Chapter 118. Youth Never Gives Up Halfway
---
Today.
The weather was clear.
The sun was shining, and the breeze was gentle.
The village was bustling, filled with laughter and cheerful voices.
After all, today was the day Kumogakure had arranged to co to Konoha to form an alliance.
As a result—
Konoha had been lively since early morning, even more so than when the Kiri ninjas had visited.
You know, once the two sides form an alliance, it ans that the Ninja World War is really over. There may still be a small part of the Ninja World in chaos, but overall, peace has arrived.
This is cause for celebration.
That's why Sarutobi Hiruzen and the others attached great importance to Kumogakure's visit.
The mont their representatives appeared, Hiruzen, as the Hokage, arrived promptly to greet them.
After both sides exchanged warm greetings—
"Yo, yo, Konoha's got a billion—"
Before Killer Bee could finish his rap, he was imdiately interrupted by the Kumo ninja beside him.
"When Bee-sama ca to Konoha, he was attracted by the scenic spots and customs of the villagers. Please don't mind . Bee-sama hopes to walk around. If possible, I hope Konoha can send a ninja to accompany us and introduce us to the surroundings." He smiled slightly, "I heard about Yuto Milk Tea and Yuto BBQ on the battlefield. The food there is very delicious. I yearned for it. This ti I ca to Konoha, how can a Kumo Ninja not taste it?"
"Hahaha!" As the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt much more comfortable when he heard soone praising Konoha like that. He nodded and said, "In that case, let take you around in person. There are still many interesting places in Konoha."
"Will this be too much trouble for Hokage-sama? Just send a random ninja."
"It's no trouble at all. It's all for the sake of peace in the ninja world."
At that mont, both hosts and guests were full of goodwill, exchanging polite words with mutual respect. The atmosphere was light and joyful.
...
Later...
Led by the Third Hokage himself, the group strolled through Konoha. When they passed by Yuto Milk Tea, there was no need for an introduction.
Everyone was drawn in by curiosity and couldn't resist going inside. When they erged, each of the representatives was holding a cup of milk tea.
Even Killer Bee found it hard to believe. Had it not been for the Eight-Tails reassuring him that everything was normal, he might've thought he was under so kind of genjutsu.
No wonder Yuto Milk Tea is famous across the battlefield!
The taste really was impressive.
At that mont—
Holding his milk tea, Killer Bee suddenly thought of a certain master and student duo who had brought great losses to Kumogakure on the battlefield.
Inspiration struck.
His body began to move involuntarily as he rapped: "Yo, Konoha's got a billion, Yo, Konoha's got ass-aulter, Yo, Konoha's got the Yellow Flash, Yo, yo, Yo, yo, Konoha's the cradle of geniuses! The cradle of geniuses!"
Jumping and rapping alongside the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen was left completely stunned.
What on earth is this guy doing?
He'd heard rumors that the Fourth Raikage's partner was a bit eccentric, but he never expected him to be this eccentric.
Even the Kumo ninjas looked helpless.
After all, this was Killer Bee-sama—they couldn't exactly stop him.
After so ti...
"Stick your butt up! Stick your butt up! I've suffered a huge loss! I've suffered a huge loss! The battle is over, I'm so ashad!"
With that final verse, the dance stopped too. Killer Bee struck a pose, gave a dramatic shake, and then returned to normal.
Imdiately—
"Clap, Clap, Clap!"
The surrounding villagers, attracted by the excitent, gathered together and imdiately broke into warm applause.
"What kind of song was that?"
"Must be an original! Definitely original! And that dance, it's way more entertaining than the one perford by that old man at the dance hall!"
"That's Uchiha taijutsu, not so dance routine! But... was he praising Konoha?"
"Of course! I heard that during the war, his squad encountered Minato-sama's team and suffered devastating losses; it was unbearable to look at. Even now, the ninjas who ca down from the battlefield are still unable to describe it in words!"
"Did they get hit with so terrifying forbidden jutsu?"
"I know! I know! It was Obito-sama—that terrifying ninja!"
Everyone outside the door was talking at once.
Inside the Milk Tea Shop...
"Calm down, Obito! Don't lose your temper! They are worshipping you!"
"Obito-sama! Let's take a rest today. Don't act rashly. It's not in keeping with your status. It won't be too late to take revenge later!"
"Idiot!"
"Huh? Obito, what's wrong with you?"
A group of young people tried to hold back an angry, black-haired man, but they suddenly noticed that his body seed to distort unnaturally.
Their expressions changed instantly.
But before anyone could say anything—
Obito snapped back to his senses. "I'm so pissed!"
The distortion disappeared, and he returned to normal, though his face... kept shifting between green and pale blue. He didn't bother explaining what had just happened.
"We're all ninjas! So what if it's underhanded? So what if it's a little twisted? It's all for the mission!"
Can't this ninja world be just a bit more tolerant?
"Obito just now..."
At that mont—
"What a lively scene! Another day full of youth!" A figure in green burst into the room, imdiately drawing everyone's attention. "Huh? Everyone's here!"
Might Guy bead with excitent when he saw Kakashi and the others. Especially when his gaze landed on Kakashi, his whole body seed to ignite with fiery enthusiasm as he shouted, "Kakashi! I've grown stronger, please accept my challenge!"
Before Kakashi could respond—
"I accept!"
A voice rang out.
But it wasn't Kakashi.
It was Obito, who slamd the table furiously and stood up.
"The future Hokage of Konoha—Uchiha Obito—accepts your challenge!"
"..." Might Guy fell silent.
It seed like... all his fiery montum fizzled out. His body even trembled slightly as if all the excitent had vanished, leaving him in a sudden state of emptiness.
Youth... is gone?
"Obito, I was challenging Kakashi."
"Sa difference. If you can beat , it's the sa as beating Kakashi!"
After Obito's bold declaration—
"..." Kakashi didn't say a word. He just rolled his eyes, hesitated briefly, then nodded.
Fine. Whatever.
As long as you don't bother .
"Let's go!" Obito, still annoyed and eager to vent, shouted, "We'll settle this out back!"
Just then—
"Oh? Guy, you're back? Hey, there's an order to deliver. Hurry—" Sato poked his head in, spotting the group gathered together. He paused for a mont, then smiled. "Oh, having a little get-together? In that case, never mind—I'll have soone else handle it—"
Before he could finish—
"BOOM!"
It was as if flas erupted once more.
Youth!
It had never left!
Might Guy snatched the delivery bag, shouting passionately, "How can I let soone else handle the youth? Uncle Sato! Everyone! I'll be right back!"
With that—
He vanished in a flash of green light, disappearing from sight.
Swift as the wind!
"..."
Kakashi and the others twitched at the corners of their mouths but didn't say anything, simply staring at the stunned Obito.
Suddenly—
"Argh! Damn it! Guy, you coward—you've changed!" Obito shouted in frustration, turning his head sharply toward Asuma. "Asuma... help !"
Imdiately—
Asuma's face stiffened, his buttocks tightened, and a chill ran down his spine. Forcing a strained smile, he said, "Obito... how about we go to the dance hall instead? I heard those Kumo ninjas are already there."
Help you?
All kidding aside, he'd rather watch a bunch of old ladies dance.
