Chapter 16 - More Important Than Winning the War

Obito staggered towards the direction where his friends were, his body swaying as if he had lost his balance. He had just been hit hard by a whip-kick from Uchiha Ruri, and the muscles in his arms that he used to block the attack were still trembling.

"Don't be discouraged Obito, it's normal for you to lose." Mitsuki tried to comfort his friend.

"Don't worry, we can still graduate even if we lose. The assessment only depends on our performance." Kakashi patted Obito's shoulder and said.

This is true. Mr. Morino is not only responsible for calling people, but also for recording everyone's performance after each competition.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the battles between ninjas were basically quick battles, so the assessment was over soon.

The final result was not unexpected, and everyone graduated successfully.

Looking at the smiles on the faces of the classmates around him, Mitsuki didn't know what to say.

Originally, the Second Ninja World War had stopped when Mitsuki entered school, and most people thought that there would be at least a long period of peace this time.

As a result, just a few years later, these three wars broke out again.

After they graduate today, they will go to the battlefield. I wonder which smile among them will disappear forever in a month.

Mitsuki wasn't too worried about his own safety, as he had made a five-yearly ten-continuous prayer on his birthday last year.

According to the system, a successful wish will bring a skill that best suits you. I won't talk about whether the first six eyes are suitable for you, but it is indeed very comfortable to use.

So when you are about to go to the battlefield, the next skill you pray for should be the ability to make up for your own defense.

He originally thought that the most suitable technique for his second wish would be the one that matched the Six Eyes, which had both defense and output, but after his wish was successful, it turned out not to be the case.

[Full Counterattack]

This is the ability of Meliodas, the Sin of Wrath, one of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Compared to the complex functions of the Six Eyes, the skill introduction of the Full Counterattack only has one sentence.

[Full Counterattack: Return all non-pure physical attacks.]

It has to be said that this new ability does make up for Mitsuki's current biggest concern, defense.

Unlike No Bottom Line, this ability not only allows him to easily protect his own life on the battlefield, but also protect his teammates around him.

Its defensive performance is also better than that of no lower limit, but its output may be unstable, but its upper limit is indeed higher.

Mitsuki guessed that the system's wishes would not only take into account what attributes one lacked, but also one's inner desires.

Last year, before he knew about the groups, he had considered the situation if Rin and he were assigned to the same group because of the butterfly effect brought about by his time travel.

Protecting Rin was more important to him than winning the war.

Most ninjas are fragile with high attack and low defense. Mitsuki is well aware of this. He knows that what he lacks most at the moment is combat experience. Currently, the power of Mitsuki's ninjutsu is completely sufficient for the period of the Third War.

And with the help of the Six Eyes, as he gets older, his Chakra amount continues to increase, so there is no need to worry about his output for the time being.

With strong defensive capabilities, his tolerance for errors on the battlefield will be greatly improved, and the trial-and-error cost of gaining combat experience will also be greatly reduced.

Overall, Mitsuki was quite satisfied with the result of this prayer.

With more references in the future, he should be able to more accurately analyze the parameters that affect the system's prayers.

...

Just like the grouping that Mitsuki saw using his six eyes, Obito Kakashi and Rin were grouped together.

He was assigned to a group with Uchiha Ruri and was placed in a front-line team that was short of two people.

During the war, some of Konoha's ninja school graduates would be directly added to the teams that suffered casualties on the front line.

These teams, which have been replenished and fully staffed, will be led by their captains to the battlefield one after another in the next few days.

Konoha is currently fighting on three fronts, with the main enemies being Kirigakure on the east front, and Sunagakure and Iwagakure on the west front.

But Cloud Shinobi is also eyeing Konoha covetously. Once Konoha shows signs of fatigue in the war, the only result that awaits Konoha is being torn apart by a pack of wolves.

...

After the last school break in the afternoon, Mitsuki and Rin were walking home.

Rin put her hands behind her back, lowered her head slightly, and said softly: "Mitsuki, we will act separately tomorrow, right?"

"yes."

"I'm a little uncomfortable with this all of a sudden."

Mitsuki looked at Rin who was in a depressed mood. He understood Rin's mood at the moment.

After all, since they met at the takeover office, there had hardly been a day when he and Rin hadn't seen each other.

In fact, Mitsuki's own mood is also very complicated. On the one hand, he knows that he has memories of his past life and cannot regard himself completely as a child.

On the one hand, his biggest dream in this world is just to live a peaceful and stable life.

However, his mother passed away just after he came through, and a few years later, Kento also left him.

At that time, he was actually a bit self-destructive. After all, he died in his previous life for inexplicable and ridiculous reasons, and he started his new life as an orphan.

What? Time travelers don't deserve to have living parents and a happy family?

Humans are social animals. It is difficult to live alone without a strong will. Mitsuki believes that he is not a person with a strong will.

It's not easy to live alone in a strange city, let alone in another world. When the initial novelty fades, all that's left is loneliness.

If Mitsuki hadn't known that Uchiha Madara's Infinite Tsukuyomi plan was a scam, he would have thought it would be nice to indulge in the beautiful dream of Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Just when Mitsuki was in unspeakable loneliness, it was Rin's appearance that changed him and made him feel that at least there were people in this world who felt as sad as he did.

This also filled his heart with something inexplicable.

In this world, Mitsuki has spent even more time with Rin than Kento.

If saving Hatake Sakumo was considered a piece of cake, then ensuring that Rin could survive this extremely brutal Ninja World War safely was the next step.

To protect this precious bond is the goal he must now achieve with all his might.
