"Holy crap! Seriously?"
Obito was stunned.
He could hardly believe he had gotten this lucky.
He could copy ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and forbidden techniques?
Then couldn't he just copy Flying Thunder God from Minato someday and play around with it?
At that thought, Obito's gaze shifted to the boy seated ahead of him.
The boy wore a green bodysuit and sported a bowl cut.
He was Might Guy, the handsome lad who was always going on about youth.
Might Guy was a Taijutsu master. Wouldn't copying his Eight Gates Formation make Obito ridiculously powerful?
So Obito eagerly activated the system's copying ability and aimed it at Might Guy.
Whoosh~~~
A ball of white light that only Obito could see enveloped Might Guy.
Immediately afterward, a system notification rang out in Obito's mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, host. You have copied Might Guy's everyday skill: eating while doing a handstand.]
"What the hell!"
Obito was dumbfounded. What exactly was this system doing?
Hadn't it promised ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and forbidden techniques?
What the hell was eating while doing a handstand? What use could that possibly be...
Unwilling to give up, Obito activated the copying ability again and aimed it at Asuma in the front row.
If he couldn't copy the Eight Gates Formation, getting a Fire Release Technique would still be pretty good.
[Ding! Congratulations, host. You have copied Asuma's everyday skill: identifying cigarette brands by smoking them.] [Note: no matter the brand, the host can instantly identify a cigarette's brand and type simply by taking a puff.]
"What the fuck! What is this crap? Where are the Taijutsu, ninjutsu, and forbidden techniques you promised?"
"Trash system! I want to uninstall! I'm reporting you!"
Obito was so furious he nearly jumped to his feet and flipped his desk.
[Ding! Host, please listen to the full explanation. Skills available from a copy target include ninjutsu, Taijutsu, forbidden techniques, and so on.]
Obito was stunned again.
So the system was playing word games with him.
It had brushed him off with those three little words: "and so on."
[Tip: the greater the intimacy between the host and the copy target, the more powerful the abilities copied from that target will be.] [Intimacy refers to the degree of friendship between the host and the copy target.]
Higher intimacy was required to copy more powerful abilities?
No wonder both of Obito's attempts had only yielded everyday skills.
His intimacy with those two simply wasn't high enough.
But the system hadn't mentioned intimacy until now. How shameless could it get?
System! You did that on purpose, didn't you? You're screwing me over, aren't you?
[Ding! This system will serve the host faithfully. Please rest assured.]
Faithfully, my ass!
Two and a half years! You didn't show up for two and a half whole years!
Do you know how I got through those two and a half years?! Do you?!
You've put me through all that misery, and you won't even give me a beginner's gift pack?
Obito roared furiously in his mind.
The system: "..."
[Ding! The host's one-time beginner's gift pack will now be issued. Please receive it.] [Congratulations, host. You have received a limited-edition eye power value gift pack.] [Congratulations, host. You have received five copying chances.] [Tip: the host will automatically receive one copying chance for every year that passes.] [Additionally, the system will issue missions at irregular intervals. Completing missions can also grant copying chances.]
System notifications rang out one after another in Obito's mind.
The moment Obito heard about the limited-edition eye power value gift pack, he could hardly wait to open it.
He barely paid attention to the five copying chances announced afterward.
Quick, open the eye power value gift pack.
[Ding! Your limited-edition eye power value gift pack has been opened.]
As the system's voice rang out again, a ball of soft red light drifted out of the virtual interface and enveloped Obito's eyes.
Obito felt a powerful surge of ocular energy wrap around his eyes.
Almost instantly, his formerly black eyes turned blood-red.
At that moment, Obito successfully awakened the red-eyed clan's Kekkei Genkai.
But it didn't stop there.
As the ocular energy pouring into his eyes grew stronger, tomoe began to emerge within them.
[Congratulations, host. You have successfully awakened the One-Tomoe Sharingan.] [Congratulations, host. You have successfully awakened the Two-Tomoe Sharingan.] [Congratulations, host. You have successfully awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.] [Congratulations, host. You have successfully awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan.]
As the system notifications sounded again and again,
the tomoe in Obito's eyes underwent rapid changes.
Finally, they formed a triangular pattern. This was Obito's unique Mangekyō Sharingan-the Eye of Kamui.
Hahahahaha~~~
To keep anyone from witnessing his Sharingan awakening,
Obito had slumped over his desk the instant he opened the eye power value gift pack.
Upon learning that his Sharingan had reached the Mangekyō stage,
Obito was so excited he nearly jumped onto his desk, pointed at the entire class, and shouted, "Who else wants some?!"
But Obito hadn't forgotten that he was in class. If he caused too much of a commotion, Mr. Liangtian would probably blow his top again.
Obito could only struggle to contain his excitement, his shoulders shaking as he stifled his laughter.
"Obito, are you okay?"
Watching Obito's unusual behavior, Rin shook her head helplessly.
She assumed he was slumped over his desk crying because he was upset about the teacher's punishment.
"It's okay. Don't be so upset. Being told off by the teacher isn't a big deal."
Rin gently patted Obito's shoulder and comforted him in a quiet voice.
Obito finally suppressed the urge to laugh aloud and raised his head to look at Rin Nohara beside him.
Rin smiled at him with her eyes narrowed, her face full of tenderness. "Don't worry. I can stay behind and help you clean the classroom."
"Rin... you..." Looking at the face before him, Obito was momentarily entranced.
No wonder the original Obito had been so hopelessly infatuated with Rin, obsessed to the point of wanting to create a world where she existed.
Who could resist such a sweet, gentle, and understanding girl?
That was probably why Rin had become the one irreplaceable love in Obito's heart.
"Thank you, Rin."
After thanking her, Obito shook his slightly dazed head and pulled his gaze away from Rin's little face.
Unfortunately, he was no longer the original Obito.
Creating a world with Rin in it was certainly possible.
But that world couldn't have only Rin. It needed plenty of other girls, too.
Otherwise, wouldn't the long road of a ninja's life be far too monotonous?
Riiing~~~
Before long, the theory lesson ended, and the bell rang.
The moment Liangtian said, "Class dismissed,"
the students became wild horses freed from their reins, charging out of the classroom to run loose.
