Chapter 16

_____ One month later, in the snow-covered schoolyard.

"Yes, Kakashi, tilt your head and bend your legs a little, like you are exhausted. Remember you're so tired it's hard even to stand up. Rin, you put one arm under his left armpit and lean forward as if you were stabbing him with a knife."

"Okay," Rin said cheerfully, but Kakashi was not happy about the situation.

For Kakashi, the money Yuta was offering didn't matter much. After all, his father was a ninja who completed another S-level mission every time he went. But for Rin, the fifty thousand ryo Yuta had promised her was a significant amount of money. Probably more than an entire year's allowance for a girl her age.

Kakashi normally wouldn't have taken any request seriously from someone like Yuta, who had even dared to ask him to undress for money, but he couldn't stand the fact that Rin was begging him because she needed the money so badly. Obito, standing a little behind the stage, was here for a similar reason.

Yuta said he wouldn't need any of them if even one of them refused. When naive Rin heard this, she immediately convinced Obito and Kakashi. At first, Obito was happy about this, thinking that he was going to have an event with Rin, but as he looked at Kakashi and Rin, almost arm in arm, he was seething with anger.

"Obito, you stay behind the tree. It's like you're secretly watching what's going on here. And act like you're pissed off about what's going on... Or forget the last part, your expression is good enough now."

When everyone took their places as Yuta directed, Yuta smiled, raised his hand, and took a picture with the system.

From Yuta's angle, everything that was happening right now was just like Rin's death scene. The only difference was that Kakashi was the one whose chest was pierced.

Over the past month, Yuta had traveled to every corner of the Konoha and had taken dozens of photos that had won him awards. Unfortunately, he didn't have any more interesting photos to take. He still had some ideas, but they were too dangerous.

Yuta mostly received the cursed energy enhancement prize for taking these photos. He also got one silver and one gold monster summoning.

After photographing everything that could be easily photographed, such as Ichiraku ramen or the Hokage building, Yuta was left with the option of building his own scenes. And isn't a good photographer the one who captures images that no one has ever seen before?

So he gambled with Tsunade and won a large sum of money to organize today's event.

[ Congratulations on catching a silver moment; revenge too soon ]

[ Photo award: Solita Vista (special edition)

When Yuta saw that his plan had succeeded, he immediately gave new orders.

"Okay, now Obito and Rin switch places please"

Obito and Kakashi simultaneously grimaced and said that was enough for today, while Rin agreed without much care. Yuta looked at the description of the ability he had acquired as he waited in a corner without saying anything, waiting for Rin to convince them.

[ Solita Vista: The user removes and crushes their eye, projecting the photos taken by the system onto a screen that appears in the air for everyone to see. ]

Yuta was happy, thinking he had acquired a new talent after a long time until he read the definition of talent. What kind of maniac would gouge out his own eyes to show others something?

And you can only use the ability twice in your lifetime.

Yuta sighed, admitting that he had acquired a garbage talent, and looked up to see how the new stage arrangement was coming along.

Rin's convincing had been successful and finally, both Kakashi and Obito had taken their new places. It now looked as if Obito was piercing Kakashi's heart and Rin was watching sadly from a far corner.

"Rin, you look a little more shocked. And if possible, you can cry some tears."

As Rin did her best, Yuta raised his hand and looked at the beauty of the scene from the camera angle. At that moment he realized that Kakashi and Obito were looking away from each other in disgust.

"Obito and Kakashi, please look at each other."

Kakashi let out a "tch" and looked at Obito, who looked back at him angrily.

[ Congratulations on catching a silver moment; something doesn't look right ]

[ Photo prize: talent-Curtain ]

When Yuta saw that he had received another talent award from the system, he sneaked back and continued to move the trio around to take pictures, but he did not receive another award from the system.

When the bell rang announcing the end of the lunch break, Kakashi and Obito, who had been fighting amongst themselves until a moment ago, came to Yuta as if in agreement and opened their hands. Seeing their speed, Rin angrily queued for their paychecks and they each received fifty thousand ryo from Yuta.

Yuta went to sit under a rock in the distance while Kakashi returned to class feeling like he had completed his first ninja mission without being a ninja, Obito offered to buy Rin lunch after school, but Rin kept her eyes on Yuta, who sat quietly in a corner.

Obito was worried that Rin had feelings for Yuta, but Rin opened her mouth and calmed him down.

"Doesn't Yuta look very sad to you?"

Obito, who was full of love for people at this time, looked at Yuta more carefully at Rin's words.

"He really looks sad. I wonder if he's sad because he gave us all his money. We made a lot of money just by posing for a few poses and I will return some of it to him."

"Hmm me too."

Obito and Rin, feeling bad about Yuta, walked silently through the snow and as they approached him, they realized that Yuta was sitting on a rock, mumbling as he was about to fall asleep in the thinking man's position.

Yuta was mumbling about how easy it was to buy people and complaining that the snow was too bright.

When Obito and Rin heard his words, they changed their direction and started walking straight toward the school. It wasn't the first time Yuta had skipped class after all.
