Hikaru Hokage

"Get out from behind?"

Obito glanced not far behind him.

Oh, it's the two guys who have been looking at me outside the door.

"But now...well, if I go to the bathroom, they probably won't follow me."

There was no quick way out of Obito's current situation of needing to walk with a cane.

"..."

"Can you tell me who you are now?"

Walked into the toilet, closed the partition, sat on the toilet, and put down the crutches.

Obito asked quickly towards the shadow in front of him.

He was both curious and annoyed. If the sound was really a prank by some guy, he vowed to make this guy look good in the future.

"Um……"

Although this place is somewhat... unsuitable for public appearances, at least it won't be seen by others.

So, Black Zetsu slowly emerged from Obito's shadow, seemingly coming out of the toilet.

"You, you are!?"

After seeing a dark guy emerge from his shadow, Obito was so frightened that he leaned against the wall behind him.

"I am a creature born from the shadows. You can also call me Black Zetsu."

"Shadow? Creature? Black... Zetsu?"

Most people are absolutely terrified when they first discover a humanoid creature that is different from what they know.

After Obito was frightened, he was already thinking about whether to report it to the Hokage or the Konoha Guard later.

"Yes, I'm here to help you."

"help me?"

"Yes, I will help you regain your hands and feet, and, until then, I can also serve as your hands and feet, just like this."

"Hey you……"

Seeing Black Zetsu suddenly crawling into him, Obito was so frightened that he moved around in the toilet stall.

But soon, he found that he had magically stood up.

"That's it, relax and I'll follow your lead and help you walk."

"This is?"

Obito was surprised to find that the black Zetsu just now had actually stuck to his body, turning into a black arm and a black foot, and half of his body was also filled with black things. .

"Are you really a shadow?"

Obito started pacing around the toilet.

It's been a long time... I haven't felt this way for a long time...

Just like real hands and feet.

"This is just me helping you. If you want to get the hands and feet that truly belong to you, you need to..."

"Why are you helping me?"

"Because I happened to enter your shadow when you were pressed by the stone. Not only was this a coincidence, but I also saw the pain you were going through during this time, so I decided to help you. "

"Really? Thank you... But I don't need your help with the real limbs. I only need to wait ten years, and Tsunade-sama will help me renew them."

Although my body is still a little awkward, I can really walk.

The excitement on Obito's face was palpable.

"That's what they lied to you. As far as I know, no one else in the ninja world can do this except my master, even if it takes another ten or twenty years."

"I don't believe it! How could Lin lie to me? Tsunade-sama is so powerful. She even saved me like this."

"Then I will take you to see the truth, the truth of this world."

"Um, do you want to get out of the toilet now?"

"That's right, but before you go out, you have to put on a robe."

This is Konoha's headquarters, and Black Zetsu doesn't want to be exposed to others' sight.

"Oh, I'm really not suitable for Lin to see me like this."

Obito nodded, then put on a hooded clothes, only half of his face was exposed.

-

"Lin...it turns out she went to find this guy Hino."

Following Black Zetsu's guidance, Obito cleverly avoided the two ninjas who were monitoring him, and then quietly found Nohara Rin who was walking with Hino Hikari.

"Look, the girl you love is now in someone else's..."

"Don't talk nonsense, how could Lin do something like that! They were just shopping normally!"

Before Black Zetsu could finish speaking, Obito quickly retorted.

The word 'Lin is lying in someone else's arms' is obviously not there...

It's just holding Hino's hand. How can we hug each other?

Obito said angrily in his heart while subconsciously continuing to follow Hino Hikari and Nohara Rin.

-

"Hikari-kun!"

When Nohara Rin caught up with Hino Hikaru, the other party happened to be separated from Konan.

But that's fine too.

The girl walked out from behind Hino Hikari naturally, and then hugged the other person's right arm with both hands.

If no one disturbs her, she should be able to behave a little more intimately...right?

While hugging Hino Hikaru's arm, Nohara Lin nervously looked at the other person's cheek.

After discovering that the boy was just being surprised, the girl finally let go of her worries.

As expected, Hikari-san doesn’t hate me.

"Lin?"

Hino Hikaru had just finished treating Konan, who was blushing and heartbeating, and had just sent her away, and now she met Nohara Rin who was hugging her...

Is this the seamless transition of a scumbag?

No, no, no, he can't be a scumbag, so he shouldn't be able to say that.

"I happened to see you on the street and came over."

After testing Hino Hikaru's reaction, Nohara Lin reservedly let go of the other person's arm, then put her hands behind her back and talked about her recent daily life with a smile.

"By the way, I like the pendant you gave me last time. Shall I treat you to some meatballs? There is a nice new shop over there, and the black tea is delicious..."

"black tea?"

Hino Hikaru, who seemed to still feel the residual warmth in his stomach, instantly remembered the mistake he made with Kushina today.

"Don't like it?"

"No, it's not that I don't like it..."

Seeing the girl pulling her arm forward enthusiastically, Hino Hikaru had no choice but to push her forward and follow her.

-

"Now you should believe that she would lie to you, right?"

Not only did they have an intimate feeding play at the meatball shop, Obito and Kuro Zetsu also witnessed Nohara Rin taking the initiative to stand up on tiptoes and kiss Hino Hikaru on the cheek, and then ran away with a shy look on her face.

"The girl you like has betrayed you a long time ago."

"no……"

Although Obito's heart became cold and broken the moment he witnessed Nohara Rin taking the initiative to kiss Hino Hikaru, he still refuted Black Zetsu's words.

"Lin didn't betray me, she just liked her. No, she just had a temporary crush on someone else. After all, Hino saved her before."

Yes, that's right, it was just because of her savior that Lin had a crush on that guy Hino.

Maybe the cheek-to-cheek kiss just now was just an ordinary kiss of gratitude, not...

Obito was confused, but he still found excuses for Nohara Rin in his heart.

"Also, what if Lin falls in love with him? I just need to watch Lin silently... As I am now, I simply..."

"But she lied to you."

Black Zetsu didn't expect that at this time, Obito was still protecting Nohara Rin without getting angry or angry.

Does Uchiha actually have such "talent"?

"She didn't lie to me!"

Obito retorted even more fiercely.

"There is absolutely no way Lin would lie to me, even if she only sees me as a companion..."

Closing his eyes, Obito's mind was still filled with the scene of Nohara Rin standing on tiptoes and kissing Hino Hikari.

How much he liked that the person Nohara Rin was kissing was him, but it was a pity that he wasn't.

He could only hide aside silently, not even daring to show his face.

Half of her body is dark. If she appears like this, she will definitely scare Lin, right?

He thought so.

"If you don't believe it, let's find another person."

Black Zetsu could only helplessly take Obito to the next place.

-

Uchiha Mikoto was organizing a change of clothes for Itachi in the house, while thinking about her son's future.

If the Jinchuuriki's identity cannot be removed...

At least, like Kushina, she must no longer be hated and ostracized by the people in the village.

By the way, when Itachi's grounding is lifted in the future, let's ask Kushina to teach Itachi how to control the tailed beasts.

"Obito is missing?"

However, just when Uchiha Mikoto sighed in her heart and planned to get close to Kushina more in the future.

The two Uchiha ninjas who were responsible for guarding Obito suddenly rushed over.

"Yes, we didn't expect...he disappeared after entering the toilet..."

Even though one hand and one foot was missing, he was still able to escape their eyes and ears.

This made the two Uchiha ninjas feel ashamed.

"It doesn't matter. There shouldn't be any danger in the village. Obito probably felt bored, so he found an opportunity to escape your surveillance. You don't have to worry about him anymore in the future."

Now that the clan is in such chaos, Uchiha Mikoto no longer has time to care about Obito's affairs.

"Yes."

"However, Mikoto-sama, I heard someone say that it only takes ten years for Tsunade-sama to develop limbs that can be transplanted to humans. By then, Obito will be able to return to a normal life. Is this true? ?”

"There is no such thing. Tsunade-sama has never said that."

Uchiha Mikoto shook her head.

As the war lasted for many years, countless people lost their limbs and became disabled.

If Tsunade-sama could restore the severed limb, I'm afraid the whole of Konoha would spread the news like crazy.

"I have asked Tsunade-sama before, and she only said that it is theoretically possible, but in fact I don't know when it will be possible... In short, this kind of thing is too vague, don't make random guesses, or make false claims. Such rumors are spreading.”
