Obito Reborn With Double Kamui

Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Itachi Will Be Filial in the Future



After leaving the ninja school, Obito's mind was occupied with thoughts of Hashirama's cells.

Although he didn't know about the conversation that had taken place in the Hokage's office or that Danzō had outright rejected him, he had his own plans.

Getting in touch with Danzō and Orochimaru wasn't too difficult.

Using his real identity was out of the question, so... the alias he had used for over a decade in his previous life, the Masked Man, was about to make an appearance.

But that was for later.

Today, Rin had organized a graduation event, and they had agreed to meet at the Akimichi family's barbecue restaurant for dinner. Many people would be there, not just their graduating classmates but also Kakashi, who had been a ninja for four years.

Although Obito wasn't particularly enthusiastic about such events, since Rin was the organizer, there was no way he wouldn't go.

However, as the top graduate, he had finished his exams first, so he had some time before the rest of his classmates finished. He decided to use this time to address some personal and clan-related issues and to ask the Uchiha clan for some benefits.

With that in mind, Obito headed to the Uchiha clan's compound.

Two Uchiha clansmen were already waiting for him. Seeing the forehead protector on Obito's head, they immediately used the Body Flicker Technique to appear in front of him.

"Obito, the clan leader has ordered you to come see him," The two men had arrogant expressions, and the one who spoke did so in a tone that was less of an invitation and more of a command.

Obito frowned slightly.

This was why he disliked most Uchiha.

They always acted as if they were the greatest, full of pride. As an Uchiha in his previous life, he had also been proud.

But pride was not the same as arrogance, especially arrogance displayed in front of the weak.

'Why not use that attitude when speaking to Sarutobi Hiruzen or Shimura Danzō?'

In his previous life, every time he visited the Uchiha compound, he saw a bunch of good-for-nothings acting like big shots behind closed doors. Despite being oppressed, all they did was plot and scheme, achieving nothing.

Thinking of this, Obito decided not to bother arguing and simply said coldly, "Lead the way."

The two Uchiha were taken aback. Obito was known for being humble and kind, traits that made him stand out among the Uchiha, which was why they disliked this outsider.

But now, Obito had suddenly become aloof, giving off a vibe more in line with their own.

The two didn't say much more and, after calming down a bit, led Obito to the clan leader's residence...

By then, Uchiha Fugaku, who had received the message earlier, was already sitting in the reception room brewing tea.

Normally, this task would fall to Uchiha Mikoto, but she was busy playing with the baby in her arms and couldn't spare the time, so the clan leader had to handle it himself.

When Obito arrived, Fugaku waved him over, maintaining his dignified and aloof demeanor as the clan leader. However, compared to the two arrogant men from before, he was much more approachable.

"Obito, come over and sit down. I have something to discuss with you."

Seeing this, Obito didn't refuse and walked over, sitting down in front of the two.

This meeting didn't come as a surprise to Obito; a similar event had occurred in his previous life.

However, back then, Fugaku had visited his home to give him some money and a few Uchiha clan jutsu.

This time, he was invited to the clan leader's residence for tea...

Perhaps it was because of his different status. In his previous life, he had been a dead-last, but now he was the top graduate.

The reason for Fugaku's actions was simple.

The team assignments for ninja school graduates were actually predetermined, and Fugaku had already received information that Obito would be assigned to Team Minato.

Fugaku had always held Minato-sensei in high regard.

Additionally, Uchiha Mikoto, the clan leader's wife, had long been close friends with Kushina, which provided a foundation for building a good relationship.

With the rise of the Yellow Flash during the Third Great Ninja War, Fugaku had bet everything on Minato-sensei.

It must be said that the clan leader had won his bet. If it hadn't been for the Nine-Tails' attack, which resulted in the deaths of the Fourth Hokage and his wife, the Uchiha clan might have truly coexisted peacefully with Konoha...

But there are no "ifs" in life.

Thinking of this, Obito's expression became somewhat complicated as he looked at Fugaku, and he also glanced at the baby in Mikoto's arms.

Fugaku noticed and introduced, "This is my son, Uchiha Itachi. Obito, do you like children? I heard you're very caring towards the elderly?"

Obito nodded, "I do like the elderly. Whenever I see elderly people who have trouble walking, I can't help but think of my grandmother..."

After a pause, Obito continued, "As for your child... he looks like he'll be very filial."

Uchiha Mikoto couldn't help but smile.

"Obito, you really are a kind-hearted child. Others always say Itachi will become a great ninja in the future, and to be honest, I'm tired of hearing it."

"Only you... praised him for being filial," Mikoto gently rocked Itachi, letting him grab her finger as she played with him.

"Itachi, I just want you to grow up safe and sound, with our family living in harmony. Did you hear what Obito said? You must be a filial child in the future."

"Cough, cough, cough...", Obito couldn't help but cough violently and quickly took a sip of tea.

Uchiha Fugaku immediately said, "Sorry, Obito, for bringing up painful memories."

"As the clan leader, I'm usually busy with official duties and have neglected many things. I didn't realize there was an orphan like you in the Uchiha clan..."

"I failed to take care of you, and that's my responsibility. Therefore, I want to make it up to you. Whether it's money or high-level Uchiha jutsu, just tell me what you need."

Uchiha Obito sneered inwardly. So the clan leader was aware of the plight of this Uchiha orphan. Why only offer compensation now? Clearly, it was because he saw Obito's value.

He took a sip of tea and slowly said, "Clan leader, I don't want to pretend to be grateful."

"Since I was young, my daily expenses have been covered by my grandmother and parents' inheritance, as well as the support of my grandmother's friends, the elderly."

"I have never enjoyed any benefits from the Uchiha clan, so the Uchiha owe me nothing, and I owe the Uchiha nothing."

Uchiha Fugaku's expression darkened, but at the same time, he was surprised.

Obito was too calm in front of him, the clan leader.

He wasn't excited about being summoned by the clan leader, nor was he resentful about being neglected or even ostracized as a child.

It was as if nothing could stir his emotions.

Fugaku was momentarily at a loss for words.

At this point, Obito spoke again, "However, since the clan leader wants to show concern and mend the rift between us, offering me benefits for free, I have no reason to refuse."

"I don't need high-level Uchiha jutsu, but I certainly won't refuse money. If you're willing to show some courage, I even have many ways to help improve the Uchiha clan's standing in the village."
