Chapter 113: Chapter 113: A Miraculous Reward
On a day when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom.
The manor, blanketed with pink petals and lush green grass, resembled a land covered in soft, pink snow.
A delicate fragrance lingered in the air, like the gentle embrace of a young maiden.
The warm sunlight painted everything with a touch of love and serenity.
Amid this picturesque scene, a spiky-haired man stood next to a pineapple-headed guy, holding a soda with a somewhat helpless expression.
"You really... Borrowing this single guy's space for your wedding reception?"
"...This is shrimp cruelty at its finest!"
The short-haired man snatched the soda from his friend's hand, took two big gulps, and replied casually,
"Quit whining, Shikayu. Plenty of girls like you. It's not my fault you won't date anyone."
The two were none other than Nara Shikayu and today's protagonist, Uchiha Obito.
Shikayu lazily scratched the back of his head, yawning as he spoke.
"Eh, women are such a hassle. I'd rather not deal with them."
Obito chugged the rest of the soda and handed the empty cup back to Shikayu.
"Then why don't you just get yourself a boyfriend already?"
Shikayu threw the cup into a nearby bin, glaring at Obito.
"Damn you, Obito! Don't even think about borrowing anything from me ever again!"
Grinning, Obito threw an arm around Shikayu, rubbing against him dramatically.
"Aww, Shikayu-gege~"
"Ugh, get off me, you weirdo!"
"Ha! Men!"
...
Meanwhile, on the other side of the garden...
Might Guy was brimming with energy as he challenged Kakashi.
"Kakashi! Let's duel right now!"
Kakashi gave him a tired side-eye, clearly not interested.
Asuma laughed and patted Guy on the shoulder.
"Relax, Guy. We're here to celebrate today. You can challenge him after the reception."
Guy scratched his head with a sheepish grin.
"Oops, I got a little too fired up. My youth betrayed me! Hahaha!"
...
Not far away...
A shy girl, barely noticeable in the crowd, was anxiously looking around.
"I want to sit at the table with the handsome guys!"
After much hesitation, her face turned bright red as she finally sat down next to Kakashi.
Kakashi turned to her, utterly baffled.
Who are you?
Do I even know you?
The girl noticed Kakashi's unwelcoming expression and looked at him with teary eyes.
"Kakashi-kun, it's me, Ryoko!"
Kakashi: "...!!!"
...
At the back of the venue...
Kurenai Yuhi held Rin's hands, her face full of admiration.
"I'm so jealous of you, Rin."
"To be with someone you've loved since your academy days and now stepping into marriage... It's like a dream come true."
Rin's face glowed with happiness as she giggled.
"(^▽^) Jealous of what? You have someone like that by your side too, Kurenai."
Kurenai's cheeks turned crimson.
"H-Hey! What are you talking about, Rin? I don't like Asuma or anything!"
Rin tilted her head, blinking innocently.
"What are you talking about, Kurenai? I didn't say anything about Asuma."
Embarrassed and flustered, Kurenai smacked Rin lightly, sending her hair fluttering.
"You little brat! How dare you tease me!"
Not to be outdone, Rin grabbed Kurenai's arm, pinching her gently, causing her to squeal.
"Hah! What are you going to do about it?"
After their playful scuffle, the two girls fixed their outfits and returned to the crowd, looking as graceful as ever.
...
In the main hall...
Minato had cleared his schedule of Hokage duties just for this special day.
He stood before his two grown-up students, a fond smile on his face.
Looking at Obito and Rin, Minato couldn't help but feel nostalgic.
In the blink of an eye, seven or eight years had passed.
The children he had once taught now stood as tall as him, ready to face the world.
Taking their hands, Minato placed them together and smiled warmly.
"Obito, Rin, may you both find happiness together."
Both of them replied in unison.
"Thank you, Minato-sensei."
Their hearts were filled with gratitude. Minato had guided them and cared for them over the years.
To have the current Hokage personally preside over their engagement ceremony was an honor few could claim.
After all, who knew how long Kakashi would stay single?
Amid cheers and applause, Obito and Rin exchanged engagement rings, embracing under the falling cherry blossoms.
Obito looked at Rin, remembering their academy days. Holding her tightly, he couldn't help but smile.
"It was love at first sight, and it's you I'll hold for a lifetime."
"I might not be the most romantic guy, but this is my promise. No matter what storms come our way, I'll carry us through. All you need to do is love me."
...
Later that night...
After the reception ended and everything was cleaned up, Obito finally returned home, exhausted.
Only then did he remember the mysterious reward he had received earlier.
Focusing his thoughts, he entered the system interface and selected the mysterious red envelope.
[Are you sure you want to use the Mystery Gift Box?]
Yawning, Obito muttered,
"Yeah, go ahead. Let's see what kind of trash luck I have."
The system chimed:
[Ding! The Mystery Gift Box has been opened!]
[Congratulations! You have received: Lava Release Armor!]
[Congratulations! You have received: Youth-Preserving Pill x1!]
[Congratulations! You have received: Shaping Pill x1!]
Obito raised an eyebrow, pleasantly surprised.
"Oh? Three items? Let's see what I got!"
He started with the first one.
[Lava Release Armor: Forged from molten lava, this armor is both destructive and protective. Its high-temperature coating can melt anything in its path while resisting Kage-level attacks.]
Obito's eyes widened.
"Whoa! This Lava Chakra Mode is insane!"
Eagerly, he moved to the next item.
[Youth-Preserving Pill: Just as the name suggests, consuming this pill grants eternal youth.]
"Huh... Well, this one's definitely for Rin-chan. She'll love it, hehe."
Finally, he checked the last item.
[Shaping Pill: For thirty minutes after consumption, you can freely alter the shape of your body. Afterward, the changes become permanent.]
Obito blinked, then burst out laughing.
"Wha—?! That's outrageous! But... I might just have a brilliant idea, hahaha!"
Five minutes later, his room echoed with maniacal laughter.
