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

Thanks!

Kakashi Hatake said, "Aren't you going to open it and take a look?"

“Of course,” Nohara Rin said, slowly opening the gift box under their gazes.

The gift wasn't large, but the packaging was exquisite. When Nohara Rin opened it, she found it was a set of portable medical equipment.

High-end, expensive items.

Kakashi Hatake then said, "Rin, this is for you. I wish you will become an excellent medical ninja like Lady Tsunade soon and help more of your comrades."

Nohara Rin looked up, her eyes filled with joy.

"Kakashi, thank you for your birthday present, I really like it."

After carefully wrapping and putting away the gift, Nohara Rin looked up, and Uchiha Obito also took out his own gift.

"Happy birthday." He kept in mind his self-admonition before coming to 'keep quiet' and 'maintain his attitude,' and said only four words before handing a gift box, one size smaller than Kakashi Hatake's, to Rin Nohara.

"What's inside?" Nohara Rin asked curiously.

'Why not just open it and see?' Obito Uchiha rejected the idea in his mind because it was too long. After thinking for a moment, he said aloud, 'Handpin.'

It sounds like a very ordinary gift.

This was also something Obito Uchiha did intentionally.

They are just 'ordinary friends' now, so it's inappropriate to give them overly expensive gifts.

Giving him a hair clip seems perfectly normal and fits his current status.

As for the hair clip, its unique light purple pattern, excellent material, and design that perfectly matches Rin Nohara's style, along with the amethyst inlaid on it that looks expensive but is actually quite expensive, are all noteworthy.

It was all just a coincidence.

After all, he was a member of the Uchiha clan with three tomoe. If he found out it was a bit expensive, he couldn't return it; that wouldn't be befit his status.

Under Obito Uchiha's calm expression, Rin Nohara, just like before, slowly opened the small box that Obito Uchiha had given her.

A moment later, a beautifully designed and exquisitely crafted purple hair clip appeared before my eyes.

"Wow~" Nohara Rin exclaimed without any attempt to hide her surprise.

"So beautiful!"

"Obito, where did you buy it?"

Obito Uchiha took a deep breath, then said casually, "I just bought it randomly, I forgot about it."

Kakashi Hatake, who was standing nearby, glanced at Obito Uchiha upon hearing this.

His gaze swept up and down, and to be honest, if he hadn't seen Obito Uchiha's clenched hands and slightly arched feet under the table, he would have almost believed Obito's composure.

Shaking his head, Kakashi Hatake, being soft-hearted and too lazy to expose her, said, "Rin, put the gift away for now."

"I'm so hungry, shall we eat?"

"Okay, sure."

As the fire in the stove grew hotter, the tender roasted meat turned into a delicious treat on the wire mesh. The three of them ate the roasted meat while chatting about their student days and ninja life, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.

Even Obito Uchiha, who had mentally prepared himself to remain quiet and aloof all night, was infected by the atmosphere and gradually opened up.

However, he never found an opportunity to ask Nohara Rin about her love life.

While he was struggling with his decision, Kakashi Hatake chatted casually while munching on grilled meat, sipping iced soda and enjoying his meal immensely.

When he was about 70% full, Kakashi Hatake burped over a soda, then looked at Rin Nohara.

"Lin, how have things been between you and Xingyun lately?"

"He's very busy with work, how much time does he have left to spend with you?" This was, of course, a lie. As Shenyue Xingyun's nominal subordinate, he knew Shenyue Xingyun's work ethic very well.

But that was the only way he could ask, otherwise it would seem like the other person wasn't taking their work seriously. Besides, his goal wasn't the question itself, but rather Rin Nohara's answer.

As he asked the question, Obito Uchiha's eyes widened suddenly.

He glanced at Kakashi Hatake beside him, whose expression remained unchanged, and was deeply moved to know that the other was asking the question on his behalf.

He had already kowtowed a hundred times in his heart.

Gently calming his breathing, Obito Uchiha picked up his cup and drank some water. At the same time, he heard Rin Nohara's reply.

"Us? That's great!"

"Nebula is very good to me. No matter how busy she is with work, she will always make time to be with me."

Chapter 334 Encountering Nohara Rin

This soda is bitter.

Obito Uchiha, his expression unchanged, slowly put down his teacup, certain in his heart.

The soda was bitter, bitter to the core.

No matter how many fantasies he had before, no matter how late he fell asleep at night, in Rin Nohara's answer, Obito Uchiha saw the genuine happiness in her eyes.

And so, the illusion shattered.

His heart sank as well; even placing it on the embers in front of him wouldn't melt the frost.

Kakashi Hatake clearly noticed the change in Obito Uchiha's eyes, and sighed inwardly, but there was nothing he could do.

What can he do?

He did ask on his behalf, but since Shenyue Xingyun was his captain, he couldn't do too much.

After thinking for a moment, he remembered that he had only eaten about 70% of his fill, so he lowered his head and continued eating the meat.

Since things are already like this, let's eat barbecue first.

...

Although it was a birthday party, the three of them didn't stay together for very long.

Kakashi Hatake also has work to do. As the current squad leader of the Anbu directly under Hiruzen Sarutobi, he is very busy every day.

Nohara Rin was also busy going back to prepare for her date that night, and she had unconsciously checked her watch several times when she was almost finished eating.

As for Obito Uchiha... he needs to find a quiet place to calm down.

The three parted ways at the crossroads. Just as Obito Uchiha was about to go off alone to find the solitude of the evening breeze, Kakashi Hatake caught up with him.

"Aren't you going to work?" Obito Uchiha asked dejectedly.

Kakashi Hatake said, "The work can wait."

Obito Uchiha felt a warmth in his heart.

Kakashi Hatake is actually still concerned about me.

Then he heard Kakashi Hatake say, "But if you don't watch the excitement, you'll miss the best opportunity."

"..."

"Alright, I was just teasing you." Kakashi Hatake patted Obito Uchiha on the shoulder.

"Obito, try to think more positively."

“I know you still have feelings for Lin, but… Lin is very happy now.”

"As friends, we should wish her well."

Obito Uchiha understood this principle.

But he couldn't.

"But...but..." He kept stammering for a long time without actually saying "but."

Kakashi Hatake sighed softly, "I understand without you having to tell me."

"But Obito, some things you insist on will not yield results."

"I think it's time for you to let go."

"If you want to let go, I can show you a way."

Obito Uchiha looked up.

He looked at Kakashi Hatake with eyes like he was grasping at a straw: "What road?"

Kakashi Hatake chuckled softly: "Get a new girlfriend."

"The best way to get rid of weeds in the land is to plant wheat."

"You're the same. If you want to completely forget Lin, find a new girlfriend. When a new relationship fills your heart, you'll discover that there are other possibilities in life."

“A new girlfriend…” Obito Uchiha murmured. “I feel like I can’t do it.”

"There's nothing we can't do," Kakashi Hatake said. "For example, just now, the owner of the barbecue restaurant gave us a 50% discount. Would you have dared to do that before?"

"What does this show? It shows that anything is possible."

"Obito, you need to have more confidence in yourself."

"Although you are not good-looking, have no temperament, were not popular with girls in school, and did not have a decent love life after graduation... but now, you are considered a Jonin of the Uchiha clan."

"Getting a girlfriend isn't something you can't do, right?" Kakashi Hatake's eyes held a hint of smugness. "Women are very simple."

"Don't be discouraged, keep working hard and keep going."

...

Kakashi Hatake is gone.

While Obito Uchiha wasn't paying attention, he went back to the barbecue restaurant, and with the proprietress, they went into a private room on the second floor to clean up. Twenty minutes later, he hurriedly headed to the Hokage Building.

On the other side, Obito Uchiha was still pondering Kakashi Hatake's words.

I want to get a girlfriend.

Having a girlfriend allows you to escape a gloomy emotional life and embrace a new one.

Really?

He wasn't sure.
