Chaptre 10: The Suicide Of The White Fang
“Hey, Cocky-Ryo, wait for me!”
As soon as he heard his voice, he knew it was Obito. Since Ryo beat Kakashi to the 1st place in the last class ranking, Obito has two rivals now.
Kakashi usually ignores Obito’s provocations. But when occasionally cornered by him, he beats him up.
Unlike Kakashi, Ryo never
gets angry. After all he’s in his thirties now, and these are kids teasing him. That’s why obito calls him out as cocky.
“Obito, you didn’t arrive late today? Didn’t you meet grandma today?”
“I met her, but I didn’t help.”
“Why? Lost your helping fetish?”
“Oh! Yesterday I heard her taking punches to Sakumo-San with others”
With his main body remaining for
for the past months in school and focused on keeping him covered, and his main body fully devoted to medical ninja, Ryo didn’t get pay attention to the rumors floating around the village.
“Obito, what happened with Sakumo-san?”
“Cocky Ryo, you do not know?”
Ryo shook his head.
Obito sighed and said: “well, Sakumo san and his nakama went to the village hidden
village hidden in the sand to carry on a secret mission, and they were trapped by the sand ninja. While Sakumo san was able to evade the trap, his companions were caught. So he chose to give up on the village and save them. They returned three days ago. I heard that this brought a great loss to the village, to the village, so everyone turned on him, even the ones he saved! Grown-ups! They suck!”
(Translator note: Obito supposedly doesn’t know about these events as he has been told about them by Minato after Sakumo’s death! But this is how the novel has been written, perhaps by butterfly effect Ryo’ presence got him to know about it
