"Obito, I knew you and I were the same kind of person. Put it on, and afterward, let's have a trial of youth!"

Under Might Guy's expectant gaze, Obito's face went deathly pale with fright.

He had originally wanted to watch Kakashi make a fool of himself, but he never expected to get burned so quickly. Just imagining himself accepting and putting on an outfit like that made Obito feel sick enough to throw up.

At this moment, Kakashi offered the assist. "Put it on. Don't disappoint Guy!"

Chiga delivered the finishing blow. "Yeah, and let Rin see what you look like when you're giving your all to youth!"

Obito swallowed hard and glanced around at everyone. Might Guy was grinning, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth that glittered in the sunlight. His eyes were filled with anticipation.

Chiga and Kakashi, meanwhile, both wore malicious expressions. Needless to say, they were just waiting to watch him make a fool of himself.

As for the only person who could save him, Rin was surprisingly wearing a curious expression as well, seemingly wanting to see Obito's heroic appearance in the skintight suit.

However, Obito understood that once he put on this outfit, he would be incompatible with not only Rin, but every woman in the world.

"I just remembered that my grandma is waiting for me at home for dinner, so I'll head back first~"

Under such a powerful threat, Obito performed beyond his usual limits. He first used the Body Flicker Technique to escape everyone's encirclement, then ran toward the Uchiha Clan Grounds at top speed.

"Obito, you haven't given Kakashi your gift yet!"

Rin called out to Obito, but he didn't even turn his head. In the blink of an eye, he vanished from everyone's sight.

"Yo, if this kid had been this fast during the exam, he wouldn't have ended up at the bottom of the class!"

Even Chiga was shocked by Obito's speed. It seemed that Might Guy's outfit really did have tremendous destructive power.

At this moment, Sarutobi Asuma, Yuhi Kurenai, Shizune, and the others arrived as well.

Negative emotions from Yuhi Kurenai, Emotion Points +20!

"."

Chiga glanced at Yuhi Kurenai speechlessly. So many days had passed, yet he hadn't expected Kurenai to still hold a grudge against him.

Sarutobi Asuma entered Kakashi's house and looked around. When he didn't see Obito, he immediately sneered, "Where's Obito? Is he late again? That guy couldn't even catch shit while it was still hot."

Rin explained to Sarutobi Asuma, "Obito already left."

Sarutobi Asuma asked in surprise, "He left? That doesn't sound like him!"

Chiga glanced at Might Guy, who had already entered a state of negative pressure, then smiled at Asuma. "He was probably scared off."

"All right."

Sarutobi Asuma couldn't be bothered to ask any further about Obito. He took out a beautifully wrapped long box and handed it to Kakashi.

"Kakashi, sorry I'm late. I was in a hurry, so I could only casually pick out a short sword from my old man's collection. I heard it was made by a master from the Land of Craftsmen. It's not that expensive, just around a million ryo!"

The air of a rich heir radiated from Asuma's words. After he finished speaking, he even cast a smug glance at Chiga, as if saying, I may not be able to beat you in a fight, but you definitely don't have more money than me!

At that moment, he felt that he had finally surpassed Chiga.

At the same time, he deliberately glanced at Yuhi Kurenai. Seeing her with her mouth slightly open and an expression of disbelief on her face, he became even more satisfied.

This gift had been worth it. Not only had he vented his frustrations in front of his rival, but he had also displayed his lavish, spend-money-like-water style in front of the girl he loved.

He figured it should be enough to restore his relationship with Kurenai to what it had been.

After enjoying everyone's admiring gazes, Asuma continued, "Ahem, Kakashi, I know this short sword still can't compare to your father Sakumo's White Fang, but make do with it for now. Once you become a jōnin, I'll pick something more expensive—cough, I mean, something better—from my old man's collection for you."

"Then thank you for the gift, Asuma!"

Even Kakashi was somewhat stunned by Sarutobi Asuma's generosity.

A gift this expensive... Surely the Third Hokage didn't know about it.

If he did, Asuma would probably be strung up and beaten!

After thinking it over, Kakashi reached out and accepted Sarutobi Asuma's gift. "Thank you for the gift, Asuma. I like it very much!"

He got beaten by the Third Hokage. What does that have to do with me, Kakashi?

After Kakashi accepted Sarutobi Asuma's gift, everyone else also took out their presents and gave them to him.

Compared with Sarutobi Asuma's extravagance, the others were far less outrageous. They were all ordinary things.

When it was Chiga's turn, he stepped forward and placed the book in Kakashi's hands, then whispered in his ear, "You must open the contents only after making sure you're completely alone."

Chiga said this because he was afraid Kakashi might open it on the spot. After all, everyone else had said what their gifts were when presenting them.

If Kakashi opened the thing Chiga had given him right there, Kakashi would still have the chance to refuse it righteously, but Chiga, the person who had given him the gift, would definitely die socially.

Even more terrifyingly, what if Hatake Sakumo discovered that Chiga had given Kakashi an erotic magazine?

The consequences were unimaginable.

Kakashi froze, stopping the hand that had been about to unwrap the package. He asked curiously, "What's inside?"

Chiga smiled mysteriously. "Sorry, but let me keep it a secret for now. However, I can guarantee that none of the gifts everyone here gave you will suit you as much as mine does!"

"Really?"

Kakashi looked at Chiga strangely. Strictly speaking, he and Chiga weren't very familiar with each other.

More accurately, aside from Might Guy, he wasn't very familiar with anyone present.

Still, he was deeply moved that so many people had come to celebrate his promotion to chūnin.

And Chiga was actually so confident that his gift would definitely suit Kakashi?

Kakashi grew even more curious.

"Tch, acting mysterious. I bet you're just too embarrassed to say what it is, right?"

Sarutobi Asuma had been staring at Chiga's gift the whole time. Seeing that Kakashi still hadn't opened it, he immediately mocked him.

Chiga rolled his eyes at Sarutobi Asuma but didn't bother arguing with the little brat.

"Kakashi, listen to me. Open it when you're alone!"

Chiga once again gave Kakashi a solemn reminder.

Seeing this, Kakashi suppressed his curiosity. Since the person giving the gift had said so, he couldn't refuse to show him that much respect.

"I humbly thank everyone for the gifts. Please come inside with me and have a cup of hot tea."

After Chiga finished giving his gift, Kakashi bowed to everyone in thanks, then led them inside.

Following Kakashi, Chiga looked around. Even in the living room, quite a few Samurai Swords were displayed along the walls.

There were long ones and short ones, and even several greatswords.

"These are all my father's collection."

Seeing Chiga's curiosity, Kakashi explained.

Chiga nodded thoughtfully. "Is that so? It seems your father really liked Samurai Swords."

"Yes. My family used to be a samurai family. It was only in my father's generation that we became shinobi."

"Is that so?" Chiga fell silent, while his mind continued to race.
