The effects of the anesthesia were gradually fading, and Obito felt that he had had a very comfortable sleep, and when he woke up, he was still lying on Orochimaru's operating table.
The difference was that he felt the presence of his right arm again.
Orochimaru was brewing some reagent on the side. Obito tried to sit up and looked at his right arm carefully. Different from the arm when he was with Madara, this arm gave him a feeling of power.
"Don't move." Orochimaru said at this time, then turned around and handed him the test tube filled with green liquid.
"Drink."
"..." Obito looked at the green liquid in the test tube and felt it was very strange, but he still gritted his teeth and raised his head and poured it into his mouth.
It's not bitter and has no taste, except for being a little thick.
Obito breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Hokage-sama, how am I doing?"
Orochimaru said: "Why, can't you feel it?"
Hearing this, Obito looked at his arms again and clenched his fists tightly.
"My arm..."
"Don't worry, it will be better than your original arm."
Only then did Obito's hanging heart drop, and he felt a burst of joy at the same time. He waved his fist vigorously, and he was like a tiger.
He asked again: "Can I continue to practice as before and continue to be a ninja?"
Orochimaru asked: "Who stopped you from becoming a ninja?"
Obito laughed naively, scratched his head, got off the operating table, and bowed deeply to Orochimaru.
"Thank you, Hokage-sama!"
Orochimaru laughed lightly and handed him a roll of bandages and a scroll.
"Obito, you are special, use this arm well, and don't let me live up to the painstaking efforts I have put into you."
Obito opened the scroll and took a look, and found that what was recorded inside was actually some secret techniques of wood escape.
He was surprised and confused: "This..."
Orochimaru said: "This is my extra gift."
Obito came out of Orochimaru's research institute. The freshman's right arm was already wrapped with a bandage, so it didn't look so out of place. He followed Kakashi's example and wore his forehead protector diagonally to cover his empty left eye.
.
Putting all the unclear things behind him, Obito happily ran to find Lin and Kakashi.
The three of them came to the Ichiraku Ramen shop for a dinner, and Obito said that he wanted to celebrate his recovery.
They had been here once just after Obito returned to the village, and Tata also saw the boy who survived the catastrophe, but the last time they came, Obito was still one-armed.
"Now we can perform missions together again." Lin said with a chuckle.
"I will apply to Hokage-sama later to go to the front line," Obito said.
"Obito, the battle on the front line is over, and Minato-sensei will be back soon," Lin said.
"Really?" Obito scratched his head. He hadn't paid attention to this matter in the past few days.
Kakashi was silent on the side, eating ramen quietly.
"Kakashi, why don't you speak?" Obito asked him.
He rolled his eyes, then smiled and said: "Kakashi, do you have a sense of crisis? Are you afraid that I will surpass you soon?"
Kakashi looked calm: "You guys should find another teammate."
Obito and Lin were both stunned.
Obito couldn't help but asked: "Kakashi, what do you mean?"
Kakashi said calmly: "I'm going to join the ANBU, and I won't go on missions with you in the future."
Obito and Lin looked at each other.
Obito asked strangely: "Kakashi, why do you suddenly want to enter a place like that?"
Kakashi just said: "Anbu is a very training place, I want to become stronger."
He then said to Obito: "Obito, if you want to protect the people around you, you should also work hard to become stronger. You can't do anything now."
Obito was immediately angry: "You don't need to teach me about this kind of thing, I know it myself!"
Originally, he was looking forward to fighting side by side with Kakashi in the future. Their Sharingan would definitely make them famous. He even imagined that his and Kakashi's future names should be as loud and handsome as Minato-sensei.
, but Kakashi's sudden joining of the ANBU instantly shattered his longing.
"Kakashi, does Minato-sensei know that you joined the ANBU?" Lin asked hesitantly at this time.
"This is my own idea and has nothing to do with Teacher Minato." Kakashi just said, "I am already a Jonin and know what I am doing."
"Otherwise, Kakashi, you should wait until Minato-sensei comes back..."
"I told you this has nothing to do with Minato-sensei."
Lin wanted to persuade Kakashi again, but was ruthlessly interrupted by him.
Obito was a little angry: "What kind of attitude do you have! Isn't Lin thinking about you too?"
Kakashi said: "Obito, if you want to preach to me, you should first become a jounin."
Kakashi left alone, and Obito said angrily from his seat: "Did this guy take the wrong medicine?"
Lin looked at Kakashi's back with a worried expression. Her intuition was that Kakashi seemed to have encountered something and chose to face it alone.
Although Obito looked angry, he was still thinking about what Kakashi just said.
Become stronger……
Does Kakashi think that he is too weak? Can he, who is weaker than him, protect Lin well?
Obito felt that he could understand Kakashi. Perhaps many things that happened recently had stimulated Kakashi.
He looked down at his bandaged right arm and clenched his fist hard.
Become stronger! Become stronger!

Kakashi came to the office of the Hokage Building.
This is the time when the official affairs of the village are really being dealt with.
"I'll report it."
Zhen raised his head, glanced at it, and said, "Fire Gate."
A ninja dressed as an ANBU suddenly appeared in the office.
Zhen said to Kakashi: "Just follow Huomen and report."
Kakashi nodded, and then left with the ANBU.
The two of them went all the way downstairs and arrived at a room on the second floor.
"Fire Gate."
It was like a lounge, with only three people here, and these people took the initiative to say hello when they came in.
Kamon took off his mask, revealing a face that was about the same age as Kakashi.
"This is the new member Hatake Kakashi, the new member that Shin-sama has incorporated into our class.
Only then did Kakashi realize that the people in front of him were all members of the Hyuga family, and every pair of eyes had a white eye.
"This is the famous Kakashi." Someone said, and everyone's eyes were focused on Kakashi, looking at him constantly.
The fire door opened a locker next to it and took out a uniform and mask.
"Your establishment has been registered a long time ago, and these have been prepared for you in advance."
Huomen introduced him to the three people present, and then said that there were twelve people in their class plus Kakashi. Some of them were with the Hokage, and some were on duty inside the Hokage building.
Except for Kakashi, all of these twelve people are from the Hyuga family.
Kakashi felt a little incredible, this ANBU class seemed a little special.
Huomen said at this time: "Our class is a little special. It is different from other ANBU classes. We don't need any code names. We just call each other by our first names."
Kakashi pondered for a while and asked the first question: "What are our daily tasks?"
Huomen said: "The tasks are personally assigned by Shin-sama and Hokage-sama. When there are no tasks, they are their respective personal guards. The twelve people will take turns."
Personal bodyguard...
Huomen smiled and said: "Why, are you a little disappointed?"
Kakashi did not deny it and nodded: "I thought the work of ANBU was far more dangerous than that of ordinary ninjas."
At this time, the Hyuga clan members on the side laughed out loud: "What are you in a hurry? This wish of yours will satisfy you."
Kamon then said: "When I'm with Master Zhen, there's nothing else to do except run errands and send messages, but if I'm with Master Hokage... in short, there will be all the dangers you want."
