Naruto: I, Uchiha Obito, will never be a slave

"But...I went out today and didn't bring much money..."

Hearing Obito's words, the boss was stunned for a moment.

But he immediately waved his hand and said: "Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't have enough money. The masks are not very expensive anyway. It's whatever you have. Just show your mind."

Obito was embarrassed...

"I mean, I forgot to bring money when I went out today, so I don't have any money on me."

The boss was a little dumbfounded, and his originally sentimental and heroic expression immediately turned suspicious.

He glanced at Obito suspiciously.

The other party still had that dull expression.

It's as if saying embarrassing things like having no money is a natural and very ordinary thing.

The middle-aged man looked down at the mask in Obito's hand, then glanced at Obito again, and opened his mouth not knowing what to say.

Seeing the boss's appearance, Obito explained calmly:

"These two masks may have some special meaning to me. If you believe me, I can get the money tomorrow."

The boss looked at Obito's calm eyes and couldn't detect any hint of guilt or panic on his part. Instead, he felt a sense of honesty and respect for himself.

After hesitating for a while, he asked:

"Can I ask why you are so obsessed with these two masks? In fact, they only have right eyes and do not suit you."

Obito first glanced at the mirror opposite.

I saw that Kushina and Lin were still behind me at this time, but I didn't know what they were talking about.

Then he pondered for a moment.

Naturally, Obito would not tell his boss the real reason why he was interested in these two masks.

And even if you say it, the other party may not believe it.

"I have a friend......."

Obito thought for a while, and finally spoke calmly, without any pause, as if he was narrating his own story.

"He lost his left eye in the war to protect his companions. Like you, he only has his right eye left. These two masks are just right for him."

After hearing Obito's narration, the middle-aged boss's first reaction was that it was a very simple and vulgar story.

And it's most likely made up.

But when he met Obito's calm and serious eyes, he suddenly understood.

Without empathy for the pain, it is impossible to understand other people's situations and emotions.

In the eyes of others, the despair, the pain, and the hard work I had experienced were just a vulgar story that had nothing to do with them.

At this moment, the middle-aged boss seemed to read something from Obito's eyes.

He somewhat understood Obito's calmness and indifference, as well as the frankness and respect beneath that calmness.

He realized that Obito might actually feel his pain and despair, and that in a sense, they were the same kind of people.

Seeing his boss standing there without any expression, Obito sighed slightly in his heart.

Then he reached out and prepared to put the mask back on the stall.

At this moment, the stall owner suddenly blocked his hand and pushed his hand back.

Obito raised his head and looked at the boss, finding that he had already turned around and started cleaning up the stall.

The boss no longer cared about Obito and stopped looking at him, but slowly put away his stall.

During this period, he kept mumbling something, his tone seemed a little shy, a little embarrassed...

"I'm the last customer tonight. It's fate that I met you. If you like that thing, just take it..."

Obito looked at the boss calmly.

Feeling his kindness and kindness, as well as the ordinaryness and uniqueness under his ordinary appearance.

It wasn't until the middle-aged boss disappeared from the street corner pushing the stall cart that he opened his mouth and said in a voice that he could only hear:

"Thank you!"

After carefully placing the mask in his arms, Obito once again observed Kushina and Lin behind him through the reflection of the glass on the opposite side.

The two of them were still standing at the opposite intersection, seemingly still communicating.

This made Obito feel very strange.

He spent a few minutes talking to the stall owner.

If he hadn't seen those two masks, Obito wouldn't have stayed here for one more second.

After all, one more second of waiting means one more risk of exposure.

Fortunately, there were still some pedestrians coming and going on the roadside, and Kushina and Lin were still relatively far away from him. His communication with the stall owner could also be used as a pretense of buying a mask, and as a cover-up.

Now that the stall owner has left, the risk of exposure will be even greater if he continues to stay.

So, Obito no longer hesitated, raised his feet and walked in one direction, preparing to leave this place where people were monitoring him.

But just as he took two steps, a clear voice sounded behind him:

"With soil!"

In an instant, Obito's pupils suddenly widened, and even his body stiffened slightly.

But he reacted quickly, without any hesitation or pause in his body movements, and continued walking in his original direction.

But soon, a sound of trotting passed behind him, accompanied by a closer and clearer voice:

"With soil!"

It was Lin's voice, shouting towards him.

Moreover, she is right behind him!

Obito stopped and stood there.

At this time, sweat broke out on his head.

For a moment, joy flashed through his heart, but more importantly, there was panic.

Obito let out a breath, hesitated for a moment, and finally turned around slowly.
