Honkai Impact 3rd: This is how Obito and Rin used it.

Chapter 28 Let's be friends

"Sometimes I wonder if meeting you after having so many girlfriends was a rehearsal for love arranged by God."

"Lin, I know you can't accept my other girlfriends."

"But I like you so much."

I want to be by your side every single day.

Even... as friends.

"That's why I'm using the excuse of asking you about medical ninjutsu to spend more time with you."

After saying that, he stared intently at Nohara Rin, his eyes filled with fervor and sincerity.

Nohara Rin was stunned.

If an ordinary guy said to a girl, "I have many girlfriends, but I still can't help liking you," the girl would probably have slapped him while cursing him as a "scumbag."

But he is the Divine Moon Nebula.

Shingetsu Seiun was called a "fairy" by the teachers and students of the Ninja Academy.

As she was being gazed at sincerely by that face, Nohara Rin sensed the other person's genuine feelings.

"Perhaps they had no choice but to do this," a thought popped into Nohara Rin's mind.

She didn't even dare to meet his eyes anymore, afraid that she would fall for him.

Lower your head.

After a moment, Nohara Rin whispered, "What did you mean by... as friends?"

Shenyue Xingyun: "Lin."

"I know you won't accept me like this."

"I didn't expect you to accept my advances."

"So, be my friend."

"Let me stay by your side as a friend."

Nohara Rin looked up.

Reason told her that if a boy really likes a girl and says he's willing to be her friend, it's 90% unlikely.

But the other party is the Divine Moon Nebula!

Although he is a womanizer, based on my past understanding, he shouldn't be the kind of guy who makes empty promises.

She said slowly, "Are you sure you want to be friends with me?"

Shenyue Xingyun nodded with absolute certainty: "Lifelong friends!"

Nohara Rin stared at him intently.

After a while, just when Shingetsu Seiun was anxiously thinking that the other party was likely to refuse, Nohara Rin suddenly smiled.

"Okay, Nebula."

"I don't understand why you have so many girlfriends, nor do I understand why you like me so much."

"But... let's be friends."

She extended her hand to him: "Xingyun, please take care of me in the future."

Shenyue Xingyun was taken aback when she saw the slender, white hand extended in front of her.

After repeatedly confirming, Nohara Rin was going to shake his hand.

Should I shake hands or not? Shen Yue Xingyun was torn.

Seeing that Shinzuki Seiun didn't move, Nohara Rin playfully lowered her head and looked into his eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"Are you planning to back out?"

"No, not at all!" said Shingetsu Seiyun. "It's just... Lin."

"Wouldn't it be inappropriate for us to shake hands?"

Nohara Rin asked in bewilderment, "Shaking hands between friends is perfectly normal, isn't it?"

"What are you talking about?"

Seeing this, Shenyue Xingyun awkwardly explained to the other party.

"Lin".

Do you know one of my nicknames?

"It's called 'The Hand of God.' They say my hands have magical power; once you hold them, you don't want to let go."

Rin Nohara: "Really? Is that true? I wonder if anyone actually believes something that's so outrageous."

Shingetsu Nebula: "What if... it's true?"

Nohara Rin was amused.

She took a step forward and grasped Shenyue Xingyun's hand, saying, "Don't try to fool me. I don't believe this kind of thing..."

Hands touching.

In an instant, Nohara Rinmi's eyes widened.

She was stunned.

Then, her mouth involuntarily opened slightly.

"..."

The sunset glowed ever redder.

The fish were too shy to go to the surface of the water.

Three seconds later, Nohara Rin realized what had happened.

Immediately afterwards, she pursed her lips tightly.

Feeling the sensations from clasping hands together, like magical currents flowing from fingertips into the depths of the heart.

With unwavering willpower and determination, Nohara Rin forced herself to loosen her grip.

"Phew~" She let out a long sigh of relief.

In an instant, I felt a sense of relief mixed with a sense of loss.

Shenyue Xingyun scratched his head awkwardly: "I already told you, but you still didn't believe me."

Nohara Rin: "..."

Her face was redder than the sunset, as if it could drip blood.

Shenyue Xingyun: "From now on, we won't shake hands, understand?"

Nohara Rin nodded repeatedly, "Mmm-hmm."

Shenyue Xingyun: "Lin, from now on, we'll be friends."

"We can cultivate together and exchange our experiences in the future."

"Furthermore, although I have mastered the Palm Healing Technique, I am not very good at many basic medical ninjutsu. I will need to ask you for your guidance later."

Nohara Rin simply nodded.

After a while.

Having completed his "date" mission for the day, Shinzuki Seiun escorted Nohara Rin home.

Watching the smiling girl disappear from sight, Shingetsu Seiun's feelings were somewhat complicated.

The image of Nohara Rin, covered in blood and trembling, treating Uchiha Obito during the day lingered in her mind.

She is a good girl—resilient, kind, and warm.

Unfortunately, she met a scumbag like herself.

Don't worry.

"I won't let you get away with this."

This time, I'll make sure you live a bright and happy life.

...

back home.

As soon as you enter, the aroma of food wafts over you.

Upon entering the house, Izumo Shingetsu was wearing an apron and cooking in front of the kitchen, looking quite professional. The aroma wafted through the air amidst the smoky smoke.

Sensing footsteps behind him, Izumo Shingetsu turned around and was quite surprised to find that it was Seiun Shingetsu who had returned.

"You're back so early today?"

"Have all three finished their dates?"

Shingetsu Nebula: "Today is the graduation exam."

"I only made an appointment with one."

"Oh~" Izumo Shingetsu feigned understanding. Then, he casually asked, "How are you? Hungry?"

"What would you like to eat? I'll make it for you."

While asking the question, she observed her brother's expression.

Shenyue Xingyun laughed and said, "Not bad."

As he spoke, he tossed a headband onto the table: "I'm graduating this year."

Shingetsu Izumo's eyes lit up.

Three seconds later, he jumped up with joy!

"Yay!~"

"marvelous!"

After saying that, he dashed back into the house and came out a dozen seconds later with a cake, placing it on the table in front of Shen Yue Xingyun. The cake had the words "Congratulations on Graduation!" written on it in red jam.

Izumo clapped his hands: "Hey, this is a cake prepared for you to celebrate your successful graduation."

Shen Yue Xingyun felt a warmth in her heart. But she said aloud, "Sneaking around like that."

"You didn't hide a cake in the house with 'Try harder next time' written on it, did you?"

Izumo Kamizuki chuckled, "No way."

"Two cakes are so expensive."

"Actually, the words above were blank, and that's when I wrote them."

"If you haven't graduated yet, I'll write 'Congratulations on repeating a year again!'"

Shenyue Xingyun: "..."

Considering the effort the other party had put into the preparations, Shenyue Xingyun didn't say anything.

The two brothers brought the food to the table and poured two glasses of soda.

"Cheers!~" Kamizuki Izumo raised his glass.

"elder brother."

"After all these years, you've finally graduated."

"From today onwards, you are a genin."

"From now on, just focus on doing your missions safely and never go to dangerous places."

"Catch cats, find dogs, help people unclog their drains, basically do whatever's easy."

"Now, it's my turn."

"I, Kamuizumo, will make the Kamui family's name resound throughout Konoha!"

Looking at the spirited Shingetsu Izumo, Shingetsu Seiun smiled and took a sip of soda.

In her heart, she was thinking: My younger brother is all grown up now.

They've reached the age where they should be receiving an education.
