After that, Uchiha Kindergarten had no classes from Friday through Sunday.

Uchiha Obito gradually became accustomed to life at Uchiha Kindergarten.

At this time, Uchiha Yato thoughtfully offered him a child-rearing gift package.

Uchiha Yato's exact words were:

"Since you're free anyway, why not come help look after the children in the preschool section?"

"You can pass the time and earn points."

By the time he said that, Uchiha Obito had basically decided to agree to Uchiha Yato's proposal.

Uchiha Yato continued, "Once you save up ten thousand points, I'll invite Nohara Rin to join Uchiha Kindergarten."

Good lord, that instantly made Uchiha Obito the best childcare worker around.

These children, who had yet to attend ninja school, were full of longing and anticipation for school life.

Uchiha Obito warmly answered every question the children asked.

At that moment, Uchiha Hai asked, "Um, Brother Obito, did you have any good friends at ninja school?"

Uchiha Obito naturally replied, "Of course. Her name is Nohara Rin."

"She's a very gentle girl."

As he said this, a smile naturally appeared on Uchiha Obito's face, and he looked utterly blissful.

Uchiha Yato, who had been watching them chat, swiftly joined the conversation.

Uchiha Yato said, "Our Obito really likes that girl."

"Hai, remember this: when you look for a man in the future, find someone like Brother Obito—a man so devoted."

With Uchiha Yato joining in and steering the topic, the conversation immediately went off the rails.

Hearing those words, Uchiha Obito blushed furiously in embarrassment.

Then Uchiha Yato abruptly changed the subject.

"But you absolutely mustn't accept a simp."

Uchiha Hai did not understand what a simp was and directly asked.

Uchiha Yato answered, "What is a simp?"

"That's a very important question. Some people love deeply, and that doesn't make them simps."

"But some people refuse to give up until they smash their heads against a wall, and they don't understand rejection."

"Those people are called simps."

Seeing that neither Uchiha Hai nor Obito quite understood, Uchiha Yato put it another way.

"Hai, imagine there's someone you don't like. What would you do?"

Hai answered, "Ignore him. Don't play with him."

"Tell him I hate him."

Very satisfied with Hai's answer, Uchiha Yato said, "That's right. If you don't like someone, you have to say it."

"But if that person loves you too much and refuses to leave you alone, staying by your side every day, what would you do?"

Hai still said, "If I don't like him, I don't like him. Why does he keep clinging to me?"

Obito also said, "People like that really are annoying. And kind of gross."

Uchiha Yato corrected him, "You can't call that gross. You can only say he's obsessed with his love for you."

"You have the right to pursue someone, but you can't interfere with their normal life."

"A simp will agree to any request without any bottom line. Someone like that has completely thrown away his dignity."

Uchiha Hai asked, "Do people like that really exist?"

Obito also fell into thought, as though he were pondering something.

Without discussing it with him, Uchiha Yato directly activated his Sharingan and met Obito's gaze.

He also took out the Uchiha Yato-brand Projector, which could project the illusions experienced by people trapped in genjutsu.

After making his preparations, Uchiha Yato said to Uchiha Hai, "Let's see whether your Brother Obito will become a simp."

Uchiha Hai said, "Brother Yato, you really have no manners."

"He hasn't even agreed yet. How could you just lay hands on him?"

Uchiha Yato offered no explanation.

There were actually two reasons why Uchiha Yato had explained things in such detail just now.

First, he wanted to teach the Uchiha Clan not to be overly arrogant.

That applied in every respect, including matters of love and emotion.

And in that regard, there was a negative example: Uchiha Obito.

He also wanted to see whether Obito, still so young, had any self-control. If he did, he would not be so easily fooled blind by Madara.

The second reason was, of course, to fleece him!

This wave of emotion coins probably would not be small. I bet Obito loves Rin like crazy!

Soon, the first scenario Uchiha Yato had designed for Obito appeared in the projector.

Scenario One: Wedding Venue

Uchiha Obito's vision blurred, and when he came to, he saw Nohara Rin wearing a pure white bridal kimono as she woke him up.

The woman standing before him at that moment.

Was far more mature than she was now, yet still as gentle and lovely as ever, striking straight at Obito's heart.

Obito himself had also grown into an adult, and he could not help letting his imagination run wild.

Nohara Rin softly asked, "Why did you suddenly faint?"

"Today is an important day for me. Don't tell me you forgot."

The moment he saw Nohara Rin like this, Uchiha Obito's heart began pounding wildly.

Automatically imagining himself as Nohara Rin's husband made his heart sway with happiness.

Then Nohara Rin's next words plunged him directly into an icy abyss.

"You're my bridal attendant today."

"I'll leave the rest to you."

(In Japan, the person who helps the bride handle matters during a wedding is called a bridal attendant, similar to a bridesmaid.)

At that moment, Obito's chest tightened. The girl he loved most was getting married, but the groom was not him.

When he tried to do something, however, he discovered that he had lost control of his body.

He could only help Nohara Rin handle the arrangements. Gradually, the scene changed once more.

When it reappeared, he saw a man wearing a black formal haori and hakama.

When the man approached, Obito realized he was an old acquaintance.

The boy's flushed face said it all. (Absolutely raging red.)

That was right. The groom Uchiha Yato had chosen was none other than the familiar Kakashi Hatake.

It also echoed what Uchiha Yato had previously said when threatening Obito to study properly, instantly sending his emotions soaring.

"Ding~"

"Congratulations to the host for raising Uchiha Obito's emotional temperature."

"Obtained 200 emotion coins."

This thrilled Uchiha Yato immensely. A simple bit of provocation had instantly earned him 200 emotion coins, equal to everything he had gotten from the Third Hokage's group before.

But Obito was like a puppet on strings at that moment. He could not make any other movements and could only obediently place Nohara Rin's hand into Kakashi's.

The reason Uchiha Yato did this was still influenced by the original story.

No matter how much you loved Rin, there were two things Uchiha Obito could never be forgiven for: slaughtering his own clan and killing the Fourth Hokage, who had treated him well.

Why should your entire clan—the people who raised you—be turned into tools for your revenge plan?

Why should your teacher become a wronged soul beneath your blade for your revenge plan, leaving his newborn son to become someone else's pawn?

So, Uchiha Yato was not trying to see whether Obito had the potential to become a simp.

He was purely taking revenge on behalf of his past-life self. He truly could not understand Obito's brain-dead act of wiping out his clan.

And the other clan extermination culprit—Itachi Uchiha.

It was fine. Itachi Uchiha had not been born yet. Once he was, they could take things slowly.

Just as Uchiha Obito handed Nohara Rin's hand to Kakashi, the illusion ended.

But judging by Uchiha Obito's current state, it seemed he had not yet snapped out of it.

Uchiha Hai said from outside, "Is this what you meant by simp behavior, Brother Yato?"

"Then Obito is a simp."

It seemed the little girl really was a little angry. She did not even call him Brother anymore.

Uchiha Yato explained, "No, no. I controlled his body just now."

"First, it was to show you what a simp is. This is what a simp is. If you encounter someone like that, you must stay far away."

"Second, it was to let him experience just how painful it is to be a simp."

"Once he comes out, Hai, make sure to thank Brother Obito for his selfless contribution."

The little girl did not respond, nor did she refute him.

So Uchiha Yato activated the second scenario.
