Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Returning to Konoha to Fetch My Cousin
Terumi Mei possesses two Kekkei Genkai: Lava Release and Boil Release.
Her strength and looks both meet Obito's standards.
Not to mention, in the original storyline, Mei ended the "Bloody Mist" era and brought peace to Kirigakure.
In terms of personality, she fits Obito's expectations for an inner-circle member.
And those long legs... those fishnet stockings... No need to think further—she's the one!
"Still, before heading out to find Mei, I should bring my cousin over first."
Obito muttered to himself, "And while I'm at it, I might as well visit my wife!"
The joy of Kamui is simple: go wherever you want, whenever you want.
"Kamui!"
With glowing Sharingan, Obito disappeared into the Kamui dimension and headed for Konoha.
In a blink, he was there.
"Hmm... I did promise the Third Hokage I'd stay out of the village for a while, so..."
After pondering for a moment, Obito cast a Transformation Jutsu as a gesture of respect.
Disguised as a random villager, Obito walked into Konoha's hospital.
It was still early in the day, so Rin's shift shouldn't have ended yet.
With his hands clasped behind his back, Obito started wandering the hospital halls.
If you thought he was checking out the cute nurses, you'd be wrong!
That's not who he is!
He was checking out the cute doctors instead!
After a while, though, even that got boring.
...White stockings everywhere—it was all the same.
Bored, Obito started eavesdropping on the patients instead.
In one room, an old man was lamenting to the doctor:
"Doc, every morning at 8 a.m. sharp, I go to the bathroom. What should I do about it?"
The doctor was puzzled.
"Sir, isn't a regular schedule a good thing?"
The old man sighed heavily.
"The problem is, I don't wake up until 9!"
Doctor: "..."
Obito burst out laughing and moved to the next room.
This time, a middle-aged woman was complaining.
"Doctor, every morning I wake up with terrible back pain. What should I do?"
The doctor prescribed her some medication and then suggested, "Ma'am, maybe try waking up in the afternoon instead."
The woman: "..."
Obito laughed so hard that by the time he finally went to look for Rin, his stomach hurt.
Rin had just finished her shift and was rubbing her sore neck as she walked out of the hospital.
At that moment, a handsome stranger blocked her path.
"Rin-chan!"
The familiar voice made Rin freeze in surprise.
"Obito-kun? What are you doing—"
Obito coughed awkwardly.
"Ahem, since I'm still on a mission, I can't reveal my true identity for now."
Rin nodded in understanding.
"I see."
Obito casually reached out, trying to hold her hand, but Rin quickly stepped back.
"Obito-kun, considering your current appearance, we should keep some distance for now."
She didn't want her coworkers gossiping about her the next day.
Obito laughed it off. "Fair enough."
The two walked and chatted until they reached a quiet forest.
There, Obito finally dropped his disguise.
With his current chakra control, even the Third Hokage's Telescope Technique couldn't detect him.
[Telescope Technique: A jutsu that uses a crystal ball to remotely observe a specific person, provided their chakra signature is known.]
Obito pulled Rin into a tight embrace.
"My dear Rin-chan, I've missed you so much!"
Nestled in his arms, Rin asked curiously, "Obito-kun, what mission are you on? How long do you have to stay outside the village?"
Obito sighed.
"Ah, Rin-chan, you know I can't disclose mission details—it's protocol."
"All I can say is this mission concerns the fate of the shinobi world. Someone has to step up, and that someone is your husband—me!"
Rin poked his cheek playfully.
"Always bragging. I don't believe you for a second."
Obito grinned.
"Hehe, before I leave again, I'll leave a shadow clone at home. If you ever miss me, just come find it, okay?"
"Mm," Rin nodded with a smile.
Then she gave him a side-eye.
"Obito, where are your hands right now?"
Obito chuckled sheepishly.
"It's been so long—I just wanted to see if my Rin-chan had gained any weight."
Blushing furiously, Rin gave him a light punch.
"Idiot!"
Obito leaned closer and whispered in her ear, "Rin-chan, how about we stay here for a little while longer?"
Rin's face turned redder than ever.
"No way! What if someone comes by?"
Obito activated Sage Mode without hesitation.
"Relax, Rin-chan. If anyone so much as breathes within ten miles, I'll know instantly."
"You're the worst, Obito-kun!" Rin huffed, giving him another punch.
(Two hours later…)
After escorting a thoroughly exhausted Rin back home, Obito returned to his own place and left a shadow clone behind.
"Alright, now I just need to grab my cousin and head back to Amegakure. Mission accomplished."
Once again activating Kamui, Obito infiltrated his cousin's house.
Shisui, who was already prepared, was quickly brought into the Kamui dimension.
Inside, Shisui crossed his arms and frowned.
"Obito, I've been waiting for you in Konoha forever. Took you long enough to get me."
Shisui's inner thoughts: If I'd known you'd take this long, I wouldn't have rushed to get ready!
Obito scratched the back of his head awkwardly.
"Sorry, sorry. Got a bit sidetracked. Speaking of which..."
He grinned at Shisui, trying to change the subject.
"I'm planning to recruit a new teammate. Want to come along?"
Shisui raised an eyebrow. "A teammate?"
Obito nodded enthusiastically. "Yup!"
Currently, his inner circle included Nagato, Konan, Shisui, and Terumi Mei—four members in total, perfect for two squads.
Nagato and Konan would obviously form one team. That left Shisui and Mei as the other pair.
Shisui thought for a moment before asking, "What's their background?"
Obito handed him a dossier.
"Here's what we've got so far. We'll have to dig up more intel ourselves."
Shisui opened the file and saw the name Terumi Mei.
"A missing-nin from Kirigakure, huh..."
As he skimmed through the details, Shisui had no idea how profoundly this woman would impact his life in the future.
After finishing the file, Shisui looked up and asked, "Obito, why her?"
Obito smiled.
"Because, like you, she's a kind person."
...And drop-dead gorgeous, with killer legs to boot!
"Oh?" Shisui blushed slightly, suddenly feeling curious about his future teammate.
Obito clapped him on the shoulder.
"Alright, according to the intel, she was last spotted in the Land of Hot Water. Let's head there first and see what we can find."
Shisui nodded. "Understood."
