"What about Kurenai Yuhi? What's your dream?" Haruko looked at Kurenai Yuhi who was grinning beside him.

When her name was called, Kurenai thought about it carefully for a while, "As for me... I should become the most powerful and beautiful ninja in the world!"

Matt Guy was shocked and slammed the table. "What?! Is Red going to be my enemy too?"

Unexpectedly, she blew him up. Yuhi Kurenai didn't want to have the exclusive treatment of Hatake Kakashi, so she quickly changed her words, "I'm talking about the most powerful and beautiful female ninja!"

"I see. This way I won't be able to compete." Matt Kai was a little regretful at first, then he gave her a thumbs up and smiled brightly, "We have to work hard together!"

"..." Kurenai Yuhi once again whispered in Asuma Sarutobi's ear, "Asuma, it's a good thing that you and Kai are not at all the same."

Asuma Sarutobi, who didn't want to compare himself to that hot-blooded guy, said: ...

"Then the dream of having thick eyebrows has been confirmed, let's move on to Lin!" Haruko ruthlessly skipped over the overly hot-blooded idiot and changed the subject.

Nohara Lin did not hesitate, and confidently and generously expressed her long-held belief, "I want to become an excellent medical ninja and save every wounded soldier on the battlefield!"

Haruko nodded in understanding, "Yeah! Lin and medical ninja are a perfect match!"

"Really?" Nohara Lin blushed slightly when she was praised in public, feeling a little embarrassed. "Thank you, Haruko!"

Finally, they came to the last person, and Haruko perfunctorily pushed forward: "So what is our arrogant Kakashi's big dream?"

"...If you don't want to ask, then don't ask." Kakashi Hatake frowned.

Haruko explained herself seriously, "I asked because Obito wanted to know."

"How could I?!" Uchiha Obito retorted in shame and annoyance, not expecting that he would be pushed out to take the blame. However, she did reveal the secret in her heart, and he subconsciously glanced at Hatake Kakashi.

“……?” No way…

Kakashi Hatake obviously didn't expect that a tsundere actually wanted to know about his dream. He felt a little awkward and pretended not to care and replied, "I should be a hero like my father."

Uchiha Obito couldn't bring himself to say "huh" but he didn't find fault like he usually did.

Haruko led the applause, and as Hatake Kakashi's expression gradually became embarrassed, she commented seriously: "Kakashi has an especially great dream!"

"Not bad..." Hatake Kakashi picked up the teacup and took a sip, hiding his joy at being recognized.

Haruko added: "After all, compared to your cocky personality, this dream seems too normal!"

"..." Choked by the tea, Kakashi Hatake's eyes turned dead.

How much sincerity did he expect from this idiot? !

Hatake Kakashi asked unconvincedly: "Really? Then I want to see what lofty dreams you have."

Seeing that everyone at the table was looking at her, waiting for her answer, Haruko lowered her head hesitantly to observe her reflection in the tea.

She raised her head and spoke slowly, "My dream is... to protect you all and all the bonds between us."

This was the only dream that concerned everyone present. Looking at Haruko's serious expression, they felt inexplicably moved that they were cherished by her.

Everyone's dream is to work hard for themselves, but her dream is to protect them and work hard for them.

Haruko found that they all looked at her with pleased and touched expressions, even Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Obito looked at her with deeper eyes. Haruko picked up the dango and started eating without knowing why.

They are so curious, why are they looking at me like that?

Did I paint a picture too big? But if I don’t let them know my sincerity, how can I better benefit myself?

Haruko felt that she was extremely smart and chose to let their emotion spread.

I've already said it, her speaking skills are unmatched!

……

After separating from them at the door of the dumpling shop, Haruko and Uchiha Obito walked side by side on the way home.

Suddenly, Haruko's pace slowed down until she stopped.

Uchiha Obito turned to her and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with Haruko?"

"I care a little." Haruko murmured with her head down.

"What do you care about?" Uchiha Obito moved closer to listen, and sensing that she was in a bad mood, he tentatively took her hand.

She raised her head, her eyes full of confusion. "That sister who turned into a star, I really want to go see her again today."

"Stars? What stars?" Uchiha Obito's mind was full of questions. He didn't know which stars she was referring to.

Haruko was stunned, and asked eagerly: "Obito, have you forgotten? It's the weird sister that Kakashi mentioned!"

Uchiha Obito frowned in displeasure, "Why are you talking about that guy again? Do you remember Kakashi's words so clearly?"

Unexpectedly, he was actually angry about this. Haruko stepped on him angrily. When Uchiha Obito jumped up in pain, she ignored him and walked away quickly.

"Wait for me, Haruko!" Uchiha Obito held back his tears and hopped on one foot to catch up.

Fortunately, they had been angry with each other for a long time, so Haruko soon told him seriously about the hero who turned into a star, even though she didn't know much.

"Did Kakashi really say that?" Uchiha Obito still couldn't remember the relevant memory, so he gave up and asked another question, "Why did Haruko want to see her?"

Haruko thought carefully for a while, then took his hand and walked forward, organizing her words as she walked, trying to express her strange feelings.

"It's a very familiar feeling. Everything along the way is very familiar. The long-haired man, the white hedgehog hair, and the very beautiful woman... and every person who came to mourn with flowers is very familiar."

"I don't know why I have this feeling. My heart and eyes are hot, as if I can see my future death through that tombstone. I wonder if I will be buried there when I die."

"But if so many people came to see me like that heroic sister, I would be very happy and not feel lonely, because so many people remember me, right?"

"They remember me, and I feel like I'm still alive..."

Facing the night, they walked quietly to the entrance of the memorial.

Uchiha Obito stopped walking, and Haruko, who was holding his hand, also stopped walking.

Under the soft moonlight, Uchiha Obito looked at her firmly, "Haruko will not die, I will protect you forever!"

Haruko held his hand tightly and said anxiously, "But everyone will die one day..."

"No!" Uchiha Obito interrupted her loudly, smiling and assuring her, "I will never forget Haruko, so Haruko will not disappear!"

Although still a little nervous, Haruko felt much happier because of his assurance.

Haruko stretched out her little finger to make a pinky promise with him, "We agreed that Obito will never forget me!"

"Yeah! It's settled!"

Two short figures bathed in the moonlight, making a lifelong commitment in the silence of the world.

A liar is a puppy.
