Kakashi and Rin returned all the way to the temporary residence of Minato's team in Zone 7 of the Amegakure.
A house that looked somewhat broken from the outside.
Of course, if one went inside, they would find that with the various daily necessities Obito moved out from the Kamui space for decoration, the interior environment was actually very comfortable.
In his past life, Obito had spent decades living rough, and he was very clear on how that felt.
If conditions allowed, he absolutely would not let Rin suffer the same grievances.
Actually, originally, Minato's team was staying in Akatsuki's base.
But now, Akatsuki had already clashed with the Four Great Ninja Villages, and even Madara had personally gone out to fight.
If they continued staying with Akatsuki and maintained superficial ties with them, it would draw too much attention.
Even if Amegakure was under the surveillance of Nagato's Rain Tiger Free Technique, there shouldn't be anyone capable of sneaking in.
But still, better safe than sorry.
Obito, being a member of Akatsuki, even if intel were leaked, it wouldn't be unjust. But the other members of Minato's team were still pure Konoha shinobi and couldn't be implicated.
So, a few days ago, they moved here.
At this moment, Obito was fiddling with his experimental instruments in the living room.
Originally, he had built an expensive laboratory inside the Kamui space.
But ever since killing Danzo, his Kamui space changed, and that lab disappeared without a trace along with it.
This broke his heart for quite a while.
Lately, he might need a place to experiment, so taking advantage of this idle time, he once again began building a new lab.
At this time, Obito heard noise from the door and said without even raising his head, "You're back, huh."
Rin smiled and said, "We're back. I also bought the materials you needed."
After speaking, Rin walked up to Obito and handed over the sealing scroll containing the materials.
Kakashi rolled his dead-fish eyes upward and asked, "Where's Minato-sensei?"
Obito stopped his hands and stood up from the assembly platform.
"Minato-sensei isn't at ease about Madara's situation. He's worried that Konoha will suffer major casualties, so he secretly followed along."
A trace of worry showed on Rin's face, "What if Minato-sensei clashes with Madara?"
Rin knew that if Madara really tried to kill Konoha shinobi, Minato-sensei definitely wouldn't stand by and do nothing.
Obito smiled and said, "I already talked to Madara. For Hashirama's sake, don't make things hard for Konoha's forces."
"Though he didn't directly answer me, based on his personality, not denying it is already considered agreeing."
After speaking, Obito remembered something else and gave a reminder.
"By the way, Rin, the future me might've already found this place. You should loosen your sensing range a bit lately and be on alert for anyone strange approaching."
Rin was startled and said, "He really came?"
Because Amegakure was under Nagato's Rain Tiger At Will Technique, she had recently been deliberately restraining her sensing ability.
Sensing within another's sensory field is a very impolite act.
Obito's eyes flickered, "All the signs suggest that he really did come."
"I'm not too worried about him, but I suspect he brought Sasuke with him too."
"I don't know if Sasuke has already transplanted Itachi's eyes. If he has, Sasuke to some extent already has the power I once said: power surpassing the Kage level."
"This counts as a considerable risk."
Rin nodded, and amidst the worry in her eyes, there was also a faint hint of expectation.
Obito saw this and asked, "What, want to see him?"
Rin was silent for a moment before saying, "I want to understand the you from the past personally."
Obito thought about it and sighed, "Rin, actually I don't want you to understand him."
"To others, he might just be a madman, but in your eyes... maybe very lonely, very pitiful."
"If you see his condition, it'll hurt your heart."
Rin already felt the heartache and tightly grabbed Obito's hand, "If even you're saying this, then he must be very pitiful. After all, he was you."
Obito didn't deny it.
He only said to Rin, "Rin, let's go out for a walk."
Then he turned to Kakashi, "Kakashi, we won't be taking you along this time."
Kakashi snorted without emotion, "Just remember to come back for dinner. I'm cooking today."
Actually, Kakashi was secretly delighted.
He also needed some alone time to critique the newly purchased Icha Icha Paradise.
Obito froze, 'Did the sun rise from the west? Kakashi taking the initiative to cook?'
He suspiciously glanced at Kakashi, but couldn't figure out anything for the moment.
Only Rin quietly giggled to the side.
"Then we'll head out first."
Obito didn't bother with Kakashi anymore. He held Rin's hand, picked up an umbrella, and walked out of the house...
Under the curtain of rain, the figures of the two appeared a bit blurry.
Little Obito and Rin didn't speak. They just aimlessly walked like that, quietly listening to the sound of the rain.
Suddenly, both of them stopped at the same time.
Rin had already loosened her senses earlier, and at this moment, she suddenly sensed that from afar, a gaze was fixed on her.
She instinctively wanted to look toward the source of the gaze.
But Obito quickly tugged her hand and pulled her into his arms, whispering into her ear, "Don't expose it, or they won't come out."
Rin's face flushed, 'Doing this in front of people, is Obito taking advantage of me?'
'Truly a big bad guy.'
She stomped on Obito's foot and whispered into his ear, "Got it. But you let go of me first."
But Obito had no intention of letting go. He whispered into Rin's ear, "Nope, Rin, I haven't hugged you in so long. Let me hold you for a while."
Actually, Rin was already used to increasingly intimate gestures with Obito. If it were another time, another place, somewhere with no one around, she wouldn't mind.
It's just that, right now, knowing someone was watching them, and it might even be Big Obito himself, she still felt a bit awkward.
She whispered, "Obito, you're doing this on purpose, aren't you?"
Obito felt a wave of dangerous energy coming from Rin. In the past, he'd have compromised right away.
But this time, he still didn't let go. Instead, he boldly tilted Rin's chin upward.
And kissed her directly.
"Mm!", Rin let out a muffled whimper, hurriedly pushing at Obito, but she didn't push him away. Instead, very quickly, her entire body softened.
In the rain, the two shared another passionate kiss...
[T/N: Isn't it indirectly cuc*ing Obito?]
