Naruto: The hardworking model who realizes his dream is actually the white moonlight of the ninja wo

To be honest, Neji doesn't have any special feelings for Gaara now.

At least this feeling cannot last to the point in the future where I am willing to go back to the present and interfere with Gaara's fate at the cost of my own disappearance.

But Gaara obviously didn't think so.

When I went out at midnight and came back at night, the child had become a completely different person.

There was no longer innocence and loneliness in those emerald green eyes.

But it is the eyes of Shura who has experienced everything.

If you just look at his eyes, you would never guess that he is just a five-year-old boy.

He looked like someone who had gone through a lot of hardships and been through all kinds of trials.

Neji appeared in front of Gaara with doubt and hesitation.

He had a vague, indescribable, subtle premonition.

Is the Gaara in front of me the same Gaara as yesterday?

Is the world starting to collapse from a certain corner?

In the vast desert, there is a sand dune that towers into the sky, like a barrier between the earth and the sky. A thin red-haired boy stands quietly on the top of the sand dune, holding a worn-out teddy bear tightly in his arms.

The boy's hair was burning like flames, forming a sharp contrast with the monotonous yellow sand around him. His bright eyes stared into the distance, revealing a firmness and confusion beyond his age. The wind blew across the sand dunes, raising layer after layer of sand waves, but the boy stood still like a sculpture, seemingly in deep thought.

The teddy bear in his arms was already a little worn out, with its fur worn out and its color faded. However, the boy treasured it and hugged it tightly, as if it was the most precious thing in the world. Perhaps, this teddy bear carried too many memories and emotions for the boy, and was a comfort in his heart.

The red-haired boy standing on the sand dune is like a lonely guardian, facing the vast desert, with his heart full of expectations and uneasiness about the future. His figure appears particularly small and fragile under the afterglow of the setting sun, but at the same time he also exudes an indescribable tenacity.

He just stood there, his eyes scanning everything without any emotion, and finally squatted on Neji.

"Hinata...Ningji..."

This wasn't a name Gaara was supposed to know.

"What are you talking about, Gaara?"

"We've found what Nora said, come down quickly!"

Temari called from the side, showing rare tenderness that belongs to an elder sister.

She looked a little awkward, as if she didn't want her brother to know that she and Kankuro went to find Nora together.

What is this? They were the ones who first spoke up about Gaara, and they are the ones who are doing things silently now.

Is the person who killed their mother really worthy of being their brother?

But now the answer is simple.

The two are slowly letting go.

The vicious cycle is slowly coming to an end here.

His mother is already dead, and Gaara, who is unaware of it, is innocent.

So they would try to express their love for Gaara - I don't know when, Nora accidentally said:

"The only thing the living can do is not to grieve for the dead."

At that time, the two of them foolishly asked Nora:

"Did someone important leave you too?"

Nora's answer, of course, was:

"They're all gone."

Temari knew at this point that she shouldn't ask any further questions, but Kankuro next to her was a fool.

He went straight to the point: "Have you come out of your sadness?"

As expected, Nora was shaking his head.

"I can't do anything."

"For the living and for the dead."

“So I came here with a lot of regrets.”

To resolve other people’s regrets.

It's ridiculous just listening to it.

"Gaara?"

Temari seemed to notice Gaara's strangeness.

Under normal circumstances, if Kankuro and I called him, he would definitely come running over at the first moment - after all, as older brothers and sisters, they always rely on their younger brother for tolerance.

Although it is true that if you accidentally make Gaara angry your body will be torn into pieces.

Temari could never forget the tragedy of playing football that day and Yashamaru covered in blood.

"Why..."

Neji could hear Gaara's question, but he had no idea what he was asking.

If anyone wants to ask why, he should be the one asking!

000's wish is simple, he doesn't want Gaara to become like he was during the Chunin Exam.

A Shura who only loves himself.

Instead, I hope that Gaara can grow up normally and healthily.

Do what you like to do and make lots of friends...

Instead of becoming a lonely Shura.

As for why 000 appeared here, Ningji didn't know.

And now Gaara has obviously been injected with something bad.

He can be the Gaara from the very beginning timeline, or the Gaara from the 000 timeline.

Of course, it could also be Gaara from the future on this timeline.

But there is at least one thing that Neji can clearly understand.

Ruined.

You must have experienced everything that you should and shouldn’t have experienced, which is why you have this look in your eyes now!

And if Gaara's memories are here -- then what about future Gaara?

Where is Gaara, the real owner of this memory?

Most likely, they are gone...

Or maybe it's just the breakdown of time...

"002?"

Now the higher level authority holder has disappeared, but 002 still has not responded.

Suddenly, a burning sensation like a flame rose from Neji's neck, as if it would burn him up in the next second! The burning sensation was so strong that he could hardly breathe, and he couldn't even take a deep breath to try to relieve the suffocating pain.

However, before Neji could react, his eyes suddenly became dark. It was as if an invisible hand suddenly covered his eyes, causing him to lose his vision instantly. At this moment, Neji was filled with fear and helplessness - a large number of memories that belonged to him and did not belong to him flooded into his mind, along with severe pain.

A familiar but not entirely familiar feeling.

And the sharp popping sound of the child in the ear.

"Hyuuga Neji!"

Temari swore that Gaara's sand burst out three times faster than usual that day.

If she hadn't been drooling, she would have definitely thought that her brother was about to transform into a tailed beast.

Just one person fell down and my brother reacted so strongly.

It's terrible.

But Temari didn't realize that the way she addressed Gaara had changed from monster to younger brother.

The first step is always the hardest one.

The sand was like a big hand, gently lifting up the boy who had fallen to the ground - How strange, did Gaara have so much chakra before?

After all, they are all Jinchūriki, so it’s not strange at all that they can be omnipotent!

...

Memory is both flowing water and huge waves.

By the time the pain completely disappeared and Neji regained consciousness, he had no idea how many days had passed.

Turning sideways, there was only a red panda with tear marks on its face.

A Jinchūriki cannot die without sleep.

But it doesn’t mean not sleeping is good.

Although Gaara has never had much sleep since he was a child, maybe a good night's sleep will make his emotions more stable.

"Fool."

This was the first sentence Neji spoke.

There was no one else in the room.

There was only Neji and Gaara.

If any other person came along, they would all break out in a cold sweat for Neji.

Who dares to say that Gaara is an idiot! Children are emotionally unstable, who knows if he can still breathe normally after saying this today.

It's a sad world, mixed with sad consequences.

But fortunately, the person who spoke was Hyuga Neji.

He couldn't tell whether 000 was his past self or his future self.

If I have to say, it is the me who made different decisions in the past.

Being a little harder means you haven't met your 000 self.

But now he has inherited 000's memory.

The problem points to one thing - the soul plus memory make up a complete person.

So, if Ningji, who doesn't have 000's memory, inherits 000's memory, what's left?

It's just Hyuga Neji.

If 000 does not show up, he, as a member of the Hyuga clan of Konoha, will be escorted back to Konoha.

After half a month, return to the original timeline.

Just like what Neji had planned before, to rescue Rin.

But 000 didn't save Lin.

He chose to return to the present time.

Is it for Gaara?

Maybe not entirely.

When he was escorted back to Konoha, he was not recognized.

Instead, he was treated as the illegitimate child of a certain family.

The handling method is also very casual.

Lock people up and don't give them food.

Poke out the eyes and destroy the whites of the eyes.

At this time, Gaara appeared.

Most of the shadows in Neji's life were caused by the Hyuga family.

Just living in a place related to Hyuga makes me feel that the days are long.

Kotori, who had completed his mission for the Hyuga, didn't understand why he was still imprisoned here - he had become stronger, but not strong enough to be an enemy of all of Konoha.

He can restart, but this half month cannot solve the problem by restarting.

He tried to leave, tried to find a solution.

But I don't know if Hinata left too strong an impression on me.

Without exception, these have failed.

It was Gaara who appeared first.

The coward was unusually brave for once - perhaps he had always been brave, but he just never found the opportunity.

At night, inside the iron fence, the moonlight sprinkled like silver yarn. It passed through the gaps in the fence and projected onto the cold ground, forming patches of mottled light and shadow. The moonlight was like water, cool and peaceful, as if it brought a touch of mystery to this closed space.

In this quiet moment, the moonlight is like a silent visitor, quietly entering this world surrounded by iron fences. It illuminates the surrounding scenery, allowing people to see the details inside the fence. The outlines of the iron dragons appear clearer under the moonlight, as if they are also silently telling their own stories.

This is the beginning of a story and also the end of a story.

Looking up, the bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the light it casts is like a layer of gauze, soft and peaceful. Through the iron fence, you can see the bright star, and its existence makes people feel an endless tranquility and remoteness. Under the moonlight, everything becomes exceptionally quiet, with only a breeze blowing gently, bringing a hint of coolness.

The choice will be made at this moment.

The moonlight in the iron fence, although confined in this small space, still emits its own light. It makes people feel the tranquility and beauty of the night, and also makes people full of reverie and longing for the outside world.

And in the moonlight, there is a boy holding a teddy bear.

"Would you like to be my friend?"

"it is good."
