5 Chapter 5

"En?"

Uchiha Tsuki, with his strong reaction ability, could have easily avoided the collision even if someone intentionally tried to hit him. However, due to his mother holding his hand, he couldn't dodge the impact and almost fell to the ground.

Although the person who bumped into Uchiha Tsuki apologized, he couldn't help but frown and look at the person.

But as soon as Uchiha Tsuki's gaze fell on the person, he was suddenly surprised.

The one who had collided with him turned out to be a well-known character from the original Naruto series—Uchiha Obito, who shared his Sharingan with Hatake Kakashi!

"No wonder, it's him."

Seeing the familiar character, Uchiha Tsuki felt a sense of disbelief. After all, this was the first time he had encountered a familiar character since transmigrating to the Naruto world four years ago. Uchiha Tsuki rarely left the house during that time due to the cold treatment from his father, Uchiha Naraku, and even the Uchiha Clan, let alone meeting characters from the original plot.

This was why Uchiha Tsuki was eager to meet Hatake Kakashi and encounter Uchiha Obito here.

Since Uchiha Obito was a familiar character, Uchiha Tsuki didn't have any trouble recognizing him, especially with his mother, Minako, by his side.

When Uchiha Obito apologized, Uchiha Tsuki smiled and nodded, saying, "It's alright. You should hurry and not be late."

"Yeah! I forgot about that!"

Understanding Uchiha Tsuki's words, Uchiha Obito scratched his nose in embarrassment and realized he was running late. He was about to hurry off when Uchiha Tsuki's mother, Minako, suddenly spoke up, saying, "If I'm not mistaken, you must also be a student at the Academy, right? Don't worry, my Raito is going to report to the Academy too. The reporting time is nine o'clock, and it's only half-past eight now, so there's still time."

"Phew, it's only half-past eight!"

Uchiha Obito breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Minako's words, and he relaxed.

Then, just as Uchiha Obito was about to leave in a hurry, Minako laughed and said, "By the way, if I'm not mistaken, you called the pretty lady 'elder sister,' right? Are you Uchiha Tsuki, the genius known within the clan?!"

"If the genius you mentioned is Uchiha Tsuki, then yes, it's him."

Before Uchiha Tsuki could respond to Uchiha Obito, Minako spoke up, "But according to seniority, you should call me 'Aunt.' Raito here is actually older than you by just a month! Anyway, I won't keep you any longer."

With that, Minako let go of Uchiha Tsuki's hand and said in a serious tone before leaving, "Raito, remember not to be late!"

"Understood, Mother."

Watching his mother, Minako, turn and walk back into the house, Uchiha Tsuki silently laughed and then shifted his gaze back to Uchiha Obito.

At this moment, Uchiha Tsuki understood his mother's intentions and knew that she wanted him to become friends with Uchiha Obito. Due to Uchiha Naraku's cold treatment and the status of Uchiha Madara's bloodline, Uchiha Tsuki had no friends his age in Konoha. Moreover, being an adult in a child's body, Uchiha Tsuki's solitary nature made it difficult for him to make true friends.

Now, with Uchiha Obito's appearance, it provided Minako with an opportunity.

So Minako planned for Uchiha Tsuki and Uchiha Obito to go to the Academy together and become friends.

Understanding his mother's intentions, Uchiha Tsuki couldn't let her down, and he was genuinely interested in Uchiha Obito.

In the Naruto series, Uchiha Obito may only appear in Hatake Kakashi's memories during the early stages, but in the later stages of the manga, who wouldn't know Uchiha Obito's name?

As the successor to Uchiha Madara and the executor of the "Eye of the Moon" Plan, Uchiha Obito was undoubtedly one of the significant figures in the Naruto world.

However, the current Uchiha Obito was still young and inexperienced, especially in front of Uchiha Tsuki. He seemed somewhat awkward and at a loss for words.

Uchiha Tsuki understood the reason behind Uchiha Obito's behavior.

In Konoha, strength and seniority were highly regarded. Uchiha Tsuki, being hailed as a genius within the Uchiha Clan, naturally put some pressure on Uchiha Obito. But after a brief moment of surprise, Uchiha Obito started to warm up to Uchiha Tsuki.

"Raito, you seem busy. What do you do every day?" Uchiha Obito asked.

"I train every day. How about you?"

"Me?!"

Upon hearing Uchiha Tsuki's question, Uchiha Obito proudly puffed up his chest and said, "I train all the time! Don't underestimate me just because I'm not strong yet. Sooner or later, I'll lead the Uchiha Clan to become the strongest in Konoha! And when I become Hokage, I'll bring peace to the entire ninja world and end all wars!"

After a few words, Uchiha Obito playfully put his arm around Uchiha Tsuki's shoulder, as if they had been friends for a long time.

Even Uchiha Tsuki, who had experienced both worlds, couldn't help but feel a bit amazed. Uchiha Obito was indeed a familiar person, and he wondered how long it would take for him to become familiar with himself.

While Uchiha Obito was talking, his gaze once again shifted to Uchiha Tsuki as he asked, "Raito, what are your hobbies?"

"My hobbies..."

Before Uchiha Tsuki could answer, Uchiha Obito interjected, "Oh, your hobbies sound boring. My hobbies are much more meaningful! I like to help elderly people cross the road when I have free time. By doing good deeds, people with a kind heart like me will eventually be recognized by everyone in the village. Then, I can become Hokage!"

Saying that, Uchiha Obito suddenly noticed a woman nearby and patted Uchiha Tsuki's shoulder, saying, "Raito, I'm going to help that lady. Remember to wait for me!"

Before Uchiha Tsuki could respond, Uchiha Obito quickly left to assist the woman.

Standing in Uchiha Tsuki's place, Uchiha Obito, the warm-hearted young boy, couldn't help but feel that destiny was sometimes incredibly unpredictable.

The warm-hearted Uchiha Obito would eventually become one of the deadliest members of the "Akatsuki" organization, and destiny played a cruel trick on him.

However...

Now that Uchiha Tsuki had transmigrated into the world of Naruto, could he change Uchiha Obito's tragic fate?

Uchiha Tsuki looked at Uchiha Obito, who was heading back to his apartment, and a glimmer of determination flashed in his eyes.

"When I have enough strength, I will change your destiny, Obito."
