Naruto: Transmigrated as Obito with the System

Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Deidara, the Avid Learner



Itachi naturally understood Obito's implication.

"Unless it's absolutely necessary, I won't use the Mangekyō Sharingan's abilities."

Shisui, standing nearby, asked curiously,

"Speaking of which... Itachi, what's the ability you awakened?"

Itachi smiled faintly, his voice calm as he uttered a single word.

"Secret."

Shisui glanced at Itachi, then at his cousin, and huffed,

"You two… hmph (╯^╰)!"

Obito pulled a few sets of clothes from his Kamui dimension, grinning.

"Hahaha, alright, enough chitchat. Get yourselves cleaned up."

"It's rare for me to return to Konoha. I'll give you a few days off—make sure to rest properly."

Shisui took the clothes, looking satisfied.

"That's more like it! Staying with Mei Terumi every day has been driving me insane!"

Itachi picked up on the key point with a raised eyebrow.

"…Staying with that woman?"

Shisui froze, his expression stiffening.

"It's not what you think! We're just… roommates, that's all."

Obito patted Shisui's shoulder with a laugh.

"Alright, no need to explain. Those who get it, get it."

He glanced at the two of them before saying,

"I've got some errands to run, so I'll head back to the village first."

"You two haven't seen each other in a while; you can catch up on the way."

Shisui gave him an okay gesture.

"Sure thing, cousin. You go ahead."

Itachi nodded slightly.

"Goodbye."

...

Konoha

Obito hadn't been home for long.

Just as he was preparing to grab his tent and visit Rin for a card game, a figure suddenly appeared beside him with a swoosh.

"Whoa!"

Startled, Obito flinched, accidentally tossing the tent aside.

"Uh…"

The silver-haired man next to him reacted quickly, catching the tent mid-air and examining it with curiosity.

"…What's this?"

Snatching the tent back, Obito huffed,

"Something you won't be needing… What do you want, Kakashi?"

"And stop randomly using Flying Thunder God—it nearly gave a handsome guy a heart attack!"

Kakashi, somewhat exasperated, replied,

"Of course I have business with you. I sensed you were back in Konoha, so I teleported right over."

Obito raised an eyebrow.

"And what's so urgent?"

Grabbing Obito's hand, Kakashi spoke cryptically,

"It's hard to explain right now. Just come with me."

"I'll explain everything once we get there."

With their hands joined, the two disappeared in a flash.

When Obito came to his senses, he realized they were in Kakashi's house.

"…"

Memories of unpleasant incidents flooded his mind.

Clutching his chest warily, Obito asked,

"Kakashi, why did you bring me here? You're not… planning anything, are you?"

Kakashi: "???"

Before Kakashi could retort, a warm voice came from behind them.

"Obito, it's been a long time… You've grown so tall."

Hearing the familiar voice, Obito froze. Slowly turning around, he looked over with disbelief.

"S-Sh-…Sakumo?!"

The next second, a black, spinning shuriken appeared in his eye, exuding a menacing aura.

"I've awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, and I still keep getting caught in illusions?!"

Obito's gaze turned cold, the shuriken in his eye spinning faster.

Sensing the tension, Kakashi quickly intervened.

"Obito, this isn't an illusion! My father… he's really been resurrected!"

"…Resurrected?"

Obito's oppressive demeanor faltered.

Suddenly, he recalled a reward he'd been denied recently.

No way…!

Deactivating his Mangekyō Sharingan, Obito swallowed hard and asked,

"Wh-what's going on?!"

Sakumo spoke up calmly.

"Let me explain…"

After Sakumo's detailed explanation, Obito's eyes lit up with realization. The missing piece in his mind had finally been restored.

"Ah, so that's how it is… Uchiha Setsuna… Heh!"

Sakumo smiled at Obito.

"Obito, I wouldn't have been resurrected if it weren't for you."

Scratching his head awkwardly, Obito chuckled.

Though his cousin had made some questionable choices, she hadn't gone too far. For now, Obito decided to let it slide—but her past deeds wouldn't be forgotten.

'I'll deal with her later,' Obito thought to himself.

...

Land of Stone

Nestled between the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind, this chaotic, lawless country was a haven for criminals and bounty hunters alike.

"What a perfect place for artistic creation," Sasori remarked.

"Though it's a shame there aren't any suitable materials."

Deidara, happily molding clay, nodded in agreement.

"This place is great! I'm having a blast, hmm!"

Not far off, a group of bounty hunters looked on with darkened expressions.

"These two idiots are ignoring us?!"

"Damn it, let's teach them a lesson!"

"Yeah! Their heads are worth months of fine wine!"

Kisame hefted Samehada, grinning wickedly.

"You lot seem to be ignoring me as well."

Deidara stepped forward, holding Kisame back.

"Kisame, Sasori-senpai, leave these guys to me, hmm!"

Kisame raised an eyebrow.

"Oh? Little Deidara wants to…?"

Deidara nodded enthusiastically.

"That's right! I want to test out a new technique I've developed, hmm!"

Everyone knew that Deidara was a diligent learner, constantly inspired by those around him.

From puppet-based explosive clay techniques to snake-style C4 creations, Deidara's creativity knew no bounds.

And now, he had developed a new skill inspired by a certain Uchiha.

"Explosive Clay: Femme Fatale Detonation!"
