The little boy immediately turned around. When he saw who had come, his face flushed slightly. "Rin... why are you here?"
Seeing his reaction, Rin smiled faintly. "It's lunchtime. Why aren't you eating?"
"I'm not hungry," the little boy said, but the moment the words left his mouth, his stomach rumbled unwillingly.
"I..."
He smiled awkwardly and scratched his head before taking out a few pieces of dry bread from his pocket and eating them.
As he ate, Rin giggled at him.
"How can you keep eating that? You're still growing."
Rin took the dry bread from his hand and handed him the carefully prepared lunch she had been hiding behind her back.
When the little boy saw it, he froze for a moment, his black eyes rippling with emotion.
"Don't just stand there. Hurry up and eat." Rin smiled gently, taking Obito to sit on a bench at the training ground.
"Rin... why are you so nice to me?" The little boy held the lunchbox in his hands, his voice slightly hoarse.
Although he came from a noble family, he was an orphan, and his talent as a ninja was not particularly outstanding.
The people of his clan saw him as trash, and so did those around him. Only the girl before him had always treated him well.
Hearing this, Rin's large eyes curved into crescents as she smiled. "Because you said you'd always protect me. If you don't eat properly and have no strength to train, how will you protect me?"
The little boy's eyes widened slightly before the look in them gradually turned firm. "Rin, don't worry. I'll protect you. I want to become Hokage, so no one will dare bully you!"
"Alright, I believe you. Now eat!" Rin replied with a smile.
