far away

Kawaki breathed a sigh of relief.

【That was a close call.】

As soon as I raised my head, I saw a black stick in front of me.

The shadow of Cixian seemed to appear on the black stick again.

Kawaki's pupils trembled and he turned his face away in fear.

【hateful. 】

[Damn it! Damn it! ]

He slowly stood up and walked behind the rock.

midair

Isshiki narrowed his eyes.

[Tsk, when will this end? ]

Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't help but wipe it with his hand.

Glancing at the blood on his fingers, Isshiki turned his gaze towards Naruto lying on the ground.

【Okay, Kawaki. 】

[Since you are unwilling to cooperate, don't blame me for being rude. ]

As he spoke, his figure dropped rapidly.

With a loud "bang", Isshiki stepped on Naruto with both feet, the ground collapsed, and Naruto's eyes turned white from being stepped on.

far away

Kawaki's prosthetic limb fell to the ground.

Isshiki's shout came from a distance.

[Did you hear me? Kawaki. ]

[You have twenty seconds to appear in front of me, otherwise, I will make him die from his intestines and stomach rupture! ]

[You can run away if you want! As long as you can just watch the Hokage you respect die! ]

……

Ninja World

"Hiss. This kick... In Naruto's current state, can he still withstand it?"

"This is an open conspiracy! Kawaki must make a choice!"

"Kawaki vs. Isshiki... No, it should be said that Jigen has a lot of trauma in his heart, and I don't know what he went through in the past."

"Isshiki's appearance is getting more and more ferocious. It turns out that when facing death, he is no different from a ninja, and is even far inferior to some ninjas."

"Time is almost up, it's up to Kawaki next."

【Countdown begins! 】

Kawaki picked up his prosthesis, leaned against the rock wall and closed his eyes.

【20, 19, 18...】

The countdown reminded Kawaki of the past. He gasped violently, and his opened eyes were full of fear.

in memory

[It's like this again.]

[Hiding is useless. How many times do I have to say this before you understand? ]

【Come out within ten seconds. 】

【otherwise……】

【10, 9...】

As he spoke, Cixian used a black stick to move the fish tank on the table little by little towards the edge of the table.

【3, 2...】

【1. 】

The little boy hiding in the corner of the room widened his eyes in fear.

【Wait! 】

He said in a crying voice: [Wait a moment.]

Cixian looked down at him.

[Of course I will wait for you, because we are father and son. ]

in reality

A roar: [17! ]

Kawaki's breathing became heavier each time.

in memory

The little boy hid in the corner with his arms around his shoulders.

Cixian's voice reached my ears.

【5、4、3、2、1、0……】

The fish tank fell to the ground, making a shattering sound.

Cixian walked towards the little boy step by step.

[How pitiful! If you didn't want it to be like this, why would it be like this? ]

[Don't you understand? You have nothing, just an empty shell, so I don't mind reminding you over and over again. ]

The little boy turned his head slowly and saw Cixian who had walked up to him, his whole body trembling with fear.

Cixian raised the black stick in his hand.

[Okay, it's time for punishment, Kawaki. ]

in reality

Kawaki was breathing heavily.

【16! 】

in memory

The running little boy was knocked to the ground by a punch.

【You have nothing.】

As he spoke, Cixian brought down a stick.

After falling to the ground, the little boy supported himself on the ground with his hands and vomited a mouthful of sour water.

【It's just an empty shell.】

in reality

Isshiki stepped on Naruto's chest, seemingly venting his anger.

【15! 】

in memory

Cixian's voice rang out.

【A broken container is destined to be unfilled. 】

【It will all leak out eventually.】

in reality

The shadow of Jigen seemed to appear in front of Kawaki.

【14! 13! 12! 】

Naruto gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain, and looked forward to it in his heart.

“That’s good, Kawaki…”

"Just stay hidden and don't come out."

【11! 10! 】

Yishiki's expression became more and more ferocious.

Kawaki's breathing became more rapid.

He gently placed his prosthesis on the ground and closed his eyes tightly.

"The seventh generation..."

At this moment, Naruto's shadow seemed to appear in front of him.

Naruto pressed the back of Kawaki's head against his chest.

"Don't worry, Kawaki."

'You are safe.'

Kawaki's eyes widened for a moment.

Memories of him and Naruto couldn't help but come to mind.

in memory

【Chakra is a connecting force.】

Kawaki moved his prosthetic limbs and asked Naruto: [Do I really have that thing in my body? ]

[Of course, you have it in your body too. ]

[Seeing you is like seeing my old self. I can't ignore you. ]

After a moment of silence, Kawaki asked: [Can you teach me how to practice ninjutsu? ]

[It is possible, but the practice is very painful. ]

Memories here

Kawaki seemed to have made some kind of decision, and reached out to pick up the prosthetic limb that he had placed on the ground earlier.

……

Ninja World

"I can see that Kawaki is planning to face Isshiki for Naruto."

"It was Kawaki's past experiences that made him care so much about Naruto who brought him warmth. It was just that this emotion was too extreme, making Naruto more miserable than death."

"That bastard Isshiki! He actually used such despicable means!"

"Damn it, it's just a moment away!"

"If Isshiki takes away Kawaki's body, Naruto and Sasuke will still not be able to survive..."

"I support Kawaki this time, even if the Ninja World will be destroyed because of this! This is what the Ninja World owes Naruto! Without Naruto, the Ninja World would have been destroyed long ago."

"Go! The prerequisite for conquering fear is to face it."

"Since Kawaki had such deep feelings for Naruto, what was Kawaki's reaction when Naruto died?"

on screen

【3! 2! 】

Behind me, footsteps were heard.

Isshiki raised the corner of his mouth, turned around and looked at Kawaki who was standing on the rock holding his prosthetic limb.

【1. 】

Kawaki looked at Naruto who was stepped on by Isshiki, and the words Naruto once said to him emerged in his mind again.

'From today on, you are my apprentice.'

Isshiki leaped and rushed towards Kawaki.

Kawaki jumped back, formed seals with his hands, and spit a fireball at Isshiki.

Isshiki used his body to break up the fireball, came in front of Kawaki, and stretched out his arms to hug Kawaki's body.

Isshiki asked softly: [What do you mean? Do you really think you are a ninja?]

Perhaps because he was repulsed by Isshiki's embrace, Kawaki frowned: [I worshipped the seventh generation as my master. He said that I am very talented.]

[You can't become a ninja, you are destined to achieve nothing, the only meaning of your existence is to be my container, and then disappear. ]

When mentioning Naruto, Kawaki's voice became much lighter: [He also taught me a lot of other things. He gave me, an empty shell, the meaning of life. ]

Yishi said to him: [But what is the result? Without the right hand he gave you, you would not have been discovered by me. Without the emotions he taught you, you would not have been caught by me. This is the reality.]
