"???"

Young Shisui blinked, but then he saw the book.

The Tale of the Resolute Shinobi

By: Traveling Toad

"Lord Jiraiya wrote this?"

"That's right." Fuyou nodded with a smile. "I found it very inspiring, and I believe Shisui can gain something from it as well."

What's the point of reading those meaningless books?

It's better to read these meaningless books; at least they're enjoyable!

Like Kakashi... it's precisely because Icha Icha Paradise was his companion, allowing him to indulge himself alone in the quiet of the night, that he didn't turn to the dark side!

"Thank you, Lord Fuyou." Shisui smiled gratefully. "I will definitely cherish it!"

A book written by Lord Jiraiya... I must read it carefully!

"Good! Truly worthy of being Shisui! With you and Itachi... the Crouching Dragon and the Hidden Phoenix, the Uchiha Clan's future is bright!"

Fuyou laughed heartily with relief. Feeling someone tugging at him, he turned his head in confusion and looked at Minato, who was wearing a strange mask with a smiling sun. "What is it?"

"A child that young reading Lord Jiraiya's books..." Minato lowered his voice and said, "Isn't that inappropriate!"

As Lord Jiraiya's student, he naturally knew what kind of books Jiraiya wrote~

Don't be fooled by the proper-sounding titles; the content... is actually quite improper.

"Don't worry, this is a proper novel this time!" Uchiha Fuyou promised with a smile. "I've already reviewed it."

It only has a few... indescribable scenes, nothing major.

Kids in the Ninja World mature faster!

They start thinking about world peace at four or five years old, so what's wrong with reading a different kind of book?

Perhaps... chakra has a ripening effect?

As he spoke, he took out another book from his pocket and handed it to Minato. "Here, this one's specially saved for you!"

Fuyou's bookstore printed them, so they printed quite a lot.

Now his businesses could be divided into... the system-backed milk tea shops and barbecue joints, as well as the bookstore he built himself and the mahjong parlor he planned to build.

The ones he built himself didn't have system upgrades, so they lacked special abilities.

Of course, perhaps in the future... they might connect with the system's industries?

Anyway, these don't cost much money now, and expanding industries is always good.

Looking at Minato, whose eyes were wide staring at the book and whose ears were slightly red, he said with a smile, "How is it, Lord Jiraiya's new book this time, isn't it good!"

As for his face... hidden by the mask, nothing could be seen at the moment.

"G-good." Minato's exposed eyes flickered. He glanced at Kushina beside him and nodded, saying calmly, "V-very good! Lord Jiraiya's books are getting better and better."

Touching girls' bodies and peeking at them bathing at such a young age, he, Minato Namikaze, must strongly criticize this!

However.

Can children really read this?

At this moment.

Obito and his opponent entered the stage. Then, under everyone's gaze, his opponent... gave a slight bow and hurriedly ran off.

"Kusagakure shinobi forfeits. Winner: Konoha's Uchiha Obito!"

"..."

The audience on the scene was stunned.

Why did that Kusagakure shinobi forfeit without even fighting? Was he even a shinobi? Also... why was his posture so strange when he walked off?

Did he walk off with his butt clenched?

His body seemed to be trembling?

Could it be that this Uchiha Obito was an extremely powerful shinobi?

Of course... some shinobi who understood what was going on sighed and said nothing about it.

There was no need.

It was just a mere Chunin preliminary exam.

If they were publicly humiliated like that... wouldn't that be social death?

Therefore, the next scene unfolded.

Whenever Obito stepped onto the stage... his opponent would immediately forfeit without hesitation, walking off with their butt clenched. Even Konoha shinobi did the same.

Many people went from initial bewilderment to shock!

They looked in disbelief at the black-haired Konoha shinobi standing proudly in the dueling arena.

Konoha's genius!

Even another Konoha genius, Kakashi, surrendered?!

It seems he's not just any ordinary genius shinobi!

Could he be a genius like the Konoha's Legendary Sannin?

"Konoha... truly a cradle of geniuses~"

Many people were immediately convinced and sighed with admiration.

Even Kushina couldn't help but stifle a giggle!

Beside her, Minato let out an awkward laugh, feeling uncomfortable all over, but also somewhat relieved. This is for the best. At least there won't be any accidents.

He remembered what the medical ninja had said a few days ago... He sighed inwardly and muttered to himself, "Could Obito really be having problems?"

It seems I need to find some time to have a good talk with Obito!

"What's wrong? Did the clan take a liking to him?" Uchiha Fuyou asked, looking at Fugaku, who was frowning and staring intently at Obito. "Are you planning to train him?"

As he spoke.

Uchiha Fugaku snapped back to attention, glanced at Fuyou indifferently, then turned back, looking down with a complex expression. He sighed and shook his head. "No!"

"Hm? Why?" Isn't the Uchiha clan keen on nurturing talent?

Like, later on, Shisui and Itachi.

Just.

There was a slight accident.

With Obito awakening his Sharingan now, he's considered a genius among the Uchiha!

However.

Fugaku didn't turn around this time. With his arms crossed, his expressionless face said leisurely, "He's too easily offended!"

"..."

That's true!

Uchiha Fuyou gave an awkward chuckle. He was also worried now that Obito might, like Uchiha Madara, walk down a terrifying path due to a lack of understanding.

Madara: I want to create a world of peace without shinobi.

Obito: I want to create a world where people can live freely and with pride.

His ambition suddenly seemed several notches lower!

Silence fell around them as they watched the scene below.

It seems.

After today, Obito is going to become famous!

If he also gains achievements on the battlefield through his own skills... this era might become the era of Obito and his master, Minato!

"Brother Minato has trained an incredible student!"

Minato rolled his eyes. "Heh."

This really wasn't taught by me!

And at this moment.

It was Uchiha Obito's turn again.

His opponent was Yugito Nii from Kumogakure.

A youthful girl with brown hair, whom he had seen before at the barbecue place.

However.

Just as everyone expected this girl to be intimidated by the Uchiha prodigy's strength and back down like the others, "Shameless! Lewd! Pervert!" Yugito glared at Obito, "I, Yugito, will definitely defeat you!"

Suddenly.

Everyone erupted in cheers.

When others were retreating, someone actually stepped forward to face the challenge. How incredible!

Even the Cloud Shinobi were stunned!

As for the Uchiha prodigy—Uchiha Obito, while surprised that a girl had the courage to face him with both hands, his mind was now solely on Rin, having cleared up the misunderstanding. He snorted, "A mere Cloud Shinobi! I'll defeat you with just one hand!"

As he spoke.

With one hand...

This made Yugito's face turn bright red with anger. "Shameless! Have the shinobi of Konoha fallen so low! I will never lose to someone like you!"

At this moment.

The teammates on Konoha's side panicked.

"Obito-sama! Lord Tsuchi finds it hard not to fight with women, so why not just let him use both hands!"

Doing that in broad daylight... and it's a woman... This is bad.

Even they will suffer!

Uchiha Fuyou sighed with emotion. He looked at Minato, who had fallen silent beside him, then at his hair, as conspicuous and golden as the sun. He patted Minato's shoulder and hesitated, "If it's really necessary... how about dyeing your hair!"

"...Get lost!"

Seriously! Throw me some votes! They're pitifully few. This result is so bad it hurts my stomach, I'm begging for votes! A failed author is begging for votes online! Sigh~
