Itachi Uchiha
It seemed like everyone had forgotten Itachi's unique power to experience the future as an illusion, mentioned in chapter 4.
"I always do whatever I want," Itachi said, heading towards a fancy house in Beverly Hills. "Including fixing crappy endings."
After carefully analyzing the situation, he discovered that the rebirth of the Shinju originated in that place. Therefore, he had arrived at that address in advance.
He materialized just as the Chinese businessmen, Yao, and his minion were about to sit at the table. Itachi gave the Chinese a stern look, then shifted his gaze to the suspicious-looking green meat, and finally back to them.
"You guys again?" Itachi said.
The elderly Chinese man approached him, and asked, "Who are you?"
"I am Uchiha. Itachi Uchiha," Itachi replied with a pretentious tone.
"I see, another TikToker?" the elderly man commented, unimpressed.
Offended, Itachi narrowed his gaze. Moments later, all the Chinese men collapsed to the ground, unconscious. He had trapped them in a Genjutsu.
He approached Yao Cabrera and his subordinate with confidence. The minion promptly fainted as his eyes met Itachi's Sharingan for a brief moment.
"Stay back, you freak!" Yao exclaimed, his voice laced with fear.
"Just as I thought," Itachi stated, giving Yao a piercing stare. "You're the one who leaked my phone number to those obsessed fangirls. It wasn't Kakuzu."
Yao's eyes widened. "Wait..."
"Do you recognize me?" Itachi asked.
Yao shook his head. "No. I offend too many people to remember them all," he admitted.
Itachi felt a surge of annoyance. How could that petty human not remember HIM?
"Very well," Itachi said. "I will make you remember me, bitch."
He then trapped Yao in a Genjutsu for days, subjecting him to days of experiencing the life of a genuinely kind person. The suffering he endured was immense, a punishment for his actions.
Meanwhile, Hinata and Obito had a great time on their date. Obito was wearing what Hinata had knitted for him as they strolled through a popular street in Los Angeles.
Hinata's eyes lit up with excitement when she saw a young couple strolling with their baby. She looked at them with interest and then gave Obito a subtle, piercing gaze. "Children are so cute, aren't they? Do you like kids, Obito?"
Oh man, taking care of Hinata when she was little was such a hassle. Too much work! And she was an abnormal child. I can't imagine dealing with a normal one, Obito thought to himself.
"If the kid is like you, I guess it wouldn't be so bad," he honestly replied.
"If the child is like me...?" Hinata blushed and giggled, a silly smile spreading across her face. "You say the sweetest things, Obito."
"I do?" Obito didn't quite grasp what he had said, but seeing Hinata smile made him feel good.
"Yeah..." Hinata glanced around and then reached for Obito's hand, intertwining their fingers.
Obito was taken aback. "Hinata?" Did she want to hold hands in public? Odd.
"I'll do my best, Obito," she promised cheerfully.
Obito smiled back, still unaware of her true intentions. "Sure."
"So, what's your favorite number?" Hinata asked casually as they continued walking.
Obito thought for a moment and his birth date came to mind.
"I guess ten?" he replied in a laid-back manner.
... And suddenly, Hinata fainted.
"H-Hinata?!"
THE END.
