Because he was worried about being late, Obito set out early and arrived under the cherry tree in the park.
Holding the snacks carefully selected for Nohara Rin in his hands, Obito looked around with some anticipation.
Unlike him who was often late, Nohara Lin was a very punctual person. She would basically arrive at the agreed time and would not make people wait too long.
But today seemed a little different. When Obito felt that it was almost the agreed time, he still didn't see Nohara Rin, but he vaguely saw the figures of a few familiar people.
"Could it be that this park has become very famous recently? Why are Asuma, Yuhi Kurenai and the others here too?" As the distance between them shortened, Obito confirmed that the person he saw was the friend he was thinking of.
"Akagi is here too. Is he jogging past here?" At this time, Obito discovered another green figure.
Obito was a little surprised. In his impression, Might Guy would not have the leisure to visit a park like this.
What made Obito even more confused was that Might Guy and the others were walking towards the cherry tree.
"What a coincidence, you guys are here to visit the park too." Obito waved his hand and greeted them with a smile.
Since he didn't see Kakashi, Obito's mood was relatively stable and he was still optimistic about the future developments.
"Going to the park? No, Xiaolin asked me to come here because she had something to do." Xi Ri Hong shook her head and said.
Obito's expression froze instantly and the smile on his face slowly disappeared. This was not the date he had imagined.
"Me too." Might Guy nodded, indicating that he was also one of the people invited by Nohara Lin.
"It seems that everyone was invited by Xiaolin. It's really rare that they called us all here. Is there something very important?" Asuma touched his chin and speculated.
Asuma turned around and took a quick look, and found that they were all friends who knew each other, and there was no one he didn't know.
"Ahaha, that should be." Obito scratched his head with his left hand with an awkward smile on his face, and put the snacks in his right hand behind him without leaving a trace.
"Maybe he encountered some difficulties."
Although Obito felt embarrassed and wanted to crawl underground at this moment, he did not blame Nohara Rin in his heart. Instead, he became worried about Nohara Rin.
After all, Nohara Rin never said that she asked him to come over for a date. It was Obito himself who thought that Nohara Rin wanted to date him.
"And the fact that Kakashi was not called shows that I am still more trusted by Xiaolin." Obito comforted himself in his heart.
It was a blessing in disguise for Obito that Kakashi didn't come.
If Kakashi was there, he would most likely see what Obito was thinking and then mock him.
"Sorry everyone, I'm late."
At this moment, Nohara Rin's voice suddenly came. Obito looked towards the place where the voice came from and saw Nohara Rin running towards him, panting, holding a stack of papers in her arms.
"It's only a few minutes, it's not considered late, Xiaolin, you don't have to rush." Obito said quickly when he saw Nohara Lin looking a little out of breath.
After hearing what Obito said, Nohara Rin slowed down her pace and jogged over to the crowd.
"It took longer to make these than I thought, so it's a little late." Nohara Lin breathed a sigh of relief and raised the paper in her hand and explained.
You have to know that Nohara Lin has also practiced breathing techniques for quite some time. To be able to run like this, it is obvious that she has accelerated to the limit all the way.
"So that's how it is. I was wondering why Lin, who is always punctual, was late this time." Obito said with a smile and looked at the culprit in Nohara Lin's hand that caused Nohara Lin to be late.
"Gift plan to celebrate Kakashi's promotion to jonin (confidential mission)..." Obito read out the large words on the poster-like paper word by word in his mind.
Looking at the carefully drawn Q version portrait of Kakashi on the beach, Obito fell silent. For some reason, even the snacks in his right hand suddenly became extremely heavy, so heavy that even Obito, a ninja who could break a tree with one punch, couldn't lift it.
With a bang, the snacks that Obito was holding fell to the ground.
Obito ignored the snacks that fell on the ground. At this moment, his face felt as if it was burned by flames, and his inner embarrassment reached its peak.
What he thought was a date between the two of them was actually Nohara Rin's attempt to celebrate Kakashi's promotion to jonin.
He thought Kakashi was not invited because he was more trustworthy, but in fact it was because Nohara Rin wanted to give Kakashi a surprise.
In order to make a good impression on Nohara Rin, he arrived early and even picked out snacks that girls like. However, Nohara Rin was late because she was helping Kakashi draw a poster.
It hurts. It hurts so much.
Even though he was standing in the sun, Obito felt a chill and pain penetrating into his bones for some reason.
It was so heartbreaking to see the girl he liked working hard for other boys that Obito didn't even dare to look at Nohara Rin. He raised his head at a 45-degree angle to the sky with unspeakable sadness.
"Obito, your things fell." Nohara Rin walked to Obito, picked up the bag of snacks and said.
She heard the sound the first time, but she didn't expect that Obito didn't pick it up and instead just stared blankly, not knowing what was going on.
"Oh, thank you, Xiaolin." Obito came back to his senses and thanked subconsciously.
"Really? You're almost a jonin after all. You can't suddenly become dazed like this while on a mission." Nohara Rin said helplessly.
"Yeah." The smile on Obito's face returned a little.
Nohara Rin is worried about him. Nohara Rin has him in her heart!
"By the way, are these the snacks that you bought specially for everyone, Obito?" Nohara Rin handed the snacks to Obito and asked casually.
Obito was stunned for a moment and then nodded, "Yeah, you're right, Xiaolin."
Although it was bought specially for Nohara Rin, it definitely cannot be given to Nohara Rin alone in this situation. Either everyone eats it together, or no one eats it, otherwise it would be too weird.
"It's quite impressive that you are so thoughtful, Obito." Nohara Rin covered her mouth with her hands in surprise. It was beyond her expectation that Obito could be prepared like this.
Obito has always behaved very carelessly, but this time not only was he not late, he also prepared snacks.
"People always make progress." Obito straightened his chest. After all, it was nice to be praised by Nohara Rin.
As he said that, Obito distributed the snacks to everyone.
Seeing everyone eating the snacks that were carefully prepared for Nohara Rin one bite at a time, Obito felt inexplicably melancholy.
"It tastes really good. Obito, you are quite good at choosing snacks." Kurenai Yuhi gave a positive comment.
Obito felt as if his heart was pierced by a sharp arrow. How could it not be delicious? He picked it specially for Nohara Rin.
"What gift do you think would be a good one for Kakashi?" Nohara Lin talked about the main purpose of the meeting.
"As for Kakashi, I think we can give him a more practical gift." Kurenai thought for a while and expressed her thoughts.
Yuhi Kurenai feels that Kakashi is a very practical person. Compared to some romantic gifts, Kakashi would prefer practical and usable gifts.
"It seems to be true. Kakashi gave me a secret medicine for training on my birthday." Might Guy thought about it carefully and found that what Kurenai said was right. Kakashi rarely did anything fancy.
"Why don't we all go find the most delicious tempura and then give it to Kakashi. It's practical to eat, right? You will die if you don't eat." Obito said seriously, as if he had no personal feelings at all and was just thinking rationally.
Nohara Rin looked at Obito helplessly.
"Obito, stop joking. Kakashi doesn't like tempura." Nohara Rin complained.
Kakashi only eats the tempura made by Mu Yue.
"I did this just to make Kakashi realize how delicious tempura is. But forget it. Mu Yue-sensei's tempura is already the best. It's impossible to be more delicious." Obito explained forcibly.
He said it casually in revenge, without expecting it to be adopted.
However, Obito would still be very happy if he was really recognized, because he felt that Kakashi's expression would be the same as his just now.
After a discussion, everyone finally agreed to give Kakashi a more practical gift.
After the disbandment, Obito did not leave with Nohara Rin, but followed Might Guy instead.
Even he couldn't continue to stick to Nohara Lin after something like this happened.
"Akai, how's your recovery been?" Obito asked.
Might Guy smiled and raised his arms to show off his muscles. "It's recovering steadily, just like the youth that keeps growing!"
"That makes me feel relieved. You seem a little lonely in Kakashi without Kai." Obito said deliberately.
"This is the bond between me and my best friend." Might Guy gave a thumbs up and laughed.
"I seem to have heard Kakashi say that he really wants to fight you when you activate the Eight Gates and the Rock Breathing Chakra mode." Obito continued in a serious tone.
"After all, I was really strong in that state, and my best friend also wants to challenge a stronger me." Might Guy believed it directly.
"But I'm sorry to disappoint my best friend. I can't let him feel my peak combat power. Now I can only use the fifth gate and the Rock Breathing Chakra mode at most. I can't open the sixth gate." Might Guy sighed.
Might Guy forced open the sixth gate only because his life was in danger. In ordinary sparring, Might Guy would definitely not force himself to use a higher gate, otherwise how could he practice if he had to lie down for two months after a fight.
"I believe Kakashi will understand you." Obito couldn't help but smile.
He had already foreseen the scene of Kakashi being beaten up by Might Guy. This was the Eight Gates Ninjutsu plus the Rock Breathing Chakra Mode. Even if only five gates were opened, Kakashi would not be able to defeat him now.
"For my best friend's expectations, I will practice harder next time, and strive to let my best friend feel the power of the Sixth Gate and the Rock Breathing Chakra Mode as soon as possible." Might Guy clenched his fists with fighting spirit in his eyes.
"That's right, that's it." Obito gave Might Guy a thumbs up.
…
In Konoha, a sigh was heard from a secret underground laboratory.
"Failed again. Is this direction wrong?" Beiliuhu frowned as he looked at the experimental data.
"The talent of a ninja should be in the body, why can't we plunder the talent of a ninja from the body?"
Dissatisfied with his own talents, Hiruko has been secretly experimenting to develop ninjutsu that can enhance ninja talents.
Hiruko doesn't want to be mediocre, he also wants to become a strong man like the Three Ninjas who dominate the ninja world.
Although they were both students of the same class, Orochimaru and Jiraiya had already become the feared Three Ninjas, but he was still an unknown little Jonin in Konoha. Obito was really unwilling to accept this.
"Damn it, how long will I ever succeed if I keep going like this? Even a kid like Hatake Kakashi is on the same level as me!" Obito's mentality collapsed when he thought of Kakashi, who became a jonin at the age of ten.
The rising fame of younger generations like Minato Namikaze and Mugetsu Hanyu only made Hiruzen a little anxious, but Kakashi really broke his defense.
A ten-year-old jonin, he broke Konoha's record for being the earliest to be promoted to jonin.
"We have to speed up the pace. It will be meaningless if we complete the development after we start to age." Beiluo decided not to focus on stability anymore and to take more radical actions.
Even the most talented ninja will become weaker with age, so he needs to complete the development of ninjutsu while he is still young.
After that, Hiruko increased the frequency of his arrests and conducted more human experiments to trial and error.
As the experiment progressed, Beiliu had a new inspiration.
"Since it is so difficult to plunder talents, it is better to merge the individuals into one." Beiluohu began to conduct experiments with the goal of fusion.
As if this was really the right path, Obito made rapid progress in the experiment of fusion ninjutsu, and soon completed a fusion experiment with a summoned beast, allowing an ordinary person to have strength that surpasses that of a Chunin, although his body became a bit like a monster.
"I succeeded. This is definitely an unprecedented great ninjutsu!" Hiruko was extremely excited because the experiment had made a breakthrough.
He felt that the Kisara technique he developed was definitely an S-level ninjutsu, and even one of the top ones among the S-level ones.
Then Beiluo began to work on the integration between people.
It is impossible for him to fuse a summoned beast with himself. Beiliuhu still wants to be a human being.
Moreover, Beiliuhu believes that the potential of summoned beasts is not as high as that of humans. He has never heard of any top-level strongman who relies solely on summoned beasts.
As the human fusion experiment progressed, Hibari discovered a surprising thing: fusion can retain many of the characteristics of the fused persons, including their bloodline limits.
"This path is right. If I master all the bloodline limits, who can defeat me?" Hiruhu has already seen the path to becoming the strongest.
Perhaps because of the martial law in Konoha during the war, or perhaps because Hokuro's actions were too radical, his abnormality was noticed and the human experiments were discovered by the ninja who came to investigate.
But Beiluhu was not a brainless person. He had already considered a plan to escape when conducting human experiments.
Although he was not as strong as his three ninja friends, his strength was not something that ordinary ninjas could stop. In the end, Hokage escaped from Konoha with his own Kidome no Jutsu and became a wanted traitor ninja by Konoha.
