Naruto: Transmigrated as Obito with the System

Obito was still too naïve.

In the ninja world, there were countless ways to deliver information.

Perhaps the remaining Iwagakure forces didn't have time to fully record Obito's abilities and send them back to the Land of Earth.

But spreading just a name? That was easy enough.

Minato extended his hand toward Obito with a warm smile.

"Come on, Obito, let's go home."

Obito grasped Minato's hand and nodded firmly.

"Mm!"

In the blink of an eye, Minato teleported, taking Obito to where Kakashi and the others were.

"Minato-sensei!"

"…Obito-kun!"

Rin burst into tears the moment she saw Obito.

"Don't cry, Rin! See? I'm back!"

Rin, sobbing, was about to throw herself into Obito's arms, but he quickly waved her off.

"Rin, don't hug me! I'm covered in blood!"

He scratched his head sheepishly.

"I tried wiping some off on Minato-sensei earlier, but… uh…"

Before he could finish, Rin had already thrown her arms around him.

"(╥╯^╰╥) Do you even know how worried I was?!"

Obito froze, awkward and helpless.

"Rin, don't cry! I promise I won't make you worry again!"

After a while, Rin finally let him go, and Obito sighed in relief.

But the next second, Kakashi grabbed him, leaning close to whisper gravely,

"Next time, I won't leave you behind. Whatever it is, we'll face it together."

Then he released Obito.

Shikayu followed, pulling Obito into a firm hug and patting his back.

"It's good to have you back. I've already lost one friend today—I didn't want to lose another."

After a moment, Shikayu stepped back.

Obito, arms still raised, turned to look at Ryoko.

Alright, just waiting on you now.

Ryoko hesitated.

While she was thrilled Obito had returned alive, she hadn't planned on hugging him.

But thinking about all he had sacrificed for them today, she stepped forward and hugged him.

Whoa!

Ryoko's... size startled Obito into silence.

Flustered, she let go and ran off, her face flushed.

Minato stood nearby, watching with a gentle smile.

Once everyone had their moment, he spoke.

"Let's head back to Konoha!"

"Yeah!"

On the way back, Shikayu broke the silence.

"Minato-senpai, what do you think will happen next in this war?"

Minato pondered for a moment before replying.

"Iwagakure was already at a disadvantage on the frontlines. Now that their supply lines are destroyed… this war won't last much longer. Konoha will soon claim victory."

Rin sighed with relief.

"That's wonderful."

Her kind heart hated war and violence.

Obito glanced at Rin, his resolve hardening.

Even if it's just for her, I'll rebuild this world.

Minato turned to the group.

"Konoha's victory is thanks to all of you, including Nagano. The sacrifices you've made are not in vain."

Kakashi nodded silently, thoughts of his father surfacing.

Father, if you were still here, I hope you'd be proud of me.

As for Ryoko…

Huh? Who was Ryoko again?

Minato and the others walked ahead, giving the two younger ones space to themselves.

Rin held Obito's hand, asking uncertainly,

"Obito, is there something wrong with your eyes? I noticed you squinting several times while looking at things."

Her words made the group turn back, curiosity etched on their faces.

Obito's heart sank, but outwardly, he scratched his head nonchalantly.

"Maybe I've just overused my Sharingan. My eyes feel a bit tired, but I'll be fine after some rest."

Rin tilted her head in understanding.

"Oh, I see… as long as you're okay."

Seeing no suspicion from the others, Obito turned his focus inward, examining his eyesight.

Without Rin's comment, he might not have noticed—he was nearsighted!

Judging by his previous life's experience, it was only mild, but enough to be annoying.

What the heck?

Weren't Hashirama's cells supposed to fix everything?

Baffled, he mentally called out to the system.

"Hey, System Bro, care to explain why I'm still nearsighted?"

The system chimed in his mind.

Ding!

"Your current level of Hashirama cell integration is still at the lowest stage. Frequent use of ocular jutsu still strains your eyes, leading to nearsightedness."

Obito: "???"

"You could've mentioned that earlier!"

System: ╮(╯▽╰)╭You never asked bro.╮(╯▽╰)╭ You never asked, bro.╮(╯▽╰)╭You never asked bro.

Obito: "…"

Taking a deep breath to calm himself, he asked,

"So, what's my current development stage?"

Ding!

Naturally, this system delivers! Here's the breakdown:

The system projected a glowing screen in front of him.

[Overview: Hashirama Cell Development Stages]

Stage One: Reduces Kamui's physical toll. Grants access to basic Wood Release.

Stage Two: Significantly reduces Kamui's toll. Grants access to mid-level Wood Release.

Stage Three: Completely eliminates Kamui's toll. Grants access to advanced Wood Release.

Stage Four: Unlocks Hashirama's full Wood Release capabilities and the user's unique Rinnegan.

Obito: "!!!"

"Holy crap, System Daddy, you're forgiven!"

Seeing the fourth stage description nearly made him drool.

Rinnegan—the ultimate eye, surpassing even the Sharingan.

And Hashirama's Wood Release? If he could wield it, he could tame tailed beasts with one hand!

He imagined himself slamming a tailed beast to the ground.

"Your power is too great."

Boom! One-handed, pinning the Nine-Tails effortlessly.

Or summoning a giant wooden golem to dominate the battlefield.
