Obito stared at the wooden sculpture in Lin's arms. The whole figure was nailed to the spot as if it had been split by Lightning Release.
His mind went blank, except for his mouth, which was grinning wildly from ear to ear, as if Erha only saw flesh and bones.
On the old camphor tree above his head, Ye looked at this silly face through the lens of Recording Camera, and curled his lips in disgust.
"He's smiling like a fool. I, Recording Camera, can hardly take a picture of his face with such a low IQ."
Night complained.
Kakashi leaned against the tree trunk, rolled his eyes, and shrank his face into his collar.
"Coming here early in the morning to work as a love security guard for this guy, the sour taste of love is already enough to choke people."
The atmosphere under the tree was getting thicker, and Lin took out a thin red rope from her pocket that she had prepared at some time.
In front of Obito, she walked through the wood carving, which was full of pits and the inferior glue almost spilled out. Her movements were extremely natural.
The end of the red rope was still stained with the green color of herbs. She carefully tied it into a tight knot and hung it on the side of her medical kit without hesitation.
The warm morning breeze blew by, and the wooden sculpture swayed twice in the wind, and actually merged with the medical box.
Obito stared at the crack, his eyes quickly heating up.
"Lin, thank you."
Lin raised her face and pointed at the wound at the corner of his mouth that had not yet subsided.
"Don't always use yourself to block knives from now on."
"I will change it!"
Obito answered quickly.
Lin looked at him and then added.
"Let's start by not fighting Kai."
Obito The smile on his face stopped, and then rose again after a while.
"Yesterday was a special situation and it definitely cannot be counted."
After saying that, Obito gathered up the courage and prepared to hold Lin's slender fingers with trembling hands.
Ye in the tree suddenly felt that his sugar intake was seriously excessive, and he couldn't stand it any longer.
He deliberately slipped his fingers and pressed hard on the gear of Recording Camera.
"Click!"
This crisp mechanical sound was simply louder than the Explosive Tag landing in the quiet park.
Lin turned around sharply, and the pink bubbles in Obito's eyes burst instantly, leaving nothing behind.
Three-Tomoe Sharingan spun wildly, looked up at the crown of the old camphor tree, and his blood pressure shot straight up to Tianling Gai!
"I knew it! How long have you two been squatting up there?!"
Obito was so angry that he was shaking all over, pointing at the crown of the tree and roaring.
Ye jumped down from the tree with Recording Camera in his arms, the soles of his shoes landed firmly on the stone road, he patted the corners of his clothes, his face full of righteousness.
"Don't get me wrong, we are just Konoha ecological observers who happened to be passing by."
Kakashi followed the landing, moved half a step to the side very skillfully, and decisively drew a clear line.
"Don't look at me, he insists on using you as experimental material."
Obito stared at the still running machine in Ye's hand, the smile on his face completely disappeared, and he almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
"When did you start recording?"
Ye hid the machine behind his back, his face full of pride, and he answered very calmly.
"We've been here since you wiped the bench until your face showed through."
He shook Recording Camera and continued to hit.
"Obito, this film was sent to the village radio station and played on the big screen in a loop. It will definitely break the record."
"You don't want your stammering confession to be watched by the whole village, right?"
This time, Obito did not let go.
He took a step forward and held Lin's hand, the warmth coming from his palm was very clear.
The veins on Obito's neck popped out, and his chin was raised even higher than Hokage Rock's, and he was even more imposing.
"Show it! You go ahead and show it on the big screen! I'm afraid of you!"
He held Lin tightly, his arrogance soared into the sky, and loudly declared his sovereignty.
"I have a partner now, it's justifiable!"
"You two singles who have never even touched a girl's hand, you know nothing about romance! Two hard-core old bachelors, just stand here and envy you to death!"
The system prompt sounded like firecrackers immediately.
[Ding! Grievance Points from Uchiha Ye, +666!]
[Ding! Guard-Break Points from Kakashi Hatake, +404!]
The fake smile on Ye's face couldn't be held back, and Kakashi's dead eyes widened.
They hunt geese all day long, and today they were choked to death by the geese with dog food!
Kakashi turned around and left, walking much faster than usual.
"The wind is really warm today."
Ye followed behind, his face so dark that he could squeeze out water.
"Warm your ass, it's too much dog food."
Obito held Lin's hand and watched the two singles leaving in disgrace, and couldn't help but grin.
"They seem to have been hit?"
"They deserve it, who keeps them single?"
Lin answered very naturally.
After saying this, Obito laughed first, and Lin also laughed.
The two of them walked along the stone road towards the Medical Department. Many passers-by looked at them sideways, but Obito didn't care at all and never let go of their hands.
For Obito, this step is more important than winning a battle.
The quiet Medical Department pharmacy is filled with the aroma of medicine.
Lin put the medicine basket on the wooden table.
"Put Coptis chinensis on the left and licorice on the right. Make a clear distinction before proceeding."
"Leave it to me!"
Obito immediately rolled up his sleeves and clumsily helped sort.
After half a quarter of an hour, the medicinal materials on both sides were all in chaos.
His mind was filled with the feeling of holding hands just now, and he accidentally mistook coptis for licorice.
Lin picked up a piece of coptis and brought it to Obito.
"You can't even tell the bitter taste?"
Obito smelled it and his face slowly fell.
"They are both bitter, I can't taste the difference."
Lin couldn't help but laugh, picked up the pen holder and tapped the back of his hand lightly.
"Ask me before you divide the medicine. I will teach you carefully."
Obito nodded seriously and put the medicinal materials back into their place one by one.
He moved very slowly, but his eyes always drifted towards Lin.
The sunlight fell into the room and just hit the cracked wood carving pendant.
It was quietly attached to the side of the medical box, witnessing the warmth and rawness of the two finally crossing that line.
When the pharmacy became quiet, an uninvited guest had already arrived outside the Konoha main entrance.
The sound of wheels rolling over the melting water came from far away, and a luxurious carriage slowly approached, with the Daimyō's Office of the Land of Fire coat of arms embroidered on the curtains.
Daimyō's Office of the Land of Fire's special envoy got out of the car, holding a heavy military bill tightly in his hand.
He was wrapped in a thick snow fox fur coat, with a face full of arrogance and disdain, and regarded the ninjas here as servants he hired with money.
Before coming here, Daimyō specifically explained that Konoha has been moving frequently recently and must be hammered.
He came here nominally to inspect Geothermal Engineering this time, but in fact he came to look for trouble.
Prepare to use the big stick of cutting military expenditures to severely beat these rough guys who only know how to fight and kill.
As soon as the carriage passed through Konoha Gate, a steaming heat wave hit the special envoy's face directly.
The special envoy was covered in a thick fox fur coat and was covered in white hair and sweat. He was terribly uncomfortable.
He opened the car curtain angrily and was about to curse, but all his scolding words were stuck in his mouth, and he stopped beside the car's shaft.
There was not a drop of snow on the street.
The dead trees on the roadside have sprouted new green shoots!
Several Konoha citizens, wearing thin autumn clothes and even holding popsicles in their hands, were chasing the mission!
The special envoy stared at the cold popsicle, his face gradually turning pale.
"What time of year is it now?"
The accompanying civil servant hurriedly opened the calendar, wiping the sweat dripping from his forehead, and his voice was shaking.
"On the first day of the first lunar month, according to the Land of Fire calendar, it is still the middle of winter..."
"Is this Genjutsu?"
The special envoy's world view suffered a devastating blow at this moment, his mind went blank, sweat slid down his cheeks into his collar, and he finally asked those words.
