"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"
Kakashi's hands swiftly changed their signs, and under the influence of Earth Attribute Chakra, an earth wall rose from the ground, with a dog head resembling Rockruff carved in the middle.
"Rock!"
Seeing this, Rockruff barked excitedly, jumped onto the wall, stood on the big dog head, and then leaped onto Kakashi.
"Don't play just yet, try it the way I just showed you." Kakashi said, grabbing Rockruff and placing it back on the ground.
Rockruff scratched its head with its paw, trying hard to imitate Kakashi's actions, but its paws couldn't form the seals properly, and nothing happened.
Kakashi showed a thoughtful expression; it seemed like using Ninjutsu was a bit difficult for Rockruff.
After a few more tries, Kakashi thought of the hard stones on Rockruff's neck.
"You don't need to learn to use Ninjutsu like me; see if you can use Chakra to move the stones on your body," Kakashi suggested.
Whizz whizz whizz!!
As soon as Kakashi finished speaking, the stones on Rockruff's neck flew out swiftly like shurikens, embedding themselves in the large tree in front of Rockruff.
"Those stones aren't simple after all, huh?" Kakashi hadn't expected Rockruff to succeed in one go.
Given the power of Rockruff's flying stones just then, it wouldn't be hard to take down a Genin by surprise.
However, what Rockruff did next made Kakashi realize it wasn't ready for combat yet.
Rockruff couldn't control the direction of the stones properly, so it just threw them randomly and appeared exhausted after a few throws.
Kakashi sat on the ground, gently patting the tired Rockruff to comfort it, when a voice full of youth and enthusiasm came through.
"If you can't make it past the finish line in time, you'll have to run a hundred more times!"
Might Guy was enthusiastically racing against Riolu.
Might Guy was leading, with Riolu gritting its teeth and chasing after him.
Whoosh!
As the distance between them grew, Riolu suddenly burst forth, moving at high speed for a short distance before returning to normal speed.
"Instant Body Jutsu?" Kakashi thought that Might Guy's summoned beast probably had its talents in Taijutsu.
Riolu possessed visibly strong stamina and impressive perseverance, and now it had mastered a technique similar to Instant Body Jutsu, making it a natural fit for Taijutsu training.
"Rin, don't envy them. In most ninja stories, the characters who appear later are usually stronger. Our Ninja Beast will definitely be more powerful once hatched," Obito said, noticing Nohara Rin watching Rockruff and Riolu.
'Nohara Rin' gave Obito a strange look.
"Obito, I'm not envious, and I'm right here." Nohara Rin said, chuckling while holding a Pokemon Egg.
Obito was stunned for a moment, then quickly looked around him again. Nohara Rin's figure had disappeared, leaving only a mischievous red-haired fox.
"It's so rude; my name isn't Rin." Zorua said, holding its head up proudly.
Obito's fists clenched.
This naturally mischievous red-haired fox dared to embarrass him in front of Rin, it was flirting with disaster.
"I wanted you to practice Genjutsu, not to play pranks on people." Shisui said helplessly as he picked Zorua up by the scruff of its neck, looking into its light blue eyes.
"Oh, is this called a prank? Zorua didn't know that." Zorua said coyly with big eyes.
It was just a baby born a few days ago; handling complex things was beyond it.
Shisui stared at Zorua for half a minute before finally putting it down. Expecting a two-week-old child to understand was asking too much.
"Go on, pretend all you want; the foxes in ninja stories are never any good, each one more deceitful than the last." Obito said, expressing disbelief.
A flash of dark red light occurred, and suddenly, Nohara Rin appeared in front of Obito again, hands on hips, looking displeased, "You're the one who's no good."
Seeing a side of Nohara Rin he had never seen before startled Obito; it was surprisingly cute even when angry. If it were coming from the real Nohara Rin, Obito thought he might not even mind such words.
Obito quickly cleared his mind to dispel the Genjutsu; this red-haired fox shouldn't be underestimated.
"Better work on your physical strength first." Shisui finally said, separating Zorua from Obito and the others a bit.
Although it's unclear who taught it, Zorua indeed had a knack for mischief or pranks.
Not just pranking people, Zorua even tried to trick Rockruff and Riolu.
But it didn't succeed; Rockruff smelled Zorua's scent, and Riolu detected it even faster, although Shisui couldn't figure out the reason.
"When will you hatch?" Obito sighed, holding the Pokemon Egg.
Seeing Kakashi's Ninja Beasts already training and possessing some combat capabilities made Obito anxious.
He had started slower, finding it hard to hold his head high in front of Kakashi for a long time, and he didn't want his Ninja Beast to follow his old path.
As if hearing Obito's inner voice, the Pokemon Egg in his arms suddenly burst with bright white light, enveloping all of Obito's body.
Obito's initial disappointment was instantly replaced with joy; finally, his Ninja Beast Egg was hatching.
"Sage Mokgetsu bless, let it be a strong and cool Ninja Beast." Obito silently prayed for Sage Mokgetsu's blessing.
At this moment, the Ninja Beast Egg in Nohara Rin's hand also suddenly burst into a bright light.
The sudden burst of two beams of light caught everyone's attention.
"Rin's Ninja Beast Egg hatched so quickly?" Kakashi was a bit surprised.
It was quite expected for Obito's egg to hatch as it had been around for some time, but Nohara Rin's egg was just recently acquired, making it the fastest hatching among the disciples.
