Naruto: Konoha Silver Wolf

At this moment, Rin no longer pondered why Kakashi had changed so much. The Kakashi of the past would never have held her like this!

Even if she had considered it, Rin would have attributed Kakashi's transformation to the Battle of Kannabi Bridge. Moreover, Kakashi's changes made her like him even more, and she naturally accepted this new Kakashi!

With his arms tightly wrapped around Rin's slender, soft waist, breathing in the fragrance of her hair and the faint scent of her body, Kakashi felt very content. He had no impure thoughts; he simply wanted to hold Rin tightly!

Under the drifting trees, the two held each other tightly, feeling their heartbeats quicken for their sake.

"Rin, be my girlfriend. I will protect you forever!"

After a long, sweet silence, Kakashi finally broke it, gently whispering into Rin's ear.

Rin initially wanted to agree without a second thought, but upon hearing the latter part of Kakashi's words, her body trembled. She pushed Kakashi away, looking at him with a complex expression.

Kakashi was stunned, not understanding why Rin pushed him away. Was he too abrupt? Did Rin not like him at all? Had he misunderstood everything?

"Kakashi, I do like you very much! But I don't want you to accept me just because you promised Obito to protect me forever!"

Looking at Kakashi, Rin finally revealed the reason for pushing him away. Her eyes reddened, and tears welled up.

She had just remembered the moment when Kakashi promised Uchiha Obito. She recalled Kakashi's words, saying he would protect her because of Obito.

Thinking of this, Rin felt a painful tear in her heart. She liked Kakashi and wanted to be with him, but she didn't want this kind of acceptance. She wanted Kakashi to genuinely fall in love with her, not because of a promise to Obito.

Hearing this, Kakashi was speechless. He hadn't expected Rin to push him away for this reason! He admired her even more for seeking true love.

"Darn that stupid Kakashi!"

Kakashi cursed himself, or rather the original Kakashi. When he first came here, his soul was controlled by the original Kakashi, which led him to reject Rin's confession. Now, it had created trouble for himself!

"Rin, listen to me. I want to protect you forever, not because I promised Obito, but because I truly like you!"

Kakashi then looked earnestly at Rin. He had to clarify things now! Otherwise, even if Rin liked him, she might not accept being with him.

"You're lying! Then why did you reject me before?"

Rin looked at Kakashi's earnest eyes, startled, but quickly questioned him again.

"That's because Obito had just sacrificed himself, and it was my fault he died. He liked you very much, so I didn't dare to accept you even though I liked you. Obito died because of me, and I couldn't take away the girl he liked after his death!"

"But now I've realized that Obito also wanted me to accept you, so he entrusted me to protect you!"

"You must have felt my heartbeat just now speeding up because of you. I truly like you and want to be with you, not because of a promise to Obito!"

Hearing Rin's question, Kakashi defended himself without hesitation! Although not everything was true, his feelings for Rin were genuine!

Looking at Rin, Kakashi's eyes didn't waver, proving his sincerity.

"Really... really?"

Rin murmured in disbelief, her eyes filled with joy as she looked at Kakashi. She believed his words immediately! Overwhelmed by sudden happiness, her tears turned into tears of joy, and she threw herself into Kakashi's arms, her tears shining brightly in the air!

"Of course, it's true. Will you accept me now?"

Holding Rin, Kakashi asked again.

After asking, Kakashi grew nervous again, anxious about whether Rin would accept him. His heart pounded, and Rin, leaning against his chest, noticed it.

"Yes!"

Knowing Kakashi's true feelings, how could Rin refuse? Happily, she softly responded, her face blushing with excitement, looking incredibly cute and endearing!

Seeing Rin's adorable expression, Kakashi couldn't hold back any longer. He pulled down his mask and pressed his lips to hers.
