Koki this scene. He had never expected that his 'date' with Obito would cause such a stir.

He glanced at Obito, then at Kakashi, and finally could only shake his head helplessly.

Obito, on the other hand, seemed smug, as if celebrating that he had finally gained the upper hand in some aspect; at least for this moment, he seemed to have defeated Kakashi.

He said to Koki, "Then, let's have a date tomorrow. I'll prepare everything carefully."

Kakashi's previously calm face suddenly turned pale the moment he heard Obito's words.

A flicker of disbelief crossed his eyes, followed by a deep sense of loss and sorrow.

His lips trembled slightly, as if he were trying to suppress the emotions that were about to well up.

"So... it's true?" Kakashi's whisper was so soft it was almost inaudible, each word brimming with disappointment and helplessness.

So Koki really is going on a date with Obito. o(╥╥)o≧≦

Kakashi's gaze was distant and scattered, as if his soul had been struck by a sudden, heavy blow, leaving him disoriented.

He suddenly stood up, his posture upright, yet exuding an indescribable loneliness. With his back to Koki, his voice trembling slightly, he repeated what he had just said, "Then... then I hope you have fun."

His words were brief and cold, but every word revealed his heartache.

Kakashi's back view appeared lonely and vulnerable, his shoulders trembling slightly, and despite his best efforts to control himself, he could not completely conceal his emotions.

He walked away quickly, seemingly wanting to escape this place that caused him pain.

Koki stood there, stunned. He hadn't expected that his date with Obito would deal such a heavy blow to Kakashi.

What's wrong? Why is Kakashi acting like this?

He watched Kakashi's retreating figure, his heart filled with confusion and self-reproach.

He wanted to catch up and explain, but found himself at a loss for words.

Obito was also stunned by Kakashi's reaction; he had never seen Kakashi so vulnerable.

This idiot can look like this too?

He realized his joke might have gone too far. He looked at Koki, and the two remained silent, both able to feel the unease and remorse in each other's hearts.

Obito frozen in place, his gaze shifting, revealing a hint of hesitation.

His gaze followed the direction Kakashi disappeared in, and a strong urge rose within him to catch up with him and clarify to Kakashi that it was all just a misunderstanding.

Seeing Kakashi like this, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

"Perhaps I should catch up with him and explain all this," Obito whispered to Koki.

"Go ahead." Koki nodded gently, encouraging him.

However, just as he was about to take a step, Shisui's voice, like a bucket of cold water, woke him up.

"Obito-nii," Shisui's voice was calm yet firm. He gently but resolutely pressed down on Obito's shoulder, stopping him from moving forward.

"Let Kakashi-senpai have some peace and quiet. Right now, he probably craves solitude more than anything else," Shisui said slowly and deliberately.

After hearing Koki, Koki turned her gaze to Shisui, while Obito also turned around, his eyes full of confusion.

Shisui understood the questions in their eyes. He smiled slightly, a smile that concealed a hint of cunning.

"Believe me, Obito-nii, Kakashi-senpai isn't the kind of person who's easily discouraged. He just needs time to process his emotions."

In reality, Shisui harbored another secret thought.

This morning, when he saw Koki and Kakashi together, he experienced an unprecedented sense of anxiety and jealousy.

He knew this feeling shouldn't exist, but his emotions were like a wild horse, impossible to control.

Now, seeing Kakashi suffering because of a misunderstanding, Shisui's heart secretly blossomed with a hint of malicious pleasure.

He wanted Kakashi to also taste the bitterness of misunderstanding and jealousy.

However, Shisui did not reveal his true thoughts.

If Koki to perceive his true feelings, she would surely be disappointed by his actions.

Therefore, he chose to conceal his true intentions and use only a seemingly legitimate excuse to prevent Obito from explaining things to Kakashi.

Although Obito was somewhat unwilling, he gave up the idea of chasing after Shisui after being persuaded by Shisui.

Shisui glanced at Koki's still worried face and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He knew his actions were dishonorable, but he couldn't resist the urge to see Kakashi taste what jealousy was like.

Who told him to spend the whole day training with Koki?

Let Kakashi experience his state of mind today!

Shisui wore a gentle smile, her face radiant with a serene and serene expression.

He continued to gently rub Koki's tummy, and no matter how closely others looked, they could not see the dark thoughts in his heart.

Mikoto sat quietly to one side, her face always bearing a gentle, spring-like smile, like a lotus blooming in silence, unmoved by the surrounding wind and rain.

She witnessed everything that was happening before her with an almost sacred tranquility, without uttering a sound or showing any surprise or worry.

In the depths of her eyes, a serene tranquility transcending the mundane world was reflected, as if she already knew all the turmoil and noise before her.

As the storm subsided and Kakashi's figure receded into the distance, Obito, Koki, and Shisui fell into deep thought, before Mikoto slowly rose to her feet.

Her movements were light and graceful, like a gentle breeze, carrying no weight.

She went to the bathroom, and soon came out carrying Weasel, who had just finished bathing.

The weasel's little face was rosy, and its hair was still wet, exuding a fresh scent after its bath.

Mikoto gently placed Itachi into Koki's arms, her movements tender and full of maternal love, as if entrusting a precious treasure to someone she trusted.

"Koki, I'll leave it to you to take care of Itachi. I need to go upstairs to rest."

Mikoto's voice is warm and rhythmic, and her smile is like the rising sun, bringing endless warmth and comfort.

Koki took Itachi from her arms and carefully held her younger brother in her embrace. Looking at Itachi lying obediently in her arms, she said to Mikoto, "Don't worry, Mom, I'll take good care of Itachi."

"Okay, I'll go upstairs then." Mikoto nodded gently.

Her gaze swept lightly over Obito and Shisui, but she didn't say anything more. Then she turned around, gracefully ascended the stairs, leaving behind a series of peaceful footsteps.
