Chapter 405 Sharingan Cheating
Chapter 405 Sharingan Cheating
The sun was shining brightly, and a gentle breeze was just right.
Obito Uchiha, who was being targeted by White Zetsu, was walking down the smooth street of the commercial district with his hands in his pockets and an air of nonchalance.
Although it was a bright and sunny day, he still wore the same pair of pure black goggles that had made a splash in the finals.
Not only that, he even turned up his collar, trying to create the aura of a master.
Commonly known as showing off!
"Wow! Look! It's that Uchiha brother who won the championship!"
On the roadside, several young kids who had just finished school at the Ninja Academy pointed at Obito and chattered excitedly.
"Seriously! He looks so cool in those black glasses!"
Obito's ears keenly picked up these sounds.
His lips instantly curled into an uncontrollable, wild smile, but he forcefully suppressed the urge to laugh out loud.
He turned his head slightly, facing the direction of those kids, and slowly waved his hand in what he considered to be the demeanor of a master.
"Wow, this damn popularity..." Obito thought to himself with glee, "My reputation as the future Hokage is finally starting to spread throughout the village!"
However, this blissful reverie was soon shattered by a spoilsport.
"Obito, if you keep walking like that like an idiot, I'm going to stay away from you. I'm ashamed of you."
Kakashi Hatake, walking beside him, crossed his arms and looked at him with disdain.
Kakashi was dressed casually in gray clothes today, with his black mask still covering most of his face.
He looked at Obito's pretentious posture, which resembled a peacock spreading its tail feathers, and said with utter disdain.
"Do you think that by wearing those dark glasses, people won't notice you're smiling like an idiot right now?"
Kakashi's sharp tongue remains as sharp as ever: "Also, aren't you hot with your collar turned up in this heat? I think you're about to get heat rash on the back of your neck."
"What do you know! That's called presence!"
Obito jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, his face turning bright red, and glared fiercely at Kakashi through his black goggles.
"You're just jealous, jealous that I won the championship, jealous that I'm more popular than you now, you arrogant masked man, what right do you have to talk to me like that?"
"Oh, sorry, I'm a Jonin now." Kakashi rolled his eyes, his tone calm but extremely lethal.
"You! If you have the guts, let's duel right now!" Obito yelled angrily.
"Alright, alright, why do you two always start arguing as soon as you meet?"
Nohara Rin, who was walking between the two, sighed helplessly and quickly stepped forward.
She was wearing a light green sleeveless top today, and she looked very energetic.
"It's a rare day off, everyone's out relaxing, can't we just keep quiet for a bit?"
Lin pointed to a building in front of her.
"I heard a new arcade called Konoha Arcade opened in Starlight City. It has lots of cool games. Let's go play there!"
"A video game arcade?" Obito was taken aback, then his eyes lit up. "Is it that entertainment facility the research institute built? Great! Today, I'll take you guys to see what a true gaming genius is!"
"You?" Kakashi sneered. "Just don't end up crying when you lose."
"What did you say?! Let's go! Today I'm going to beat you to a pulp in the game!"
……
Inside the Konoha Arcade, the place was bustling with noise.
The sounds of various electronic sound effects, cheers, and mechanical collisions mingled together, creating a deafening noise.
Obito, Kakashi, and Rin moved among rows of gleaming machines.
"Wow, how do you play this?" Lin looked curiously at a claw machine, which actually contained plush toys of the Three Ninjas.
Lady Tsunade... Hehe, Lady Tsunade is so cute.
Lin looked at the adorable version of the three ninjas and her girlish heart fluttered.
Obito's attention, however, was drawn to two enormous machines placed side by side in the corner, surrounded by a group of teenagers.
The neon sign above the machine flashed the words: Ninja World Fighting King.
"Kakashi, dare to play a round?" Obito pointed at the two machines and challenged Kakashi.
"Whatever." Kakashi put his hands in his pockets and walked to one of the machines, where he sat down.
Obito immediately sat down in front of another machine.
Insert a coin, begin.
On the screen, two pixelated ninja characters appear.
"Take this! My invincible combo punches!"
Obito roared excitedly, frantically manipulating the joystick and buttons with both hands, making a "crackling" sound.
However, the ideal is full, and the reality is very skinny.
"Uppercut, side kick, defense, counter-attack."
Kakashi stared at the screen expressionlessly, his fingers dancing lightly across the keys with fluid, effortless movements.
On the screen, Obito's character was cornered by Kakashi's character, followed by a dazzling infinite combo.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
"Huh? Wait a minute! I haven't even made my move yet! Why can't I move?!"
Obito was sweating profusely, shaking the joystick so hard it creaked, but the character on the screen could only take hits in the corner, his health bar dropping rapidly at a visible speed.
"Damn it! You definitely cheated!"
Seeing that his health bar was down to a sliver and he was about to be knocked out, Obito panicked.
"How could I possibly lose in a game!"
A scarlet light shone in his eye sockets, and three black tomoe instantly appeared, spinning rapidly!
"Sharingan! Activate!"
With the Sharingan's terrifying dynamic vision, Kakashi could clearly see the number of frames in the wind-up animation of each of his attacks, and even the area where the attack was judged.
"I see! I've figured it out!"
Obito's eyes gleamed, and he yanked hard on the joystick with both hands.
On the screen, Obito, who was originally low on health, managed to dodge Kakashi's fatal blow with a very close call.
"Counterattack begins!"
Obito's hands turned into a blur.
"Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, B, A!"
On the screen, Obito's character suddenly burst out with dazzling light, unleashing a smooth and powerful finishing move that instantly took down Kakashi's character at full health!
【KO!】
A huge victory logo popped up on the screen.
Obito suddenly jumped up from the chair, put his hands on his hips, and laughed loudly.
"Hahaha! I won! I'm invincible!"
Kakashi watched the character fall on the screen, then slowly turned his head, his eye fixed on Obito's Sharingan, which was still spinning through his goggles.
"Obito..." Kakashi's voice was cold.
"You're just playing an arcade game and you suddenly have Sharingan?"
Kakashi pointed at Obito's eyes: "That's cheating."
"What do you mean by cheating?" Obito retorted confidently, showing no shame whatsoever, but rather becoming even more smug.
"That's called making good use of your bloodline limit! What, you disagree? Go ahead and see for yourself!"
"..." Kakashi covered his forehead speechlessly. Arguing with such a shameless guy was simply lowering his own IQ.
"Alright, alright, you two are really something."
Rin was laughing so hard she was doubled over. Holding a Tsunade doll in her left hand and handing the bags of drinks to the two of them with her right, she exclaimed:
"To be this passionate about playing a game, that's probably what youth is all about."
