"What are you doing hitting me on the head?"

Obito asked fiercely.

"Did you just want to commit suicide?"

Shiraishi asked.

"So what? Doesn't it have anything to do with you being a freeloader?"

"No, I just want to say that if you die now, I will have to take care of Lin personally from now on."

"What?"

Obito didn't react, a flash of light suddenly flashed in his head, and he looked at Shiraishi in disbelief.

"You, you mean, Lin is not dead?"

The surprise came so suddenly that he was so excited that he was a little incoherent.

"We are now out of danger. It's hard to say when we will wake up."

Shiraishi stared at Obito and said.

"Are you lying to me? This is impossible. I remember that my kunai really hit Lin's vitals at that time."

Obito shook his head, a little disbelieving. He was very willing that what Shiraishi said was true, but his kunai did hit Lin's vitals directly at that time. How could Lin survive?

"I can't get much benefit from lying to you. But there is a problem. I did use medical ninjutsu to save Lin from the edge of life and death, but..."

Shiraishi didn't speak any further.

"but what?"

Obito's heart tightened.

"Please come over and check it out for yourself. It's in the ward next door. He's awake right now."

Shiraishi pointed to the ward next to him and said to Obito.

Without saying anything, Obito quickly got off the hospital bed, still wearing a hospital gown, and ran out of the ward barefoot.

Sure enough, on the door of the ward next door, I saw a house plate with the words "Nohara Lin" written on it.

Obito suppressed his inner excitement and gently pushed open the ajar door.

Like the ward Obito is in, it is a high-end ward for single use, a ward specially arranged for injured important personnel.

In the ward, a girl about the same age as Obito was sitting on the hospital bed. The atmosphere around her was very quiet. She turned her head and looked at the scenery outside through the open window.

"Lin..."

When Obito saw this extremely familiar figure, his voice trembled and he called out the girl's name.

When the girl heard the voice, she slowly turned her head and saw Obito with an excited expression. He did not show the gentle smile that Obito had imagined, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Um, who are you? Do you know me?"

Obito felt like he was struck by lightning, his body stiffened at the door of the ward.

At this time, Shiraishi passed Obito and entered the ward. He put a bottle of medicine on the counter beside the bed and said to Lin: "Take this bottle of medicine once a day at noon, two pills at a time, for about half a month."

After that, you can be discharged from the hospital. Before that, you can go for a walk outside, but try not to exercise strenuously."

"Okay, Senior Shiraishi, I understand."

Lin nodded, her smile was pure and calm.

"How's it going? Still can't recall what happened in the past?"

Shiraishi asked.

Lin shook her head and frowned in distress: "No, I still can't recall anything. I remember my name very clearly, but I don't remember other things very clearly. Every time I think about it,

, my head will hurt inexplicably."

"Really?" Baishi paused, then said with a smile: "Forget it if you can't remember. Don't force yourself too much."

"yes."

"You have a good rest now. I'm leaving first. Remember to take the medicine on time."

Shiraishi nodded, turned around and walked to the door of the ward, patted Obito on the shoulder and took him out.

Lin watched the two of them leave, her face calm, and she continued to turn her head and look out the window in concentration.

The gentle and warm breeze constantly blows from the window, making people feel extremely comfortable and feeling like they have been reborn.

"Hey, you bastard, what happened to Lin? Why..."

Following Shiraishi all the way to the rooftop of the hospital, Obito couldn't wait to ask, his face extremely anxious.

"As you can see, Lin has lost her memory now."

Unlike Obito's anxiety, Shiraishi answered calmly.

"Amnesia?"

Seeing how Lin didn't recognize him just now, Obito had already made some assumptions, but the fact Shiraishi said was still hard for Obito to accept.

"That's right. It's probably because of guilt that I feel ashamed to face you, so I chose to isolate myself."

Shiraishi sighed.

"Guilty?"

Obito looked confused.

"She had selfish intentions at the time and wanted to die under your kunai, leaving you alone to bear the pain of killing your friend. This is where her guilt and self-blame come from. Compared with the pain she suffered in an instant, the pain you faced

That kind of pain will last a lifetime, that's what she thought at the time. She couldn't forgive herself for such a selfish behavior."

Shiraishi said so.

Obito's breathing became very rapid, and his heart seemed to be in great pain. He covered his chest and whispered: "I don't mean to blame Lin... The reason why this happened is because of my eyes. Lin is like this."

Being targeted."

Shiraishi walked up to Obito and looked directly into Obito's regretful eyes.

"Because of this, you were too tolerant of everything about her, so when Lin died, she felt guilty and chose to close her heart, unable to look directly at her selfish self."

"..."

Obito fell silent.

"...Is there no way to recover?"

Obito still felt unwilling.

"This is Lin's own choice, if you think it is a good thing for Lin to recover that memory."

Shiraishi's words left Obito speechless.

Indeed, restoring that part of memory may not be a good thing for Lin.

He will bear all the pain, and he doesn't want Lin to be hurt more. This is what Obito is thinking now.

For him, the fact that Lin is alive is the greatest salvation in his heart.

"Leave aside Lin's matter...what are your plans next?"

Shiraishi asked Obito what his next plan was.

"My plan?" Obito was stunned for a moment, and then replied thoughtfully: "I want to take Lin back to Konoha. After all, I am a ninja of Konoha, and Kakashi is also waiting for me. I have turned it on now.

Having the Mangekyo Sharingan should be very important to the village."

"Do you really think so?"

"certainly."

"Then do you want to kill Lin?"

Shiraishi's question made Obito slightly startled.

How could it be framed if he brought Lin back to Konoha?

This is a bit too alarmist.

"What's the meaning?"

"The reason why Lin wanted to commit suicide was because someone had implanted the Seven-Tails in his body, and he was under a spell that prevented him from harming himself. Someone wanted to control her and use the Seven-Tails in her body to attack Konoha. Lin wanted to stop this.

Everything was decided to die in your hands."

Shiraishi briefly described what happened, allowing Obito to understand why Lin wanted to die under his kunai in that situation.

In that situation, Lin was the only choice she could make.

"What does this have to do with Lin and I returning to Konoha?"

Obito is confused.
