This is a masterpiece!\" Tobi declared proudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far away, Chihori watched them with a gentle smile on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Obito, who had just stepped out of the cave, felt his eye twitch at the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a long moment, he stood there in silence, uncertain if bringing Tobi in as Karin's playmate was a wise choice. Because if this little idiot started influencing her taste...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He imagined, for one horrifying moment, Karin growing up obsessed with... poop art.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito shivered. Yeah, no. He was not letting that timeline happen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah! Madara-sama!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over here, seeing Obito come out, Karin immediately tossed her scribbled paper aside and began waddling over, arms outstretched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Madara~!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reached him, hugged his leg tight, and looked up with a big smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito smiled back faintly, then bent down and scooped her up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except Karin wasn't the type to sit still. No sooner was she in Obito's arms than her chubby little hands were reaching straight for his mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knock~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Obito flicked her forehead lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk. Little Karin is being naughty again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Woo~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karin pouted, rubbing her forehead with both pudgy hands, looking thoroughly betrayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I don't even know what Madara-sama looks like... lemme see~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice cut in just then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Evening, Yugao One-san.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, Karin stiffened like a guilty puppy, shrinking back and curling up in Obito's arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did Karin-chan only see your Madara-sama and forget about poor Yugao ne-san?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yugao stood behind Obito, arms crossed, expression suspicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No—nooo, of course I saw Yugao-san too!\" Karin muttered, trying to bury her head into Obito's cloak like a turtle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsk~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito watched with a smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly, there's always a bigger fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Madara-sama!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Tobi jogged over with his usual enthusiasm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You found it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm,\" Tobi nodded with exaggerated mystery, saying nothing more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In that case, let's go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito gently handed Karin off to Yugao.

Even though it was already March, the whole place remained covered in snow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once, the people here lived in peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, the pristine snow was stained red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside a house, bodies lay strewn across the white. Some still held hoes, some firewood knives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One unlucky soul had an ice pick shoved through his mouth. Every face was frozen in fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom... Mom...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the house, surrounded by more corpses, a small boy with dark hair sobbed as he clung to a lifeless young woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her blood had long stopped flowing—frozen into brilliant, crystal-like red ice beneath her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the space inside the room twisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A masked figure stepped out beside the grieving child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh... huh. Now that's some timing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito tilted his head, taking in the carnage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just happened to notice this kid had ice powers,\" a voice said beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A White Zetsu emerged, arms crossed like he'd just delivered breaking news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Figured he was the one you were looking for, so I hit you up quick.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only stepped away for half a day and this whole mess happened.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, dead is dead. Not my problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he looked down at the child curled up at his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By this time, the black-haired child had stopped crying. He was now staring blankly at the two unexpected guests, his eyes dry and silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's your name?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Haku.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The child stared at Obito in a daze. After a brief pause, he finally answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How old are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Four years old.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito looked at Haku, who answered so obediently, and a faint smile curled the corner of his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then come with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where are we going?\" Haku blinked, clearly confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To your new home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"New... home?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haku's expression froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right, a new home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito nodded, then extended his hand toward the child sitting in the bloodstained room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your home has been destroyed. But it's okay. I'll take you to a new one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There... you'll find a new family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"New... family…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haku murmured softly. The dull glaze in his eyes flickered, and slowly...hesitantly he raised his small hand and placed it into Obito's outstretched one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That evening, the sun painted the sky in shades of red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito returned to Base 2 with Haku in tow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He led the child through the cave, past the twisting stone corridor, and stopped before what appeared to be a blank wall. Without hesitation, he walked forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they stepped through the illusion barrier, the space ahead opened up into the wide expanse of the base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From now on, this will be your home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haku nodded eagerly, his eyes gleaming as he took in his surroundings with childlike curiosity and growing hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a purple blur appeared in front of them like a flash of lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Welcome back,\" Yugao said, having arrived with the instantaneous technique. She gave Obito a glance before turning to the newcomer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She blinked. Then beamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So cute! Where'd you kidnap such an adorable little girl?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito stared blankly, deadpan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean kidnap? Can't a man just be naturally charming and loved by children?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yugao just smiled and gave him a look. That kind of look. The \"sure, buddy\" look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And anyway... what are you even talking about? He's a boy,\" Obito muttered, lips twitching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeah... He'd checked during the trip back. This one was definitely a fake girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A... A boy?\" Yugao blinked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Male.
