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 Kakashi's turn.
Just as the group was caught in a dilemma, Lin, who had been keeping her head down, suddenly raised her hand slightly and stammered, "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 clearly me—"
"It's nothing!"
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 damned 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 couldn't let Lin be punished—
Obito Uchiha would never allow Rin to be tied to a wooden stake and starve!
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, looking dejected, 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 beforehand 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 and said casually, "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!"
Lin 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 so close to him, his nose still catching the faint scent of soapberry mixed with the aroma of food emanating from Lin.
"Open your mouth, Obito."
Seeing him standing there dumbfounded, Lin blushed slightly and gently urged, "Don't be shy, this is 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, then belatedly realized—
Lin is really feeding 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.
"Y-yourself!" Obito nodded vigorously, quickly swallowing the bite of chicken whole, his voice trembling slightly. "It's so delicious!"
His excited and satisfied expression made Lin burst out laughing.
The girl smiled and picked up another mouthful of snow-white rice, bringing 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!
Good heavens, 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 happiness 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, making it impossible to discern his expression.
"Humph!"
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 undisguised disdain in Obito's eyes—
This guy clearly only wants to eat the food Lin feeds him!
Kakashi was at a loss for words, feeling both amused and exasperated. He shrugged sheepishly and sat down silently.
[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, staring blankly at the dark cave ceiling for a while. As he thought about what had happened in his dream, a silly smile involuntarily crept onto his lips. He was still immersed in the afterglow of last night's dream and couldn't pull himself out of it.
"Obito! Obito! Are you alright?"
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 here like this! And couldn't you knock before you came 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 just now, 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 a little awkwardly, "Ahem, is that so? Alright, what are you yelling about so early in the morning? What do you want?"
Black Zetsu snorted, no longer caring about his tone, and said seriously, "Nagato sent a message asking 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 Itachi Uchiha, he taught Itachi a secret technique for long-distance communication via White Zetsu for convenience, so that the two could exchange messages in a timely manner.
If Itachi has taken the initiative to contact us now, it's most likely because there's something important going on.
"I understand." After a brief pause, Obito stood up briskly, stretched his slightly stiff shoulders and neck, and then grabbed the black cloak lying beside him and put it on. "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... what about White Zetsu? Where did you take him? What's your purpose?"
His voice was low and probing: "You should know that 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 moment, Obito suddenly let out a sneer 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 after I'm done."
He paused deliberately, then said with a playful tone, "What, Black Zetsu, are you in such a hurry for him?... Or perhaps—"
Obito suddenly took half a step closer to Black Zetsu, his deep voice echoing in the empty cave: "What are you worried about?"
Chapter 186 Obito: Does the Sharingan consume that much energy?
The land of rain.
In a secluded mountain ravine 30 miles away from Yuyin Village, the air was filled with the scent of damp earth.
At the top of the cliff, two figures stood silently.
