Obito became famous

The woman Liangtian held in his arms looked like she was a teacher at the school too.

Although she looked familiar, Obito couldn't remember her name.

Liangtian had always had it in for Obito at school.

Now that Obito had caught him with something like this, how could he pass up the chance to mess with him?

Obito's eyes darted around, and a wicked grin spread across his face.

Hidden behind a large tree, he silently formed a series of Ninjutsu hand seals.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!"

Obito tilted his head back slightly, his cheeks swelling.

As he exhaled, a thin stream of fire burst from his mouth.

The stream gathered into a fireball and rolled toward one side of the thicket.

The fireball ignited plenty of dry grass and deadwood along the way.

The instant he finished the technique, Obito darted out of the bushes.

He stood on the footpath and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Fire! Everyone, come help put it out!"

"Where's the fire? Where?"

"Look! It's in the trees! Over there!"

At this time of the morning, plenty of students and teachers were passing by on their way to school.

Seeing thick smoke rising from the thicket, they rushed in to help fight the fire.

Seeking a thrill, Liangtian hadn't chosen a particularly secluded spot.

His daring exploits with the female teacher were instantly exposed for everyone to see.

"Ahhh!!!"

The female teacher screamed and covered her face in shame.

Liangtian pulled up his pants while frantically waving his hands to explain. "Don't get the wrong idea! We didn't start that fire!"

Everyone was speechless.

Everyone knew they hadn't started the fire. They'd been too busy screwing to have any time for arson.

"Teacher Liangtian! Teacher Keiko! I hate to say this, but you're teachers who should be setting an example! How could you do something like this here in broad daylight?"

"Exactly! This is so filthy and shameful! I'm embarrassed for both of you!"

Listening to the uproar inside, Obito, the instigator of the whole mess, covered his mouth and snickered.

To avoid drawing too much suspicion, he didn't linger and headed toward the school gates.

But as soon as Obito entered the school grounds, he noticed quite a few passing students looking at him.

They pointed at him and whispered among themselves.

"Look! Isn't that Obito Uchiha, the eternal dead last? He's the one who awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan yesterday, right?"

"You'd better stop calling him dead last! Haven't you heard how powerful the Three-Tomoe Sharingan is? Even Hokoku Shimura, the Shimura Clan's young prodigy, got beaten up badly."

"My dad told me yesterday! Any Uchiha ninja who awakens the Three-Tomoe Sharingan is bound to become incredibly powerful. The Third Hokage will definitely give this Obito Uchiha important responsibilities someday."

"Really? Actually, now that I look closely, Obito's pretty handsome! He's tall, and he has a nice face! Those goggles are just a little too old-fashioned."

Obito's mouth twitched as he listened to the gossip.

Word really traveled fast. In just one night, practically the entire school had heard about it.

And since when were my goggles old-fashioned? They look great, okay?

They're stylish and distinctive. That girl just has no taste.

As he mulled it over, Obito walked into the classroom.

Quite a few classmates had already arrived.

The way they looked at Obito had changed too.

Before, most of them had looked at him as though he were an idiot.

Now their eyes held a hint of curiosity and envy.

"Obito! Congratulations! You're a school celebrity now."

As soon as he sat down, Rin giggled and teased him from the seat beside his.

"Rin! Don't make fun of me!" Obito scratched his head awkwardly.

Rin shook her head. "I'm not joking! I'm genuinely happy for you!"

As they spoke, Kurenai Yuhi suddenly approached from the front row with her hands behind her back and stopped in front of Obito.

"Obito! Could I train with you after class today?"

Kurenai Yuhi seemed a little embarrassed.

Her face flushed with shyness as she looked at Obito, a trace of nervousness in her eyes.

Kurenai Yuhi could easily be considered the prettiest girl in their class.

Even if someone called her the prettiest girl in the entire Ninja Academy, the other students probably wouldn't object.

It was just that ninja valued strength above all else and didn't bother with rankings like that.

Kurenai Yuhi's actions immediately drew the attention of everyone in the classroom.

"Holy crap! Kurenai actually asked to train with Obito? What's going on?"

"She's obviously showing an interest in him! That's another huge piece of school news today."

"It's over. My goddess is going to be sullied by that idiot Obito."

Tears streamed down Asuma's face as he stared at Kurenai Yuhi's back, heartbroken.

He quietly slipped the pack of Chunghwa cigarettes he'd prepared for Kurenai Yuhi under his desk back into his pocket.

"I never thought Kurenai would like someone like Obito. I guess she probably won't accept the gift I picked out so carefully for her."

Mizuki tugged on Hokoku Shimura's arm and began fanning the flames. "Baoguo, that Obito is such a jerk. He's stolen all your glory, and now even Kurenai Yuhi is taking an interest in him."

Hokoku Shimura said bitterly, "Don't worry. I've already found someone to deal with him! He's definitely going to have a rough night!"

Obito looked up at Kurenai Yuhi blankly, unsure how to answer.

Why did Kurenai Yuhi want to train with me?

Had a romantic opportunity just landed in my lap?

[Ding! Detected that classmate Kurenai Yuhi has expressed interest in the host.]

[Host, please say the following specified line to Kurenai Yuhi to receive one copying opportunity.]

[Classmate Kurenai Yuhi, come to the little grove with me after class tonight. I can practice dual cultivation with you.]

Suddenly, the system's notification sounded in Obito's mind.

Obito was immediately speechless.

"System! What the hell are you doing?"

"I barely know her! Isn't saying something like that way too sleazy? People will get the wrong idea!"

[Host, please complete the task by saying the specified line. Otherwise, all existing copying opportunities will automatically be reset to zero.]

"What the fuck! Are you a copying system or a prank system?"

Obito felt utterly frustrated.

Kurenai Yuhi was still standing there waiting, her hands behind her back.

With everyone looking at her, she grew even shyer, her cheeks as red as a persimmon.

"Obito! Is this putting you in a difficult position? If it is, I'm sorry!"

When Obito still didn't answer, Kurenai Yuhi bowed in apology and turned to return to her seat.

"Hey! Wait!"

Obito hurriedly called her back.
