After finishing his meal, Obito brought the food he had prepared for Shindai to Shindai's house.
However, because Shindai was too focused, Obito didn't disturb him and waited patiently.
Obito waited for several hours before Shindai finally put down his pen.
Obito was now full of resentment; sure enough, Shindai had forgotten about helping him choose a gift for Rin Nohara.
Shindai wondered, "Ah? Didn't Rin's birthday already pass?"
Obito's gaze grew even more mournful: "Yes, last time, after what happened, everyone was basically injured. You and Minato-sensei even stayed in the Ninja Hospital for almost half a month, so Rin's birthday was naturally missed.
Even though Rin's birthday was missed, I can still give her a gift. I thought you would have thought about it for me while you were in the Ninja Hospital, but I didn't expect you to completely forget about it!"
Shindai cleared his throat. Regardless, he decided to be stubborn first: "I didn't forget! Actually, I'd already thought of something. I was just seeing how important Rin was to you, so I was waiting for you to ask me. I was just pretending earlier!"
Obito pouted, "Shindai, do you know? It's really obvious when you lie. Since you said you'd already thought of something, then tell me. I'd like to see what you can come up with."
"Heh, looking down on me? Watch closely, I'm only demonstrating once!"
Shindai took out a piece of wood, and then a Kunai.
Then, the Kunai in Shindai's hand flew nimbly, and soon, a lifelike wooden sculpture of Rin Nohara was carved.
Shindai tossed the wooden sculpture to Obito: "How is it? Not bad, right?"
Obito looked at the sculpture in his hand with great joy: "It's excellent, truly excellent! It's exactly like her. Rin will definitely love this gift. Thank you, Shindai."
Just as Obito was about to leave, Shindai stopped him: "I never said this was for you to give to Rin as a gift!"
Obito asked, puzzled: "Huh? Why? Didn't you carve this for me to give to Rin as a gift?"
Shindai 'hehe'd: "This was carved by me, so it can only be considered my gift. If you want to give her a gift, you carve it yourself."
Obito looked at Shindai with a blank stare: "But I don't know how!"
"Didn't I just show you?"
Obito's eyes widened: "You moved so fast, who could see clearly?!"
Shindai earnestly told Obito: "That's your problem, Obito. Sometimes, whether a gift is good or not isn't important; what's important is your sincerity!"
Obito frowned deeply: "But didn't you say last time that I should give Rin something she likes?"
"The meaning is the same. Alright, you can carve an identical sculpture based on this one to give to Rin. I've taught you everything I can. The rest is up to you. I need to get back to work!"
Shindai pushed Obito out of the house, closed the door, and looked at the newly written plan on the table, his eyes as bright as if he had seen a beautiful woman.
It's finally quiet, but it's just a plan. This isn't even foreplay!
After Shindai quickly ate a couple of bites of the food Obito brought, he began his research.
Obito scratched his head and returned home.
Obito lay on his bed, holding the sculpture of Rin Nohara that Shindai had carved, staring at it intently.
As he watched, Obito slowly brought the sculpture closer to his face, and then... "mua~"
Obito's face instantly turned as red as a monkey's backside, and he shyly pulled the blanket over his face.
"Obito, how could you do that? You can't do that, it's too perverted…"
Obito took a long time to calm down before he finally pulled back the blanket and looked at the sculpture of Rin Nohara again.
Obito remembered Shindai saying that sincerity was most important... but all those Kunai and goggles he had given Rin before had a lot of his sincerity in them.
"Fine, I'll listen to Shindai one more time!"
Obito sprang out of bed, full of enthusiasm: "Then! Let's begin! I must carve a Rin that is much more beautiful than Shindai's, and then give it to Rin as a gift!"
Obito found a piece of wood, then picked up a Kunai and began to try carving.
Soon.
Obito had carved one.
However, what Obito carved couldn't even be called abstract; it couldn't even be called a person.
Obito decisively threw it away, replaced it with another piece of wood, and continued carving.
Days passed one by one.
On the third day, Minato Namikaze brought Shindai the Lightning Flash Sword he needed and the advanced technological data.
When Shindai saw the technological data Minato Namikaze brought him, Shindai was stunned.
This was not advanced technological data at all; it could absolutely be called core technological data!
Because Minato Namikaze didn't understand technology or anything like that, he went directly to Konoha's R&D department and found the person in charge.
The person in charge, seeing that Minato Namikaze wanted it, and that he, as the person in charge, was being asked, thought it was something important and directly gave Minato Namikaze some core technological data.
Minato Namikaze then, unknowingly, brought these materials to Shindai.
However, most of this technological data was given by Orochimaru; it was unimportant technological data that Orochimaru had discarded.
But even the technological data discarded by Orochimaru was considered cutting-edge in the current Ninja World.
With this data, Shindai's tech points would soar.
And Obito had also been wrestling with the sculpture for these three days.
Obito carved no less than a hundred sculptures of Rin Nohara, from the initial unrecognizable shapes to the slightly human-like ones now.
Obito had just finished carving a sculpture. Looking at the sculpture in his hand, although it was very abstract, it was the best he had carved so far.
Moreover, Obito felt that even if he tried harder, he probably couldn't make it any better than this. He truly had no talent for this kind of thing.
Obito looked at the rather abstract sculpture in his hand, feeling a bit speechless: "Rin… will she really like it?"
With an uneasy heart, Obito took the sculpture and left his house to find Rin Nohara.
At this time, Rin Nohara should be helping at the Ninja Hospital.
So Obito came to the Ninja Hospital and found Rin Nohara.
"Eh, Obito, why are you here?"
Rin Nohara, who had just finished assisting other Medical Ninja in treating an injured person, was surprised to see Obito appear at the Ninja Hospital.
Obito didn't dare to look into Rin Nohara's eyes, and stammered, "Th-that, Rin, can you come with me for a moment?"
Rin Nohara readily agreed: "Of course, I was just about to go home anyway, and then train with you guys this afternoon. So let's go together."
Obito and Rin Nohara walked together, leaving the Ninja Hospital.
Because Obito was very nervous, he walked with his arms and legs moving in unison, which made him look even clumsier than usual, when he already didn't seem very bright.
Obito was extremely nervous, wondering whether he should give Rin Nohara the sculpture he had made.
