Chapter 2 That guy is proposing!
Chapter 2 That guy is proposing!
In the bushes.
The boy wearing brown goggles was trembling all over.
"Let me go!"
Obito Uchiha's eyes were bloodshot, as if he had activated his Sharingan. He turned around and glared at the white-haired, dead-eyed man behind him: "Kakashi, why did you stop me?!"
"This is Rin's private matter. You should calm down," Kakashi said calmly, gripping Obito's arm. "Besides, we're practically spying on her right now."
"Calm down? How can you expect me to calm down?!"
Obito Uchiha completely ignored the last two words, gritting his teeth and staring intently at the figure in the distance:
"That guy...that guy proposed to Lin!!"
He almost choked up when he said the words "proposal".
He had known Lin for six years, and from day one, he had fallen in love with this gentle girl.
I love the cute and playful patterns on her face, I love the sweet smile that comes from her pursed lips, and I love the comfort she gave me when I did poorly on my exam...
Whenever he thought of anything about her, Obito Uchiha couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
But now...
Looking at the Uchiha Pond in the distance, Obito's smile instantly turned into resentment.
This guy, whoever appeared out of nowhere, actually wants to taint the angel in his heart?
"Damn it... all these years, I've only dared to whisper the word 'I like you' in my dreams!"
Listening to Obito's devastating screams beside him, and then comparing them to Uchiha Ike's unleashed ultimate power in the distance.
Even Kakashi, whose personality is usually calm, had a somewhat subtle expression at this moment.
This isn't a novel, how come someone's first sentence is a confession of love and the second sentence is a marriage proposal?!
He really wanted to complain, but remembering that Obito was right next to him, he had to swallow his words in order to maintain his aloof image.
Just then, the two men from Naka no Kawa made a move.
Nohara Rin seemed to finally understand what Uchiha Ike had just said, and lowered her head in silence, her entire face completely red.
And Uchiha Ike...
He actually reached out his hand directly to Nohara Rin.
"......" Kakashi narrowed his eyes, feeling a little curious about this unknown Uchiha boy.
The rage in Obito's eyes was almost burning through his goggles.
He had never seen Lin look so shy before!
Obito Uchiha clenched his fists and pleaded desperately in Rin Nohara's direction:
"Lin, you should reject him!"
#
The Naka River.
Uchiha Ike glanced at the grove of trees with a strange look.
Why do I feel like I'm hearing voices? Is it just my imagination?
Never mind, that's not the point.
Uchiha Ike shifted his gaze to Nohara Rin in front of him.
"Oh, oh oh..." Nohara Rin still looked like her brain had shut down, nodding blankly, almost shouting "Aba aba".
But Uchiha Ike showed no impatience whatsoever.
Because he had already heard the sound of gold coins.
【Ding! 】
Suppressing the slight upturn of his lips, Uchiha Ike's expression softened, and he said sincerely again, "I like you. Let's get married."
This time, Nohara Rin finally realized what was happening.
Her face turned red instantly.
Nohara Rin looked at Uchiha Ike, bewildered. Even though her voice sounded relatively normal, her face was still flushed red to her ears: "Marriage?!"
"That's right." Uchiha nodded emphatically, then slightly bent his knees and extended his hand to Nohara Rin: "Marriage."
Rin Nohara blushed, even her neck turning red: "...Eh, eh?"
【Ding! 】
【Ding! 】
An evening breeze swept across the Naka River, creating ripples on its tranquil surface.
Like a young girl's hair being blown about, the entire forest rustled.
While Nohara Rin remained silent, Uchiha Ike, who had been keeping his head down, finally had a moment of free time. He opened the system messages to check his current gains.
[Shocking information detected from Obito Uchiha!]
[Gain 10 points and increase damage by 2%!]
[Rin Nohara's shyness detected!]
[Gain 15 points and increase defense by 3%!]
[Anger detected from Obito Uchiha!]
[Gain 15 points and increase damage by 3%!]
"Um?"
Uchiha Ike's expression turned somewhat strange.
He frowned, looking at the unexpected name.
When did Obito Uchiha arrive?
Uchiha Ike glanced sideways at the grove of trees not far away, recalling the commotion he had just heard, and a flash of understanding appeared in his eyes.
It turns out that what I just saw wasn't an illusion; someone really was watching us.
So why didn't Obito come out to stop him?
It was obvious that someone was blocking their way.
The name Kakashi Hatake flashed through my mind.
It turned out to be the case.
Uchiha Ike's lips curled slightly as he recalled the image of Uchiha Obito glaring at him through gritted teeth, trying to rush out but being held firmly by Kakashi.
Hey!
If you don't learn good things at such a young age, how can you expect to learn from the Third Hokage and Jiraiya's spying?
Just as Uchiha Ike dismissed four people with a single sentence.
Standing before him, Nohara Rin, who had been silent for a long time, finally uttered a very faint sound:
"that......"
"You promised me, right?" Uchiha Ike quickly stood up and asked.
[Anger detected from Obito Uchiha!]
[Gain 15 points and increase damage by 3%!]
Seeing the tangible reward, Uchiha Ike no longer hid his true feelings and revealed a genuine smile.
Seeing Uchiha Ike grinning with satisfaction, Nohara Rin felt even more panicked.
"No, no!" she hurriedly waved her hands in denial.
Uchiha Ike silently suppressed his smile: "Oh?"
"This is so sudden," Nohara Rin said, avoiding Uchiha Ike's eyes, her voice hesitant but earnest, "I can't agree to that..."
She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, such as, "We can try to be friends first" or "We've just become ninjas."
But before he could say it, he was interrupted by Uchiha Ike.
"I see, I think I understand." Uchiha Ike nodded calmly. "Thank you for listening to me. I wish you a speedy journey to becoming an excellent ninja... Nohara Rin-san."
After saying that, he walked away from Nohara Rin as if nothing had happened.
As she watched Uchiha Ike pass by, Nohara Rin's breath hitched.
She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she didn't sense any reluctance in the other person's eyes. On the contrary, their gaze was frighteningly calm.
It's like looking at a stranger you'll never cross paths with again.
But wasn't he the one who was rejected? Why is he acting so relaxed?
unless--
From the very beginning, the other party didn't care whether they would agree or not.
Why did he confess his feelings to me?
Watching Uchiha Ike's departing figure, Nohara Rin blinked, gradually coming to a conclusion in her mind.
This was a clumsy prank.
It was just a spur-of-the-moment decision made because I happened to be passing by, and I was simply toying with my own feelings.
How could this be...?
Nohara Rin clenched her fists silently; even someone as gentle as her found it hard to accept such a prank.
All that thought and struggle I've endured, all that careful utterance of words to avoid hurting the other person... it's all utterly meaningless from beginning to end.
This is absolutely outrageous...
Nohara Rin was so angry she felt like her stomach was about to burst; her eyes quickly reddened, and she glared angrily at Uchiha Ike.
"Uchiha Ike, you think this kind of prank is funny?!"
"......?" Uchiha Ike paused slightly.
In Uchiha Ike's view, as a young man just beginning to experience love, this confession was sincere enough.
Despite being rejected and choosing to offer her heartfelt blessings, Uchiha Ike believed she had done her best.
If we talk about some kind of devoted plea to stay, isn't that just being a simp like Obito?
Therefore, the reason he stopped was not because of the sobbing in Lin's voice.
Rather, it's because...
His gaze lingered on the azure blue text before him.
[Displeasure detected from Hiruzen Sarutobi!]
