Chapter 164:
Obito was grinding his teeth in frustration. No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't figure out why this was happening to him.
Luckily, at the critical moment, Obito had moved the ice coffin sealing Rin away. Otherwise, seeing certain scenes might have made him completely break down.
This wasn't an exaggeration—just looking at the Uchiha clan's average rate of severe mental illness, it wasn't impossible.
Obito spent half the day researching in his Kamui space but found no clues at all.
These black orbs kept throwing garbage at him, but he couldn't enter them or scout the other side.
And sound couldn't transmit through either.
In other words, Obito knew absolutely nothing about the world connected to his Kamui space.
It was as if… he lacked permission or something.
To put it simply and understandably: the world on the other side was the teacher, and Obito's Kamui space was the student. Whether the teacher told the student to sit in class or stand outside as punishment wasn't up to the student.
The hierarchical relationship was painfully obvious, and Obito was helpless.
In the end, Obito came up with a solution that wasn't really a solution.
He set up portals of the same size beneath each black orb, leading to the outside world.
These portals were locations Obito chose himself.
And so…
The garbage from My World passed through the space rifts into Obito's Kamui space, then through Kamui space into Obito's portals.
However… it was then sent from Obito's portals to the "locations Obito set for the portals."
And these "locations Obito set for the portals" were very deliberate.
After all… Obito had zero good feelings toward Kirigakure.
…
Land of Water, Kirigakure, Mizukage Building.
Mei Terumī sat gracefully at her desk reviewing documents. Kirigakure was in the midst of reconstruction—her workload and decisions as Mizukage would shape the village's future.
Mei's safety was also a top priority for Kirigakure.
Suddenly…
An unknown object appeared above Mei's head and smashed down toward her.
Swish swish swish~
In less than half a second, four or five kunai flew with pinpoint accuracy toward the object.
The object was nailed to the wall. Four or five Kirigakure ANBU appeared in the room.
"Mizukage-sama, are you alright?"
Mei looked up at the bottle nailed to the wall, her elegant brows furrowing: "Why is there a bottle here?"
"And it's a used drink bottle?"
"Take it to the research department for analysis. Find out who's throwing garbage into the Mizukage Building!"
Kirigakure ANBU: "Yes!"
However, the strange occurrences in the air didn't stop.
Used disposable chopsticks, plastic bags, tissues…
…
Inside the Amenominaka space, after Naruto and the others finished eating and drinking, they were discussing the next plan.
Naruto pointed to a mark on the map, eyes shining: "I heard the hot springs here are great. Should we go try them?"
Hearing this, Sakyo instinctively rejected: "No way. Let's go to Short Book Street first. Didn't you want to make money?"
"Speaking of which, why are you so sure you can make money?"
Sakyo's topic-shifting skill was pretty good. If they went to the hot springs, Naruto would definitely take the chance to get handsy—maybe even show her some new tricks.
Thinking of this, a faint blush rose on Sakyo's cheeks…
Naruto didn't notice Sakyo's abnormality. After thinking for a moment, he directly agreed: "Fine!"
"As for why I'm sure I can make money? Isn't that simple?"
"Because I said I would make money! Mm!"
Little Black stood silently beside them, occasionally sneaking glances at Naruto from the corner of her eye.
She found Naruto more and more attractive—not from Sakyo's memories, but because Little Black kept perfecting Naruto's image in her heart, making him more and more ideal.
But Little Black didn't dare be too obvious, so neither Naruto nor Sakyo noticed.
Right now, Naruto still had no idea that the "garbage bins" he made out of boredom had driven Obito to the brink of mental collapse—and had incidentally affected the Mizukage Building.
Mei had already ordered her subordinates to analyze Naruto and the others' household garbage to find out who dared act so brazenly in the Mizukage Building…
…
"As the saying goes, travel early—otherwise you'll get sunburned at noon."
After Naruto and Sakyo exited My World, they immediately started traveling.
Little Black stayed alone in the Amenominaka world.
In truth, for traveling, Naruto alone would be enough.
But Sakyo was very happy to accompany him—otherwise this trip would lack some flavor.
After determining the direction, the two didn't waste any time and began hurrying on their way.
As they passed the town entrance, Naruto and Sakyo saw a luxurious caravan marked with the daimyō's mansion insignia.
It was obviously people from the Land of Fire's daimyō mansion.
No need to think—Naruto knew they were here because of yesterday's Mizunaka incident. But Naruto was too lazy to deal with them and didn't want to waste time, so he ignored them.
…
Inside the Amenominaka space.
Little Black stood alone in Naruto and Sakyo's room, experiencing an intense inner conflict.
Should I go in?
Maybe I could gather useful intelligence and find out how far Naruto and Sakyo have gone.
No~ Don't go in!
If I get discovered, I'll die!
No, I still want to go in, but the danger is too great…
Little Black struggled for a long time before finally mustering the courage to place her hand on the doorknob.
Creak~
"Phew~ It opened."
In the quiet environment, Little Black could even hear her own rapid heartbeat.
"I'm going in…"
Little Black slightly opened her eyes and slowly pushed the door open, walking inside.
She carefully observed everything in the room, not wanting to miss a single detail.
Mm… the room was neat and odor-free.
A mountain of plushies occupied half the floor space. There was a wardrobe, a table, and two chairs.
"The wardrobe…"
Even though Naruto and Sakyo weren't in the Amenominaka space, Little Black still tiptoed over, afraid of making noise and being discovered.
She opened the wardrobe and instinctively took a deep breath…
"Maid outfit… and… strips? Bunny-ear headband?"
Little Black stood in front of the wardrobe with a flushed face and racing heart, feeling a mix of envy and pain.
But… looking at the maid outfit, it seemed Sakyo hadn't worn it yet.
And in Little Black's opinion, Sakyo wouldn't wear that kind of clothing.
How about… I try it on?
Little Black reached toward the unopened maid outfit, then stopped mid-air.
She shook her head: No no no—if I open it, I'll get caught.
Ding~
A faint sound came from the living room.
Little Black hurriedly closed the wardrobe door, nearly scared out of her wits. She quickly asked: "Who's there!!!"
