Obito's expression is not as fierce as just now, but it is still quite numb.

Coaxing?

…… Coax it.

A child is a child, but not an ordinary child, although it is still an ordinary child, but ......

Obito was thinking about rubbing the child's back, but Naruto reached out before him to block his only eye.

Because it wasn't an offensive move, Obito didn't dodge.

Mizuto thinks this is a good opportunity, but after aiming at Kakashi, he realizes that Kakashi has no intention of 'rescuing Naruto'.

"What?"

Kushina's face was confused.

She could also sense that Obito had a chilling sensation on him, but she didn't think it was serious.

Because she didn't know that it was this 'child' who released the Nine-Tails at that time.

Watergate is helpless, but there is still danger if others can't help, so they can only rely on themselves.

Although he is only in the form of a chakra consciousness body, he doesn't have much chance of winning against that Obito here.

But...... It doesn't matter so much.

As the water gate rushed in front of Obito, Naruto stuck his head over and rested on Obito's shoulder.

Although he was crying, although the arms were very small, Obito still felt a little warmth from it.

…… If only the tears hadn't been rubbed on my face.

The child hugged him and cried while rubbing his face and shoulders, tears? Maybe not only, maybe a little snot also got on it.

Naruto had already cried into a flower face, so he didn't mind the question of whether it was dirty or not, anyway, he just cried and rubbed at the same time.

When he cried until he choked and coughed, he also made Obito feel a cold itch in his neck, and he involuntarily snorted.

His collar was mostly soaked with the mixture of the child's tears.

…… Moreover, he wanted to cry too.

Naruto was strangling the back of Obito's neck, and Mizuto couldn't pull the child out of Obito directly.

Otherwise, there will definitely be a problem with the arm, even if it is only in the consciousness space now.

“…… I'm sorry. ”

Obito's expression of being cried by the child and even becoming cold again collapsed, he hated the child's snot and tears, but it wasn't the kind that he hated very much.

When the little braincase slipped down the door of his head, he was stunned for a while.

…… He also thought he was going to be head-hammered, and he was ready for it—because he had been beaten by Kushina a lot before, even though he used his fists.

But I didn't expect the child to just touch it gently.

- "I didn't mean to do it just now, don't cry......"

Obito's expression became aggrieved little by little, and he sniffed and tried to coax the crying child in his arms.

"I have to hold back ......! Can't cry with him too......"

Obito touched the tip of his nose, then lifted the child up, making his gaze higher than his own, and then looked up at him.

The child's tears fell down and fell to Obito's face, but Naruto had almost cried enough just when Obito became less scary, but he couldn't stop it for a while.

…… In this state, he still has snot, which he can't even imagine.

And the tears that flowed down with the child's tears were the snot that had become a shape and did not fall away.

…… It's not your average disgusting.

But Obito himself cried when he was a child, and although he wanted to talk about him, it seemed that no matter what he said, it would turn on him, so he simply didn't say it.

Obito didn't have any paper on him, Kakashi too, and Rin didn't think about preparing that, and it was even more impossible for Mizuto and Kushina to have them.

However, Obito, who had sacrificed several clothes, didn't worry too much, just silently took off his coat before the child's snot flowed down, and directly pinched the cloth on the side of the collar to blow his nose.

…… Anyway, the clothes were already unwanted.

Naruto, who had unceremoniously blown his nose, kicked Obito's arm and climbed onto his shoulder, and after hesitating for a moment, Obito still helped the child to let him sit on his shoulder again.

…… When I was waiting outside before, Obito had already quietly unwrapped the braids that the child had tied for himself, otherwise when we talked for a while, I probably wouldn't have taken it seriously when I thought of what I had found so funny.

Obito looked at the clump of clothes in his hands and didn't know what to do, Kakashi tentatively reached out and took the garbage to be disposed of, tugging at his sleeve to tie the clump of clothes into a ball again.

——“…… I'm sorry. ”

Obito, who sat a little doll on his shoulder, had experience this time, and first helped the child's leg before apologizing to the water gate.

The arc of the bow was so great that Naruto almost rolled forward and fell over, even if the hair at hand was not Kakashi's, he couldn't care about it, and quickly grabbed two handfuls of his hair and shrunk it into a tummy bear.

“…… Get up......"

Watergate was still a little uneasy, but not as vigilant as it had just been.

"I heard that emotions seem to be contagious to children, Obito, are you sad about something?"

Jiu Sinai pulled Lin to Watergate's side and looked at him with concern.

When she was pregnant with a child, she went to learn a lot about child rearing, but unfortunately she didn't use even one.

But seeing that the child is white and chubby, he should be taken care of by Kakashi very well.

…… Yes! Lin is also here, Obito is also there, and now they are here together, so the three of them are probably going to take care of it together, right?

Kakashi's explanation was that Rin had only been woken up some time ago, but he didn't say how long it would take, and Kushina assumed that it was a long time ago.

She thought it was unlikely that Lynn's hair would grow that long in just a few days.

Obito's heart suddenly sudden, and after helping the child, he lowered his head again, and opened his mouth for a while but didn't even make a sound.

“…… Shall I explain it to him? ”

Kakashi's other hand, which wasn't carrying the clothes, lifted weakly.

He also knew about the situation of Obito, because he had already heard an explanation once, but not as early as now, and not as much as this time.

"Let's do it together! Don't talk nonsense just because you don't have a good relationship. ”

Naruto grabbed Obito's hair and glared at Kakashi menacingly, and Kakashi shrunk his neck, roughly understanding what Naruto meant.

Rebirth or something, can't be said.

"Hey, is your relationship still so bad?"

Kushina stepped forward and rubbed Obito and Kakashi's hair one by one, and finally landed gently on their shoulders.

- "But if it makes you feel painful, you don't need to say it! ”

Kushina tried to make a gentle big sister image in front of Naruto, smiling at them, "You're all still here, we're already satisfied!" It's okay if you don't talk about it, let's talk about something else! ”

Although she didn't know what had happened, she always felt that if she had to know, it would make Obito feel pain.

He just looked a little bit like that.

…… It's okay.

- "It's good you're still here!" ”

A kind and bright smile blended into the long red hair, like a burning fire, warm, but close to make people feel the pain of burning.

“…… Kushina...... Sister, I'm sorry......"

Naruto also gently rubbed his hair twice, using his actions to tell him, 'It's okay, let's talk'.

He took a deep breath and lowered his head again.

- "It was my ...... at the time!" Unleashed the ...... of the Nine-Tails It's true...... I'm sorry......"

The courage that Obito had accumulated was consumed when he finished saying it all in one breath.

He closed his eyes tightly, not daring to look at Kushina's current expression.

“……！？”

Kushina's eyes widened in disbelief.
