By the time Kakashi reacted and caught up, Obito had already been subdued by Feng Bai.
However, the position in which he was restrained was somewhat... unseemly.
Perhaps because his strength wasn't sufficient, Obito's struggles were quite fierce, repeatedly breaking free from Feng Bai's hold.
Left with no choice, and determined to protect his reputation, Feng Bai had to use both hands and feet, wrapping around Obito like an octopus.
How had things come to this?
Kakashi sighed and stepped forward to separate the two.
...
"That's why I'm telling you—stay far away from that Ebisu guy. He's even more repressed than Kakashi!"
Feng Bai stood with his hands on his hips, lecturing Obito with complete seriousness.
"Who's repressed?!"
Kakashi, irritated, raised his fist and lightly pressed it against Feng Bai's head.
"Anyway, nothing happened between Kakashi and me. You'd better keep this buried in your heart, understand?! Otherwise, I'll freeze your little birdie into a popsicle!"
Seeing Feng Bai threaten him so fiercely, Obito nodded like a bobblehead: "I understand, I'll definitely keep it secret."
"Really?"
Feng Bai scrutinized Obito with suspicious eyes.
"Really, really, absolutely real, Feng Bai, hehehe." Flashing an ingratiating smile, terrified that his little birdie might actually become a popsicle, Obito was practically ready to hug Feng Bai's leg to demonstrate his loyalty.
"Fine, I'll trust you this once."
Hearing Feng Bai's words, Obito looked as if he'd received a royal pardon, nodding even more enthusiastically: "I knew you were the best, Feng Bai."
Even so, looking at Obito's not-particularly-bright expression and knowing his intelligence level well, Feng Bai still harbored deep doubts about this comrade.
To ensure one's secret never gets out, there's only one method that works...
At this moment, Feng Bai seemed possessed by Danzo's spirit, gazing with cold eyes at Obito's fawning smile.
Hmm, might as well eliminate this kid. After all, if I don't, he'll eventually become a villain and bring disaster to the ninja world anyway. Better to send him off while his reputation is still intact.
Speaking of which, if I'm preventing future harm to the ninja world, shouldn't I at least be named one of the Top Ten Most Inspiring Figures in the ninja world?
"Hiss, strange—why do I feel a bit cold?" Obito, feeling a chill down his spine, tried to locate the source of the cold sensation.
"Cold? Perfect—let's go climb a mountain then."
After speaking, Feng Bai gave the other two no chance to refuse. Grabbing one with each hand—Kakashi on the left, Obito on the right—he headed straight for the nearby mountain peak.
"Wait, Feng Bai, that smile of yours isn't right!" Obito's voice grew increasingly panicked.
"Hey, let go of me! Why are you dragging me along?" Kakashi was completely bewildered, having no idea what was happening.
...
"Hehehe, not bad at all. No wonder the old man stays in the village all day and won't go out—I can understand him now."
At the cliff's edge, behind a massive boulder, Jiraiya held binoculars with a lecherous expression, appreciating the beautiful scenery in the hot spring below.
"That one's at least an 80... Still not quite up to Tsunade's level though. Oh, this one's even bigger! For research material, it's got to be Konoha..."
The experienced Jiraiya-sensei could determine a woman's measurements with just his eyes.
Just as he was about to pull out his little notebook to record the day's observations, the trio led by Feng Bai also reached the mountaintop.
[Hmm, at this height, pushing them off should do the trick.]
After gauging the height of their current position, Feng Bai decided this was the perfect spot to make his move.
"Strange—after climbing for so long, why do I still feel cold?" Obito, panting heavily, continued searching for the source of the chill.
"Hm? Feng Bai, Kakashi, look at that guy!"
Surveying their surroundings, Obito immediately spotted Jiraiya, who had his back to them and was crouched behind the boulder with binoculars.
Following Obito's pointing finger, Feng Bai also discovered him.
White hair, adult male—Uncle Sakumo! Crossed out
It's Jiraiya!
"Ah, that guy's peeping!"
Following the direction the binoculars were pointing, Obito, with his excellent eyesight, also spotted the ladies frolicking in the hot spring. His sense of justice exploding, he immediately chose to attack Jiraiya.
"Bastard, take this kick!"
Obito took a running start, leaped high, and launched a flying kick, intending to send Jiraiya tumbling off the cliff.
"Keep it down, brat—what if you disturb those lovely ladies?"
Jiraiya didn't even turn around. With a simple sidestep, he let Obito kick empty air and fly straight toward the cliff's edge.
"Moron."
Seeing Obito about to plummet off the cliff, Kakashi muttered an insult while preparing to rescue him.
Well, well—Obito was about to eliminate himself without any effort on Feng Bai's part.
Meanwhile, Feng Bai also prepared to act.
Just as both were about to move, Jiraiya, having dodged the attack, grabbed Obito's ankle and swung him forcefully backward, pulling him back from death's brink.
Kakashi, who had run halfway, quickly stopped to avoid the returning Obito, letting him crash face-first into the ground.
"Damn it, why didn't you catch me, Kakashi!" Obito, covered in dirt and looking disheveled, raised his head indignantly and angrily questioned Kakashi.
"You're just too stupid. How could you possibly use such a wide-open attack method on this kind of terrain?"
Kakashi couldn't be bothered to look at Obito. Instead, he warily observed Jiraiya while pointing out Obito's mistake.
"Damn it! Watch me take down this pervert!"
After Kakashi's thorough scolding, Obito got up from the ground. Looking at Jiraiya, who still hadn't turned around, he began forming hand seals.
Snake–Ram–Monkey–Boar–Horse–Tiger
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
"Idiot! Using Fire Release at a time like this will attract the ladies' attention!"
Feeling the scorching heat of the fireball behind him, Jiraiya was forced to turn and deal with Obito, while also marveling that such a young child could perform Fire Release.
Dodging the Great Fireball at incredible speed, the fire technique collided with the boulder, and the resulting explosion drew the ladies' attention.
"Kyaa! Run!"
Though they didn't know what was happening, the ladies quickly leaped out of the hot spring, grabbed their clothes, and hurriedly fled the area.
"See? Because of you guys, all those lovely ladies ran away!"
Watching the beauties scatter in all directions, Jiraiya's voice was filled with regret.
"You really are a peeping tom! I swear on the Uchiha name—I'll definitely have you sent to the Military Police Force!"
Obito wouldn't let it go, glaring at Jiraiya.
"Who's a peeping tom? This is research—research, you understand?!"
Seeing Obito repeatedly call him a pervert and peeping tom, Jiraiya became somewhat annoyed.
"Enough excuses—take this!"
Obito charged forward once again.
