Even the peaceful days of the past have become boring for Nohara Rin.

"Lin, what are you... expecting?"

Suddenly, Kiyoshi spoke.

Nohara Rin pursed her lips and remained silent.

"Your chakra is out of control."

Kiyoshi looked at Nohara Rin with great interest.

In her perception mode, Nohara Rin's chakra was like a flickering flame, extremely unstable.

"me……"

Nohara Rin didn't know how to explain.

I was so ashamed I almost cried.

Seeing Nohara Rin's pitiful appearance, Kiyoshi couldn't help but laugh.

The fruit he planted grew into what he had envisioned.

By now, Rin Nohara has probably forgotten about the dead Obito.

Even Kiyoshi, who was once Kakashi, noticed that Rin Nohara was deliberately avoiding him.

Despite his hard work, Kiyoshi finally reaped the rewards he desired.

"Lin, are you hungry?"

Qingsi asked.

Nohara Rin is a girl with a small appetite.

She doesn't have the contrasting gluttonous attribute of Hinata Hyuga.

"A little bit."

Nohara Rin nodded slightly.

If Kiyoshi hadn't come, she would have cooked herself some simple noodles.

Thinking of this, Nohara Rin mustered her courage and said:

"I have some leftover char siu, tonkotsu broth, and thick noodles at home. Would you like me to make you some noodles?"

Nohara Rin knew that Kiyoshi often ate at a ramen shop called Ichiraku Ramen, so she bought some noodles and kept them at home.

Over time, I developed a habit of liking to eat noodles.

"No, no, no, Lin, you haven't tried my cooking yet, have you?"

Qingsi smiled slightly.

Besides the "Master Chef (Blue)" entry, he also has some green and white entries related to cooking.

The various bonuses total 40%, plus the 40% from the Chef God affix, for a total of 80%.

These are all keywords that were triggered by his constant cooking.

On his way back from the Sand Village trip, Kiyoshi also unlocked a new entry: "Konoha's Little Master (Purple)".

We're just a little bit more progress away from fully unlocking it.

"Don't you have a maid at home?"

Nohara Rin was referring to Guren.

"You'll know after you try it."

Kiyoshi slowly got up.

With an 80% bonus, those foods are quite delicious.

"You stay here and don't move. I'll cook you some noodles now."

Qingsi said.

Nohara Rin, who had just taken a bath, still had water stains on her skin, which looked even more supple than usual.

As Kiyoshi performed hand seals, he took out the pot and ladle used to assist in cooking.

Perhaps because Nohara Rin was born into a small, ordinary family and had never seen the Uchiha-style large ladle, she remained stunned until the ladle passed over her head.

Seeing Nohara Rin pursing her lips, Kiyoshi's smile widened, and he said:

"Come on, I need your help, Lin."

Umm~!

…………

Somewhere a few kilometers away.

Kakashi held a bouquet of flowers, looking sadly at the memorial stone in front of him.

That is Obito's memorial stone.

“Obito, people say that after the Kannabi Bridge, two heroes with Sharingan emerged, one is you, and the other is me.”

Kakashi's tone was mocking.

hero?

Can someone like him be considered a hero?

He's someone who caused the death of his companion and someone who stood by and watched his companion die.

He's a complete scumbag.

A wave of self-blame surged through Kakashi's heart.

"Father, I understand you more and more now."

Kakashi sighed.

He thought of his father, Sakumo Hatake, who committed suicide.

Every night, he would dream that Obito's right cheek was being pressed under a boulder.

That feeling of self-blame almost suffocated him.

He even bought a book called "How a Ninja Should Die" to read.

"Alright Obito, that's all for today. Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've seen Rin. Let's go see her."

Kakashi bent down and placed a bouquet of flowers in front of Obito's memorial stone, as was his habit.

He then carried another bouquet of flowers toward Nohara Rin's house.

Kakashi also figured things out during this time.

Nohara Rin was always lonely at Konoha Hospital, so sometimes he would go to see her to help her relieve her boredom.

It was the only thing he could do.

Even Obito in the Pure Land would praise him if he knew.

…………

Dusk fell upon the earth.

The shops along the street gradually lit up with neon lights in an effort to make their signs more visible to a wider audience.

Snapped!

A piece of glass vibrated, and a handprint appeared above it.

After the first handprint, an even larger handprint covered it.

After an unknown amount of time, the handprint suddenly disappeared.

Without the warmth of the palm, the handprint slowly faded away.

It was as if nothing had ever happened.

Kakashi squeezed through the crowd and finally arrived at Nohara Rin's house.

He was holding a bouquet of flowers, his favorite pink lilies.

"Kakashi, have you rekindled your youth?"

Might Guy was astonished to see Kakashi holding a bouquet of flowers.

You should know that this is not the direction of the memorial monument.

Since it's not a gift to the dead, the flowers could only be for the living, and most likely a woman.

A short-haired figure suddenly appeared in my mind.

Nohara Lin!

"Kai, don't misunderstand anything."

Kakashi was exasperated when he saw Might Guy, hoping he wouldn't do anything strange that would attract attention.

This might lead to gossip about Lin.

Kakashi would never allow such a thing to happen.

Might Guy patted Kakashi on the shoulder, gave him a thumbs up, revealing his gleaming white teeth, and said with a smile:

"Alright, those who know, know. It's the unspoken understanding between men. Kakashi, I support you."

Matt Kai left quickly.

Kakashi is in much better shape today than yesterday, which is something to celebrate.

Run a hundred laps around this street!

Kakashi watched Might Guy's retreating figure, remaining silent, and continued walking with the flowers in his hand.

Not long after, he finally arrived at Nohara Rin's house.

dong dong.

Kakashi knocks on the door.

He waited for a while, but no one opened the door.

Patient Kakashi knocked on the door again.

dong dong...

He knocked several times, but no one answered the door.

"Lin is not home."

Kakashi smiled wryly; it seemed he had made a wasted trip.

He shook his head and walked outside.

Tick.

A single drop of water appeared on the dry ground.

The next two drops, then three drops...

Kakashi looked up; the sky had already darkened.

However, it was vaguely visible that a dark cloud was covering the area.

"It's raining?"

Kakashi thought to himself.

His gaze then slid down and he noticed a dark shadow behind the window.

"Lin!"

Kakashi tentatively called out.

The dark figure seemed to freeze. A moment later, the window was pushed open, revealing Nohara Rin's face.

"Is there something you need, Kakashi?"

Rin Nohara's eyes widened, not understanding when Kakashi had arrived downstairs.
