As the distance closes, Obito's heartbeat gradually heats up.

After Lynn's death, he was actually dead.

As a child of the Uchiha clan, in the delicate atmosphere of Konoha and the family, this kind of overly optimistic and indiscriminate help to others is obviously looked down upon by the clan.

But because of his average talent and great nerves, he didn't get much attention, but made his situation much better.

After all, there is only genius in the eyes of the clansmen, and if he is like Zhishui, I am afraid that someone will come to him every day to talk at length about the history of blood and tears of the family.

Uchiha Obito, who has lost the love of his family, tries his best to help everyone in need, but these people are villagers and not ninjas, so they can't understand him and become his buddies, and deep down, the most important people are only Sensei, Kakashi, and Rin.

And Lynn is special.

Although Bo Feng Shuimen and Kakashi have a relationship with Obito, Bo Feng Shuimen cannot provide friendship and identity between peers, and Kakashi is the type who holds everything in his heart and doesn't say anything, plus he is deeply involved in the troubled vortex of his father's suicide and can't extricate himself, so he has no energy to care about Obito's psychological condition.

Only Rin, from childhood to adulthood, she has always continued to give Obito the care and sense of identity he needs most, and when others are laughing at his Hokage dream, only Rin believes that Obito will definitely be able to do it.

This fills the vacancy that Obito longed for most in his childhood, and also satisfies the deepest thoughts of the young man.

It can be said that Rin is equivalent to 99% of Obito's spiritual world.

So when Rin was pierced through the chest by a thousand birds, it was not only his partner who had played since he was a child, but also the seeds of love that had not yet broken through the ground, as well as the dreams and life values that he had always believed in.

From then on, the Uchiha Obito who aspired to become the Hokage and the only Uchiha Madara who wore a vortex mask died.

And he has only one dream, to plunge the world into a sweet dreamland so that there will be no more wars in this world, as well as . Let Lynn live in her own world.

But now, his mind went blank.

It turns out that Youlin's world has always been there, even close at hand, so what's the point of what I've been doing?

He even, and even became, Lynn's most hated appearance.

Thinking of all the evil deeds he had done, he suddenly stopped, looked at Lin who was holding a bowl and drinking soup, a sense of inferiority complex that was ashamed of himself spontaneously, he suddenly didn't want Lin to see his current self, the self hidden in the dark and masked.

That's really. It's ugly.

But Obito's movements are so obvious, and the surrounding shadows are not mediocre, so naturally he found the abnormality at the first time, and he was surrounded by Obito's stunned kung fu.

Nohara Rin also noticed the strangeness behind her at this time, put down the bowl and turned around, but was blocked by the figure of a person, she raised her head and saw Hoshino Mu standing in front of her with a smile.

"One miso ramen with three skewers of yakiniku."

Hoshino said as he sat next to her and looked at the menu on the wall.

There was no Hoshino Maki blocking the view, Nohara Rin looked in the direction where something had just happened, but found that it was empty, so he moved his gaze to Hoshino Makaki's face.

"What, do I have dirt on my face?"

Hoshino asked as he turned his head sideways to look at Nohara Rin, touched his cheek.

Nohara Rin stared at him for a few seconds, then turned his face and silently ate the dumplings.

She was sure that something must have happened just now, but since Hoshino didn't want to tell her, it was useless for her to ask.

The two of them ate silently, and the middle-aged man named Jutian looked cramped, and his originally capable and neat movements became stiff.

As a snack shop near the Kazekage Building, of course he wouldn't fail to know Kazekage-sama.

Although Hoshino Maki has always been amiable, as outsiders, especially those from the Land of Fire, they will not believe in this beautiful skin.

Especially recently, there have been frequent rumors in the circle of the compatriots of the Fire Nation that Sand Hidden City is targeting the people of the Fire Country, which makes them honest craftsmen tremble.

It's just that Sand Hidden City is the most stable and wealthy city in the entire continent, and in order to make a living, they still choose to operate here, and wait until one day Konoha prosperes again.

Ju Zheng remembered the deposit he paid at the housing exchange the day before yesterday, and the speed of flipping the roasted bird skewers in his hand was a little faster.

Let's talk about it later, he just wants to serve Kazekage-sama now.

It would be great if he was in a good mood and would give them some rent relief next year.

"You're ready, sir."

Juzheng stood on tiptoe, bent down and carefully placed the plate in front of Hoshino from the counter, then raised his head and said with a flattering smile on his face.

"Thank you"

Hoshino Mu smiled softly and nodded at him.

A dark man next to him stepped forward and gestured to take chopsticks.

When going out to eat, the dark part of Hoshino Maki's side should be checked in advance.

If they encounter a situation like today, and Kazekage-sama suddenly wants to eat something, they also need to test the poison for Kazekage-sama first to ensure the safety of the adult.

Especially since the guy who cooks is a native of the Fire Country, this step is even more necessary.

But Hoshino glanced at him and stopped him.

Ju Zheng was behind the dining table, his vision was extremely broad, and naturally his heart was pounding when he saw this scene.

Looking at the dark department staring at him, undisguised hostility, even though the food was carefully cooked by himself, he was not so confident in the safety of the food.

Hoshino Maki didn't care, he took a big sip of the soup from the bowl of noodles, the rich soup exuded the aroma of pork bones and the sweetness of shiitake mushrooms, and it could be seen from the ups and downs of his throat that Kazekage-sama was very satisfied with this bowl of noodles.

"Ah~ It tastes good."

With the warm noodle soup in his stomach, Hoshino Maki breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the other party and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Ju, Juzheng, my lord."

Hoshino Mu nodded: "Juzheng, your craftsmanship is good." ”

As he spoke, Hoshino Mu turned his head to the surrounding darkness and said, "You can also come and try it when you have time." ”

Ju Zheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed and thanked him, his strength was a little too strong, and he accidentally threw out the chef's hat.

He bent down and quickly picked it up, and just as he wanted to put it on his head, he remembered that it didn't seem very hygienic, so he stuffed the hat into his pocket, and then put his hand in the clean water and scrubbed it vigorously.

He rubbed his hands red because of the force, but he didn't seem to feel the pain.

There are words from Lord Kazekage, tonight, no, from now on, no one in the entire Sand Hidden City will dare to trouble him.

He knew that coming to Sand Hidden City from the Fire Country was the most correct decision he had ever made in his life!

Nohara Rin looked at this scene, especially the groveling appearance of his compatriots, and the dumplings in his mouth didn't seem to be delicious.

He doesn't seem to get tired of this kind of trick, and he has to do it again every now and then.

According to him, if he doesn't do this, how can he let others know that he is a leader?

"I'm full."

Nohara wiped her mouth and asked, "Are you going home?" ”

"No, you can go back first."

Hoshino Maki tore off the sizzling chicken thighs covered in sauce on the bamboo skewers with his teeth, and responded vaguely while sighing.

"Then I'll go first."

Nohara Rin stood up and left, Hoshino Mu ate by himself, until he finished the last string of roasted birds, he raised his head, his face was gentle and said to Jumasa, "Boss, can you and your wife go and buy me a glass of juice?" ”

Ju Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and looked up to find that only Fengying and his guards were left in the store at some point, and the other customers had long since disappeared.

Thinking back to the strange man just now, he seemed to realize something, nodded quickly, and pulled the dazed woman out the back door.

The sound of the back door opening and closing sounded, and after a few breaths, a figure with soil appeared at the door of the snack shop.

Seeing this, the nerves suddenly tensed, blocking in front of him, and the palm of his hand couldn't help but be on top of the kunai.

"Let him in."

Hoshino Muki said in a deep voice with his back to the door.

Obito walked through the space that had been cleared by the shadows and sat down beside him.

"Would you like something to eat? Oh I forgot, the boss has left, if you don't mind, I can make you a tricolor gnocchi. Rest assured, authentic Konoha flavor. ”

As he spoke, he got up and made a gesture to go to the dining table.

Hearing the last sentence, Uchiha Obito's pupils shrank suddenly, and he raised his head to look at Hoshino Makaki's smiling eyes.

"What are you talking about?"

"Oh?" Hoshino Mu raised his eyebrows and looked at Obito condescendingly: "I thought all Konoha people liked three-color dango, are you an exception?" ”

The last Madara had a strong taste of ridicule, and his fists clenched under his sleeves, since he awakened the Kaleidoscope Writing Wheel Eye to gain unparalleled power, the people who dared to mock him were basically no longer in this world.

Only this man dared to mock him, and more than once.

But anger did not burn his sanity, and he was now more sober than ever.

It's about Nohara Rin, and he can endure anything.

Any.

"Then we'll trouble Kazekage-sama."

Hoshino Muki's smiling face was reflected in the writing wheel, Hoshino Mu walked to the dining table, took out the wrapped dumplings, and took out the bamboo sticks while recalling Juzheng's technique just now, and said at the same time: "The dark department told me that you have left, but it seems that there are still attractive places in this city for you." ”

"Sand Hidden City is the crown of the desert, and I want to see it up close."

Obito picked up the teapot next to him and poured himself a cup of tea, and said lightly.

Hoshino Mu nodded: "I hope I didn't disappoint you." The temperature difference between day and night here is very large, and the people of Sand Hidden City are not very hospitable, if a stranger touches it at night, it is likely to die. ”

As he spoke, he handed the other party a plate of dumplings drizzled with brown sugar syrup.

"For people who have already died once, death is not frightening."

"yes~ So what's scary? Lonely? Torture worse than death? Or will the beloved die in front of him again? ”

Hoshino Maki propped his palms on the dining table, looked at the Uchiha Obito who picked up a bunch of dumplings and said softly.

Click——!

The bamboo sticks snapped in response, and the dumplings smashed on the viscous syrup, splashing everywhere, some even on dirty clothes.

"When did you find out?"

Obito raised his head, looked into Hoshino Makaki's eyes and slowly spoke.

"Sand Hidden City needs young blood, and war is the best time to replenish it."

Hoshino Mu wiped his hands as he spoke, and sat back down beside Obito.

"Who can refuse a genius from an Uchiha? But I'm a step late, he's already been chosen. ”

Obito smiled disdainfully: "Poor lie." At that time, I didn't have much talent, and I even opened my eyes later than my peers. ”

Hoshino Maki pointed to himself: "The growth trajectory of most ninjas is predictable, but you and I are different, aren't we?" Besides, I want Kakashi to play for me, but it's almost impossible. ”

"Will I? At that time, I was determined to become the Hokage, and my loyalty to Konoha was unbreakable, how are you going to win me over? ”

Uchiha Obito apparently still doesn't believe it.

Hoshino Mu stared at the three-hooked jade writing wheel eye with soil, and said softly, "Loyalty? It doesn't matter. As long as your surname is Uchiha, there are only two ways to resist and die, and you should have understood it by now, haven't you? ”

Obito fell silent when he heard this.

Since escaping into darkness and teaching him, he has gradually come to see the world for what it is.

The weak eat the strong, the little people are born and die for food and clothing, and the big people fight to the death for power.

As for the will of fire

The word was so foreign in retrospect that he couldn't remember it anymore.

"So, you brought Lynn back to life?"

After a long silence, Obito spoke.

After saying that, he shook his head again: "No! At that time, Lynn's heart had been completely destroyed, and it was impossible for her to live. I、I held her when she was."

Obito recalled the scene he was most reluctant to recall, and couldn't help but lower his head and pull his hair in pain.

"Ordinary medical ninjutsu is naturally not possible, but forbidden jutsu is possible."

"Reincarnation of the Filthy Earth?"

Hoshino shook his head and didn't elaborate.

Seeing this, Obito's hanging heart also relaxed.

If it's really reincarnation, things are going to be a bit of trouble.

If Hoshino Maki can summon Nohara Rin stably, on the premise that Orochimaru does not make further progress, do you want Hoshino Makaki's life?

Nagato's death is not far off, and according to the plan, Hoshino Makki will also die in that ambush, but at that time, Orochimaru's mastery of this gate forbidden technique has not reached the level of Hoshino Makii, isn't it possible that he will not see Nohara Lin for a long time?

Although Madara and Jue painted a perfect picture of themselves, the family stele does state that this is the only way to save the world.

But Obito, who grew up listening to stories about Madara horror told by the people in the village, still has a trace of concern in his heart.

You can bet on everything, but Lin can't.

"No, that evil ninjutsu has long been abandoned by me."

When the heavens and humans in the heart of the earth were fighting and struggling, Hoshino Mu's somewhat disgusted words lifted his spirits like rain from the sky.

"She's a fully resurrected, flesh-and-blood real person?!"

Obito couldn't keep calm anymore, and although he had already guessed before, he was completely relieved by confirming it from the other party.

"Still. You know, this forbidden technique doesn't come without a price. ”

Hoshino Maki picked up Obito's palm and gently placed it on his chest, his tone heavy.

"Now, Nohara Rin and I share our lives."
