The Book Is Too Much for You to Handle

After saying goodbye to Uchiha Shisui, the two of them walked out of the Uchiha Clan Grounds together.

Obito had not seemed anxious before, but the moment they left the clan grounds, he started walking with the wind at his back. It seemed that now he was about to meet his goddess, his heart had begun to stir.

Seeing this, Chiga could only quicken his pace as well.

The two of them soon arrived at the place where Obito and Rin had agreed to meet.

"Obito, you're here!"

Rin did not complain at all even though Obito had only just arrived. She merely smiled at Chiga and said, "Chiga, are you also going to buy a gift with us?"

"Yeah. I need your help deciding what gift to give Kakashi!"

Chiga said this without any ulterior thoughts about the young girl. He simply felt that being around Rin was like bathing in a spring breeze.

"When giving a gift, what matters most is the thought behind it. I think Kakashi will be happy no matter what we give him."

As she spoke, Rin led Chiga and Obito toward the street.

Along the way, Obito kept circling around Rin.

Obito asked curiously, "Rin, what kind of gift are you planning to give Kakashi?"

"I'm planning to buy Kakashi a Ninja Tool Pouch. I saw a hole in his pouch when I ran into him a few days ago. That could cause trouble on the battlefield."

"You ran into him a few days ago? Was it a chance encounter, or did you do it on purpose?"

Obito's attention had already shifted from the gift to something else.

"Oh, what are you thinking about, Obito? Of course it was a chance encounter. Kakashi is usually busy with missions."

"Oh, right. That makes sense. That guy Kakashi only knows how to do missions. He doesn't even come to catch up with us when he gets back."

Chiga followed behind Obito and Rin without joining their conversation.

He had merely thought of something.

Since Kakashi had been promoted to chūnin, did that mean his father, Hatake Sakumo, was also approaching the time when things would go wrong?

In the original story, the timing of Hatake Sakumo's suicide was described rather vaguely, but it was probably around the time Kakashi became a chūnin.

Now that Kakashi had already become a chūnin and Hatake Sakumo was still full of life, it seemed the incident would happen after Kakashi's promotion.

At that thought, an idea appeared in Chiga's mind.

Could I change Hatake Sakumo's fate and use it to influence the Konoha Higher-Ups, thereby improving the Uchiha clan's situation?

At this moment, Hatake Sakumo's reputation in Konoha was at its peak, and he was a powerful candidate to become the next Hokage.

His prestige was even greater than that of the three disciples of Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Chiga did not know much about Hatake Sakumo.

However, everyone in the village, including the Uchiha, felt that Hatake Sakumo was not only a powerful shinobi but also an extremely upright person.

The fact that even members of the Uchiha clan said Hatake Sakumo was a good man made Chiga think that he probably held no prejudice against the Uchiha clan. For Chiga, that was enough.

Among the current Konoha Higher-Ups, having no prejudice was already the greatest kindness they could show the Uchiha.

So Chiga decided to give it a try and see whether he could save Hatake Sakumo's life.

Of course, that meant finding out the real reason behind Hatake Sakumo's suicide.

But there had been a mountain of conspiracy theories about Hatake Sakumo's suicide in his previous life!

Chiga did not know whether he should believe any of them.

If there really was some extremely dark conspiracy involved, Chiga would not get involved.

"Chiga, what are you thinking about?"

As Chiga was thinking, a small hand waved in front of him.

"Oh, sorry. Have you two already bought your gifts?"

Hearing Rin Nohara's words, Chiga came back to his senses and realized that Obito and Rin had already bought the gifts they intended to give Kakashi. He was the only one still empty-handed.

"Rin and I have already picked out our gifts. Only yours is left."

Obito lifted the gift box in his hand as he spoke.

"Ah, I was hoping to have Rin help me choose."

Chiga looked around and happened to spot a bookstore. His eyes lit up as he realized what he should give Kakashi.

"Rin, Obito, wait here for me."

After saying this to the two of them, he ran toward the bookstore.

After entering, Chiga first observed where the various types of books were displayed.

When he found the section containing certain indescribable books, he looked around and noticed that no one was paying attention. Only then did he hurry over.

Kakashi liked reading Make-Out Paradise, the erotic novel written by the lecherous old man Jiraiya of Konoha's Sannin.

Chiga did not know exactly how explicit the book was, and at this point in time, Jiraiya had not written it yet.

After thinking it over, Chiga decided to go all the way and simply buy Kakashi a pornographic book.

Among the dazzling selection, Chiga picked a book whose cover featured a tall woman with an impressive bust.

As for her clothing, well, there were only a few transparent strips of fabric, so there was no need to describe them one by one.

Since Kakashi liked Make-Out Paradise, he would probably enjoy this sort of thing too.

After choosing the gift, Chiga went to the counter to pay.

"Little boy, are you sure you want to buy this book?"

When the bookstore owner saw Chiga take out the book, his expression turned serious. Then he slowly revealed a strange smile.

Under the owner's suggestive gaze, Chiga could only smile awkwardly. "It's for a friend!"

"I understand! I understand! But, little boy, I personally think this book is too much for you to handle as a first purchase. You should buy a few books from the romance series first. Here, I recommend—"

"Thank you so much! I'll take this one."

Chiga interrupted the bookstore owner with a dark expression and said bluntly that he wanted this book. Besides, it was not as if he could not handle it.

Moreover, in his previous life, books like this were not even enough to serve as introductory education. How could they possibly satisfy him?

As for whether Kakashi would become addicted and unable to pull himself away, that was not Chiga's concern.

After paying, Chiga looked at the book's cover and said to the bookstore owner, "Boss, could you do me a favor and wrap it for me?"

If he took it out like this and Obito and Rin saw it, he would die of embarrassment.

Seeing how cautious Chiga was, the bookstore owner immediately assumed this was not his first time. He let out a long sigh and said:

"Little boy, you can rest assured. I guarantee no one will find out that you bought this book! But you still need to take care of your body. You're at an age when you're still growing, so don't get too addicted. Your uncle here made that mistake too, which is why I ended up with this short, squat body. Ah, it brings tears to my eyes just talking about it!"

"..."

Chiga was too exhausted to complain anymore. He took the wrapped book and left the bookstore.

Obito curiously came over and looked at the tightly wrapped book in Chiga's hands. "Chiga, what book did you buy for Kakashi?"

"Nothing much. A book about human anatomy. Kakashi is already a chūnin, so it's time he learned about the important parts of the human body. That way, he'll be more efficient at killing enemies!"

Is anyone reading this? How come there isn't a single comment?
