I Punch the Tailed Beast Ball - Chapter 364

In the dark corridor, Obito calmly watched as Kisame left.

After a while, Zetsu emerged from the ground with a mischievous smile. “It’s quite rare to see you revealing your true face. It seems you have high expectations for that guy named Kisame.”

Obito glanced at Zetsu and calmly said, “I understand people like him. They see through the lies of this false world. Like a drowning person, they’ll desperately try to grasp the slightest chance to reach the real world. He will become a capable subordinate, so he deserved to know to some extent.”

“In a few days, I’ll classify him as an S-rank missing-nin. At that time, you can take him to Akatsuki and make him an official member,” Obito continued.

“No problem. With this, Akatsuki is officially on the move,” Zetsu nodded.

“By the way, you should take care of your red pet. She’s quite a handful. She tries to sneak away. It will be pretty amusing if she can actually get away.” 

“This is Kirigakure. Even if she grows wings, she won’t be able to fly away,” Obito said indifferently.

The red pet Zetsu referred to was obviously Honoka.

Obito didn’t plan to absorb Kekkei Genkai one by one like Hiruko did. Instead, he intended to gather Uzumaki and Hyuga Kekkei Genkai and absorb them at once. If it didn’t achieve the expected results, he would consider absorbing Kaguya Clan’s Kekkei Genkai as well.

To ensure a smooth absorption process, Obito treated Honoka well, providing her with good food and drink, and instructing her to practice diligently. However, he didn’t allow her to leave.

So, Zetsu jokingly referred to her as a pet.

Even though Obito believed that with Honoka’s current strength, she couldn’t escape from the underground space and leave Kirigakure, he still headed towards her room to check on her.

On the way, Obito pondered how to obtain a Hyuga with a pure Byakugan.

Sharingan was the embodiment of Uchiha Clan. The stronger the Sharingan was, the stronger the bloodline was. The same went for Hyuga Clan. The stronger the Byakugan, the more excellent the bloodline and the closer it would be to the original Otsutsuki bloodline.

The ideal choice would be a member of the Hyuga main family, but it was too difficult. So, Obito planned to target a high-ranking Jonin from Hyuga Clan branch family.

Even if it was not as ideal as the main family, achieving Jonin rank indicated outstanding talent, and the purity of the Byakugan would be guaranteed.

However, capturing a high-ranking Jonin from Hyuga Clan was not easy. They rarely went on foreign missions, mainly focusing on guarding the village due to Byakugan’s unique abilities. Obito had no choice but to wait for White Zetsu to obtain information if there was any Hyuga Clan member who would go on a mission.

He had a lot of time, so he opted for a more cautious approach instead of recklessly going to Konoha.

The basement was in a small forest in Kirigakure, protected by a layer of barriers that prevented unauthorized entry.

Even though Obito was decent in Barrier Technique, he preferred to use Kamui to travel.

As Obito activated Kamui to enter Kamui Dimension, he frowned. Several black garbage bags were scattered on the ground.

Annoyed, Obito tossed the garbage bags away and used Kamui to enter the basement.

For some reason, some random stuff would appear in Kamui dimension recently. Initially, it was a sink, then sometimes a random Ninjutsu.

Obito appeared in the basement and discovered that was banging the door with a chair.

The two locked eyes and the atmosphere became awkward and silent.

Honoka silently put down the chair and hid it behind her, though she wasn’t big enough to conceal chair.

“This is a p-p-popular post-meal exercise in my hometown,” Honoka stammered as she was flustered when Obito looked at her with his red Sharingan. She herself even doubted the credibility of her own words and instantly regretted it.

‘Oh no, I’m done for. He’s definitely going to think I’m making a fool out of him, and I might even get killed if not worse.’

“Sob, please don’t kill me. I’m not attractive, and my chest isn’t big. I can eat, though. I’m just a useless person. Can you just let me go?” Honoka put down the chair and crouched down, unable to bring herself to look at Obito.

Obito: …

It seemed this woman’s imagination was too wild.

“Don’t even think about running away from here. I’ve set up barriers, and you won’t be able to escape,” Obito said indifferently.

Hearing Obito’s words, Honoka mustered her courage to open her eyes and looked at him. She found that Obito didn’t seem angry and appeared indifferent to what she just did.

“What do you want by keeping me here? If you want me to work for you, I won’t refuse. I don’t need much salary; just let me out. I’m well-versed in Sealing Technique. I can definitely help you,” Honoka offered.

“Hehe, you want a salary?” Obito chuckled. “You’re quite brave for someone in your situation.”

Seeing Obito’s Sharingan, Honoka felt a bit scared and stepped back, pressing her body against the cold iron door and said, “Uuhh, I’m fine if you don’t pay me, but you’ll at least give me food, right?”

“Heh,” Obito sneered.

“Don’t let me catch you trying to escape again if you don’t want to be under Genjutsu’s effect all the time. “ Obito said before disappearing in front of Honoka.

“Phew.” Seeing Obito vanish, the tense Honoka slumped to the ground with a distressed look on her face.

Was she really going to die this time? It was too much. Even her parents managed to live until they were at least thirty-two, and she was only seventeen. Was this how it ends?

As these thoughts overwhelmed her, Honoka felt an overwhelming sense of sorrow. She walked over to the table where Obito had placed the food he bought for her.

Honoka turned her sorrow into an appetite and wolfed down the food.

Since she was going to die anyway, it didn’t matter if she gained or lost weight. There was no need to worry about eating too many sweets, which was bad for health.

“Damn it, I’ll eat all of your food and leave you bankrupt.” Filled with resentment, Honoka started her personal revenge against the masked man.
