"Sigh, that shouldn't be right. Judging by the technique, it should've been big, not small..."
Not long after Jiraiya approached the bathhouse with his lecherous grin, a graceful figure emerged from a nearby casino, looking thoroughly vexed.
"Seriously, the commission I worked so hard to earn is all gone again. This pittance isn't even enough for a drink..." Looking at the few coins left in her pocket, Tsunade sighed. Rather than reflecting on her own actions, she remained fixated on the previous gambling session: "I should've followed their lead when they placed their bets. Otherwise, how could things have turned out like this!"
Pausing at the bathhouse entrance, Tsunade, filled with frustration, decided to use her remaining change to buy a ticket and soak away her bad luck.
"You should've seen it—with Feng Bai's close coordination, I absolutely demolished that shameless peeping tom!"
Meanwhile, Obito, Kakashi, Feng Bai, and Asuma walked together, approaching from the other end of the street.
Kakashi: So what about Guy and me?
Watching Obito boast shamelessly, Kakashi couldn't be bothered to engage and continued studying the sword techniques his father had left him.
"Really? I didn't expect there'd be a peeping tom at a time like this. So how did it all end?" Asuma looked at Obito with genuine curiosity. Having always yearned to accomplish something significant, he was quite frustrated—why hadn't he encountered such excitement during the day? It would've been perfect to show the old man what he was capable of.
Come to think of it, what was I doing this morning? Oh right, helping Kurenai buy gifts. Teacher's Day is coming up.
"Well, naturally we hauled that scoundrel straight to the Military Police Force headquarters. By now, that white-haired pervert is probably eating prison food." Glancing at the clock hanging in a nearby shop, Obito speculated.
"White-haired pervert?" Hearing this description, Asuma looked thoughtful.
He felt like he'd heard of such a character before. Where had he heard about him?
Sensing something familiar about this person, Asuma began to ponder.
"That coconut water looks pretty good—I'm going to check it out." Obito didn't notice Asuma's distraction, his eyes lighting up as he spotted a nearby vendor.
Coconuts from the Land of Fire had long been sold out this season. If you wanted fresh coconut juice now, you'd have to import it from the Land of Waves or Land of Lightning.
Feng Bai didn't participate in their conversation, instead mentally reviewing the day's battle.
Senbon made with Water Release and those made with Ice Release each had their advantages and disadvantages. For stealthy attacks, Water Release was definitely more suitable.
Then there was the ice pillar technique from later—if he could have increased his chakra output, he probably wouldn't have given Jiraiya the opportunity to form hand seals.
No, that's not right either. With Jiraiya's abilities, even if he froze him solid, it probably wouldn't have restricted his movements.
Maybe I really should figure out how to develop an ice-type mecha...
"Here, Feng Bai, catch!"
Just as Feng Bai was contemplating how to build his ice mecha, Obito approached with a foolish grin, handing him a large coconut with a straw.
What the hell—how is there such a big coconut this season?
Curiously eyeing the large coconut in Obito's hand, Feng Bai instinctively accepted it.
"Hehe, today was all thanks to you. Give it a try—I asked around, it's imported from the Land of Lightning. Not only is there plenty of juice, but the meat is thick and substantial too."
Seeing Feng Bai accept the coconut, Obito pulled out a skewer of grilled octopus from the adjacent stall and began munching.
"Hm? Why are you holding your hand out?" Obito had barely taken two bites when he noticed Kakashi staring at him resentfully, his right hand extended expectantly.
"Where's... mine?" Looking at Feng Bai cradling his coconut juice and remembering how he'd been innocently dragged into trouble, Kakashi stared directly at Obito, asking word by word.
"Hmph, when did I ever say I'd buy you one? Really." Obito slapped Kakashi's hand away and made a face, ignoring him.
Seeing Obito's behavior, Kakashi hardened—his fists hardened.
The hand Obito had slapped away clenched into a fist, striking Obito hard on the head.
"Ah! Damn you, Kakashi! Why'd you hit me!" Obito clutched his head and crouched down.
Still feeling unsatisfied, Kakashi delivered another punch: "You idiot! If it weren't for you, how could today have turned out like this?!"
"Two punches! Two punches! I'm going to fight you!"
Tsk tsk tsk, this is Konoha's signature stealth brawling—truly terrifying. I'd better keep my distance.
Clutching his coconut water, Feng Bai moved beside Asuma, sipping while watching Obito and Kakashi's lovers' quarrel.
When Obito finally tired from chasing and couldn't run anymore, crouching on the ground to catch his breath, Asuma stepped forward as peacemaker: "Alright, alright, you two stop fighting. I'll treat everyone later—how about barbecue? Oh, Obito, could you describe what that peeping tom looked like?"
"I remember Uncle Hachidai said his name was... what was it again?" Hearing Asuma's inquiry, Obito wracked his brain, trying to recall the man's name.
Unfortunately, with Obito's memory, asking him to remember this morning's events was quite demanding.
However, Obito remembered Jiraiya's appearance quite clearly—after all, he'd received the man's "special attention," and his head still hurt.
Wait, is my head hurting from Kakashi's punches or from that toad's impact?
"Uh, well, hmm, oh, I see! That guy has spiky white hair like a hedgehog, dresses pretty ordinarily, has two red marks on his face, and a very lecherous smile... Right, he looks just like him!"
Seeing Asuma still waiting for his answer, Obito ignored his aching head and began searching for words to describe Jiraiya's appearance. After all, Asuma was treating him to barbecue—he had to show some courtesy.
Just as Obito was struggling to accurately describe Jiraiya's features and frantically looking around, a figure immediately caught his attention.
Following Obito's pointing finger, Feng Bai spat out his coconut juice with a loud "pff," spraying it all over Kakashi, who couldn't dodge in time.
Oh my god, Obito! That's not "looks just like him"—that's literally the same person!
Wasn't the Uchiha Military Police Force supposed to enforce the law impartially? How did such a major peeping offender get released the very same night? You guys really aren't up to par!
"..." Kakashi, inexplicably drenched in coconut water, wordlessly pulled out a handkerchief to wipe the juice from his face, never imagining he'd receive Obito's gratitude in this manner.
Obito bought it for Feng Bai, Feng Bai sprayed it all over Kakashi—so in a roundabout way, Obito indirectly thanked Kakashi. Right, that works, doesn't it?
