Chapter 19 Have you ever seen Konoha at 4:30 in the morning?
"That young man has already paid for your drinks..."
Upon hearing the izakaya owner's words, Tsunade's almond-shaped eyes narrowed sharply.
Memories from not long ago kept swirling around her; the boy's handsome face appeared before her eyes, and even his murmured voice seemed to echo in her ears.
"I have no one to share with..."
"If I had an older sister..."
After standing there in silence for an unknown amount of time, Tsunade finally turned around and walked towards the door without saying a word.
Stepping out of the izakaya, a cool breeze blew in her face, and she instinctively wrapped her trench coat tighter around herself.
The drunkenness in her eyes was completely dispelled, and feeling the warmth from the trench coat, Tsunade slightly tightened her hands that were placed in front of her chest.
Over the years, she has owed money to many people and owed favors to many people, but she has never accepted any kindness from anyone.
For her, this kindness was like a curse, difficult to discern once it began.
Hashirama, Nawaki, broken...
Those who showed her kindness, after becoming important to her, would one day quietly leave, leaving her alone to endure unbearable, long pain.
She no longer wanted to live like that, so she closed herself off and began a life of wandering.
This can't be done, this can't be done.
Tsunade's inner voice kept telling her that she couldn't accept this kindness and had to find a way to make it up to her.
It's ridiculous, really. She was the one who started making things difficult for him...
Looking at the Hokage Rock not far away, Tsunade's expression grew increasingly confused despite her firm resolve.
"How come I don't even know his name..."
#
Uchiha clan.
Uchiha Ike had barely stepped into the clan's territory when he heard a powerful musical bell ringing out.
[A trigger from Tsunade has been detected!]
[Gain 20 points and increase defense by 4%!]
[Target's emotional fluctuations exceed the standard; host receives an additional reward: Super Strength (Tsunade version)!]
[By concentrating chakra and power at a single point, one can achieve astonishing destructive power!]
[Note: This punch might kill you.]
At the same time, Uchiha Ike felt his strength suddenly increase, and his physical strength also increased significantly. He felt incredibly healthy!
Uchiha Ike subconsciously touched the top of his head and found that it hadn't gone bald or become pointed, and a satisfied expression immediately appeared on his face.
Can we have more of this kind of good fortune, where a trench coat can be traded for Tsunade's superhuman strength?
He glanced up at the dark night sky, pondered for a moment, and then asked the system in a light tone, "What time is it?"
The system responded instantly: [04:30:21]
Uchiha Ike shook his head and sighed. It was already 4:30 in the morning; most people were already fast asleep, but a promising young man like him was still diligently training to become stronger...
"Uchiha Ike!"
A voice suddenly interrupted Uchiha Ike's self-praise. He looked up unhappily, wondering who was being so rude.
Thump, thump, thump!
The black-haired boy wearing goggles strode up to him, his face full of anger.
Upon seeing who it was, Uchiha Ike's expression immediately softened: "Oh, it's Obito."
He didn't actually dislike Obito Uchiha. On the contrary, to Uchiha Ike, both White Zetsu Agan and Obito Uchiha were incredibly kind-hearted.
Especially for someone like Obito, who gets a huge amount of gold coins after only one meeting, how is he any different from an angel investor who gives him a large sum of money upon their first meeting?
Thinking of this, Uchiha Ike subconsciously tensed his face.
He was afraid he wouldn't be able to stop himself from laughing.
"Where did you go?" Obito Uchiha asked, arms crossed and a look of displeasure on his face.
Uchiha Ike tilted his head strangely: "I went to the Naka River to train my mental state. Do you know where people come from and where they go? Do you know the meaning of hard work and struggle? Have you ever seen Konoha at 4:30 in the morning...?"
Where do we come from, and where are we going?
What is the meaning of hard work?
Konoha at 4:30 AM?
What is all this about?
Looking at Uchiha Ike's ambiguous smile and the series of cryptic questions, Obito felt his anger burning so fiercely that his face turned as red as pig's blood.
"What does this have to do with me?!" Obito Uchiha interrupted loudly, "You bastard, do you know I've been waiting for you all night?!"
"..." Uchiha Ike silently looked at Obito's dark circles, and for a moment he was even more unable to hold back.
He really didn't know.
I should have come back at dawn.
Uchiha Ike forced a smile, obediently opened his palm, and mimicked Uchiha Obito's tone, saying in a high-pitched voice, "What does this have to do with me?"
[Anger detected from Obito Uchiha!]
[Gain 15 points and increase damage by 3%!]
"That bastard..."
Obito Uchiha's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Ike Uchiha's face.
He had never seen such an annoying guy before, a hundred times more annoying than Kakashi!
No, calm down, I need to calm down...
Obito Uchiha clenched his fists, surprisingly not letting anger completely cloud his judgment.
He clenched the note in his hand; it was a meticulous plan he had written down to ensure the successful achievement of his goal!
1. He questioned Uchiha Ike why he hadn't apologized!
2. Challenge Uchiha Ike to a duel!
3. Beat Uchiha Ike down and make him apologize to Rin!
4. Warn Uchiha Ike to disappear from his and Rin's world!
Very good, clear thinking!
Obito took a deep breath and angrily rebuked Uchiha Ike, "Do you know how heartbroken Rin has been lately? It's all your fault for confessing your feelings and causing her so much distress!"
After saying that, Obito glared at Uchiha Ike, feeling his blood boiling.
In his meticulously planned scheme, if Uchiha Ike shook his head the next second, he could proceed with the second step.
—A challenge to Uchiha Ike!
After completing steps three and four, he and Lin can finally enjoy a happy life together...
At that moment, Uchiha Ike spoke up, interrupting Obito's fantasy.
"Obito-kun," his tone was icy, like a bucket of cold water poured over Obito's head, "didn't you promise me you'd take good care of Rin?"
"what?"
Obito Uchiha looked at Ike Uchiha, bewildered.
[Detection of confusion from Obito Uchiha!]
[Gain 10 points and increase damage by 2%!]
"What are you doing?"
Hearing the system's reward notification, Uchiha Ike maintained his stern face and continued to question, "You, you made such a promise back then, saying you'd take good care of Rin for me, and now you're coming to me complaining?"
As he spoke, he took another step forward, staring intently into Obito Uchiha's eyes, his gaze sharp as a dagger, seemingly piercing Obito's very soul.
"Obito Uchiha, what exactly did you promise?!"
