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

"I'm here to save you, Lin! Lin is very powerful!" Haruko smiled at her soothingly and kept untying her hands.

Nohara Lin stared at her blankly. She always prided herself on being strong, but at this moment she actually felt like crying. Perhaps it was because Haruko's smile was too gentle, or perhaps her arrival was a comfort to her.

"Haruko...thank you."

Unable to express in words how much she meant to her, Nohara Lin struggled and finally uttered a word of thanks.

"What are you saying thank you for? This time you really are like a hero saving a damsel in distress, aren't you?" Haruko winked at her proudly.

Thinking back to their first meeting when Haruko came up with a surprise plan of "the hero saving the beauty", Nohara Lin's uneasy mood suddenly disappeared and she smiled knowingly.

The Iron-Armed Toad who had quickly defeated the enemy walked in, "Haruko has been dealt with."

Haruko stuck her head out to look outside the cave, and saw the arrogant enemy lying in a mess at the door.

"Thank you so much! I'll let Jiraiya treat you to a meal next time!"

Talking about Jiraiya's thick passbook, Haruko looked at him without any pity.

Iron-armed Toad scratched his head, "Why should he treat us? He can't cook. Haruko is the best cook."

"Me?" Haruko pointed at herself, a little confused. "So I can cook for you, okay! After I practice a little, I will definitely cook you a big meal!"

"It's a deal, Haruko!" Iron-armed Toad couldn't wait to make a promise with her, "I'm going to go back and show off to them first!"

After the Iron-armed Toad disappeared from the spot, Nohara Lin pulled Haruko's sleeve and asked, "Haruko, what is that..."

"It's Jiraiya's summoning beast. Before I set out, Jiraiya was worried about me, so he gave me a scroll that can summon a toad at any time, but it can only be used once."

Hearing that it was a one-time use, Nohara Lin couldn't help but blame herself, "It was wasted because of me..."

"No!" Haruko interrupted her, "I should say that it was thanks to this help that I was able to rescue Lin!"

Meeting her determined gaze, Nohara Rin's heart skipped a beat. The hand that was originally lightly placed on her sleeve quietly tightened, and he looked at her with a meaning that only he could understand.

She is sparkling, dazzling, and as sweet and bright as a sugar jar.

How could she control her gaze towards Haruko like this...

"I really underestimated you..."

He raised his eyes with difficulty to look at them. The enemy who had been lying on the ground actually held his last breath, propped up his body and stood up stiffly, quickly forming seals with his hands.

"Earth Escape: Rock House Collapse!"

As soon as the words fell, the rocks in the cave loosened instantly and there was a hint of collapse.

Seeing that the enemy couldn't hold on and collapsed to the ground again, Haruko hurriedly grabbed Nohara Lin's hand and rushed out.

"Lin, go!"

"it is good!"

Amid the crumbling of rocks, they relied on each other.

On the other side, Uchiha Obito was almost killed by an enemy sneak attack. Fortunately, Hatake Kakashi saw through that moment and rescued Uchiha Obito in time, but his left eye was also cut by the enemy and bleeding profusely.

Hit by the fact that he was injured because of Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Obito opened his double magatama Sharingan in the dilemma and killed the enemy with a kunai in hand.

After simply bandaging his eyes, Kakashi Hatake and Uchiha Obito hurried to the cave, but they did not expect that it was about to collapse.

Uchiha Obito spotted the two of them running in the dust raised by the falling rocks and rushed towards them quickly.

"Haruko! Lin!"

Seeing this, Hatake Kakashi had no time to think and kept throwing shurikens to destroy the stones that were about to hit them.

"Haruko!"

Uchiha Obito widened his eyes. A huge rock loosened and fell from above Haruko and the others' heads. It was something that kunai and shuriken could not break at all.

Almost as a subconscious reaction, Uchiha Obito used all his strength to rush to their side and pulled them both out with one hand each, but he hesitated a few steps forward due to the reaction force and was unable to dodge.

"Obito!" Kakashi Hatake's pupils shrank sharply and he shouted at the top of his voice.

boom--

The cave collapsed completely, raising clouds of dust.

Kakashi Hatake, who was standing at the edge of the cave to protect them, was not seriously injured. He was the first to wake up. After a moment of confusion, he anxiously searched for Uchiha Obito in the ruins.

Finally, he found it.

Uchiha Obito was found trapped under a huge rock, bleeding slowly.

"Bring... soil?!"

Hatake Kakashi's face turned pale instantly. He quickly ran to his side and tried his best to push the boulder away. However, the boulder stood still, as if mocking his uselessness.

"Stop it... Kakashi..." Along with the breathy sound, Uchiha Obito's blood kept gushing out, "I can't... anymore..."

Hatake Kakashi did not reply. His face was covered with sweat, but he still stubbornly tried to push away the boulder that decided his life and death.

It’s all his fault...what captain...what mission!

Nohara Rin and Haruko also woke up from coma. They were all covered with wounds from being hit by small stones. Because Haruko protected her, Nohara Rin did not have serious injuries, but Haruko's calf was seriously injured.

Before Nohara Rin could worry about her injuries, their attention was attracted by the noise made by Hatake Kakashi, and they found Uchiha Obito who was pinned under a stone and motionless.

The motionless... Obito?

Haruko's mind froze, and the world became quiet in her ears for a moment, followed by a roar that became increasingly piercing and almost pierced her eardrums. She could not see anything else but Uchiha Obito shrouded in blood mist.

Obito... Obito is bleeding...

Her blood vessels were frozen and she even wondered if she was still dreaming.

That was the arrogant Obito... That was the Obito who promised to bring them back intact...

He is Uchiha Obito!!!

People who are afraid of pain can't feel the pain in their legs at all at this time. Haruko almost crawled to Uchiha Obito's side with her hands and feet, and wanted to touch his face with trembling hands, but she stopped in the air because of his hideous injuries.

Uchiha Obito turned his eyes to look at her with great difficulty and forced a smile, "Don't cry, Haruko..."

Seeing the tears dripping down his cheek and causing him to blink, Haruko slowly realized that she was crying, and everything dark and gloomy before her eyes was reality.

She raised her sleeve and wiped her face roughly, her lips trembling slightly as she wanted to respond to him with a smile as usual, but her frowned brows and embarrassed tear marks made her look broken.

Haruko opened her mouth and let out a few sobs, then immediately pursed her lips tightly together, not wanting to let her vulnerability infect him, and forced herself to remain calm.

"Obito, you're fine... We'll rescue you right away, and then take you to Tsunade for treatment. You know, Tsunade is one of the three ninjas known as the 'medical master'. With her by your side, you'll be fine, Obito..."

Before she finished speaking, she was already crying and sobbing uncontrollably.

"Haruko, it's useless..." Uchiha Obito said in a relaxed tone to break her hope, "The right side of my body has been basically crushed, and I don't even have any feeling..."

Nohara Lin covered her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes, "No... How could this happen... Impossible..."

Uchiha Obito frowned and coughed up another mouthful of blood, causing Haruko to scramble to help him wipe it off, leaving her own tear-soaked sleeves stained dark red.

Despair mixed with blood and tears silently overwhelmed their minds.

Seeing that he couldn't move the boulder no matter what he did, Hatake Kakashi completely collapsed and kept pounding the ground with his hands, "Damn it! Damn it!"

Uchiha Obito used his blurred vision to describe her whom he had always protected, feeling the invisible passage of life, wanting to remember her more, more, and more.

Speaking of which... this was the first time he saw Haruko cry, and Uchiha Obito's brain was turning like rust.

He didn't expect that he was the one who made her cry. He couldn't help but blame himself...

"Don't cry, Haruko..."
