Treatment for Functional Death, Strange Voice

Kanami stroked Hinata's hair. "Didn't I stop just now?"

"Don't worry about me. Although my Chakra Flame is about to go out, I feel like it will still be nearly half a year before it completely fades."

Yet just as he said that, a voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

"She was right. You were never supposed to stop. Why did you stop?"

The appearance of that voice was extremely strange.

Kanami froze for a moment and looked around, but he could not find where the voice was coming from.

Or rather, the voice seemed to be coming from every direction.

No matter which way he turned, the source of the voice seemed to be in that direction.

He could not determine where it had come from at all.

Seeing this, Hinata looked at Kanami in confusion. "What's wrong? Why are you looking around?"

She was deeply puzzled.

Why had he suddenly started looking around?

"Did you hear a voice?"

Kanami asked.

Hearing that, Hinata tilted her head slightly. "A voice? What voice? There isn't anyone else around besides the two of us. I already checked the area with my Byakugan."

"But I really did hear a voice just now. Someone asked me why I stopped."

"Did you mishear what I said? I said, why haven't you stopped yet?"

Kanami frowned, thought for a long while, then shook his head. "Maybe I'm too tired. Let's head back after we finish looking at the sea."

"Mm... all right. But you have to listen to me about your bodily functions. Stay home properly, and I'll find a way to use modern technology to heal your body."

"It'll be difficult..."

"So what if it's difficult? I'll do it even if it is! It's my turn to work hard! For you!"
