Honkai Impact 3rd: This is how Obito and Rin used it.

Chapter 68 Moon Appreciation

Shenyue Xingyun: "Hmm."

Nohara Rin asked, "Then what shall we look at? The sky?"

Shenyue Xingyun said, "Of course not."

"We can wait a while, the moon will come out."

Rin Nohara: "How long will it take?"

Shenyue Xingyun said, "In a little while, as soon as it gets dark, the moon will immediately pop out."

Nohara Rin didn't believe it and was about to refute it when Kamitsuki Seiun made a "shh" sound.

Listen.

Rin Nohara: "What are you listening to?"

Shen Yue Xingyun said softly, "The frogs are singing, and the crickets are chirping."

"The water was making a gurgling sound."

Rin Nohara: "So?"

Shenyue Xingyun: "So, shall we listen to these sounds first?"

Rin Nohara nodded in realization: "Oh~ it's just spacing out, right?"

Shingetsu Nebula: "...You don't like it?"

"It's alright," Nohara Rin replied.

Shenyue Xingyun said, "Then let's watch quietly for a while." Then, he brought up another matter.

"Lin, do you know?"

"I almost died out there during this mission with my team."

Nohara Rin was startled: "Really?"

"Nebula, what happened?"

Shenyue Xingyun concealed the matter of the Great Fireball and told the other party the contents of the mission report.

From the attack on the border while transporting supplies, to Sarutobi Asuma's injury and recovery, and the ambush by the Jonin squad of Iwagakure on the return journey.

As he narrated, Nohara Rin occasionally gasped in surprise. When she heard that Shinzuki Seiun and the others had joined forces to kill two Iwagakure Chunin, and that Uchiha Mikoto was fighting a fierce battle with an enemy Jonin, her eyes widened even more.

Then, Shingetsu Seiun recounted how he was unable to escape and was trapped in a dungeon created by Iwagakure along with the severely injured Uchiha Mikoto.

"So, Lin."

"Back then, when I was trapped in the trap set by the Jonin of Iwagakure, I was filled with regret."

"I wish I had spent more time with you when we were in the village."

Rin Nohara's heartbeat became clearer, perhaps because she was nervous about the other person's story, or perhaps for other reasons.

"nebula."

"Look on the bright side, aren't we standing together properly now?"

Shenyue Xingyun said, "Yes."

"Being able to stand together properly is a blessing."

"Lin, sometimes I just want to stay with you all the time."

"Let me show you the sound of flowing water."

"Let's look at the moonlight in the sky together."

As he spoke, the sky grew darker and darker, and the round moon graciously shone brightly in the sky.

Looking at the bright moon in the sky and listening to the stories of those around her, Nohara Rin felt an emotion growing stronger and stronger in her heart, almost overflowing.

Shenyue Xingyun's voice continued: "Lin."

"I feel like the moon is just like you tonight."

"How come they're the same?"

"Just as beautiful, and pleasing to the eye."

Nohara Rin managed to suppress the urge to smile.

Suppressing her turbulent emotions, she looked up at the moon and stubbornly said, "Isn't the moon the same as usual? What's so special about it?"

"The moon is for you to see."

Shenyue Xingyun's gaze fell on the girl's face.

"But you are the one I want to see."

The boy's eyes were bright and starry.

Bathed in moonlight, her deep, dark eyes seemed to draw her completely in.

Nohara Rin felt her heart pounding.

It felt like it was about to jump out of my chest.

She avoided his gaze as if fleeing, reaching out to brush away the face in front of her.

"Let's go look at your moonlight instead."

It feels warm to the touch and separates instantly upon contact.

He withdrew his hand.

Nohara Rin's face was flushed; she felt as if her face was burning up, but fortunately, the cool moonlight provided some cover.

I took a few deep breaths to calm my breathing and heartbeat.

She turned her gaze back to the moon in the sky, but in her heart she was thinking... she had just touched Nebula's face.

Her hands were behind her back, her fingers twisting and turning, as if she were savoring the sensation she had just experienced.

Just as her thoughts were in turmoil, suddenly, she felt a warm touch on her fingertips, followed by a familiar sensation.

Nohara Rin froze.

She raised her head, her eyes suddenly widened, and her breathing suddenly became rapid.

hand.

It is Nebula's hand.

Nebula is holding my hand!

Several words kept crashing into Nohara Rin's mind.

In one second, she felt as if struck by lightning. In two seconds, her breathing became more rapid. In three seconds, she came to her senses.

We should...we should stop it...right?

We...we are friends.

Between friends, there's no such thing as holding hands.

Rin Nohara thought to herself.

She felt she should speak up to stop them, or at the very least, firmly pull her hand away.

However, she stood frozen in place, motionless.

Perhaps the evening breeze was too cold, chilling her to the bone; or perhaps the moonlight was too beautiful, leaving her no time to look at anything else.

Perhaps... perhaps the constant stream of pleasure was just her illusion?

The night grew deeper.

She thought she might have been knocked unconscious by the wind...

The bright moonlight shone on the men and women on the banks of the Nanhe River.

It also shines on every corner of Konoha.

Uchiha clan.

In a small, simple bedroom, Obito Uchiha, having finished washing up, lay on the bed, holding a photo frame in his hands.

The photo frame contains a class group photo.

Minato Namikaze, a teacher who is not short but not very important.

Kakashi Hatake, a jerk with a cold expression who only knows how to act cool but isn't really important.

The handsome and sunny future Hokage, Uchiha Obito... and the angel he was destined to protect for life.

In the photo frame, Rin Nohara's healing smile was frozen in time, and Obito Uchiha felt a warm sense of satisfaction as he looked at it.

"Hehe...Lin...hehe..."

"The best Lin in the world."

"How can I make Lin fall in love with me?"

"That guy, Shenyue Xingyun, well... I won't see him as often on missions anymore, so I should be able to hold him off."

"Kakashi... cold and aloof, Rin would never like someone like that."

"I'm with Lin every day, so my chances are definitely the highest!"

"Once I train diligently and awaken my Sharingan, Rin will definitely acknowledge me!"

"What if?"

"Lin will like me... she won't like me... Lin will like me..."

After muttering to himself in bed for a long time, Obito Uchiha finally quieted down.

Recalling every moment they spent together on missions during the day, Obito Uchiha's heart almost melted.

At one point, he suddenly glanced around furtively, and after confirming that it was quiet and no one was around, he slowly approached with the photo frame held up in both hands.

Sensing something was wrong, he suddenly stopped what he was doing and then covered up the eyes of Minato Namikaze and Kakashi Hatake in the photo with one hand.

Only then did it look pleasing to the eye. He pouted and moved the girl in the photo frame closer and closer to himself.

"Lin...hehe...Lin..."

at the same time.

On the banks of the Nanhe River.

A warm, large hand covered a slender, soft, small hand.

As I rubbed my interlaced fingers together, my emotions surged.

The girl couldn't help but open her mouth slightly, simply because the moon was so round and beautiful, and her amazement echoed in the evening breeze.

"Ah~"
