“……”

Obito is looking down at the floor.

Jiraiya first took off his mask and held it in his hand and stared at it for a while, before shifting his gaze to the face that was still under the mask just now.

Cuteness and maturity appear on the same face together, one side looks young, and the other side looks older than himself.

Jiraiya didn't know what to say about the things that made his face like this for a while.

"You...... Are these years okay? ”

I guess he's probably suffered a lot outside.

- "Why don't you go back here?" Is it because of the girl you like? ”

Almost everyone could tell that Obito liked Rin—except for Lynn herself.

Because there are many people who can see that Rin likes Kakashi - even Obito thinks the same way.

Rin was a partner, a companion, a good friend, but Obito was more than what he hoped for.

So Hizai thinks that he won't come back, probably because Lin is 'gone'.

And he could only think of such a possibility.

Later, Watergate and the others were gone, and Kakashi was the only one, and he didn't want to come back and accept the fact that 'everyone' was gone.

As long as they don't come back, maybe they can be still there?

The old man thought a lot sadly.

“…… No, it's... Other reasons......"

Obito struggled in his heart.

"Ahh yes, if you've already been in contact with Kakashi, you've probably seen it too...... Is that what he said earlier? You helped get her to Tsunade, right? ”

Hizashi vaguely remembered some of the words Kakashi had said earlier when he was going to send Rin to Tsunade.

“……？？？”

Who?

Zilai also heard it in a fog, and he didn't know what this old man and young man were talking about.

Is it said that 'she (the other girl)' is not 'he (the other)', so it's a girl? But isn't Lynn gone? Who is this talking about? Is it silent?

But Mute was taken away directly from Konoha by Tsunade back then.

So who is it? There are very few girls who meet Obito, right......

“…… Yes. ”

Obito turned his face to look in a different direction, but still looked at the floor.

"It's great that you're still alive, Kakashi has endured so much alone, and if you were by his side as a companion, he wouldn't have to think of that child as the center of gravity of his life like before."

Hizai patted Obito's shoulder, which was about the same height as himself.

Kakashi was really stunned.

It's just that the people around me are gone, so I poured all my heart and soul into a child who said it didn't matter, but said that it was a little bit.

As a result, they have reduced their interaction with other peers, and this is even happening now.

That can't be considered spoiling anymore.

It's over, it's really too much, whether it's his connivance or the child's presumptuousness, it's really too much.

Thinking about it now, I really shouldn't have agreed to send Rin to Tsunade back then, I should have found a way to get Tsunade back to Konoha.

Tsunade also has a lot of hurdles in his heart.

But she's a little luckier than Kakashi, because there's a very sensible mute here - speaking of which, Mute is also a person who is related to the break, although it's not a direct blood relative, but the meaning is probably the same as Kakashi and Naruto.

They are all the ones who have been left behind and the only beings who can connect with the 'deceased'.

"Kakashi is going to be like this... I think there's a reason for that......"

Obito's hand hanging at his side clenched into a fist, but it was trembling.

"It's okay, it's not too late for you to come back now, although your teacher is gone, the three of you can still be the same as before" "You can't go back"

Obito feels that now is probably the most 'calm' time in his life—the time when his heart has been at war for a long time after saving Kakashi.

I shouldn't have atoned for that child alone.

The victims born because of what he did were not only Naruto and Kakashi, but also Sensei.

All the people in the village are 'victims'.

There are many people who have lost important people because of that incident, and many people who hate a baby who was forced to take responsibility because of that incident...... Although Kakashi's persistent efforts made that a 'thing of the past,' it still left Naruto with that memory.

It's all because of myself.

Otherwise, Naruto would have grown up happily in a happy family, instead of being like this who suffers about his life and everything himself, and then vents his heart and only favors him.

…… It's time to accept the punishment you deserve.

Obito made up his mind.
