It wasn't that Uchiha Yin wasn't affectionate with Konan. She had simply been too young back then, and he hadn't wanted to make a move on her.
Though Konan wasn't exactly much older now, either.
Well, perhaps she was a little more grown-up than he'd thought?
At first, Konan hadn't understood her feelings for Uchiha Yin. She'd mistaken them for the affection she felt toward an older brother.
After entering the Ninja Academy and realizing how she truly felt about him, Konan had rarely dared to act so intimate with him.
Seeing Kushina, Mikoto, and the others cling to Uchiha Yin's arm always left her envious.

"All right. Watch closely." Uchiha Yin
