Chapter 115: The Gift

Chapter 115: The Gift

After dinner, Obito brought the food he had prepared for Kamishiro to Kamishiro's house.

However, since Kamishiro was too absorbed in his work, Obito didn't disturb him and just waited.

Obito waited for several hours before Kamishiro finally put down his pen.

Obito was full of resentment. Sure enough, Kamishiro had forgotten about helping him choose a gift for Rin Nohara.

Kamishiro wondered, "Huh? Isn't Rin's birthday already over?"

Obito's eyes became even more aggrieved. "Yeah, after what happened last time, everyone got injured. You and Teacher Minato even stayed in the hospital for almost half a month. Naturally, we missed Rin's birthday."

"Even though we missed Rin's birthday, we can still give her a gift. I thought you'd been thinking about it during your stay in the hospital. But I didn't expect you to completely forget about it!"

Kamishiro coughed dryly. Anyway, he decided to be stubborn first. "I didn't forget! Actually, I've already thought of something. I just wanted to see how important Rin is to you, so I was waiting for you to ask me. I was just pretending!"

Obito curled his lips. "Kamishiro, do you know? You're really obvious when you lie. Since you said you've already thought of something, then tell me. I'd like to see what you can come up with."

"Humph, underestimating me? Watch closely. I'll only do this demonstration once!"

Kamishiro took out a piece of wood and then a Kunai.

Then the Kunai in Kamishiro's hand flew nimbly. Soon, a vivid wooden statue of Rin Nohara was carved out.

Kamishiro threw the wooden statue in his hand to Obito. "How about it? Not bad, right?"

Obito looked at the statue in his hand and was extremely delighted. "It's great. It's really, really great. It's an exact replica. Rin will definitely like this gift. Thank you, Kamishiro."

Just as Obito was about to leave, Kamishiro grabbed him. "I didn't say you could give this to Rin as a gift!"

Obito was confused. "Huh? Why? You carved this for me. Isn't it for me to give to Rin as a gift?"

Kamishiro let out a "Hehe". "I carved this. It can only be considered my gift. If you want to give her a gift, carve one yourself."

Obito stared blankly at Kamishiro with both eyes. "But I can't!"

"Didn't I just demonstrate it to you?"

Obito widened his eyes. "You were so fast. Who could see clearly?"

Kamishiro said to Obito earnestly, "That's your problem, Obito. Sometimes, it doesn't matter how good the gift is. What matters is your sincere intention!"

Obito frowned tightly. "But didn't you say last time that we should give Rin something she likes?"

"The meaning is the same. Well, you can carve a statue just like this one for Rin. I've taught you everything I can. Now it's up to you. I'm going to get back to work!"

Kamishiro pushed Obito out of the house and closed the door. Looking at the The Plan he had just written on the table, his eyes brightened as if he had seen a beautiful woman.

Finally, it was quiet. But it was just a plan. This isn't even the warm - up!

After taking a couple of bites of the food Obito had brought, Kamishiro started his research.

Scratching his head, Obito returned to his own home.

Lying on the bed, Obito held the statue of Rin Nohara carved by Kamishiro in his hand and stared at it all the time.

As he stared, Obito slowly brought the statue closer to his face and then...

"Mua~"

Obito's face instantly turned as red as a tomato. Shyly, he Monju his face with the quilt.

"Obito, how could you do this? You can't. This is so creepy..."

It took Obito ages to calm down and finally he pulled the quilt off his face and looked at the statue of Rin Nohara again.

Obito remembered what Kamishiro had said about the most important thing being the sincerity... But the Kunai and goggles he had given Rin back then were full of his sincerity.

"Forget it. I'll listen to Kamishiro one more time!"

Obito rolled off the bed, full of energy. "Alright! Let's start! I must carve a statue of Rin that is even nicer than the one Kamishiro made, and then give it to Rin as a gift!"

Obito found a piece of wood, picked up a Kunai, and started trying to carve.

Soon.

Obito finished carving one.

But the statue he carved couldn't even be considered abstract. It didn't even look like a human being.

Obito immediately threw it away and picked up another piece of wood to continue carving.

Days passed.

On the third day, Minato Namikaze brought the Lightning Blade Summoning Technique and the science and technology materials that Kamishiro needed to Kamishiro.

When Kamishiro saw the science and technology materials Minato Namikaze had brought him, he was stunned.

This was not just advanced science and technology materials. It could completely be called core science and technology materials!

Minato Namikaze didn't understand these technologies. So he simply went to the R & D department in Konoha and found the person in charge.

Seeing that it was Minato Namikaze asking, and that he was asking the person in charge directly, the person in charge thought it was something important and directly gave Minato Namikaze some core science and technology materials.

Minato Namikaze brought these materials to Kamishiro in a daze.

However, most of these science and technology materials were given by Orochimaru, the unimportant ones that Orochimaru had discarded.

But even the discarded science and technology materials from Orochimaru were at the forefront of the current ninja world's technology.

With these materials, Kamishiro's science and technology points would skyrocket.

Meanwhile, Obito had been struggling with the statue for these three days.

Obito had carved no less than a hundred statues of Rin Nohara. From the ones that didn't look like a human at the beginning to the ones that now looked a bit like a human.

Obito had just finished carving a statue. Looking at the statue in his hand, although it was rather abstract, it was the best one he'd carved so far.

Moreover, Obito felt that he wouldn't be able to do better even if he tried harder. He really didn't have any talent for this kind of thing.

Looking at the rather abstract statue in his hand, Obito was a bit at a loss for words. "Will Rin... really like it?"

Nervously, Obito took the statue and left home to find Rin Nohara.

At this time, Rin Nohara should be helping at the hospital.

So Obito came to the hospital and found Rin Nohara.

"Hey, Obito, why are you here?"

Rin Nohara, who had just assisted other medical ninjas in treating an injured person, was very surprised to see Obito appear at the hospital.

Obito didn't dare to look into Rin Nohara's eyes and stammered, "Umm, Rin, can you come with me for a moment?"

Rin Nohara readily agreed. "Sure! I was just planning to go home and then practice with you guys this afternoon. Let's go together."

Obito and Rin Nohara walked side by side and left the hospital.

Because Obito was so nervous, he walked in an awkward, pigeon - toed way. He already looked a bit dull - witted, and now he looked even more of a dolt.

Obito was extremely nervous, wondering whether he should give the statue he'd made to Rin Nohara.
