[Naruto] Survival Records of the Warring States Period

After parting ways with the two Uchiha, you were in a bit of a bad state.

You have an obvious stress reaction, and you can't help but think about the people who followed you in the market, worrying that you will be noticed by others at some point.

Not only that, after returning to the store, you repeatedly checked the doors and windows several times. You were also timid in a store that you were already familiar with. You would always be startled when you opened the door, worried that someone would be there after opening the door.

You have trouble falling asleep, are easily awakened after barely falling asleep, and always dream about being threatened by gangsters who broke into the store and kidnapped you. When sleeping, you lie on the quilt and don't dare to move. The slightest movement in the store will startle you to sit up and look around. Even the sound of Nyanosuke walking makes you nervous.

This directly causes you to feel depressed when you open the store during the day. At the same time, you look at the guests who come to the door, and you can't help but become suspicious, guessing whether they are here to check on you and keep an eye on them.

Some regular customers noticed something was wrong with you and asked you with concern what happened. On the one hand, you thanked them for their concern, but on the other hand, you couldn't control your thoughts and suspected that the other party wanted to find out about you.

You know something is wrong with you, but you can't control yourself from thinking in extreme directions.

You cannot convince yourself that you are in a safe state.

You keep asking yourself, you were lucky enough to meet Uchiha this time, but what about next time?

Moreover, if something really happened, you would still do it because it was not your store. This is too unfair.

Boss A Cong seems to be a very shrewd person, how can he trust you and leave the store to a kid with less than 05 goose combat power?

The situation worsened again one night.

That night, you fell into a light sleep in a daze. In the silence, the sound of Nyanosuke's paws scraping against the tatami became very obvious when he moved around. You immediately woke up from your light sleep, sat up suddenly, and looked at the sound defensively. source.

Then you realized that the source of the sound was Nyanasuke, and relaxed your breathing with a little fear, but suddenly froze when you turned your eyes.

In the dark room, the shoji door with a faint moonlight was the only light, and there were several boxes containing the store's sundries piled beside the door.

At this moment, at the junction of the light and the shadow of the box, there was a vague figure floating. The figure's face was hidden in the shadows, but "he" held a shiny dagger in his hand, and his clothes looked familiar.

——It was the person who wanted to attack you on the street that day!

The cold air of the autumn night sneaks into the room through the cracks in the doors and windows, climbing up your back and freezing you inch by inch.

Your pupils suddenly dilated for a moment, a cold sweat broke out behind you, your heartbeat was so intense that it felt like it was about to explode, and you opened your mouth to call for help——

Help!

You want to shout loudly, want to scream, but it seems that some force has strangled your throat, and you can only squeeze out some broken syllables of "ah" and "uh". The fear that climbed to the top at that moment makes you You have lost all your strength, and your hands and feet are cold and shaking involuntarily.

You stared at the figure.

——Did the person from that day escape to take revenge on you?

——Is someone trying to kill you?

——What will happen to you?

The originally smooth thinking was broken into pieces, and the brain was flooded with complicated information that could not be connected in series.

Fear, book, killer, blood, cat, help.

Ninja, not wanting to die, medicine, water, fire.

Asai, Taro, Yumi, Kaneko.

……

mom.

All other words are withdrawn, and the simplest title that is at the bottom of your mind and is common from the distant past to the present comes to your lips and occupies all your thoughts.

You sit curled up and hugging your knees, struggling to breathe through your mouth like a beached fish, and finally a few unfamiliar, hoarse, low and broken cries come out of your throat.

You are like a lost child on the street, hugging your only remaining quilt, huddled there in the most secure posture that has been engraved in the depths of your consciousness since before you were born, calling for the one who is not there Someone who might show up here.

"Mother."

——Mom, help me.

No one came to save you, you just heard a cat meowing.

The most normal meow of a cat suddenly breaks the space built by your fears and fantasies.

——Where did the cat come from?

——It’s Meowanosuke.

Only then did you remember that there was a cat in the same room with you who needed protection. But when you look at Nyonosuke in embarrassment, the white long-haired cat is sitting in the corner of the room, watching you silently with its glowing pupils, silent and calm.

you:--?

You suddenly realized something and looked towards the door again.

The door was empty, nothing.

Everything just now was your illusion.

you are sick.

……

You know your stress is getting worse and you need to seek outside help.

But in this world, you don’t know who you can turn to to help you relieve these symptoms and free yourself from them.

After thinking for a long time, you went to the only doctor you knew in the world.

Miss Keiko, who is suspected to be a ninja.

Can we rely on ninjutsu to do things that cannot be done by current medical standards?

Miss Keiko is still the only one in the medical clinic.

Without doctors with senior qualifications, the hospital is a bit deserted.

"It seems something happened to the transport team on the front line. I'm the only one in the hospital." Miss Keiko asked you to sit down, with a hint of worry on her pretty face. "Let me check for you first. Is there any discomfort you have recently?" ?"

"...I encountered some bad things before," you pursed your lips. When facing a doctor from this world who was completely out of touch with your world's medical skills, you were worried that the doctor would directly make a rough diagnosis, "I am now Something is wrong, I'm scared all the time, sleeping has become difficult, and... I saw some hallucinations the past few days, things that didn't exist."

"I want to know, is there any way to change me back to my original self?"

A trace of surprise flashed across Miss Keiko's face, and she asked you in detail about your recent situation and what you encountered that night. She also looked at your tongue and checked your pulse.

"These medicines are mainly used to calm the mind and calm the mind," Ms. Keiko comforted you by prescribing a few medicines for you. "Besides taking medicine, my suggestion is not to go to the store recently, and to cultivate yourself for a while."

“If you can, find something else to distract you from this,” she adds.

"Something else?" you asked.

"For example, carving, learning other things, before..." Keiko paused here, "Before, I knew a patient who was in a similar situation to you, and he would carve something to distract himself."

You took a deep look at Keiko. There was a problem with Keiko's identity. You didn't delve into the details of the last patient she mentioned. You simply nodded in agreement.

After taking the medicine and going out, you looked up at the somewhat desolate sky in autumn. A few dark geese flew across the blue sky that seemed to be fading, and a strange thought suddenly arose in your mind.

Powerful ninjas who are deeply involved in wars have psychological problems just like ordinary people like you.

For example, Tsunade who could not let go of the death of her younger brother, Hatake Sakumo who went to self-destruction amidst the accusations of his companions, and even later Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Obito and others...the stronger they become, the more they bear in their hearts. The more damage.

But in this respect, this magical world that can summon the dead to participate in war is so fair that it makes people sad, and it gives everyone a hurt heart.

You seriously consider Miss Keiko's suggestion.

But firstly, you can’t ask for leave since your boss is not here, and secondly, there’s still the same problem - Nyanosuke.

You haven't forgotten that half the reason why your boss signed you was because he needed someone to take care of Nyanasuke.

With this in mind, you walked to the door of the store. When you saw the familiar figure outside the store, your eyes lit up and you ran over with the medicine bag: "Boss, you are back!"

Boss A Cong, who had been out for almost two months, was stroking his chin and looking at the door of the store. After hearing the sound, he looked back at you, saw the medicine in your hand, and asked, "Are you sick?"

……

"Then you should go back and rest during this period," Boss Acong smiled and picked up Nyanosuke after he came in. While listening to you tell what happened recently, he said, and then asked, "By the way, those people in the practice ?”

When the boss came back, you felt reassured, and you followed the boss with righteous indignation and complained: "Yes, if it weren't for the help of two kind people at that time, something would have happened in the store!"

"It's okay, I'll go there then..." Boss Acong nodded. He originally wanted to say something, but was stunned when he walked to the bookshelf.

"You changed the order of the books?" Boss A Cong's tone was a little strange.

You nodded and saw that the boss's expression was wrong, so you asked cautiously: "...Isn't it possible?"

"...It's not impossible," he shook his head, his expression suddenly looked a little lonely, "It's okay, just leave it like this, it's more convenient for the guests."

you:?

The doubts in your mind flashed away, and then you reported other work results in the past few months, and then remembered something: "Ah, there is one more thing. The place where the fire broke out before was Lord Lai Shi's mansion, and now Lord Lai Shi has moved out. ”

Boss Acong nodded and glanced at you: "Have you received your wages for the past two months?"

"I got it, I got it, Kentaro took me there. Speaking of which, is the boss a subordinate of Lord Yorishi?" You couldn't help but ask.

Boss A Cong looked very relaxed. After lazily inspecting his shop, he sat down on the recliner and said, "Not anymore. You can't get away from me."

You said "Oh" and quietly rolled your eyes: What do ordinary people like you do when you climb up to the aristocracy? Can you get two more taels of wages per month or can you eat more meat?

Boss A Cong suddenly turns around to look at you. You quickly put on a smile and listen to him drive people away: "Go back and recuperate quickly. Don't scare my customers away from coming."

you:……

"Okay, boss."

You kept smiling, thought for a moment and said, "Boss, how come you haven't changed at all in the two months since you traveled to the Kingdom of Thunder?"

“I’m not dark or skinny, my physique is really enviable.”

boss:……

"If you don't leave, don't come back." He raised a fake smile.
