Acquired Black Chamber—The Path of Shame

Just one chapter today

○○○

Obito's face darkened beneath the mask. A suppressed frustration boiled in his chest, threatening to burst out. Not only had this Kuzo taken it upon himself to recruit Orochimaru without his approval, but he had done so right in front of him—without a second thought. And now, in front of his supposed ally, he was making decisions as if he ran Akatsuki?! This was ridiculous!

However, as much as he wanted to snap, he couldn't. He was still playing the role of Tobi, the goofy, harmless "intern" of Akatsuki. If he broke character now, all his carefully laid plans would crumble. So, he clenched his teeth and let it slide. For now.

EX Reward: "Black Chamber" Unlocked!

**Black Chamber - Ability Description:**

A special system reward. The user gains the power to open a dimensional rift at will, allowing them to break through space and enter the Black Chamber at any moment!

Kuzo's eyes widened as he read the description. The Black Chamber? This was practically on par with the Ōtsutsuki Clan's space-time techniques! An ability to rip through dimensions and enter another plane of existence at will? No wonder the system had such a high requirement to unlock it. From Sasori to Kakuzu to Orochimaru—after three victories against Kage-level opponents, he had finally unlocked it. "This… is amazing."

A satisfied smile spread across Kuzo's face. He was itching to test it out. But with Orochimaru and Obito watching, it wasn't exactly the right time.

While Kuzo was still processing his reward, Tobi (Obito) suddenly spoke up, his usual playful tone forced and unnatural. "So, Senior Kuzo! Since the mission is done, shouldn't we return to the Rain Village to report to the leader?"

Kuzo glanced at him, then shook his head. "Not yet. You two wait here. I have some personal business to take care of."

"?"

Personal business? Orochimaru said nothing, but Obito's eyes narrowed behind his mask. A secret errand? Could this guy be hiding something? Interesting. The moment Kuzo left, Obito made up his mind. He would follow him in secret.

Kuzo, however, had no idea that he was being trailed. He had other priorities. Instead of heading back to Rain Village, he made his way to a bustling commercial district in the Land of Fire. Not far from where they had fought Orochimaru. He wasn't here for sightseeing, though. He had another side quest to complete.

- Obtain a copy of Jiraiya's novel "Make-Out Paradise" (0/1) — Incomplete.

- Read "Make-Out Paradise" from start to finish (0/1) — Incomplete.

- Recite a passage from "Make-Out Paradise" with deep emotion (0/1) — Incomplete.

The missions were a little embarrassing. But if it meant free Reiatsu, he wasn't about to complain. Besides, it's not like he was reading it for fun. It was just for the rewards.

Stepping into the largest bookstore in the district, Kuzo went straight to the counter. He placed a handful of ryo on the table and said, in the most casual tone possible: "One copy of *Make-Out Paradise*, please."

The entire bookstore fell silent.

Every passerby within earshot turned to stare. Who was this guy?
