Chapter 31: A Ridiculous Multiple-Choice Question

Mount Myoboku.

Deep within the towering mountain range stood a palace. Inside, a massive toad sat upon a colossal throne engraved with the kanji for "Sage."

The toad was enormous, with orange skin, a scholar's hat perched on its head, and a string of prayer beads around its neck. At the center of the beads was a gem inscribed with the kanji for "Oil."

This was the Great Toad Sage.

For many years, the Great Toad Sage had been in deep slumber. But today, his eyes suddenly snapped open, revealing a flash of astonishment in their golden depths.

Moments ago, he sensed a ripple—a shift in the Ninja World.

The prophecy he once made had inexplicably changed, morphing into something incomprehensible.

He pondered the new vision, stroking his chin, before finally speaking.

"Fukasaku, Shima, summon Jiraiya. Tell him I have urgent matters to discuss."

Two smaller toads hopped forward.

Fukasaku tilted his head in surprise.

"Did you foresee something new?"

The Great Toad Sage nodded, though his tone carried uncertainty.

"Perhaps... you could say that."

The next day, Obito and his teammates gathered at the designated meeting point.

After assigning tasks to the group, Minato gave Obito a complicated look before hurriedly departing.

Rin tilted her head in confusion.

"Did you notice? Sensei looked so exhausted today."

Obito smirked, resting his chin in his palm.

"Oh? I thought Sensei seemed rather... happy."

Kakashi shot Obito a sidelong glance.

It was almost certain that Minato-sensei's unusual behavior had something—directly or indirectly—to do with this idiot.

As newly minted Genin, Obito and Rin were limited to taking on D-rank missions. Unfortunately for Kakashi, as their teammate, he had no choice but to tag along.

"Another round of mind-numbing busywork," Obito sighed dramatically.

Kakashi and Rin silently nodded in agreement.

D-rank missions typically involved non-combat, low-risk activities. Tasks included finding lost pets, picking up trash, babysitting, conducting behavior surveys, and even helping to dig up sweet potatoes.

"Let's just get today's task over with quickly," Kakashi suggested. "The sooner we're done, the sooner we can start training this afternoon."

"Yosh!" Obito cheered enthusiastically.

As the days turned into weeks, the team steadily grew stronger.

Obito finally managed to master the Shadow Clone Jutsu he'd been longing to learn.

After training one evening, he returned home, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Let's give this a try!" he muttered, forming the seals for the jutsu.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

In a puff of smoke, an exact replica of Obito appeared. The two stared at each other, wide-eyed with curiosity.

"Alright, partner," Obito declared. "You handle the training for me!"

The clone lazily plopped onto the bed, shaking its head.

"I refuse."

They locked eyes in silence for a moment before Obito heaved a long sigh.

"I should've seen that coming... If I hate training, why would my clone enjoy it?"

Shaking his head, he dispelled the clone.

"Well, so much for that plan."

Peering outside, he noticed the sky was still bright.

"Maybe I'll go out for a bit... but who should I visit?"

Before he could decide, the system chimed in his head.

[Option 1: Visit Guy. Reward: White Snake Lady skin 1.]

[Option 2: Visit Rin. Reward: Balenciaga High Stockings 1.]

[Option 3: Visit Shikayu. Reward: Chess Set 1.]

[Option 4: Visit Ayame. Reward: Chakra Worm Eggs 100.]

[Option 5: Visit Kakashi. Reward: Sexy Technique.]

"Huh?!"

The options left Obito momentarily speechless.

The bizarre rewards were one thing—he could live with a chess set or even chakra worm eggs.

But why on earth would visiting Kakashi earn him the Sexy Technique?!

"...Could it be?" Obito fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he shook his head.

"Nah, I'm just overthinking it."

"Let's eliminate Options 1, 3, and 4. I'm not interested in bugs, and I don't feel like playing chess with Shikayu today. Rin's reward is tempting, but... nah, I don't want anyone else staring at her."

He nodded decisively.

"Looks like it's Option 5!"

"By the way, system, can I choose multiple options?" Obito asked hopefully.

The system's voice was icy and unwavering.

[Ding! May I switch hosts instead?]

Obito clicked his tongue in defeat.

"Fine, fine. Forget I asked."

Once again, he summoned a Shadow Clone.

"Alright, buddy, I'll take care of the multiple-choice question. You handle preparing some fruit wine for Minato-sensei."

The clone gave an enthusiastic thumbs-up.

"Yosh! Anything but training is fine by me!"

As Obito darted out the door, the clone grabbed a jar of fruit wine from the kitchen.

"Last time, I overdid it," the clone mused, pulling nine small pouches from a drawer.

"This should be the perfect balance."

Meanwhile, Obito raced to Kakashi's house, pounding on the door.

"Who is it?"

Kakashi opened the door, looking confused.

"Obito? What are you doing here?"

Obito grinned mischievously.

"Nothing much, just thought I'd drop by!"

At that moment, the system chimed again.

[Choice complete! Reward unlocked: Sexy Technique.]

Kakashi's suspicion deepened, but before he could respond, Obito's expression turned sly.

"By the way, Kakashi, I just mastered a new jutsu. Want to see? It's super impressive."

Kakashi's disinterest was palpable.

"No, I—"

The words died in his throat as his eyes widened in shock.

In front of him, Obito had transformed into a stunning young woman with flowing black hair, dazzling star-like eyes, and an astonishingly alluring figure.

Kakashi froze, dumbfounded.

Yes! Obito celebrated inwardly.

When designing the look, he had drawn inspiration from a collection of beauties from his previous life, combining them into one ultimate form.

Kakashi, meanwhile, felt warmth trickling from his nose.

Without a word, he grabbed Obito's arm and pulled him inside.

"It's windy out here. Let's talk inside."

"W-wait, Kakashi, hold on—"

The door slammed shut, and all that followed was silence.
