Naruto: I have an attribute panel

Chapter 54 Opinions and Adventures

"Obito~ Stop grabbing me! Come and eat some barbecue! If you don't come soon, all of Taichi's barbecue will be eaten up!" Guy shouted at Obito, who was still struggling.

Hearing the shout, Obito was clearly taken aback, seemingly torn between enjoying Taichi's food first or continuing his water-walking practice. In the end, Taichi's barbecue won out, and Obito quickly jumped ashore, cleaned himself up briefly, and ran over to join the others for the barbecue.

"Obito, you have to practice treading water slowly. You can't get fat in one bite," Taiichi said to Obito, then turned to Akimichi Tangdong and asked, "Right, Tangdong!"

"Haha!" Everyone laughed good-naturedly.

"That's right, I've gotten like this over time. And Taiyi, I'm not fat, I'm voluptuous!" Qiu Daotangdong kept talking, and even managed to refute Taiyi's words.

They ate and chatted together, occasionally asking Taichi and Kakashi about their daily lives as genin. Kakashi, having been a genin for a longer time, had plenty to talk about. Taichi, on the other hand, could only recount some interesting things from his missions.

"So that means that after becoming a genin, we have to complete a certain number of D-rank missions before we can take on higher-rank missions," Obito said with dissatisfaction.

"Are all D-rank missions just small tasks within the village? Are there any that require leaving the village?" Shizune asked as well.

"There's a reason why the village assigns these missions. Genin need to familiarize themselves with the mission process and work on team cohesion. All of this takes time, so we can't be too ambitious," Taiichi analyzed the pros and cons from the side.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, and before they knew it, Asuma had moved closer to Kurenai, Obito and Kakashi were bickering again, and Shikaji and the other two were lying on the side digesting their food.

At this moment, Lin sat down next to Taiyi and looked at him without saying a word for a long time.

Seeing Lin's hesitant expression, Taiyi asked in confusion, "Lin, is there anything I can help you with? Just tell me."

Hearing Taiyi's gentle words, Lin no longer hesitated: "Taiyi, do you think I'll have a good future if I graduate like this?"

Taiichi didn't understand what Rin meant at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized: "Rin is worried, right?"

"Yes!" Rin replied frankly, "Although neither you nor Kakashi mentioned any dangerous missions, I know that missions aren't always fun. In fact, danger is the norm for missions."

At that moment, Shizune also came over, looking at Taiichi with a questioning gaze. Clearly, she had overheard Taiichi and Rin's conversation.

Taiichi looked at Rin and Shizune, thinking about their future and what they would encounter. Fortunately, Shizune had Tsunade as her strong backer and survived into the future.

Rin Nohara's fate was rather tragic. In the end, she was tricked by Madara Uchiha. In order not to implicate Konoha, she had no choice but to end her own life at Kakashi's hands, which led to the tragedies of Kakashi and Obito.

Thinking about all this, Taiyi's gaze towards Lin couldn't help but soften with pity. Lin, seeing this, unconsciously shifted her body slightly.

Noticing Rin's actions, Taiichi put aside his thoughts and said, "This is just my personal opinion. Rin and Shizune, you two aren't particularly outstanding in terms of physical abilities, but I've noticed that your chakra control is exceptionally good. Why don't you take some time to study some medical ninjutsu? Gradually develop in the direction of medical ninjas. After all, medical ninjas are special talents, and if you achieve something, the village will definitely pay attention to you."

Shizune seemed lost in thought; Taiichi's words echoed Tsunade's advice, helping her to better understand herself.

Lin was in a bit of a dilemma. She didn't have any ninja lineage; she was just an ordinary girl from a poor family. Her expression dimmed as she thought about it.

Taiichi understood from Rin's expression. After all, they had been classmates for two years, and Rin was a kind-hearted person who had often helped Taiichi in the past. Naturally, Taiichi couldn't bear to see Rin continue to suffer like this.

"How about this, I also know some medical ninjutsu. I'll go back and write down my experiences from the past two years, and then I'll give you both a copy." Taiyi naturally couldn't be biased; if he was going to give one, he would give one to each of them.

"Thank you so much, Taiichi! I don't know how to thank you enough!" Lin was overjoyed. She knew that Taiichi's medical skills were extraordinary. For the past two years, Taiichi had been interning at the hospital every holiday, and the doctors there spoke highly of him. Taiichi's gift was incredibly precious to her.

"We're good friends, and besides, you always helped me back in school, didn't you?" Taiichi replied with a smile.

Just then, the sound of Kakashi and Obito arguing came from not far away. Tai looked over and saw that the two clowns were arguing again at the entrance of the Forest of Death for some unknown reason.

"Let's go take a look!" Tai said to Lin and Shizune.

The three of them got up and walked towards Kakashi and the others. As they got closer, they realized that Obito and Asuma, having nothing better to do, had been urging everyone to go on an adventure in the Forest of Death.

Kakashi, of course, disagreed. He and Taichi had come early that morning specifically to prevent them from trespassing into the Forest of Death. How could he possibly take them in now?

When Obito saw that Taichi and the others had arrived, he became even more excited: "Kakashi, you and Taichi have been out of school for so long, your strength must have improved a lot. With the two of you here, plus so many of us, what danger can't we overcome!"

Well! Obito even went so far as to flatter Kakashi in order to get into the Forest of Death.

"Besides, we're just wandering around the outskirts of the Forest of Death, it's not that dangerous," Obito continued. "Or are you just scared, Kakashi?" Obito stared at Kakashi suspiciously, trying to provoke him.

Kakashi, being only seven years old, couldn't resist the provocation from his arch-rival Obito and readily agreed. But he immediately regretted it and looked at Taichi, hoping Taichi would object.

Taiichi had initially wanted to object, but Rin's incident changed his mind. His companions hadn't had enough experience at school, and now that they could gain some experience under his and Kakashi's supervision, even if it was dangerous, it was worth the risk.

"Kakashi, it's alright. We'll keep an eye on things. Consider it a little early training for everyone," Taiichi winked at Kakashi.

"All right!"

Seeing that the only two ninjas present had agreed, everyone was very happy, after all, they were all future ninjas, and they were not lacking in adventurous spirit and courage.

They agreed that Taichi and Kakashi would act as the final safeguards, and that all other expeditions would be carried out by Obito, Asuma, and the others unless they encountered an insurmountable danger.

After dividing up the tasks, the group crossed the wire mesh and entered the Death Forest.

Sunlight filtered through the branches, dappling the withered leaves, and the damp, moss-like scent unique to the Death Forest filled the air. Obito led the way, pushing aside the drooping vines, followed closely by the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, with Guy and Asuma bringing up the rear. The three girls, kunai in hand, provided support in the middle. Taichi and Kakashi stood guard on either side of the group, perched in the trees, their short swords already subtly drawn.

Along the way, we encountered many bumps and bruises, and made quite a few laughs, but we also learned a lot of knowledge that cannot be learned from textbooks, such as how to identify herbs and how to judge traces, all of which require practice.

"Rustle and rustle—"

The crisp snapping of a dead branch sent everyone on edge. Kai whirled around, assuming the Leaf Whirlwind stance, Obito's shuriken already slid into his palm. Suddenly, the bushes ahead shook violently, and a nearly two-meter-tall, grayish-brown wild boar roared out, its tusks dripping with decaying leaves as it charged straight at the center of the group!

"spread!"
