Naruto: My and Obito's mutual redemption

After Yu Yan finished his work, Obito also helped Kenta get his equipment. Although they looked like they were wrapped up like dumplings now, it wouldn't be an exaggeration when they got there.

With Shenwei's fast movement, this distance is not too far...

When Obito emerged from the Kamui space, an extremely cold air blew across his cheek.

"Wow!! Why is it so cold?! And why is it dark..." Obito shivered and squatted on the ground, curled up into a ball.

This is the Arctic, a place synonymous with cold. It is covered with thick ice all year round, with biting winds and extremely low temperatures. At a glance, there is an endless white ice field.

Yu Yan observed the surrounding environment, analyzed his position, and said thoughtfully: "We are still a little bit away. We are only just outside the Arctic Circle..."

Just as a few people were looking around curiously, Banjian discovered something unusual.

"Look! There seems to be a light over there..."

The snow and fog blurred the air, and I couldn't see the environment in the distance clearly. I could only vaguely see dots of light in the distance in the haze.

Looking in the direction Banjian pointed, Yu Yan was a little surprised: "Huh? There are people living here?"

Just because others can’t see clearly doesn’t mean Yu Yan can’t see clearly... The soul power spread in one direction, and in the field of vision, low wooden houses were crowded together, and warm light was emanating from the interior of the houses.

"Ayu... let's go back! It's too cold here!" Obito hugged Genichiro and Kenta tightly, one in each hand, trying to squeeze together to share body temperature.

Seeing Obito like this, Yuyan couldn't help but laugh: "Hehe, see, these clothes are not redundant at all, it wouldn't be excessive to wear more."

"Anyway, let's go over and take a look first. Besides, we came at a very unfortunate time, as the weather here is a bit bad..." Yu Yan pulled the reluctant Tu Zi, and the few of them slowly walked towards the bright light in the distance.

Obito held Yuyan's hand, feeling a little surprised... He thought he was already very cold, and was afraid of the cold, but Yuyan's hand... was even colder than his. Obito, who had been complaining about being cold, now stopped, silently opened his palm, and held Yuyan's entire hand in his palm.

Yu Yan looked at this remote village and felt a little emotional... Even in this far north, there are humans living there.

"咚咚-"

Several people knocked on one of the doors hesitantly, waiting for a response from inside the room. However, to their surprise, there was no movement after a long while.

Unwilling to give up, Tuzi ran to another door and knocked, but the result was the same, no one answered.

"Ayu...what's going on? Is there no one in the house?" Obito was full of questions. Could he have fallen asleep? The light was still on in the room.

Yu Yan shook his head, also confused.

"No, there is someone in the house, but it seems that he doesn't want to open the door..."

In Yu Yan's perception, there was indeed someone in the house, but they didn't seem to have any intention of approaching the door. This was very strange... Was there some special custom here?

Seeing Obito trying to knock on the door again, Banma interrupted him and said, "Since they won't open the door, we can't force our way in... And what if this is some special custom of theirs..."

"That's right. Forget about opening the door. Let's take a break and then go to the Pole to have a look..." Yu Yan patted the falling snow on his head and walked to an open place to observe... "This place is not bad!"

Yu Yan nodded, clasped his hands together and slapped them on the ground... As chakra poured into the ground, a small wooden house that looked no different from the other houses nearby suddenly rose from the ground.

"Okay, let's go inside! It's freezing outside..."

Except for Genichirō, everyone else seemed to be used to it and walked in directly. However, there was an inexplicable look in Genichirō's eyes... It seemed to be surprise, or admiration...

A pit was dug in the center of the wooden house. Yu Yan lit a fire and sat down next to it.

"It's so cold... When the weather gets better, we'll go north and have a look..."

"Ah? Are you still going..."

Obito collapsed to the ground instantly. The cold wind outside just now was really unbearable for a human being. If he went further north... wouldn't he be frozen into an ice sculpture?

Yuyan moved to Obito's side and gently pinched his face, grinning: "Don't you want to go? That's the end of the world. Don't you want to accompany me to the end of the world?"

"The end of the world...?"

Obito lay on the wooden floor and looked at Yuyan's expectant eyes. The big blue eyes were full of longing, which made Obito a little hard to refuse.

"Okay...I'll come with you!"

"Haha, that's right. In fact, it wouldn't be so cold if the weather was better..." Yu Yan squatted in front of the fire and suddenly thought of a legend about the Arctic. He waved his hand and said, "Come around! I'll tell you a story. Tuzi, bring out some food!"

A few of them moved to Yu Yan with some curiosity. Tell a story? Although it sounds a bit childish, if Yu Yan wanted to tell a story...it seemed like they had never seen it before.

......

"In the legend of the North, the reason why the Arctic winter is shrouded in darkness is because there exists a mysterious creature here... No one has ever seen what it looks like, and no one dares to look for it."

"According to records, this creature has existed for tens of thousands of years, even before the formation of the Ninja World..."

Obito shuddered when he heard Yuyan's words, and asked doubtfully, "Tens of thousands of years? What kind of thing would be able to live that long...?"

"Oh, don't interrupt... Every winter, the entire Far North will enter a state of extreme darkness. The sun will not rise for several months until the spring of the following year, when light will be seen again... In other words, the darkness outside the house now means that we have entered this area..."

"hiss..."

Kenta was a little scared when he heard this, and he leaned towards Gengichiro who was sitting next to him. Gengichiro had no idea and didn't understand much, so he didn't take it too seriously.

Yu Yan poked the fire with a branch and continued in a quiet voice, "It is said that the people here will not go out throughout the winter, because if they stay outside for too long, they will be devoured by the mysterious creature. Moreover, it can change into various forms, imitating people in distress, to trick the residents living here into opening the door, and then..."

"Then...?"

"It sneaks into other people's homes and eats them when they are least prepared... Then, it changes into the appearance of the person it has eaten and blends into the lives of ordinary people, waiting for the next night... When everyone has been eaten by it, it will even imitate the people in the village, creating the illusion that there are still people living here."

Hearing Yuyan's sinister tone, Obito hugged Itama tightly beside him, and curled up into a ball. Kenta was not much better... He also hugged Genichiro beside him and kept swallowing his saliva.

"So no one opened the door for us just now, maybe it was because of this horror legend... Of course, it is also possible that the monster disguised himself as a villager here, pretending that this place is still the same as before..."

Just as Yu Yan said this, the door of their cabin was suddenly knocked.

“…Dongdong——”

"Wow!!!"

Obito immediately shot up, his Sharingan opened. He was looking at the door with a horrified look on his face, and quickly took out a weapon. Although he was afraid, he still stood in front of the few people.

Banjian didn't believe it at first...but the sudden knock on the door and the unclear strange sound outside the house made him start to get scared.

Obito stared at the door vigilantly, but the knocking sound had stopped. The vague shouting outside the house also gradually faded away...

"Ah...Ayu...what happened just now couldn't be..." Obito turned his head slightly and looked at Yuyan with fear.

But it would have been better if he hadn't looked. This one glance immediately broke Obito's defense... because he saw an extremely frightened expression on Yuyan's face.

But before Obito turned around, a sharp sound of the door opening was heard...

"Crack-"

"..."

Obito's neck froze as he was about to twist his head... The door opened? Who opened the door? Could it be...

The cold wind outside blew into the house, and the flames in the fire began to sway, shadows danced on the wall, and even the light dimmed a little.

"Gudu——"

Obito swallowed, turned his neck stiffly, and looked towards the door again.

The door was opened a crack, and snow and wind were already slipping in through the crack... It stayed like this for a few seconds, and Obito's nervousness had reached its peak!

Itama had shrunk to Yuyan's side, and Genichiro was also pulled by Kenta to shrink behind him. They all stared at the crack in the door...

"Bang!!!"

The door was opened instantly, and a tall, black ghost appeared in the sight of several people. The light outside the house was dim, and they could not see clearly what it was.

"Wa ...

Obito immediately drew his sword, and the Kamui was activated instantly. The speed of the seals on his hands was almost enough to leave an afterimage. Just as the attack was about to be thrown, the shadow suddenly rushed over...

"Wow! It's coming!"

Kenta has buried his entire face in Genichiro's neck, making him blush. Compared to the others' fear, Genichiro doesn't seem to get the point of being scared...

"Bang!"

As the sound of something falling to the ground was heard, Obito finally saw clearly what was rushing towards him... He was completely frozen at this moment, because lying on the ground in front of him was the same fur coat he was wearing... There was also a wooden stick under the clothes.

"Hahaha! Are you scared, Obito?!"

As a familiar laugh sounded, a figure suddenly jumped out of the door, and Obito was completely stunned...

"Yuyan...you!" No matter how stupid Obito was, he knew that he had been fooled by Yuyan's shadow clone trick.

Yu Yan, who was sitting in the house, immediately threw away his acting skills and lay on the ground laughing. The other "Yu Yan", who was dressed as a ghost, had already turned into a puff of white smoke and disappeared.

Obito was so angry and embarrassed when he found out that he was tricked that he almost cried. He was so worried and scared... but he was tricked by Yuyan's prank!

"Hahaha... Eh? Tsuchi, don't cry, I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Realizing that the joke was a bit too much, Yuyan immediately got up and walked to Obito, hugged him, and kept saying sorry.

At this time, Itama heaved a sigh of relief, looking speechless. Kenta blushed and let go of Genichiro. It seemed that he had been too close to him just now... They were not very familiar with each other!

Feeling that Yuyan's body temperature was very low, Obito no longer had the mood to be angry. The shadow clone had just been sitting outside the house for so long, and now the feeling was transmitted back to the main body, instantly lowering Yuyan's body temperature by several degrees.

"Ayu...your hands are so cold."

"Ah...it's okay, please forgive me first!"

Although Yuyan said it was okay, Obito seemed not to hear it. He grabbed Yuyan's wrist, opened his clothes without hesitation, held his palm, and put it directly on his lower abdomen...

"Wow! It's so cool..."

"Tuzi you..."

Yu Yan's heart trembled, and he felt the super warm body temperature of Obito, and he couldn't help but blame himself. At this time, he couldn't say a word, and the temperature of his palm was gradually warming up...
