Chapter 112. Once Again, Here I am!

Chapter 112. Once Again, Here I am!

---

At this moment—

Both sides stared each other down.

Big eyes met small eyes.

The Kiri ninjas had already drawn their weapons, glaring at Uchiha Obito with serious caution.

Damn it.

Had they fallen into a trap?

Was Konoha trying to intimidate them before the negotiations even began?!

Their expressions darkened.

[No matter what happens, we can't let these Konoha ninjas look down on us!]

As for Obito…

What do these Kiri ninjas want?

Were they planning to make a move against Konoha because of the Kakashi situation?

Especially when he saw Asuma's wronged and resentful expression… Obito felt his suspicions grow stronger.

Asuma had been bullied!

Obito clenched his fists angrily.

Damn it!

Kakashi ended up like this because of Kirigakure, and now they were here, bullying Asuma here in Konoha?

This was too much!

So…

"Kirigakure…"

But before he could finish—

"Uchiha Obito!" Zabuza glared at him, his voice cold and heavy. He paused, then added, "Konoha Ass-saulter! Konoha Thunder Finger! Konoha Pervert! Uchiha Obito!"

"…"

What the hell did he mean by that?

Why did he say it again?

Was he trying to provoke him?

Obito's face darkened. He clenched his fists tightly.

[These Kirigakure (Konoha) bastards are going too far!]

Both sides stared each other down, neither willing to back down an inch.

No matter what, for the sake of their village, they absolutely would not lose!

The atmosphere grew heavier and the surrounding villagers, realizing something was off, quickly backed away… but still watched from a safe distance.

Sweat dripped from Asuma's forehead. Seeing Obito suddenly get serious, he knew—

Obito was really about to make a move!

But this wasn't part of Asuma's plan!

Originally, he had planned to provoke the Kiri ninjas, make them attack him and then immediately collapse, foaming at the mouth, convulsing dramatically!

After that—

Since it was alliance talks, If news got out that Kirigakure had beaten the Hokage's son, the old man and the higher-ups would definitely take action.

And with him, the [severely injured] Hokage's son, Kirigakure would have to pay up big time!

Then…

He could use that money to help Kakashi.

But now—

If Obito started a fight…

It was over!

A single Kakashi definitely wouldn't be enough as compensation anymore. Even if he added in all the money he had planned to scam, it still wouldn't be enough!

At this point—

Maybe only his old man's billion-ryo best friend could step in and fix things!

So…

What should he do?!

Should he… make Obito collapse with him too?!

Two people faking injury would definitely get even more compensation!

But…

Is it possible?

Would Obito even go along with it?

The guy had awakened his Three-Tomoe Sharingan now! How could he just fall down so easily?

If it ended up like before…

Where he collapsed for two seconds before standing up again, covering his eye, as if becoming a different person and dramatically yelling: "When I drink this milk tea… Ah! When I open these eyes, you've already lost!"

At that time, what should he do?

Even the Hokage's son couldn't handle that!

However, seeing Asuma sweating nervously, Obito misunderstood thinking Asuma had been bullied but was too afraid to say anything. His anger exploded. He glared at the Kirigakure ninjas with even more anger. "Damn it! This is Konoha! Kiri ninjas!"

How dare you act so arrogantly here?!

If it weren't for Kakashi…

And if Minato-sensei hadn't told him to behave…

He would have already attacked!

He, Uchiha Obito!

Never feared any challenge!

"Konoha? So what?" Zabuza's eyes narrowed slightly, a cold, sharp light flashing in his gaze. [Is he warning us not to be arrogant in Konoha?]

He lowered his gaze, noticing Obito's hands.

Suddenly, he felt a phantom pain in his back.

If he had a choice, Zabuza really didn't want to see this guy again.

But now—

For the sake of Kirigakure…

He, Momochi Zabuza, would never back down!

At worst, he'd just end up in Konoha's hospital again. No big deal. At least Konoha's medical ninjutsu was pretty damn good.

The white-haired Kirigakure ninjas hesitated for a moment. He looked at Zabuza-senpai, whose thighs were clamped tightly together, and suddenly remembered the rumors from the village…

Back during the Chunin Exams… Zabuza-senpai had sacrificed his back for Kirigakure.

Afterwards, he was even humiliated by the Three Legendary Sannin of Konoha!

There's not a single good person in Konoha!

They're all shameless scum with no ninja ethics!

[Zabuza-senpai has had it rough too!]

Thinking this, the Kiri ninja took a deep breath, his legs trembling slightly. Then, with determined resolve, he stepped forward and shouted angrily, "Let me help Zabuza-senpai!"

Obito froze, his eyebrows furrowing deeply. He stared at the Kirigakure ninjas, clenching his fists.

These Kiri ninjas actually refused to leave?

So they're really dead set on causing trouble for us?!

If that's the case…

His Sharingan spun, crimson light flashing in his eyes, "When I open these eyes… Mmff—?!"

Before he could finish, Asuma clamped a hand over his mouth.

With a serious expression and a voice that seemed to hold a trace of pleading, Asuma whispered urgently, "Obito! Brother Obito! Obito-sama! Just leave this to me! You can't make a move! They're Kirigakure's representatives, they came for an alliance!"

Screw it!

I, Sarutobi Asuma, won't even fake an injury anymore! Let's all just go home and mind our own business!

At most!

At most!

For Kakashi's sake, I'll voluntarily stay in the hospital for a few days. If you really want to do it … I'll just stick my butt out myself!

Asuma seemed to come to a decision, his eyes filled with a mix of grievance and determination as he looked at Obito.

But then—

"What are you guys doing?" A familiar voice interrupted them.

Obito and Asuma froze. Slowly turning their heads, they saw a familiar face—A confused yet indifferent Kakashi.

"Kakashi?!"

"Yeah." Kakashi nodded. He had been bored, so he went out for a walk. But then he saw…

This scene.

His expression became strange.

Why were Obito and Asuma hugging each other?

And…

Why was Asuma sticking his butt out?!

Are they doing something weird?

Kakashi's mouth twitched, and his instincts screamed at him not to ask any more questions. So he simply rolled his eyes in exasperation. Then, shifting his focus, he noticed the Kiri ninjas gripping their weapons. His expression immediately darkened. "Kiri ninjas?"

"Konoha's genius! The Three-Tails Jinchuriki! The best friend of Konoha Ass—"

"Stop!" Kakashi's face darkened completely. Why did this Kiri Ninja talk so much nonsense?! "What do you guys want?"

Before anyone could respond—

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Several more figures appeared beside Kakashi.

"Kakashi, Obito, Asuma!"

Kurenai, Genma, and…

"Hahaha! Konoha's Yuto Milk Tea delivery man—Might Guy has arrived!" A green blur landed right in the middle of the group. Guy, who had just finished his training and part-time delivery job, excitedly declared, "I can't believe we're all here! Youth has reunited us once again!"

At this moment—

Konoha had six ninjas!

The Kiri side immediately grew serious. Their leader spoke in a low voice. "Konoha!"

It was clear now.

Konoha's ninjas had been prepared for this from the start.

This wasn't just a simple confrontation. They were being surrounded. They weren't getting out of this.

On Konoha's side… they also hadn't expected Kirigakure to cause trouble on their turf.

Did they really think Konoha would abandon their own comrades?

Impossible!

Six versus three!

Everyone's expressions hardened.

Kurenai hesitated for a moment, opening her mouth as if to say something but when she saw Obito being held back by Asuma, she simply sighed inwardly and stayed silent.

Obito…

He must be feeling the worst right now.

[Kirigakure (Konoha) has gone too far!]

Just as the tension peaked and a fight seemed inevitable—

Suddenly.

"Hahahaha~" A cheerful voice rang out.

Everyone's eyes immediately turned toward the source.

Kakashi and Obito both twitched and their mouths slightly open in exasperation. They had a bad feeling about this.

Sure enough—

A handsome figure strode in, effortlessly drawing everyone's attention. Holding a microphone, wearing a calm and confident smile, he spoke, "First, never act on impulse! Second—"

Before he could finish—

"Get lost!" x2

The atmosphere… suddenly cooled down.

The tension vanished.

With just his presence, Uchiha Yuto single-handedly prevented a war!
