At seven o'clock in the morning, a thin layer of white water vapor floated on Konoha Park's lawn.
The appointed time last night was nine o'clock, and the sky had not yet fully opened up. Obito was already guarding the entrance to the park.
Geothermal Pipelines continuously sends out heat flow underground, and the remaining snow turns into thin water lines along the stone road.
The earth and new grass smell moist due to the heating, which really means that spring has arrived in advance.
He deliberately put on a new dark coat and ironed it three times last night.
The threads emerging from the corners of the clothes were also cut cleanly, and the creases in the trouser legs were so neat that they could cut your hands.
But no matter how neat the clothes were, they couldn't cover the two black spots under the goggles.
Obito After standing for too long, my legs were so tight that I almost forgot how to bend my knees when walking.
There was an old bench in the center of the park. He looked around and finally selected it.
Obito squatted down, took out the handkerchief from his pocket, and wiped the chair surface back and forth several times.
But he still felt that there was dust hidden in the cracks of the wood, so he simply rolled up his sleeves and continued to rub the inside of his coat.
Ten minutes passed, and he wiped the originally dark chair surface to a shiny wooden sheen.
Obito looked down at the tense face in the wood grain and cleared his throat.
"Lin, actually this has always been..."
As soon as he started speaking, his brows knitted together.
This word is so old that it sounds like a thank-you speech at the end of a mission report.
Obito changed the explanation and tried again.
"Lin, would you like to..."
He closed his mouth first.
This sentence carries so much weight that Konoha Park hasn't even arrived yet, and the wedding scene has already been set up in his mind.
Asuma Those few words of instruction from last night were still ringing in his ears. The more he wanted to follow them, the more he could not utter even a single smooth word.
His right hand reached into his pocket, and his fingertips touched the wood carving that had been repaired with inferior glue. The sweat on his palm quickly made the wood wet.
The wood carving was barely recognizable as a medical kit, with a pair of goggles carved on the side, but the corners were ragged, the cracks were not hidden, and the glue even bulged out from the gaps.
Obito stared at it for a while, and the base of his ears began to feel hot again.
More and more people were doing morning exercises. Some were walking along the stone road, some were passing by carrying breakfast, and there were also a few children running all over the ground chasing the melted snow water.
Obito The clothing material on his back was soaked with cold sweat and a small dark patch appeared.
What he was most afraid of was that as soon as Lin arrived, someone would come over and ask.
"Young man, I'm waiting for the girl here."
If an acquaintance calls his name in a loud voice, he will bury himself under the roots of the old camphor tree today.
Obito didn't notice that in the crown of the old camphor tree at the side and behind, Ye and Kakashi were already squatting on the thickest horizontal branch.
The two of them had their backs against the tree trunk, their figures completely covered by the branches and leaves. In Ye's hand, he was holding a small Recording Camera that had been eliminated from Orochimaru's Laboratory, and was adjusting the focus.
"Historic moment."
Ye held the words in her throat and put her fingers on the edge of Recording Camera.
"Pure Love Warrior's first battle record. When Obito gets married, I will cut this part into a photo reel and show it to the whole village at the wedding."
Kakashi huddled next to it, a dead leaf fell on its white hair, and its dead eyes almost rolled out of the tree crown.
"You even made a special trip home to get this thing."
Ye was about to reply when Obito under the tree suddenly turned his face.
Three Tomoes circled in his eyes, and his gaze glanced towards the branches and leaves above his head.
Kakashi's fingers got stuck in the bark of the tree, and even his shoulders tightened.
Obito In this state, his perception is actually better than usual.
I didn't move at all during the night, but Recording Camera was still firmly in my hand.
"Don't panic, I've collected Chakra."
"Hyuga Clan Standing here, I can only see an old tree that is old enough."
Obito stared for a moment, and finally attributed the sound of branches and leaves to the morning breeze, raised his hand to tangle his hair, and turned back to the bench.
Kakashi then let go of the bark, leaving a shallow mark on his palm.
Ye took out a small bag of stones from Ninja Tools bag and took out two.
"Clear the place."
Kakashi stared at the bag of stones, his eyelids twitching.
Ye flicked her fingers, and two pebbles came out of the branches and leaves one after another. One fell into the gramophone movement, and the other knocked over the thermos cup that the dancing aunt had placed on the ground.
The gramophone turntable was still spinning, but the music was silent.
The aunt ran to the side after the cup lid that rolled away. People doing morning exercises gathered around to watch the fun, and several children followed her.
After a while, a large area of space around the bench was vacated, leaving only the stone pavement that was moistened by the heat.
Kakashi After reading this set, he raised his hand and pressed his forehead.
The assassination skills of top ninjas were used by Ye to make room for Obito to fall in love. Looking at the entire Shinobi World, there is no second copy.
The sun passed over the eaves outside the park, and it was nine o'clock.
Lin walked along the stone road from the entrance. She was dressed in neat beige uniforms and her long hair was tied up in a plain-colored headband. She walked slowly but without any hesitation.
Obito The moment he saw her, all the words he had memorized all morning disappeared from his mind.
He stood up too hastily, his knees hit the edge of the chair, his legs and feet were in disarray, and even the two steps he took when he walked out were in a straight line.
The heat spread from my cheeks to my neck.
Lin walked up to him and looked at his appearance, unable to hide the smile on her lips.
"Good morning."
"Good morning..."
Obito stumbled while answering, leaving his right hand in his pocket, touching the wood carving with his fingertips, but he didn't dare to take it out.
The wooden carving exposed half an inch of the pocket, and then was stuffed back. After three attempts, Obito was already sweating on his forehead.
Ye Ye on the tree held Recording Camera, holding in his cheeks sorely.
Kakashi tilted his head and covered half of his face with his palms. He no longer wanted to see this torture.
Obito closed his eyes, held the wooden sculpture with both hands, straightened his elbows, and finally handed it to Lin.
When the wooden sculpture saw the light of day, Obito first wanted to find a tree and hit it.
The crack that had been filled with sawdust and glue was shiny, and there were still burrs on the wood surface that had not been cleaned. It looked shabby no matter how you looked at it.
His fingers were numb, and the courage he had just built up was shrinking little by little.
It's over.
After giving this gift, he might not even be able to hold his head up in front of Lin.
Obito was about to stop his hand when a soft hand covered the back of his hand.
Lin took half a step forward and gently pressed his fingers with her palms. Obito had no room to shrink her hand.
She lowered her head to look at the crooked wooden carving, without showing any disdain on her face, and slowly stroked her fingertips along the crack that had been repaired with glue.
Lin's eyebrows gradually relaxed.
"Obito, this crack has been repaired very well."
She touched the slanting crack.
"It reminds me of the strap that holds the medicine belt on the medical kit. The stitches were crooked once, but I kept it."
Lin took the wooden carving from Obito's palm, carefully put it into her arms, and then lowered her head to look at the pair of goggles with carvings of different shades next to her.
"This is also very cute."
Obito stood there with his eyes wide open.
Lin raised her face and gave him the answer clearly.
"I accept your wishes."
