Work Text:
Obito fights close combat, he has the aggression and the bravery, but it’s the skills that are lacking.
He isn’t as good as he should be, gets hurt a lot.
But he takes it like a ninja, he fights on, and even if he loses, he gets up and trains harder.
And training itself hurts, leaves him dully aching.
The entire chunin exams, he feels like a throbbing, purple bruise.
rin makes it better, she finds him after the fights, sits him down and nurses his injuries, she did it before they were teammates, without being asked; because she cares.
