Karin opened her eyes and chuckled as she patted a tree branch.
Instantly.
A wooden slide appeared on the branch.
Karin sat on it and slid down.
"Hello~
I'm Karin~"
"Wood Release?"
Izumi glanced at Karin with some surprise.
Then she smiled and said, "I'm Violet."
When she smiled, her large eyes turned into crescent moons.
She looked very gentle and cute.
"Please take care of me in the future!"
"You too~"
After briefly getting to know each other, the two maidens headed straight for Kirigakure.
Their mission this time was to go to Kirigakure to abduct... no, to save a little loli!
Because the two belonged to the same Organization.
And they were both young girls around 12 years old.
There were no generation gaps.
And they were both inherently kind.
So, before long, the two became familiar with each other.
Their conversation gradually became more "girly."
"Violet, do you have someone you like?
I remember that the meaning of purple violets is 'loving you in a dream'!
Who have you loved in your dreams?"
"Uh..."
Izumi's face flushed at the question.
"That was just a dream for me~
It's impossible between us!"
"Huh?
Something's going on?"
Karin leaned closer, "Tell me!
Tell me!"
"I can't say!"
"You have to say!"
Karin reached out to tickle Izumi's armpits.
The two girls started playfully wrestling.
Although, considering their strength.
This action was very childish.
But.
Karin had been lonely since childhood and had never experienced friendship.
Izumi had suffered the destruction of her clan and was deeply saddened.
Therefore, both of them were cherishing the warmth of this friendship at this moment.
"Hahaha...
Okay, okay, I surrender!"
After a period of playful roughhousing.
Izumi pushed Karin away with a smile.
Then she revealed a secret to forcibly change the subject.
"I can't talk about that person.
However, I can tell you about someone else!
Hmm~"
"My first love."
"First love?"
Karin asked curiously, "Why don't you like him anymore?"
"Because he killed my entire family."
"Uh..."
Karin shivered inwardly as she looked at Izumi, who was radiating a chilling aura.
"If he had only killed me.
I might have been able to forgive him and understand his hardships.
Perhaps I would have forgiven him.
But, he killed my entire family.
For his brother, for the so-called peace of the village.
He sacrificed the entire clan.
He committed the act of slaughtering his own clan.
Unforgivable.
No matter what hardships he faced, it's unforgivable!
At that time, I watched with my own eyes as my family died before me.
Such a great vendetta.
I wished I could have run him through with a sword.
All the vague good feelings I once had vanished that night.
They transformed into hatred."
Looking at Izumi, who calmly recounted such a world-shattering event, Karin couldn't help but feel a little scared.
"You... you're not planning to kill him, are you!?"
"Kill him?"
Izumi smiled and shook her head, "After being enlightened by the Holy Lord, I've decided to cut ties with the past.
Because when I thought about it carefully.
Killing him would be too easy for him.
It's better to let him live healthily.
To live in eternal torment.
How many floors can you carry a bag of rice up? Two floors!"
"Uh..."
Karin's eyes immediately turned blank.
"So... so scary..."
"Don't worry~"
Izumi smiled, her eyes crescent-shaped, and looked at Karin.
"Everything is secondary to the mission!
I won't disobey the Holy Lord's orders.
Whatever the Holy Lord tells me to do, I'll do~"
At this moment.
Her cheeks flushed slightly.
Because she thought of that dream again...
After she was resurrected by Bai Hao.
Although she was always confined by Bai Hao's power and in a comatose state, she had vague memories of everything that happened then.
For example, Bai Hao gently fed her food and water, gently tucked her in, gently massaged her muscles, and gently helped her use the restroom...
Although it was a bit embarrassing.
But because it was a dream, her mind always added some beautiful associations.
For example...
Greeting each other under the cherry blossom trees in the morning, leisurely strolling on streets paved with golden-yellow ginkgo leaves at dusk.
Sometimes playing with cats, sometimes flirting on the Hokage Rock, sometimes talking about love at the dango shop.
Afterwards, she was severely injured and became disabled.
Bai Hao remained by her side, unwavering.
He took care of her with great tenderness.
Such a beautiful dream.
A beautiful dream, the complete opposite of that terrifying nightmare she could never forget.
It captivated her.
Upon waking, she was astonished to discover.
Her dream lover had actually become the Holy Lord!
This left her shocked, yet also a little disappointed.
So, she prepared to bury this impossible love deep within her heart.
The name Violet was also inspired by this dream.
However.
Bai Hao, unaware of the truth, misinterpreted her feelings.
He thought she was still thinking about Itachi Uchiha.
He even added, "I hope you wake up from your dream soon."
"Hehehe..."
Karin pushed up her glasses and let out a dry chuckle.
"This is good~"
With that, she began to change the subject.
"Oh, right!"
