The dim lighting created the perfect atmosphere. This was exactly the scene she had been longing for; how could she possibly interrupt?

Whether it's a birthday or not is not important.

The important thing is the person in front of you.

In her regret, she heard Shenyue Xingyun's voice, a voice that was unusually gentle.

"Of course I'll turn on the lights. We haven't celebrated your birthday yet."

"However... we'll have to wait a while."

In the darkness, Nohara Rin buried her head: "Wait...wait for what?"

Shenyue Xingyun: "We'll talk about it when you're not cold anymore."

The two silhouettes gradually drew closer...

Chapter 336 Obito's Kaleidoscope!

Before long, Nohara Rin, whose hands had been ice cold, was no longer cold at all.

Not only was she not cold, she was actually burning up.

Seeing that she was limp and powerless, and even making groggy sounds, Shen Yue Xing Yun finally let her go.

The two parted ways, and the crystal drop fell in the darkness.

Then, the lights in the room were finally turned on.

The light was warm and soft, not glaring, but Nohara Rin was still in a daze, her eyes filled with tears.

A few seconds later, she finally came to her senses. With her hands on Shenyue Xingyun's arms, she tried to stand up straight. When she saw the scene in the room, her eyes widened and she gasped.

"Wow!" she exclaimed.

The room was filled with fresh flowers.

Everything in sight was covered in purple. Nohara Rin recognized it; it was a flower that was not easy to cultivate, the Purple Rose Star, and of course, it wasn't cheap.

“I know you like blue star flowers, but those flowers bloom in the morning and wither in the evening, which has a bad meaning. So after thinking about it, I arranged purple roses, hoping that you will be as beautiful and everlasting as they are.”

Do you like it?

"I love it!!" Nohara Rin's eyes were filled with emotion.

She looked around the room; the pillars, walls, and even the ceiling were covered in purple, interspersed with blue and white roses. Even the floor was covered with a matching carpet, as if the entire space was filled with a romantic ambiance.

"I really like it!~"

Shenyue Xingyun: "Whatever you like."

Nohara Rin's gaze lingered on the sea of ​​flowers.

In Shingetsu Nebula's previous life, such methods were already commonplace, but in the ninja world, few could resist the romance of a sea of ​​flowers.

After a while, Nohara Rin, who had finally come to her senses from the sea of ​​flowers, suddenly had a question.

"nebula."

"what happened?"

"Why can't I smell the flowers?"

Although the scent of rosehip is delicate, it's impossible not to smell it when the whole room is filled with rosehip.

Shenyue Xingyun said, "I sealed off the fragrance of the flower."

As he spoke, he brought out the delicate little cakes he had prepared: "I was afraid the fragrance of the flowers would affect how I ate the cake."

Nohara Rin's gaze lingered on the cake for a moment, then she looked intently at Shinzuki Seiun.

"I've just finished eating, so I'm not in a hurry to eat cake now."

"Nebula, I want to smell the flowers."

Shenyue Xingyun thought for a moment and said, "...How about this, let's take a bite first, make our wish, okay?"

Nohara Rin finally agreed: "Okay."

She inserted and lit the candles, put on her birthday hat, made a wish under the gaze of Shinzuki Seiun, and blew out the candles.

"What did you wish for?"

"It won't work if I say it out loud. Quick, let's each take a bite of cake, and then I want to smell the flowers."

Shingetsu Seiun was left to Nohara Rin's discretion.

After the two of them symbolically ate a couple of bites of cake, Nohara Rin looked excitedly at Shingetsu Seiun, who smiled and then formed a hand seal.

With a surge of chakra, the barrier surrounding them instantly dissipated, and a fragrance quickly enveloped the two of them.

Nohara Rin closed her eyes.

After a moment, she spoke softly.

"nebula."

"Ok?"

"Turn off the lights."

"why?"

"because I love you."

“&&#@#¥@…”

The Purple Rose Star is beginning to bloom…

...

Two o'clock in the morning.

The Hokage Rock was shrouded in the night, and the four Hokage heads were gray and indistinct. No one would notice that a figure was sitting on the head of the Third Hokage.

The night air was chilly, and the dampness in the late night made the cold even more biting. Yet the figure seemed oblivious, sitting there with elbows on his knees and hands clasped together under his chin, as if he had merged with the night breeze.

It was Uchiha Obito.

He had been there for almost two hours. Although the chill had long seeped through his clothes, he had no intention of moving. He let the cold seep in, because no matter how cold the night wind was, it couldn't chill his lonely heart.

Obito Uchiha looked down at the village.

This is the village he has always loved, the place where he grew up.

But now, as he watched quietly, he felt as if the entire village was shrouded in shadow, dark and without a trace of light.

'Why?'

Why did things develop to this point?

Obito Uchiha didn't understand. He didn't know if he had done something wrong, or if the damned ninja world had already predetermined his tragic fate.

Right after he and Nohara Rin parted ways at the convenience store, in a daze, he left the convenience store with two bottles of liquor and followed behind Nohara Rin.

He didn't mean anything by it; he just wanted to confirm it one last time.

With his current three-tomoe power, and with his intention to avoid detection, Nohara Rin failed to discover his pursuit.

Nohara Rin went home.

Obito Uchiha felt no joy at all. At this moment, his intelligence kicked in, and he continued to keep watch from a distance near the Nohara family's residence.

Nohara Rin's return home at this time doesn't prove anything.

hold on.

We'll have to wait a little longer.

As they waited, the night grew deeper and deeper.

The lights in every house began to go out, and he saw that the lights in Nohara Rin's house also went dark.

He's still waiting.

Just as the evening breeze began to chill him to the bone and his heart began to ease slightly, the door to the Nohara family's house opened.

The door opened and closed gently, and the figure moved so carefully that it didn't make a loud noise. But to Obito Uchiha, it sounded like a resounding bell, shaking his mind and soul.

He saw a dark figure wearing a hood.

Seeing the other person walking quickly into the night with familiar steps, Obito Uchiha naturally knew which direction it was—the direction of the Shingetsu Seiun family.

He watched as Nohara Rin was questioned by the patrolling ninja, and after seeing that she dealt with the situation, she hurried off to the Kamizuki residence.

Then, without anyone noticing, he had already arrived at the Hokage Rock.

"Lin~"

"Lin!~"

A heart-wrenching wail echoed in the night wind, so mournful that even the birds returning home at night felt sorrow upon hearing it.

Obito Uchiha clenched his fists tightly, then slowly moved them to his heart.

As he felt the stinging pain in his heart, images flashed through Obito Uchiha's eyes as he murmured to himself.

There were countless happy moments when Nohara Rin was with him, and her radiant smile seemed like it was just yesterday.

In his fantasy, Nohara Rin became his girlfriend, his wife, and the mother of his son and daughter.

They walked shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand, leading a child and a dog, along the sun-drenched and flower-scented streets of Konoha.

However, all the images eventually faded away before my eyes, turning into Nohara Rin's panicked appearance in the convenience store, and into her sneaky departure from home in the middle of the night.

They became, at this very moment, perhaps already melted together, two dark figures.

Suddenly, my vision became blurry and warm.

Obito Uchiha was taken aback, then realized that those were his tears.

Large tears slid down from the corners of her eyes, quickly falling along her cheeks, and then shattering into pieces at her feet after leaving her chin.

Obito Uchiha wiped away his tears with his sleeve.

He tried to stop himself from being so sad, but the tears flowed like a broken string of pearls, more and more.
