Traveling through Naruto, I am Uchiha Obito?

"Nice~"

"System, use the experience card!"

The Rubik's Cube is eager to experience the feeling of being a master.

Jiraiya, who was not far away, felt a chill for some reason, as if he sensed that danger was approaching.

He felt it! This powerful force! A mysterious current flowed to his dantian, and he could feel the power operating in his lower abdomen.

"coming!"

A jumbled mess of hand seals

"Fire Release: Dragon Fire!"

*Pfft* (fart sound)

The Rubik's Cube felt as if a flock of crows had flown overhead.

……

Jiraiya not far away

"What? It's a spider? This brat really doesn't know how to be hygienic. By the way, isn't the food ready yet?"

……

The Rubik's Cube in the kitchen was angrily spewing out its fury at the system; without a doubt, it had become famous.

"What kind of garbage system is this? It only has one function, and not even a newbie gift pack, and you're even engaging in fraudulent advertising? Where did my trial card go? Huh? Did you keep it all for yourself? Speak up! Answer me!"

"Injustice... Injustice! Host! I've already said I'm the Naruto mobile game recruitment system, so of course I unlock ninjas from the mobile game."

"In mobile games? How can there be any difference?"

The Rubik's Cube, bewildered by the newfound knowledge in its mind, thought, "Wow, it's getting a brain."

In no time, the magician had digested the extra knowledge in his mind, then silently picked up a potato from the cutting board and slammed it down hard.

"Damn it! It only has two skills and one ultimate move? Are you trying to mess with me like I'm Japanese? What happened to all the skills?!"

"In mobile games, there are only two skills and one ultimate move, right..."

Tongzi seemed to lack confidence as well, and her voice became noticeably weaker.

"Shut up. With the bond between my adoptive father and me, when haven't I learned these few ninjutsu? Besides, I have the Sharingan. What ninjutsu can't I copy and paste except for bloodline limits?"

"Huh? Right, bloodline limit?" Rubik's Cube seemed to realize something and changed his expression, smiling.

"Brother Tong, I was wrong just now. I have a question that I wonder if you could answer for me."

"You...you ask."

"If I unlock Haku, even if I can only use his three skills in the game, it's like I have the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai. I can then train other Ice Release ninjutsu on my own, right?"

"That's right..."

"Then, if I unlock Obito and Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan abilities, can I use them too?"

The Rubik's Cube asked excitedly.

"It is possible, but mastering it requires practice from the host. The skills that can be used directly are limited to the game's presentation."

"That's enough. Sorry, Tongzi, I misunderstood you just now. Do you want some potatoes? Do you need to recharge? I don't have much else at home, but I have plenty of potatoes. If you don't mind sticking the charging Kun out, I'll treat you to a big meal."

"How did you know that our system is powered by terminal potatoes?"

"Damn, it really is a potato?"

Chapter 4 System and Apprenticeship

"The food is ready. Sorry to keep you waiting."

Jiraiya, who was lying on the table, looked up at the dinner on the table, his eyes shining. He could finally eat.

"But...why are there so many potatoes?"

Looking at the stir-fried shredded potatoes, potato pancakes, mashed potatoes, and potato stew on the table, Jiraiya's lips twitched involuntarily.

"You freeloader, you're really something else. Do you think this is the Land of Fire? It's already a miracle that we have so many potatoes to eat. I also stir-fried the fish that Aunt Xiangzi gave us. Just make do with this."

After saying that, Mo Fang went back to eating.

Jiraiya smiled awkwardly after hearing this, feeling a bit guilty, and then took the initiative to bring up the topic.

"By the way, why are you home alone? Where are your parents?"

The Rubik's Cube paused for a moment, then gave a vague reply.

"I only have one mother, who just passed away a few days ago."

"Oh... please accept my condolences."

Jiraiya knew he had stepped on a landmine; he had only wanted to get some information out of his head but had ended up shortening his own lifespan.

"Well, you must have siblings or something, right? I saw them when I passed by the cabinets when I went to the bathroom just now."

The red-haired girl in the photo is so cute! Is she your older sister? She'll definitely grow up to be a stunning beauty.

After saying that, Jiraiya gave the Rubik's Cube a thumbs up with a funny expression.

The Rubik's Cube glanced at him and said...

“That’s my mom in the photo.”

"Red bean paste fruit, what is it?!"

Jiraiya performed a very standard dogeza (a deep, formal kowtow) on the tatami mat, which shows he's done this quite often.

The Rubik's Cube sighed and said...

"It's okay, let's eat first. You can ask me anything you want to know."

Someone as strong as you can easily get me to tell you anything I want to know, no matter what method I use. You don't need to try to trick me like this. Although we haven't known each other for long, I can tell you're a good person.

Don't worry, I'll tell you everything I know the answer to your questions.

Jiraiya felt as if a holy light was shining from behind the eight-year-old boy in front of him.

"Of course, if you really feel guilty, you can pay in cash. If you don't have money, you can teach me a few more ninjutsu, just a few S-rank ones. I'm not greedy."

Jiraiya was instantly jolted awake, gritting his teeth as he spoke.

"Damn it, am I under an illusion? When?"

Never mind, let's eat first!

After a series of grunting sounds...

"Hiccup." ×2

After a hearty meal of water and potatoes, the two, one big and one small, lay down on the tatami mat to rest.

Rubik's Cube glanced at Jiraiya, who seemed to want to speak but didn't know where to begin, and said calmly.

"Ask whatever you want."

Jiraiya chuckled twice and asked...

"Your mother is an orphan of the Uzumaki clan. She must have told you that."

"Ah, the red hair feature, I know, my mother told me the story of the Uzumaki clan. She also told me about the deeds of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, so I was able to recognize you right away."

"Oh, even though I know I'm quite famous, it's a little embarrassing to be recognized in a place like this."

Jiraiya said narcissistically.

"You're very skilled at using the teleportation technique. Did your mother teach you?"

"No, I just learned the Body Flicker Technique; I only refined the chakra last night."

My mother wasn't a ninja. She said it was a book on chakra refinement given to me by my father, whom I never met, and that she only gave it to me on her deathbed.

"Huh? So you only spent one night not only refining chakra but also using the Body Flicker Technique to this extent? Genius!"

Jiraiya jumped up from the tatami mat, startling the Rubik's Cube.

"Is it really necessary to be so surprised? Aren't you one of the legendary Sannin? You must have seen many geniuses."

“It’s understandable that you can cultivate chakra in just one night, but your Body Flicker Technique level has definitely reached, no, even surpassed, the level of an ordinary ninja. And yet you only practiced it for one night?”

Even in Konoha, geniuses of this caliber are rare! Damn it, I'm so unwilling to accept this. It reminds me of that bastard Orochimaru. Why are all you geniuses so infuriating?

"Oh, thanks for the compliment."

"I'm not praising you!"

Jiraiya was silent for a moment before speaking.

"Kid, what are you planning to do now? I don't think you're going to stay in this village forever. If you don't have anywhere to go, I can take you somewhere..."

"Stop! Let's not talk about Konoha."

Jiraiya seemed somewhat surprised and asked.

"why?"

Rubik's Cube casually said

“My mother said she doesn’t like Konoha. She said that the Land of Whirlpools and Konoha used to be allies, but when the Land of Whirlpools was destroyed, Konoha did not come to its aid. So she told me to be careful of Konoha.”

Here, Rubik's Cube actually told a lie that wasn't quite a lie, because it wasn't Chino who disliked Konoha, but rather Chino's parents, especially Chino's father, her grandfather. He had always held a grudge about this, believing that if Konoha had sent reinforcements, his hometown wouldn't have been destroyed and his parents wouldn't have died protecting him. This was also why he didn't take his wife and daughter to Konoha.

Jiraiya gave a wry smile after hearing this.

"At that time, Konoha had just been established. Because the First Hokage died young, the village was in chaos. Other countries saw this as an opportunity to start a war and declared war on Konoha. The First Shinobi World War broke out. The Land of Whirlpools was destroyed during this period. At that time, Konoha was fighting against four ninja villages on its own and simply did not have the spare strength to support the Land of Whirlpools."

"Yeah, I understand."

Jiraiya asked, still somewhat unwilling.

"Are you really not considering coming to Konoha? With your talent and the village's relationship with the Uzumaki clan, they will definitely focus on training you. You will definitely become an excellent ninja."

"If you're outside, not every ninja is as easy to talk to as I am. Believe me, if you encounter ninjas from other villages, or rogue ninjas, even if you're talented, you'll be easily killed if you don't have enough time to grow."

These words were not a threat. Although they had only spent a short time together, the boy in front of him had left a very good impression on Jiraiya. Perhaps it was the fact that the boy was an orphan of the Uzumaki clan that reminded him of his grand-disciple who was all alone in the village. Jiraiya looked at the Rubik's Cube with a touch of kindness in his eyes.

Seemingly sensing the concern in Jiraiya's words, Rubik's Cube also stood up and knelt on one knee in Jiraiya's direction.

"You brat, what are you trying to do? I'm warning you, I don't have that kind of fetish."

"Shut up! You lecherous sage! What else is in your head besides that pile of lewd nonsense?"

"What do you know, you brat? That's art, art!"

"I'll teach you a toad-oil-flame bomb!"

"You brat..."

"Please accept me as your apprentice!!!"

Just as Jiraiya was about to retort, he looked at the black-haired boy kneeling with his head bowed in front of him, and his expression gradually became serious.

"Get up, kid. I have no reason to take you as my apprentice. Although you have good talent, I am ultimately a Konoha ninja. I came out on a mission this time, and I have a very important mission to fulfill. I can't take you with me. I'm sorry."

"No, I will get you to agree."

"Oh, why?"

Jiraiya was somewhat curious, after all, there weren't many people who could change his mind.

"Based on this."

The Rubik's Cube slowly raised its head and looked up and down at the tall middle-aged man, watching Jiraiya's originally serious eyes gradually turn into shock.

"Little... brat, those eyes of yours..."

Seeing those familiar two-tomoe Sharingan eyes, Jiraiya felt shocked for the first time since encountering the Cube. Before, whether it was the identity of the Uzumaki orphan or his extraordinary ninjutsu talent, they had only amazed him. But these two-tomoe Sharingan eyes truly astonished him.

The Uchiha clan was wiped out when Sasuke was 7 years old, and Mofang is the same age as Sasuke, now 8 years old. It has been a year since the Uchiha clan was wiped out.

This means that the Rubik's Cube in front of him is comparable to the giant panda of the ninja world. If he wants, any force in the ninja world will welcome him. Even if he is a Fei Wu who only knows how to eat and drink, they will arrange a lot of beautiful women for him to help the Uchiha clan to proliferate.

Seeing Jiraiya's surprised expression, just as he had expected, Rubik's Cube felt relieved. He knew that even if he didn't ask Jiraiya for help, Jiraiya would still have to keep him by his side.
