The Shimura Actually Has Ice Release

By the time Kakashi reacted and caught up, Obito had already been subdued by Takeshi.

Only... the way he was subdued looked just a little bit indecent.

Maybe Takeshi wasn't strong enough, because Obito struggled fiercely, breaking free from Takeshi's grip several times.

Left with no choice, and in order to protect his own reputation, Takeshi had to resort to using both his hands and feet, clinging to Obito like an octopus.

How did things end up like this?

Kakashi sighed and stepped forward to separate the two.

...

"So I'm telling you, you must stay far away from that guy Ebisu! That guy is even more of a closet pervert than Kakashi!"

Takeshi stood with his hands on his hips, seriously lecturing Obito.

"Who are you calling a closet pervert?!"

Kakashi frowned and lightly pressed his fist onto Takeshi's head.

"In short, nothing happened between me and Kakashi. You better keep this locked deep in your heart, got it?! Otherwise, I'll freeze your little.... into a popsicle!"

Seeing Takeshi threaten him with a stern tone and fierce expression, Obito nodded his head like a lucky cat.

"I got it! I'll keep it a secret!"

"Really?"

Takeshi eyed Obito suspiciously.

"Really really, I swear, Takeshi. Hehehe." Obito grinned in a bootlicking way, practically ready to hug Takeshi's leg to swear his loyalty—especially for fear of having his "little" turned into an icicle.

"Alright, I'll trust you this once."

Hearing Takeshi's words, Obito acted like he'd received a pardon, nodding even more enthusiastically.

"I knew it, Takeshi, you're the best."

Even so, seeing Obito's not-so-bright expression, Takeshi, who fully understood his intelligence level, still had serious doubts about this comrade's ability to keep a secret.

If you really want your secret to stay safe... there's only one way...

At that moment, Takeshi looked just like Danzo possessed, staring coldly at Obito's sycophantic smile.

Yeah, better just off this guy. If I don't, he's gonna turn into a villain and wreak havoc on the Shinobi World anyway. Might as well take care of him while his reputation's still intact.

Speaking of which, if I'm proactively eliminating future threats to the Shinobi World, shouldn't I be named one of the top ten most touching figures of the era?

"Hiss... Weird, why does it feel kinda cold all of a sudden?" Obito shivered, trying to figure out where the chill was coming from.

"Cold? Perfect. Let's go climb a mountain."

Before either of them could refuse, Takeshi grabbed one in each hand—Kakashi on the left, Obito on the right—and started heading toward the nearby mountain.

"Wait, Takeshi, that smile on your face is way too creepy!" Obito's voice gradually grew panicked.

"Hey! Let go of me! Why are you dragging me too?" Kakashi was totally confused, having no idea what was going on.

...

"Hehehe, not bad, not bad. No wonder the old man always stayed in the village and never wanted to leave—I get it now."

On a cliff, behind a large boulder, Jiraiya crouched with binoculars, wearing a lecherous grin as he admired the view of the hot springs below.

"That one's gotta be at least an 80... Hmm, not quite as good as Tsunade, though. Oh! This one's even bigger. As expected, if you want top-tier inspiration, you've gotta come to Konoha..."

With his vast experience, Jiraiya could estimate a woman's bust size with just his eyes.

Just as he was about to pull out his little notebook to record today's observations, the trio led by Takeshi reached the mountaintop.

[Mm, at this height, pushing them both off shouldn't be a problem.]

Gauging the elevation where they stood, Takeshi decided this was the perfect spot to make his move.

"Strange... after all that climbing, why do I still feel so cold?"

Obito was still panting and looking for the source of the chill.

"Hm? Takeshi, Kakashi—look at that guy!"

Scanning the area, Obito immediately spotted a white-haired man crouching behind a rock, binoculars in hand, back facing them.

Following Obito's finger, Takeshi also saw the figure.

White hair, adult male...

It's Jiraiya!

"Ah, that guy's peeping!"

Following the direction of the binoculars, Obito's excellent eyesight also caught sight of the beautiful women splashing around in the hot spring. His sense of justice triggered, he immediately launched an attack on Jiraiya.

"Bastard!"

Obito took a few running steps, leapt into the air, and aimed a flying kick to knock Jiraiya off the cliff.

"Keep it down, you little brat! What if you scare away those pretty ladies?!"

Without even turning around, Jiraiya tilted his body slightly, dodging the kick completely. Obito sailed right past him—straight toward the cliff's edge.

"Idiot."

Watching Obito about to fall off the cliff, Kakashi muttered a complaint and prepared to rescue him.

Good grief... I didn't even have to do anything—Obito just offed himself.

Takeshi, on the other side, was also ready to act.

Just as the two were about to move, Jiraiya swiftly grabbed Obito's leg mid-air, and with a strong backward swing, yanked him away from the edge of death.

Kakashi, who had already run halfway over, abruptly stopped to avoid being crashed into. Obito, flung back like a sack of potatoes, landed face-first in the dirt.

"Damn it! Why didn't you catch me, Kakashi?!" Covered in dust, Obito raised his head angrily, glaring at Kakashi.

"You're just too dumb. Why the hell would you try such a wide-open attack on this kind of terrain?"

Kakashi couldn't even bother to look at him, focusing instead on Jiraiya while calmly pointing out Obito's tactical blunder.

"Damn it! Watch how I take down this perv!"

Obito, still salty from Kakashi's scolding, scrambled to his feet and looked at Jiraiya, who still hadn't turned around, and began forming hand seals.

Serpent – Ram – Monkey – Boar – Horse – Tiger

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"

"You idiot! Using Fire Style here will totally alert the ladies!"

Feeling the heat of the fireball behind him, Jiraiya had no choice but to finally turn and deal with the attack. At the same time, he was shocked that such a small kid could already use Fire Style.

He dodged the Great Fireball at lightning speed. The jutsu crashed into the giant rock and exploded, catching the attention of the women in the hot spring below.

"Ah! Run!"

Though they didn't know what had happened, the women screamed, jumped out of the water, grabbed their clothes, and fled in a hurry.

"See?! Because of you guys, all the pretty ladies ran away!"

Watching the beauties scatter, Jiraiya's voice was full of regret.

"Just as I thought, you're a peeping pervert! I swear on the name of Uchiha—I'll have you arrested by the Konoha Police!"

Obito refused to back down, glaring at Jiraiya.

"Who's a pervert?! I'm doing research! Research, you understand?!"

Hearing himself being called a pervert and a peeping tom again and again, Jiraiya was starting to get annoyed.

"Cut the crap—take this!"

Obito charged again.
