This Matter Doesn't Require You

At Uchiha Apricot's words, Kakashi was slightly taken aback.

Rin Nohara's disappearance had been far too sudden; there hadn't even been the slightest fluctuation in Konoha's barrier.

What could Uchiha Apricot possibly do?

Yet Uchiha Apricot's strength made her feel that Apricot wasn't joking.

"What can you do?"

"I promised my companion that I would protect Rin..."

"If you can truly do it and find Rin..."

"From now on, as long as it is something I can do, I will absolutely follow your instructions."

Uchiha Apricot didn't take it...
