Although Yahiko and the others had joined Hanzo's forces, they still could not meet Hanzo so carelessly. The four children were taken to the headquarters and trained like the others.
‘’Hihi, do I now look great?’’ ask Yahiko.
Konan and Nagato smiled, in contrast to Naruto who put on a stupid face.
You just spin the kunai in your hand, what's so great? Dattebayo, Naruto said in his heart.
However, Naruto remains as alert as ever, though it does not raise any suspicions. Hanzo's friendly attitude won't work for him once he has heard Nagato's true story.

‘’I'll give you a special mission. It's more like a secret task,’’ Minato said.
‘’Finally S rank mission in while still Genin!’’ obito Girang.
‘’I want you to keep an eye on Kushina because she is pregnant,’’ Minato said.
The excited Obito was instantly lethargic with his stupid face. ‘’Hah, it turns out escort the fierce lady, yes?’’
Minato just smiled stiffly. ‘’When Jinchuriki woman is pregnant, the energy that keeps the seal is transferred to the fetus, and weakens the seal of Bijuu. And it will last about ten months until she gives birth. I want you guys to keep Kushina from any incident.’’
‘’We understand,’’ said Rin and Kakashi nodded.
‘’Obito?’’ face Minato.
Obito sighed and resigned with his stupid face. ‘’Alright, fine. I understand.’’
Minato smiled. ‘’Arigatou minna.’’
......................
Winter has gone on as the three children watch over Kushina wherever she goes.
‘’Rin, I'm dying. I seem to have forgotten my handkerchief and need a warmer,’’ said Obito shyly wanting to hold Rin's hand.
Unable to hold Rin by the hand, Kakashi throws a handkerchief at her face.
‘’Hah! Where'd you get my handkerchief?’’ ask Obito.
‘’You dropped it, so I picked it up,’’ Kakashi replied.
......................
Kakashi and Rin were just sitting around the back window. Unlike Obito who peeked, seeing the couple was eating.
‘’The food looks delicious. I want to eat too,’’ said Obito about to enter.
Sreg!
Kakashi gives candy to Obito, and gives bread to Rin.
‘’Ha? Why am I the only one eating candy?’’ ask Obito.
‘’Can't you survive without food? Eat and don't complain,’’ Kakashi said.
Roughly speaking, Obito was about to eat the candy earlier. Unfortunately, the candy dropped, making Kakashi just sigh.
Rin who saw him just smiled. He also divided his two loaves. ‘’This, you can eat half of it.’’
Getting the bread of half of the people he liked certainly made Obito very happy even though it was just a piece of bread. Obito took the bread and they ate it together.
......................
The three children stood guard on the roof of the neighboring house to monitor Kushina. However, Obito shook his face with a hand while sighing violently.
‘’Weather is too bright. I want to eat ice! Very pa—’’
Kakashi gagged Obito's mouth with a scroll. ‘’Be quiet! You will make Kushina-sama wake up.’’
‘’Kakashi! How dare you ... Do you want to fight?’’ ask Obito.
Rin who witnessed the debate just broke up as usual.
......................
Obito let out a long sigh while landing his chin on the wood. ‘’When will this mission end? I was like running a mission in a very far place and never came back.’’
Not long after, Chunnin's exam arrived. The other Genin took the test.

‘’Thank you for protecting Kushina to date. You guys have been trying hard, why not relax for a while?’’ ask Minato.
‘’Wouldn't we keep an eye on Kushina-sama until labor is over Sensei? Though it has stayed a little longer, why does Sensei do this?’’ ask Kakashi.
Minato smiled. ‘’It's true. But, the three of you should also relax after such a long time. And also congratulations to Rin and Obito who have become Chunnin. You two have fought hard.’’
‘’Haa, even though I have reached the final round, and instead lost by Asuma,’’ Obito said.
‘’Kurenai is also very great. I was a little overwhelmed against him,’’ Rin said.
‘’But you managed to keep up with Guy, right? That's enough to make you a little famous,’’ Minato said.
‘’That's because Guy immediately got a stomachache from eating past-time butter bread. Otherwise, he would have hit you,’’ Kakashi said.
Obito put on his disheveled face. Since they were already allowed to leave, the three children bowed. ‘’God shitsurei shimasu(Excuse me).’’
