But that did nothing to dampen Obito's enthusiasm.
He asked excitedly,
"System Dad, how do I increase my development of the hashirama cells inside me?"
The system: "Open your hips... pfft, I mean, answer a multiple-choice question!"
Obito: "-_-||!"
He wasn't sure whether he was imagining it.
But he kept feeling that as his strength increased,
the system seemed to become more and more human.
It no longer just issued missions in a cold, mechanical voice like before.
Now it even interacted with him and cracked jokes!
"Ding!"
Obito stared at the light screen that appeared before him, lost in thought.
[Option one: Imagine you are a tree. Bury both feet in the soil every day and stand motionless in the sunlight for half an hour. Continue for one year. Completion reward: second-tier development.] [Option two: Grind Hashirama's bones into powder. Mix 100 grams into a drink and consume it daily for one year. Completion reward: second-tier development.] [Option three: Use Wood Release Ninjutsu for a cumulative half hour every day for one year. Completion reward: second-tier development.]
First, eliminate option two!
Never mind whether I could even get access to Hashirama's body.
Making bone broth out of someone's actual bones would be a little too hardcore!
Pass!
As for options one and three,
they took about the same amount of time and weren't particularly difficult.
But completing option one might leave him dying of embarrassment!
So, obviously, I choose... option one!
1111111!
If I can finish the mission just by standing still, what more could I ask for?
I'll take the embarrassment!
Once the group arrived in Konoha,
relief spread across all their faces.
Only here
could they stop living on edge and set aside all their worries.
Since most of the ninja were still fighting
