“…… Is it Obito? ”

The sound of the water gate is also very soft.

…… I always feel that all this is beyond my own thinking.

He crouched down with Naruto in his arms, half-crouched in front of Obito's lowered head.

Obito first turned his head to the side, and after a long while, he twisted back to his normal direction and slowly raised his head.

But even if he lifted it, he didn't dare to look at what kind of expression the water gate was now.

He didn't dare to imagine it.

Mizumon also waited patiently for him for a while before gently stretching out his hand that was not holding the child and reaching out to the side of the face of the person in front of him.

Obito, who had been touched by the hair, instinctively dodged for a moment, but after a moment he stopped again, and the red light that flashed from the hole in his eye quietly went out, leaving only the darkness that looked like nothing behind the mask.

Watergate's hands shrank back with him when they touched his hair—his impression of this mask should have been nothing but hatred.

Is the face under the mask really what I remember?

Mizumon stretched out his hand again, and felt the mask rope that was not easy to find next to his face.

He reached into the gap between the mask and his ears along the mask rope, and lifted the mask up little by little.

The first thing that caught his eye was the irregular lines on the corners of his mouth and cheeks, and as he moved up the mask, he saw the sunken eye holes that could not be concealed even if he closed his eyes.

The side without eyes is still the innocent appearance of his disciple, and the side covered with scars and hidden red pupils doesn't need to open his mouth at all, so that Shuimen can know that he has experienced a lot of pain.

“…… You've grown up, too. ”

After putting down the mask, Mizumon pursed his lips, put his hand on Obito's head, and rubbed it a few times in a complicated mood, trying to show his usual smile.

But he found that he couldn't keep the mood he had been, even though his face did look like he was smiling.

Although the current body temperature of Watergate is not as high as that of ordinary people, the temperature of the palm of his hand falling on Obito's head makes him feel like something hot on his hands.

It's really warm, but it's too warm......

Obito's heart sank again, like a child who had been burned, and he couldn't help but cry.

…… It was he who caused him to become what he is now.

It was they who kept their family from being reunited.

And it's not just Mizumon and Kushina, many people in Konoha have lost their relatives because of their own reasons...... Including the parents of many classmates in the same period when they were in school, so many families have been torn apart by themselves......

As the perpetrator, what right do you have to cry in front of the victim?

But he couldn't.

He couldn't stop crying.

He tried his best to restrain himself, but as if it had the opposite effect, he cried more and more.

Lin, who had seen him crying a few days ago, was almost experienced, and naturally squatted down, patting him on the back while comforting him softly.

Watergate wants to do the same, but ......

He could only silently withdraw his hand and hug Naruto to see Obito cry.

Kakashi had also seen Obito cry and helped comfort him, so he also squatted down on the other side of Obito with Rin, grabbing his head like a child, patting him on the top of his head, saying things like 'don't cry, don't cry'.

However, Obito's unstoppable crying would later infect Kakashi's mood into a similar state, making him involuntarily cry with him.

Naruto couldn't stand it anymore and pulled Mizumon's shadow robe and pointed to the ground to indicate that he wanted to go down, and Mizuto was silent for a moment before nodding at him and putting him back on the ground.

The child who landed on the ground ran to Obito without hesitation for half a second, stretched out two small hands and slapped Obito's face directly from both sides with a 'pia', and did not raise his hand when he touched it, but pressed it vigorously to the middle.

Obito's face, which was already a little bit of baby fat, was quickly pressed to the point that he had to be squeezed by the little fat meat on his cheeks like a fish blowing bubbles.

After squeezing it, it was pulled outward, and Naruto unceremoniously pinched the face on the side of his face with his backhand, and pulled it hard diagonally down the sides.

Kakashi couldn't bear to look at it.

Naruto wanted to give him another head hammer, but his head was not so iron, and it was definitely more fragile than the skull that had lived for sixteen or seven years, and he was afraid that he would have a concussion and Obito didn't seem to be doing well, so he could only give up unwillingly.

"I didn't cry, and you can't cry anymore! Otherwise, I won't take you to the toilet in the future——...... Ahem, I'm not playing with you anymore! ”

Naruto said childish words in an old-fashioned manner and pinched his face again.

“…… Ahem, ahem, ahem! ……”

Obito choked on himself when he heard his words.

He wanted to complain about Naruto and say, 'Okay, don't play with my hair,' but thinking about it gradually calmed down, and then he didn't say anything.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have ...... like this"

Obito hurriedly wiped away his tears and went to reach the mask on the ground not far away, but as soon as he picked it up, he was held down by Watergate.

Watergate shook his head at him.

“…… Can you tell me, why did you do that at the time? ”

Watergate's face was smiling, but his eyes were extremely serious and serious.

Let Obito's emotions, which have reduced a little psychological burden after crying, cool down as if a bucket of ice water has been poured again.

"Hmm" "Wait! Father! You wait! ”

Naruto hurriedly reached out and pinched Obito's mouth like a dog's mouth, telling him to shut up.

- "It's too cumbersome to explain, we'll want to see each other later...... Uh, see my ...... Mother, so, so what, can you call her out and explain it together? I'm afraid you don't have enough time, and you won't be able to see her after explaining......"

Naruto scratched his head.

Although it seems that they can meet in the Pure Land, they can't remember exactly what happened after they died after their consciousness and soul returned to the present world......? Lynn's memories seem to be a little confused because of this.

So I guess the current Watergate hasn't seen Kushina since then.

Because Kushina, who appeared behind the water gate on Yuan Ming's side, didn't know if the water gate had told Yuan Ming about himself, and only inferred from his child's reaction that it didn't seem to be.

…… Well.

After all, that side and this side are different worlds from the dead and the living.

"Kushina ......"

Watergate's pupils shrank a little.

He didn't answer right away.

Naruto wasn't in a hurry, so he looked up at Mizuto while pinching Obito's mouth, waiting for him to answer.

——“…… Also, she should know about this matter as well......"

Watergate smiled with mixed feelings.

- "But even though I sealed myself in the seal with her chakra, I couldn't do it...... Because the premise on my side is that I will appear when you are about to release the Eight-Tails and lose your mind and remove the talisman, but I didn't expect Kakashi to come and help you uncover the talisman, and I don't know much about Kushina's side............ That's right! You didn't release the eighth tail, did you?? ”

Shuimen seemed to remember something, and quickly turned his head to look at the nine tails in the cage room over there.

The Nine-Tails bared her teeth at him, scratched her back with her backclaws and yawned heavily.

It looks like a domestic pet, and it's a leisurely beer.
