Acting and Lamentation

The Three Ninja coup d'état incident had earned Wang Yan a large number of Resource Points.

Money only had value when it circulated. If it was merely stored away, it was nothing more than a meaningless number.

Resource Points were the same.

Without hesitation, he spent 5,000 Resource Points to create a Resurrection Cross Charm.

The Assistant Program's voice suddenly rang in his ear. "Lord Main God, please set the resurrection location."

If Reincarnators were willing to spend 5,000 Reward Points and two B-Rank Destiny Gems to exchange for a Resurrection Cross Charm, they could not choose the location. They could only revive where they had died after a period of time.

Compared to them, Wang Yan's was much more flexible.

"Can I set it on Earth?" A trace of anticipation flashed through his eyes.

The Assistant Program remained utterly emotionless. "Unable to set. Earth's universal coordinates are currently unavailable."

"Then set it beside Konoha's Hokage Monument." Wang Yan sighed.

"Location set."

After finishing this, Wang Yan rubbed the unique little ornament in his hand and spent one Resource Point to exchange for a thread called Ice Silkworm Silk. He casually strung it into a necklace and hung it around his neck.

"This thing is pretty unique, and it can even revive someone without any loss. Unfortunately, each person can only use one."

It was equivalent to a second layer of insurance. He might not need it, but he had to have it.

"The inventory currently holds 152,259 Resource Points. Including the 5,001 points I just used... Heh... Tsunade and the others worked quickly. Another 1,000 points have already come in."

After sighing with emotion, Wang Yan held his breath and focused, recalling the battle he had just witnessed through the Three Ninja's perspectives.

He had originally thought that as long as he saw someone make a move once, he could learn their techniques after studying seriously for a few days.

Now that he thought about it, he had still underestimated himself.

Through the Reincarnators' perspectives—the Three Ninja's—Wang Yan had observed and analyzed Might Guy's movements from every angle.

The exertion of every muscle fiber, the path of every wisp of Chakra, the fluctuations of every faint breeze...

Everything had entered his sight.

"Eight Inner Gates... not hard to learn."

Wang Yan's gaze was deep and distant.

As a purebred Earthling, there was no trace of Chakra within his body.

However, there were always more solutions than problems.

With only a slight turn of thought, the mitochondria in every one of Wang Yan's cells generated pure life energy under the enhancement of Telekinesis. This life energy harmonized with Spiritual Power. After being strengthened, refined, and condensed through Telekinesis, it possessed properties similar to Chakra, yet surpassed Chakra in quality.

"This energy can completely replace Chakra and drive the Eight Inner Gates. However, while it is stronger than Chakra, it is slightly weaker than Sage Chakra."

He understood that Natural Energy was the key.

The problem was that the composition of the air in the Naruto World was completely different from Earth's. It would be extremely difficult to distinguish every component.

"I've already seen Jiraiya's Sage Mode..."

Wang Yan closed his eyes and recalled the characteristics of that similar aura Kaguya Kimimaro and Jugo had displayed during the battle.

"The relevant database has already been established. As long as I make a few comparisons, I'll be able to comprehend the critical points..."

"It will probably take half an hour."

Wang Yan calculated the time required.

Because he had completely analyzed Kotoamatsukami, once he mastered Natural Energy, even Susanoo would be easy for him to use.

Skills never weighed a person down. He never refused progress.

"Half an hour from now, they should be out as well."

Wang Yan's gaze fell upon the five people currently fighting in the game world of "Shadow Breaking the Firmament," and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

The happiness of a privilege dog was often built upon the suffering of others.

Shadow City, once as vast and majestic as nature's divine craftsmanship, had lost its former grandeur.

More than half the city had shattered, and houses, shops, gambling dens, inns, hotels, and everything else had been reduced to ruins.

The battle between Gaara and Sasuke Uchiha had darkened the heavens and blotted out the sun and moon.

Countless residents and tourists fled into the distance and looked up at the sky.

Their faces were filled with hatred and confusion.

The two people fighting were clearly only teenagers. How could they achieve such a level of destruction?

Sakura and Naruto, who were doing their best to play the roles of bystanders, exchanged a glance. Neither of them felt very good.

"Is this really just a fake world?"

Naruto felt miserable. He looked dejected and listless.

Sakura sighed, rubbing her throbbing temples with a complicated tone. "I thought that previous year had already been hard enough, but I didn't expect this time to be even more outrageous... How many people died? A thousand? Ten thousand? A hundred thousand? Or even more?"

"If we enter this kind of game again, we absolutely have to block our memories of the real world! Otherwise, we'll definitely go insane!"

As the two communicated from afar, the clash in the sky was nearing its end.

"Forbidden Scientific Technique! Chidori Explosion!"

Sasuke roared. Blackish-purple lightning swirled around the glove on his left hand, radiating boundless light and heat.

It was as though he held a sun in his hand!

Buzzz...

A mushroom cloud rose, and in an instant, half the city was reduced to ashes.

Gaara, who bore the brunt of the attack, had his pupils instantly contract into dangerous needle-like slits. Every hair on his body stood on end, yet he was unable to resist.

He had already used every trump card he possessed.

He had never expected Sasuke Uchiha to be this strong.

Had his three years of training still been no match for the other party's talent?

No...

Those three years of training had been effective!

At the most critical moment, Rasa, who had always played the role of a Pocket Grandpa, crawled out from Gaara's necklace.

He exhausted all his soul energy and turned into a protective barrier that enveloped Gaara.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...

The sun in Sasuke's hand finally went out.

And Rasa's soul scattered completely, vanishing without a trace.

"How could this be..."

Gaara had survived, but his eyes were vacant, as if he had lost all fighting spirit.

Rasa had died in his place.

He did not understand why Rasa had done this. Their relationship had clearly only been a union of interests...

Even when merely swept by the aftermath of that strange Forbidden Scientific Technique, he could feel his body rapidly collapsing.

His Chakra melted away like snow under the blazing sun, while his strength vanished even faster. It felt as if every drop of blood in his body was swiftly withering, drying up, and decaying.

Having fought to the final moment, Sasuke and Gaara could no longer maintain their ability to fly and plummeted directly to the ground.

"Die!"

Chidori sang in Sasuke's hand as he aimed straight for Gaara's heart.

No sooner said than done!

A golden flash rushed between them.

Splat!

Blood sprayed everywhere!

It was Naruto Uzumaki!

At the most critical moment, he had blocked that fatal killing move for Gaara!

The price was a huge hole in his heart.

Sasuke pulled out his bloodstained hand with a complicated expression and began gasping violently.

"Run... quickly..."

In the world of Shadow Breaking the Firmament, Naruto was ultimately just an ordinary person who could not cultivate Chakra. A ruptured heart made it impossible for him to keep living. He only barely managed to utter two words before his breath completely faded.

"No!"

Gaara's pupils turned blood-red, and the Chakra around his body erupted.

The smoke and sand filling the city transformed into golden blades that swept through the air in an instant.

Whoosh!

Sasuke's fine head flew into the sky, blood spraying three yards high.

Not far away, Sakura Haruno began wailing like a madwoman.

Without waiting for Gaara to act, she stabbed a knife into her own heart and twisted it halfway around.

She had been buried alongside Sasuke.

"...It's over..."

Gaara wore the expression of someone utterly broken, his eyes hollow and vacant.

All his enemies were dead.

Yet his only two friends had also died because of him.

"In the end, I'm still alone."

Gaara clutched his chest and collapsed to the ground in despair.

He wanted to cry, but no tears would come.

He wanted to scream, but when he opened his mouth, he found that something seemed to be blocking his throat.

In extreme sorrow, there were no tears. In extreme pain, there were no wounds.

Great sorrow made no sound.

Only at this moment did he finally realize...

What he had wanted had never been revenge.
