Sente Eiji's Black Friday

Thinking about Lin, my eyes involuntarily shifted and stopped on the calendar by the wall.

Sure enough, Kakashi squarely circled the date symbolizing today with a black pen. Even if he just looked at it, he could feel his serious attitude.

I never visited Lynn's grave.

People who are already dead, go to the grave to spend unnecessary time, and they are just looking for psychological comfort for themselves.

By the way, tomorrow is Friday again.

I rested my chin on my hand, staring at the number on the calendar that belongs to today, my eyes became remote.

"Kakashi, did you visit her today?"

"……Of course."

Kakashi paused, and unconsciously looked away, not daring to meet the eyes I turned back.

Sure enough, he still couldn't face me on this matter. When Lin was mentioned, he even forgot about being angry with me just now.

I tilted my head and looked at the "Cold-Blooded Kakashi" in the eyes of outsiders.

To be honest, my dedication to this boy who obviously grew up together is far less than Obito Uchiha.

the reason is simple.The carefree Obito will become "A Fei" or "Uchiha Madara" at some point, but Hatake Kakashi, who has experienced despair, will become such a gentle Hokage in the future.

I'll never be able to trust Obito [-]%, but with Kakashi, trusting him becomes as natural as breathing.

So, after I rescued Sakumo-sensei and asked my mother to get him into the elders, I paid little attention to Kakashi.

Thinking about it now, it might be unfair to him.

From the age of six to 12, when Kakashi was admired and praised by everyone as a genius, I kept focusing on Obito who was the tail of the crane.

And after secretly killing Lin, I can't wait to stick my eyes on Obito every day, for fear that one day his brain will twitch and he will turn his head and yell at me "This world is wrong!!!".

It is precisely because I have not let go of holding his hand that Obito has grown into the current somewhat off-line but reliable elite Jonin, especially popular with the elderly and children in the village, and has established his own fetters.

I was relieved and knew it was time to get away - only when the sun disappeared, the shadows would gradually emerge.

Coincidentally, when I was thinking about how to talk to Obito, I accidentally learned about Kakashi's intentions.

What are you waiting for?

It's time to become an adult, Obito! !Teenagers always have to go through pain to end their youth, so go on to your beautiful and single tomorrow——! !

──To sum up, that's why I'm sitting in Kakashi's room now instead of going back to meet Obito.

Although it seems that Kakashi misunderstood the reason why I want to break up with Obito, but it's too troublesome to explain, so let's leave it at that.

I thought this confidently, and quickly put this matter behind me.

Kakashi on the opposite side stopped talking since I mentioned Lin.

My eyes slid over his exposed white and slender wrist, and fell on his gentle and delicate eyebrows and eyes.

It's really strange to say.

I thought about it one way or another.

Obviously this person is always by my side, but it seems that I haven't been alone with him for a long time, and I haven't looked at him so seriously for a long time.

why?

I try to recall Kakashi, the sharp-tongued 12-year-old, or earlier, the soft-tongued Kakashi who would share his secrets with me.

But I can't remember.

I was too reassured about Kakashi, and I ignored him for too long, so long that I had already felt strange to him.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

Let us make such a reasonable assumption——

If Kakashi liked me since he was a child, can he be able to explain the strong hostility and targeting of Obito before Obito was buried, and the alienation and complexity of Obito after Rin's death? up?

That means...

The guilt in my heart expanded little by little.

When Kakashi was the weakest, when Sakumo-sensei had an accident, when he was the proudest but was frustrated by Kannabihashi, when he just lost Lin and was the most broken...

I, all, all, no, yes, attention, attention, arrived.

"...Ka, Kakashi."

Kakashi heard my trembling voice, raised his head in doubt: "Why—"

"I'm so sorry! I will treat you well in the future!"

I rushed over and grabbed his hand, and promised loudly with deep pain and seriousness, wailing bitterly in my heart.

Eiji Senju, are you ashamed to say that you are Senju Mori who uses love to influence the world! !

So depraved!All the handsome guys in the village are obviously your wives—ah, your family!How can you ignore the other because of one!You even often hurt your boyfriend by showing affection to him! !

"I'm really worthless!!"

I scolded myself in grief and indignation, and stared at Kakashi who was bewildered with pity.

"I'm sorry, Kakashi. It's painful, right? I didn't know it before, so you've been in so much pain!"

Kakashi obviously didn't react: "Ah, ah? Do I have—"

"Don't worry! I will never let you be wronged in the future!!"

"Uh...thank, thank you?"

"So Kakashi! For your future happiness, let's do this task together!!"

"........."

Kakashi suddenly narrowed his eyes.

As if he had finally come to his senses, he looked up and down my sincere expression, and his expression became indifferent: "I see...so you really are planning something."

I looked innocent: "Ah? What are you talking about?"

Kakashi snorted coldly, broke away from my hand, and put his hands on his chest: "Stop acting, Eiji. I don't know who you are yet? You just need me this time, right?"

Hey, as expected of Kakashi, it's just that he is harder to fool than ordinary people.

It's just a pity that this time it's not I who need you, but you who need me.

I withdrew my hand, sat cross-legged in front of Kakashi, and smiled softly at him.

"Kakashi, do you hate me?"

I spoke suddenly and calmly, staring straight at Kakashi's monocular eyes.

"Hate me for killing Lin?"

Kakashi's eyes trembled suddenly.

Uchiha Obito finished the last dish, put it on the table to check, and wiped his hands with his apron.

He has a shallow scar on the right side of his face, and his expression is gentle and calm, much better than the bitter and bitter Si Zhan Cheng that Ying Er saw in his dream.

Suddenly, Obito's eyes fell on his pale wrist, and a soft light flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help gently stroking his right arm.

More than half of his body is rebuilt with Eiji's cells, every time he thinks of this, it warms his heart.

During the Battle of Shenwu Biqiao that year, he was buried under a boulder, and just when he thought he was going to die like that, he waited for the rescue of his sweetheart.

Senju Eiji used to be the only light in his life, but now, it has become his only salvation.

Just when Obito fell into memory, the shadow hidden in the dark gradually emerged, looking at him with a silent sneer.

Uchiha's love is passionate and pure, and even tends to be paranoid.In a way, this kind of love is actually a little scary.

Senju Mori's love seems broad and warm at first glance, but sometimes, this kind of broadness is a kind of indifference and cruelty.

However, in terms of pursuing the ultimate love, Obito can be regarded as the leader among Uchiha.

Thinking of this, Soi Ying couldn't help grinning with a caricature-like arc.

In the next second, the cold blade touched its back, and the other Obito opened his blood-red Sharingan, with an expression of displeasure at the place he cherished being set foot by others, with murderous intent in his eyes.

"who are you?"

The black shadow hissed twice, his voice bewitching and deep.

"The sad line of Indra... I am the one who knows the truth about Nohara Rin."

...Do I hate Eiji?

Hatake Kakashi asked himself in this way, and didn't answer for a while.

"Well, it must be hate."

The blue-haired youth on the opposite side smiled lightly and turned to look out the window.

"I'm sorry, Kakashi." The smile on his face faded slightly, his deep blue eyes were silent, "I didn't make it in time at that time."

"—No! That's not your fault!"

Kakashi heard his tense voice instantly.

Facing Eiji's surprised gaze, he got stuck belatedly, and turned his head unnaturally.

But even so, he still stubbornly repeated: "It's not...Eiji's fault."

"……It was my fault."

Yes.

Six years ago today, Lin was abducted by Kirigakure, her body was sealed with three tails, and her heart was implanted with a charm that could not kill herself.

When returning to the village, the Tailed Beast Rebellion will break out, and there will be chasing soldiers behind, besides complying with Lin's request and killing her painlessly... what other way can I do?

It was he who had been hesitating all the time, so that Eiji, who had nothing to do with this matter, had to do it for him and bear the sins that should have been borne by him.

So, everything...was his fault.

Senju Eiji looked at him quietly, his tolerant and understanding gaze made people feel reassured: "Then why are you afraid of me?"

Kakashi was silent.

Not afraid of him.

God knows how jealous he felt every time he saw this man focus his attention on Obito Uchiha.

That was all his stuff.is his.It was Obito who took his Eiji away.

This bitter longing and jealousy are suppressed in his heart year after year, he hopes to get close to Ying Er but it is too late, so how can he be afraid of him?

When he saw Yingji's eyes, the fear that rose in his heart never came from Yingji himself.

...but the ugly self in those eyes.

Those eyes always reminded him that he had pushed such a heavy sin on this dazzling and gentle person.

So in the final analysis, he, a coward, was always running away.

He is escaping from his own cowardice, escaping from his own retreat, and also escaping the relationship between Eiji and Obito, as well as his despicableness.

——He couldn't deny that when Eiji said that he wanted to break up with Obito, he felt a secret surprise in his heart.

Senju Eiji watched the silver-haired man's gloomy and uneasy expression, tapped his chin with his fingertips, and suddenly sighed softly.

"Sure enough, I'm afraid." He smiled helplessly and self-deprecatingly.

"...No." Kakashi stupidly denied, but it was hard to tell his weak and dark thoughts, and he froze in place for a while, just repeating in vain.

"Really, I'm not afraid of you...Eiji, you are an outstanding person with a particularly strong affinity, no one will be afraid of you..."

"Really?" Senju Eiji asked melancholy.

Kakashi nodded in fear of his disbelief: "Of course it is true!"

"Eh...?" The blue-haired young man responded with an elongated voice without energy. Seeing that Kakashi was anxious and wanted to say something, he slowly turned his head and let out a soft "poof".

Kakashi: "..."

Kakashi suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Sure enough, the next second.

"Puff ha ha ha...! Kakashi, you are still the same as before! You look so cool and cool, but in fact, you are so soft-hearted! So cute ha ha ha ha...!"

The cheerful and lively young man made a breakthrough in a second, patted his thigh and let out a signature laugh.

Hatake Kakashi: "...So you were just pretending, you bastard?!"

Eiji Senju: "Hahahahahahahahaha!"

Kakashi became angry with embarrassment: "Eiji Senju——!!"

He glared angrily at the young man laughing to and fro, but he couldn't help but be infected by that bright smile, and he relaxed helplessly, tired and helpless: "Really, you are really..."

Senju Eiji hooked his shoulder with his upper hand, and there was no haze in the bright smile between his brows and eyes: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was wrong. But Kakashi, your expression just now was really—puh ha ha ha ha...!"

Kakashi, who was deeply ashamed of worrying about the behavior of this narcissist, covered his face and sighed sullenly: "You should finish laughing before talking."

He felt the vibration of the chest of the young man who was close to him. After a moment of silence, he quietly watched the man's eyebrows and eyes through his fingers in a blink of an eye.

The deep black eyes gradually shimmered, and the eyes were as warm as water.

Senju Eiji slowly suppressed his laughter, rubbed his overly handsome face, looked at Kakashi with a smile on his face, and said abruptly, "That means, are you running away?"

Kakashi's heart jumped, and he panicked subconsciously: "Huh?"

"Don't hide it, since you don't hate me or be afraid of me, then you can only escape unilaterally." Ying Er patted him on the shoulder nonchalantly, and there was a deep insight hidden by a smile in his deep blue eyes.

"I can probably guess the reason why you want to escape. But, Kakashi—although it seems that I took all the responsibility for doing it, didn't you stop me at the beginning?"

Hatake Kakashi suddenly trembled.

The blue-haired young man seemed unaware of this, and smiled at him relaxedly while holding his stiff shoulders, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"So, I think we've always been in the same pain. You think you're putting the blame on me, that I'm in more pain than you, and keep beating yourself up for it...but instead, I think it's time to hand over the choice to I who gave it to you, and also gave you the life that I have regretted constantly since then, is the more despicable one."

"But there is no end to self-blame and self-blame, so why don't you think so—"

He put a little force on Kakashi's shoulder, but Kakashi felt that his heart was clenched tightly by him at this moment.

"—that's how despicable we all are, Kakashi. I am the executioner, you are the bystander, and none of us can escape, because we all became [murderers] that day."

"We are accomplices, Kakashi. The sin of failing to protect Lin is double, and this double sin needs to be shared by the two of us."

"So, you never have to run from me."

Kakashi was stunned.

He stared at me blankly for a long while, then turned his head, his single eyes drooped sadly, and asked in a hoarse voice: "...do you also dream that she comes to you?"

"Of course." I replied without hesitation, with a more serious tone than ever before, "Have you forgotten my blood succession limit? Unlike you, I have dreamed of the real Lin's soul."

Kakashi didn't know whether to believe it or not, but asked me in a soft voice, "Did she say anything?"

I smiled, put my hands back, and looked up at the ceiling: "I'm ashamed to say...she said 'thank you' just like that day."

"...Is that so?" Kakashi replied in a low voice, staring blankly for a while, then he seemed to have finally made up his mind, and showed a sad, yet relieved smile.

"You are right. This crime can only be borne by the two of us."

As he said this, he raised his head and looked at me. His eyes were completely different from before. There was no panic or dodge, but full of unreserved attachment and trust. His black eyes radiated soft light like pearls.

It was the look in the eyes of "the only person who understands oneself".

So I knew that I had no grudges with him.

Sure enough, to deal with a smart person like Kakashi, you need to analyze yourself sincerely to him.

After solving this little problem, I felt a little happier, changed the subject, and brought the topic back to the original place.

"So, Kakashi, will you accompany me on tomorrow's mission?"

Kakashi, who was repeatedly asked by me, frowned, and finally realized something was wrong: "Is this mission dangerous?"

I shrugged: "No, the task itself is very easy, after all, it was Minato-sama who asked you to relax."

Kakashi was keenly aware of the word "mission itself", and looked at me suspiciously: "Then besides the mission, what else do you want to do?"

I chuckled: "It's rare to have a chance to go out together, why don't you accompany me to meet someone?"

Kakashi: "...Who are you going to see?"

I didn't answer him directly, and said mysteriously: "This year is the 20th anniversary of Daimyo-sama taking power No. [-]. The capital of the Fire Kingdom is holding a celebration ceremony recently. I heard it's very interesting. Where shall we go?"

"...Is the mission location and the capital on the same line?"

"Don't worry about this little thing! If I don't have enough time, I will ask Minato-sama for leave in advance!" I waved my hand nonchalantly, "Just say whether you want to go or not."

"..."

Maybe because he knew it was impossible to convince me, or maybe something else moved him, Kakashi silently glanced at me, nodded and compromised: "Okay, I'll go with you."

"Great—!" I cheered all of a sudden, and quickly set the rules, "Then I am the captain, and you are the team member. You must obey my orders unconditionally throughout the process?"

Kakashi sighed helplessly: "Yes, yes, it's all up to you."

"Okay, I'll find two of my own people to form a team, you should prepare well, especially your own Chakra!"

The corner of Kakashi's mouth twitched when he was poked at the sore spot, and he wanted to pinch my face with a smirk: "What did you just say?"

"Hahahahaha!"

I laughed and jumped up from the tatami in his house, and before going out through the window, I stopped suddenly, remained silent for a few seconds, and turned to look at Kakashi who was shaking his head with a headache.

"However, Kakashi, what I said at the beginning was serious."

"Ah? You said so much at the beginning, who knows which sentence you are referring to?" Kakashi stared blankly.

I looked at him without saying a word, slightly raised the corners of my lips, and smiled at him.

"I mean-I will break up with Obito, this sentence."

Kakashi was taken aback for a moment, and then his expression quickly became complicated: "You—"

"You don't have to think too much about it. I've been thinking about it before, but now it's just a result. It has nothing to do with other people."

I interrupted him quickly by raising my hand, and then, as if the heaviness just now didn’t exist, my cheerful tone was restored in the blink of an eye, and I turned over and jumped out of the window:

"That's it! Gather at the entrance of the village at six o'clock tomorrow morning, don't be late—"

The cheerful ending ended abruptly when he saw the person standing in front of him.

I stood on the corridor and stared at Obito Uchiha, after three seconds of silence, I smiled brightly as if nothing had happened: "Ah, Obito, what a coincidence! "

Obito Uchiha looked at me expressionlessly, his eyes slightly red.

"It's no coincidence, Senju Eiji..."

"You have already sensed my chakra, haven't you?"
