Naruto's Great Trick

Chapter 159 Lin's Feelings

The wine glass stopped at the corner of his mouth.

"Before, Konoha's Iwagakure battle zone was defeated, and we received a mission to cut off the Iwagakure supply line: Kannabi Bridge..."

As Kakashi told the story, Kazama roughly understood the cause and effect - it was similar to the original work.

"You told us that if anyone died, we must inform you. I came here to tell you."

"Well, I see."

Fengjian nodded, ignoring Kakashi's distraught look, and said calmly:

"Go find Brother Minato. Meet at the gate at 8am tomorrow. There's a mission."

After saying that, without waiting for Kakashi to ask, Kazama disappeared.

Konoha Hokage Building.

"The third generation old man."

"Oh, Kazama, have you received the news?"

The third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, looked at Kazama with a serious expression.

At first, he believed only 10% of what Kazama told him, but after he found out that Uchiha Madara's body had indeed disappeared, he believed 20% of it.

As time went by, the Third World War took place, and Minato Namikaze emerged, his trust was gradually increasing. Many of Orochimaru's research results had been applied to medical ninjutsu, saving the lives of many Konoha ninjas.

Now, his level of trust is even higher, because Uchiha Obito's "death" is exactly the same as what Kazama said at the beginning!

"Well, please give the order. I have asked Kakashi to tell Brother Minato to gather at the gate at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. I will bring Obito back with Team Minato."

The Third Hokage hesitated:

"Kazama, this really won't have any negative impact in the future?"

"Old man."

Feng Jian looked at the Third Hokage deeply:

"Do you believe that Obito is the only choice? You know, that old bastard Black Zetsu has been hiding for thousands of years."

The Third Hokage fell into deep thought again, and Kazama didn't urge him.

"Well, let's do this. We must bring Uchiha Obito back. He is a good boy who inherited the will of fire."

After hearing the Third Hokage's reply, Kazama breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, old man. I will. Then, I will go and inform Nohara Lin. She is very important."

The Third Hokage nodded.

Muye, by the river.

At this time, Nohara Lin was sitting on a rock by the stream, hugging her knees with her hands and burying her face in them, leaving only a pair of tearful eyes exposed, staring blankly at the stream.

"Well, there you are."

Kazama appeared behind her, walked over to Nohara Rin and sat down, picked up a piece of grass and put it in his mouth, and they looked at the flowing river together without saying a word.

The moon is reflected in the river, the light is silvery and the summer night is quiet and peaceful.

Kagura's mind's eye can sense a range of more than ten kilometers and can track chakra. As for Kazama, he had already memorized the chakra of familiar people, so he could naturally find Nohara Rin easily.

"Kazama, tell me, am I really bad?"

"I don't think so. If anyone else had been on Obito's team, they would have given up on that idiot of his a long time ago."

After hearing Lin's words, Fengjian replied slowly in a gentle tone.

He knew that he just needed to listen now. Lin didn't need comfort, and so didn't he.

He didn't know why, but he always felt there was something fishy when he heard Lin's tone, and he immediately swallowed the news he wanted to say.

"But, even though I knew Obito liked me, I still didn't reject him explicitly."

Lin's tone was a little bitter.

"How can you reject him? He's such a coward. He'll blush if you get close to him, and he doesn't dare to confess. How can you reject him? Besides, you didn't ask him to do anything just because he likes you."

Lin raised her head and stared at the river in a daze. Suddenly she smiled, like a little flower after being hit by rain:

"Kazama, you know what? I actually always thought I liked Kakashi very much."

Feng Jian thought to himself, I know! I knew it in my last life! Wait! "Feel"? There really is something fishy!

"In order to save me, Obito was hit by a huge rock, and he gave his left eye to Kakashi."

"And at that time, Kakashi wanted to abandon me to continue the mission."

At this point, Lin smiled:

"He's always like a fool, clamoring to be the Hokage, clamoring to open the Sharingan to fight Kakashi."

"You know what? Kakashi told me that when Obito heard that Kakashi was going to abandon me for the mission, he immediately activated his double-magatama Sharingan."

"I guess he never thought that his eyes would be opened in this way, right?"

"Kakashi said that after Obito got the Sharingan, he was really strong."

"Until the very end, when the Iwagakure army arrived, Obito kept urging us to leave quickly and asked Kakashi to take good care of me. Really, he was so stupid."

"It wasn't until he died that I realized how stupid I was."

As she spoke, Lin put away her smile, closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and shed tears.

"He always likes to show off, always has a smiling face, and is always late,"

"He often said he helped old ladies cross the street and carried things for them."

"He's not as calm as Kakashi, not as strong as Kakashi, not as cool as Kakashi, and not as handsome as Kakashi."

"He is the last one in the team. He always makes people worry. He is the most worrying person in the team. Many times he gets injured but he insists on not telling me."

"You care about your reputation, you only know how to say nice things, as if your whole body is full of flaws, and you still want to be Hokage."

"But, he is such a person who never gives up in the face of difficulties and always tries his best to improve himself bit by bit."

"Although he was always laughed at, he never gave up his dream of becoming Hokage and he kept working hard."

"He would give his life for his companions,"

"Kazama, am I really that bad?"

Lin's voice gradually began to sound tearful, and it could be seen that she was trying her best to suppress her emotions.

"As a teammate, I have always only regarded him as a companion,"

"I didn't take special care of him. I just did what a companion should do, which was not to laugh at his dream."

"And he, and he has always been good to me, with all his heart, and never--"

Lin bit her lower lip and tried her best not to cry. Her little body was shaking constantly, but the tears kept flowing.

Silent sobs.

"I don't deserve his love."

Feng Jian listened silently without saying anything. After a long while, he said softly:

"But, he thinks you're worth it."

A glimmer of reminiscence flashed across Fengjian's eyes.

"The first time I saw Obito, it was by the river. He was sitting by the river crying."

"Because his grandmother was sick, he wanted to make fish soup for her, but he couldn't afford to buy fish, so he could only catch fish - but he couldn't catch any, so he could only sit by the river and cry in grievance."

"Then I taught him how to catch fish, and we caught several together. He invited me to his house for dinner."

"In Obito's area, Obito is very popular with the grandparents, uncles and aunts. He is often late, but he really goes to help."

"He hopes that someone will be able to help his grandma when he is not at home and needs help."

"Later, he played with other children of his age, but other children didn't like to play with him because of his family reasons, and the village didn't like Uchiha either, so he wanted to be Hokage and be loved by people."

"Then he went to the Ninja Academy and said he wanted to be Hokage. A lot of people laughed at him, and his only friends at first were Gai and me, and then you."

"I grew up alone. Kai only knew taijutsu and was laughed at by others. We were not normal children. You were the only child from a normal family who was willing to play with him and not laugh at him."

"Maybe in your eyes, this is just a small thing, but in Obito's eyes, you are his light."

Just like Naruto in the original work, why does Naruto like to eat Ichiraku Ramen?

Because when Naruto was a child, Ichiraku was the only one willing to sell him food.

Why did Naruto explode when Hinata was dying even though he didn't have much friendship with Hinata before?

Because Hinata was willing to stand in front of him at that time, even if it meant death.

Hearing this, Lin couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into tears:

"I don't deserve it. I didn't realize my feelings until he died. How can someone like me deserve it?"

"I'm sorry, Obito."

"Ugh."

Kazama let out a long sigh.

In the past, Buddhists talked about the eight sufferings of life, and one of them was "love and separation".

People often don’t feel the value of things they take for granted until they lose them. But is regret useful?

No.

But, there is no point in saying this now, thousands of words can only be reduced to two words:

"My condolences,"

Wait! Have I been led astray?

Feng Jian looked at Lin with a strange expression:

"Well, although it may be a bit of a downer, I still want to say that there is a mission. Gather at the gate of Konoha at 8 o'clock tomorrow."
