In the hot spring, Kiyosuke, Asuma, Obito, and Kakashi had towels on their heads and were soaking in the hot spring. Obito let out a lazy sigh of relief.
"This is so comfortable. Compared with the hot springs in Konoha, the ones in the Land of Hot Water are more comfortable!"
Wispy wisps of hot air rose from the hot spring, forming a hazy, dream - like water mist. The four of them were soaking in the hot spring. Kiyosuke looked at Kakashi, whose face was wrapped in a towel, and asked, "Kakashi, why do you cover your face even when soaking in the hot spring?"
He was very curious about Kakashi's face. He knew Kakashi was handsome, but he wasn't sure exactly how good - looking he was in person.
Obito snickered. "Could it be that you have buckteeth or thick lips? You're too ashamed to show your face, haha!"
"Boring!"
Kakashi stared at Obito with his dead - fish eyes. However, he still took off the hot towel wrapped around his face. It was just because he felt hot.
Behind the hot towel was a handsome face. In the future, he would undoubtedly be a heart - throb. There was a beauty mark slightly below the corner of his mouth. With a cold face, he would probably be even more handsome if he smiled.
"L - Lies!?"
Obito shrieked. "You must be using a Transformation Jutsu. You can't be this handsome!"
"Yeah, he's really handsome. Almost on par with me!" Kiyosuke stroked his chin. I'm so good - looking, and in Konoha, only Kakashi can compare with me.
"Humph! He's still not as handsome as me!" Obito accepted the reality but still stubbornly refused to admit defeat. Fortunately, this guy wears a mask all day. Otherwise, I'd be completely outshined in front of Rin!
Asuma nodded in agreement. "He's almost as handsome as me!"
No! You Sarutobi clan all have faces that look quite mature. Don't be so delusional. When you grow a beard, the Sarutobi clan genes will become more prominent.
Kiyosuke and Obito looked at him. Asuma felt their gazes and his face turned red. "What are you looking at? What do you mean?"
"Nothing."
"I just think you're shameless!" Obito said with a laugh.
"Damn it! You're the shameless one!" Asuma lunged at Obito, and the two started fooling around in the hot spring.
Kiyosuke and Kakashi silently moved aside and watched the two of them making a ruckus.
Suddenly, Kakashi asked, "Hey, Asakawa, the Fire Release you used before was released from your hand. Is it a special ninjutsu?" He was interested in Kiyosuke's way of releasing Fire Release from his hand.
"Oh, this. It's a Kekkei Genkai of my clan. It hadn't awakened for many generations, but it suddenly awakened in me. It allows my body to turn into flames, similar to the Hydrification Secret Technique of the Hozuki clan in Kirigakure."
He raised one hand, and a fierce flame was burning on it.
Fortunately, the Devil Fruit has been localized, and there's no curse of the sea. Otherwise, just taking a bath at home could kill me.
If word got out that I drowned myself while taking a bath at home, my reputation would be completely ruined.
"Is there such a Kekkei Genkai? It's really unique." Kakashi also knew he might have crossed the line with his question and nodded, indicating that he would stop.
Meanwhile, Asuma and Obito started splashing water at each other, drenching the two on the side. Kiyosuke threw off the towel on his head and joined the battle. "You two are courting death!"
"So naive!"
Kakashi shook his head, feeling this place wasn't suitable for him. He decided to get out of the hot spring. Before he could climb out, Obito pulled him back in, and the four of them got into a scuffle.
After fooling around for a while, the four stopped. Obito and Asuma sneaked over to the partition. On the other side was the women's hot spring, where Kurenai and Rin were taking a bath.
"..." Kakashi.
"..." Kiyosuke.
What's so interesting about little girls? There are no beautiful big sisters on the other side!
So, kids are just kids. At least, it won't be worth looking until ten, no, five years later!
"Aren't you going?" Kakashi looked at Kiyosuke and asked.
"Who do you think I am! Do you think I'm like those two scoundrels?" Kiyosuke said indignantly, pointing at Obito and Asuma. "I've never seen such shameless people! And now I see two of them at once!"
At this moment, he felt like a giant!
"Oh, you're much more noble than them." Kakashi thought it was rare to have such a "normal" classmate.
Kiyosuke said seriously, "Of course. Although Kurenai and Rin are cute, their figures aren't developed yet. Peeking at them now is meaningless!"
"..." Kakashi.
Can I take back what I just said?
You're the most abnormal one!
After fooling around for a while, they got up and prepared to stroll around the streets.
They changed their clothes and strolled around the street, feeling refreshed.
Obito and Asuma, like two sycophants, followed the two girls around. Kakashi slipped away alone, and Kiyosuke used the Transformation Jutsu to enter a gambling house.
As the saying goes, a man can't get rich without windfalls, and a horse can't get fat without extra fodder at night. The money he earned from missions was all spent on ninja tools. Exploding tags were extremely expensive. Besides, they didn't earn much from D - rank missions. Now, he wanted to find a way to make some money!
As soon as he entered the gambling house, he saw a group of people gathered around one table. That was the only gambling table in the whole place.
A group of people were gambling against one person.
It wasn't that this one person was winning all the time. Instead, the group of people were making a fortune!
The legendary big "fat sheep"!
Big in every sense!
Goodness!
He subconsciously touched his nose. It wasn't that bad, but it seemed a bit itchy. Was this body reaching its puberty?
"This hand, I bet on big!"
A blond girl with double ponytails slapped the table and placed her bet. There was a jiggling of... assets!
Are they really that bouncy?
"We bet on small!"
Everyone placed their bets together.
The legendary big "fat sheep". It would be a waste not to take advantage of her. This opportunity might never come again!
"Small!"
The "fat sheep" refused to admit defeat and continued to bet. "Again!"
Beside her, a little girl said pitifully, "Lady Tsunade, we really can't afford to lose anymore!"
"Don't worry! Shizune, I'm sure I can turn things around this time! You have to trust me!" Tsunade had one of the three great illusions in life: I can turn the tables!
"This hand, I bet on small!"
Seeing this, Kiyosuke took out his last savings from doing missions, fifty thousand ryo, from his wallet.
"Count me in! I bet on big!"
"What a generous bet!"
"Haha! We also bet on big! Just because this young man is so generous!"
"Right! Bet on big!"
"Open! Big!"
His principal doubled. He continued to bet all his money.
Finally, the "fat sheep" wasn't "fat" anymore, but Kiyosuke's wallet was bulging.
Looking at his stuffed wallet, was this what it felt like to be rich?
The "fat sheep" had no money left, and everyone returned to the initial situation, gambling separately.
Kiyosuke decided to quit while he was ahead and slipped away.
Just as he passed an alley, a ruthless hand pulled him in.
"Woo! Help! Someone is abducting a handsome young boy in broad daylight!!"
