Chapter 20 - Grumpy Obito

"That kid, is he Kakashi's student, that failure?"

Outside an izakaya in Konoha, Obito appeared within a large tree.

His black robe made him blend with the night, and his eerie scarlet eyes were staring at the window of that izakaya.

Through the window, he could see that although Kakashi was still a bit listless, he revealed a smile.

Guy was putting his arm around Kakashi saying something, while Jiraiya was acting unrestrained, flirting with the pretty waitress.

And sitting opposite them was a black-haired young man and Naruto, both bowing their heads and gobbling down their food.

Obito recognized who it was almost immediately. He carefully sized up this kid, and after a while, he shook his head.

"Hmph, he looks very ordinary, doesn't he?"

"Oh my, I didn't expect you'd have times when you misjudge, Obito."

Just at this moment, a White Zetsu popped up beside him, the white half of his face showing a strange smile.

"That kid has a lot of Chakra, you know, and when you were his age, you weren't as strong as him. At least you didn't avoid Kakashi's curse."

"Shut up!"

For a moment, Obito really wanted to strangle White Zetsu, but fortunately, he restrained himself in the end.

Part of the reason he had come here this time was because he was provoked by White Zetsu's words. He wanted to see what was so special about this kid.

Why couldn't he escape that dangerous situation back then, and most importantly, why not Rin?

Yet this kid managed to survive?

He didn't blame Kakashi as he was certain all of this was the world's problem, but that didn't mean he could accept it.

"This kid is just lucky, maybe he has some talent, but that's all."

"It's better to be careful, that kid doesn't seem simple."

Black Zetsu, who hadn't spoken, couldn't help but interrupt the two of them at this moment.

He frowned, looking at the distant Takemi and spoke, "His aura isn't right, I can't say exactly what it is for a moment, but we must be careful."

Black Zetsu is a life created by Kaguya, so his perception naturally far surpasses ordinary people.

But he isn't a true Ōtsutsuki, and Takemi 's bloodline development is very low, so he naturally couldn't perceive the whole picture, but this was enough to attract his attention.

"Oh?"

Obito raised an eyebrow, it seemed he had become a bit intrigued.

Obito said, "It seems I should find an opportunity to test this kid."

"Sigh, don't you have more important things to do?"

White Zetsu looked at Obito doubtfully and asked, "Didn't you say you were going to see that... Sasuke, to warn Itachi ? Why did you change targets again?"

"It won't hinder anything, it's just something I can do easily." Obito coldly snorted, his gaze becoming a bit profound.

"Itachi serves the Akatsuki in exchange for me not causing trouble for Konoha and Sasuke, but this time he broke the agreement first."

"As a warning, I won't go too far, I only need some simple and real information about Sasuke."

"As for this kid, just consider it a warning to Itachi, and while I'm at it, it's also good to test what he's made of."

"Oh my, what warning to Itachi ?"

White Zetsu blinked, then said with a chuckle, "After all is said and done, you still can't accept reality, can you?"

Obito angrily said, "If you talk nonsense again, I'll kill you right now!"

"Ah, ah, ah, so scary, Obito, don't do anything reckless..."

"Shut up!"

Seeing White Zetsu and Obito start quarrelling again, Black Zetsu didn't stop them either, his gaze was still on Takemi.

"What's with this kid? What is that feeling of both familiarity and strangeness?"

Time flew by, and Takemi and the others finally finished their celebration.

"We actually spent so much money?!"

Jiraiya looked at the bill in his hand, feeling heartache. He turned his head and glared fiercely at Takemi.

"You kid, how can you eat so much?!"

"I don't know either, I was just hungry..."

Takemi shrugged innocently, he now seemed to somewhat understand why Hinata could eat so much.

Hinata is indeed a famous big eater, and she is also the true 'Byakugan Princess'.

In some sense, her bloodline might be quite close to her ancestor, and even she can eat so much, so it's not strange that Takemi, who has the legitimate Otsutsuki bloodline, can eat a lot too.

Takemi said, "If there's nothing else, Naruto and I will go back first."

"Go, go, you two kids who only know how to eat, don't disturb this sage's nightlife!"

Jiraiya waved his hand with a look of disgust. Takemi immediately pulled Naruto, who had eaten until his stomach was about to burst, bowed slightly, and then left.

While Jiraiya still had a look of disgust, as the two left, his gaze slowly became gentle, and finally, a smile appeared on his face.

"This kid is really interesting."

Only when he couldn't see Takemi and Naruto did Jiraiya finally turn his head to look at Kakashi beside him.

"You've got a really good student, Kakashi."

Kakashi said, "Although Takemi's ideas are sometimes outrageous, he is indeed a kind-hearted child."

With Guy's support, Kakashi's exposed eye revealed his happiness. .

"And his talent is outstanding, I'm afraid it won't be long before I won't be able to teach him anything anymore."

"Indeed, Takemi learns everything quite quickly." Guy nodded along, recalling the time he had spent together with Takemi.

He ghen laughed and said, "You're really lucky, I wanted to apply to teach him, but you got there first. Darn it, why didn't you send him back to the academy back then?"

"Alright, you two stop talking. And Kakashi, you still came over even in this state." Jiraiya timely interrupted the two of them.

He stroked his chin and then spoke, "But it's really interesting, I didn't expect we would actually meet Naruto in this way."

"Mm, that's true."

Kakashi also nodded along.

When he was in the Anbu, he had observed Naruto quite a bit. But seeing him face to face like just now? It was the first time.

...

"I ate... so much."

On the other side, on the streets of Konoha, Naruto was rubbing his stomach while following Takemi as they walked towards their home.

Naruto asked, "That's strange, you ate so much and you're fine?"

"You think I'm you?" Takemi raised an eyebrow, shaking his head amusedly.

"Also, how did you feel today? I said that although they aren't very reliable, they definitely wouldn't dislike you, right?"

"Yeah, they are all very nice."

Recalling everything about tonight's dinner, Naruto smiled but soon, he thought of something and complained, "That white-haired guy... He's just a pervert!"

"Wrong."

Takemi shook his head, saying, "He's a super pervert!"

"..."

Naruto opened his mouth but he didn't know what to say.

Takemi tilted his head and continued speaking, "But he's also a very powerful Ninja. If he teaches you, you will definitely make rapid progress. Why don't you develop a Jutsu?"

"Huh?" Naruto pointed to himself in disbelief.

"Me?"

Takemi said, "Right, you've learned the Transformation Jutsu, haven't you? Use Transformation Jutsu to turn into a beautiful woman to trick that pervert, it's incredibly effective!"

Takemi knew that Naruto's talent in this area was beyond just great.

Sarutobi Hiruzen and Ebisu were all 'defeated opponents', and Naruto even used some 'Reverse Harem Jutsu' to charm even the legendary Mother of Chakra.

If he doesn't make good use of this, won't it be too much of a waste?

"Hey, you're so perverted!"

Naruto muttered discontentedly, but his eyes darted, clearly tempted.

Just as he was still contemplating, he suddenly noticed that Takemihad suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?"

Naruto looked at Takemi in confusion, but following Takemi's gaze, he saw a lone figure walking towards the distance under the moonlight.

"Huh, is that... Sasuke?"
