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

The third time was a vague guess, but by the fifth and sixth time!

Even a dog could tell something was wrong!

It's important to understand that since the end of the Third Shinobi World War, their squads have had very little time to get together.

Kakashi Hatake served in the Anbu. In the early stages, he was so busy under the command of Shingetsu Seiun that he couldn't take care of anything else. He also advanced to the Three-Tomoe stage and became another genius boy of the Uchiha clan. He had a lot to do.

Therefore, he cherished every rare reunion, but the appearance of the Divine Moon Nebula ruined everything.

It felt like...like a rare class reunion after graduation, only to find that the prettiest girl in class had brought her husband, Feizhu, along.

No! It's even worse than that!

Because the 'class beauty' was the object of his deepest crush, and Shingetsu Seiun was not Feizhu's husband, but rather the 'male god' recognized by many women in Konoha.

Sour, bitter, astringent...

A mix of flavors mingled in my heart, but not a trace of sweetness.

He could only channel his emotions into the shuriken, launching it fiercely at the target in front of him!

"Boohoo!!!"

As Obito Uchiha threw away the shuriken from his ninja tool bag and caught his breath, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.

"Why are you practicing shuriken here?" Kakashi Hatake's voice came from outside.

Without turning his head, Obito Uchiha said, "What, is this place under your jurisdiction?"

Kakashi Hatake was taken aback: "You're really angry."

"I mean, doesn't the Uchiha have a training ground? Why did you have to come all the way here? I couldn't find you at the Uchiha, so I came here."

Obito Uchiha walked up to the target and pulled out the shuriken one by one, saying, "I didn't want to stay at home, so I came out for some fresh air."

Since the Nine-Tailed Fox incident, everyone in the clan has been living in fear, and the atmosphere in the entire clan territory has been very oppressive. He did not want to face the cautious clan members.

'Honestly, they're all terrified.'

'The Hokage wouldn't wrongly accuse an innocent person, would he really lay a hand on the Uchiha?'

'Instead of being afraid, you'd be better off cultivating yourself properly.'

With that thought in mind, he turned and walked towards Kakashi Hatake.

"And you, what brings you here today?"

Kakashi Hatake: "Rin's birthday is the day after tomorrow, didn't you know?"

Obito Uchiha remained silent.

He doesn't know? How could he not know?

He remembered Nohara Rin's birthday even better than his own. But even if he remembered it perfectly, what difference did it make?

"What does Rin's birthday have to do with you and me?" Obito Uchiha stopped and continued aiming at the target.

“She’s definitely going to be with that guy.” As he spoke, he drove the shuriken deep into the target, so hard that it was almost half an inch deep.

Kakashi Hatake's next sentence immediately stopped his shuriken from flying.

Lin said that the three of us should get together sometime.

"What!?" Obito Uchiha turned around abruptly.

Kakashi Hatake gave him a knowing smile and said, "Looks like you have time now."

"Who...who said that?" Obito Uchiha tried his best to appear nonchalant. "I'm not sure right now."

"Let's see if I'm free then."

"Yes, yes, yes." Kakashi Hatake nodded perfunctorily, turned around and left: "After get off work the day after tomorrow, to the barbecue restaurant."

"If you're not coming, just let me know, and I'll finish the barbecue for you."

Obito Uchiha: "...Are you sure it's just the three of us? That guy isn't coming back?"

"Lin said she wouldn't."

After Kakashi Hatake left, Obito Uchiha, while thinking about what kind of expression he should make at the gathering the day after tomorrow, picked up his shuriken and prepared to continue practicing.

But for some reason, I didn't feel anything just now, but now when I wave my hand, my wrist suddenly hurts.

He had no choice but to stop practicing.

"Strange, it's Lin's birthday, and that guy isn't coming."

Recalling how he had always seen Rin and her together in front of him over the past year, Obito Uchiha muttered to himself, "Is he just too busy with work?"

"Or perhaps..." The words suddenly stopped.

Unable to suppress it, a wild idea popped into his mind: "Could they have broken up?!"

The moment the thought left his mind, even Obito Uchiha's octave muscles trembled!

A surge of intense excitement suddenly coursed through my body. Although my rational mind told me the chances were extremely slim, my heart was telling my brain—this time, luck might be on my side!

"Lin~"

……

Shinzuki Seiun did not break up with Nohara Rin; on the contrary, their relationship progressed quite smoothly.

The reason he didn't attend Rin Nohara's birthday party was twofold: firstly, to give both sides some space, and secondly... his mission to care for Obito was finally completed some time ago.

当时的结算奖励包括：1、大空间碎片*1；2、约会口香糖*1；3、油彩彩绘技巧（Lv4）。

[Large Space Fragment *1: Collect six Large Space Fragments to synthesize a Lv6 skill.]

[Dating Gum *1: Freshens breath all day, increases tongue muscle flexibility by 1000% and cutting skills by 1000% in one day. One serving contains ten gums.]

[Oil Painting Techniques (Lv4): Painting makes life brighter!]

He chose the large space fragment almost without hesitation.

In this way, he now has three large space fragments, bringing him one step closer to his goal of synthesizing a Lv6 skill.

Now, Rin Nohara's mission has also changed.

[Bound to: Rin Nohara (Instance - Obito Uchiha).]

[Current Mission: Coming-of-Age Ceremony (As the ANBU member who spends the most time slacking off, you have ample time to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for someone important. Please hold a coming-of-age ceremony for Nohara Rin and fulfill her wish.)]

[Task Duration: One Year]

[Task Rewards (Choose one): 1. Large Space Fragment *1; 2. Gift Treasure Book; 3. Nohara Rin's Weakness Analysis and Explanation.]

Chapter 333 Birthday Gift

There is another noteworthy aspect to this mission.

It wasn't about the coming-of-age ceremony; it was about the time requirements for the task. The 'task completion time' had changed back to 'task time limit'.

In other words, you can receive a reward as long as you complete this task.

Therefore, the coming-of-age ceremony should be held as early as possible, provided it is reasonable.

On this point, Shinzuki Seiun and Nohara Rin had already reached an understanding.

the day after tomorrow.

On Rin Nohara's birthday, they would give each other an unforgettable memory.

……

"Kakashi! Obito! Over here~"

On the afternoon of the third day, at the Konoha BBQ restaurant.

As Obito followed Kakashi Hatake into the store, just as he was looking around, a very familiar voice rang out from the corner.

Looking in the direction of the sound, Nohara Rin was waving energetically at the two of them.

She smiled happily, as if they hadn't seen each other for a long time and their friendship hadn't faded at all.

"Hurry up and come over! The barbecue will be served soon!" Nohara Rin said.

Nohara Rin wasn't on a mission today, and she wasn't wearing her signature purple face paint, but she was wearing delicate, light makeup.

Her fluffy, smooth short hair and purple floral dress made her look even more youthful and beautiful than usual, especially her bright eyes, which were as gentle and approachable as ever.

Obito Uchiha was momentarily stunned.

Rin Nohara's smiling face came into his view. It was the smile he had longed for day and night, the deep love he had dreamed of countless times in the dead of night, and the treasure he had vowed to protect by becoming stronger.

It's just a pity that this treasure doesn't belong to him. He understood this back in the battle at Kannabi Bridge.

So he made himself indifferent, walking in the lonely evening wind all day, tasting the bitterness of emotions. But now, when that smile shines on him again, he realizes that there are some things he has never forgotten.

The longing in my heart has never diminished.

Two little figures seemed to appear in my mind, one of them telling him: Give up.

Stop fantasizing; some things are simply not meant for you.

Another one was screaming furiously: No!!!

Lin is yours!!

No one in this world loves Lin more than you!

Go!

Let's give it our all!

What if she breaks up with that jerk, Shenyue Xingyun? Charge! If you don't charge, you'll never have a chance to win!

"Sir?" The waiter's voice pulled Obito Uchiha back to reality: "Could you please take a step forward?"

"Please, the guests behind us are blocked from getting in."

"Obito, come in here! What are you standing there daydreaming about?" Nohara Rin's voice rang out from not far away. Uchiha Obito suppressed his distracting thoughts and quickly sat down opposite Nohara Rin.

"Rin, happy birthday." After he sat down, Kakashi Hatake took out his gift first.

Nohara Rin happily accepted it.
