Traveling through Naruto, I am Uchiha Obito?

"Then...then I want to go too!"

Surprisingly, Satsuki didn't show any resistance. Instead, she affectionately took Hinata's arm, rested her head on her shoulder, and happily said:

"That's wonderful! It's been so long since I've gone on a mission with Hinata~ The last time we worked together was probably when we were playing ninja games at the Ninja Academy, right? Ah~ I really miss it. Hinata back then, with that determined look on her face, was like a sunflower in the sunlight, so beautiful and resilient!"

Hinata's face instantly turned bright red from her words, and she shouted in embarrassment and annoyance:

"Satsuki, you idiot! What nonsense are you spouting outside?!"

"They're not just making this up—this is their honest opinion!"

Seeing the two of them starting to argue again, Menma decisively chose to interrupt:

"Alright, stop arguing. Zuo Yue, tell me about your mission. What kind of trouble has that Rubik's Cube kid... no, the Rubik's Cube of our world caused this time?"

Zuo Yue gently touched her red lips with her index finger, recalled the mission details, and said with a smile:

"Should I say... it's the same as always? I was patrolling the village with my team when Uncle Tu saw me and rushed over, wanting me to help 'capture' the Rubik's Cube and take it home."

"Uncle Obito?"

Hinata looked somewhat puzzled.

"Did he have a falling out with Rubik's Cube? That shouldn't be the case. Haven't the father and son always had an enviable relationship?"

Menma didn't interrupt; his gaze was drawn to the Rubik's Cube beside him, whose face instantly turned as if it had swallowed a bitter melon. He immediately began to have some subtle speculations about the relationship between the Rubik's Cube from that world and its father.

He coughed lightly, changing the subject:

"Let's not delay, Zuoyue, let's set off quickly. Where is the Rubik's Cube in our world right now?"

Zuo Yue pointed to the slightly noisy street across the street, a hint of helplessness on her face:

"He should be over there. Actually, we don't need to rush over there... He should be 'running' over here soon."

Before she could finish speaking, a series of running and shouting sounds came from afar, accompanied by a little dust, and a figure suddenly rushed out from the street corner!

He was a boy with a frizzy, spiky hairstyle, his clothes were dirty from running around, and his face was covered in dust. He kept looking back as he ran, with a kind of... not-so-bright, carefree smile on his face.

Behind him, several people wearing Uchiha clan insignia and Konoha police uniforms were panting and shouting as they chased after him.

"Give up, Rubik's Cube! Come back with us!"

"Exactly! Your parents are worried sick! Come home now!"

"Honestly, this brat! He's not even a ninja yet, how can he run so fast... I'm exhausted..."

"It's time you lost weight!"

"What nonsense! I'm not fat, I just have a big stomach, which makes my belly protrude a bit!"

Hearing the shouts from behind, the boy in front, nicknamed "Rubik's Cube," not only didn't stop, but instead let out an even louder, even somewhat silly, laugh:

"Hahaha! You idiots can't catch up with me! I'm going to be the Hokage! The Fifth Hokage position is mine to have! Uchiha Cube!"

Go back and tell that idiot old man that I will definitely become an excellent ninja! Let him watch... This great one... Huh?! Menma-san?! Satsuki-nee?! And... this this this..."

His boastful words came to an abrupt halt when he saw the Rubik's Cube next to Menma, who bore a striking resemblance to himself but possessed a completely different aura. Utterly shocked, he forgot to watch where he was going and tripped over his own feet in a classic fashion…

"Ouch!"

With a thud, he fell face-first into the mud.

The security team members who followed closely behind seized the opportunity to swarm him and finally subdue him.

"Let me go! Gentlemen! It was my carelessness, I didn't dodge! This victory is unfair!"

The "Uchiha Cube," pinned to the ground, was still struggling and shouting in defiance.

"Shut up, you idiot! Come back with us now!"

"Exactly! You're just adding to our workload! We haven't even settled accounts with you yet!"

"Let me go! Let me go!"

……

Having witnessed this whole farce, the Rubik's Cube, amidst Naruto's shocked expression of "Holy crap, who is this?", Hinata's speechless look of being too embarrassed to watch, Menma's calm "I knew it" expression, and Satsuki's gloating "See, here we go again" expression, revealed the classic expression of an old man using a cell phone on the subway.

He pointed at the still-throwing "himself," his tone filled with disbelief and deep disgust:

"...This...you're telling me this incompletely evolved...ape...who is it?"

Chapter 92 The Rubik's Cube's Family

Chapter 92 The Rubik's Cube's Family

Just as Rubik's Cube was caught up in a brainstorming session about "this brat is actually me from a parallel world," Zuo Yue had already jogged over to the Uchiha Police Force members.

She smiled and chatted with them for a few words, then easily picked up the still-throwing little devil and walked towards Rubik's Cube and the others.

"Let me go! Sister Satsuki! You just said a few days ago that you supported me becoming Hokage! Have you really betrayed me?!"

The little Rubik's Cube waved its arms and legs, trying to struggle.

"Oh dear~ Did I say that?"

Satsuki tilted her head, revealing an innocent yet sly smile, "I don't remember doing that~"

"Sister Zuo, you're such a bad person! You didn't keep your word!"

"what?"

In the midst of the struggle, the little Rubik's Cube finally noticed the two people standing not far away. His gaze swept back and forth between the Rubik's Cube and Naruto, finally settling on the Rubik's Cube in the main world, and he exclaimed in surprise.

"Who's that short, stocky guy over there? He looks so much like Mianma Ge! And that spiky-haired guy next to him... ugh, he looks just like my good-for-nothing dad!"

"Short...shorty?!"

Upon hearing this, Naruto's forehead creased with anger, and he glared through gritted teeth at the little brat who was being carried by Satsuki. The brat looked only seven or eight years old, but had a face that was extremely similar to that of the Rubik's Cube.

At that moment, Rubik's Cube remembered Menma, who had been keeping him in suspense. His face darkened instantly, and he subconsciously glared at Menma, who was trying to keep a straight face but whose lips were already twitching. It was as if he was silently warning him to give him an explanation immediately.

Feeling the Rubik's Cube's cold gaze, Menma immediately coughed and explained:

"Ahem... Cube... he's practically a household name in Konoha as a 'brat.' His parents were both excellent ninjas, but after he was born, they chose to step back and devote most of their energy to this child in order to better take care of their family."

This resulted in him being spoiled almost from a young age, making him extremely unruly. In addition, this kid is indeed exceptionally talented; not only his peers, but many adults also find him difficult to manage.

Mianma paused for a moment, then continued helplessly:

"Originally, although this child was mischievous, he was just a child with boundless energy, and his antics were basically limited to the Uchiha clan's territory. When I was a child, I often saw him causing trouble when I went with my parents to visit Satsuki's parents in the Uchiha clan's territory."

But ever since he entered the Ninja Academy, refined his chakra, and heard from Uncle Obito about his youthful dream of becoming Hokage, he made "becoming Hokage" his goal and began spending his days "fighting for justice" throughout the village, ostensibly to learn from Uncle Obito and help the villagers..."

"As for the result..."

Mianma shrugged.

"This kid's always causing trouble. Every time he tries to 'help,' he makes a complete mess, not helping much at all, but creating a huge mess. But he has indeed achieved his goal; in a sense, he has become a celebrity in Konoha..."

After hearing Mianma's words, Rubik's Cube's face became even more tense. He never imagined that his lifelong reputation would be ruined by a brat, and that this brat was actually himself from a parallel universe?! Adaptation is not random writing, and fiction is not nonsense!

Regardless of the circumstances, for the sake of his own reputation (even though we're from different worlds), this brat needs to be taught a lesson today!

Just as the Rubik's Cube was rubbing its hands together, ready to "teach" this parallel world version of itself a lesson in the harsh realities of society, a slender figure was running anxiously toward them.

With its powerful dynamic vision, the Rubik's Cube instantly recognized the newcomer.

The moment he saw it clearly, he froze on the spot, lost all ability to think, his mind went blank, as if he had been bombed.

She was a woman with long, vibrant red hair, neatly tied into a single ponytail, giving her a capable and energetic appearance. Her face was gentle and innocent, still faintly showing the brightness of her youth, but her emerald eyes held a greater sense of resilience, composure, and the mature charm of a mother than the image in the Rubik's Cube's memory.

Compared to the mother in Rubik's Cube's memory, who was tormented by illness and gradually became haggard, and ultimately passed away when he was eight years old... the woman in front of him was more mature, healthier, and her brows radiated... more happiness.

That was his mother, whom he had lost many years ago... Chino Uzumaki.

The Rubik's Cube stood frozen in place like a stone sculpture, its lips slightly parted but unable to utter a sound. It simply stood there blankly, and the whole world seemed to quiet down, leaving only the figure that was getting closer and closer.

Anxiously searching for her son, Chino's gaze swept across the crowd, noticing the commotion. When she saw her son being held by Satsuki, her eyes instantly lit up, and she quickened her pace, rushing straight over.

"rubik's cube--!"

The woman shouted with a strong voice, her tone clearly filled with anger and worry.

At that moment, as if driven by some instinct, the Rubik's Cube subconsciously, stiffly, and almost inaudibly uttered a word it thought it would never say again:

"Mother……"

However, Chino's target was clearly not him. She took the still-wriggling little brat from Satsuki's hands, hugged him tightly, and examined him from head to toe.

Uchiha Cube, held tightly in his mother's arms, seemed to realize he had caused trouble. He immediately wilted, lowered his head in fear, and spoke in a small, trembling voice:

"mom, Mom, Mom……"

The Rubik's Cube stood quietly to the side, watching this scene unfold.

The afternoon sun shone through the gaps in the leaves, creating a warm halo around the mother and child. Fine dust floated in the air, and the faint sounds of a market could be heard in the distance... All of this created an incredibly heartwarming scene, yet it made his heart ache slightly.

His heart was filled with a complex mix of emotions, a bittersweet blend that he couldn't quite describe. Was it envy? Bitterness? Or a profound sorrow for that fleeting phantom of a memory?

Zhi Nai carefully checked Xiao Mofang's arms and legs, and only after confirming that he was indeed alright did she let out a long, relieved sigh.

"Thank goodness, you're not injured..."

Then, she raised her head and looked at her son, who was trembling in her arms, with a "kind and loving" gaze.

"Wait... Aunt Chino! Calm down, you idiot!"

Satsuki seemed to anticipate what was about to happen and hurriedly tried to stop it.

Uzumaki Menma wore an expression that said "I can't bear to look," and thoughtfully reached out to cover Hinata's eyes, who had an excited expression that said "I'm bored, I want to see a river of blood."

Naruto was still immersed in the "heartwarming" scene of the mother and son's reunion. When he saw Chino holding the Rubik's Cube high, he thought that they were going to have some kind of heartwarming interaction, and even showed a touching smile on his face.

Meanwhile, Rubik's Cube was still immersed in the huge shock and memories, and had not yet fully recovered.

Under the watchful eyes of Menma and Satsuki, who both seemed to think, Chino slammed the terrified Rubik's Cube onto her lap and deftly pulled down his pants.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

The crisp sound of a slap and a bloodcurdling scream instantly echoed throughout the entire street!

"Waaaaah—! Mom, have mercy!!"

Seeing this, members of the Konoha Police Force nearby quickly surrounded them and tried to persuade them:

"Let's talk this out, Sister Zhi Nai! This is the main street of the village, don't be impulsive!"

"That's right! As the saying goes, you shouldn't wash your dirty linen in public! The Uchiha's reputation... although this brat has already ruined most of it, we can still use 'the kid doesn't know any better' to cover it up! We can deal with any punishment at home, not here!"

"That's right! What are you all standing there for? Go and call Obito-nii-san over here!"

"Chino-nee is about to lose her temper again! Stop her!"

"You brat! You sneaked out and caused trouble again! Do you know how worried your parents are?!"

Zhi Nai scolded him angrily as she hit him.

"It's all your father's fault for spoiling you! I told him long ago that his excessive 'incentive education' wouldn't work! But he just wouldn't listen! Now look what's happened! You've become the village's notorious troublemaker at such a young age! When you grow up, won't you tear the whole of Konoha apart?!"

"Ouch! It hurts, Mom! Be gentle! Be gentle!"

The little Rubik's Cube grimaced in pain, but still stubbornly refused to admit it.

"And...and another thing! How could I possibly destroy my own Konoha! I'm going to be the Fifth Hokage of Konoha! The entire Konoha belongs to me...Aaaaaah—!!!"

"I'll teach you to talk nonsense! I'll teach you to talk nonsense! The Fifth Hokage!"

*Smack! Smack! Smack!* ...

Everyone turned their faces away, unable to bear to look.

As the Rubik's Cube watched this chaotic scene, the pained expression on its face, as if saying "I'm tired, let's destroy it," gradually faded, replaced by a strange sense of relief.

'In the end... they're just people who look similar, but are completely different.'

He sighed softly. Was it because he missed her too much that he made such a basic mistake? He had even secretly mocked Kakashi for eating meal replacements back then, but now that he thought about it, he was actually not as good as Kakashi. At least Kakashi ate half of the right thing.

Just as he had adjusted his mindset and was preparing to speak to the "mother" in a relatively calm manner...

In the distance, a hurried and loud male voice came:

"Chino! Wait! Spare his life!"
