Chapter 185 Tying him to the pillar was absolutely fantastic!
Minato Namikaze looked at Obito, who was getting up from the ground, with some surprise, and said approvingly, "Your observation skills are quite good! If it were anyone else, your sneak attack just now would probably have succeeded."
"Unfortunately, you've run into me."
Indeed, Minato Namikaze's most terrifying aspect is not only his lightning-fast Flying Thunder God Technique, but also his superhuman reflexes and combat instincts.
Even after using the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport, he can adjust his posture in an instant and seize the best position to attack the enemy.
The Flying Thunder God Technique has been used to such an unparalleled degree that even its creator, the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, never achieved it.
Before he could finish speaking, a piercing "sizzling" thunderous sound suddenly rang out again in the arena!
Minato Namikaze's pupils contracted. Before he could even take a closer look, a bolt of lightning flashed past him from behind. It was Kakashi wielding the Lightning Release: Chidori, launching a surprise attack from behind!
"This level of technique can actually be used a second time?"
"Mouth—!"
A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, and Kakashi's figure moved with lightning speed.
However, this level of attack was nothing to Minato Namikaze.
He swayed slightly, narrowly avoiding the fierce attack.
At the same time, he didn't hold back, turning around and delivering a powerful side kick to the silver afterimage!
Unexpectedly, the kick missed the solid object and passed right through it.
Minato Namikaze felt a sudden sinking feeling in his heart. He saw the "Kakashi" he had kicked suddenly explode into countless bolts of lightning, which, with a soft "sizzle," dissipated into wisps of lightning arcs in the air.
"Lightning clone?!" Minato Namikaze's eyes widened.
He never expected that such a difficult technique of adding lightning chakra nature transformation to shadow clones would actually appear in a genin who had just graduated!
Minato Namikaze was startled, and tried to dodge again, but it was too late—"smack!"
The electric current emitted after the lightning clone disintegrated instantly climbed onto Minato Namikaze's body.
A blinding white bolt of lightning raged wildly along his calves, paralyzing and stiffening all his muscles, freezing him in place.
Even with Minato Namikaze's strength, he felt a sudden numbness throughout his body and briefly lost his ability to move!
At the same time.
A muffled thud suddenly came from beneath my feet.
The soil beneath Minato Namikaze's feet suddenly bulged and cracked, and a figure covered in mud and dust emerged from the ground.
Kakashi!
He took the opportunity to sneak underground and circled around to Minato Namikaze's feet!
Minato Namikaze was startled, but his body had not yet regained consciousness.
"Ding-a-ling~"
Kakashi knelt on one knee, one hand firmly grasping the small bell that was still jingling, and raised it high.
Two silver bells hung from his fingers, swaying and reflecting the midday sun, making a crisp sound.
"Minato-sensei!" Kakashi revealed a rare smile beneath his mask, waving his spoils. "Looks like we won!"
[Ding! Kakashi Hatake's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
"Well done, Kakashi!" Obito scrambled to his feet from the grass not far away.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +800!]
Lin also ran over quickly, her purple eyes sparkling as she looked at Kakashi and cheered, "Kakashi, you're so cool!"
Obito was initially overjoyed, but seeing Rin's adoring expression towards Kakashi, his face immediately fell, and he gritted his teeth in anger: "Damn it! Kakashi has stolen all the limelight again!"
in the audience.
"Ahhh! They actually managed to snatch it!" In the dark stands, Naruto suddenly jumped up from his seat and shouted excitedly, "Kakashi-sensei actually managed to steal the bell from Dad!"
"Kakashi-sensei is amazing!"
Sakura's eyes widened in disbelief.
Sasuke crossed his arms, his eyebrows twitching mischievously, and gave a thoughtful hum: "That kid with the goggles isn't simple either! His Fire Release technique is quite powerful!"
Naruto nodded vigorously, agreeing, "That's right, that's right! His Fireball Jutsu is even more powerful than Sasuke's—"
"What?!" Sasuke glared at Naruto defiantly.
"That's right, no way!" Sakura retorted. Jiraiya, upon hearing this, threw his head back and burst into laughter: "Hahaha—alright, alright, stop arguing."
He stroked his chin, looking at the screen with a sigh, "After all, the Kakashi in the dream now has the soul of an adult Kakashi inside his body. It's not surprising that Minato was caught off guard and had his bell stolen."
At this point, he squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "If I remember correctly, those little guys were only nine years old at that time, right?"
"Nine years old?!" Sasuke's eyes widened in surprise.
on the screen.
As the smoke cleared, the outcome was decided.
Minato Namikaze looked down at his empty waist, the look of shock still lingering on his face.
"The bell was stolen?"
He muttered to himself, and it took him several seconds to realize what he meant.
He's the proud "Yellow Flash"!
Even if he faced two elite Jonin at the same time, he might not be able to gain the upper hand. Moreover, he had even used the Flying Thunder God Technique to test the students.
Even so, the bell was still stolen by several newly graduated genin.
Minato Namikaze shook his head, feeling both amused and exasperated, and was momentarily embarrassed.
He silently surveyed the three ambitious students before him, recalling the techniques they had used during the trial.
He secretly grumbled to himself.
Wasn't it said that they were just three newly graduated genin?
Is this a genin?
Obito rubbed his aching back as he stood up from the bushes. When he looked up, he saw Minato Namikaze staring at him and Kakashi with a complicated and strange look in his eyes.
He knew the teacher was amazed that the bell had been taken away, and a little smugness rose in his heart.
After all, getting Minato Namikaze to eat is no easy feat.
However, compared to that, Obito was clearly more concerned about Rin's gaze at this moment.
He turned his head and saw Kakashi holding up the bell, pretending to be a master without saying a word, looking completely calm and collected.
Rin was standing next to Kakashi with an adoring expression, talking to him.
This scene made Obito feel very uncomfortable. He glared at Kakashi and thought to himself: Hmph! Kakashi must be secretly enjoying himself by putting on this act!
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
"cough."
Seeing the three students' different expressions, Minato Namikaze couldn't help but cough lightly to attract their attention.
He clapped his hands, a helpless yet gentle smile on his face, and said slowly, "In short, your performance was very good. However, one..."
He deliberately drew out his words, narrowed his eyes, and said with a smile, "There are only two bells, so one of you three will have to accept the punishment."
Upon hearing this, Obito, Kakashi, and Rin were all taken aback.
Obito and Kakashi exchanged a glance. They knew perfectly well what the "punishment" was: being tied to a wooden stake to reflect on their actions and going hungry.
Minato Namikaze said this in a nonchalant tone.
But Obito heard it clearly; there was a distinct sense of schadenfreude and malicious pleasure in those words!
The three looked at each other, and the scene immediately fell silent.
Obito really wanted to take the opportunity to suggest tying Kakashi to a stake.
But the words stuck in his throat, and he couldn't bring himself to say them.
After all, Kakashi was the one who snatched the bell, so it shouldn't have been his turn.
Just as the group was caught in a dilemma, Lin, who had been keeping her head down, suddenly raised her hand slightly and said, "I—"
"What the hell!" Before Rin could finish speaking, Obito suddenly raised his voice and interrupted her.
He strode forward and declared, "Teacher, let me take the punishment!"
"Huh?" Rin's eyes widened, and she looked at Obito with some panic. "But—it was me—"
"There's no 'but' about it!"
Obito waved his hand, trying to appear nonchalant, and grinned, "This time it was my own fault for not performing well, and I'm willing to accept the punishment!"
Though he said this, he was inwardly cursing: 'That damn Kakashi! Why did you have to get the bell! If it had been in my hands, I would have made you experience being tied to a stake!'
Obito became increasingly depressed, and the thought of being publicly starved and punished in front of Rin made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
However, no matter how unwilling he was, he could not allow Rin to be punished or tied to a wooden stake and starve. Obito Uchiha would never allow such a thing!
Soon, a dejected "prisoner" appeared on the wooden stake in the center of the training field.
He was tied to a wooden stake with ropes, his hands were tied behind his back, his head was hanging low, and he had a look of utter despair on his face.
His stomach had been growling loudly since the fierce battle, but he could only watch helplessly as his companions sat around eating lunch.
According to the exercise rules, there are only two bells, so one of the three of them must be penalized.
Not only were they tied to wooden stakes to reflect on their actions, but they were also not allowed to eat lunch!
Minato Namikaze glanced at Obito with a half-smile, then walked to the shade of a tree and sat down. He took out a lunchbox he had prepared in advance from his ninja tool bag and began to eat leisurely, as if he really intended to leave Obito to the side.
Rin, holding her lunchbox, stood by the wooden stake, looking at the dejected Obito, her little face full of guilt and unease: "Obito, I was the one who performed the worst, how could I let you suffer hunger and punishment—"
Upon hearing this, Obito grinned twice, feigning nonchalance, and said, "Hehe, I'm fine, Rin, don't worry! This little punishment is nothing, just consider it extra training!"
He appeared nonchalant, but inside he was deeply distressed: "Oh dear, I've really lost face!"
Rin frowned and lowered her head. After thinking for a moment, she picked up her lunchbox, ran a few steps to the wooden post, smiled, picked up a piece of teriyaki chicken from the box with her chopsticks, and held it to Obito's mouth: "Obito, come on, open your mouth. I'll feed you!"
Obito was taken aback at first, then his pupils suddenly dilated: "Huh?!"
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +1000!]
He stared blankly at the girl who was so close to him, his nose still catching the faint scent of soapberry mixed with the aroma of food emanating from her.
"Open your mouth, Obito."
Seeing him standing there dumbfounded, Lin blushed slightly and gently urged, "Don't be shy, it's what teammates should do."
Her eyes were full of concern and encouragement, her brown eyes as warm as the afternoon sun.
Obito felt a "boom" as if something had exploded in his mind. His heart suddenly raced, his cheeks burned, and he almost instinctively opened his mouth.
The next second, Lin gently fed him the fragrant teriyaki chicken.
Hmm...—?!
Obito immediately tasted the slightly sweet flavor of the sauce on his tongue.
He blinked, only then belatedly realizing that Lin was indeed feeding him herself!
In that instant, it was as if countless fireworks exploded in Obito's mind at the same time. He felt lightheaded, as if his soul had flown to the sky.
"Is it good?" Lin asked with concern when she saw that he hadn't said anything for a while.
"Yay, delicious!" Obito nodded vigorously, quickly swallowing the chicken patty, his voice trembling slightly. "It's so good!"
His excited and satisfied expression made Lin burst out laughing.
The girl's eyes crinkled into a smile as she picked up another mouthful of snow-white rice and brought it to Obito's lips: "Then have another bite!"
Obito opened his mouth happily and ate, his mouth filled with the fragrance of rice.
He felt that what he was eating at that moment was not just rice, but simply a delicacy!
My God, this treatment—
He almost forgot.
Tied to a pillar and you get this kind of treatment?!
Obito was so happy he felt like he was about to ascend to heaven. He couldn't help but close his eyes and let out a long sigh of relief, feeling that every cell in his body was filled with contentment.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +1000!]
"Hey, Obito."
Just as Obito was basking in the boundless bliss of being fed, a lazy voice sounded beside him, "I have some too."
Obito turned his head in a daze and saw Kakashi carrying a lunchbox, preparing to walk over as well.
His eyes were fixed on Obito, a half-smile on his face, his expression unreadable.
"snort!"
Obito's face immediately hardened when he saw Kakashi's actions, and he glared at Kakashi with murderous intent.
The rejection in his eyes was very obvious!
Kakashi: "???"
Kakashi could easily see the naked "disdain" in Obito's eyes—this guy clearly only wanted to eat the food Rin fed him!
Kakashi was at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated. He shrugged and silently sat down again.
[Ding! Kakashi Hatake's emotional fluctuations have been detected! Emotional value +300!]
Then Lin picked up another one.
Obito caught it in one gulp.
I was overjoyed.
Sigh, he's so wrong!
What's wrong with tying it to a pillar?
Tying them to the pillar is absolutely fantastic!
How could I have forgotten?!
If Lin could feed him like this every day, he would be willing to be tied to a wooden stake every day!
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Uchiha Obito have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
The night passed quickly, and Obito awoke from a sweet dream.
He lay on the cold, hard stone slab, opened his eyes and stared blankly at the dark cave ceiling for a while. Thinking about everything that happened in his dream, a silly smile involuntarily appeared on his lips. He was still immersed in the afterglow of last night's dream and couldn't extricate himself.
"Obito! Obito! Are you alright?"
1
A deep, hoarse voice suddenly rang in his ears, abruptly pulling Obito back to reality from his reverie.
"Huh?!" Obito jolted awake.
He sat up abruptly and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a strange figure with one half of its body as black as ink and the other half as white as paper standing in the shadows not far away.
His striking black and white face was peering over, his bright yellow eyes fixed on the dazed Obito.
Obito frowned in displeasure and said in a stern voice, "Black Zetsu? What are you doing sneaking in like that! And couldn't you knock before coming in?"
Black Zetsu was taken aback at first, then spread out his black palms with a speechless expression: "- Knock on the door? What door is there in this cave for me to knock on! I called you several times already, and you didn't respond at all. I thought something had happened to you."
"A cave—?" Obito was stunned for a moment, looking around at the dark and damp underground cave before he finally came to his senses. He wasn't in a house in Amegakure; there were no doors here to block his way.
Thinking of this, Obito coughed slightly, a little embarrassed: "Ahem, is that so? Alright, what are you yelling about so early in the morning? What do you need me for?"
Black Zetsu snorted, no longer caring about his tone, and said seriously, "Nagato sent word that he wants you to return to Amegakure immediately, saying he has important matters to discuss with you. In addition, Itachi also sent information through White Zetsu's communication channels; he is also looking for you."
"Nagato—and Itachi?" Obito raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.
After Obito confidently believed he had subdued the Uchiha clan, he taught Itachi a secret technique for long-distance communication via White Zetsu for convenience, so that the two sides could exchange messages in a timely manner.
If someone contacts you proactively these days, it's probably because of something important.
"I understand." After a brief pause, Obito stood up briskly, stretched his slightly stiff shoulders and neck, then grabbed the black cloak beside him and draped it over his shoulders. "Pack up, we'll set off back to Amegakure immediately."
Seeing this, Black Zetsu slowly moved his body out of the rock wall, preparing to follow.
But his hesitant manner clearly indicated that he still had doubts.
Just before setting off, Black Zetsu finally couldn't help but ask, "By the way, Obito—Where's White Zetsu? Where did you take him? What's your purpose?"
His voice was low and probing: "You should know that this guy isn't an ordinary White Zetsu—he's extremely important to the 'Eye of the Moon' project—"
In the dimly lit cave, Obito listened quietly to Black Zetsu's words, remaining silent for a long time.
His only exposed eye narrowed slightly in the darkness, gleaming with a dangerous, cold light.
After a long pause, Obito suddenly laughed and walked straight up to Black Zetsu without stopping: "Hmph, you mean that White Zetsu? Don't worry, I'm just borrowing him for a short time. I'll return him to you soon."
He paused deliberately, then said with a playful tone, "What's wrong, Black Zetsu? Are you in such a hurry for him? Or is it—"
Obito suddenly closed the distance to Black Zetsu by half a step, his deep voice echoing in the empty cave: "What are you worried about?"
