Temari, Terumi Mei...
Kushina, Tsunade, Konan...
Hinata, Hanabi, Kaguya Otsutsuki...
"Big... Sis..."
Wuye staggered to his feet, then finally dropped to his knees beside Kaguya.
"They're... all dead..."
He blankly raised his face.
The world was dim, lit by the eerie glow of a blood moon.
"Whoosh... whoosh..."
A violent gale suddenly swept in, carrying countless snowflakes with it.
The apocalyptic clash had completely warped the mountains and terrain. Storms raged across the entire planet, and all manner of disastrous weather ran rampant.
Icy snowballs and biting winds lashed Wuye's face, but he did not move.
"Wuye..."
Uchiha Mikoto took an umbrella from her storage scroll, opened it, and held it over him.
But Wuye pushed her hand away.
For the first time, Mikoto realized that his once-warm palm could one day become so cold.
Wuye stumbled forward.
The closest was Temari.
She lay right before him. The person who had always opposed him, yet had given him everything, now lay there without a trace of life.
Her words had always been harsh, but her heart had always been soft.
Tears slipped from the corners of Wuye's eyes as the pupil power of his left Mangekyo Sharingan flowed out.
He gently wiped away the grime covering her body, then stored her in the "True Life" space, nourishing her with natural life force.
Next was Terumi Mei.
This woman he had bullied for so many years had been forced to handle so many trivial Hokage affairs in Konoha. Even after returning to the Land of Water, she had never done anything against Konoha.
Wuye knew that beneath her mature, beautiful appearance lay a tender and delicate heart.
Everything had originally been planned. Once the Fourth Shinobi World War unified the world, Temari and Terumi Mei would no longer have any reason
