Konan nodded. The word "home" filled her with unexpected happiness.
Uchiha Yin watched her smile so goofily today and couldn't help finding it funny.
"All right. Since you're so happy, let's head back on foot!"
With that, he pushed off lightly and took Konan's hand, heading toward Konoha at an easy pace.

Obito Uchiha snorted. "Then I'll just have to create another opportunity."
Black Zetsu's expression turned mocking. "I hope you succeed!"
