Naruto's use of the Sexy Technique and Harem Technique on the green field failed to distract Sasuke, but it certainly got the spectators off the field fired up. Even after the match, a wealthy merchant from the Land of Hot Water insisted that Naruto endorse their hot springs.
Unfortunately, Naruto Uzumaki would soon return to the Scroll World. How could he keep endorsing the Land of Hot Water's hot springs forever?
But the wealthy merchant refused to give up. He had to find a ninja who could use those two outstanding ninjutsu!
"That's just the basic Transformation Technique. Anyone can do it!!"
As for Shadow Clone Jutsu!
Hmph! When it came to chakra, if the Uzumaki Clan claimed to be second, what clan would dare call itself first?!
"Oh, then..."
The wealthy merchant's gaze shifted toward Jin Uzumaki, who had been guarding the goal.
The young Uzumaki boy, who looked a little like Nagato as a child, flushed bright red and shook his head hard. A firm refusal!!
"No, no, no, Clan Head! I-I'm way too shy for that. I really can't do it!" Jin Uzumaki shook his head frantically, looking like he was about to burst into tears.
The poor kid was even stuttering.
Faced with the wealthy merchant's relentless pressure, the delicate-looking boy who resembled Nagato as a child kept backing away, shaking his head like a rattle drum, his red hair slapping against his snow-white little face.
"I can't. I really can't do that."
He looked so pitiful that it was both funny and heartbreaking.
The real question was, if they forced this poor innocent into the trade this time, would some silver-haired man with slicked-back hair in the future one day see Nagato, throw himself flat on the ground, and start shouting "Jashin-sama"?
In any case, amid that atmosphere, the ninja clans of the Land of Fire formed their alliance.
Izuna Uchiha and Tobirama Senju put in no small amount of effort on the competition and policy side.
As for Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju, who had no serious work to do, their days were spent accompanying their younger brothers, then accompanying their younger brothers, and still accompanying their younger brothers. It was as though they wanted to make up for everything they had lost decades ago.
Madara Uchiha even used Susanoo while helping build Konoha in this Warring States Period, taking his younger brothers into Susanoo's cockpit and flying into the sky.
Although Hashirama's Great Buddha was impressive enough to turn heads, it could not fly, so it still lacked a certain something.
As a result, young Kawarama and young Itama were still somewhat envious of Madara's younger brothers, which left Hashirama a little depressed.
During this period of healing, Madara Uchiha recovered the high spirits of his youth. He deliberately piloted the Susanoo Gundam over the head of Hashirama Senju's Great Buddha, letting Hashirama's younger brothers get a proper taste of envy, then swept his own younger brothers away with a whoosh.
That smugness...
Hashirama Senju: ""
That's right. Even Hashirama Senju could not comment on that level of smugness.
Because of the previous competition, the youths from the Senju, Uzumaki, Uchiha, and Hyūga clans had become familiar with Naruto, Obito, Sasuke, Kakashi, and the others.
Even Omitsu Hatake, who later came with the elders of her clan to apply to join Konoha, became their friend.
Omitsu Hatake was the young ninja from the Hatake Clan whom Naruto and the others had met before, the one who wore a mask like Kakashi, with a voice and build so androgynous it was impossible to tell whether they were male or female.
When she first arrived, Naruto recognized her at a glance.
Or rather, "him".
"So you were a girl all along, dattebayo!!!" Naruto shouted dramatically, pointing at the white-haired Hatake girl.
Young Kakashi was a little stunned too. The Hatake Clan had few members, and in his childhood memories, there had only been his father. He had never imagined he would come to the Warring States Period and meet a girl from the Hatake Clan.
Sakura and Rin were finally meeting a girl amid this pile of boys, and both of them looked rather excited.
"No wonder you approached the mission target by disguising yourself as a geisha."
"Right, what's your name?"
Young Obito was very happy that Kakashi could find one of his clansmen here, and warmly introduced himself, Kakashi, Rin, Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and the others to this girl from the Hatake Clan.
When he heard that more than a dozen members of the Hatake Clan had also come to Konoha, Adult Obito even drove his Kamui supercar over in person to send Adult Kakashi to meet his relatives.
The girl instinctively lowered her voice, hiding her true gender as she answered Naruto and the others.
"My name is Hatake O-bi-to."
"Pfft!"
(The name is properly read as Omitsu, a feminine-sounding name.
However, the characters can be jokingly broken down as O-mi-tsu / O-bi-to, making it sound like Obito when pronounced that way. So her real name is Omitsu Hatake, but the gag is that everyone hears "Hatake Obito." )
Adult Obito had just poked his head out of Kamui with Kakashi when he heard that line, spat on the spot, and fell straight out of Kamui's Dimension.
Face-first, no less.
Omitsu Hatake looked at the man with terrible scars on his face, yet who clearly possessed the Uchiha Sharingan.
In truth, Naruto, Sasuke, and the others had exaggerated expressions too, just not quite as bad as Adult Obito and Adult Kakashi.
"Is there something wrong with my name?" Her cool voice carried a trace of displeasure.
Actually, even if Naruto and the others said nothing, she could guess what the problem was.
After the footage was exposed, her clan had laughed at her for a long time.
Who told her that her name just happened to combine the names of the two main figures in the footage?
Having the surname Hatake was one thing, but her given name just happened to be Omitsu, pronounced the same as Obito.
Although Sasuke got along decently with young Obito, he had absolutely no intention of being pleasant to Adult Obito. He snorted coldly and said to Adult Obito, who was awkwardly climbing up from the ground, "A freak like you should hurry up and 'marry' into the Hatake Clan."
Young Kakashi made a rejecting gesture. "I'd rather stay alone for the rest of my life than take an idiot dead-last like that as my bride."
Young Obito's face turned bright red, partly from embarrassment and partly from anger.
"Stupid Kakashi! I, Obito Uchiha, would never like you even if I turned into a girl!!"
"Huh? Is that so? That's great, then."
That casual attitude left Obito so choked up he could not get the breath out.
Watching him sulk and fume, Sasuke Uchiha and the five Uchiha brothers from the Warring States Period all looked utterly speechless.
They thought to themselves, this must be the greatest oddball the Uchiha Clan has produced in a thousand years.
Adult Obito and Adult Kakashi were even more embarrassed. The two of them chose to press down their younger selves' heads directly, stopping them from saying anything even more outrageous.
Words like that were fine as childhood jokes. But hearing them now that they were adults...
Damn it. It was their fault for knowing too much now. They were no longer as pure as they had been back then.
After finishing the various procedures, the Clan Head of the Hatake Clan walked over. Omitsu Hatake called out "Clan Head," and the man smiled, ruffled her hair, and told her this was not such a formal occasion, so she could just call him Father.
Young Obito whispered to Naruto beside him, "That stiff look is exactly like Kakashi's too. It really feels like we've run into a female version of Kakashi."
For once, young Kakashi did not respond to him.
Young Obito knew it too. This Clan Head of the Hatake Clan looked far too much like the White Fang from their memories.
It was not just young Kakashi. Even Adult Kakashi was stunned for a moment.
"Oh my, do I look like someone you know?"
Noticing their reactions, the Clan Head of the Hatake Clan greeted the two Kakashis, young and adult.
The two Kakashis quickly greeted this ancestor-sama in return.
"I heard about you earlier. It really does feel unbelievable." The Warring States Period Clan Head of the Hatake Clan, who greatly resembled Sakumo Hatake, smiled. "For a small clan like ours to last more than a hundred years into the future truly wasn't easy. You've worked hard."
The clan only had a dozen or so members in total. In the Warring States Period, the average lifespan was only around thirty, and ninja missions were extremely dangerous. A hundred years meant the continuation of several generations. It truly was no easy thing.
Perhaps because the other man's appearance and bearing resembled his father Sakumo so closely, Adult Kakashi frankly admitted that, in truth, only he remained of the final line.
For a while, both sides looked at each other in silence.
Naruto helped break the stiff atmosphere. "So once you go back, Kakashi-sensei, how about you hurry up and get a girlfriend? And Omitsu should have lots of babies too. Don't let Kakashi-sensei end up all alone. That'd be super pitiful, dattebayo!"
He and Sasuke had both been alone throughout their childhoods. They understood that loneliness better than anyone.
Although there was nothing wrong with what Naruto said, the problem was that when Omitsu's name was read aloud, it sounded like "Obito," making it seem like...
Well, anyway, Adult Obito was extremely embarrassed, while young Obito shouted again that Kakashi was the prettier one. Even if one of them had to be a girl, that person would definitely be Kakashi.
"Huh? Wasn't it thick lips, dattebayo?!"
Sakura: "Wasn't it buckteeth?"
Sasuke: "What about sausage lips..."
Adult Obito: "Huh? You guys have never seen Kakashi's face under his mask?"
The three kids shook their heads hard, which also stirred a bit of curiosity in the Warring States Period youth team behind them.
Rin smiled and told them, "Kakashi is very good-looking, you know. He was the class beauty of our year~"
"Rin!" Young Kakashi, both embarrassed and angry, told Rin not to say that.
Stars shone in Naruto's eyes. "Wow... Doesn't that mean he's like Sasuke, always surrounded by tons of bees and butterflies?" He exaggeratedly mimed bees and butterflies circling around Sasuke, making the young ninjas of the Warring States Period burst into laughter.
Hashirama and Madara's younger brothers especially had never imagined that the Uzumaki Clan had such an interesting guy.
Jin Uzumaki and the other boys also liked this clansman who did not have red hair.
Of course, Sasuke and Kakashi, who were being teased, were not very happy and sat there with dark expressions, saying nothing.
Adult Kakashi was much more tolerant. He only smiled without saying anything.
Beside him, Adult Obito glanced at the mask on Kakashi's face.
"Naruto, have you guys never made Kakashi take off his mask for you?"
At the mention of this, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura almost spat blood.
"He did take it off, dattebayo, but Kakashi-sensei tricked us! There was another mask under the mask!!"
Sasuke: "I can't believe he came up with that. Hmph!"
"Call me Obito-sensei nicely, and I'll help you tear his mask off. How's that?"
Adult Kakashi was shocked. "O-Obito?!"
Naruto and Sakura: "Huh?!!!"
Power cannot make them yield, nor wealth corrupt them!
But...
They were just way too curious about Kakashi-kun's face, dattebayo!!!
"I-if you can really do it..."
"It's a deal!" Adult Obito looked ready to go all in, as if forget the mask, he could strip the clothes off too.
"Wait!!" Adult Kakashi panicked. "Did any of you ask me before making that deal?!"
"It's just showing your face. What's the big deal?" For the sake of my standing in Naruto and Sasuke's hearts.
The moment he finished speaking, whoosh! Obito activated Kamui?!!
He was really serious?!!
"Hey! You."
One dodged with Kamui, while the other chased with Intangibility. The sight was truly festive.
It rather had the feel of forcing an innocent into vice…
…
I saw a document saying that in the early manga, when Konoha held the Third Hokage's funeral, the name "Obito" appeared for the first time. Yūgao Uzuki: "Kakashi-senpai, are you here to see Obito-senpai?" Back then, because it wasn't clear whether Obito was male or female, many fanworks translated the name into the more feminine Omitsu.
It even led to memes like "his late wife gave him an eye, so he never remarried in this life."
Uchiha, the masked man, the instigator of the Fourth Shinobi World War, Obito: Thank you so fucking much!!! What the hell do you mean, late wife gave him an eye?!!!
