The Noob and the Fierce One

They seem to have forgotten that they came to this store specifically to look at the decor.

Soon, a waiter led them to a private room.

The traveling merchants who come to the village are one of the main customers of these nightclubs.

Aside from traveling merchants, only the village's ninjas could afford the cost of living here.

Uchiha Obito walked along with the crowd.

As he turned a corner, a young girl who had just changed her clothes came out of the workshop and happened to see him.

The girl was taken aback at first, then her eyes lit up!

She was about to call out to them, but then she stopped herself, instead remembering the waiter who was Uchiha Obito and the others to the private room.

Standing in the aisle, she waited patiently. After a while, she finally saw the waiter and quickly called out, "Kansuke, were the customers from earlier all together?"

"Yes," said the waitress named Kansuke. "Aoi, do you have something you like?"

"Mmm-hmm!" Xiao Kui nodded repeatedly. "Don't rush to bring people over yet. I'll go talk to my sister first."

After saying that, she ran off in a flash.

In a private room, Uchiha Obito sat on the sofa, ignoring the noisy surroundings. He picked up a glass filled with a multicolored liquid, took a sip, and savored the feeling of the liquid slowly sinking.

Choosing to become a descendant of the Senju Clan was a decision I had carefully considered.

The disbandment of the Senju Clan was a major event in the Ninja World at the time.

Opinions vary.

Some say it was because of the heavy losses suffered in the First Shinobi World War.

Some say it was a conspiracy by vested interest groups after the new Hokage of Leaf Village took office.

Some say that the experiments were inhumane and resulted in the loss of all the able-bodied men, leaving only the elderly, women, and children, so the organization had to be disbanded.

Anyway, nobody believes that the Senju Clan simply didn't want to continue in this circle.

In the twenty years leading up to the Second Shinobi World War, a large number of so-called Senju Clan descendants emerged in the Ninja World, some of whom even joined shinobi villages outside of Leaf Village.

However, the Senju of the Forest are different from the Uchiha Clan. The Uchiha Clan are easy to identify, but the Senju of the Forest are truly difficult to identify.

Because the Senju of the Forest is neither a clan specializing in secret techniques nor a clan with a bloodline limit; its defining characteristic is its extensive knowledge of Ninjutsu, meaning that this clan has all sorts of people.

Take Wood Release as an example.

While Wood Release is Kekkei Genkai, it's different from the Sharingan. Although the Sharingan has a low awakening rate, the Uchiha Clan population is large enough that so many people can awaken it through bloodline. Wood Release, everyone knows that the First Hokage knows it, but no one else does.

Not all Kekkei Genkai can be awakened; this name refers to a type of Ninjutsu.

If we have to pinpoint a distinctive feature of the Senju Clan, wouldn't it be that each generation has a strong member?

Without any standard for judgment, people, hoping to find the real thing, brought in these Senju Clan survivors in large numbers.

It's okay if you don't want to be a ninja, come be one of our villagers! What if your child wants to? Right?

Everyone believes that the Senju Clan, after retiring from the ninja world, still has descendants living outside. After all, even if that generation didn't want to be ninjas anymore, it doesn't mean the new generation didn't.

As time went on, these villages discovered that some of these people were indeed quite talented.

Thus, the group of the Senju Clan survivors gained recognition, with everyone believing in their existence and that not all members of the Senju Clan remained in Leaf Village after the clan disbanded.

Leaf Village did not interfere with this matter, nor could it interfere, because these discovered remnants of the Senju Clan were not even in the Land of Fire.

The Senju Clan Hands and the Uzumaki Clans, two groups with deep ties to Leaf Village, occasionally leave their mark in other countries.

For example, remnants of the Senju Clan have been discovered in the Land of Rain.

Therefore, in Uchiha Obito's view, it was no big deal for him to join Kumogakure under this identity, nor did it mean that Leaf Village would notice him.

There are more Uzumaki Clan survivors than Senju Clan survivors, so how could Leaf Village possibly control them?

He had already thought of names: Takayama Hizo, nickname Tobi. These memories were also implanted into the minds of the people involved.

The family to which the caravan leader belonged was surnamed Gaoshan.

The Takayama Clan is a major merchant family in the Land of Fire. The family system is a mainstream in the Hokage world, and most of the top figures in each industry are based in the form of a family.

"Hey bro, why are you drinking alone like this? The beauties of the Land of Lightning won't pay you any attention. They prefer men with a manly air!" someone teased Uchiha Obito as he drank by himself.

To this, Uchiha Obito simply nodded.

Anyway, he was wearing a mask, so no one could see his expression.

His current expression screams "Don't mess with me."

Although his expression couldn't be seen, his aloofness was conveyed perfectly, so the other person turned their head away sullenly.

He found the young man's eyes quite intimidating.

Suddenly, the door to the private room opened.

A group of girls filed in.

The caravan leader smiled broadly, about to say something, when he saw one of the girls excitedly run up to his "nephew".

"Brother, do you still remember me?"

This private room is occupied by the caravan's junior leaders. After all, it's impossible to cram so many people into one room, so everyone here is an experienced driver.

Everyone could see at a glance that the dancer's gaze towards the leader's "nephew" wasn't just interest, it was lust!

Everyone was immediately shocked.

The young master remained silent not because he was a virgin, but because he knew someone at this shop!?

Moreover, the quality of these acquaintances is very high!

Ouch! This is terrifying to think about!

Uchiha Obito ignored the group of people around him; he simply looked up with some impatience.

"I don't remember," he said, then lowered his head to drink.

I remember you, you little devil! Where did you come from, you monster? Why are you sticking your chest out so high?

Hmm? Why does this look so familiar?

Uchiha Obito raised his head again and looked carefully at the girl in front of him.

"Oh, it's you." He suddenly realized, wasn't this the strange girl who used to wiggle around when she spoke last time?

"Brother, my name is Aoi!" The girl named Aoi was overjoyed.

"Hmm, hello," Uchiha Obito replied casually, then continued sipping his wine.

This wine tastes better than last time; it has a fruity flavor.

"Brother, shall I drink with you?" Aoi didn't mind Uchiha Obito's coldness. After all, she knew from last time that he was a cool man, but very gentle at heart.

"Whatever you want." Uchiha Obito, remembering that this girl was rather well-behaved, and agreed.

Just don't bother him.

Lin is gone, and he has lost interest in women.

No woman can compare to Lin.

Chapter Fourteen: The Vegetable Person and the Fierce Person

"Bang!"

After downing the drink in one gulp, Uchiha Obito the cup down on the table and rolled up his sleeves.

"Again!"

Damn it! Why does he always lose!

He, Uchiha Obito, is a man destined to win all the time.

He even defeated the Mizukage, yet he couldn't beat a little girl?

"Brother, don't drink so fast," Kui coaxed shyly. "Let's not play games for now, how about I dance for you?"

"No, let's continue!" Uchiha Obito said defiantly.

A few seconds later, he downed three more glasses.

Kui was on the verge of tears. She wanted to drink, but the rules of the game were so strict that she didn't even have a chance to clink glasses.

Brother, although you're very gentle and I want to suck you in, your gaming skills are really terrible! Are you sure you weren't losing on purpose?

Kui now deeply regrets suggesting playing games first.

This is truly... something I never expected!

This is such a huge deviation from the original plan, it's like falling down in Kumogakure and finding yourself in a mine in Sunagakure!

Oh well, I should try to be more positive. Men with flaws are more endearing.

"Ugh..." Uchiha Obito rubbed his forehead; he was drunk.

I drank too much, and too fast.

In his daze, he began to think about a question.

What is he doing right now?

How did he go from sipping his wine with such elegance to chugging it down in gulps?

Aoi's eyes lit up, and she took the opportunity to squeeze further into Uchiha Obito's arms, reaching out to massage his temples.

"Honey, you need to slow down, you drank too fast."

Dizzy and confused, Uchiha Obito didn't resist much; he just stood there and let Aoi massage him.

It was mainly uncomfortable, but the other person's massage felt quite comfortable.

The people watching this scene were incredibly envious.

Everyone noticed that the ladies of the Land of Lightning weren't interested in their deliberately tough-guy image at all. Although they would play games with them, they were very distant. If anyone tried to take advantage of them, they would immediately receive a disapproving look that said, "Guest, this is a respectable place."

Damn it! Look at this couple! They're so indecent!

He practically squeezed her into his arms, didn't he?

Look! This girl even pulled Tobi's hand onto her waist!

The caravan leader looked pleased.

As expected of someone from the Takayama family, he can make the girls of the Land of Lightning so infatuated that they end up taking advantage of him.

In this round, the one surnamed Gao won.

Overjoyed, he reached out to put his arm around the young woman next to him, but she politely avoided it.

"I'm sorry, sir, we can only dance and play games with you here."

Caravan leader. "..."

Has he no longer deserved the surname Gaoshan?

Looking at Kui clinging desperately to her "nephew," the caravan leader couldn't help but reminisce about his own days as a young and handsome man.

Oh, back then he wasn't as popular with women as he is now, so it's alright.

Let's just consider it a relive of my own miserable adolescence; as long as my "nephew" learns something from it, that's good.

The caravan leader sighed deeply.

Meanwhile, under the same night sky, on the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rice Fields, in a place called the Empty Zone, guests were being welcomed.

Uchiha Shingen arrived here with Mitarashi Anko, Haku, and Uchiha Sasuke.

"This place is so desolate, teacher." Bai looked around, then at the seemingly abandoned buildings in front of him, puzzled.

"You can't judge a book by its cover, Haku," Uchiha Shingen said. "This is the Uchiha Clan's exclusive weapon shop. Anko aside, you and Sasuke will be coming here often in the future."

"Do teachers come here often?"

"We used to come more often, but fewer people have come in the last two years."

As he spoke, Uchiha Shingen led the three students to the entrance of the Empty Zone.

It looks abandoned, but that's because not much effort was put into the exterior renovation.
