Chapter 160 A Powerful Person
Haruko used to complain that Obito Uchiha was always playing the good Samaritan and making her wait, but now she couldn't wait for him to become a kind villager, the kind of kind who wouldn't be back for a while.
So now Haruko has to avoid Kurenai when she comes to gossip, otherwise Obito Uchiha will get upset.
"Sigh..." Haruko sighed for a long time, then suddenly remembered that Kurenai also had a childhood friend, so she chose to ask her, "How do Kurenai and Asuma usually get along?"
"Us?" Kurenai Yuhi recalled their usual conversations.
"Asuma will pick me up to go to school together, and we'll walk home together after school."
Correspondingly, Obito would pick her up every day, although he was often late because he was trying to be a good Samaritan.
"We eat lunch together, and sometimes after school we'll go out for a nice meal and do some shopping or something."
Correspondingly, Obito, under her moral coercion, would also act as her walking wallet, although still under his strict control.
"But Asuma is also very willful. He gets very upset when people call him the Hokage's son, and I have to coax him every time this happens."
In contrast, Obito was much more willful than Asuma; she didn't even know what he was angry about!
"In short, it feels like I have an extra older brother?" Kurenai Yuhi struggled to summarize her uninformed experience.
Haruko clapped enthusiastically, "What an amazing way to get along!"
"No, not at all." Kurenai Yuhi was embarrassed by her praise.
"What if Asuma gets angry with you? What will the Red Cross do?" Haruko asked the most crucial question, focusing her attention on waiting for her experience.
This stumped Kurenai Yuhi. "But Asuma doesn't seem to have ever been angry with me."
Haruko was shocked. "But Obito gets angry all the time. They're both boys, so why is there such a big difference?!"
The fact that Sarutobi Asuma wasn't angry with Yuhi Kurenai was so shocking that Haruko's voice, which had been furtive, suddenly became louder.
Then they heard Obito Uchiha's furious voice coming from outside the restroom, "I don't get angry all the time! Are you making new friends behind my back again?!"
"..."
Haruko silently got up, rubbed her numb calves, and gave Kurenai a tragic expression as she prepared to face Obito Uchiha's wrath.
Kurenai clasped her hands together in prayer for her, saying, "Haruko is truly an incorrigible and formidable person."
Originally just wondering why Haruko had been in the bathroom for so long, Obito Uchiha began to linger suspiciously outside the bathroom, pretending to be just passing by when others did.
However, when his opponent Kakashi Hatake approached, Obito Uchiha froze.
Kakashi Hatake glanced at him a few times and slowly said, "You want to go into the women's restroom but are too embarrassed?"
Noticing that everyone around him had stopped and were looking at him strangely, Obito Uchiha immediately blushed. "I didn't mean to get into a woman's room... cough, I didn't!"
"Oh." Kakashi Hatake's tone revealed disinterest. "You're blocking my way to the toilet."
Obito Uchiha clenched his fists and took a few steps to the side, embarrassed and annoyed.
Just as Kakashi Hatake was about to enter the restroom, a gasp suddenly came from the women's restroom, "But Obito gets angry all the time. Why is there such a big difference between them, even though they're both boys?!"
"..."
The scene fell silent for a moment.
Once again met with the amused expressions of those around him, Obito Uchiha roared at the women's restroom: "I don't get angry all the time! Are you making new friends behind my back again?!"
Kakashi Hatake looked confused. Had they caught each other cheating in the women's restroom?
Then, seeing Haruko Uchiha emerge from the women's restroom looking utterly dejected, Kakashi Hatake immediately understood. After all, both of them were strange individuals, so he ignored them and walked straight into the restroom.
Having lost face in front of everyone, Obito Uchiha, seething with resentment, pulled Haruko to a secluded corner.
"What have you been saying about me outside?!"
“It’s not slander…it’s the truth.” Haruko muttered under her breath, unconvinced. “Besides, Obito is angry right now.”
Obito Uchiha's face turned red. "That's because you always make me angry!"
Haruko was shocked that he was blaming her. Her eyes widened in disbelief. "I didn't make you angry! I don't even know what you're angry about, so it couldn't be me!"
"...That's why I'm even angrier because you didn't even realize I was angry!"
The two children glared at each other defiantly, then snorted and turned their heads away, refusing to look at each other.
Haruko announced to him, somewhat annoyed, "I'm angry this time!"
Obito crossed his arms, pretending to be nonchalant. "Is that so? I'm not going to coax you this time!"
Haruko looked at him incredulously, as if she were looking at a heartless man. "I'm always the one who comforts you when you're angry!"
"So you're the one who always makes me angry! Shouldn't you try to appease me?!" Obito Uchiha could no longer contain himself.
Haruko made up her mind and, in a fit of pique, pointed randomly in a direction, "You're not my best friend anymore! My best friend is him!"
Obito followed her hand and looked in the direction she was pointing. Unexpectedly, a boy with a bowl cut and wearing a green bodysuit was passing by. He noticed that both of them were looking at him, and the boy with thick eyebrows pointed at him in confusion.
"..." The two of them fell silent, which was unusual for them.
Obito Uchiha's lips twitched. "Your aesthetic sense is consistently excellent."
Although Haruko regretted it the moment she saw the thick eyebrows, she became indignant when she heard Obito Uchiha's mocking words.
"How could you laugh at someone? Even though they have a bowl cut, thick eyebrows, and are wearing weird bodysuits, and they look like they're not very smart, it's still wrong to laugh at someone!"
Obito Uchiha raised his hand to wipe his face, "You're such a jerk..."
Matt Kai hadn't realized what they were doing yet; he had just finished his run and was suddenly dragged into an argument.
Scratching his head in bewilderment, Matt Kai decided to be bold in the face of adversity. He flashed eight teeth and gave them both a thumbs-up, "Thanks for your support!"
"..." ×2
Haruko silently took Obito Uchiha's hand, "...I was wrong, Obito. You really are my best friend."
Despite wanting to criticize her fickle behavior, seeing such bizarre thick eyebrows for the first time, Obito Uchiha also wanted to flee the scene as quickly as possible.
"Good that you know. Go back to class now." Obito Uchiha then gave Might Guy an awkward smile and quickly led Haruko away.
Still full of enthusiasm, Matt Kai: What an interesting classmate!
...
Haruko leaned against the classroom window and discussed the thick eyebrows she had encountered with Kurenai Yuhi.
"So he's the supplementary recruit that Hong was talking about. He really does seem like a hot-blooded idiot." Haruko looked at the green scenery of people running on the middle school playground and sighed deeply.
Kurenai Yuhi's eyes followed Might Guy's strange attire. "Right? His personality is really unique. Has Haruko already spoken to him?"
"Not only did we talk, but I also witnessed how sparkly his eight teeth were," Haruko affirmed. "He must take great care of his teeth!"
Kurenai turned her gaze to Haruko, who was a few meters away, and asked in a loud voice, "So why are we talking from so far away?"
Haruko pointed behind her, and Kurenai saw Obito Uchiha emerge from behind Haruko with a proud expression.
"..." Kurenai instantly understood what she meant.
Haruko explained to her, "Because I was asking Obito for forgiveness, Obito stipulated that I must keep my distance from you."
Seeing that while she was talking, Obito Uchiha was still gloating to Kurenai Yuhi behind her, Kurenai Yuhi immediately pouted.
"Asuma, thankfully you're nothing like Obito." Kurenai Yuhi turned to Sarutobi Asuma, who was standing beside her, and gave him a look of relief.
Hearing his childhood friend's praise, Sarutobi Asuma couldn't help but proudly cross his arms, inwardly thanking Uchiha Obito for being an idiot.
Uchiha Obito: ?
