Chapter 1245 - Chapter 609: Captain Obito Appears

Obito snatched the bell twice, once from Mokgetsu and once from Namikaze Minato.

He thought it was a training suitable for getting to know each other, and definitely not because he wanted to experience that feeling Mokgetsu had.

"Snatching the bell, huh? Is there any reward for getting it?" Anko's eyes lit up as she asked.

When she interned with Mokgetsu, she also snatched the bell, and the reward was a high-level ninjutsu or taijutsu.

"Reward? If you want a reward, then there must be a punishment. If you don't get the bell, you have to complete a test paper." Obito replied after thinking for a moment.

Anko: ???

Anko looked at Obito as if facing a great enemy; did this person just say something extremely terrifying?

She had graduated and became a Chunin, yet the test paper was still chasing after her; she definitely didn't want this!

"I think the matter of rewards isn't necessary. Cultivation is something every ninja should do." Anko said with a serious expression.

"Alright, then let's set the reward as no reward, and the punishment will be doing a test paper." Obito said, unable to hold back his laughter.

Anko was shocked, can it be played like this?

Looking at Anko's expression, Obito seemed to see himself facing a pile of test papers just after finishing training; perhaps this is inheritance.

As Mokgetsu's strongest disciple, he has the obligation to pass down Teacher Mokgetsu's secret teaching techniques.

"If you guys can snatch the bell within today, I can teach you a ninjutsu or taijutsu. I will teach Fire Release, and for other ninjutsu or taijutsu, I can find someone to teach you." Obito added.

After all, as the students of Teacher Mokgetsu, there's no way he wouldn't give them a reward.

Instantly, the morale of Anko and others were boosted; some wanted to learn ninjutsu, while others didn't want to do a test paper.

Finally, under Obito's deliberate leniency, Anko and others snatched the bell just as the sun was about to set.

With Obito's strength, without holding back significantly, not only Anko but even three Jonin couldn't have snatched the bell.

Looking at the joyful faces of Anko and the others, Obito also felt a kind of unique sense of accomplishment arise in his heart.

"I must take on a team of graduating Genin at least once." Obito thought.

Perhaps he too could become someone else's Sage Mokgetsu.

...

Other members of the Uchiha didn't have it as smooth as Obito for various reasons, but they didn't encounter major problems.

Although Uchiha Inabi was a Chunin, he recently awakened the Sharingan, making his actual combat power not much different from a Jonin.

This wasn't very unusual in Konoha; Jonin were already rare, and some were busy with significant duties, leaving many small teams led by veteran Chunin.

When he first joined the team and became the captain, Uchiha Inabi could clearly sense a slight sense of alienation from his three team members, seemingly having some opinions about him.

Most Uchiha aren't good at socializing, but that doesn't mean they can't sense other people's emotions; on the contrary, Uchiha are surprisingly sensitive to emotions.

If it were in the past, Uchiha Inabi would do nothing.

Just a few outsiders not as strong as him, why bother wasting effort to investigate the reason and build rapport? Isn't it better to spend that time cultivating? Let the shortsighted outsiders misunderstand him.

However, this time, Uchiha Inabi didn't remain indifferent; he followed the steps taught by Shisui and Obito in their lectures.

During cultivation, Uchiha Inabi used a strict approach to train his team members, then invited them to dinner afterwards to see if they were injured and advised them to rest more.

Because Uchiha Inabi understood that it's difficult for one person to complete a mission well. He didn't need his team members to like him much, but he couldn't let them hate him either.

Completing fewer missions and earning less money didn't matter; but since he was recognized by the Fourth Hokage, if he ended up being average like any ordinary team, it would be a shame to the favor given by the Fourth Hokage.

When returning to the Uchiha, other team leaders talk about how many S-level missions and A-Class missions they accomplished, with praise pouring in from clients, whereas he would be an ordinary team leader, a disgrace to his clan.

After a few days, Uchiha Inabi took them on a normal B-Class mission.

However, this mission faced an unforeseen turn, as the client deliberately misreported the mission details, putting them in a passive situation.

Fortunately, Uchiha Inabi wasn't any ordinary Chunin, relying on his robust strength to complete the mission and then fiercely confronted the client without reservation.

After this mission, the team members' attitudes completely changed.

What Uchiha Inabi felt was no longer a sense of alienation but enthusiasm and guilt.

When the mission ended and returned to Konoha, the three team members treated him, taking him drinking and eating barbecue when he wanted to go back for cultivation.

During the chat, Uchiha Inabi finally learned why the team members initially distanced themselves from him.

He knew there were some rumors outside about the Uchiha, but didn't expect them to be so outrageous.

"I can't guarantee for others, but I can responsibly say that in the years I worked in the Police Squad, I absolutely didn't use my position to frame anyone or profit for myself!" Uchiha Inabi said seriously.

"Captain Inabi, we definitely believe in your character." The team members comforted.

"It's mainly because previously, the Police Squad was entirely managed by your Uchiha clan, so everyone thought it was quite normal for such things to happen."

"But now, I think there might be numerous issues with those rumors. The Uchiha Clan ninja perhaps are mostly normal, otherwise how could there be a righteous young ninja like Captain Inabi." One team member said.

As time progressed, those ninja who teamed up with members of the Uchiha Police Department found that these Uchihas weren't as terrible as the rumors said.

This didn't immediately reverse the Uchiha's reputation in Konoha but started heading in a better direction.
