"Boing!"
"Ah! Obito, what did you do!"
Kakashi wiped the unknown liquid from his face in horror, his eyes wide as he stared at Obito. A lingering warmth seemed to remain on his face. Damn it!
Obito stood frozen, completely bewildered as to why this had happened. He could still taste Kakashi's lips. Oh gods! I'm tainted!
"Wuwuwu! What should I do, Rin! I'm tainted!"
Nohara Rin's eyes were as wide as saucers. She couldn't believe what she had just witnessed. Did Obito… kiss Kakashi? This… this couldn't be happening! It must be a hallucination!
Might Guy, who had been standing between the two, had witnessed the entire process of Uchiha Obito kissing Hatake Kakashi. He was a bit dazed. What was going on? Might Guy suddenly felt a sense of shattered glass, though not intensely, as he looked at Kakashi's seemingly "blushing" cheeks.
Might Guy thought to himself: Is this another way to challenge someone? Did Obito just defeat Kakashi? If I have the chance later, I must try this with Kakashi too! Youth will not allow me to fail!
And the instigator of it all, Uzumaki Rin! He looked at the mission in his mind with disappointment. The three claimable words had not appeared at all. It seemed this approach wouldn't work!
"Prompting, prompting. Doesn't this count as prompting? Does Obito have to actively kiss Kakashi?"
Rin's head sank. If that were the case, hadn't his current actions backfired, making the task more difficult?!
Damn it! Should have left a bad review for no instruction manual! Second-hand system!
Just moments ago, a sudden idea struck Rin. He loosened his grip on Obito and Kakashi's heads. Due to inertia, they inevitably lunged towards each other. Kakashi reacted quickly. Seeing the situation, he tilted his head to the left.
But Obito couldn't. He crashed directly into Kakashi, head against head, face against face. As Kakashi turned his head, Obito's lips grazed Kakashi's cheek.
In the end, it was all because the two were too much in sync. The accident happened so coincidentally.
Hearing Rin's sigh, Obito, his face red, said to Rin, "Teacher Rin! Why did you suddenly let go, causing me to kiss… crash into Kakashi!"
As for kissing Kakashi, those words were something Uchiha Obito would never utter in this lifetime! Never!
Kakashi, also blushing, seemed to have a surge of blood to his face. His mask, which covered half his face, was pulled up even higher, almost covering his eyes. *Cough cough*, he looked just like a blushing bride.
Rin rubbed his hands, feigning exhaustion. "You two have so much energy, how could a teacher stop you! Obito, you need to reflect on yourself, you're too impulsive! And Kakashi, why have I never seen this childish side of you before."
Kakashi looked at Rin with disdain, as if saying: With one hand, you could probably lift ten Obito's and spin them around!
Obito scratched his head after hearing that. He didn't know Rin's strength and thought he had a point. Embarrassed, he said, "I'm sorry, Teacher Rin. I'll be careful next time!"
Obito had a very good impression of Uzumaki Rin, who "recognized" him as his teacher! Unlike that white-haired guy who always antagonized him!
Thinking of the white-haired guy, Obito was reminded of what just happened. He quickly pulled up his sleeve and frantically wiped his mouth.
Seeing Obito acting so disgusted with him, Kakashi felt a surge of anger. You were slow to react, causing me to be kissed… no, to be crashed into! And now you're disgusted!
Uchiha Obito! I, Hatake Kakashi, am not done with you!
Hmph!
They both turned their heads away and snorted. Nohara Rin looked at them in shock, a little lost.
Rin, on the other hand, was preoccupied with his mission. Alas, why was it a timed mission!
Otherwise, Rin could have continued to laze around, just like the mission with Jiraiya and Orochimaru. Rin had prepared for a long time and was waiting for the end of the Third Great Ninja War to implement it. He never expected a timed mission to be issued suddenly.
This was heaven's way of telling him, Rin, to show his true abilities!
As for the "bottoming out" mission in the cumulative tasks, Rin didn't even want to look at it now! Whoever wants to do it can do it!
Although the Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack was tempting, he, Rin, had principles! How old was Madara now? At least fifty or sixty years old. Asking him to princess-carry a young and strong Hashirama? Wouldn't that be difficult for Madara!
Absolutely not! Absolutely not! This is definitely not an excuse!
This mission, unless it rained pie from the sky! Otherwise, I, Uzumaki Rin, would never do such a foolish thing!
...
"Cough, cough, Sakumo, recuperate well at home. I hope to see the White Fang of Konoha return to the battlefield." Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at the sky. It was getting late. If he didn't go back to process documents, he'd be sleeping in his office again today!
"Hokage-sama, I can return to the battlefield right now!" Hatake Sakumo clenched his fists, his expression firm.
Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand and said, "What Konoha needs now is the White Fang, not a Jonin, do you understand, Sakumo!"
Hatake Sakumo, his eyes reddened, said in a low voice, "Yes!"
Might Duy was also moved, or rather, he was always ready. He said, "Hokage-sama, I… I also want to participate in the war, I also want to contribute my strength to Konoha!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that Might Duy was just a Genin, but he couldn't bear to say it. He said, "The war situation isn't that severe yet, and Konoha also needs defense. Duy, for now, you'll join the guard unit."
"Yes! I will definitely protect Konoha well. If the enemy wants to step into Konoha village, it will only be over my dead body!" Might Duy felt his blood boiling. The dance of youth. He had a premonition that his thirty years of hard work and struggle were all for this war!
He was going to ignite!
After Hiruzen Sarutobi left, Might Duy also bid farewell. He hadn't done his warm-up exercises for the day yet!
Might Duy felt that what happened today had ignited his passion. His warm-up exercises would have to be at least 5000 laps!
"Kai! Let's go, let's cheer for our youth!"
"Okay! Father, I'm coming right away!"
Might Kai responded to Might Duy and quickly turned back to try and say to Kakashi, "Kakashi, Kakashi! I challenge you! Let's have a youthful competition!"
Kakashi still seemed annoyed about what had just happened. He pulled his mask up further and said, "I'm not interested in accepting your challenge right now. Maybe next time."
Might Kai was a bit disappointed, but he glanced at Obito, then at Kakashi, and mustered his courage, leaning in and whispering, "If… if Kakashi, you want to have *that kind* of competition with me, I can accept it too!"
"Huh?"
Kakashi looked at Might Kai in bewilderment, then glanced at Obito. Suddenly, he understood! With lightning speed, he retreated until he hit the wall, his pupils wide!
Kakashi shouted inwardly: Help! None of the people around me are normal!
