Chapter 12 The White Zetsu's Return to Work
The next day.
North of the Uchiha Ike clan's territory, there is an old house made of blue stone.
crunch--
The door was opened.
Uchiha Ike stepped outside, looked up at the azure sky, and smiled contentedly.
"Today is another day full of hope."
[Name: Uchiha Ike]
Age: 14
Chakra: 700 (+300) (Chunin Standard: 1000)
[Skills: Three Body Technique, Immobilization Technique, Body Flicker Technique, Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique, Leaf Hollow Rise, Leaf Whirlwind]
【Characteristics: Uchiha bloodline (single tomoe); Medical ninjutsu talent (Rin Nohara version); Fire Release ninjutsu talent (Fugaku Uchiha version)】
[Additional damage increase: 29%]
[Bonus Defense: 21%]
Points earned: 80
After several days of building good relationships, Uchiha Ike's points have returned to 80.
Incidentally, the increase in each type of bloodline limit increases exponentially. For example, if it required 50 points last time, it will require 100 points next time, and so on.
In other words, he is only 20 points away from unlocking the double-tomoe Sharingan.
Realizing this, Uchiha Ike went to bed at nine o'clock last night so that he could go out early today and find a suitable bond.
"So, who will be the bond today...?"
boom!
Closing the door, filled with anticipation, Uchiha Ike left home.
#
Uchiha clan.
White Zetsu Agan arrived here early in the morning.
He just returned from the mountain cemetery last night, and today is his first day back at work.
Since Madara Uchiha ordered everything to proceed as usual, even if it hated encountering Uchiha Ike, it still had to play the role of an old lady.
After all, Obito's extreme and obsessive personality is a rare resource in the entire ninja world. If he wasn't properly nurtured, Madara Uchiha would have simply wiped him out.
but--
"Where's my cane...?"
Looking at his empty right hand, White Zetsu, now disguised as an old woman, tilted his head in confusion.
It couldn't remember where it had put the cane that had been made from its own ribs.
Half an hour passed.
"Never mind..." Agan shook his head.
No one would actually stick a cane into the ground; even if someone did, you'd never guess who it was.
White Zetsu Forrest Gump stopped thinking about it and quietly stood on the deserted street to wait.
A short while later, a middle-aged woman with exceptionally fair skin turned the corner and nodded to Agan, who was disguised as an old woman.
Agan understood immediately. Just as he brushed past the middle-aged man, he cried out in pain and fell straight to the ground.
A few seconds later, a series of hurried footsteps came from behind.
White Zetsu Agan pretended to struggle to look up and saw that the person who came was its target, Uchiha Obito.
When Obito Uchiha saw Agan lying on the ground, he immediately quickened his pace and ran over, his face full of anxiety: "Grandma, are you alright?!"
Hearing Obito's long-lost words of concern, even though he wasn't human, Forrest felt the joy of reunion.
Great, it's Obito.
Finally, it's not that fake instant noodle hair anymore...
If he had tear ducts, Forrest Gump felt he would have burst into tears.
Even a third-rate actor like him deserves respect!
"It's nothing, it's nothing, I just tripped and fell."
White Zetsu Agan smiled kindly and made a gesture of propping himself up.
Seeing this, Obito Uchiha quickly reached out to help him up.
White Zetsu Forrest Gump was even more moved.
Over the past week, Uchiha Ike has also been helping it frequently, but it's completely different from how Obito handled it!
That guy would always squat down to the side and carefully observe whether it could get up on its own, and would also earnestly ask it if it felt like it was about to faint.
Not only that, Uchiha Ike also made it promise that it fell down on its own and that it couldn't claim that it was the one who bumped into it after getting up!
Even when White Zetsu tried to get up on its own, it was forcefully held down and Uchiha Ike seriously informed it of the risk of fractures and that it shouldn't move...
Why would an Uchiha who's never even left their village be so wary?!
Just by recalling it, White Zetsu Agan felt more and more how kind and adorable Obito was in front of him.
As it got up from the ground, it sincerely thanked the child, saying, "Thank you, you're such a good child."
"Hehe, it's all part of my job..."
Obito touched his nose sheepishly, then bent down to help White Zetsu to his feet.
Just then.
A familiar voice suddenly rang out from behind the two of them.
"Obito?"
Even if you can't see their expression, you can feel their joy from their tone of voice.
"who--"
Just as White Zetsu Agan was about to turn around, he felt a huge force pushing against his back. His body, which had just stood up, instantly lost its balance and he fell to the ground with a thud.
click-
White Zetsu Agan's body twitched violently.
Even without feeling pain, it clearly felt that two of its ribs were broken.
Obito stared dumbfounded at the White Zetsu, who had fallen to the ground, not quite understanding why the other would suddenly perform a fall on flat ground for him.
Obito looked at Forrest Gump with a worried expression: "Grandma, are you alright?"
"..."
But White Zetsu Agan had no mind to answer Obito's concern; he simply turned around with difficulty to look at the one who had caused all of this.
When that familiar ramen noodle-shaped head came into view, White Zetsu Agan suddenly felt a surge of inexplicable anger.
For the first time, it was thankful that it didn't have a heart, otherwise its blood pressure might have exploded by now.
"Obito, good afternoon!"
Ignoring the fallen White Zetsu Agan, Uchiha Ike smiled and retracted his outstretched left leg, nodding to Uchiha Obito.
[Detection of confusion from Obito Uchiha]
[Gain 10 points and increase damage by 2%!]
[Anger detected from White Zetsu Forrest Gump!]
[Gain 15 points and increase damage by 3%!]
Seeing the message flashing across the system, Uchiha Ike's smile couldn't be more genuine.
Upon hearing the sound, Obito shifted his gaze from the White Zetsu and looked ahead.
"Uchiha Ike...!"
Obito gasped in surprise, then his eyes sharpened.
To my surprise, I ran into my number one rival in love right here in the clan's territory...
"It's no use greeting me. I won't give Rin to you!" Obito said coldly.
Uchiha Ike was slightly taken aback, not expecting the other party to say this as soon as he opened his mouth.
But he quickly got into character, his eyes lowering slightly, and he gave a wry smile, saying, "How did you know? Did Lin tell you?"
"!!!"
Seeing Uchiha Ike's expression, Obito realized that what he had just said revealed that he knew about Uchiha Ike's confession to Rin.
How should I answer this question?
Should we admit that he spied on us?
How is that possible...?
In the blink of an eye.
Suddenly, the words that Uchiha Ike had just said echoed in Obito's mind.
"Did Lin tell you...?"
Got it!
Obito, hands on his hips, said with righteous indignation:
"That's right, Lin has told me everything!"
