"I'm here to deliver flowers. I just knocked on the door, but why didn't anyone answer?"

Kakashi was puzzled.

Since Lin is home, why doesn't she open the door?

"Kakashi... I... I'm cleaning."

Nohara Rin's tone was weary; she had to rest after saying just a few words.

Seeing this, Kakashi guessed that Nohara Rin was doing a thorough cleaning.

He thought for a moment and came to the answer.

With the New Year just around the corner, it's normal to clean the house, as it's a way to bring good luck.

Cleaning before the New Year is said to sweep away all bad luck and misfortune, welcoming good fortune in the coming year.

"Then I'll throw the flowers up."

Kakashi aimed carefully and threw the object forward.

The pink lily was cast through the window crack at a perfect, elegant angle and landed in Nohara Rin's hand.

Kakashi nodded secretly.

Indeed, his "shuriken handling technique" has not declined.

Throwing pink lilies like shuriken doesn't make much difference in accuracy.

"Th...thank you, Kakashi."

Nohara Rin spoke sincerely, and suddenly felt a warm current rising from her body, which deeply moved her.

Goodbye, Lin.

Kakashi waved.

He also plans to go home and do a thorough cleaning.

"okay."

Nohara Lin nodded.

Just as she was about to wave goodbye, a voice whispered in her ear:

"Since Kakashi is already here, let him come up and sit down."

"……it is good."

Hearing Seiji's voice, Nohara Rin felt a tremor in her heart and could only follow along.

"Wait, Kakashi, you should come up here!"

Rin Nohara called out to Kakashi, who had turned and walked a few steps away.

When Kakashi heard Nohara Rin's plea to stay, he turned around, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

"Then I'll wait for you to open the door."

Kakashi said.

So he waited at the door.

One minute...two minutes...

Ten minutes later, Nohara Rin finally opened the door with a click.

"Please come in."

Nohara Rin's voice was much softer and more charming than usual.

He was covered in fragrant sweat, and his face was rosy.

Kakashi felt that the voice sounded a little better, but he didn't know why.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw a towel for drying hair on the coffee table, and he understood why he had waited another ten minutes. It turned out that Lin was taking a shower.

"Pink lilies need to be placed in a sunny place, such as on a balcony."

Kakashi offered his advice.

"it is good."

Nohara Lin nodded.

"Oh, right, Lin, I have another bottle here. You can use it to put flowers."

Kakashi searched his person and found a ceramic bottle.

He originally intended to use it as a decoration, but now he feels there's a better place for it.

"Thank you, Kakashi."

Rin Nohara wiped the sweat from her brow, took Kakashi's bottle, and headed towards the second-floor balcony.

Kakashi followed.

If Lin does something wrong, he will give her guidance.

"Yo, Kakashi, long time no see."

Just as Kakashi went up to the second floor, he saw an unexpected figure.

"Kiyoshi? What are you doing at Rin's house?"

Kakashi was puzzled.

"Let's discuss some experimental matters, and I'll also cook some noodles for her."

Qingsi smiled slightly.

"Is that ramen below?"

"It's thick noodles; that's all the ingredients we have in the kitchen."

Seiji explained.

And only coarse noodles are big enough and chewy enough.

"That's it."

Kakashi nodded, understanding to some extent.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the flowers he had just given them.

It was placed in a small water bottle, which was filled with water.

There were also some traces of dried water on the windows and walls behind.

Kakashi understood; the water that had just dripped down below must have been from here.

Rin Nohara used this water to wash her mop, but accidentally spilled it.

"Kakashi, you shouldn't mind if I fill the flowers you sent with water first, right?"

Kiyoshi's gaze fell on Kakashi, and he asked with a smile.

"Why would I mind? On the contrary, watering in time helps the pink lilies stay active for longer."

Kakashi said.

He still has that much common sense.

There's always an indescribable smell in the air.

Kakashi thought for a moment and realized it must be the dust that had come out of the house during the big cleaning.

The dust particles gathered together and gave off a unique smell.

Perhaps this is why there is a saying that a thorough cleaning can drive away "bad luck".

"haha, yes."

Kiyoshi nodded, glancing casually at Nohara Rin.

Nohara Rin gripped the hem of her skirt tightly, unable to utter a single word.

No one knows this better than her.

He went down to the second floor with Kakashi and Rin Nohara, and arrived at the coffee table on the first floor.

"Kakashi, how's your 'Chidori' development coming along?"

Kiyoshi sensed the movement in the eyeballs and asked about the important matter.

"It's much more refined than before, and it's now called 'Raichi'."

Kakashi explained to Kiyoshi.

He had recently shattered a bolt of lightning in nature with "Chidori," hence the name "Raikiri."

"Nice name."

Kiyoshi nodded, took out a Lightning Release scroll from his person, and said:

"These are some Lightning Release ninjutsu techniques I know. How about exchanging them for 'Lightning Blade'?"

Kiyoshi used only Lightning Release ninjutsu given to him by Kumogakure.

In the past, he had modified the techniques he used to conceal the secrets of the Cloud Concealment, making it impossible for others to discern their origins.

Furthermore, his body was filled with a large amount of electric current to strengthen his physique, making it difficult for even those with white eyes to discern which meridian path he was following amidst the dazzling array of energy.

Now, he doesn't need to be so cautious.

The Sharingan's copying ability is so powerful that others will fill in the blanks themselves without him having to explain it.

Kakashi, an outsider, was able to perform copy ninjutsu with the three-tomoe Sharingan, let alone Uchiha Kiyoshi.

Kakashi has probably only copied a few dozen techniques so far, but as he gains more experience, he will eventually copy thousands of ninjutsu techniques as described in the original work.

"You're too kind, Kiyoshi."

Kakashi shook his head repeatedly.

To be honest, besides friendship, he also had a kind of respect for Kiyoshi that he himself was unaware of.

Kiyoshi is far superior to him in both ninjutsu and character.

Thinking of this, Kakashi glanced at Nohara Rin, whose face was flushed, and felt a pang of unease in his heart.

If he had chosen to bravely stand up and cherish his comrades, Obito could have survived.

Will everyone's ending be different?

Unfortunately, he will never know.

This heart-wrenching pain made Kakashi deeply aware of the cruel reality.

Amazingly, his left eye seemed to respond in kind, releasing a special kind of chakra.

"Kakashi?"

When Nohara Rin saw him suddenly cover his eyes, she was puzzled.

Kiyoshi, too, always likes to cover his eyes.

And each time, it feels like it gets stronger.

What are the characteristics of the Sharingan's evolution?

Nohara Rin couldn't understand it.

"nothing."

Kakashi waved his hand.

He asked Nohara Rin for a piece of scrap paper and a pen from home, wrote down the training method of "Raikiri" on it, rolled it up into a scroll, placed it on the table, and pushed it towards Kiyoshi.

"You've been a cherished companion since childhood. Without Obito, I might still be the cold-blooded Kakashi. But now I understand 'bonds,' so these things don't matter."

Kakashi spoke a lot, which was unusual for him.

He is usually very sparing with words.
