Obito: I Get It

What's wrong with a child being a little chubby?

Fuyou really couldn't understand his older brother. He'd come over with a dark face over such a trivial matter and scold him.

With this time... wouldn't it be better to spend it at home with his children?

He sighed with emotion, "So, this Uchiha clan head is too irresponsible!"

"A child really can't eat too much of that stuff," Rin said softly, pursing her lips. "Fuyou, how could you do that?"

Fuyou sometimes did these kinds of confusing things.

"I just want them to have a happy and complete childhood," Fuyou said, spreading his hands and shrugging. "Fugaku is too tsundere. He cares about his children but doesn't know how to express his feelings, never says anything, and doesn't even hit his kids. I'm very worried about Itachi's healthy growth."

"..."

The people in front understood, but...

Rin looked at him with some confusion. "If I recall correctly, why would you hit a child?"

"It's all for the child's own good!"

"...Sometimes I don't understand Fuyou's ideas either!" Rin gave a helpless smile but didn't ask any more about it. After a moment of thought, she changed the subject. "The things you asked me to prepare, have they all been prepared? What should we do next?"

"Everything's ready?" Fuyou blinked in surprise, then smiled and nodded, stretching. "Oh right, are the flyers done too?"

"They're done. Just as you requested, they say 'Chunin Exams Big Discount.' Shinobi from any village can get a 20% discount with their forehead protector. It's just... we just opened not long ago, and doing this again, won't we lose money?"

"Don't worry~, we won't lose money!" Uchiha Fuyou narrowed his eyes slightly and stood up. "Then let's go take a look together!"

"Okay!"

How to put it... He had spent a lot of money to open up this path, so he definitely had to advertise as much as possible everywhere he could.

If the main entrance didn't have to display Konoha's welcome message, he would have even wanted to hang a huge banner to cover the entire entrance.

Therefore, that idea had to be temporarily abandoned.

But in every corner of Konoha, or in nearby shops and houses, he had hung eye-catching advertisements for Fuyou Grill and Milk Tea.

He had even advertised the free napkins, chairs, tables... and the public restrooms.

After checking everything, he had to say... money really is a good thing, isn't it?

With the Third Hokage's approval, he could then go to the Hokage Building and post some D-rank missions, and shinobi would diligently complete them for him.

The shinobi of this era had quite good credibility, especially those from the Five Great Shinobi Villages. As long as the missions were reasonable, they would do their best to complete them once they accepted.

So.

Boss Fuyou checked everything, felt very satisfied, and then specially invited them to Fuyou Grill for a meal.

With most of the preparations done, all that was left was to wait for the Chunin Exams to arrive.

After dinner, it was getting late. As a diligent and warm-hearted boss, Uchiha Fuyou was now sending his secretary home.

The two walked side-by-side quietly under the moonlight.

Rin occasionally glanced at Fuyou, who was deep in thought beside her, a faint smile playing on her lips. Suddenly... Uchiha Fuyou stopped, looking ahead with a look of stomach pain, which made Rin pause, a hint of worry in her eyes. "What's wrong?"

As she spoke.

She also looked up and gazed into the distance...

A young boy was clenching his fists with a look of sadness on his face, staring straight ahead. Those eyes...

"He's awakened it?!"

Sharingan?

Uchiha Obito?

It's just...

Why does Fuyou look like he has a stomachache?

Time shifted back a little.

As night approached.

Minato's team returned to the village after completing their mission.

"Then I'll go and report the mission first. You guys... take a few days to rest," Minato said with a helpless smile at the expectant trio.

Since he couldn't stop them from participating in the Chunin Exams, as their teacher, he could only cheer them on.

"That's great, Teacher Minato!"

"Teacher Minato, you should also rest."

"Mhm!"

After the three children responded happily, Minato felt a sense of relief. He hesitated for a moment, then looked at Obito's departing back and suddenly called out, "Obito, wait a moment."

"What is it, Teacher Minato?" Obito seemed a little impatient. He turned around and ran back. "I just invited Rin to go for milk tea!"

As seen in the banner just now, "I just want to hold you in my hands." What a beautiful advertisement~

Suddenly, he felt an urge to ask Rin to go for milk tea alone.

Why were there so many milk tea advertisements this time?

Oh, there were also advertisements for the grill.

What was going on with the Hokage?

He actually let Konoha be plastered with advertisements everywhere?!

That guy... he's so detestable!

Uchiha Obito sighed inwardly with helplessness, then looked at Minato curiously. "Teacher Minato, is there something you need me to do?"

"It's nothing much." Seeing his student's budding friendship, Minato also smiled. "Did Rin agree?"

"No!" Obito said dejectedly. "I feel like Rin has changed recently. She used to hang out with me all the time."

"Heh heh."

That ninjutsu of yours... girls would definitely be scared if they saw it!

It's too terrifying!

Minato gave a wry laugh and didn't say much more. Instead, he took a deep breath, looked at Obito, and said earnestly, "If possible, please don't use that ninjutsu during the Chunin Exams this time."

"Huh?" Obito was confused. "Why?"

"It... it has a bad impression!" Minato sighed and patted Obito. "That ninjutsu isn't a proper ninjutsu. It's best if you don't use it, Obito!"

"I... alright." Obito nodded.

Actually, he thought the same. Even though it was inherited from a legendary Uchiha powerhouse, it really didn't look like a proper ninjutsu. Sometimes it made his hands stink and left him covered in dirt.

And ever since that incident with Might Guy...

He realized that although he had gained respect, he had also lost some... friends.

Everyone didn't joke around with him like before.

So.

If he didn't need to use it, he wouldn't.

Obito proudly lifted his head and said with a smile, "I'm going to be Hokage! It's just a ninjutsu, so it's fine if I don't use it."

"I believe in you, Obito!" Minato smiled and nodded. "You will definitely become an amazing shinobi." With Obito's promise, he felt relieved.

After all, for the Chunin Exams... if Obito acted recklessly, he, as the jonin leader, would be quite embarrassed.

"Then I'll be going now. Obito, keep up the good work~"

With that said.

He disappeared with a Shunshin right before Obito's eyes.

Obito shrugged and didn't say anything. A smile played on his lips as he stretched and muttered, "Since Rin isn't going, I'll go home too. I haven't seen Grandma in a long time, I wonder how she's doing."

Is she still going dancing every day?

He turned and happily ran towards home.

However.

He hadn't run far.

He suddenly stopped in his tracks, staring blankly ahead.

Rin?!

And Kakashi?!

They were walking into Ichiraku Ramen together!

Rin refused to go for milk tea with him, but why was she going for ramen with Kakashi?

He could go for ramen too!

Why did she refuse him just now?

He stood there blankly, looking ahead.

The autumn wind blew gently, caressing the figure standing there, blankly gazing at the Ichiraku Ramen stall.

Under the gaze of passersby.

The somewhat youthful figure seemed particularly desolate.

"Why?!" Obito's face was filled with sadness, and tears seemed to well up uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes as he muttered repeatedly, "Why? Why?"

The three consecutive questions of life.

Suddenly.

He remembered how distant Rin had been towards him recently.

Already.

Was it destiny?

A wave of sadness washed over him.

His eyes suddenly throbbed with pain.

Obito quickly covered his eye, but he kept his gaze fixed on Ichiraku Ramen.

He stood there silently.

In that moment.

He felt as if he had understood.

[No woman in my heart, my ninjutsu will be divine!]
