Naruto: This Uchiha is too innocent.

When exactly did I start paying attention to Uchiha Sora?

As Nohara Rin peeked out of her warm bed at dawn, this thought quietly crept into her mind like the morning mist. It took her a while to recall the day she first encountered Uchiha Sora…

That was her first day at the Ninja Academy. Perhaps because of her delicate and adorable appearance, she attracted a lot of attention as soon as she entered the classroom. Especially a boy with an afro, whose eyes were fixed on her as if he had seen some rare treasure. Later, she learned that the boy's name was Uchiha Obito, but that didn't matter much.

As she entered the classroom, she proudly raised her head, basking in the attention and feeling an indescribable joy welling up inside her. Soon, she was one of the students, and with their exaggerated praise, her self-esteem felt a surge of satisfaction she had never experienced before.

However, amidst the lively atmosphere, a unique figure quietly caught her attention. While all the boys sported neat short hair, he was the only one with long hair, which swayed gently behind him, making him exceptionally striking. She thought this boy was very handsome.

"What's your name?"

Having just emerged from the adulation of her classmates, she walked right up to Uchiha Sora, her tone carrying a barely perceptible hint of arrogance.

She had assumed that the boy would be just as eager as the other boys in the class to show off in front of her.

But she failed. When the boy heard her question, he just glanced at her calmly and then ignored her.

Other proud girls would definitely be furious in this situation, but she found that she wasn't angry at all. Instead, she felt a sense of pleasure when she met those indifferent eyes.

If it were any other boy, she would be overjoyed if she took the initiative to talk to him, but the contrast with Uchiha Sora deeply attracted her.

"Hello, could you tell me your name?"

She changed her tone, and to be honest, this was the real her; it was just that the other boys' waiting for her had made her feel flattered.

Uchiha Sora still didn't answer; the aloof boy seemed to have absolutely no interest in her.

She remembered what her mother had told her that morning: "Lin, remember to introduce yourself to your new classmates."

"My name is Nohara Rin. What's your name?"

This time, the boy finally reacted. A ripple appeared in his usually indifferent eyes. He looked directly at her for a while, then suddenly smiled faintly and reached out his hand to her.

"Hello, my name is Uchiha Sora."

She was very happy, thinking that her mother's words were indeed useful. However, she was also a little puzzled. Uchiha Sora looked at her differently than other boys, with a strong interest, as if he had seen an interesting toy.

However, she soon discovered that her mother's advice was not helpful, because many girls had also taken the initiative to introduce themselves to Uchiha Sora, but the latter did not show any interest.

In short, Uchiha Sora's aloof and distant temperament attracted her like a magnet.

From then on, driven by this irrepressible curiosity, she always took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Uchiha Sora. The other boys in the class, seeing that their goddess was actually Uchiha Sora's devoted admirer, all glared at him with hostility, baring their teeth. Uchiha Obito was the most vehemently hostile.

She was deeply captivated by Uchiha Sora's maturity beyond his years. He was like the older brother next door, always giving her a sense of security, making her unconsciously succumb to his charm amidst her shyness. Thus, in a short period of time, Nohara Rin was the leader of the boys in her class, but in front of Uchiha Sora, she became the little sister next door.

During that time, a girl named Kurenai Yuhi was always around Uchiha Sora, constantly pestering her. She quickly became close friends with Kurenai Yuhi, and the two soon became inseparable confidantes.

Kurenai Yuhi, precocious in her personality, would often openly confide in Rin Nohara about her love for Sora Uchiha, even declaring that she would become Sora's wife when she grew up. Under Kurenai's daily influence, her initial simple, brotherly dependence on Sora gradually transformed into a shy, girlish affection.

Unlike Kurenai's boldness and straightforwardness, she kept her feelings buried deep in her heart. Every time she was alone with Uchiha Sora, she would involuntarily blush and her heart would race.

Thinking of this, Nohara Rin buried her head in the soft pillow. Soon after, she started rolling around in bed, feeling both sweet and troubled.

"Ugh, when will I finally have the courage to confess to Sora...?" she murmured softly.

"Lin, could you please go buy some groceries?" Her mother's voice came from outside the door.

"Okay," she replied, got dressed, and headed to the market.

To her surprise, when she returned home after buying groceries, she saw Uchiha Sora standing there in a daze on the street, and her heart leaped with joy.

"Empty?" she asked, puzzled.

"Rin, what are you doing here?" Uchiha Sora seemed somewhat surprised.

The chance encounter on the street filled her with joy, and when she learned that Uchiha Sora didn't know where to go, her joy was palpable.

This must be an opportunity given to me by God! She thought to herself and extended an invitation to Uchiha Sora.

She was so excited when the latter agreed that she almost jumped for joy.

"Today I must create unforgettable memories for Sora, I... I'm going to confess my feelings!"

That was her original plan, until Obito Uchiha suddenly appeared out of nowhere. When Obito, like a persistent leech, decided to come to her house, she had the idea of ​​punching him to death.

"Ugh, I finally got a chance to be alone with Sora! That damn Obito!!!" she roared inwardly, but in order to maintain her obedient girl image in front of Uchiha Sora, she forced a smile on the surface and did not refuse Obito's sudden arrival.

She thought to herself, "I'll find an opportunity later to have Obito go out and buy drinks, and then I'll confess to Sora."

until……

"Empty," Hinata greeted.

When Nohara Rin saw Hinata Ame, a knot formed in her heart, and she had a bad feeling.

This girl is so pretty, and she even knows Kong.

But she had no recollection of Hinata Amane, which means that this girl met Sora without her knowledge.

"However, since Kong came to my house today, I have the advantage," she thought to herself.

……

"Ugh! How can this woman be so shameless? Do I even know you?!" Nohara Rin thought to herself, her voice ringing out like a thousand birds.

However, in order to maintain her persona, she ultimately did not refuse Hinata Ame's joining.

Waaaaah, this is such a rare chance to be alone...

Nohara Rin doesn't laugh.
