I, who was determined to stay in Naruto, became the white moonlight

Looking at the fear and pleading on his face, Uchiha Obito's anger grew even stronger, and his teeth were grinding.

"You... damn it!"

He couldn't bear it any longer and punched Hatake Kakashi on the left cheek with great force.

There was a loud thud and Kakashi Hatake's head was knocked to the side.

After his collar was thrown away by Uchiha Obito, he hesitated several steps to the right before he could barely steady himself.

Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth and was absorbed by the inky black mask.

Out of the corner of his eye he saw Uchiha Obito turning around to leave, and Hatake Kakashi ignored the pain on his face and quickly stepped forward to hold him back.

"Tell me clearly! Who is she?"

Angered by his persistent attitude, Uchiha Obito looked fierce and punched him again.

This time he used up almost all of his strength, and Kakashi Hatake was knocked to the ground, unable to get up for a while.

When Uchiha Obito left, he only left one sentence.

"You have no right to think of her."

Dark clouds covered the earth, casting an even more depressing grey hue on all the inner pain.

The drizzle gradually became heavier, like transparent beads hitting my body one by one, soothing the burning cheeks but chilling me to the bone.

In the heavy rain, Hatake Kakashi slowly stood up and let the rain wash over his body.

Rain is holy and can wash away all the sins and ugliness in the world.

But it cannot wash away the guilt and regret that come without reason.

A loud thunder exploded from the sky, and he finally struggled out of his confused thoughts, walking stiffly step by step in the opposite direction of Uchiha Obito.

He should keep it secret...

He promised to keep it a secret.

The next day, news came that Uchiha Obito was missing.

Later, every time Kakashi Hatake went out on a mission, he would keep an eye out for him.

More than ten years have passed, and there is still no news.

It was so long that only he and Nohara Rin insisted on looking for Uchiha Obito, and it was so long that he accepted Namikaze Minato's proposal to serve as a mentor.

It’s been so long... that he has forgotten who he comes to the memorial to see every day.

Today is a sunny day with gentle breeze and the white flowers in front of the monument look even more holy under the sunlight.

Hatake Kakashi was silent for a few seconds, then turned and left.

……

"Oh my god, Kakashi-sensei is late again."

In the morning, Haruko kicked the stones under her feet, feeling a little bored of waiting.

Naruto Uzumaki with a wrinkled face was obviously the most impatient one waiting. He squatted on the ground, squinting his eyes, like an angry little fox.

He declared fiercely: "I'll ask him to treat us to the most expensive barbecue later!"

"Barbecue?" Uchiha Sasuke, who had his hands in his pockets, raised his eyebrows. "Aren't we going on a mission today?"

"Didn't Naruto tell you?"

Uchiha Sasuke and Hayama Haruko both looked at Uzumaki Naruto who was squatting on the ground with a confused look on his face.

"Ahem." Uzumaki Naruto blushed slightly, stood up and scratched his head, "Well... I forgot."

He was in a hurry to see Haruko and had no time to explain to Tomato Head!

In the morning, Haruko smiled helplessly, turned her head to look at Uchiha Sasuke, and gave him a thumbs up in tacit understanding with Uzumaki Naruto.

"To celebrate that Sasuke is no longer isolating us, let's go have a barbecue together!"

"Huh?" Uchiha Sasuke's eyes narrowed.

Looking at the identical silly looks on their faces, he swallowed the harsh words with difficulty.

Forget it, I won’t bother with Haruko and the idiot.

The double standards in his heart are enough to make the golden retriever roar three times.

"Haruko, Sasuke, and Naruto?"

Nara Shikamaru took a few steps towards them.

Seeing that the three of them were there, looking like they were waiting, I knew that they were waiting for Kakashi Hatake, who was notoriously late.

"Oh! Isn't this Shikamaru!"

Uzumaki Naruto greeted him happily, and when he saw a blonde girl following him, his eyes suddenly lit up with gossip.

He moved closer to Nara Shikamaru's left side, poked him with his elbow, and teased, "Are you dating?"

"certainly not!"

Nara Shikamaru's dead fish eyes flickered, and he glanced at Hayami Haruko opposite him with a little panic.

Nara Shikamaru felt that Uzumaki Naruto's ambiguous eyes were annoying, so he pushed him back unceremoniously, "I was only ordered to send the people from Sunagakure back."

"Sunagakure?"

Hearing the familiar name, Uzumaki Naruto leaned his head out and took a closer look at Temari, who had one hand on her waist.

"Naruto, have you forgotten? We met before during the Chunin Exams. She is Gaara's sister Temari."

Haruko walked up to Temari and shook her hand with a smile.

Seeing that she was full of joy and had no other reaction, Nara Shikamaru pursed his lips and continued to explain himself.

"The Chunin Exams are coming up soon, and I've had the trouble of becoming a staff member, so she and I are traveling between Sunagakure and Konoha."

Unexpectedly, he, who was afraid of trouble, was so anxious to explain. Temari immediately understood what he was thinking.

A sly smile appeared on his face as he mentioned his brother deliberately.

"Actually, Gaara wanted to come to Konoha to find you, but the Kazekage hasn't been feeling well lately, so he had to stay behind to guard Sunagakure."

As soon as Temari said this, the three boys around her looked at her with strange eyes, but her expression remained unchanged. She even pulled Haruko Hayama and said that she would come to Sunagakure to play when she had time.

Not noticing their strangeness, Haruko Asagi nodded.

"Okay, we'll go to Sunagakure to find you guys when we're free."

Unable to bear the happy atmosphere between the two of them, Uzumaki Naruto pursed his lips and tried to attract their attention.

"What's that in your hand, Shikamaru?"

When Uzumaki Naruto mentioned this, everyone looked at Nara Shikamaru.

Nara Shikamaru casually put his left hand in his pocket and raised the jar he had been holding with his right hand so that they could see it clearly.

There are many colorful lollipops in the not-so-big glass jar, which shine with colorful light under the reflection of sunlight, like a gorgeous rainbow put into the jar.

"It's a lollipop for Asuma."

"Lollipop?"

Unexpectedly, it was for Asuma Sarutobi. Haruko was a little confused in the morning.

"When did Asuma eat candy? Doesn't he always have a cigarette in his mouth?"

Nara Shikamaru's expression was even more strange than hers, "Where did you hear that? Asuma never smokes."

Hearing the certainty in his tone, Haruko Zaoma became uncertain.

"Did I remember it wrongly..."

And Uzumaki Naruto, who was standing aside and ready to make a move, looked even more pouty.

I just wanted to attract Haruko's attention in the morning, but I didn't expect that Nara Shikamaru would start talking to her.

The simple-minded golden retriever puppy was scratching his head anxiously.

Uchiha Sasuke, who was watching everything from behind: Idiot.

"Hey, you guys should be leaving soon."

Uchiha Sasuke walked forward and stood behind Haruko Hayashi. He was a bit taller than Haruko Hayashi, and this position gave people the illusion that Haruko Hayashi was in his arms.

The rhyming appearance of the two of them with black hair and black eyes makes them seem to be a perfect match.

Nara Shikamaru looked at him for a few seconds, restrained the emotions in his eyes, and waved at them weakly.

"gone."

Looking at their receding backs, Uzumaki Naruto, with shining eyes, ran up to the two of them with excitement.

"Sasuke you are so rude!"

But the excited expression on his face didn't seem like he was blaming Uchiha Sasuke at all.

Instead, it sounded like he was praising what he said.

Uchiha Sasuke: ...

Morning Haruko:?
