Chapter 134: Be a Son or Be a Father?
Obito lived on tenterhooks every day, not knowing when Kamishiro would come to beat him up. Tormented by this, Obito decided to put an end to his misery and came to Kamishiro, ready to be beaten.
However, even though he was all set to take the beating, Kamishiro showed no intention of hitting him.
Obito could clearly sense that Kamishiro was really angry.
Obito tentatively asked, "Kamishiro, aren't you angry?"
Kamishiro said with a beaming smile, "Angry? Why would I be angry with you? What you did was so right. I've already said you did nothing wrong. How could you be in the wrong?"
Obito felt a chill run down his spine. Is this not anger? If this isn't anger, I'll twist my own head off and let Kakashi use it as a ball (a hyperbolic way to show extreme certainty)!
Obito with a gloomy face said to Kamishiro, "Kamishiro, I really know I was wrong. Please just give me a good beating. I'll take it without fighting back."
Kamishiro eyed Obito askance and said, "Do you really know where you went wrong? Tell me, what's your mistake?"
Obito pouted and admitted his fault, "I shouldn't have urged Kakashi and Rin to spy on you together, and I shouldn't have said you had a crush on Pakura..."
Kamishiro squinted slightly and said, "Come to think of it, I really don't understand why you thought I had a crush on Pakura."
"Uh... because, because I told Kakashi and Rin that I knew everything, so..."
Obito's voice got softer and softer. In the end, Kamishiro could hardly hear what he was saying.
But even though he couldn't hear clearly what Obito said later, Kamishiro could more or less guess.
Kamishiro was so angry that he laughed. "So, in order to show off in front of Kakashi and Rin that you knew a lot, you just claimed that I had a crush on Pakura, right?"
Obito quickly said, "Actually, I really felt you liked Pakura. That's why I thought so. It wasn't just a baseless rumor!"
Kamishiro gritted his teeth so hard that they made a 'creaking' sound. "I like Pakura? Of course I like her. I've known her for six or seven years. She's my only friend in Sunagakure Village. What the hell, should I hate her instead of liking her?
Moreover, You think I'm like you, for god's sake! If I really liked someone, I wouldn't secretly pine after them. I'd just go for it. Who wants to play the game of having a crush!"
Obito forced out a laugh and said, "R - really? You're so awesome, Kamishiro. Actually, you didn't suffer any real loss, right? How about giving me a couple of punches and just letting this matter go?"
Kamishiro yelled at Obito, "No loss? Do you know how amazing I am? What if Pakura really takes a fancy to me when I grow up? My dream is to marry two wives in the future. One will massage my shoulders, and the other will beat my legs!
If my future wife is Pakura, forget about marrying two wives. I'll even have to massage her shoulders and beat her legs. Do you get it, you jerk!"
Obito stared blankly at Kamishiro.
How shameless could a person be to say such things?
!
Meanwhile, Kamishiro had tackled Obito and given him a lesson on justice.
An hour later.
In the tent where Kakashi and Rin Nohara were staying.
Obito, with a bruised face, strutted into the tent. "Now you know how professional I am, right? I'm not bragging. Kamishiro definitely has a crush on Pakura. Pakura even said she'd consider him when he grows up!"
Although Obito had backed down in front of Kamishiro and taken a beating, he had to regain some face elsewhere.
For example, by making Kakashi and Rin Nohara realize his professionalism!
Kakashi said sarcastically, "Oh, look who's showing off again after getting beaten up by Kamishiro."
Obito snorted. "Come on, I'm telling you, Kamishiro was just embarrassed because I hit the mark. In fact, he was over the moon when he heard Pakura say she'd consider him when he grows up!"
Rin Nohara pursed her lips and said to Obito, "I think it's better for you to keep your mouth shut now, Obito."
Obito said confidently, "Why not? Didn't you guys doubt me before? You can't doubt me now! If she said she'd consider him when he grows up, she definitely doesn't just see him as a younger brother!"
"Oh? Then how does she see me? As her son? Or her dad?"
"Of course, she sees me as... Holy shit!"
Obito jumped up in fright.
Obito stared at Kamishiro behind him in horror and stammered, "W-When did you come here?"
Kamishiro said in a chilling voice, "So, Pakura sees me as her mom? It seems the beating I gave you earlier didn't teach you a lesson. You still dare to spout nonsense here. I should tear your mouth apart!"
Obito quickly covered his mouth and shook his head desperately.
Kamishiro rolled his eyes at the terrified Obito. "You know you're scared but still spout nonsense. You're so thick-headed. I'm too tired to beat you today. We'll talk about it next time."
Kakashi asked, "Kamishiro, I've been meaning to ask you. You said the other day that Sasori killed the Third Kazekage of Sunagakure Village. Is it really him?"
Kamishiro sat down on a chair, took a sip of water, and said, "It's him."
Kakashi was puzzled. "But how do you know?"
Kamishiro replied, "Well, I just guessed."
"Ah? You guessed?"
Kakashi was a bit confused.
Kamishiro said matter-of-factly, as if it were the most obvious thing, "Yeah, I've thought he was a bad apple since I was a kid, so I guessed it was him."
Having no evidence, Kamishiro could only answer like this.
Kakashi and Rin Nohara twitched the corners of their mouths. Was it that hasty?
Obito asked doubtfully, "What if you guessed wrong?"
Kamishiro said firmly, "There's absolutely no way I'm wrong!"
It's him! If it isn't him, I'll eat this table!"
But no matter how certain Kamishiro sounded, without any evidence, they just couldn't believe a single word he said.
Rin Nohara frowned and asked, "So, did you just guess about the human Puppets?"
"No, I once saw his Puppets. I could find some clues from the details of his Puppets."
This time, Kakashi and the others believed Kamishiro's fabricated story.
They didn't know anything about Kamishiro's situation in Sunagakure Village, so they had no choice but to believe whatever he said.
Obito asked curiously, 'How do you make human Puppets out of living people? Do you hollow out the person and then install parts inside?'
Kamishiro sneered disdainfully, 'If it were that simple, he wouldn't be the genius puppet master second only to me. But the need for living people was just my nonsense. Using corpses is fine. I just wanted Pakura to know how crazy Sasori is.'
Kakashi and his two companions stared at Kamishiro speechlessly. There wasn't a single honest word in his mouth. And stop emphasizing that he's the most powerful puppet master. They're really fed up with hearing it.
