The sun in the west was holding a grand farewell ceremony. The fiery red sunset dyed the entire sky red.
The three of them had just finished their training and left the training ground one after another, returning home.
However, after being ravaged for an entire afternoon, Obito was extremely unhappy.
However, he could not vent his anger on his beloved Rin.
He could only secretly follow behind Tunan, ready to find a place with fewer people, and ask him if he had any intentions towards Rin.
In this way, Uchiha Tunan quietly walked toward the commercial street of Konoha, while Obito sneakily followed behind.
Uchiha Tunan, who was walking in front, saw that Obito really took the bait, and his mouth couldn't help but slightly curve up. He went into a flower shop.
At the corner of the street, Obito poked his head out and looked at Uchiha Tunan as he walked into the flower shop, his face full of doubt as he muttered,
"What an annoying fellow.
What is he going to the flower shop for?
Is he going to confess to Rin?"
Thinking of this, Obito's hostility towards Uchiha Tunan rose several levels.
He also began to plan how to mess up Uchiha Tunan's plan.
Soon, he saw Uchiha Tunan walk out of the flower shop with a bouquet of roses.
Roses... as expected, he's about to confess...
Obito hurriedly followed, but he followed Uchiha Tunan all the way to the door of Uchiha's home.
Was he going to confess tomorrow?
Seeing that Uchiha Tunan was about to enter the house, Obito couldn't wait any longer. He immediately rushed out and shouted, "Tunan!"
Just as Uchiha Tunan opened the door, he turned his head and looked at Obito with a disappointed look. He forced a smile and said, "Obito, what's the matter?"
Seeing that Uchiha Tunan's expression was not right, Obito asked, "I have something to ask you."
Uchiha Tunan nodded and said, "Wait for me. Let's talk on the way."
After saying that, Uchiha Tunan walked into the courtyard.
Half a minute later, Uchiha Tunan walked out of the courtyard. In his other hand, there was a wooden sculpture.
"If you have something to say, just say it." As Uchiha Tunan spoke, he walked towards the outskirts of the clan.
Obito didn't know where Uchiha Tunan was going, so he followed beside him and asked,
"You... are you interested in Rin?"
Thinking about how Uchiha Tunan had brought Rin to ravage him today, the anger in Obito's heart rose again, and his words were a bit emotional.
Uchiha Tunan was slightly stunned and said with a puzzled face, "What do you mean?"
"That's..." Obito scratched his head anxiously, but he felt that it was hard to say, so as not to let Uchiha Tunan notice that he liked Rin.
After all, he had always maintained his crush.
He could not let others know about his crush.
Uchiha Tunan took a deep look at Obito, and a look of realization appeared on his face. He smiled and shook his head,
"You think too much. I have always regarded Rin as my sister."
As soon as he finished speaking, Obito was stunned for a moment, and then a pleasantly surprised expression appeared on his face.
In an instant, his hostility towards Uchiha Tunan completely disappeared.
"Really? I thought it was..."
As Obito was speaking, he suddenly noticed the wooden sculpture in Uchiha Tunan's hand.
The wooden sculpture looked like a girl and looked very cute.
Obito felt that the wooden sculpture looked a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it.
"You have someone you like, right?"
"Why do you ask?" There was a hint of nostalgia and melancholy in Uchiha Tunan's tone, and his footsteps slowed down a little. He lowered his head, as if he was a little dejected.
Obito had an expression of being seen through by me. He pointed at the bouquet of roses in Uchiha Tunan's hand and said,
"Otherwise, why would you buy roses? They are used for confessing."
Uchiha Tunan was silent when he heard this, and he continued to walk with his head down.
The sun was slowly falling into the mountains, but even the last corner of the sun was releasing its light to its heart's content.
The afterglow of the sky shone on Uchiha Tunan and Obito.
Seeing that Uchiha Tunan had such a side to him, Obito became excited. With a gossipy expression on his face, he poked Uchiha Tunan with his elbow and asked,
"Who is it? I don't see you with any girl usually."
A touch of sadness appeared on Uchiha Tunan's face, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Meinai."
His voice seemed to carry a lot of longing, and his expression seemed to be reminiscing.
"Meinai? Who is it?"
Obito felt that he had heard this name somewhere before, and he thought about it for a long time with a distressed look on his face.
Uchiha Tunan shook his head with a bitter smile, and sighed,
"Sure enough, not many people remember her anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, Obito suddenly remembered something, and said,
"I remember now. She was our first year classmate."
Then, Obito remembered that Uchiha Meinai was already dead. He immediately lowered his voice and said apologetically,
"I... I'm sorry."
"It doesn't matter. It's normal that you don't remember her."
A forced smile appeared on Uchiha Tunan's lips. His eyes were dim as he said,
"In this cold and detached clan, I have only seen two people who loved to smile. One of them is Meinai."
Obito scratched his head and said, "What about the other one?"
Uchiha Tunan stopped in his tracks and turned his head to smile at Obito. Then, he continued to walk forward.
Obito was slightly stunned. He pointed at himself and said, "Me?"
But Uchiha Tunan seemed to be in a bad mood and didn't answer him.
Obito felt that he should find a way to comfort Uchiha Tunan at this time, so he found a topic to talk about,
"Can I take a look at this wooden sculpture?"
Uchiha Tunan silently handed the wooden sculpture to Obito.
Obito took the wooden sculpture and studied it for a moment. The outline of the wooden sculpture was clear, and even the expression on it was very vivid.
The wood was also good. The corners were spotless and flawless. It seemed that it was carefully protected every day.
Obito couldn't help but praise,
"It's so delicate. You carved it really well."
Uchiha Tunan sighed and said,
"No matter what it is, as long as you put your heart into it, you can do it well.
For so many years, her voice and smile had always been hovering in my mind.
Accompany me every night.
As time passed, not only did the memories not flow away, they became clearer and clearer.
It just so happens that today is a special day, so I'm going to pay my respects to her."
Obito nodded silently, recalling the memories of Uchiha Meinai in his mind.
Suddenly, Obito recalled a lot of memories and asked with a puzzled face,
"Eh? What special day is it today?"
I remember that when she died, it was not this season. It seems that her birthday was not this time either.
When she was in her first year, she invited her classmates to eat snacks on her birthday.
How could Uchiha Tunan know when Meinai's birthday was? He could only make up a reason.
He immediately said with a sad face, "Today is the day we get to know each other."
Hearing this, Obito thought about it. It was not the day of school, so he immediately imagined, "So you knew each other before you went to school."
Uchiha Tunan took the opportunity to nod, "I met her in a hurry when I was young, but I knew that I would never forget her."
At this moment, Obito only felt that Uchiha Tunan was a kindred spirit.
Moreover, he was much more miserable than himself.
Although Rin Nohara did not show that she liked him, at least she was still alive.
However, the person that Uchiha Tunan liked had died a long time ago.
What a pity...
Thinking of this, Obito looked at Uchiha Tunan with sympathy, and couldn't bear to say,
"Tunan, you still can't forget her until now.
Presumably, if she knew about it, she would be very happy."
