In the wind and rain.

The silver-haired man and the black-haired girl, who knew nothing about Uchiha Sasuke's return, stood quietly in front of the commemorative monument.

Uchiha opened her mouth several times, but she didn't know what to ask and how to ask. Because if everything was as Sasuke said, the memorial monument was a place for the living to find comfort, then...she rashly asked without permission

If you open your mouth, it will be easy to stab the person next to you, right?

Therefore, the first person to speak was Hatake Kakashi. He whispered: "The person I came to see is Obito - Uchiha Obito."

"...Hmm." Besides that, Uchiha didn't know what to say.

"Do you think we have a good relationship?"

"...Isn't it?" If not, there's no need to go out of his way to see the other person, right? If it was Sasuke's impromptu move like last night, it would be fine, but she had an intuition that the person in front of her should do this often.

"Actually... our relationship wasn't that good when he was alive." A wry smile appeared on Hatake Kakashi's face, "In other words, we 'separated' not long after the opportunity for change came.

It was like this the first time, and it was like this the second time." Then, a long, long time, let everything sprout, bloom, wither, bear fruit, and then ferment.

Everything has become what it is now.

"But, even so..." the black-haired girl said softly, "Kakashi-sensei still misses him..."

"...Hmm." Kakashi Hatake was silent for a while, then nodded, "I miss him every day, and visit him from time to time, and then, I think that after I am relieved of my duties as Hokage, I will travel out of the village and have a good time.

Take a look at the world, as he has done all these years."

"These years..." Sure enough... this "Uchiha Obito" didn't die in the "Night of Genocide" mentioned by Sasuke? What on earth...

"I know what you want to ask," Hatake Kakashi said again, "Did Sasuke promise you that he would give you an explanation?"

"……Um."

"Did he tell you who would be responsible for explaining it to you?"

"Why?"

"As expected, that boy..."

"...Kakashi-sensei?"

"Bring... Xiyan, before that, I want to confirm something with you."

"What?"

"No matter what, no matter what happens, you will never leave Sasuke's side, right?" Hatake Kakashi leaned down slightly, stared at the black-haired girl in front of him, and asked seriously, "No matter how old that kid is,

No matter how annoying he is with his bad temper, how annoying his temper, or how irritating his actions are, you will never leave him, right?"

"...Are you sure you are not scolding Sasuke?" Uchiha Oui couldn't help laughing, "Although, I agree."

Hatake Kakashi couldn't help but smile.

"Well." Uchiha nodded and replied equally seriously, "No one can promise forever, but at least for now, now, and for a long time in the future, I feel that Sasuke needs company. So, I will take good care of him.

By her side." Don't ask, asking is just a woman's intuition. It is absolutely impossible to leave the current Sasuke.

"Soga..." Kakashi Hatake rolled his eyes, "That's great..."

"What?"

"Such a promise."

"...Kakashi-sensei has never made such a promise to others or received such a promise?"

"Why do you ask that?"

"After all, you are so good."

"Well, maybe it's because I'm so good but I'm unlucky?"

"..."

"You're kidding." Hatake Kakashi stood up straight and looked sideways at the name on the memorial tablet. "I made a promise to others." Although it was after death, it was still a promise. He would take good care of it.

Persistent.

"Then, that person must be lucky." Uchiha said with certainty, because it is still the same sentence - after all, Kakashi-sensei is so good.

"Soga...then let's get down to business."

…

The sound of wind and rain became louder.

The remaining leaves on the tree paper made a rustling sound.

It completely blocked the voices of the two talking.

I don’t know how long it took...

"...I see, I understand." Uchiha nodded, then, after hesitating for a moment, he said again, "Kakashi-sensei, I...it's time to go back." If he doesn't go back, Sasuke and the others will definitely be worried.

.

"Yeah." Kakashi Hatake nodded in understanding, "Go back before night falls." As for him, he still had something to say to Obito. Well, he's here...

The Uchiha belt raised his hand and handed over the umbrella he had been holding: "Then, Kakashi-sensei, please accept this. Even if you come here to communicate with important people, please be sure to pay attention to your body. Otherwise,

If the other party is in the Pure Land, he will probably feel uneasy."

"Thank you." Hatake Kakashi stretched out his hand to take the umbrella that still had the body temperature of the person in front of him. He couldn't help laughing at himself, "Maybe that guy is not down there at all." Maybe he and Lin have been holding hands for a long time.

Going to be reincarnated... Well, this is a good thing. I don't know if I will encounter them when I walk around the ninja world in the future.

"I don't think so." Uchiha opened the other umbrella he bought at the same time, held it in his hand and walked into the rain curtain. He turned around and said with a smile, "Because even though Kakashi-sensei is very smart, he seems to be a fool as well.

With."

"..."

The black-haired girl looked at the silver-haired man's slightly widened eyes in surprise, and couldn't help but smile: "Just like Sasuke seems to be smart but is actually a fool, which makes people feel particularly uneasy, the other person... well, he must also think the same way.

Teacher Cassie’s.”

"..." Could it be that this is what he taught Sasuke again? Well, then, little Sasuke, the teacher is really sorry for you...

"Well, Kakashi-sensei, see you next time."

"See you next time."

After Uchiha bowed slightly and saluted, he left with the apricot-white umbrella in his hand. When she went to the store, there were no umbrellas left, so she took an apricot-white one and another one...

Orange.

She turned her head and looked at the silver-haired man standing in front of the memorial monument holding an umbrella.

That umbrella is like a ray of sunshine in the rain curtain.

It would be great if this ray of sunshine could really shine into Kakashi-sensei's heart.

If it keeps raining...

You can't be truly happy no matter what, right?

After walking out for a while...

There was some fluctuation on Uchiha's face. She walked forward quickly, and then without any surprise, she saw the red-haired girl standing quietly under the trees in front of her.

"...Xiang Lin, are you here to find me?" She continued to walk towards the other party quickly, and continued, "Fortunately, there are not many thunders in winter, otherwise, it would be very dangerous to stand under the tree on such a rainy day.

Oh." This is common sense that Sasuke told her~ Although, they have never encountered a thunderstorm since they met.

"Where have you been?" Xianglin looked at the girl who came to him with a slightly cold expression and asked, "Who were you with before?"

"..."

"Don't lie." Xianglin raised his hands, grabbed the collar of the person in front of him, and said through gritted teeth, "I can sense that the remaining 'aura' of that person on your body is Hatake Kakashi, right?

You were with him just now, and you have stayed together until now, and you missed the time to go back, and you missed the time for dinner. Are you so happy to be with him? It makes you forget everything so naturally!"

"..."

Uchiha's eyes widened slightly, not only because of these words, but also because she clearly felt that the person in front of her was angry. She quickly explained: "I am indeed with Kakashi-sensei, but..."

"But what?!"

Xianglin used a little force with her hands to directly push the back of the person in front of her to a nearby tree trunk. She leaned over and gritted her teeth and said, "So what do you think now? Do you feel that you are particularly happy to be with him, compared to being with Sasuke and us?"

Still want to be happy? Are you planning to abandon Sasuke and stay with him?"

"..." Ochiha Ochiha suddenly understood where the anger of the person in front of her came from. She suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, because it seemed that the three people in the Eagle Team were on the same ground as her. Then, she asked

He said, "If I say 'yes', Xianglin, what will you do?"

"..." The red-haired girl was speechless for a moment. Yes, what does she want to do? What can she do? If Sasuke decides, and the person in front of him also decides, then, even if she doesn't want to, what can she do?

She could accept it. Thinking of this, she suddenly felt aggrieved, and tears instantly flowed down her fair cheeks.

...Why is it always like this? Something is being taken away again and again.

"...I'm just asking." Uchiha was frightened. Her intention was never to make the person in front of her cry. She quickly raised her hand to wipe her face, "Don't cry..."

"Don't touch me!" the red-haired girl even choked up and yelled, "You are a heartless, excessive and shameless woman!" There is no such thing! You keep saying you want to stay with Sasuke and then in the blink of an eye you fall in love with someone else!! This is too much!
