Just as Kakashi fell into silence, Nohara Haruki was also a bit dazed and couldn't help but ask, "Dear, you've acknowledged Rin's classmate as a daughter? I know you really miss Rin, but..."
Nohara Haruki didn't continue speaking, 'But can longing really be replaced by someone else?'
However, thinking again, he and his wife were too lonely in their later years, having a daughter wasn't bad either, and the key here was that his wife was willing, others might not be willing though.
However, Mrs. Nohara immediately saw through her husband's thoughts. She glanced at Nohara Haruki with a slightly proud expression in her eyes.
'Such a big daughter standing right in front of you, and you don't recognize her? Who's to blame for that?'
She opened her mouth and said, "What do you understand? In short, I've acknowledged this daughter."
Nohara Haruki couldn't help looking at Rin. The more he looked, the more he felt a sense of closeness. Although she looked nothing like Rin, he still felt a kind of blood-is-thicker-than-water feeling.
He understood even more now his wife's intention to acknowledge the girl as their daughter, even he wanted to acknowledge her.
'It's just...'
He asked, "Is that okay?"
Rin smiled and said, "It's okay. When I saw you two, I felt very close, maybe in our past lives, we were real family."
Nohara Haruki said, "I feel the same way."
Then he started to feel troubled. Having a daughter was pretty nice, but the daughter was Rin's classmate, now already in her thirties, still unmarried, and that was a bit distressing.
Although Yudai and Yuta seemed interested in their daughter, Nohara Haruki still felt that for something as major as marriage, a better partner should be chosen.
He suddenly looked at Kakashi and asked, "Kakashi, by now, you're not that young anymore, right?"
Kakashi snapped back to attention. Because of the previous shockwave, he hadn't paid attention to what had happened at the scene, so he just replied with an "Ah?" to the question.
He couldn't help looking at Rin, who was disguised, and in his eyes, there was a kind of complicated emotion that couldn't be more complicated.
Seeing this, Nohara Haruki laughed and said, "Kakashi, why don't you and my new daughter become a pair? I can tell you're quite interested in her. After all, I've never seen you look at any woman with that kind of expression."
As soon as these words were said, Nohara Haruki suddenly felt that his living room became inexplicably chilly.
Kakashi's eyelids twitched wildly, and a drop of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He couldn't help looking at the Old Obito.
'What kind of joke was this, uncle, you don't know how dangerous this situation is, do you?'
Just as he was about to refuse, Kakashi suddenly thought, 'Obito is too dangerous. If Rin follows Obito and gets involved in the Fourth Great Ninja War, it will put Rin in danger as well.'
If he could find a reason to keep Rin temporarily, keeping her in Konoha, it would also be for her safety.
He had sworn to protect Rin. Last time he failed, this time, no matter what, he couldn't break his promise.
So, he changed his words and said, "Sure. But feelings need a foundation, Uncle. If you can guarantee your daughter won't run around and can stay in Konoha often, I can try to date her."
Nohara Haruki didn't expect Kakashi to agree so readily. Looks like this new daughter of his wasn't simple either.
He agreed right away, "Of course, no problem."
As soon as he said that, Nohara Haruki felt that his living room got even colder.
Mrs. Nohara, seeing this, couldn't help walking over and giving Nohara Haruki a light hit, laughing and scolding, "Don't randomly play matchmaker!"
Their daughter had already gotten together with Obito, and her husband was trying to break them up?
Though Kakashi wasn't bad either, she knew Rin's personality. Once she set her mind on something, she was very stubborn. Not even nine bulls could drag her back, just like back when she insisted on enrolling in the ninja academy.
Rin also gave Nohara Haruki a reproachful look. Her own father, why was he so unserious now?
Then, she looked at Kakashi, curious, 'Didn't Obito say that in this world, Kakashi wasn't interested in any women and only liked reading Icha Icha Paradise?'
'Could it be… Kakashi recognizes me?'
Have to admit, the grown-up Kakashi exuded a kind of handsome uncle aura. But the whole person did look, just as Obito said, a bit worn out.
She put on a dangerous smile and asked, "Kakashi, do you really think so?"
Kakashi couldn't help but shiver. He was all too familiar with that smile, Rin always looked like that when she got angry.
But… following Obito to stir up trouble was really too dangerous.
In the end, he still insisted, "Can you agree to my request?"
Rin knew Kakashi was talking about staying in Konoha. Although she also wanted to spend a few more days with her parents, take care of them, give them some company...
But this time, she had come over thinking, some things had to be faced together.
She firmly shook her head, "Kakashi, I know you're doing this for me, but I refuse."
Kakashi sighed. He knew it would be like this.
At this point, Young Obito couldn't help saying, "I've long heard that Sharingan Kakashi is extremely powerful. I'd love to spar with you. How about we go to the training grounds and stretch out a bit later?"
The words were full of friendly tone, but Kakashi inexplicably felt that this guy definitely wanted to beat him up.
He had too many things to deal with now and didn't have time to spar with another world's Obito.
His tone was a little heavy, "I've already lost that eye, I can't carry that title anymore."
These words made Nohara Haruki's face change. He knew that Kakashi's Sharingan was a gift from his best friend Obito, something that he gave his life to protect.
Nohara Haruki couldn't care about the subtle atmosphere at the scene anymore and asked, "Kakashi, what happened?"
Kakashi just glanced at big Obito and slowly said, "Don't worry, Uncle, I didn't encounter much danger…"
"That eye… has already returned to its original owner."
Nohara Haruki suddenly understood, "So that's it. You were worried about dangers in the coming war and decided to bury it."
"That's good too. Although the name 'Sharingan Kakashi' is well-known, Kakashi, I still think the title you should inherit is 'White Fang'."
Everyone at the scene looked at Nohara Haruki with strange expressions, making him a bit confused.
He said, bewildered, "Did I say something wrong?"
Mrs. Nohara laughed and scolded, "Not a single word you said was right."
After speaking, Mrs. Nohara looked at Kakashi and asked with concern, "Kakashi, I heard you've become a high-ranking member of the Allied Shinobi Forces now. You must have a lot on your plate. This time you came rushing back to Konoha, did something happen?"
After speaking, Mrs. Nohara added, "Of course, if it's classified, just pretend I didn't ask."
Kakashi thought for a moment and said, "It's not some classified mission. It's just that earlier we rescued a woman from the Uzumaki clan. Her identity is a bit special, and this time I came specifically to bring her to Konoha."
