To the eternal you

The first ray of sunlight at sunrise passes through the top of the mountain, illuminating the dark earth and adding new green to the branches and leaves.

What is surprising is that, even though it is winter, a large number of people gather in Inazuma City, gathering towards the castle tower like a long dragon.

The wild creatures who are curious about this seem to be going there through their own methods.

Daozuma has animism in everything, but most of them are afraid of the power of Naruto and lurk.

Silently watching humans build Inazuma Castle, and gradually squeeze their own activity space with the area of ​​human activities.

Today, there are only a few races that are friendly to humans and dance with humans on this land.

Or the cunning and agile sky fox and ground fox.

Or a naughty and dull little fox.

Or, the puppet girl named Qi who just woke up now.

Unlike many fellow dolls, she has her own consciousness, or simply put, unlike other dolls that can only be placed at home, she can walk flexibly and taste delicious food.

And, waking up from the soft bed, I found myself lying naked on a strange bed, looking at the same strange ceiling.

The girl's exclamation pierced the sky above the Great Imperial Palace.

She clutched the quilt tremblingly, only showing a small head outside, looking at the layout of the room with a vigilant expression.

The layout of the room is very simple, but the furniture is all the latest style. The sunlight shines through the paper window into the room, shining mottled light along the grain.

On the cabinet in front of the bed was a freshly picked Yuntian grass. The tender purple petals were even stained with dew, as if they had been picked not long ago.

His God's Eye was also placed aside, shining a little warmly.

At this time, there were gentle footsteps outside the door, which should be the owner of the room.

She pushed open the door, looked at the girl beside the bed nervously shrinking into the corner, and showed a faint smile.

"What's the matter? Are you not sleeping well?"

Ying was still holding a kettle in her hand, and the furisode kimono still made her look like a blooming purple calyx, awe-inspiring yet feminine.

"Since you've woken up, there's no need to yell, just tidy up the bed earlier, fold the quilt, and come out fully dressed."

"Okay, okay! To trouble you... no!"

The girl who responded subconsciously and obediently stopped talking, and turned to look at her with pitiful eyes.

"The point should be why Qishui is here?! What did mom do last night? And my clothes are gone!"

"You are my child, sleeping in the Great Imperial Palace is no different from sleeping at home. As for last night... no, it is not last night. You are too tired. You slept for nearly a month. I cleaned it for you. Afterwards, I will bring you back here, and the clothes will be washed."

Shadow explained with a calm expression and tone.

"Really...really?"

The girl clutched her head and recalled in difficulty, completely ignoring the time information just now.

I just remember entering the bath together yesterday...and then I lost consciousness.

"That's right, this is one of the things I'm going to tell you, don't treat yourself too disrespectfully just because you are a puppet."

Mother Ying came in, put the kettle aside, and rubbed the girl's little head.

"Although your body is tough, you can't drive it without restraint. Take proper rest and regularly...find me to repair it, otherwise you will be in trouble if you suddenly fall outside in the future."

"So that's it, please remember, thank you mom~"

The girl let out a little sigh of relief, and rubbed her palm affectionately.

Squeezing her daughter's face, Ying quickly stood up and said, "Then, I'll wait for you outside. I have important things to do today, so don't procrastinate."

She turned around and picked up the kettle, quietly took away the girl's God Eye, walked out of the door and closed the door, leaning her back against the door and lowering her head.

Watching his hands gradually lose their luster, like a blocked God's Eye.

"Qi, you said you were willing to help me... So, you must understand me, right?"

Talking to himself, Ying patted his face lightly, and waited for a while.

Turning around and pushing open the door, his eyes froze on the girl's outstretched slender calf, which startled the girl who was wearing the foot bag.

"Do you need mommy to help you get dressed?"

"This is too... shameful, and does mother want to turn me into a useless doll who can't take care of herself?"

Pulling up the remaining part without stopping, the skin feels very comfortable when touching the soft fabric. She stood up from the bed, and when her toes touched the floor through the foot pocket, she felt a little cool, but she was somewhat relieved. .

Looking back at her mother who was staring straight at her for some reason, luckily she was not caught while wearing obscene clothes, otherwise she would be so embarrassed that she wanted to get under the bed!

"If you can keep you from leaving me, it's not impossible."

Mother Ying gave the answer after careful consideration.

"Haha~ Mom really likes to joke."

The girl casually bundled her long, smooth hair like a black juan, and hung it behind her back. If Grandma Chun saw it, she would probably be told that she didn't have the restraint of a girl at all.

"Forget it, actions will prove what I say is true."

Ying didn't make any excuses, just stretched out his hand to take her boneless little hand again, and led her out of the room, which confused the girl a bit.

Mom seems to have grown fond of physical contact with herself.

But why... so urgent?

After walking out of the bedroom area quickly, Ying led her to the main hall, and vaguely lively sounds could be heard outside.

"Mom, is there any holiday in the castle tower today?"

And... This looks very simple, but in fact it should be very precious white pongee silk kimono, full of gorgeous and dignified charm.

"It is indeed a very important festival, but the protagonist is you—"

Shadow looked at the girl at this moment, with a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth.

Even if this kind of solemn dress is a bit inconsistent with her, but with the unique temperament of a girl, it must be very brilliant in the end.

"It's time to tell everyone who you are."

"...Mom, do you approve of me?"

The girl asked in a daze, those clear eyes seemed to be stained with a little water curtain, thin.

"Sorry... for making you wait so long, but it might be a little different than what you thought."

Ying looked back at her seriously, then took a deep breath.

"Pray, whether it is a human being or a demon god, there will be a very important turning point in one's life. Only when the original intention remains unchanged, can Dao's wife be correctly led to the eternal eternity."

"Remember the promise you made with me earlier?"

The atmosphere became a little strange.

"Always remember... Mom hopes that I will always remain the same, don't change my current thoughts, don't fall in love with anyone... In the end, I will be with my mother and Dao Wife until the eternity."

The girl looked a little embarrassed.

"Then, go and open that door."

"Go and announce to the world that the new Yujianming God Master Zun Dayusuo is named Lei Dianqi, and she is ready."

The shadow pointed to the door on that side with the tattoo of a warrior helmet.

"..."

The heart began to beat faster, the girl's face became pale, and she looked at her helplessly like a young deer.

But the only thing returning to her is the pair of extremely indifferent eyes, the tough attitude, and the indisputable expression that she saw at the beginning.

The sound of the drum beating from outside the door became louder and louder, as if each beat was hitting the atrium of the heart.

"Mom, why are you doing this?"

The girl asked hard.

"Inazuma's people need to be guided... You are the best candidate among the dolls I made. Of course, don't worry about your own lack of force. Soon, the general will solve such troubles for you."

Ying held her face, causing the girl's subconsciously lowered head to be raised, and she looked at her.

She could see it, her eyes were full of panic, even the ignorance of waking up.

Even, she couldn't understand why she just slept all night, why she would suddenly become Narugami and feel panic after waking up.

"But I... can't..."

"You can do it, you are my most important and trusted child, and I believe you can accept and understand me."

Time is too short, if she hadn't seen the change in the girl's feelings, she might have handed over the Narugami position to the general, but the general is a dead thing, no matter how human he is, he doesn't have the spirituality to pray.

What's more, the current general is still a semi-finished product.

But now, in order to prevent Qi from continuing to change, she has to do this. Thanks to the budget in the original design, even if the body is not good, she can use the general to make up for her lack of force.

And supervise her not to change.

Just like how I and my sister used to match each other.

So you can't let Qi back down.

It has been a month since I brought the girl back.

During this period, she spent a lot of effort on this matter and waited for the girl to wake up.

"I--"

Qi squeezed the corner of the white clothes tightly, his face became paler.

"You are hesitating, you are hesitating, and you are... lying."

Ying no longer forced her to raise her head, but turned around and picked up the thin white cotton hat from the writing desk, her tone gradually calmed down.

Qi can feel that those purple eyes seem to be a little hollow, and the temperature around them seems to freeze as if they have dropped suddenly.

"You ever asked me why I wanted to go down this path, if I ever doubted myself."

"I told you at the time that a friend told me not to be deceived, not to be shaken, and to walk straight on the path I firmly believe in."

The empty pupils grew darker.

"Now, have you changed?"

Qi can feel that her mother seems to be a different person, and her obsession has deepened.

She was silent, then shook her head slowly and firmly.

"Come here, then, and put it on."

Ying picked up the white cotton hat in his hand, and then slowly put it on the girl's drooping head, combing her hair. Although the cotton hat was thin, it was enough to cover the whole head, but it would not hide the girl's face.

Instead, it adds a touch of sacredness.

"Don't be afraid... I will always be with you, just like your shadow, we will accompany each other to eternity."

Ying showed a morbid smile of satisfaction, and only the pure white and innocent girl was in his eyes.

When did you become so concerned about her thoughts?

Probably the day when I had a long talk with her all night, I was able to understand my thoughts and support myself sincerely.

When did you become so obsessed with her?

It was probably the day when I saw the soft and beautiful emotions begin.

"Qi, you may have many important friends, and they also regard you as a bosom friend."

"But I...you are alone, so promise me...don't get separated from me again."

Ying gently hugged the girl, and tied a purple glazed ball with a background color like a starry night and the seal of Ba in the middle around her waist.

Then he took her hand and came to the door.

"After opening the door, you will be the Naruto of Inazuma. Forget everything you did when you were Shao Nayan."

"Finally, hold your head high and proudly tell everyone who you are."

The door opened a gap.

A ray of light shone on the girl's cheek, just like the past, but it couldn't bring her any warmth.

The hustle and bustle of the outside world finally broke into the field of vision, the huge drums, the whole row of soldiers of the Tianling, and the rest of the survey and appointment and the society were lined up on the left and right sides, and the people gathered under the Tianshou Pavilion like a dark cloud.

The moment she appeared, there was a lot of voices.

PS: The release date is next Friday... It should be considered as the most procrastination, and it is required to control the number of words, so it is estimated that there will be two updates until the release date (guaranteed 4000), so let’s save some manuscripts for the release date. .
