What does death feel like?
Kakashi had imagined it many times, but until the moment of his death, all he felt was endless emptiness.
The memories in his mind were constantly replayed. Kakashi felt as if he was drowning and was gradually being submerged in the darkness. Thinking of the last moment of his life, he subconsciously murmured, "Lin, I actually..."
Just when he was about to continue blaming himself, Kakashi suddenly saw Kakkō in the darkness, and his body instinctively Earth Flow turned toward the light. When he saw the familiar back, the young man burst into tears. "Father, have you been looking at me?"
"Kakashi, I'm so sorry that you came here so early."
"Speaking of which, it's all my fault. Your mother will definitely blame me when she sees you."
Hatake Sakumo next to the campfire looked guilty, and the young boy Kakashi threw himself into his father's arms. He had imagined such a scene too many times, but he never expected it to appear "after death".
"Is it really influenced by me? Xiuya reminded me at the beginning."
"I'm really ashamed that I'm not as good as a child, and my will is no more than this."
"Kakashi, let's talk about your experience over the past few years."
Hatake Sakumo hugged his son with a sad look on his face. The words Shu Furukawa reminded him back then seemed to come true one by one. Children who lack father's love and experience killing are prone to extreme emotions. He was the one who caused Kakashi's fault.
Death seems to stop the passage of time. Kakashi talks about his experiences over the years.
The principle of giving up companions because of the mission and giving up the mission because of the companions.
Kakashi recalled the ninja life over the years, told about the growth in strength of Shu Furukawa and Might Guy, and when talking about Yu Lin's death being saved by Obito, the boy cried again, "Can you still cry after death?"
Kakashi was a little confused, but seeing his father's smile, he put this idea behind him.
"All ninjas make mistakes, but fortunately you always have companions who believe in you."
Hatake Sakumo sighed, looked at his son again, and said guiltily, "I know the doubts in your heart. Choosing suicide is a way of escape, and it is also an invisible resistance."
"Ninja is not a tool, at least Konoha Ninja shouldn't be a tool."
"I don't have a firm will, let alone the courage to change the world of ninjas. Living driftingly will only make you bear this shackles since childhood."
Kakashi can already understand his father's choice. He has observed it for so many years. The so-called Will of Fire has long since split. Ninjas have become self-tooled and no one can change it.
"Father, you are not wrong."
"No one can change the world. All we can do is change ourselves. Unfortunately, I understood it too late and broke the agreement with my companions..."
"In this cruel ninja world, you are still the hero in my heart after making such a choice."
Kakashi lowered his head and shed tears again after saying these words. Only after death did he realize what he had missed.
Hatake Sakumo smiled in relief, and it seemed like a good result to be forgiven by Jizi after his death. "Thank you, Kakashi, it's great to see you again."
When the father and son were about to get up and leave together, a light green light suddenly appeared on Kakashi's body. Hatake Sakumo looked at his son's surprised expression and chuckled, "It seems that I can only go Pure Land to see your mother alone."
"Kakashi, promise me, live well, no matter what happens, you must live."
"If you can, find a girlfriend. Although I can't see you getting married, I will bless you at Pure Land."
"I really want to see you grow up again. Will I have lovely grandchildren?"
Kakashi was about to respond after hearing the instructions, but a force pulled him back into the darkness. Finally, the boy who shouted "Father" lost consciousness again.
"Is this Pure Land? Teacher Sakumo."
Hatake Sakumo, who was about to leave, suddenly heard a somewhat familiar voice. Shu Furukawa, who was in spirit state, was already very thin when he came here, and could only vaguely retain his human form.
"Xiu, is it really you who rescued Kakashi?"
"Teacher is indeed here. It's great to see you again. Unfortunately, I don't have much time. This may be the rule of Pure Land."
Shu Furukawa's spirit body is still working hard to sense, trying to leave coordinates in this world, but a force that he cannot sense is crushing his spirit body, and [Collection]'s energy is dissipating rapidly.
Hatake Sakumo stepped forward and hugged the blurred spirit body. He had no regrets anymore and shouted loudly, "Live well and cultivate!"
"Don't limit yourself to being a ninja. I'm sorry. If you can, please help my failed father take care of Kakashi."
"Don't worry, Teacher Sakumo, I will help you see that Kakashi continues the bloodline..."
When Hatake Sakumo heard these words, Shu Furukawa's spirit body had dissipated, and he was the only one left by the campfire.
He didn't want to think about why Shu Furukawa came to this place, nor did he want to think about the cause of his son's death. Hatake Sakumo could feel Shu Furukawa's sincerity. As a deceased person, he chose to believe. "Kakashi, I can finally see your mother..."
In the east of Land of Fire, under the moonlight, the broken Kirigakure Ninja body and the blood-soaked ground showed that a massacre had occurred before.
In this environment, a girl with long orange hair wearing a mask was talking to herself around two corpses. If anyone else saw this scene, they would most likely think that the girl was crazy.
"What's going on? Your technique seems to be malfunctioning?"
"Shu Furukawa, where have you been? Don't leave..."
"Don't shout anything disgusting, I'm not interested Tenten watching you twisting your body in front of the mirror at night."
Mei Terumi yelled with some defense. Halfway through the words, a familiar voice appeared in her mind. The girl stopped talking, and the joy in her heart began to emerge uncontrollably.
"Observe carefully, it turns out that manipulating others to complete this forbidden technique consumes a lot of money..."
"It doesn't matter. I'll kill more ninjas targeting Kekkei Genkai when I get back!"
Shu Furukawa's spirit body was speechless and ignored the increasingly nervous girl. It concentrated on observing the two people in front of it.
One's Own Life Reincarnation, this immature forbidden technique, exploded with astonishing power under the blessing of Shu Furukawa[Collection] energy. The experiment was successful, and he once reached the edge of Pure Land.
The two Kirigakure Anbu have long since died, the fatal wound on Rin Nohara's heart has healed, and most of the hideous wound on the chest of Kakashi beside him has also healed.
"It seems to have failed. How can we resurrect the dead?"
"What happened to these Anbu, Wood Release? What are those swirling injuries?"
Mei Terumi squatted beside the two of them and muttered to himself. When he saw the dead girl coughing, he sat on the ground in surprise. He noticed that the other boy opened his eyes and exclaimed, "You really did it?!"
Shu Furukawa, who worked hard to sense the status of the two people, recorded the resurrection process. We need to continue to observe in the future. In this world with the extraordinary power of Chakra, it is very strange to be resurrected from the dead.
When Kakashi opened his eyes, he saw the stars in the night sky, and the pain on his chest seemed to remind him that he was still alive in this world.
Kakashi suddenly thought of something and immediately raised his upper body. He saw Rin Nohara next to him staring at him with a confused expression. The boy immediately hugged the girl tightly and unconsciously repeated his apology, "I'm sorry, Lin! I'm sorry..."
Rin Nohara still had confusion in her eyes. She just felt that the boy holding her was very close. She subconsciously buried her head on his shoulder and responded softly, "It's okay, don't cry!"
"We are lovers... Xiu, if I die too, will you..."
"How stupid can you be to die at the hands of an ordinary ninja with my help?"
After Mei Terumi received the response, he immediately stood up and cursed loudly alone. Shu Furukawa's spirit body was still trying to observe, and noticed Rin Nohara's confused look. He secretly thought in his heart, "Is it a problem with the technique, or will Pure Land erase the memory?"
"Kakashi seems to be fine. Is it because teacher Sakumo's protection has played a role?"
Kakashi, who was crying while hugging Rin Nohara, then noticed that there was someone else here. He looked at Kirigakure Anbu, who was talking to himself, and subconsciously touched the dagger on his back.
After touching everything, Kakashi thought of something, hugged Rin Nohara and asked in a deep voice, "Did you save us?"
Mei Terumi immediately regained his cool temperament, raised his head slightly, looked at the two people who had come back from the dead and said proudly, "Hatake Kakashi, you should understand what happened!"
"If you want to repay this kindness, you can do two things for me in the future. You can refuse, but I will personally take your life back when the time comes."
The girl's clear voice made Kakashi realize that the other party was not too old. He didn't know what happened, but since he survived, he couldn't give up easily. "As long as you don't betray the interests of the village, you can give me orders at any time."
"I will bear her share, and I will do what I say."
Mei Terumi still wanted to continue playing the savior, until Shu Furukawa reminded Konoha Ninja that she was almost there. She reluctantly nodded, looked at the confused Rin Nohara, and whispered to Kakashi again, "Take care of her, don't let me down."
Seeing Mei Terumi disappearing into the ground, Kakashi let out a long breath. Only then did he have time to observe the surrounding situation, but he was shocked again.
Kirigakure Anbu died too tragically. Broken limbs and corpses were everywhere, and blood even filled some pits. He first looked at his and Lin's clothes and found that someone seemed to have tidied them up.
"What happened?"
Kakashi muttered in confusion, then pulled Rin Nohara to stand up. He noticed the girl's confused eyes, felt a pain in his heart, and asked hurriedly, "Lin, are you okay? How does it feel here?"
Kakashi directly covered the girl's chest with his right hand. Although he had lost his memory, Rin Nohara still felt embarrassed and weakly held the boy's wrist, with a blush on his pale face. "Don't be like this, I can't remember..."
Somewhat embarrassed, he retracted his arm. Kakashi looked at Rin Nohara who was unable to lean on his shoulders and secretly let out a sigh of relief. Amnesia is better than death. After all, there is still a possibility of cure. "Lin, I will definitely protect you this time."
Mei Terumi, who returned to the coastline, was still complaining about the operation. Shu Furukawa heard the girl kept nagging and helplessly responded, "I killed the old man Third Mizukage, and I also killed the two Ninja Blade holders next to me."
"If I'm not wrong, Suikazan Fuguki will most likely fight for the position of Mizukage. He doesn't have time to pay attention to a small role like you."
"Kirigakure There should be civil strife, and the people who control you should be completely dead soon."
"A soul without physical nourishment cannot stay in this world for a long time. You just need to be prepared to kill. If you persist for a few years, I will help you take over the position of Mizukage."
Mei Terumi started the engine on the wooden boat, took off his mask, hugged his knees and felt the sea breeze blowing against his face. "Why do you want to help me? With your ability, you have no problem controlling Land of Fire, right?"
Shu Furukawa transformed some of the remaining energy of the spirit body and simply healed the girl's wounds. Feeling the girl's gratitude, she simply responded, "After all, my power comes from the teacher's teachings. Senjutsu is not an ordinary power."
"It is a principle to repay a favor. More importantly, Land of Fire is too big and its goal is too obvious. Kirigakure is independent overseas and can develop secretly."
Mei Terumi nodded. She usually tried to control her emotions and witnessed the resurrection from the dead. She became a little more emotional once again. "If I die, will you risk your life to revive me?"
"It's a boring question. As long as I'm here, you can't die at all. The distance that the spirit body can cross is beyond your imagination. You are the future Mizukage. Those little characters cannot pose any threat to you."
"Asshole, you know what I want to hear!"
After Mei Terumi complained, she finally heard the expected promise. The girl entered a state of self-deception again, put on a mask to cover her red face, and secretly made up her mind. "Kill more ninjas who oppose Kekkei Genkai, he should need these."
Obito Uchiha returned to the island and entered the underground cave again. At this time, his Sharingan Tomoe connected together to form complex patterns, and his scarlet eyes exuded a different kind of charm.
Sitting on the stone seat, Madara Uchiha returned to his black-faced state. Black Zetsu completed the task and possessed him again. The old man could speak again, "My people, why are you coming back?"
Witnessing Lin being killed by Kakashi, and witnessing Kakashi being killed by Kirigakure Ninja without any resistance, Obito Uchiha was completely desperate.
The people who cared about him disappeared from the world. From this moment on, Obito Uchiha died together with the two of them, and they were destined to be forgotten by everyone.
"Madara, is the plan you mentioned to abandon the worries in the real world and live in a dreamland full of happiness?"
"In dreams, dead people can be resurrected, right?"
Obito Uchiha, who was very nervous, seemed to have suddenly changed into a different person. The special Chakra secreted by his brain made him get rid of the "Xianji" state, and he suddenly understood everything the grandpa had said before.
"The longer I live, the more I feel that reality is filled with only depression, pain and loneliness."
"Where there is light, there must be shadow. This is why I want to cut off all cause and effect in the world."
"Which is more important, the village or the people you care about? It seems you already have the answer in your mind."
Hearing Madara Uchiha's words, Obito Uchiha felt that painful memories resurfaced in his mind. He once again couldn't control his emotions and shouted angrily, "What a shame! I just want to leave this hell and create a world with Lin!"
