakashi, who originally planned to go home directly, was intercepted by Guy, Rin and others, and was forced to celebrate today's graduation exam.

Obito had just walked out of the school gate, saw this scene, and ran out quickly.

"Obito." When everyone saw this, they wanted to call out to Obito, but he turned a deaf ear to them and immediately disappeared from everyone's sight.

Konoha, back mountain.

"Hoohoo!"

The sound of heavy breathing continued to echo in this quiet forest. Obito kept repeating a set of physical exercises, sweating profusely.

His body began to feel heavy, but he refused to stop.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, his eyes twitched, and then said: "Have you forgotten what I told you? Training requires effort, but the process of increasing strength needs to be gradual. Forcing yourself is not a wise choice."

Obito raised his eyes, glanced at the person in front of him, and then continued to practice, saying: "But I no longer have time to progress step by step, and I am also stupid and don't know what choice is wise!"

Seeing Obito's uncharacteristic behavior, Minato frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and guessed the reason.

"Is it because of Kakashi's graduation today?" Minato asked.

Obito heard this and his movements slowed down for a moment, then he looked at Minato and said, "This guy really caused a sensation when he graduated. Even Senior Minato and the jonin of the village knew about it."

Kakashi graduated from the Ninja School at the age of five, which indeed caused a great sensation. His achievement was regarded as a unique genius since the establishment of the Ninja School.

Although this is only the evaluation of some senseis, it is enough to show that Kakashi's achievements are amazing.

When Minato saw the unwilling look in Obito's eyes, he sighed helplessly.

The fate between these two people has not changed even now.

He knew Obito's temper. At this moment, no matter what he said, he would obey. So he left some food for Obito and went home.

Swish!

Minato appeared directly in the bedroom, ready to change his clothes.

In the afternoon, after he heard that Kakashi had graduated successfully, Kushina came to him and said that she would help Kakashi celebrate in the evening.

She think she should be preparing gifts at this time. After all, Kakashi grew up under Kushina's care.

Minato didn't intend to prepare anything because he knew very well that this was not what Kakashi needed.

Just as he opened the bedroom closet, he suddenly felt his heart contract and his whole body trembled violently, as if he could hear the sound of his heart beating.

"Boom!"

There was a loud boom throughout the world, but no one could hear it.

Except for MInato at this moment.

"What's that sound!?"

In Minato's mind, Adult Minato was suddenly shocked, and he was not the only one affected at this time.

In the deepest part of Minato's soul, the Nine-Tailed Fox, which had become extremely weak, suddenly opened its eyes and said in surprise.

"What on earth is going on with this feeling!?"

Its sound fell into Minato's ears, and he couldn't help but be startled.

Because from the Nine-Tailed Fox's surprised voice, Minato actually heard a hint of fear!
