Naruto: Five Lives, Five Times the Excitement

Chapter 117 Shisui's Sharingan

Sizzle sizzle sizzle.

The aroma of grilled meat wafted over, and Kyosuke was enjoying his meal with fruit juice. Seeing this, Obito was extremely displeased.

"Hey, you! You just said you'd help me come up with ideas, but now all you care about is eating meat, and you even made Shisui pay the bill. It's outrageous!"

"Niso, niso."

The grilled meat was so hot it burned his tongue, and Kyosuke's speech became a little off-key. He gulped down two mouthfuls of juice, feeling a surge of pleasure.

Oh well, this guy will always be like this.

Obito sighed and said, "Rin was discharged from the hospital yesterday, but because of the burns, she has a large scar on her left cheek. I'm worried that she'll be upset and I don't know how to help her."

"That's it?"

After hearing Obito's words, Kyosuke's reply was somewhat indifferent, which angered Obito.

Obito jumped up, pointed at Kyosuke's nose, and roared, "Hey, Rin is your classmate too! We even fought together! How can you treat her like this now that she's suffered like this?!"

Shisui, standing to the side, was somewhat at a loss, having never seen Obito so angry before.

In Shisui's memory, Obito's personality seemed quite good; he was cheerful every day and didn't react much even when mocked by some of his clansmen.

Kyosuke flipped the meat over with his chopsticks, remaining calm and unaffected by Obito's emotions.

“Obito, in this war with the Sand Village, we lost at least a thousand ninjas, and many more were injured. Given the current situation in the ninja world, Konoha will definitely have many more wars in the next few years, and who knows how many more people will die. You think it's tragic that Rin was injured, but aren't the dead tragic?”

"You've always wanted to become Hokage, so you should care about everyone in Konoha. Now, thousands of Konoha ninjas have died, and in your heart, it's not as important as Rin's injury. Why do people support you? What makes you think you deserve to be Hokage?"

Obito was speechless, stammering, "I...I...I really want to help Rin...I love everyone too..."

No wonder he's someone who'd start a ninja world war and even activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi just for Rin; he's such a devoted lover at such a young age.

That makes sense, though. Only when one's emotions are deep, pure, obsessive, and intense can Obito fully unleash the power of the Sharingan.

Obito and Rin were also Kyosuke's companions, so Kyosuke naturally didn't just talk about grand principles; he then began to offer suggestions.

"If you truly care about Lin, you only need to do two things. First, work hard with Lin in your cultivation so you don't die in future wars. Second, warm Lin's heart by being there for her. Hehehe, actually, I think Lin is stronger than you. After you meet, I wonder who will comfort whom."

After Kyosuke finished speaking, he looked down and noticed that the number of meat slices on the grill was incorrect. He turned his head and saw Shisui putting a piece of meat into his mouth.

Seeing Kyosuke's gaze, Shisui smiled politely.

Wow, this guy is just like Kakashi. He can actually eat his meat quietly without being distracted by my nonsense. That's a really good quality for a ninja.

Unlike Obito, who was easily distracted and always forgot to eat meat.

Obito felt much better after hearing Kyosuke's advice, but he was still somewhat dejected.

“But Lin has scars on her face. Even if she doesn’t show it, she must be very sad inside. I want to help her.”

"Hehehe, you're still a fool!"

After Kyosuke finished the last piece of meat, he looked at the bare baking pan and laughed heartily, feeling very happy.

"There are so many ninjutsu techniques in the ninja world, removing scars isn't difficult. Once you have money and status, you can easily find a skilled medical ninja to solve the problem."

Children are always like this, blinded by the difficulties before them, and always feeling uneasy. But as they grow up, they will find that as long as they have enough wealth and power, there are countless ways to solve problems in the world, and many problems are not problems at all.

If Obito knew how powerful he was in the anime, he probably wouldn't have been troubled by this.

Well, not necessarily. The Uchiha's personality is always unpredictable.

"I thought you had some better idea, but it turns out this is all you have. If I had enough money, of course I would do it, but I don't."

Obito rolled his eyes, showing great disdain for Kyosuke's method.

Kyosuke scoffed, then put his arm around Obito's shoulder and said with a grin, "There are ways to make money even if you don't have any. For example, you can give Rin a pretty mask. This is a rare opportunity. You two can go shopping together to buy masks. I heard that there are couple masks, and you can even customize them."

"Oh my, yes, you can do that? Kyosuke, you're a genius!"

Obito was overjoyed, though it was unclear whether it was because he could help Rin or because he could take the opportunity to order matching masks with her. Kyosuke guessed the second reason was more plausible.

Having made up his mind, Obito didn't want to waste a moment and hurriedly left to find a mask at the market.

Kyosuke walked out of the barbecue restaurant, while Shisui behind him put away his empty wallet and looked at Kyosuke's back.

Today, this young captain has truly left a deep impression on Shisui.

"Ah, after a full meal, we should exercise. Shisui, let's have a spar. It will help us digest our food, increase our understanding of each other, and allow us to cooperate better in future missions."

"Yes!"

Shisui was also very interested in the new captain's strength.

When both sides arrived at the training ground, the sun was already setting, and the sky was a deep red.

"Let's begin, Shisui!"

Kyosuke took out a kunai and looked at Shisui in front of him.

"Yes, please enlighten me, senior!"

Shisui held the specially made short sword and activated his one-tomoe Sharingan.

I don't know how Shisui awakened his Sharingan. Did he suffer the hardships of life at such a young age?

However, it seems that the awakening of the Uchiha Sharingan is only related to intense emotions, and does not necessarily require suffering or feeling the pain of losing someone important. It is just the most direct way.

Perhaps, Shisui's love for his village and his family was the reason he opened his eyes. However, the two could not coexist, and the village and his family were even hostile to each other. Under the painful stimulation of this unrequited love, he opened his eyes.

Well, the above is purely speculation.

Kyosuke's mind wandered while he was making his guess, and Shisui's Sharingan caught it instantly, prompting Shisui to launch an attack immediately.

choke!

Even after Kyosuke reacted and blocked Shisui's short sword with a kunai, he still laughed and said, "Your strength, speed, and reaction are already very impressive for your age, but you still don't meet the standards of a genin."

Despite Kyosuke's teasing, Shisui remained calm, his Sharingan fixed on Kyosuke's eyes as he activated a genjutsu.

"This is?"

In Kyosuke's eyes, Shisui transformed into a flock of crows that swooped down on Kyosuke's face. Kyosuke brandished his kunai, trying to scare the crows away, when he felt a sharp object pressed against his lower back.

"Captain, I won this time."

Shisui stood behind Kyosuke, holding a short sword in both hands. For the first time since his victory, a smile appeared on his lips, and his voice carried a hint of pride.

"That's more like it. You're younger than me, so you should be more lively. Don't always look so calm. Otherwise, when you grow up, you'll have fewer opportunities to be lively."

Kyosuke dropped his kunai and raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, but he continued to tease Shisui in the same tone.
