Thanks to Kamishiro's transformation, Obito has now undergone a huge change.
However, Obito still hasn't changed his way of speaking.
Well, it can't be helped. One's habits can't be altered that quickly.
Kamishiro reminded him, "It doesn't matter on ordinary days, but when you see Rin, you must remember to speak briefly and be cool! And keep a poker face. Got it?"
Obito stretched out his right - hand thumb and index finger and placed them under his chin. "Cool~ Kamishiro, am I cool now?"
Kamishiro's right eyebrow twitched involuntarily. "I don't really sense the coolness. It just seems rather vague. Oh well, take it slow. You can't be hasty about this kind of thing. Alright, off you go. Remember your look well and stick to it from now on."
Obito adjusted his sunglasses and nodded seriously. "Okay!"
Obito left the tent.
Kamishiro let out a sigh of relief, saying, "Finally, it's quiet. I can read my Scroll in peace."
Kamishiro picked up a Scroll and started reading it again.
...
After leaving the tent, Obito kept recalling what Kamishiro had just said.
"Speak briefly, be cool, and keep a poker face..."
Lost in thought, Obito unknowingly walked in front of Rin Nohara's tent.
Obito stood still on the spot. Then he smoothed his slicked-back hairstyle. "Of course, I have to let Rin be the first to see such a handsome me!"
"Rin! Are you in there?"
Obito, who never knocked on the door when going to Kamishiro's tent, knew to call out when he came to Rin Nohara's tent.
However, Obito didn't get a response from Rin.
"Rin seemed to have gone to Kakashi's tent just now. She should be visiting Kakashi."
A passing ninja, hearing Obito calling for Rin, kindly reminded Obito.
"I see. Thank you!"
After expressing his gratitude, Obito decided to go to Kakashi's tent.
The passing ninja looked at Obito in confusion. "By the way... who are you? I don't think I've seen you before."
Obito pointed at himself with his thumb. "I'm Obito! Obito Uchiha!"
"Hey, you're Obito. Why did you change your look? I almost didn't recognize you."
"That's because..."
Just when Obito was gonna answer, he remembered what Kamishiro had told him, 'Speak briefly, be cool, and keep a poker face'.
Obito coughed once and said, "Change of mood."
After saying that, Obito just lifted his feet and walked away.
The passing ninja watched Obito leave and muttered in confusion, "Change of mood? How strange."
Obito arrived at Kakashi's tent.
As soon as he entered the tent, Obito wanted to shout.
But Kamishiro seemed to be right beside Obito, muttering, "Obito, if you shout out, you're a fool, the stupidest fool ever. Rin will never like you!"
Obito managed to hold it back. Then he walked up to Rin Nohara, who was checking on Kakashi. Looking at Kakashi, he coolly asked, "How are you?"
Both Kakashi and Rin Nohara looked at the drastically changed Obito in surprise.
Rin Nohara curiously asked, "Obito, why are you dressed like this?"
Obito briefly replied, "Just changing my style."
Rin Nohara sized him up and commented, "Well, I gotta say, you really look cool."
"Just so - so."
Obito's lips curled up involuntarily, but he desperately tried to control the upward curve.
He had to be cool now; he couldn't smile! Hold it in!
Kakashi looked at Obito, whose lips were twitching wildly, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Are you having a mouth spasm?"
Obito's fingernails dug into his palm instantly. He almost cursed out.
Obito asked expressionlessly, "How about you?"
Looking at Obito now, Kakashi felt something was off, but he still replied, "After these few days of rest, I'm basically okay."
"That's good."
Kakashi wondered, "You're so quiet today. Usually, you talk a lot. According to your personality, you should have shouted our names and announced your arrival when you entered the tent just now."
Obito pushed his sunglasses up with his middle finger and replied, "That was before. It's not necessary."
Kakashi's eye twitched. Obito, he's really showing off!
Rin Nohara asked worriedly, "Obito, have you encountered something?"
Obito pouted. He thought he looked so cool now and should be given a big compliment, not asked if something was wrong.
Obito continued to maintain his persona, "It's okay. I'm fine."
Kakashi's nose under his mask twitched. "Although we had ramen today, the smell of ramen on you is way too strong, Obito."
Rin Nohara also sniffed carefully. "Yeah, this smell... It seems to be coming from your hair. Yuck, why is your head so greasy and shiny, Obito?"
Obito's face turned dark immediately.
Why did he smell like ramen and why was his head so greasy? It was all because of Kamishiro.
His slicked - back hairstyle was made with two spits from Kamishiro.
Just thinking about it made him feel sick. He wanted to wash his hair.
"I'm leaving!"
Obito stuffed his hands in his pockets and turned around to leave.
Rin Nohara wondered, "What's wrong with Obito?"
Kakashi shrugged. "Who knows? But Obito and Kamishiro are pretty close. Maybe Obito's sudden change has something to do with Kamishiro."
Rin Nohara thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. "Quite possible."
The reason why Kakashi and Rin Nohara thought so was that compared with the two of them, Kamishiro really got along better with Obito and had a closer relationship with him.
...
Inside the tent, Kamishiro spent the whole day reading.
After getting up the next day, Kamishiro washed up and then rummaged through the materials on the ground, getting ready to make a puppet for Jiraiya.
"First, the skeleton... Jiraiya must be very strong, so it has to be a bit sturdier. But it can't be too sturdy. When it breaks and he comes to me for repairs later, I can still get a kickback."
"Then, the filling. It should be soft, with an elasticity close to that of a human body... Hmm, this material will do."
"Next is the skin... Making skin is my specialty. I'm sure it'll make Jiraiya praise me."
While making the puppet, Kamishiro was fully immersed in the work.
During this time, Obito came by once and brought food for Kamishiro. Kamishiro told Obito to just put the food on the table.
Obito stayed and watched for a while. Not understanding what was going on and feeling a bit bored, he then left.
It was not until midnight.
Kamishiro let out a long sigh and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
The puppet was finally done. Kamishiro took out a piece of cloth, made a set of clothes, and dressed the puppet.
After dressing the puppet, Kamishiro took a few steps back and sized up the newly - made puppet.
The puppet in front of Kamishiro had an extremely sexy figure, just like Tsunade.
When you look at it closely, it does look a bit like Tsunade between the eyebrows. However, when you take a second look, it really doesn't look like her.
Because Tsunade had a mature and elegant style, while this face was a combination of that mature style and a sweet - girl style.
It could be said that Kamishiro had achieved the highest level of resemblance he could.
Kamishiro nodded in satisfaction. "Well~ No wonder I'm so awesome!"
