[Naruto] Lord of a Nation

Chapter 15 Alienation

Although winter is the peak tourist season in Tango Country, the flow of people is still much less now that the New Year is approaching.It is precisely because of this that Ichihara and Obito were fortunate enough to stay in a hot spring hotel without making an appointment in advance, and they booked a luxurious suite with a private spring, even if they opened the door, they would not hear the noise in the lobby.

The two slipped out in a hurry without bringing too much luggage, and simply tidied up the room.

The night gradually fell as they moved in. It was clearly past four o'clock, but it was as dark blue as it was after six o'clock.Obito opened the courtyard near the open-air hot spring and looked around, and set traps in the nearby woods to prevent anyone from slipping in from the hot spring.

The tea in the teapot is scented tea, which smells a bit too fragrant for Yiyuan. He prefers to drink green tea or white tea, and black tea is also good in winter.

"I'll go to the front desk." He planned to go to the shopkeeper for some other tea.

Obito heard the words, and walked to the door first, "I'll go, I happen to have something to do, do you want something to eat?"

"I just want to change the pot of tea... If there is any, let's have some rice cakes and oranges." In this weather, eating oranges at the stove table is almost the standard in winter.

After writing it down, Obito went out, and Kazuhara opened the closet to check the number of bedding, but as expected, he found that there was only one futon.

He opened the door, intending to call Obito to the owner to get another bed, but he didn't see Obito's back, only saw the eleven or twelve-year-old daughter of the hotel owner's family bumping towards him with a quilt in her arms.

Yiyuan turned sideways quickly, and the hotel owner's daughter stopped when passing by Yiyuan, "Ah, sorry, this is your quilt, because the weather is not very good, it is a bit slow."

After receiving the thick quilt, Kazuhara thanked her.

The hotel owner's daughter bowed and planned to leave, but seeing Ichihara's sickly look, she couldn't help worrying, "I'll put it in the closet."

Yiyuan laughed, "Don't worry, I still have some strength." Then he turned and opened the closet next to him.

"Is the guest here to recuperate? It will snow tonight, please try not to soak in the night." She reminded kindly.

"It feels like the temperature is a little low. It really is going to snow." Ichihara nodded gently, "Thank you for reminding me."

The little girl looked at Yiyuan's thin body, and hurried away, shouting as she ran, "Wait for me."

After a while, she came back again, holding a dark blue coat in both hands, like a young bird with wings, "If you open the windows and doors, sir, please wear more, so you don't catch cold."

What a kind and lovely girl.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he stretched out his hand to take it, but a hand grabbed his wrist.

Even without looking, Ichihara knew who it was, "Obito?"

With a full tray in one hand and Obito grabbing Ichihara's wrist in the other, he looked at the little girl with the only eye exposed.The girl seemed frightened by Obito's mask and eyes, shrank her hands, and took a step back.

Yiyuan took the clothes from her with the other hand, "You think too much, it's going to snow at night, she was worried that I'd catch a cold so she brought me a dress." So she's not an assassin, so don't be so vigilant.

Only then did Obito look away and let go, and said to the girl, "Thank you."

"No, you're welcome." The little girl fled away.

Ichihara reluctantly followed Obito back to the room. He really didn't understand why Obito reacted like the whole world wanted to kill him. Could it be that the previous incident scared him?

After entering the room, Obito put the tray in his hand on the stove table, then took away the clothes in Ichihara's hand, shook it off and put it on Ichihara.

In fact, Yiyuan has already worn a lot, and it is not cold at all, but there is always a kind of coldness that makes others think you are cold.He put on his clothes obediently, and sat by the stove. As soon as he sat down, Obito stuffed a cup of hot tea in his hand, and was stared at by the writing wheel, so he had to drink half a cup to "warm" his body.

He felt like he was about to sweat.

Suddenly, he had an idea.

"It's getting dark, before it snows, I'll go to the hot spring earlier, do you want to come together?"

For some reason, Obito hesitated for a while before replying, "I'm not in a hurry, you go clubbing first."

Kazuhara took a change of clothes, took a shower in the bathroom, walked out with a towel around his waist, passed the living room, turned a corner and walked a few steps to the open-air hot spring.

Obito frowned, but he didn't care about the distance of two or three steps with Ichihara.

Of course, there is a shower next to the open-air hot spring, but it is cold outside, and secondly, this is Ichihara's first time in an open-air hot spring, so I am somewhat uncomfortable.

The hot spring water was a little hot, but surrounded by cold air, he had no choice but to go into the water.

After getting used to it for a while, the water didn't seem so hot anymore. He felt that all the coldness was completely removed from being wrapped in the warm water, and he was so comfortable that he felt drowsy.

He was leaning on a smooth stone. The surface of the stone was a little hot after soaking in the hot spring for a long time, but it was as comfortable as a massage.

Kazuhara narrowed his eyes and planned to take a nap—anyway, Obito was there, and this realization made him extremely relaxed.

Twenty minutes later, Obito, who was separated by a bamboo door, could not hear the sound of water splashing inside. Suspecting that Ichihara had fallen asleep, he did a moment of mental construction. He slowly opened the door and saw Ichihara as expected. Resting on a stone as a pillow, Kazuhara's face was somewhat blurred by the dense water vapor.

Obito stepped forward and gently pushed Ichihara, "Wake up, don't soak for too long."

His white mask was also blurred under the effect of water vapor, and Yiyuan blinked in a sleepy state, and whispered: "See you at night?"

The movements in Obito's hands paused, and the Sharingan in his eyes suddenly spun around twice quickly, then slowed down again, "Ichihara?"

This address made Kazuhara conscious. He wiped his face with a handful of water, and he was completely awake.

"Sorry, Obito, I fell asleep accidentally, thank you for calling me." Ichihara got up from the hot spring, and the completely soaked towel was attached to his body, dripping water, and he walked back step by step Walk.

However, the Obito who awakened him still maintained the previous posture, squatting by the hot spring, and his dark heart was covered by a mask.

See you at night?The name is somewhat familiar.

The name that would be called out in the situation just now... Could it be the surname that usually waits for the bather?

There seemed to be something wrong, and he still didn't understand why he cared so much, so Obito asked, "That night meeting...who is it?"

Hearing the sound, Yiyuan paused and turned around, showing a nostalgic but somewhat lonely expression, "It's an old friend."

the same.The look in his eyes was the same as that time.

Obito clenched his fists tightly, but his mouth was as tight as a mask, and he didn't ask another word.

Standing under the washing of the shower, Yiyuan's thoughts also ran to the name just now.

Yami is his... It's Amano Teruhiko's lover, the silly son of the lord of Shishi Castle at that time, and Obito's previous life.

They really love each other. If the memory awakened earlier, maybe Kazuhara would choose to continue the relationship.It's a pity that he remembered it too late, and Obito didn't have any signs of remembering. Lin was all over his heart and eyes, and he foolishly helped assist.

Having been the ruler of the country twice, Ichihara is also a proud person in essence. Since Obito liked others in this life, there is no need for him to involve the things of the previous life in this life.

He has always thought so, and always thought that he can separate the past life from the present life well, but Obito's personality is exactly the same as in the past, and he even likes to take him on a tour of the mountains and rivers, sometimes he can't help but have illusions.

Thinking about it carefully, some of his actions seemed too ambiguous, not quite like friendship between boys.

What happened just now reminded him that even if they had the same soul and exactly the same personality, he couldn't continue to confuse them, otherwise he might end up in a mess.

After taking a shower, Kazuhara walked out of the bathroom. He looked at Obito who was still unshakable and wearing a mask, and slowly adjusted his mentality by wiping his hair.

Fortunately, Obito always wears a mask.

If he kept looking at Obito's face that was similar to the previous life, it would be even more difficult for him to control his emotions.

After being blackened, Obito almost restrained all the behaviors that "Obito Uchiha" would do. If it was in the past, he would definitely not be able to stand such a quiet environment, and would always say something to break the silence.However, now he is used to the silence of being alone, he didn't even make a sound to remind Yiyuan to wipe his hair, and pulled the towel in Yiyuan's hand as if letting nature take its course.

Slightly stunned for a moment, feeling the unfamiliar movement on his head, Kazuhara raised his hand to stop Obito's movement.

"It's okay, I'm not so delicate yet." Ichihara chuckled, as if to prove himself, pulled back the towel again, and sped up his movements, drying his hair as much as possible.In the end, he dressed thickly again, sat down at the stove table, and blocked back all Obito's concerned words.

Sometimes he can make those who care about him fearful, but sometimes he can do everything properly, leaving no one to interfere.

"Aren't you going to see the bubbles? The hot spring here is not bad." Ichihara asked with his back facing the direction of the open-air hot spring.

"Ah, let's go." Obito felt a sense of being lost, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.Following Ichihara's words, he took his clothes and walked into the hot spring room, and closed the bamboo door of the hot spring room to prevent his right side from being seen by Ichihara.

Just as he was about to take off his clothes, Obito suddenly came out of that lost state, staring at a certain point in the distance, and in the next second, he activated the ability of the kaleidoscope to disappear from the spot.

"What are you doing here?" His voice was much lower and more serious than when he was in front of Yiyuan.

"Obito, you are too deeply influenced by that daimyo, don't forget our plan." Hearing the anger in his tone, Heijue felt even more irresolute.

Sensing Hei Jue's murderous aura, Obito's Sharingan turned first, reducing the big tree around Hei Jue instantly.

Hei Ze did not back down because of this, "You would abandon your wish to accompany him to the hot spring? It's ridiculous, Obito, that's just a puppet. You should control him like you control Yagura, let him fight against the Fourth Hokage , completely messing up Konoha. Isn’t that a good idea?”

Yes, Ichihara has such a unique identity, and Obito can easily use him to do many things that Yakura cannot.

But Obito never thought about it, he never put Ichihara and the puppet Yakura on the same level, if it wasn't mentioned by Hei Ze, he almost forgot that he also controlled Ichihara.

Realizing this, Obito did not regret his carelessness and waste. Compared to this, he wanted to know that Ichihara’s actions were influenced by Sharingan. If there was no Sharingan, what would Ichihara do? What about him?

What he was thinking about was a funny and ridiculous question. It is said that no one knows better than Obito, the performer, how far Ichihara has been controlled by him.But Obito can't help but doubt himself, whether he has hinted something else to Kazuhara...

This idea appeared precisely because Obito had had such an idea more than once.

He was afraid that his last friend would leave him too, subconsciously he was unwilling to let "Obito Uchiha" die, and he was afraid of seeing Ichihara's lifeless eyes.

In the unscrupulous stares again and again, did he ever let Yiyuan do what he wanted through Sharingan with such a hidden idea, or did he give any hints that he didn't even realize?

What is false and what is real?

Obito didn't realize that relying on Sharingan to achieve false dreams is no different from his Moon Eye project.

He is panicking, he is panicking about the status quo after Sharingan is released.

He was afraid, and even more afraid that this friendship was just his own wishful thinking.

"I have my own plan, and I don't need you to interfere with me." He said more impatiently with Heijue, "Don't do unnecessary things."

"I just want to complete Madara's Moon Eye Project." Hei Ze, who called himself "Madara's Will", said.

Obito took a deep look at him, and warned him again, if it wasn't that his mind wasn't here, it would definitely be more than just a warning.

He returned to the hotel, did not soak in any hot springs, but directly rushed into the house, and stood in front of Ichihara with a cold air all over his body.

Kazuhara, who was peeling the oranges, showed doubts, "It's soaked so soon?"

After the hypnosis of Sharingan was released in panic, Obito came up with the idea of ​​using Sharingan to control Kazuhara and maintain this friendship.

But at the same time, fearing that everything is false, longing for the real, he came up with the idea of ​​lifting the hypnosis and accepting a real reaction.

He kept struggling in his mind, and finally the weak expectation in his heart made him make a choice.

He lifted all the spells on Yiyuan.

With his hands on the mask, he asked in a weak voice: "...do you want to see me take off the mask?" He remembered that Yiyi wanted to take off his mask many times, but every time he just put his hand Stayed on the mask, never really succeeded.

The movement of Yiyuan's hand stopped, and a piece of orange peel fell on the clothes without paying attention.

He really wanted to take off Obito's mask at first, hoping that Obito could at least return to his identity as "Obito" in front of him, but now he doesn't think so.Taking off the mask might mean something, but even if Obito didn't take it off, he was still the Uchiha Obito he knew, and Ichihara didn't dare to see that face that would shake him now.

He refused.

In an instant, the atmosphere on Obito became very scary.

Yi thought that he had misunderstood something, so he comforted him: "Since you don't like taking off your mask, you don't have to force it, anyway, I've known you for a long time."

Obito's aura is a little more peaceful, but it still reveals a weirdness.

In the next two days, according to his previous thinking, Ichihara avoided some actions and words that were too intimate and ambiguous with Obito, and he stabilized all his words and deeds at the level of friends.

The closeness in the past and the deliberate control in the present make his actions look like alienating Obito, and Obito really thinks so.He felt that everything in the past was really his own wishful thinking, and he used despicable means to manipulate Yiyuan to play this ridiculous friend game with him.

The mask used to cover his identity and half of his body seemed to have thorns, constantly reminding him of his alienation.

He started to think wildly, and sometimes he almost forgot when he came back to his senses, and only remembered the feeling of unwillingness.

Sometimes, he would suddenly think of Rin bumping into Kakashi's Rachel and himself standing opposite Minato-sensei.And the next moment, Yiyuan's alienation appeared in his mind like a shadow.

He regretted his act of lifting the hypnosis, and watched Ichihara quietly in the dead of night, struggling in his heart whether to hypnotize him again.

That was an extremely ridiculous idea, and Obito knew it, but he still couldn't suppress it.

Today's night sky is the realm of the full moon.

The slight sound when taking off the mask was infinitely amplified in the silent night, and Obito walked to Ichihara's futon and squatted down, gathering the power of Chakra with the tragically named Sharingan.

He stretched out his hand, resting his fingertips on Yiyuan's forehead, and stroked it subconsciously.

Ichihara's sleep was quite shallow, and the burning gaze and the strange touch on his forehead were enough to wake him up.

Green eyes filled with physiological tears opened unconsciously, facing the face in front of him, he thought he had a long-lost dream about his past life.

"See you at night?"

This second scene was like a pour of ice water pouring down from Obito's head, and the hypnotic technique stopped abruptly at the beginning of its activation.

The vibration of the vocal cords made Kazuhara realize that this was not a dream, and his fully awake eyes also saw the marks left by the Senjubashima cells on the right half of Obito's cheek.

"Obito..." As soon as Ichihara's words started, Obito disappeared from his eyes, leaving only the mask he took off earlier.

After that, Obito didn't show up until the daytime. He ran away in a panic just like facing Lin's rejection, but this time, with his space ability, he could easily hide in a place where Ichihara couldn't find it. , no one gave him comfort and company.

However, no matter how he thinks about it, he knows that it is impossible for him to really leave Ichihara without a single guard in a foreign country. Therefore, Ichihara can always feel Obito's protection near him, and he doesn't know whether it is the avatar or the body. The main body just refuses to show up.

If it was in the past, Yiyuan had already used various methods to lure Obito out, just like bowing | luring a tsundere cat.But now he has some concerns, and after thinking about it, he decided to find out the reason for Obito's sudden departure first.

Coincidentally, a letter from China just brought him a ready-made reason.

The author has something to say: ① Obito Uchiha’s character prototype is Tsukuyomi (Tsukiyomi), so I’m being lazy, he was called Yemi in his previous life.

Everyday dog ​​blood, everyone is welcome to enjoy Obito's "I'm jealous of myself" and "Me and my ex-boyfriend's Shura field".

small theater--

Obito: Even my last friendship is fake, let's dream together!

Yiyuan:? ? ?I just don't want to fall in love with my ex-boyfriend so I keep a distance, is life so difficult?

Author: That's right, Obito, this friendship is fake.
