Salvation equals death

Chiyo, or Haruno Sakura, was the one who wanted to leave.

Looking at the respectful maiden of the kingdom of ghosts beside her, Chiyo softened her expression slightly, and said softly with her unhealed voice: "Are you the maiden of the kingdom of eternal life?"

The middle-aged woman in the red and white maiden costume bowed respectfully after hearing the words: "Yes, my lord, I am the 'Aster' priestess of this generation, 'Aster' in the kingdom of ghosts is a code name, every generation of priestesses will be called this name."

Aster, the name comes from a small purple flower aster. The flower language of aster is "don't forget me", so it is often associated with dead souls, psychics, witches, memories, etc. It is a name with spiritual power.

And the maidens of Ziyuan in this world are similar to the maidens of Zero in the previous world. They are charged with the important task of resealing the evil monsters into the underworld, so they have the ability of sealing and predicting death.

In the previous world, Chiyo incarnated the law and became a bridge of lament linking the life and death of the two worlds, drifting in the gap between life and death, full of the breath of the underworld, thus attracting the witches of the ghost country.

For the maiden in the land of ghosts, the girl standing in front of her hides the soul of a god under her immature skin. The law of "life" and "death" is wrapped around her body, and the power of vows belonging to all people around her is so powerful. scary.

The gods are difficult to distinguish between joy and anger, but most of them are self-willed and arrogant existences. The witch didn't dare to have second thoughts, so she could only ask cautiously: "I don't know why you came to the mortal world? Ziyuan is also willing to do my best for the adults." .”

Chiyo lowered her eyes when she heard the words, as if she was thinking about something. Seeing her like this, the witch couldn't help being a little terrified, and waited anxiously for a long while, but saw the child-like god smiled and said: "Ziyuan, if you tell the people ten years later The world is about to end, how many people will believe it?"

The witch was taken aback for a moment, and then her face changed in shock, her eyes filled with horror: "My lord, are you serious?"

"Naturally." Chiyo said truthfully, with a serious expression, "I came here to save this ending. If you are willing to help me, can you spread the news?"

"My lord, I am very willing, but..." the witch said with some embarrassment, "The kingdom of ghosts is the foundation of the gods, so the status of witches is high, but the kingdom of ghosts is actually just a remote and small country, and there is not much right to speak."

The miko was a bit embarrassed to say it, but Chiyo was not surprised. Naturally, a task that can be rated as "high risk" cannot be progressed so easily, so she just nodded: "I understand."

"Would you like to travel around the world with me and see the world?" Chiyo extended the invitation with a smile. After all, it is inconvenient for her to walk in the world as a child. "I want to see what is wrong with this world."

"It's Shion's honor." The shrine maiden performed a Shinto ceremony, and then sent a letter back to the kingdom of ghosts, entrusting the name "Aster" to the next shrine maiden.

【...Vera, I think there might be something wrong with you. ] The system looked at the girl with a faint smile on her lips, and said in a murmur, 【Do you feel uncomfortable?I want revenge - society or something...]

"Not at all." Chiyo restrained her smile, and finally had a pure and innocent look that made the system feel familiar, "Why do you ask that, System?"

【Uh... I know I didn't tell you about the biochip implanted in your brain in the last life, so you are a little angry. 】The system is trembling and authentic,【But let me declare in advance, this time it was really not me who caused the trouble, it was an accident caused by the landing failure. When generating your quantum data, there was a little problem with my loading. There was a query error when searching for "Haruno Sakura", so...]

[You may have a little, harmless... small problem. 】

Three days later, Chiyo touched the soft fox ears on his head, and pulled the system out of the small dark room: "Whose data are you loading?"

[Sorry I was wrong, I was really wrong! 】The system is crying in a storm, 【I originally wanted to search the data of Haruno Sakura, the "battlefield doctor" who opened children's psychological clinics in various countries in this world, but an accidental loading error became the legendary "God Killer" in another world. Miko "Han Feiying!You are unwilling to die, and the generated data cannot be modified, so you may be affected by the other party's beliefs! 】

"God-killing witch" Han Feiying - the legendary witch who killed and devoured the evil fox Honglian and guarded a country for a long time.

If the Haruno cherry blossoms that grew up in the greenhouse and became gentler through hardships are the bright pink cherry blossoms that bloom in early spring and March, then the Hanfei cherry blossoms are the bloody cherry blossoms that bloom in the cold season of early spring when the winter is not gone. cherry.

This shrine maiden, famous for her sword skills and Kagura dance, upholds the belief that "no offense will be committed, and all offenders will be killed". Her greatest achievement was to kill the evil fox Honglian from hell, and she was named "God Killing Witch".But she didn't know why she chose to devour Fox Honglian after killing it, and became a half-human, half-god monster ever since.

Even though she was a witch, she acted quite wickedly, but if it wasn't for this, she wouldn't dare to risk the dissatisfaction of the world by committing a god-killing act.

[Actually, there is nothing surprising, because Han Feiying and Hu Honglian were originally twin sisters, and they were victims of a ceremony similar to the "Red Sacrifice". 】

[At that time, people regarded twins as powerful but incomplete gods. The first born was a "sister", and the second was a "sister". Only when one of the twins dies can they become a complete soul. 】

[The Hongzhi Sacrifice is a ceremony in which the "sister" kills the "sister" to complete the soul. Han Feiying is so powerful that she is inseparable from this ceremony. 】

Because the closer you are to "death", the more you can understand "death", and twins are half of each other's life. When one party dies, the other party will naturally understand the true meaning of "death".

[I don't know if Hu Honglian has any resentment towards Han Feiying, but it is true that Han Feiying finally absorbed Fox Honglian. Fox ears. 】

Chiyo tugged at her pink and tender fox ears, and looked at the little doll with cherry hair and green eyes in the mirror who was still drooping with long ears in despondency, and suddenly felt that the road to "improving fame" that she had originally set was a long way to go.

After all, the fox ear is not majestic, no matter how you look at it, it looks like it's cute.

【Oh, by the way, by the way, your summoned beast is the real body of Fox Honglian, a nine-tailed sky fox. After thinking about it, the contract cannot be signed. 】

Chiyo grabbed her long ears with both hands, and asked blankly: "I don't think there's something wrong...?"

[Actually, I also feel that something is not right. 】The system is also at a loss, and the heart is big and authentic, 【But forget it, it's not a big deal anyway. 】

The system, which is full of data loading errors, has forgotten that there are "tailed beasts" in this world, and there is also a "nine tails" in Konoha Village.

[In short, if you travel to various countries, start from the Land of Fire, and the next stop is the Land of Wind, which is adjacent to the Land of Fire. 】

……

If you could start your life all over again, what would you do?

For Uzumaki Naruto, if life can be restarted, he has many regrets that he once wanted to redeem but could not; for Uchiha Sasuke, if life can be restarted, he who has been blinded all the time must have some regrets that he wants to see. Clear things, including family and friendship, including right and wrong, he doesn't want to be a knife wielding wantonly in the hands of others again.

However, neither Uzumaki Naruto nor Uchiha Sasuke ever thought that the reborn life would be blown into a storm by the wings of a butterfly before it could be changed.

For Naruto and Sasuke, the seventh class is an existence that no one can replace. Even Sasuke Uchiha, who once clamored to cut off the fetters, will always have a soft place in his heart.

In this war-torn era, they experienced many people and many things together. Those memories formed a bond and belonged to their past.

But now, the seventh class is missing a corner, only they who know everything are still at a loss with the memories of the previous life, but that person has left this place that should be full of memories without hesitation.

"How could this happen?" Naruto couldn't figure it out, "Why did Sakura..."

After the fourth Ninja World War, Naruto is no longer the little boy who was bluffing and eager to attract everyone's attention with pranks. He believes in fetters, courage, and that he will always be himself, and always believes in himself. The bond with the one you love will never be broken.

But... What if this bond never took root from the very beginning?

"The three bullies are all repeat offenders. This is not the first time they have done this kind of thing." Uchiha Sasuke said with indifferent eyes, "The place where the incident happened is near the training ground I often go to."

Naruto was confused for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, he instantly understood the meaning of his best friend - if there was no "rebirth", the "Uchiha Sasuke" on the day of the incident would probably go to the training ground. When bullying the weak, Sasuke, who still had a sense of justice in his heart at the time, would definitely not stand idly by, and their rebirth may have destroyed Sakura's original destiny by chance.

For Sasuke Uchiha, he must have helped others in his childhood, but his memory of who he saved has long been blurred.

Fate just took a small turn, but the road in the general direction has shifted too far.

"I have more important things to do, and I don't have time to play house with you." Sasuke stood up with a cold face, turned and walked towards the door. The day of Uchiha's genocide is two years later, and he is not in the mood to take care of it. other.

"Sasuke!"

Naruto stopped him loudly, and before he could turn around, he crackled and said:

"For you, is that really just a play?"

—Is the sun and moon shining so brightly that one cannot see the twilight behind them?

Is the figure that has been chasing them really as insignificant as playing house?

The boy who was holding the door didn't look back. After a long silence, he lowered his head slightly, closed his eyes that were so dark and deep that they couldn't see the end, and said coldly:

"It's so annoying—"

"You guys are really annoying."
