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

Uchiha Obito twitched his fingers, as if he wanted to raise them to wipe away her tears, but he wouldn't obey.

Understanding his thoughts, Haruko eagerly and carefully took his left hand and pressed it tightly against her cheek. Feeling the warmth in his palm, huge tears slid down his hand one after another.

"Obito, you can't die! Didn't we agree... that you would take us back? You finally opened the Sharingan, you have to go back and make everyone proud of you!"

"Didn't you promise me... that you would become Hokage... and let me see you save the world?!"

“Liar…Liar!”

"I am the only one who lied to you...How could you...How could you lie to me!"

Unexpectedly, her tears kept flowing more and more, and they even suffocated him who had calmly accepted death. Uchiha Obito tried to hold back his tears, but the pain in his heart would not stop.

He is a proud Uchiha... How could he... How could he cry in front of the one he loves...

Haruko murmured, "Liar... You promised to be deceived by me for the rest of your life..."

Kakashi Hatake on the side suddenly noticed that shimmering white light gradually appeared around Haruko, making her look like a floating moon on earth, desolate and gentle.

"Haruko?" Hatake Kakashi asked tentatively.

Haruko didn't answer. She just stared at Uchiha Obito's pupils gradually dilating and his hand on his cheek gradually losing strength. She had to accept the fact that was about to come.

The fact of Uchiha Obito's death.

Is it only when you are on the verge of death that you start to regret...

Uchiha Obito's thoughts were scattered stiffly, he still had a lot of things to do.

Promoted to jonin and defeated Kakashi, prepared a birthday present for Haruko this year, promised to patronize Granny Cat's shop next time, taught Itachi powerful ninjutsu, took Haruko to meet Granny Cat, worked hard to become a Hokage, and...

Protecting Haruko, accompanying Haruko, growing up with her, and then...

marry.

I want to marry Haruko.

I want to form the happiest family in the world with Haruko.

You have clearly let go of everything, so why, when death approaches, do you start to regret that there are so many things you have not accomplished?

Is it because you can’t bear to let go?

Maybe, he really couldn't bear to leave Haruko for a long time...

Without him by her side, Haruko would definitely eat sweets without restraint again, and no one would comfort her when she had a toothache.

When she goes out and sees something she likes, there is no one to pay for her. It is really hard to bear to see her feel disappointed when she can’t get what she wants.

When he is gone, will she kidnap other people?

Just like him, he would supervise her, quarrel with her, forgive her awkwardly, carefully protect her from getting sick, and seriously correct her that he was the one who should marry her...

Uchiha Obito couldn't help but laugh. To use Haruko's words, should this be Uchiha Obito 2.0?

Unfortunately, he didn't even have the chance to complain about her...

If he couldn't bear witness, how could he feel at ease leaving her alone...

As expected...he is still proud...

The most suitable person to stay by Haruko's side...

Only him...

Uchiha Obito's eyelashes trembled, and he sank into a state of loss and despair.

"Obito."

He seemed to hear Haruko's voice...

"You're not going to die."

Don't be so sure, or he'll cry again...

Hearing Haruko's words that instantly calmed her, Hatake Kakashi paused and stared at her back, which was glowing with soft light, with complicated eyes.

"Kakashi, use your Chidori to break the stone into pieces."

"But……"

"Hurry up Kakashi!" Haruko said in a serious tone, turning her head to show him her eyes with blooming patterns, "Obito... is in pain."

Without time to ask, Hatake Kakashi forced himself to move, mobilizing the chakra in his body and injecting it into his palm.

"Chidori!"

With a loud bang, the stones pressing on Uchiha Obito were suddenly crushed, and countless pieces of stone exploded with the air flow, forcing Nohara Rin behind him to raise her hands to protect herself.

Before Hatake Kakashi made his move, Haruko bent down and used her thin body to completely cover Uchiha Obito, blocking the impact of all the stones.

Ignoring the pain from the gravel cutting her back, Haruko stood up slightly and smiled at the unconscious Uchiha Obito.

"Don't be afraid of Obito, I'm here."

Without waiting for Hatake Kakashi to ask her what she was doing, Haruko picked up a sharp stone and stabbed it into her heart without mercy.

Under the stunned expression of Hatake Kakashi, blood splattered as she pulled out the stone again.

In the darkness of heaven and earth, she was the only light.

His thoughts were as chaotic as paste, and in his daze, Uchiha Obito seemed to see white flowers rippling with purple light, blooming and gathering again.

Did he see it wrong?

Then he felt a subtle warmth coming from his body, soothing his pain bit by bit until it filled the right half of his body. Suddenly, his right hand gradually regained consciousness.

The original fatigue and sleepiness disappeared, replaced by real and abundant vitality.

Uchiha Obito struggled to focus his gaze, and when the picture became clear, what came into view was the pale smile of the person he had been thinking about.

"Haru...ko? I... I'm not dead?" Uchiha Obito said hesitantly.

"With me here, the God of Death will have to go around several blocks when he sees Obito." Haruko made a joke to ease his confusion.

Realizing that he was not dead, Uchiha Obito inevitably breathed a sigh of relief. This feeling of relief did not last long because he saw the dark red quietly flowing in Haruko's heart.

"Haruko, are you bleeding?!" Uchiha Obito suddenly widened his eyes.

He gritted his teeth and tried to stand up to take a closer look, but Haruko pushed him back with an unquestionable momentum.

His strength was weak, but it was very useful to Uchiha Obito who was also weak.

"It's just a minor injury, it will be fine soon." Qingzi continued to put her hands on his body to finish his injury, "Lin, it's your turn next."

When she heard her name, Nohara Lin immediately got up and rushed over, not even bothering to wipe away her tears.

But what she was staring at was Haruko's heart. Nohara Lin shook her head, sat down next to her, concentrated her attention and began to take over Haruko's actions.

The moment Haruko withdrew her hand, her body went limp, and Kakashi Hatake, who had been keeping an eye on her, rushed over to hold her up.

"Thank you, Kakashi..." Haruko smiled weakly.

Hatake Kakashi couldn't help but tighten his arms around her, his eyes flickering over her chest that was soaked in blood. The originally white kimono was now stained with blood, making him so frightened that he was speechless.

Without waiting for him to consider, Haruko closed her eyes and fainted.

"Haruko!"

Hatake Kakashi was anxious. He first checked to make sure she had just fainted, then he suppressed his panic and opened the medical kit to treat her wounds.

Hearing Kakashi Hatake's shout, Uchiha Obito became anxious again. No matter how Nohara Rin tried to dissuade him, he forced himself to look into Kakashi Hatake's arms with his newly recovered body.

"Is Haruko okay?!"

"It's okay." Hatake Kakashi replied briefly, concentrating on bandaging Haruko's hands.

Even though he had gotten the answer, Uchiha Obito still couldn't let it go and wanted to go over to confirm, until he was scolded by Nohara Rin.

"Obito, calm down!" Nohara Rin's tone was rarely filled with anger, "Haruko worked so hard to save you, not to let you mess with your own body!"

Touched by the anger in her eyes, Uchiha Obito fell silent and stopped moving.

It's all because of him... Haruko...

In the end, he still failed to protect Haruko...
