Are you kidding me?

Under the soft light, Obito's voice was deep and submissive, "Okay, I'll be good." His gaze darted shrewdly across Koki's small face, searching for any changes in her emotions.

When he was sure that there was no displeasure on Koki's face, he carefully hummed a few times with a nasal tone, like a little animal seeking comfort, whimpering and gently rubbing against Koki's hair.

Luckily, Obito-nii didn't cry, or I would definitely have lost my temper, Koki thought expressionlessly.

But it likes to rub against people, it really does resemble a big dog.

It's quite intriguing that Obito, a seemingly carefree and easygoing person, reveals such a completely different side when drunk.

Koki's lips curled up slightly, forming a mysterious smile. He hoped that Obito would still remember everything that happened tonight, and he looked forward to seeing what Obito's expression would be when he woke up Obito.

"Okay, tell me what's making you sad?" Koki asked softly, his curiosity itching like a cat's.

People say "truth comes out when one is drunk," right? He didn't care if he would be even more heartbroken now; he had already cried in Obito's arms, and he wanted to see for himself what kind of immense grievances Obito was harboring.

Obito's eyes and nose were red from crying. He sniffed and said in a choked voice, "You... you're not allowed to laugh at me."

His eyes held a hint of pleading; he didn't want to reveal his vulnerability to others, yet he was also worried about disappointing Koki.

Torn between emotions, he could only settle for second best and beg Koki for a moment of leniency.

There was a resolute determination in Koki's words; his arm drew a resolute arc in the air, as if swearing to the heavens and earth. "Never, absolutely not!"

However, he quickly changed the subject, his voice tinged with a hint of mischief. "But let's get up first, this position doesn't seem quite right for you to talk to me." His body was already a little sore from lying down.

"Hmm." Obito nodded gently, and his hand finally loosened its grip.

"Alright, alright, finally they're free," Koki thought to himself with a sigh of relief. He quickly got off Obito, walked straight to the sofa, and plopped down on it.

Obito also stood up, following closely behind Koki's movements, and sat down next to him. His figure looked somewhat lonely under the lamplight.

"Obito-nii, can you move away from me a little? Don't you feel uncomfortable being so close?" Koki couldn't stand Obito's clinginess any longer, so he gently pushed Obito away.

Obito wasn't angry when he was pushed; he just looked at Koki with sad eyes, as if he were an abandoned child, his eyes filled with grievance.

Here it comes again, that pitiful look in his eyes, like a stray puppy. Koki smiled helplessly, a smile full of indulgence, "Fine, go ahead and lean on me, Obito-nii."

"Hmm." Obito's eyes immediately lit up, and he hugged Koki tightly.

Koki sighed softly, her eyes filled with helplessness.

"Alright, now tell me, what exactly happened?" Koki's voice carried a hint of concern.

It would have been better if he hadn't Obito, because upon hearing this question, Obito's eyes immediately welled up with tears again. He hugged Koki tightly, his voice choked with sobs, repeatedly muttering, "Rin, why won't you say yes to me? Why did you reject me...?"

Wow! A hint of curiosity flashed in Koki's eyes; he sensed a hint of gossip.

This was the second time Koki had heard Rin Nohara's name from Obito's mouth. He'd been thinking, what else could possibly make Obito so heartbroken besides Rin?

Koki is no stranger to Rin Nohara. Although she doesn't appear often, she is a key character in the entire Hokage anime. It was after witnessing Kakashi kill Rin that Obito became completely disillusioned with the boring Shinobi World, which led him to try to activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

The audience's initial impression and affection for Rin was shaped by Obito's deep and sincere emotions, as well as the heartwarming care he experienced.

That statement is absolutely correct.

In Obito's memories, Rin is almost a perfect being. From Obito's perspective, we see Rin's many virtues and charms, all of which Obito carefully felt and discovered.

The saying "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" perfectly describes this phenomenon. Following Obito's perspective, Koki naturally developed a special fondness and attention for Rin.

In the anime's story, Koki witnesses Rin's meticulous care for Obito. She is always attentive to Obito's feelings, comforts him when Obito, helps him when he misses the entrance ceremony and encounters difficulties, and remains steadfast and Obito him when he Obito his dreams.

What's even more touching is that Rin's promise to Obito wasn't just a fleeting passion, but a vow she upheld and fulfilled throughout her life. Even when facing life and death, she never abandoned her support and trust in Obito.

When the Three-Tails was sealed inside her, Koki witnessed another side of Rin; she wasn't just gentle.

In the Three-Tails incident, Rin reacted quickly, analyzed the situation, and ultimately decided to die at the hands of her beloved. She resolutely crashed into Kakashi, an act of desperation yet unwavering resolve.

As a ninja, Rin sacrificed her life to protect Konoha, upholding her ninja resolve until her last breath.

That's why it's hard not to be moved by Rin's character. We don't expect perfection from everyone, but at least Koki thinks Rin is a really good girl.

Thinking of this, Koki put away the teasing in her eyes, looked at Obito with a serious expression, and said earnestly, "Obito-nii, have you ever sincerely confessed your feelings to Rin-nee?"

Obito pondered for a moment, then shook his head in confusion, "N-no, I saw her on a date with Kakashi."

Good heavens! What kind of commotion is this?! Koki's mouth dropped open in shock, as if she'd heard something incredible. So this was actually a love triangle?

Obito liked Rin, Rin liked Kakashi, but what about Kakashi? Did he like Obito or Rin?

Koki, completely clueless about matters of the heart, looked helplessly at Obito, trying to comfort him, "Obito-nii, try to think positively. If you really like Rin-nee, find an opportunity to confess to her seriously! Yes! Confess to her!"

Koki became more and more excited as she spoke, "I'll go with you then and help you pick out a gift, okay?"

"I'm such a genius! This way, I can not only see Rin, but also get some gossip and satisfy my craving for gossip. It's killing two birds with one stone!" Koki smiled smugly to herself.

"Huh?" Obito's cheeks flushed slightly, and he turned his face away shyly, not daring to look directly at Koki. "But, I'm not really sure if I really like Rin anymore."

For some reason, when Obito heard Koki offer to accompany him to pick out a gift for Rin, he felt a strange sense of resistance.

"Is this even a lie?!" Koki's eyes widened, the question escaping her lips. You started the Fourth Shinobi World War for her, you were going to destroy the world, bro! And now you're telling me you don't even know if you really like Rin?

Are you kidding me?
