After dealing with the matter of his eyes, Obito held his hands and looked at his peers, chuckling, "You all seem to have forgotten one important thing."
"What?!"
Hayate coughed twice, feeling somewhat weak in the kidneys, and also somewhat confused.
Obito said, "That is the gift for my advancement to Jonin!"
The three great joys for a man are getting promoted, getting rich, and his wife dying.
Obito being promoted to Jonin was equivalent to getting a advancement, so he should be throwing a feast and collecting some congratulatory money.
Before Obito finished speaking, the group of friends all slipped away.
Ebisu clutched his stomach: "My stomach hurts, I must have eaten someone else's menstrual period just now, I need to go to the hospital for a check-up."
Kurenai said, "Obito, I need to go home and practice Ninjutsu. When I master the Bringer-of-Darkness Technique, I'll use your Sharingan to test it out."
Asuma fled: "Obito, my mom is pregnant, I need to hurry and help her deliver the baby!"
"Your mom is almost sixty, how can she still give birth? Lord Hokage is truly an old painter; when he picks up the brush, he's still full of vigor!"
Obito was speechless.
Everyone left one by one, leaving only members of Kakashi's team and Anko's team behind.
Hayate handed Obito some medicine: "Obito, looking at you, you must be kidney deficient too. This is medicine Ryou-sama once prescribed for me, consider it your Jonin gift."
Obito adamantly refused Ryou's medicine: "Anything constructed by Ryou, I would rather die than take it!"
"Also, I am not kidney deficient, my body is perfectly fine!"
Obito showed off his body in front of Rin; his current body could handle both Rin and Kakashi at the same time.
But suddenly, he bent over and couldn't straighten up.
Rin and Kakashi quickly stepped forward to show concern.
"Obito, what's wrong?"
"Are you really kidney deficient?"
Obito shouted loudly, "Kakashi, you guy who reads the ero novels have no right to talk about me!"
Ero novel?!
Sakumo pricked up his ears, narrowed his eyes, like a sharp, swift blade, startling the birds in the forest.
Good heavens, reading pornographic books at this age, what will he become later?
Kakashi touched the back of his neck, feeling a chill, as if a fierce ghost was staring at him.
Obito touched the skin on the right side of his body, thinking it was the White Zetsu cells.
This was the rejection from the White Zetsu cells inside his body. Only when Obito activated his Mangekyo and powered up would the White Zetsu cells successfully integrate with him.
Why was there no problem before?
He was suddenly strong as an ox, almost impaling Kakashi and Rin on the same stick!
When fighting his comrades, he had the power of Kamui, every punch full of strength!
That was because of Tobi's assistance.
Tobi was essentially a conscious White Zetsu cell, which wouldn't harm the cells within Obito, and could even help him exert the power of Wood Release.
At this stage, Obito wasn't parasitized by Tobi, so he hadn't adapted to the White Zetsu cells inside him yet.
Hayate slyly stuffed his medicine into Obito's hand, and Obito quietly accepted it.
When Tobi parasitized him before, he was strong enough to kill an ox, so why is he useless now?
It seems I really need to go to the Torture and Interrogation Unit to control Tobi.
Obito looked at Anko and Yūgao; these two weren't from the same generation as him, but they were considered friends.
Yūgao looked a bit embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Obito-senpai, I'll go back and prepare a gift for you right away."
"Eh?!"
Obito wanted to call Yūgao back; he didn't really care about Yūgao's gift.
What he wanted was the attitude; he could refuse to accept it, but she couldn't refuse to give it.
Yūgao's attitude was excellent; among those present, only she addressed Obito as 'Senior,' acknowledging that Obito was her Jonin superior.
This made Obito feel quite pleased.
He hoped Yūgao would call him 'senpai' a few more times.
At the same time, he felt a little jealous of Hayate.
Why does Hayate, who is so constructed, have such a beautiful childhood sweetheart? And there's no white-haired person inserting themselves between them—this is the natural relationship between Minato-sensei and Sister Kushina.
However, seeing Hayate looking so kidney deficient made Obito feel much better.
Heavenly Gifts should only belong to the virtuous; Hayate doesn't have that fortune!
Obito looked at Anko, only to see Anko holding out her hand toward him.
Obito looked confused: "What are you doing?"
Anko said, "You got promoted, right?"
Obito nodded: "I'm already a Jonin; even stray dogs on the street salute me."
Anko said matter-of-factly, "You're the Jonin, not me. You're happy, not me."
"Since you're happy, shouldn't you give me a gift?"
Obito froze; that seemed to make sense!
He was the one who was happy, and everyone else was not happy. Why should unhappy people give him a gift?
Giving a gift to the happy person would only make them unhappier.
Anko took things while talking: "Obito, have you thought about what gift to give me?"
Obito scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed: "Anko, I just returned to the village and am penniless right now. I don't know what to give you either."
The only valuable things Obito had on him were one Sharingan and the White Zetsu cells.
He definitely couldn't give the Sharingan to Anko.
"Anko, how about I give you my White Zetsu cells?"
"Ptooey!"
Anko spat: "White and clammy, it's creepy. Who would want that?"
Anko turned and ran: "Obito, remember to send me a gift."
Hayate and Yūgao followed after her.
Obito watched Anko's retreating back, then suddenly realized: "Wait, why should I be the one giving gifts?"
"Should I be giving her a gift just because there's a happy event in my family?!"
"Anko, come back! You should be the one giving me a gift."
Kakashi and Rin exchanged a look, both seeing the speechlessness in the other's eyes.
Guy was running laps around Senju Park and spotted Obito, Kakashi, and the others on one circuit.
He ran up, panting: "Kakashi, Obito, youth must not slack off in the slightest!"
"The most intense war in the history of the Ninja World is coming soon. We must be energized to protect our comrades."
Obito nodded: "Guy is right. Putting Uchiha Madara aside, Ryou's growth rate is astonishing."
"He is selfish and lawless. If we dare to slack off, the Shinobi Allied Forces might not even get past his defenses."
Obito had personally witnessed Ryou's training while under Ryou's command.
Ten, sometimes twenty, spore clones trained simultaneously, rapidly gaining experience and leveling up.
Coupled with Forbidden Jutsu-level Medical Ninjutsu, they could be trained until they were barely breathing, only to be fully revived in an instant.
Furthermore, the combination of White Zetsu cells and the Sharingan's absolute copying ability for Ninjutsu meant that when describing his mastery of Ninjutsu training.
It would be: My Corps faces no obstacles, no obstacles at all!
The most terrifying thing was his complete lack of moral limits.
If someone was strong enough to fight him but couldn't catch him, he would slip into a crevice, leaving even Minato-sensei staring helplessly.
If he couldn't defeat someone, he would kill the men and sexually assault the women.
Obito felt Ryou was even more terrifying than Madara, because he had absolutely no weaknesses, no moral bottom line, and would do anything?8
When this kind of person goes ruthless, they'll put razor blades in your drink.
If he were to break free from Madara's restraint, he might become the next great disaster of the Ninja World.
