After a while, Kuzo walked out of the bookstore with a helpless smile on his face.

According to the clerk, this was the largest bookstore in the Land of Fire. If they were sold out here, it would be nearly impossible to find the book anywhere else in the short term. So, if he wanted to read it, the most convenient option was to borrow it from someone else.

And just a minute ago, a Konoha Shinobi wearing a black mask had bought the last copy and entered the noodle shop next door.

"Tsk," Kuzo clicked his tongue. "Looks like I can only ask him."

He smiled bitterly and shook his head before heading to the noodle shop beside the bookstore.

After all, it was hard to come all this way, and Kuzo didn't want to miss the chance to complete the side task. He had already thought of how to borrow the book. Most likely, he'd have to convince a certain masked individual...

With a faint smile, Kuzo walked into the noodle shop, *Nine Tiao Ramen*.

The moment he stepped inside, his eyes immediately landed on a white-haired young man sitting in the corner. The man wore a black mask, and his Konoha forehead protector tilted slightly, covering his left eye. He sat with his legs crossed, holding a copy of *Make-Out Paradise* and reading it openly, appearing completely at ease.

That's right. The person sitting there was none other than—

Hatake Kakashi, the famous Konoha Jōnin!

Kuzo's smile widened at the sight. He walked straight toward Kakashi. However, the moment he approached, Kakashi's sharp instincts kicked in. He put the book down immediately and looked at Kuzo coldly.

"...What's up?" Kakashi's voice was as cold as his expression.

While closing the book, Kakashi gave Kuzo a careful once-over.

Kuzo, however, remained unfazed. He smiled gently and said, "Excuse me. You must be the famous Konoha Shinobi, Sharingan Kakashi, right?"

"I'd like to exchange some information for the book in your hand. Is that okay?"

Kuzo got straight to the point, leaving no room for ambiguity.

Kakashi blinked in surprise. **What's going on?**

In recent years, has it become popular to trade intelligence for small adult books? Who is this guy?

After a moment's hesitation, Kakashi raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't know how you recognized me, but... that's a very direct request. However, I'm sorry, I'm not interested in exchanging for information."

Without waiting for further interaction, Kakashi lowered his head and opened the book again, clearly signaling he had no intention of continuing the conversation.

But Kuzo wasn't deterred. He calmly sat down directly at the table across from Kakashi. With a mysterious smile, he said softly, "Then what if I told you that the information is about your... 'best friend'?"

"...Hm?"

Kakashi froze for a moment, then quickly looked up, his brow furrowing. "Is it Guy? Did that guy get into some kind of trouble again?"

The mention of his "best friend" naturally led Kakashi to think of his passionate friend, Might Guy. However, Kuzo shook his head and smiled.

"You guessed wrong. The best friend I'm referring to is the one who once gave you your Sharingan..."

Kuzo leaned forward, his smile growing wider. "His name is... Uchiha Obito."

"?!"

Kakashi's pupils contracted instantly, and he stopped breathing for a split second. The book in his hand tightened in his grip.

"You... what did you say...?!" Kakashi's voice trembled. "Obito?!"

Kakashi's heart raced as he heard that name—the one he had buried deep in his heart. **Obito. Uchiha Obito.**

"Yes." Kuzo nodded, still smiling, as he watched Kakashi's reaction. "So, would you like to exchange for the book now? After all, Kakashi-senpai, I don't think you know that he's still alive, do you?"

"?!"

Kakashi's eyes widened in disbelief. The information Kuzo had just dropped hit him like a bolt of lightning.

Obito... is still alive?
