"The Hokage has arrived!!"
Just before the wedding started, the Third Hokage finally arrived, a bit later than expected. Everyone in the courtyard stood up as the Hokage entered. With a warm smile, he waved his hand. "No need for formalities. Today is Fugaku's happy day. I'm just here to celebrate with him. Please, take your seats."
"Right this way, Hokage-sama."
The Uchiha gave the Third Hokage all the respect due, with the head elder personally rising to greet and seat him. If it weren't for the fact that Fugaku was the groom, he'd have been the first to greet the Hokage himself.
The Third Hokage smiled and nodded at Xin and Tsunade before taking the seat prepared for him. He leisurely sipped his tea while engaging in polite conversation with the Uchiha elder.
"What a fake," Tsunade muttered under her breath, rolling her eyes and turning back to her sake.
Xin, feeling equally bored, resigned himself to snacking on some seeds. He had no interest in drinking, and it wasn't the right time to dig into the food yet. So, he was left to crack open some seeds and watch the event unfold.
"Captain."
Thankfully, the Uchiha clan weren't completely oblivious. Seeing Xin's obvious boredom, they had Uchiha Ryoji come over to keep him company and chat.
Xin glanced up at the young man who had grown quite a bit stronger since the last time they met. He smiled and said, "Not bad. Looks like you've been working hard on your training. Have you unlocked your Sharingan?"
"How did you know?" Ryoji asked in surprise.
Even Tsunade raised an eyebrow, turning to look at Ryoji with curiosity. Could Xin really tell at a glance if someone had unlocked their Sharingan?
Ryoji was only eleven, and unlocking the Sharingan at that age was pretty impressive.
People often misunderstood Obito, labeling him as weak. But compared to Kakashi, of course, he seemed like the underdog. In reality, Obito was quite strong. He just had some... mental issues.
Before graduation, Obito had mastered several Fire-style jutsu, was proficient in taijutsu, and had solid shuriken-throwing skills. How could anyone call that weak?
If Obito was considered weak, then three-quarters of the academy graduates would have to be considered failures.
And really, if Obito was such a "failure," would the Third Hokage have placed him on a team with Kakashi?
"How did you know, Captain? Did Mikoto tell you?" Ryoji asked, still looking stunned.
Xin chuckled and shook his head. "No, Mikoto didn't say anything. I could just sense that your spiritual energy is much stronger than most people your age, so I guessed you must've awakened it."
Other people might not have noticed, but with Xin's Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, he could feel these things clearly.
