Chapter 46 Obito's Midnight Visit
The sky was desolate, with only a few distant stars not obscured by the clouds, suggesting that tomorrow would be another cloudy day.
But as long as you are willing to wait, the dark clouds will eventually dissipate and the weather will eventually clear up.
The future of the Uchiha clan will be the same.
In the following hours, Uchiha Yatsushiro and Uchiha Ike chatted happily, and after clarifying the details of the upcoming operation, it was already late at night.
Before leaving, Uchiha Yatsushiro asked Uchiha Ike, somewhat embarrassed, about the amount of compensation.
Although the two became friends after a fight and are now practically allies, he still has to pay the compensation he owes, since he really did burn down the other party's courtyard.
So Uchiha Ike extorted a large sum of money from him.
They falsely claimed that the overgrown courtyard was prime land in the Land of Grass, worth 50,000 taels per square meter... So 100 square meters would be 5 million taels.
After learning that he needed to pay five million taels in compensation.
The Eighth Hokage of the Uchiha clan, a three-tomoe man with elderly parents and young children to care for, fell into a long silence before finally speaking with difficulty, saying that he didn't have that much money.
Seeing the embarrassed expression on Uchiha Hachimoku's face, Uchiha Ike couldn't help but sigh: The only thing that can break a mature man is the lack of money.
But he wasn't a bad person after all.
After learning in detail about Uchiha Hachimoku's salary in the police force.
Uchiha Ike thoughtfully tailored a solution specifically for the other party.
He only needs to return a certain amount each month to reduce his interest by half.
The original interest rate was 2% per day, but after the reduction, it's 1%.
The amount that needs to be repaid each month is not much; at least there's enough money left over to eat, though you might not be able to afford meat.
In addition, Uchiha Ike also considered the possibility of Uchiha Hachimoku's accident, and that if he was unable to repay the debt in the future, his children could inherit the IOU.
In short, as long as you work hard enough, you will be able to pay off this debt someday.
The Eighth Hokage was deeply moved and even knelt down on the spot to express his gratitude for Uchiha Ike's generosity with a dogeza (a traditional Japanese gesture of respect).
Uchiha Ike, of course, stopped him in time. After all, he wasn't a bad person. Since you've already decided to return the money, why do you need to kneel down?
So he reminded Uchiha Hachika that his fingerprints hadn't been pressed yet, and told him to kneel down while pressing them.
Watching the Eighth Hokage's figure disappear into the night, Uchiha Ike lowered his head, looked at the IOU in his hand, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.
There are still more good people than bad in the world...
As if sensing Uchiha Ike's thoughts, the streetlights outside the door suddenly flickered twice.
He was about to turn around and go back inside when he heard a loud shout from not far away.
"Who's there? Stop right there!"
"Hmph, trying to escape!?"
Then came the rapid, chaotic sound of running, which sounded like one person chasing and another running.
Two minutes later.
The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha carried a person whose fate was unknown back to Uchiha Ike.
"Achi." His expression was serious, and his tone was somewhat nervous. "This person has been loitering around your door, acting suspiciously. Could it be...?"
He meant that the other party might be someone sent by a force that colluded with Fugaku Uchiha.
This made him nervous, since he and Uchiha Ike had just finished discussing countermeasures inside the house, only to find that the other party was monitoring them from outside.
Doesn't this mean the plan is about to be exposed?
Thinking this, a strong killing intent flashed in Uchiha Yatsuhoku's eyes.
The family's future cannot be destroyed like this!
"Calm down, Lao Ba," Uchiha Ike said, trying to soothe him.
He thought about it and felt it was unlikely that anyone was spying on him.
After all, this power was something he had created himself.
The blame was shifted to Danzo, but the original prototype was White Zetsu.
As for White Zetsu?
It's possible for White Zetsu to monitor the Uchiha clan, but it's unlikely that White Zetsu would monitor Uchiha Ike.
If Obito is a White Zetsu trap, then wherever Obito is, there is definitely at least one White Zetsu hidden within a ten-meter radius.
Then Uchiha Ike is the White Zetsu expulsion agent.
Ever since Ah Fei was kicked around like a soccer ball once, wherever he is, there are no more old ladies pretending to be injured. The elderly people in the village are all walking briskly, afraid of being kicked from behind.
So... who could this person loitering in front of his house be?
Uchiha Ike shifted his gaze to the unconscious figure.
Just then, he heard unconscious murmurs coming from Uchiha Hachimoku.
"Lin..."
Uchiha Ike's expression suddenly became quite interesting.
He hesitated for a moment, then said to Uchiha Yatsuho, "Put him down first."
The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha obediently did as he was told, and as if removing armor, he simply took the person off his shoulder.
boom!
The sound of a heavy object hitting the ground echoed as Uchiha Hachimo looked at the other person's twitching legs and nodded in satisfaction: "Not dead yet."
"..." Uchiha Ike's lips twitched, and he half-squatted down, turning the figure on the ground over.
Upon seeing the brown-yellow goggles, Uchiha Ike nodded knowingly.
"Obito?" he gently tried to wake the other person.
Obito did not respond.
It was Uchiha Yatsuho, who was standing to the side, who spoke up.
"Is this someone you know?" Uchiha Yasho blinked, looking puzzled. "Then why is he running away?"
Uchiha Ike looked up at the other person's three-tomoe Sharingan, which was still open: "..."
Why does it feel like Lao Ba's ninja wisdom level isn't quite up to par?
In the middle of the night, suddenly seeing a three-tomoe Sharingan emerge from the darkness, who wouldn't panic?
Uchiha Ike felt that explaining was too troublesome, so he simply turned his gaze back to Obito and gently patted the other's face twice.
Why does it feel... off?
Try tapping it a couple more times.
Still not right.
Uchiha Ike squinted and noticed that the other person looked bruised and swollen.
Just then, Uchiha Yatsuhoshi's embarrassed voice came from above.
"He kept running, and when I told him to stop, he wouldn't listen, so I had no choice but to chase after him and catch him... But he still struggled, so I had to use some force..."
"..." Uchiha Ike glanced at Uchiha Yatsuhoshi again in silence.
"Sorry," Uchiha Yatsuho said, a little embarrassed by the stare, touching his neck. "I didn't know this was your friend, Aike."
"He's not my friend, and you did a great job," Uchiha Ike shook his head in praise.
"If it were me, I'd probably beat him even harder, and might even accidentally kill him..."
Just then.
Obito Uchiha's body twitched twice, and his eyes slowly opened.
At first glance, he saw the three-tomoe Sharingan next to him.
This is the guy who beat himself half to death without saying a word!
"Ah!!" Obito screamed as he backed away, bracing himself with his hands.
boom!
With a dull thud as a fist struck his face, Obito Uchiha fell back into a deep sleep.
"..." This time it was Uchiha Hachimoku's turn to silently look at Uchiha Ike.
Uchiha Ike shrugged: "Just like now."
