"Rin..."
Bathed in the hazy moonlight, Uchiha Obito stood quietly before a Memorial Stone in Konoha's cemetery.
Ever since arriving in Konoha, aside from observing Uchiha Itachi's condition every day, he came here on time every night.
He gazed at the familiar photograph on the stone and the girl's bright smile, unchanged from years ago.
Obito felt as though he had returned to that time—a time when war raged constantly, yet he himself remained ignorant and naïve.
He felt he had so, so many things he wanted to say to Rin, but every time he came here, he couldn't get a single word out.
Perhaps it was only here that he could feel the peace in his heart that truly belonged to him.
"Wait for me, Rin..."
"I'll definitely create a world without war, a world where tragedies like yours will never happen again..."
Obito murmured softly as he bent down and reached out to touch the Memorial Stone.
However, he suddenly stopped. A trace of displeasure appeared on the face beneath his mask.
"What kind of lunatic comes here in the middle of the night?"
After all, half his body was made of White Zetsu, so his sensory abilities weren't bad. Naturally, he could sense someone approaching.
But coming at this hour—wasn't that interrupting his time alone with Rin?
Although he was annoyed, he could only snort and prepare to leave. After all, he had no intention of exposing himself to everyone yet.
"Hm?"
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly stopped.
Because the person who had come was none other than that fellow Kakashi...
"Honestly, why would they come here in the middle of the night..."
Inside Konoha's cemetery, Naruto couldn't help muttering under his breath as he walked beside Hyuga Makoto, Kakashi, and Jiraiya.
