The mask pattern with soil is not very scary, but at first glance it is still a little scary.

And the eyes that emerge through the eye holes are still shining red, which is particularly weird.

The strange Obito appeared in front of the window of Kakashi's room, opening the window and carrying something in the shape of a human figure.

Kakashi was startled but not frightened, just glad Naruto was asleep now, otherwise...... Well, he didn't know what Naruto would be like when he was terribly frightened.

Curiosity is curiosity, but not much to see.

"How long will you stay here?"

After throwing the man's soil, he asked bluntly.

"I was going to leave today, but there was a little accident...... So I'm ready to leave tomorrow. ”

Kakashi replied as he quietly lifted the quilt up.

"Where to go?"

Obito continued to ask.

"I haven't decided yet, maybe it's one of the hot spring inns in the next town...... He loved soaking in hot springs. ”

Kakashi stroked the child's hair, which had fallen asleep in large letters.

"Then I'll take him where you're going."

Obito grabbed the back collar of Tenzo, who was standing obediently aside, and lifted him in the palm of his hand, glancing at Kakashi's face.

- "It would probably be inconvenient to have an extra person who you don't know...... When did you get into this habit? ”

"Hmm...... In fact, if you sleep like this, you will sleep well, and you can try it when you get back to you. ”

Kakashi was talking nonsense to him in a serious way.

Although all of this is true, it doesn't feel right to say it like this.

“…… No, I'll forget it. ”

Obito waved his hand and looked down at the person he was carrying.

- "I wanted to tell you something...... But you don't seem to be able to transfer right now, so I'll pick something that isn't very important——......"

Obito told Kakashi the reason why he sat on the window frame to keep Amazo alive and the purpose of bringing him over.

ㅤ

"Is that money enough?"

After Obito finished talking to him, he began to talk to him.

“…… What the? ”

Kakashi didn't quite understand what he was talking about.

"That's what happened before - didn't you change rooms?"

Obito pointed at Tenzo with his thumb, "I fought with him and accidentally destroyed your room, and I feel like it might be your fault...... Well, I'll just leave you a little compensation, is that enough? ”

He secretly made the decision to pay more attention to it in the future and try not to demolish it.

"Ah, you gave those for that!?"

Kakashi was shocked again.

…… It wasn't left by Tenzo.

"What, don't you know? The guy over there should have seen it, didn't he tell you? ”

Obito snorted at the child who had slept up, "Don't tell me you threw it away!" ”

"No, no, I still have it......"

Kakashi waved his hand and looked at Naruto with his eyelids fluttering.

The kid didn't say anything to himself.

Could it be that the Nine-Tails didn't tell him anything?

- "If you pay for it, the people from the hotel will pay for it, and we will be given an extra day to change the room... Thanks, but I don't need it, wait...... Well, I'll give those back to you when we see you next time. ”

Kakashi twisted his body to the side for a moment, trying to get enough of the baggage, but the quilt slipped down a little, making him embarrassed to realize that he couldn't get anything right now.

"This shop is pretty good...... I was negligent in getting you to get noticed, and I'll be careful not to add any more trouble to you—but keep that, not much anyway. ”

Obito waved his baby-fat hand indifferently.

"Actually, no, I'm not short of money, I'll pay it back to you later."

Kakashi shook his head and smiled at him, "Thank you anyway." ”

"You don't have to be so polite to me, you can take it if you want to."

Obito's eyes flashed red and glared at him.

“…… But "Besides, it's not just for you, it's okay to take care of Naruto, it's nothing, but I want to...... At least in this kind of thing, let me make amends. ”

Obito interrupted Kakashi's words dissatisfiedly. globe

“…… Well, thank you, Obito. ”

Kakashi finally accepted.

In the past, Obito would often give Naruto pocket money to spend, and when he thought about it, he felt that it was nothing.

Kakashi didn't want to owe any more favors, even if the other party was Obito.

"Then we'll leave first."

Obito was a little unhappy, but he didn't show it.

"Well, goodbye."

Kakashi nodded, smiling goodbye to Obito.

Obito picked up the Tenzo.

ㅤ

“…… Are you friends? ”

Tenzo listened silently to what he could hear, and only when the masked man seemed to be about to take him away did he ask what he cared about.

He was still a little hesitant, but he wanted to trust this guy who couldn't even see his face and that Kakashi-senpai more than the guy who didn't look like a human.

“……”

Kakashi's smile froze on his face when he heard this, and a little, but some confusion gradually emerged from it.

He realized that he couldn't answer—so he looked at Obito.

“…… Look at what I'm doing, don't you want to say no? ”

Obito was even more dissatisfied.

…… He wasn't quite sure what Kakashi thought, anyway, he was a friend of Kakashi now, but Kakashi's very polite attitude just now made him feel that he was the only one who took him as a friend.

He questioned Kakashi like this, but he didn't have any confidence.

"Uh......"

Kakashi actually had the same thoughts, even after discovering that Obito had become an enemy.

But he wasn't sure what Obito thought.

…… Because your heart is still guilty?

If you say that, you should be the one who feels guilty.

He looked at the mask with soil.

- The other side doesn't have eyes now, because it was given to itself.

The injury on the right side of his face was also caused by himself, and I heard Naruto say that half of Obito's body seemed to have been repaired for a long time before it looked normal.

I owe too much debt.

So what did he think?

“……”

Obito and Kakashi looked at each other, silent.

“……”

Kakashi and Obito stared at each other, silent.

“……”

Tenzo was carried and was silent.

…… Is there anything you can't answer to this question you asked?

He didn't know, but there seemed to be something wrong with the question.

Tenzo really just wanted to know what the position of the person carrying him was.

Once he has the answer, he can choose what to do next.

“…… I see, that's the end of the problem, I'll take him to the nearest inn in the next town, and remember to pretend to meet him. ”

Obito looked away, took Tenzo to his side, and went out through the window.

Obito glanced at Kakashi again before leaving, and Kakashi's open mouth was opened and closed by this glance before leaving.

{No, you don't get it......!} }

But Kakashi could only shout this sentence in his heart.

For some reason, he couldn't say it.

Because before the day he got the writing wheel, Obito had been competing with himself, and he was not a friend.

…… And now?

Probably...

… Not really.
