Chapter 194. Die!!

Chapter 194. Die!!

---

My name is Uchiha Obito.

A man determined to become Hokage!

Some time ago, I joined the Anbu, but... after staying for a while, I finally resigned today!

Even though Kakashi isn't in the Anbu anymore, the Anbu isn't a place where people can come and go as they please.

Special Assassination and Tactical Squad!

It's not some simple organization. Even if his teacher is the Hokage, he can't just casually change the rules of the Anbu.

Therefore.

It wasn't until today

That he successfully resigned and is now guarding the gate!

"Damn it! That bastard Kakashi! He didn't even tell me he was leaving, making me waste so much time for nothing!" Obito clenched his fist in frustration, muttering to himself, "He must be worried that I'll surpass him, so he did this on purpose!"

It must be!

No way around it.

The Fifth Hokage of Konoha... it's between Kakashi and me!

He planned to challenge Kakashi after work today to see how much Kakashi had grown!

Thinking this, Obito's eyes seemed to burn with blazing flames—the light of chasing his dreams.

Keep women out of your heart, and your ninjutsu will ascend!

If it weren't for his quick reaction last time, things would have gone badly. Minato-sensei is really something!

Who would have thought he was that kind of person!

Of course,

Now he had to finish his work first.

As for why he was assigned to guard the gate... recently, Konoha was hosting a Mahjong Tournament, and with frequent visitors from other villages coming and going, they were short on manpower. So, he had to temporarily take on this task!

At that moment.

"Obito-sama, the ninjas from Kumogakure are here. Please handle the reception!"

A voice from another ninja reached him, and Obito snapped out of his thoughts, turning to walk over.

Suddenly.

"It's you, you pervert?!"

A voice filled with surprise!

Obito's face immediately darkened as he turned toward the voice...

A girl with long, straight, light yellow-green hair, usually tied into a long braid that reached her waist, appeared before him.

The familiar tone and the cat-like arrogance...

He already recognized who this was!

Unfortunately.

Women will only affect the speed at which he casts his ninjutsu!

Obito snorted disdainfully. "So it's you, the defeated one!"

"Damn it! Who's defeated?" Nii Yugito glared at Obito. "If it weren't for you using that... that... ugh!" Under everyone's gaze, her face turned red, and she couldn't finish her sentence. "You pervert! Konoha pervert! Big pervert!"

This.

The commotion immediately drew curious looks from everyone.

Is there a story here?

However.

"It's Nishikyo! It's Nishikyo!"

"Uchiha Obito! Konoha's Ass-aulter! Hero of the Third War!"

"You're so perverted~ I like it~"

Cheers erupted from the crowd, and Obito's mouth twitched. [Damn it! Yuto Group! I'll make them go bankrupt sooner or later!]

Just as he was about to slip away!

"Obito-sama, please handle the reception for Kumogakure. You can leave after that!"

"... "

Obito hesitated for a moment, looking at the Kumo ninjas in front of him, and could only... nod in agreement.

Then.

He quickly led the Kumo ninjas into the village.

After walking a distance, things finally quieted down!

"Hmph! I didn't expect a pervert like you to have fans! How disgusting!" Nii Yugito sneered, but seeing Obito's dark expression, she hesitated, then suddenly sighed and patted his shoulder. "Forget it! It seems you didn't want things to turn out this way."

However.

"Slap!"

Obito immediately swatted her hand away.

"Get away from me!"

"Hey, hey, I'm trying to comfort you here!"

"I don't need it!"

"You'll never have a girl who likes you!"

"Women will only affect the speed at which I cast my ninjutsu!"

"Are you really a pervert?"

Nii Yugito was stunned, and the other curious Kumo ninjas behind her also stared at him wide-eyed.

No wonder Konoha's Ass-aulter created such a technique!

Maybe this is the reason!

"Yo yo, check it out, as expected of the Fourth Hokage's student, your determination, your will, oh yeah, unimaginable!" The unbreakable will even moved the team leader, Killer B. "This is the ninja way!"

"Alright!" Nii Yugito, seeing the determination in Obito's eyes, especially after his firm tone earlier, hesitated. "Even though I can't accept it, we'll try to understand. Now... please take us to our accommodations!"

After saying that, the entire team suddenly fell silent, slowly moving forward.

The atmosphere felt somewhat eerie.

Nii Yugito secretly glanced at Uchiha Obito beside her. She had also watched Meteor Konoha, and honestly, it was quite interesting.

And the character Uchiha Nishikyo... if she didn't know it was this guy, he was indeed quite handsome. No...

She blinked. [This guy actually looks pretty handsome too! Too bad he's a pervert!]

At that moment.

"Don't miss out! Don't miss out!"

A loud commotion suddenly came from ahead.

She looked up curiously, wondering why Obito had suddenly stopped, and asked, "What's going on up there? Why is it so lively?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned her head to look at Obito, whose face was growing darker, and then followed his gaze.

Not far away, surrounded by a crowd... a young man with thick hair was holding up colorful photos, shouting nonstop.

"Artistic photos of Uchiha Nishikyo! Special spiral mask photos! Treasured private photos! We have them all! Fair prices, buy ten get one free!"

"..."

The atmosphere fell silent again.

Not long after.

Suddenly.

"Asuma!!!"

A roar erupted beside her.

It was a voice filled with despair, anger, and a desire to kill.

Then.

A figure charged forward with a flash of lightning, accompanied by a piercing thunderclap, as if transforming into a beam of light.

It was impossible to track with the naked eye!

"That's..." The team leader, Killer B, immediately looked serious. "The secret technique of Konoha's Ass-aulter! Chidori!"

…

Let's rewind time a bit.

The weather was nice today.

A perfect day to set up a street stall.

So, Asuma, wanting to earn some extra cash, decided to set up a stall.

There was no other way.

That war... had completely drained his savings, and he still hadn't recovered.

And his old man... for some reason, had become stingy recently. Even his newly issued pension couldn't last a day in his hands. Asuma had almost thought his old man was having a midlife crisis, going to some shady places like the Fourth Hokage, and nearly told his mom.

So, there was no choice... he had to fend for himself!

As for what to sell?

He had already figured it out!

Obito's photos!

Ever since Meteor Konoha became a hit, Uchiha Nishikyo had also become famous, and anything related to him became highly sought after.

For example, the mask seller at the village entrance had reportedly sold out of spiral masks!

So, selling Obito's photos.

Low cost, easy to source, and he even had Obito's silly photos from his school days!

With so many tourists coming and going today, it was the perfect opportunity.

And he really didn't expect...

They were selling like hotcakes!

Thinking about it now, Obito was so cute back then. How did he become "Obito-sama" now?

Sure enough, war really changes people!

"Don't push! Don't push! There's enough for everyone! Plenty of stock!" Asuma chuckled as he looked at the customers in front of him.

So enthusiastic!

Way too enthusiastic!

Who would've thought Obito's photos would sell so well?

Tonight, he'd definitely be able to top up a few 648s!

He dodged left and right with his nimble legs, trying to keep some space around him for the transactions.

Honestly... walking on two feet again felt amazing!

[Hmph! I don't need that computer anymore! I'll just give it to the old man and buy a new one later! The Konoha Limited Edition Prodigal Fire! I'll buy two!]

Asuma kept pulling out photos, looking at the shy... female customer in front of him.

"Which one do you want?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the female customer hesitated, seeming a bit embarrassed.

"That... the one with the mask..."

"That one? Got it! That's a hot item!" Asuma immediately understood and nodded knowingly. "It's three times the price of the regular ones. Do you want it?"

"Yes!"

"Alright! Here you go!"

Hearing the customer's confirmation, Asuma excitedly pulled out a photo.

On it, a handsome yet gloomy young man wearing a spiral mask was forming a tiger seal.

[By the time I make my move, you've already lost!]

Just as he was about to hand it to the female customer...

"Asuma!" A roar.

"?!" Asuma's face changed, and he turned to see Obito, who had somehow charged over.

"Obito-sama, I—"

"Shut up! Die!"

"You can't do this, I'm... I'm..."

"Even the Third Hokage's son has to die!"

"No! I'm your uncle! You can't do this to me!"

"..."

Who the hell is your uncle?!

"Die!!!"
