" Kakashi, you've disappointed me greatly."

I originally thought that your imitation of Uchiha Obito Past, always being late to help old ladies cross the street, was genuine.

I never imagined you were just indulging your own obsession with reminiscing about old friends!

You lack the quality of loving the elderly; you have lost the Will of Fire!

Tobirama Senju heard Kakashi say this, he suddenly started putting on a hat.

Although the Third Hokage criticized Orochimaru, saying that the Impure World Reincarnation was an evil forbidden technique that disturbed the dead.

but.

First of all, the Third Hokage wouldn't dare say that in front of the Second Hokage.

Secondly, there was a condition for him to say that: it was because Orochimaru controlled the people Impure World Reincarnation through the Impure World Reincarnation technique.

The current Impure World Reincarnation ) has no constraints on the target; it's simply a return to the mortal realm to enjoy happiness.

In this situation, whether or not the Impure World Reincarnation: Release is lifted is irrelevant.

There is no such thing as "death is a cool summer night, a time for carefree sleep."

The "peaceful sleep" in the Pure Land is like being under general anesthesia; there is no conscious awareness whatsoever.

Therefore, leaving Obito's grandmother in the Shinobi World is not a bad thing; on the contrary, it provides an extra safety net.

For Uchiha Obito, there were only a few important people in his life.

The most important one, of course, is Lin.

But what if?

What if it's just one straw that breaks the camel's back?

As a result, Kakashi, simply to avoid embarrassment, suggested undoing Obito's Impure World Reincarnation. That was incredibly irresponsible!

Kakashi sacrificed his reputation, but didn't he and his older brother sacrifice themselves?

Hashirama, just emerged from the Kamui Space covered in filth in front of everyone.

Anyone who didn't know better would think that the eldest brother's Wood Release also needed fertilizer to nourish it.

Kakashi is truly unworthy of being the future Sixth Hokage; he's such a disappointment.

She's not even as good as Grandma Chiyo from the next village.

" Second, please stop. I love being old, okay? I don't want to be buried."

However, I would still like to ask you all to let me do you a favor.

I'm not asking everyone to go easy on Obito, but I have this eye, making me the most suitable person to counter him.

Kakashi quickly changed the subject.

If he continues like this, he'll be criticized as utterly worthless.

He really wanted to ask in return, "Is this how you show love?"

How can he ever face the concept of respecting the elderly and caring for the young again?

But he couldn't really voice his complaints.

If he were to voice his complaints, wouldn't that confirm that Kakashi was born to be this way?

You can't even get the wrong idea from that.

"That's what you should be saying."

Tobirama Senju satisfaction, giving his approval. "You're right, you are indeed the most suitable person to counter him. So, do you have any specific ideas on how to counter him?"

"Well..."

Kakashi hesitated.

How to counter this?

His first thought was to use Kamui to move Konoha's septic tank again.

But the idea was quickly rejected.

First, Konoha's septic tanks have been damaged multiple times and are no longer sufficient.

If this continues, the farmers will all come after Kakashi because they don't have enough fertilizer.

Secondly, Obito recently used the Shido Rinnegan on himself to counter Izanami, so he might not care about these things at all now.

"I'll take this guy to where he needs to be first, then you can brainstorm and discuss it."

Tobirama Senju Obito with a high-pressure water Water Release, washing him clean. He then hoisted Obito onto his shoulder, uttered a single sentence, and vanished using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Shirozumi and the others didn't stay either, and returned to Amegakure.

Kakashi, feeling helpless, thought that having more people meant more inspiration, so he called everyone from Konoha over.

only...

Kakashi looked at the arriving crowd and noticed that one person was missing.

"Where's Shikamaru?"

Kakashi was puzzled.

Why isn't Shikamaru, the smartest of the younger generation, here?

"Uh, Kakashi-sensei, have you forgotten? Shikamaru won the Nara Clan's match last time and gained the permanent right to 'slack off'."

Choji Akimichi muttered to himself while holding a bag of potato chips.

"..."

Permanent "give up" privileges—sound amazing, doesn't it?

Kakashi suddenly felt a pang of envy.

"This is troublesome. Without Shikamaru, we've lost one of our most important strategists... By the way, Shikamaru got 'permanent slacking-off privileges'..."

It's not about "having to abuse your privileges," right?

Choji, as Shikamaru's teammates, why don't you go talk to him and ask him for some advice?

Kakashi turned his gaze to Choji and Ino.

"I can't do it. Actually, I left the Ino-Shika-Cho trio a long time ago."

Ino waved her hand, declining.

"... Well."

Kakashi was speechless.

What kind of band is Ino-Shika-Cho? Can they disband?

" Kakashi-sensei, what you said went too far."

Choji tossed the last potato chip into his mouth, wiped his greasy hands on his clothes, and glared at Kakashi with displeasure.

"Ah?"

Kakashi was puzzled. How had he gone too far this time? Had he inadvertently uttered the taboo word "fatty"?

"Don't we have a solution without Shikamaru?"

Choji stood with his hands on his hips, head held high and chest puffed out.

Choji also harbored some resentment towards Shikamaru.

Ino was the first to leave the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.

Ino initially didn't think much of it; with Choji gone, he wouldn't get scolded by Ino, and he could play with Shikamaru without any worries.

But to my surprise, Shikamaru also ran away.

Having gained the permanent right to slack off, Shikamaru naturally no longer needed to go on any missions with him.

Shikamaru is supported by his entire family, which Choji greatly envies.

After the Nara Clan's last competition, Choji suggested that the Akimichi Clan also start a competitive eating contest, where the winner could permanently enjoy any food for free.

They were supported by other members of the Akimichi Clan.

This is an attempt to emulate the Nara Clan and create a replica.

However, the Akimichi Clan's competition went terribly.

The main reason is that Choji couldn't find Shikamaru, who was giving up, so he couldn't ask about the specific details of the match.

The Nara Clan can organize a competition perfectly, but the Akimichi Clan cannot.

Choji wanted to ask, but couldn't find anyone, and in the end, a major flaw was discovered in the competition.

They forgot to specify that only Akimichi Clan could participate in the competitive eating contest they held, resulting in an outsider winning the final victory.

To save face, they had no choice but to keep their promise, and from now on, Hinata's meals would be paid for by the Akimichi Clan.

Not only did he not get the permanent unlimited free food privileges, but he also lost face, Choji harbors a deep resentment towards Shikamaru.

" Kakashi-sensei, Choji is actually right. Without Shikamaru, are we all fools? I've already thought of a solution."

Ino suddenly spoke up.

"Oh? What method?"

Kakashi's eyes were full of anticipation.
