In the end, Obito didn't give an answer.

That's how people are. Many times, even they themselves don't know what they will do or what choices they will make until the last moment when they actually face the problem.

The late night visit was an unannounced interruption. This was obviously a very unwelcome uninvited guest, but Hanami believed that today's Nohara couple would forgive their sudden visit.

What neither Hanami Akira nor Obito expected was that when they arrived at Nohara's house, except for the child Naoko who was sleeping soundly, the other two adults were still awake.

Not only that, the two people were sitting in the courtyard drinking tea very leisurely. There were even three cups on the table.

"It seems that the real uninvited guest is me."

"What?"

"They are waiting for your arrival... I don't know if they intuitively know you are coming today, or if it has been like this every day for a while."

Hana Jianming thought so and winked at Obito.

"It's your turn."

"...Maybe, this, I think you might be able to..."

"No, I can't."

"I think……"

"I don't want you to feel it, I want me to feel it."

"Merlin" frowned, looked at the hesitant Obito, and kicked him directly.

I don't know if Obito's mind was wandering, but he didn't even have time to activate the virtual defense, so he flew directly into the Nohara house with a certain classic and famous goose falling on the flat sand, and crashed directly into the yard.

At this moment, it seemed as if the ground was shaking.

Kakashi, who was hiding in the dark, held his forehead and shook his head, then subconsciously smiled.

'This feels really familiar, and it's really your style Obito!'

If Obito knew this, he would definitely refute that he has turned dark and turned into a ruthless villain. This kind of charlatan character has been abandoned by him long ago!

Oh, it's not like he completely abandons it. Occasionally, he will use this part of his personality to disguise it.

After all, he is the big boss behind the scenes who wants to hide his identity. His apparent identity needs to be funny so that no one will discover his true nature.

Now, Obito's heart is broken.

This was not the way he imagined saying goodbye to his father-in-law and mother-in-law (crossed out)!

Suddenly there was silence in the air.

When seeing a familiar person bump into him in such a funny way, the Nohara couple, who were still a little unfamiliar with him, regained a sense of familiarity.

Mrs. Nohara showed a concerned expression, and Mr. Nohara, who was trying to keep a straight face, couldn't help but feel a little dazed and seemed to relax a little when he saw this scene.

"Are you OK?"

"No, it's okay..."

"Humph, of course he's fine! What's in trouble is our yard!"

Mr. Nohara's tone must have been much colder than Mrs. Nohara's gentle greeting.

"We have been waiting for you for so long, and you have only come here now. It really makes you feel better and better!"

Mr. Nohara is not very strong, but at this time, his aura and natural identity (quasi-father-in-law?) directly overwhelmed the big boss Obito with the Mangekyo Sharingan, and he could only bow his head and listen to the training.

.

"It seems that the only improvement you have made over the years is that your body has become stronger! Every time you appeared like this in the past, you were always injured, so Lin..."

At this point, he suddenly became silent.

Mr. Nohara looked at the big crater in the courtyard and Obito, who was completely fine except for a little dust on his body. He somehow recalled the scenes from the past.

He thought that after so many years, his little daughter had grown up, and he had forgotten those things.

But in fact, if you really want to recall it, everything is still vivid in your mind.

At that time, Obito would fall and get injured all the time, and Rin would gently help treat him. Obito, on the other hand, would say "It's okay, it's okay" while showing his teeth in pain, and let Rin surround him.

Ask about the cold and warmth.

Many times, this made Mr. Nohara suspect that Obito was deliberately using the "bitter flesh trick", but looking at the other party's stupid and stunned look, it didn't seem like it.

So every time, Mr. Nohara couldn't figure out whether he was beating up this "shameless, scheming brat" or teaching an "empty-headed idiot".

However, all this has passed, and now, no one is hanging around this bastard boy——

"Wife, you..."

"Okay, okay, this is not this child's fault."

Just when Mr. Nohara was thinking that no one would take care of Obito this time, Mrs. Nohara walked over in person, patted the dust on Obito's body, took out a handkerchief and wiped his face.

Because of the posture just now, the Uzumaki mask worn by Obito had fallen off, revealing a face that looked tortured at first sight.

At that time, half of Obito's body was crushed. In order to save him, Obito Uchiha injected Hashirama cells into him to maintain his life. However, this also made half of Obito's face look terrifying.

Ugly wrinkles.

"You've suffered a lot, haven't you? It's been really hard."

"Lin...no, Aunt Nohara..."

At this moment, the heart that had been frozen since Lin's death seemed to tremble, and Obito quickly covered his face.

"No, don't look-"

This is not what Obito wants to show them.

"Merlin, you bastard! Where are you going to hide and watch the show for how long?!"

"Merlin?"

If Obito's appearance was expected by the Nohara couple, the addition of an unfamiliar name made them subconsciously vigilant.

"Oh my, I just saw that you were reminiscing about old times and couldn't bear to disturb you. It really hurts my heart to be insulted by you like this."

Merlin made a sad look and slowly appeared in the courtyard.

When his feet touched the ground, bright flowers bloomed with him as the center on the originally sparse and almost bare courtyard land.

Hanami Akira's cosplay is very attentive. This is the special effect that Merlin must bring when he appears. Every time he has the idea of ​​floating flower petals!

Moreover, another advantage of doing this is...

"My name is Merlin. I'm just a nobody worth mentioning. You don't have to pay attention to me at all."

"..."

The Nohara couple frowned silently and looked at Obito at the same time.

Of course, they were more willing to believe Obito than this strange guy who didn't know who he was.

No matter how cruel Mr. Nohara said, deep down in his heart, he recognized this child who had a kind heart since he was a child and could even help an old woman cross the road.

In other words, Mr. Nohara also subconsciously felt that Obito, who had been a good boy since childhood, would never become any worse even if he went astray.

No matter what, at least to the couple, Obito was indeed harmless.

Like now, Obito has told all the "real" information outright, without any intention of hiding it - of course, it might be better if this information is truly reliable.

"He is a member of the Senju clan. You can tell by his appearance, right? They are also dissatisfied with the current situation in Konoha. This time, thanks to his help..."

Obito hesitated for a moment when he said this, he didn't know what to say about Lin.

This is a kind of harm to the Nohara couple. Likewise, he is also afraid. What should he do if they refuse to let Lin see him again?

"Really~ I never said I was from the Senju Clan! It's all labels you put on me without permission. It's really distressing!"

"Merlin" shook his head, looking very troubled, but no one present took it seriously.

The Nohara couple looked at each other and then at the flowers... I heard that the Wood Release of the Senju Clan can induce the growth of plants!

By the way, the name Senju Meilin, with so many "woods" in it, is indeed the style of the Senju clan!

"Merlin" blinked.

He really didn’t say that he was from the Thousand Hands Clan!
