026 Obito Walks Down the Road of No Return

My name is Uchiha Obito.

Konoha's genius shinobi (or so I think), the man who will become Hokage in the future (or so I think).

There are two people I hate the most in the village right now. One is that arrogant Kakashi, and the other is... this detestable guy!

"So, the mission failed?" Uchiha Fuyou looked at Obito, who was initially dejected but became somewhat annoying the moment he saw him.

Of course, he didn't care. A twelve or thirteen-year-old kid being annoying was normal!

"Completed! Completed!" Obito said impatiently, "When I, this great me, take action, no mission is impossible!"

"Is it a breakup? Dad said there are plenty of fish in the sea, just find another one. No need to be a simp. If you really want to be one, why not learn from someone who simps while also visiting brothels? He's having too much fun to think of anything else! He's in the village right now, want me to arrange for him to take you out for some fun? Don't worry, I'll pay!"

"..." Is this something a person would say?

Obito looked at Uchiha Fuyou speechlessly, he didn't even bother to acknowledge Fuyou's suggestion to call him 'Dad'!

"Who is so disgusting?"

"The world is vast, and there are always a few oddballs. For example, there are people who want to destroy the world just because their girlfriend died! Of course, none of that is important!" Uchiha Fuyou sighed with emotion, shook his head, and looked at Obito, "So, even though the mission was completed, you made a fool of yourself?"

Obito, well~

Before his dark turn, he failed every challenge, not because his strength was insufficient – his strength was okay, not that bad – but there were always unexpected things happening.

After his dark turn... things improved quite a bit. Perhaps it was also due to the transformation from a spirited youth to a truly unhinged one!

The Uchiha Clan's strength is peculiar. They are weak in the early stages, but once you awaken your Sharingan, you become an elite at the same level. For instance, even a genin becomes an elite genin. If the stimulation is too great... good heavens, even if you were a nobody initially, awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan makes you a formidable figure in the Ninja World.

Of course.

Except for his second nephew... he gets beaten up whether his Sharingan awakens or not. Even in the era of tattoos, as long as he shows off, the end result is always getting beaten up!

That guy must be cursed!

"Was it the Fire Style choking you this time, or did a kunai get involved, or did you wet your pants from fear of the enemy?"

"..." This guy is so annoying to talk to!

However.

Uchiha Fuyou ignored the enraged and flailing Obito, instead saying earnestly, "You must remember, you are not without anything. If you can't continue as a shinobi, you can always come back and inherit your father's legacy!"

"You bastard! Who's your son!" Obito said, his face covered in dark lines, "I am the man who will become Hokage!"

If he were a shinobi, I would definitely let him know the power of the genius shinobi Uchiha Obito!

He snorted coldly. He had originally come out to relax after feeling dejected from his return, but now... his mood was even more depressed. He wanted to go challenge that arrogant guy!

Let him understand!

This mission was just him letting him go!

Uchiha Obito snorted coldly, put his hands in his pockets, and with a flick of his head, said, "I'm going back! Boring!"

"Still acting all cool?" Uchiha Fuyou smiled slightly, narrowing his eyes as if thinking of something, and directly pushed his head down, "Want to get stronger?"

He was determined to pat Brother Obito's head.

As the younger brother of the Uchiha Clan head, Uchiha Fuyou felt it was his responsibility to care about the psychological well-being of these orphans.

Help them establish correct views on life, values, and the world. Let them understand that although the world has darkness, it also has light. They must correctly deal with inner sorrow and prevent the tragedy of the Uchiha Clan from happening again.

"If you want to, I'll teach you~"

"..."

Uchiha Obito rolled his eyes, his gaze filled with contempt as he looked at Uchiha Fuyou, as if saying, You?

Just an ordinary person?

"Underestimating me? I was a genius shinobi who graduated even earlier than Kakashi back in the day, I just refused it." Uchiha Fuyou said with an air of seniority, "But I can still teach you!"

"No need!" Uchiha Obito said impatiently, turning to leave.

"Are you still troubled by failure? Still sad about not being able to defeat your love rival? Still confused about not being able to attract the girl you love? Now, just stop for a few minutes and listen patiently to my guidance, and all your troubles, sadness, and confusion will disappear!" Uchiha Fuyou's voice was full of temptation as he spoke slowly, "What are you waiting for? This is your only chance. You don't need to spend any money. Hearing this is earning. Hurry up and come over!"

After he finished speaking.

Obito's shoulders trembled, and he stopped in his tracks, his eyes showing some hesitation.

After all.

He also wanted to become stronger, wanted to defeat Kakashi, and wanted to attract Rin's attention.

But he had no way.

Kakashi was truly a genius!

However.

He felt a bad premonition if he stopped!

As expected, this guy is really annoying!

Just as Obito was struggling, "You're tempted!" Uchiha Fuyou's leisurely voice came again, "Trust me! I was also a genius shinobi back then!"

"..." Uchiha Obito fell silent. He took a deep breath, turned his head to look at Fuyou, and asked earnestly, "You really won't lie to me?"

"Of course~" Uchiha Fuyou revealed a merchant-like smile, the kind that brings in wealth. "I'm a businessman, and integrity has always been my business principle!"

"Then tell me! What are you going to teach me?"

"Don't rush! First, you still need to learn some ninja theory compiled by a certain great shinobi!"

"???"

"I found this in the ruins of the Uchiha family. I was astonished when I saw it! Ordinary people couldn't possibly write such supreme theory. So, I suspect it was passed down by that legendary strongest shinobi from back then."

"You mean..." Obito was shocked!

As an Uchiha, he naturally knew who that shinobi was. Hearing that it wasn't something this guy made up himself, but a secret manual left by that strongest Uchiha, he became even more excited.

But Fuyou covered his mouth and seriously shushed him, saying sternly, "Now, please listen to me slowly!"

Seeing Obito also become serious, he released him and spoke with a voice like a green pine, deep and slow, "Kunai smeared with shit, God of Shinobi alive, barehanded pluck eggs, Six Paths in distress, explosive kill the anus, Tailed Beasts suffer, poke his lower parts, fall and wail, spit in the mouth, celestial descent, don't talk too much, guaranteed to win."

He finished in one go!

Then, he looked at the dumbfounded Obito with satisfaction. "Got it?"

As soon as he finished speaking.

"..." Obito snapped back to reality, his face covered in black lines. He directly pushed Fuyou's hand away. "I'm such an idiot for believing you!"

How could a legendary shinobi possibly say such things?

That was someone who could fight the God of Shinobi, the First Hokage! How could he say such vulgar words!

It was definitely a lie!

"I'm going back!"

"Don't disbelieve me! That really is the secret technique left by him. That's how I became a genius shinobi back then. It's just that you don't understand its profound meaning yet. Just remember it! One day, you'll understand its ultimate principles and become a genius shinobi like me!"

However.

How could Fuyou let him go now? Since he couldn't cultivate him into a prodigal son or a shut-in otaku, he would cultivate him into a hooligan.

As long as his mindset was strong enough, he wouldn't collapse when facing despair!

He spoke again, earnestly. "Back then, he also left behind a complementary ultimate forbidden jutsu, but its lethality was too great, and it couldn't be used easily." His bewitching voice sounded again. "Want to learn? If you want to learn, I'll teach you!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

Uchiha Obito indeed stopped in his tracks, looking at Fuyou with doubt and longing. He was silent for a moment. "Really... really?"

"Really! I can teach you! But you must remember... not to use it easily!"

"Okay!" It seemed so serious, it probably wasn't a lie!

Under Obito's expectant gaze, Fuyou clasped his hands together, crossed them, and then quickly extended his index and middle fingers, as well as his thumbs, interlocking them.

"Tiger Seal, I remember this! The starting hand sign for powerful ninjutsu!"

Obito was excited.

It was real!

Fuyou nodded with relief. "A promising student!" he said, his tone changing again, becoming stern. "Now watch carefully, you must remember it!"

As soon as he finished speaking!

Obito stared intently.

Then.

Uchiha Fuyou formed the Tiger Seal with his hands, then quickly thrust upwards, retracted his hands, and smiled at Obito. "Did you learn it?"

"..."

Learn what, for crying out loud!
