章節 39: Chapter 39 Rin Appears, Namikaze Minato's Probe
After Kakashi left the Hokage's office, he took the reward in his hand and leisurely began shopping for daily necessities.
In the evening, Kakashi returned home with large and small bags.
He took out the key and opened the door with ease and familiarity, his skilled movements performed in one smooth motion.
However, the moment he turned his head, Kakashi froze. He stared at the familiar face in the room, and the items in his hands fell to the ground.
His pupils contracted rapidly, and the darkness in his left eye instantly transformed into Mangekyō Sharingan.
"Long time no see, Kakashi. Welcome home…"
The man appeared equally excited; his eyes were reddened, and his voice choked with emotion.
"Lin, it's really you…"
Kakashi spoke with a trembling voice, still in disbelief after confirming it was indeed her with his Mangekyō.
That person was undeniably Nohara Lin, now in her twenties.
Despite the change in her appearance, Kakashi recognized her at a glance.
"Well, it's me!
Sorry for making you miserable all these years.
Kakashi, I really miss you…"
Unable to contain her longing any longer, Lin stepped forward and threw herself into Kakashi's arms, tears glistening in her eyes.
Being hugged like this made Kakashi's cheeks, hidden beneath his mask, flush as red as a girl's.
"It's really you, Lin!!
What is going on here?"
Feeling the warmth in his arms and Lin's face so close to his, Kakashi suppressed his reluctance and gently pushed her away, questioning her in confusion.
"Sorry, I got a little too excited!
Let's sit down and talk slowly…"
Lin suddenly became aware of her own excitement. She wiped away her tears to hide her embarrassment and whispered with a blush on her cheeks.
After saying that, she leaned down to pick up the items that had fallen to the ground, and Kakashi hurriedly followed her, helping her.
After a While
"Lin, what's going on?
Aren't you supposed to be missing and dead?"
Kakashi, sitting opposite Lin, looked at the now grown woman and asked, his gaze evasive.
Lin was not surprised by Kakashi's eyes; in fact, she enjoyed it.
Doesn't this mean she can now reach out to Kakashi?
"This matter has to start with Teacher Minato!"
Lin puffed out her chest on purpose, narrowing her eyes at Kakashi as she began her story.
"Wait…
Mr. Minato?
Could he be that mysterious person…"
Although Kakashi felt a little embarrassed by Lin's demeanor, he couldn't help but interrupt her.
"That's right!
The person who took me away from the battlefield was Minato-sensei.
Kakashi, Minato-sensei told me about you back then.
He said that the past and the future are in a continuous causal relationship.
If you must change something, maybe it can only be the future!
Just like Obito; when Mr. Minato heard our news and arrived, Obito had already been killed by the Mist Ninja, and his body was never found.
At that time, Mr. Minato decided that the past might not be changed!
Even if it changes temporarily, it will continue its destiny elsewhere.
So, he feared that I might also die inexplicably.
He put me in Anbu's logistics department and said it was his second attempt.
Even Lord Third Hokage doesn't know this information.
Teacher Minato said that if the Nine-Tails rebellion still happens, it proves that his guess is correct, and I should continue to hide and test the future.
If I can survive until now, it proves that the past can be changed.
I will come out to meet you after you return from your first mission with Naruto.
He said you would find a way to rewrite Obito and their fate again.
If I can't live now, there's no hope!
Take it as if I died in that war!"
After listening to Lin's narration, Kakashi finally understood why Namikaze Minato had faced his death so calmly.
He also realized why Minato said they would meet again in the future.
Taking Naruto out on a mission allowed him to return to his youth.
It was Kakashi who revealed this to Namikaze Minato on the way home afterward.
So Lin knows about this timeline, and Kakashi wasn't surprised.
In Lin's words, Namikaze Minato didn't reveal that Naruto was the key to time travel.
Possibly, it was just a precaution to prevent information leakage!
At this moment, Kakashi truly recognized the wisdom and thoughtfulness of Namikaze Minato.
"Kakashi…
I'm sorry to have made you bear the pain alone all these years…
Now, I will never leave you again…"
Seeing Kakashi bowing his head in thought without saying a word, Lin finally couldn't hold back her feelings any longer. She looked at Kakashi affectionately and boldly expressed her love.
This was her confession, built up over fourteen years.
Kakashi was lost in thought, confused by Lin's bold confession.
He actually had feelings for Lin as well.
He knew that Lin liked him.
Previously, due to Obito's death, Kakashi felt he had no right to face Lin's feelings and took the initiative to interrupt her confession.
Later, when his consciousness traveled back, Kakashi thought he would dissipate, so he tactfully rejected Lin again, wanting to match her with Obito.
So now, how should he choose?
"Kakashi…
I know you've been resisting my feelings because of Obito.
But now, Obito is gone.
Moreover, I am not someone you can just dismiss.
I have my own feelings.
I admit that Obito was a good partner, but emotionally, I didn't like him.
Kakashi, the person I have always liked is you.
My feelings are not a tool for you to maintain your bonds!"
Lin saw Kakashi's tangled expression and understood his thoughts very well. She reprimanded him loudly, tears in her eyes.
Kakashi's pupils shrank upon hearing this, and he looked at the crying woman in front of him with concern.
Had he done something wrong in the past?
He hadn't considered Lin's own wishes at all!
Obito, what should I do...
