In the dark space, a thin humanoid outline could be vaguely revealed.

Sako stood on tiptoes, her iconic samsara eyes completely covered by her bangs.

It was strange that even though there was no wind, the ends of her hair kept fluttering in a weak and regular manner.

The girl walked slowly and carefully along the only road, stopping from time to time to look around. She looked like a lost traveler eager to find her destination.

Zuo Zi didn't know where this corridor led, let alone where he should go.

Her mind is now blank and she can only act based on instinct

"Naruto, where are you?…………"

Sakura's lips murmured the boy's name repeatedly, her eyes became increasingly blurred, and Zuo Zi's movements gradually became mechanical and monotonous.

She began to feel numb.

I wandered alone in endless despair for a long time, still unable to wait for a response.

The darkness seems to have no boundaries, it is the infinite chaos that transcends deathly silence, it is an extremely cold place forgotten by warmth, it is an absolute corner that even light cannot reach.

I���Approximately how long?

One hour? one day? ?

Or a month? ? ?

Or longer? ? ?…………

After much deliberation, I still can't come up with an accurate answer.

In desperation, Zuo Zi gave up thinking.

She shook her head vigorously, and the silky hair that was originally neat was thrown into a mess.

There is absolutely no point in continuing to dwell on these things. Without a reference, day and night will break away from the artificial boundaries and completely merge together, and the concept of time will cease to exist.

Zuo Zi's face was dull and his steps were as stiff as a walking corpse.

Fortunately, the dead don't get tired.

In theory, she can go on forever, until her memory collapses, time stops, and she goes beyond the end... and escapes the sad reincarnation that has been inescapable for thousands of years.

There is no exit at the end of the corridor, but a spiral staircase.

Winding and twisting, it seems to reach another end that is different from the pure land.

The girl walked up the familiar road.

She had no other choice.

Every time he takes a step forward, he will be swallowed up by the nothingness that follows.

Without warning, the whisper penetrated the curtain.

Familiar past memories emerged again and again, and began to play on a loop in the back of my mind without permission.

The girl saw the scene in Wave Country where she was seriously injured and fell into coma.

"Sako, please don't die...please wake up quickly………You are the most powerful...you are recognized as a genius by everyone.………Woohoo...please, open your eyes and look at me…………

I was wrong, you are right, I am an out-and-out loser... Wuwuwu... Zuozi, I'm sorry... I'm such a waste and I'm dragging you down.…………"

In the picture, the idiot with blond hair was crying heartbrokenly. The embarrassment of bursting snot bubbles was very funny. As for the tears, they kept falling down his cheeks as if they were free.

This statement is actually not very accurate.

After all, tears are free of charge.

But price is not the only criterion for measuring items.

Sometimes, the cheaper something is, the more precious it is.

Crane tail... It turns out that as early as that time, you already regarded me as"indispensable"?

Zuo Zi quietly stared at Naruto who was crying like a kitten, and an indescribable strangeness quietly rose in his heart.

At this moment, even she, who had always upheld the idea that man could conquer nature, had to lament the misfortune of her fate.

Fate is a very strange thing.

It seems within reach, yet seems so far away.

It is ethereal, obviously invisible and intangible, but it can really affect people's lives.

What is"fate"?

Some say it was an unexpected encounter; others say it was a tacit glance.

It's hard to agree on what everyone agrees on.

No matter how fierce the debate, the answer can never be unanimous.

There is no way, that guy Destiny is an illogical bastard who does everything based on his own preferences and interests.

But doing whatever you want doesn’t mean there are no rules to follow.

As a patient with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, he will carefully consider and carefully prepare the ending of each story at the beginning of each story, so as to achieve the effect of sealing the coffin in advance.

The scene continues to change. This time, the venue has arrived at the familiar Valley of the End.

…………

"Sako, are you crazy? Orochimaru simply wants your body to be a container for reincarnation!!!"

"Tsk...it doesn't matter, as long as she can complete her revenge, what if this broken body is given to her?"

"Don't go... Sako, stay here, just think it's for me.……"

"Are you kidding me? Uzumaki Naruto, what kind of determination do you think I have in defecting to Orochimaru? Compared with revenge, the so-called bond is worthless!!

No one can stop me from becoming stronger until I kill that beast Uchiha Itachi with my own hands!! Get out of the way!!!"

"I can't live without you anymore"

"So, do you have to let me stay in Konoha and play boring house games with you?"

"……"

"I don’t want to repeat the same thing a third time...get out of the way...the rear of the crane, don’t block the road."

"I won't let you fall into the darkness"

"What if I insist on committing suicide?"

"I'm sorry... Even if I break my hands and feet, I will take you back to the village by force"

"Hum, if you can do it, just give it a try."

Zhu's Rasengan and the Wailing Chidori complement each other.

It was the first time that the two of them fought for their lives.

The power of the Curse Seal of the Sky and the Nine-tailed Chakra were equally matched. In the end, Sako won this unlikely match with a slight advantage. It was time to fight.

At the critical moment, she used her overwhelming hatred for Uchiha Itachi to further break through her strength.

If everything went well, their paths would never cross again. But unfortunately, the reality was never smooth.

There are no protagonists or supporting characters in books. After all, there are only a few happy endings.

It is precisely because of regret that the preciousness of perfection is highlighted.

Parting is often accompanied by a bruised young man lying motionless under the heavy rain. In the mud, Zuo Zi lowered his head and kissed his forehead as fast as a dragonfly touching water.

…………

"Understand, you know, last time I just let you go because of my old relationship. If you still persist in your stubbornness and continue to hinder me, the outcome will not be as simple as being beaten up."

"……"

"You know, now I can kill you on a whim."

"Sako……"

"Humph, don't look pitiful. What, are you trying to gain sympathy?"

"I……"

"By the way, I remember your dream was to become Hokage, right?"

"Um……"

"So instead of chasing after me all day long, it would be better to spend more time practicing. Are you right? Crane tail…………"

"I can't even get my closest friend back. How can I, who has accomplished nothing like this, have the right to become the Hokage?"

On the Heaven and Earth Bridge, facing the pressing pressure he once faced, Naruto advanced instead of retreating.

It really...hasn't changed at all~~~

Sako's heart suddenly felt a trace of sadness.

At that time, she was too I was so ignorant that I didn’t know that all the gifts given by fate had been marked with a secret price.

Is it worth it to be rewarded with an unforgettable hard work for countless times? The girl smiled lightly.

Endless bitterness and melancholy.

The stairs extend step by step, as if...as you move forward, they continue to grow upward.

This time, you are missing from the picture.

…………

"Shikamaru, what do you mean?!!"

"Tsk, don't show that scary look... I'm just a microphone pushed out by everyone to convey opinions. Just yelling at me won't change anything."

"Have you already discussed this without my knowledge?"

"Well...those idiots know your temper very well, that's why they sent me to act as a lobbyist."

"Do you even want to persuade me to give up Zuo Zi?"

"if not?...Recognize the reality, Naruto, we are not children anymore.

Defecting Orochimaru, joining the Akatsuki organization, and arresting tailed beasts from other countries for no reason... what Uchiha Sako did has seriously affected the safety of the ninja world. No matter which one of them is singled out, it is a heinous crime, even if Tsunade-sama wants to I can’t even find a suitable reason to protect myself."

"……I believe she must have her own reasons"

"Everyone has their own difficulties. If you can harm others with peace of mind by relying on excuses to cover up, then there is no need for the law to exist."

"Sako is also a victim"

"Victimization does not equate to innocence. As contemporaries, we all hope that Sako can return from his lost ways, but will it work? You have been working hard for so many years, but she has not shown any signs of turning back... and is even sinking deeper and deeper into the darkness."

"……"

"From the moment she joined Akatsuki, Uchiha Sako was no longer the same person as us. Give up on her……"

"impossible"

"Uzumaki Naruto, are you serious?"

"nonsense!!! Even if it means death, I will drag her back from the abyss of nothingness……"

…………

"Yo~~Isn't this the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki brat? Come to pester my Zuozi again~~~"

"Shut up!! Don't talk about Sako like it's your own!!!"

"So who does she belong to? Is Konoha extremely hypocritical?"

"Sako belongs to no one, she is not an object!! No one, no organization, no force... has the right to influence her life!!!"

…………

"Lord Raikage, please withdraw the wanted order against Sako."

"Boy, are you crazy?"

"I understand that this request is unreasonable...but Sako is my friend, and I can't just watch my friend being killed and remain indifferent."

"Uzumaki Naruto, do you think that the heinous crimes committed by Uchiha Sako will be wiped out because of your unilateral confession?"

"but…………"

"Needless to say... Uchiha Sako is the murderer of my brother and must be brought to justice. The wanted order will not be revoked. No matter who pleads for mercy, the result will be the same."

"In this case, please be prepared."

"What preparation?"

"Preparations for war between Kumogakure and Konoha"

…………

"Itachi, have a good rest. You have made enough sacrifices for Konoha. You can rest assured to leave the rest to me."

"It seems that I was right to choose you... Naruto Uzumaki, you are indeed someone worthy of my trust."

"thank you for trusting me"

"It's me who thanks you"

"Ah? ?"

"Naruto...Sako, it's really a blessing among misfortunes that I can meet you."

———————— elder sister…………

The shouts that filled my ears gradually faded away, replaced by a flurry of echoes.

The revolving memories flowed page after page, finally settling on the young man's smile as warm as the sun.

A sense of familiarity washed over me.

The fragmented memory fragments were scattered everywhere. Sako tried his best to collect them, and then clumsily pieced them together into a blurry picture without color.

The sudden light is like a morning star.

Like a drowning man grabbing the last straw, the girl desperately chased after him.

Zuo Zi is getting closer and closer to that light... getting closer and closer…………When they were very close, an invisible wall separated them on both sides.

However, the beam of light, symbolizing hope, did not stop for a moment.

In order to avoid being enveloped in darkness again, Zuo Zi started to wave his fists randomly in panic.

"click…………"

The mirror shattered, and countless longitudinal cracks developed.

This proves that everything is over.
