Scroll 4: The Third Uchiha [Naruto]

Chapter 29: Rin Uchiha [Shippuden]

**Authors Note: 

Will be reposting AOT story once I'm done editing. 

As I keep writing for Rin I'm trying to figure out how to do the war. I'm just trying to avoid massive jumps, but also the war in the series was only like two/three days. 

I know where Rin is/will be relative to the others. This thing is I never actually watched the full war episode by episode lol I just know what happens. 

For example, I knew Shikaku, Inoichi and Neji die, but I didn't realize that all happened while Sasuke was speaking with the former Kage. Basically, I think I know the highlights but not the full timeline.  

Anyways enough thinking out loud, please enjoy!

I decided to wait outside. It was difficult enough to walk through the compound streets, I knew I wasn't ready to go inside our childhood home. Not yet. Rin had changed some of the layouts of the streets which helped ease my memories, but our area of the compound remained the same. It was unsettling, yet comforting. Rin had said the same, that it took weeks for her to be able to sleep comfortably in the house, and she'd often sleep in the training fields. So, she understood my need to remain outside as she went in to search for something that I could wear.

"Alright, I brought you a few options" I stood from the porch, turning as she managed to close the door with one hand. She was in a fresh ANBU uniform, minus her mask. 

"Some of it is Dad's, and your old clothes but I'm not sure those will still fit" She explained as she set down the clothing on the porch. I took a pair of pants from the top of the pile and unfolded them. 

"Who's are these?" Rin glanced up as she sorted the clothes into piles.

"Oh, those are Kakashi's" I raised my brow, glancing at the pants then back at her.

"Why do you have Kakashi's pants?" Rin seemed confused for a moment as she looked at me. A light went off in her head as her cheeks turned pink.

"Right," She realized.

"Look, don't make it weird. He sleeps over often, so he has a drawer"

"You're together?"

"Do you really want to talk relationships?" She countered, laying out the shirts as she tried to hide her blush.

"I'd like to know a little more about your life after me," I replied. Rin sighed, stepping down from the porch as I looked over the rest of the options.

"We're together," Rin confirmed.

"And it's serious?" I asked. Rin smiled slightly.

"It hasn't been very long, but I love him. He has said the same."

"Hn, I'm surprised you'd select someone Father would have approved of." Rin smacked my arm, and I chuckled.

"I said don't make it weird," She reminded sharply.

"Sorry" I relented, and her blush finally faded. I picked up a shirt, eyeing the emblem on the back.

"That one is Fathers, you don't have to wear it if it makes you uncomfortable. I just wanted you to have something with our crest on it" She explained. I stared at the shirt and could almost hear our Father's voice.

"This will be fine"

"Oh, and your necklace I-"

"Keep it" I interrupted when she reached for it. She smiled.
