MM Racing Chapter 159 Lin's Birthday
Chapter 159 Lin's Birthday
Every time Obito hears Kyosuke speak, he gets so angry he grinds his teeth.
His face swelled with anger, and he was about to retaliate when he remembered what was on his mind, so he could only let out a harsh snort.
"Kyosuke, I need your help this time."
"what?!"
Upon hearing Obito's words, Kyosuke was shocked and jumped back a large step, clasping his hands together in a hand seal posture, looking extremely wary.
"Who are you to dare impersonate Obito! The proud Uchiha would never ask for help from others!"
Obito was both amused and exasperated, and plopped down in a chair.
"I really need your help, be serious."
Kyosuke smiled, stopped fooling around, and sat down next to Obito.
"This is the first time I've ever seen you ask someone for help. Tell me what it is. As long as I don't have to pay, anything is fine."
"This matter..."
Obito suddenly started stammering and closed the door behind him, looking somewhat guilty.
Seeing this, Kyosuke's smile widened even more.
"You'll have to say it sooner or later, so just be straightforward. I wouldn't be surprised if you wanted to destroy the ninja world anyway, so stop being so coy."
Obito clenched his fist, seemingly having made up his mind, then leaned closer to Kyosuke and whispered something.
"Lin's birthday is coming up."
"Oh~ Oh~" Kyosuke uttered two high-pitched "ohs," glancing at Obito with a smile, the corners of his mouth turning up high: "So?"
"Hehe, you helped Minato Namikaze last time, and it was very successful, so I want you to help me out."
At this point, Obito even resorted to bribery.
"Minato Namikaze can teach you the Rasengan, and I can give you money. I've been saving up for half a year."
Upon hearing the word "money," Kyosuke's eyes lit up, and he immediately reached out and pulled at Obito's clothes.
"Where's the money?"
Obito slapped Kyosuke's hand away and said confidently, "I didn't bring you. I will only give you the reward after you complete the mission."
Kyosuke reluctantly withdrew his hand: "As expected of an old classmate, you really know me well. But, did Kakashi teach you these things?"
Obito immediately retorted, "Of course not, I came up with it myself."
Kyosuke nodded, looking like he understood: "It really is that bastard Kakashi. He must be getting revenge for how I used to boss him around. I'll remember that grudge."
Obito chuckled and said, "I didn't betray Kakashi; that's all your own imagination."
Looking at Obito's youthful appearance, Kyosuke felt somewhat speechless.
I'm supposed to be the mastermind behind the ninja world, secretly manipulating things, yet I'm supposed to be playing house with Obito and chasing girls.
This art style is a bit strange.
Moreover, it seems that Rin likes Kakashi, Obito likes Rin, and Kakashi and Obito have an ambiguous relationship.
Hehehe, it's actually quite interesting when you think about it.
Think about it carefully: in the anime, what triggered Obito to awaken his Sharingan was either Rin's death or Kakashi's act of killing Rin.
Is it more due to Rin's influence or Kakashi's influence?
Forget it, I won't think about it too much. Even if I don't give Obito face, I should at least give face to his Sharingan.
Although the plot has changed a long time ago, and Obito may not be able to awaken the Sharingan, it's better to be prepared. Who can predict what will happen in the future?
Let's nurture the bond between Obito, Kakashi, and Rin, and then... hehehe...
Thinking of this, Kyosuke nodded: "Tell me, what are your requirements?"
Upon hearing Kyosuke's agreement, Obito was overjoyed and quickly said, "I want Rin to have the happiest birthday ever."
"Is that all? Doesn't require her to have feelings for you, or even like you? This is a rare opportunity!"
Kyosuke is serious about doing things for money and has to consider the client's needs, but his flirtatious tone was a bit too overt.
Obito immediately blushed and said against his will, "What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't think that way at all."
Kyosuke deliberately pressed, "Are you sure? This is your only chance, you know. The same trick won't work again, okay?"
Obito's neck swelled, his nostrils flared as he panted heavily, and he stammered, "If you insist on doing this, there's nothing I can do to stop you..."
Hey!
Well, I'm determined to do it this way.
Well, you can't stop me.
Obito has indeed grown a bit.
Kyosuke patted Obito on the shoulder and said confidently, "Get the money ready, leave the rest to me!"
At that moment, in Obito's eyes, Kyosuke appeared as if a god had descended, with golden light shimmering behind him.
Having tricked Obito away, Kyosuke slapped his forehead and came up with a birthday event for Rin in just one second.
When it comes to a child's birthday, how it's celebrated isn't important, nor is the gift. What matters is the feeling of being noticed, cared for, and the center of attention. If that atmosphere is right, Lin will definitely be happy.
Well, Kyosuke thinks he's an exception; he just wants money, not feelings.
Then, Kyosuke started recruiting men, and the first one he found was Kakashi.
Kyosuke also contacted Kai and his other classmates.
The classmates all agreed, saying they would come to help as long as they didn't have any tasks on Lin's birthday.
During this process, Kyosuke not only didn't spend a single penny, but also got a lot of the activity funds that Obito gave him for free, and even brought in a lot of money.
In Kyosuke's words.
"For Lin to have a wonderful memory, those of us with money should contribute money and those with strength should contribute strength. We should contribute money first and then strength, and we should contribute more money first and then less money."
During this period, Lin felt somewhat anxious and uncertain.
My birthday is coming up soon, but it seems like no one has noticed.
The gentle and kind Lin did not complain about everyone, but she was also a little disappointed.
Finally, the day we'd been waiting for arrived, but Kakashi and Obito had disappeared without a trace.
Lin didn't know what to do, so she could only put on a smile and wander around the street, hoping to feel some noise in the coming and going crowds.
"Oh my, I didn't expect you guys to be such good actors. You managed to keep it a secret for so long without Lin finding out."
In the alley, Kyosuke peeked at Rin's somewhat desolate figure and teased Kakashi and Obito beside him.
"As your friend, I'm quite worried that I might be tricked by you one day."
Kakashi said calmly, "Don't worry, you're not my friend."
Obito became even more agitated, growling in a low voice like a small animal: "Of course not a friend! You took all my money these past few days! My hard-earned money! What's worse, you embezzled almost all of it!"
"They're not friends, then I'm relieved."
Kyosuke let out a long sigh of relief, looking extremely fortunate, and ignored Obito's accusations, instead straightening up.
"I hereby declare the operation commence! Attack, Roaring Obito!"
Obito's eye twitched as he watched Kyosuke wave his hand forcefully.
That damn Kyosuke, he treats me like a pet!
And Kakashi, don't think I didn't see it, your lips were twitching from smiling so much!
For Lin's sake, I endured it!
Obito glared at them angrily, then strode out of the alley.
However, thinking about what was about to happen, Obito became very nervous. His body stiffened, like a rusty robot, and he even walked with his arms and legs moving in unison.
Obito left, and Kyosuke glanced at Kakashi.
Rin has feelings for Kakashi, but Kakashi is helping Obito...
Tsk tsk, Naruto really is a tragic romance drama!
"I'm going to check on Kai's preparations."
Kakashi felt uncomfortable under Kyosuke's gaze, so he tilted his head back and walked out of the alley with feigned arrogance.
