"I didn't expect you to be so diligent, Obito."

"I've always been diligent."

"Please put the rice on the table for me, please."

"I -" Just when he was about to curse, Obito squeezed out a stiff smile from his face, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay."

With that said, he helped Shiraishi put the rice in the bowl.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. I'm full. You can enjoy it slowly."

Obito took a deep breath and left here quickly. He was afraid that he would not be able to help but want to punch that annoying smiling face.

Watching Obito leave, Lin sighed: "Teacher Shiraishi, you have such a bad character."

"Isn't it the same for you? You must have noticed my arrival a long time ago."

Lin had already begun to learn the application of senjutsu chakra, and he also taught her the sensory ninjutsu. Therefore, only the half-hearted Obito, who did not have the ability to perceive, did not discover his existence.

Lin's face turned slightly red and she turned to the side.

"I actually didn't think about it that much, Shiraishi-senpai."

Shiraishi naturally knows what it means to be called senior instead of teacher.

The excuse of amnesia can only deceive an innocent fool like Obito.

"I have taken your parents out of Konoha. You can go see them at any time."

Shiraishi told Lin the news while eating.

Lin's cooking is indeed good. If you think about it carefully, a girl who is beautiful, kind, gentle, and has good cooking skills, no wonder Obito will be eaten to death.

"Should I say thank you?"

Lin smiled bitterly.

"That's not necessary. It's just that with the tailed beast sealed in your body, you really can't return to Konoha."

"I understand this kind of thing. I always feel that I am very selfish. I wish I had thought carefully at that time. Obito is being plotted by others, and it is all because of me."

"..."

Hearing Lin's mumbling, Shiraishi was speechless for a moment.

Obito said it was because of Talin that he was targeted.

Lin now said that it was because of herself that Obito was plotted against.

"In the opinion of Shiraishi-senpai, am I stupid?"

Lin raised her head and asked.

"Humans are the ones who do stupid things."

Shiraishi answered solemnly.

Lin did not answer, but agreed with Shiraishi's words.

Human beings are creatures that do a lot of stupid things, and they have always been like this.

Whether it is in this ninja world or as a ninja in the ninja world.

"For Obito, your existence is special. Both of you have your own talents, and there is no need to belittle yourself. But there is one thing I want to remind you."

Shiraishi put down his bowls and chopsticks and stopped eating.

"What?"

"Don't die. Otherwise, I might kill Obito myself at that time."

Shiraishi looked directly at Lin and said to her in an unprecedented serious tone:

"Without your shackles, Obito is too dangerous for me. I can't control him. Awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan at the age of twelve does mean his talent, but it also proves that he has inner strength.

His emotions are too rich and too fragile. So once you die, his existence will become very dangerous. You should know this better than me."

"Is it because I opened his kaleidoscope eyes?"

Lin asked after a moment of silence.

"That's right. You who opened Obito's eyes are undoubtedly very special in his heart. Obito cannot suppress his feelings, and with the blood of the Uchiha clan, his danger is obvious. The best outcome is to be taken by me.

Get the Mangekyou Sharingan and spend your life in a prison cell."

Shiraishi was not joking with Lin, he really thought so.

The reason why Obito is docile now and has not been eroded by the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan is because Rin is still alive and can limit the darkness in his heart.

If Lin dies, the darkness in her heart will revive again. At that time, not only the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan, but also what terrible things will be done are unpredictable.

When that time comes, he also needs to take precautions.

Therefore, he wanted to warn Lin that she must protect herself.

He worked hard to learn senjutsu and medical ninjutsu, and even learned to control the seven tails in his body, all in order to have the power to protect himself.

He hoped Lin could understand.

No, Lin knew this very well.

For her, saving Obito was also the salvation that allowed her to survive.

I don’t want anyone to be hurt, but my feelings for Obito are probably quite complicated.

"Senior Shiraishi, I am really stupid."

Lin smiled bitterly again.

Although I thought in my heart, it would be better if I just died at that time.

Just as Shiraishi said, when he died at the hands of Obito, his behavior was actually very selfish and ridiculous.

Therefore, at first, I felt resentful towards Shiraishi who brought me back from the brink of death, but if I think about it carefully, it was all a fault caused by careless thinking.

In order to protect Konoha, it is indeed understandable from the standpoint of Konoha ninja Nohara Rin to harm his important partners.

However, after making that choice, Konoha ninja Nohara Rin died.

Nohara Rin, who is standing here now, has lost her identity as a Konoha ninja.

After she was reborn, what she did again was not the Konoha Ninja Village.

If you are selfish, then stay selfish.

For Obito and himself, there is no way out, there is only one way to go.

"So, we humans are the ones who are stupid. Of course, I am one of them. Don't forget, I am also selfish when I use you."

"I thought Senior Shiraishi was going to say something upright and awe-inspiring."

Hearing what Shiraishi said, Lin gently stroked her hair on her forehead and smiled slightly.

"For those of you who have died once, those words may not be useful. It is better to be more realistic. If you have any psychological problems, please feel free to contact me. The Kingdom of Ghosts already has a hospital that specializes in educating ninjas about their mental health."

This sentence doesn't seem to be a joke.

"Then let Shiraishi-senpai monitor me and Obito."

Lin smiled generously and looked directly at Shiraishi frankly.

Shiraishi also smiled and said: "Of course, personally, I have paid considerable attention to you. You are my disciples. I don't want to give up on you unless I have to. No, it should be said that if you don't give up what you want in your heart, you will not give up.

For me, this is the best reward."

"What arrangements will be made for Obito in the future?"

Lin asked with concern.

"I will have my own opinion on this matter later. I plan to arrange for him to work in a place that suits him."

"for example?"

"He helps grandma and grandpa on the road. In this regard, I believe he can do better."

"Guard?"

Lin nodded understandingly.

"I hope I can eliminate the 'darkness' in his eyes... If those eyes are not guided correctly, the loss of wealth will be a trivial matter, but taking revenge on the world will be the mistake of my neglect of discipline."

Shiraishi answered matter-of-factly.

After bringing Lin and Obito back, he had already made arrangements in this regard.

Now that I have brought the two of them back, I must be seriously responsible for them.

Letting Obito learn natural energy is also to calm Obito's heart.

This is a bit taken for granted, but in Shiraishi's view, if Obito at this immature age abuses the power of the Mangekyo Sharingan too much, it may not be a good thing.

His mental age is too childish and simple.
