"Are you awake?"
At this moment, it was already evening, close to night.
Warm lights lit up outside the window, there were children playing and making noise on the streets, and all households had reached the time to get off work.
The Konoha Police Force is a decent system-internal job, so it strictly implements the 9-to-5 schedule, divided into early and night shifts.
Except for the captains and team leaders inside, and some special circumstances that require overtime, most Uchiha have returned home.
Rin remained silent. Her scattered pupils showed signs of focusing.
After a while, she had clear vision, no longer the confusion and blur of just now.
She dragged her hand, propped up her body halfway, and followed Kiyoshi's gaze, looking out the window.
There were thousands of lights there, but none belonged to her.
She once sought a response from the coveted lights.
Unfortunately, the lights did not respond to her…
Even so, Rin also decided to be a person who silently guards the lights.
She believed that one day, she would be able to wear away a stone with dripping water and move Kakashi's heart.
But thinking of this, Rin's heart clenched again.
How can she go to find Kakashi in this state?
But if she hadn't done this, how could she protect Kakashi's Sharingan?
In the final analysis, it is Kakashi who is not reassuring. After all, he has a suicidal father.
Konoha's White Fang was once so dazzling that even the Sannin would give way to him, but one day, he committed suicide at home in a cowardly manner.
The so-called like father, like son, who knows what Kakashi will be like?
"I will help you with the matter, and I will give you the result within a week." Kiyoshi turned around and said.
"Okay…" Rin nodded numbly.
But the sound startled her. Her voice had never been so hoarse.
All her strength had been exhausted.
Kiyoshi asked, "Do you want to stay for dinner?"
"No… no need." Rin shook her head.
She looked at the traces on the ground after practicing Water Release ninjutsu, and had a contradictory thought in her heart.
Sadness, nostalgia, and other emotions surged up.
She… was nostalgic?
Rin's face fluctuated.
Slowly supporting herself against the wall, she hurriedly said goodbye to Kiyoshi and walked outside.
Now, Kiyoshi will definitely do his best to help her. And she herself won't have guilt.
What is paid is…
Kiyoshi walked to the window, watching Rin below walk out of the gate and walk outwards along the street.
"The Three-Tomoe is in hand, the next step is the Mangekyō Sharingan." Kiyoshi thought to himself.
Now the pupil power is accumulating towards the Mangekyō Sharingan level.
At that stage, it is not as simple as the Sharingan nurturing the flesh and enhancing the basic strength of the ninja.
It will also give a unique Mangekyō pupil technique.
It is said that the Sharingan is the eye that reflects the heart, and it will reflect the deepest desires in the heart of the person.
Kiyoshi looked forward to what his Mangekyō pupil technique would be like.
As for the side effects of the Mangekyō, Obito and Danzo both solved it through Hashirama cells.
According to Danzo, he relied on the Yang Release from Hashirama cells to balance the Yin Release of the Sharingan, thus allowing him to use a whole arm of Sharingan.
The same goes for Obito, who used Kamui countless times, precisely because half of his body was transplanted with Hashirama cells.
The power of Yang Release can also be said to be the energy of the physical body, vitality, and so on.
Hashirama cells are the epitome of vigorous vitality, capable of sprouting a large tree in a matter of seconds.
Coincidentally, Kiyoshi's current vitality is also very vigorous.
It is comparable to the Uzumaki clan, even more vigorous than most Uzumaki clansmen.
This vitality can probably reduce the side effects of his use of the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Theoretically speaking, as long as Kiyoshi's vitality is strong enough, perhaps there will be no side effects from using the Mangekyo.
Not to mention that Kiyoshi also has the Trait Panel.
"I should first adapt to using the Three-Tomoe Sharingan."
Kiyoshi looked into the distance, his eyes were enough to be used as binoculars.
Under the nurturing of pupil power, the ability of "Farsight" has also been strengthened a lot.
As for how much boost the Three-Tomoe Sharingan will ultimately bring him, he needs a real battle to find out.
"Guren."
Kiyoshi went downstairs. His room is on the second floor, and the entire house has three floors.
"Go clean my room."
"Yes, Kiyoshi-sama."
Guren, who had just finished mopping the floor, dared not be negligent and hurriedly went up to the second floor to clean Kiyoshi's room.
"Did the water spill?"
Guren muttered to herself, looking at the messy ground.
She began a new round of labor, using a wrung-out rag to clean up the water stains.
…
"Should I be a little gentler with Rin?" Kakashi felt a little regretful at home.
After all, Rin is a kind girl. It's too bad to let a girl bear these pressures.
The book Intimate Paradise covered Kakashi's face.
This unpublished little yellow book by Kiyoshi had almost become Kakashi's spiritual pillar.
Only the tense and exciting, yet warm, and occasionally philosophical stories inside could make him temporarily forget the emptiness of reality.
"My left eye still hurts."
Kakashi covered his eyes, put down the book and went out. He wanted to clear his head alone.
"Rin?"
The street lamps on both sides of the street lit up.
Among the crowd, Kakashi saw a familiar figure. Subconsciously, he called out.
The person walking in front slowly turned her head.
'It really is Rin.' Kakashi thought to himself.
"Kakashi, what a coincidence." Rin's voice was hoarse.
Even to the point of having some voice change, which seemed very strange.
Kakashi keenly noticed this. He quickly crossed the crowd blocking the two of them and reached Rin.
The distance between the two was only one meter. Kakashi stopped here and did not go any further.
The small distance was like a chasm blocking the two of them.
Rin raised her eyes. The figures behind her were chaotic, like phantoms, only Kakashi stood in place.
Her lips, which were fuller than usual, opened and closed slightly, and a few sounds came out of her throat.
She wanted to say something but stopped.
Rin had a kind of joy that she wanted to share with Kakashi, telling him not to always think pessimistically.
Kiyoshi is willing to help, and with his status, he might be able to solve this matter.
But everything that had happened with Kiyoshi was like a basin of cold water poured on her.
On this sultry summer night, Rin felt cold.
The grievance was once again stuck in her throat, unable to be said.
