Chapter 215: Obito Awakens

Konoha Village.

On the countertop at Ichiraku Ramen stall.

Three people were at the stall's table, one standing, one sitting, surrounding a figure lying down in the middle.

The so-called "stall" actually refers to small shops like Ichiraku Ramen.

These three people were naturally Tōshirō, Obito, and Rin.

At this moment, Obito was unconscious, while Nohara Rin beside him looked at him worriedly.

Causing all this was Tōshirō, who appeared indifferent and unconcerned.

They had maintained this stance for quite a while. If it weren't for the lack of customers at the moment, the owner, Teuchi, would likely not be happy.

This was because Tōshirō's genjutsu level was still not proficient and couldn't control the time within the illusion space as freely as the Tsukuyomi.

"Rin!!!"

A deafening shout broke the silence here, causing passersby to peek in, thinking something bad had happened.

It wasn't that these people had nothing better to do; it was just that the shout was too shocking. Anyone on the street who wasn't deaf could hear the shrill cry.

"It's happening!"

At this moment, Tōshirō, who had been waiting for a long time, was energized, with even his Sharingan activated, closely observing Obito's changes.

At this moment, Obito seemed like a startled deer in the woods, suddenly encountering a predator. He jumped three feet high, overturning the entire table in front of him.

Bowls, chopsticks, and snacks flew all around!

Obito's expression was ferocious, and his eyes bulged with anger!

Even the corners of his eyes, due to intense emotion, split open, letting a trickle of blood flow down slowly.

The entire iris of his eyes had turned crimson, with two black tomoe, the Uchiha clan's bloodline limit: Sharingan!

Obito had awakened his eyes!

"Indeed, double tomoe!"

Seeing this, Tōshirō wasn't surprised!

He knew exactly what Obito had been through in the illusion he cast. Awakening his eyes was within his expectations.

But he wondered...

At this moment, the two black tomoe in Rin's eyes were spinning rapidly. If Tōshirō had not activated his own Sharingan, he might not have seen the changes in Obito's eyes clearly.

[Could this kid achieve it in one go?]

Understanding what it represented, Tōshirō thought to himself.

If Obito could awaken his eyes directly from a normal state to the Mangekyō level, it would be unprecedented.

Even the Sage of Six Paths and Indra didn't achieve that; their first awakening was just three tomoe.

So three tomoe should be his limit.

Mangekyō?

Absolutely impossible!

As the tomoe in Obito's eyes spun to the limit, just before some change could occur—

"Huh?"

Suddenly realizing he was at Ichiraku Ramen, Obito froze for a while, looking dazed.

Seeing Nohara Rin, who was looking at him with full concern, he felt confused about what had just happened.

Just now... Rin... hadn't she been attacked by that Iwa-nin while trying to save him... The opponent's head... wasn't it just in his hands...

Thinking about this, he sobered up a bit and looked down at his hands.

Nothing was there!

"Obito! Are you alright?"

Seeing her companion finally coming around slightly, Nohara Rin breathed a big sigh of relief. She was quite curious about what exactly Obito had gone through in Tōshirō's illusion.

Not only did he awaken his bloodline limit, the Sharingan, but his aura had also seemed terrifyingly different for a moment.

Although she had no perception abilities, being so close and so familiar with Obito, she hadn't missed any of his changes.

For just an instant, Obito seemed like a different person, making her unsure if the one standing before her was still the Obito she knew.

"Genjutsu?"

Still not fully recovered, Obito mechanically repeated the words after Rin, slumping into the chair as if exhausted.

"So it was a genjutsu!"

After experiencing that nightmare-like false world, with Rin's explanation, Obito finally came to his senses.

"Rin... I'm so glad you're alright!"

After the fright, realizing it had all been an illusion, Obito's emotions burst forth.

He suddenly hugged the unsuspecting Nohara Rin, burying his head into her chest like an ostrich.

If that was all, it would be fine!

But this guy was crying and sniffing, making Tōshirō on the side twitch his mouth.

"You really scared me just now!"

"I thought... I thought..."

As he spoke, he cried even more intensely!

Nohara Rin, being hugged, felt a massive headache due to the embarrassment!

She was dying of embarrassment!

[Luckily, Rin has a gentle nature. If she were like Tsunade or Sakura, delivering a punch to Obito... I can't even imagine the scene…]

Standing aside and watching the whole incident, Tōshirō deactivated his Sharingan, resting his chin on his hand, watching the drama unfold with great interest.

"Alright! Alright! You're about to become a Chūnin and have awakened the Sharingan you've always wanted. Crying like this, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

Nohara Rin patiently comforted Obito.

With people being drawn by the earlier shriek, and Teuchi eyeing them, Tōshirō watching the drama unfold, Rin wished she could crawl into a hole.

It was truly too embarrassing!

"Uh..."

Feeling the soft waist in his hand and the fragrance at his nose, Obito finally realized what he was doing.

His whole body stiffened!

But the spectators wouldn't care about his predicament.

"Ha! Is this kid really about to become a Chūnin?"

"Really? This crying and screaming kid becoming a Chūnin? It must be fake!"

"Exactly! Saying the guy beside him is a Chūnin sounds more plausible; this kid? I doubt it!"

"..."

Hearing the chaotic voices around him, Obito felt utterly disheartened. He didn't know where to place his hands and feet, let alone care about his activated Sharingan.

He was panicking!

With Obito's infatuation, giving a hug is not too much~
