Chapter 177 The Brainless Hedgehog-Headed Tycoon
When Obito Uchiha opened the door, he burst into everyone's view in a pink princess dress.
The princess dress, in shades of pink and white, has layers upon layers of skirt that don't appear heavy. Delicate lace trim extends across it, and it moves lightly and gracefully with Obito Uchiha's steps.
His appearance was already youthful, so wearing a skirt didn't look strange at all. On the contrary, his blushing face made him look even more charming and beautiful.
The moment Obito Uchiha stormed out from behind the door, Haruko felt as if she were seeing the spoiled princess described in the book, and she was the prince waiting to be admired. She was deeply moved by Princess Obito at this moment.
Haruko couldn't wait to run over and hug her princess, cheering for him.
"I've made up my mind! When I grow up, I'm going to marry Obito!"
Her words stunned everyone present, especially Obito Uchiha, whose face was already flushed with embarrassment, making him even more conspicuous than his exquisite princess dress.
"Y-you...no, wait!" Obito's eyes were swollen and blurry, but he still insisted, "It's me who should marry you!"
“Obito…” Nohara Rin couldn’t help but laugh when she saw him so embarrassed and still insisting on who would marry whom.
Kakashi Hatake closed his eyes again: ...Seriously, get those two out of my world.
Knock knock knock!
A faint knocking sound could be heard from outside.
Unexpectedly, someone else came to the door at this time. Kakashi Hatake left the pink bubble-filled scene with doubt.
When Kakashi Hatake opened the door, he was met with a tall, shadowy figure that filled his vision. Slightly taken aback, he looked up at the backlit face.
"Kid, is Haruko Uchiha here?" A rough yet steady voice came from inside.
Kakashi Hatake gripped the doorknob tightly, asking warily, "Who are you?"
Seemingly aware of the problem that height caused the child, Jiraiya squatted down so that Kakashi Hatake could see his entire face.
"I am one of the three legendary ninjas who are invincible and know no east, west, south, or north, the white-haired toad messenger, the handsome man who can silence even the most crying child—Lord Jiraiya!"
Listening to his boastful remarks about his lack of self-awareness about his looks, Kakashi Hatake accurately grasped the key words in his words.
"The Legendary Sannin? You are Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha!" Kakashi Hatake exclaimed in shock.
Jiraiya thoroughly enjoyed the admiring gazes from the children, nodding in satisfaction. "That's right, don't get too excited~"
Although he couldn't stand the narcissistic words of the person in front of him, his admiration for this legendary hero overcame his speechlessness. Little Kakashi Hatake suppressed his excitement and acted maturely like an adult.
"Why is Jiraiya looking for Haruko?" Despite asking seriously, Kakashi Hatake couldn't hide the excitement in his voice.
Jiraiya's eyes darted around, and he made up an excuse, "I'm here to investigate the satisfaction level of the grassroots people with their shift assignments."
"……I see."
Kakashi Hatake had a vague feeling that this legendary figure's tone was so similar to that shameless Haruko Uchiha.
Despite being full of questions, Kakashi Hatake politely led him inside.
"Haruko is right in front of us...!"
Kakashi Hatake paused as he entered the room. Seeing Haruko groping Obito Uchiha (Princess Version) in the living room, he suddenly realized that this was not a good time to meet outsiders!
But it was too late. As soon as Jiraiya turned the corner, he saw Haruko hugging a boy in a skirt. Next to them was Rin Nohara, who had been smiling but froze when she saw Jiraiya.
Jiraiya: ?
"You kids... do you all play so elaborately?" Jiraiya asked slowly, his tone full of admiration.
Kakashi Hatake, embarrassed, quickly stood in front of him, trying to cover up the two idiots who were messing around in his house.
"No, no, no! Lord Jiraiya isn't like that!" Kakashi Hatake frantically tried to shield Jiraiya's vision, only to find that his small figure couldn't block it at all. Finally, he almost screamed in despair, "What they do has absolutely nothing to do with me!"
"What? It was clearly Kakashi who suggested putting Obito in a skirt!" Haruko immediately turned around and blamed him when she heard his words.
But when Haruko caught sight of the large man with thick white hair, her eyes slowly widened, and Jiraiya, who was also staring at her, suddenly went blank.
Just as the awkward atmosphere was building, Haruko exclaimed, "Wow, what a huge spiky head!"
It seemed like it had been a very long time since he had heard this adjective, and Jiraiya's stuck brain struggled to find the relevant memories.
Strange, this feels so familiar...
Why does this girl feel so familiar to him...?
Before he could come to a conclusion, Obito Uchiha hid behind Haruko in embarrassment. He never expected that he would be seen by someone other than them.
He muttered a complaint to the person who started it all, "It's all your fault! I've completely lost face!"
Nohara Rin silently moved next to Haruko to help her block Obito Uchiha, and whispered a reminder: "I think... you're not the only one who's embarrassed. Kakashi seems to be venting his anger by dying."
The three of them looked at Kakashi Hatake, who had given up on explaining and was slumped on the ground. A dark cloud seemed to materialize above his head, and his miserable, lifeless eyes made Haruko feel as if she had scolded herself for a second.
The scene of the company's demise was a huge blow to the usually arrogant Kakashi Hatake.
Kakashi Hatake muttered as he banged his head against the wall, "Those were the Legendary Sannin... My image is completely ruined..."
"The Three Sannin?" Upon hearing this familiar term, Haruko looked curiously at Jiraiya, who was standing there.
Is this spiky-haired guy one of the legendary Sannin?
Jiraiya couldn't find any memory of this girl. When he met her bright eyes again, he almost rushed over and knelt down in front of her.
"Can I... see your face?" Jiraiya asked cautiously.
Wearing a white veil, Haruko firmly replied, "No! Unless... you pay to watch!"
Obito Uchiha sighed and rubbed his forehead, "You really are..."
Unexpectedly, Jiraiya actually started searching his person and even handed the bankbook he found to Haruko without hesitation.
This action made all three children gasp. Haruko looked at the bankbook handed to her and resolutely accepted it.
"This isn't right, Haruko..." Nohara Rin was about to dissuade her, but was interrupted by Haruko's exclamation.
Haruko excitedly patted Rin's arm and handed her the open bankbook. "Rin! So many zeros!"
What are you talking about?
Unaware of what was going on, Obito Uchiha peered through the gap between the two women and was shocked to find a string of zeros on the bankbook.
Rin Nohara counted with trembling hands, “One zero, two, three… Oh my god!”
Overwhelmed by the wealth and power of the white-haired, spiky-haired man, Haruko immediately took Jiraiya's hand and said emotionally, "I'll do this deal!"
This was the first time she had encountered someone richer and more brainless than Obito Uchiha, so she had to cling to him tightly!
