Obito's a good person; for Hidezawa, this was truly correct.
Although that damned bastard had tricked Hidezawa, the benefits he brought to Hidezawa were simply ridiculously abundant.
Not to mention the experience and insights from Wood-style, just the sudden surge of Free Points alone made him incredibly rich.
Especially when he needed free points the most, Obito delivered them right to his doorstep, how could he not feel happy?
…
[Overall Physical Attributes: LV7]
[Chakra: LV7]
[Abilities: Flying Thunder God LV6, Water Style LV6, Earth Style LV6, Yang Style LV6]
[Free Points: 0]
…
Looking at his current key attributes, Hidezawa couldn't help but smile.
Three LV6 skills, that's truly not an easy feat.
Even though he had many other skills, some at LV5, reaching LV6 in these three attributes allowed him to start making some attempts.
"Wood-style."
Wood-style was crucial for his future deceptions; although, personally, 'Gundam' brawls were somewhat outdated.
But in the current version, the existence of 'Gundam' was still unparalleled.
"Next, I need to focus on integrating the Kekkei Mōra. Though, this is a long process. If I can successfully pilot a 'Gundam', that would also be a good thing."
Hidezawa's 'career plan' was very comprehensive; he knew what he wanted to do and how to do it.
As an ordinary person, the only way to further upgrade was to try the Kekkei Mōra path.
He had no other choice, but fortunately, he had some confidence in himself, especially with Wood-style, his first Kekkei Tōta. He had already seen hope.
Now, all that was left was sufficient chakra to begin the attempt.
"Alright, we're home."
Just as Hidezawa was deep in thought, Yugao, who was beside him, spoke softly.
The meeting had ended, and they naturally dispersed. Because Hidezawa's efficiency was so astonishingly high, they temporarily had no tasks.
It wasn't possible for them to go to the Land of Water without any preparation, was it?
That wouldn't be an investigation; that would be suicide.
However, after the dismissal, Hidezawa waited for Shisui and Tenzo to leave, then unceremoniously pulled her along, saying he would take her home.
Yugao wanted to object, but she couldn't resist Hidezawa's excessive enthusiasm.
Now that they were home, she felt she should say something.
"Also, you don't need to see me home next time. I'm your senpai; I'm not as fragile as you think."
"But, if Uchiha Obito attacks again, I'm afraid even senpai would find it hard to cope, right?"
Hidezawa blinked, and this question instantly left Yugao speechless.
She really wanted to say, how could that Obito guy possibly come looking for trouble with her?
But after thinking it over, it seemed better not to bring up that topic.
Hidezawa didn't seem to have provoked Obito either, yet he was attacked and almost successfully framed.
Although, to be fair, he wasn't entirely unrelated to the Uchiha. For example, he was Shisui's teammate and also proctored Uchiha Itachi's exam.
But she was also Shisui's teammate, so from that perspective, many things were indeed hard to determine.
"Alright, I understand. Then I'll head back first."
Yugao pursed her lips and finally spoke. However, Hidezawa didn't move; instead, he looked at her curiously and asked,
"Aren't you going to invite me in for a cup of tea?"
"..."
Yugao almost couldn't maintain her composure. Fortunately, Hidezawa didn't make things too difficult for her. He quickly took out a kunai from his ninja tool pouch at his waist and handed it over.
"Senpai, this is for you. If anything happens, please inject chakra to activate it immediately. As soon as I sense it, I'll rush over."
"Mm."
Yugao hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she nodded and took the kunai Hidezawa offered.
She knew this kunai should be for the Flying Thunder God Technique. Having this kunai could indeed avoid a lot of trouble at times.
"Thank you. I'll go now. You should go back and rest too."
With that, Yugao ran upstairs without looking back, giving Hidezawa no chance to say anything further.
Seeing this, Hidezawa was also somewhat amused and frustrated. He was still young, even if he went upstairs for tea, it would genuinely be just for tea...
Shaking his head, he turned and walked through a street. In just a moment, he stopped in an empty alley.
"You've been following me for half a day. Still reluctant to come out?"
"That's because I didn't want to disturb you, Hidezawa."
From the shadows, Yakushi Kabuto slowly walked out, his glasses emitting a faint glow.
"I didn't expect you to change so much after leaving Root. Do you like her a lot?"
"My tolerance has always been very strong."
Hidezawa didn't deny it, but he secretly muttered to himself: only limited to beautiful women.
"Speaking of which, what do you need me for? Does Danzo have another mission?"
"Indeed. He said there's no follow-up on Uchiha Obito's mission for now, so we should use this time to resolve the Sunagakure matter."
Kabuto nodded helplessly, which almost made Hidezawa roll his eyes.
That old lunatic Danzo really worked people to death like cattle and horses.
The Obito matter had just concluded, and then another inexplicable mission came right after, with no room for a break.
If he weren't temporarily unable to deal with Danzo while still guaranteeing his position in Konoha, Hidezawa would have wanted to use Flying Thunder God to assassinate him overnight.
"Alright, I understand. Are you coming with me this time?"
Hidezawa nodded. After thinking for a moment, he asked curiously,
"Yes, he wants me to go with you, but I won't be returning to Konoha after the mission."
"What do you mean?"
Hidezawa frowned, and suddenly, he had a guess.
"Could it be, you're going to..."
"Ah, you guessed right."
Kabuto's face showed a bitter expression, and anger was subtly rising in his eyes.
"I followed your suggestion and said I wanted to leave Root and meet the director. He refused, and at the same time, gave me another mission.
And the destination of this mission is Iwagakure..."
…
"Obito, there's no way to resolve it for now."
In the Land of Water, inside the Mizukage Building of the Kirigakure no Sato.
Black Zetsu shook his head regretfully at Obito. He spoke calmly.
"This jutsu is very, very difficult to remove with ordinary methods. Perhaps I need to research it further, or perhaps you could try using White Zetsu."
Using White Zetsu meant directly scraping off the entire flesh on his body and then covering it with White Zetsu's body.
This kind of pain was difficult for even a ninja to bear, and once done, Obito would probably need time to adapt again.
Even if it wouldn't be as troublesome as when he first adapted, it would still be somewhat time-consuming.
"Forget it. If it can't be resolved, it can't be resolved. I was still hoping to have a good 'chat' with that brat."
Upon hearing this, Obito was extremely annoyed, but he ultimately shook his head.
He had to get revenge for this.
It had been a long time since he had been screwed over so badly, and Shigen Hidezawa had recognized him through simple analysis alone.
This somewhat piqued his interest; after all, even his sensei hadn't recognized him.
"Suit yourself, but I still suggest you keep a low profile for a while."
Black Zetsu sighed inwardly. He couldn't understand Obito's thought process. Was it really interesting to leave such a flaw on his body?
Unfortunately, he couldn't persuade Obito, but Obito was indeed hard to kill, so he simply agreed.
"Hmph, I know that."
Obito nodded, but just as he was about to say something else, a green head suddenly popped out of the ground.
"Obito, you want to keep a low profile? That might be difficult."
"???"
Obito and Black Zetsu looked at this White Zetsu in confusion, while White Zetsu said with a grin,
"Because Obito, your wanted posters are already everywhere."
"..."
