Sasuke turned around.
Snow looked at the mountain in the distance. "I'll go."
Boom! The Bright God Gate was lifted, and Neji sat on the ground. The injuries he suffered in the battle quickly healed. He looked at the wedge in his palm in a daze. It could be seen that he was still unwilling.
Naruto squatted down in front of Neji. "Neji, you really scared me. I haven't seen you for a few months, and you've become so strong."
Neji smiled bitterly. "Compared to you, I'm still far behind."
Naruto didn't deny it hypocritically. Instead, he said, "If you didn't grow up in the Dual Moon Space for a few years, then that might not be the case …"
He stretched out his hand. "Believe me, Neji, you will become stronger and stronger, strong enough to protect your people!"
Naruto's words made Neji feel much better.
He then thought of the hardships Naruto had suffered since he was six years old. He felt that the gap between the two was reasonable.
He gladly held Naruto's outstretched hand … and let him pull him up.
The experience of being a Castellan gave Naruto insight into the ways of the world.
Naruto knew that Neji, as a genius of Hyuga, had a proud side and a strong heart. So after defeating Neji, he didn't show any pride or complacency. Instead, he used sincerity and encouragement to resolve any grudges that might arise.
His strength and character were enough to convince everyone.
Neji looked behind Naruto at Hinata, who had a concerned expression, and apologized. "Honada-san … I'm sorry, I lost control just now and almost affected everyone."
Hinata said, "No, it's okay. Everyone is fine."
Neji said, "Also, I'm looking forward to Honada-san's future growth …"
"Neji san …" Hinata was grateful. Everyone longed to be recognized, especially a girl like Hinata who had a deep sense of inferiority.
Neji's words were equivalent to recognizing her, which encouraged Hinata. She secretly thought, 'One day, I must let Snow and Naruto … truly recognize me.'
On the other side, Snow and Sasuke sat side by side on the tree-lined path.
Snow's small hands held her cheeks and looked at Sasuke's new eyes without blinking.
"…" For some reason, Sasuke's cold cheeks flashed a trace of red, and he quickly covered it up with words: "It's all thanks to your father, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten these eyes."
"Well, and then?" Snow's eyes looked at Sasuke as if she saw through his mind.
Sasuke became even more nervous. "Then, then … I will use these eyes to protect the country your father created. Come, to repay him."
Snow's eyes looked towards the distant sky. "Do you really think this way?"
Sasuke was confused, "Why do you ask?"
"If it's just to repay a debt of gratitude, it doesn't seem like your style. It's also not what Father and I want to see …"
Snow turned to look at Sasuke: "I think father gave you this power because he wanted you to see your future path and find your own ninja path.
Snow laughed. "However, this answer is already quite good, compared to the past you …"
"…" Assistant Zuo clenched his fists in his lap and fell into deep thought.
Snow sighed, "However, the current you should be stronger than me."
Sasuke hurriedly said, "No, you can also open Rinnegan! I, I am willing to provide Indra's power to you! Help you open these eyes! "
"You misunderstood, I don't mean to be unwilling." Snow smiled and shook her head, covering her eyes. "The strength of the eyes doesn't mean the vision is broad. I don't want to deliberately pursue it, unless it's something I am destined to have … Moreover, even if I can't get those eyes, I have something that can make up for it."
Sasuke's eyes narrowed, "Something that can make up for it?"
Snow said, "Companions! They can become a part of my strength! Rather than becoming stronger myself, it's better to bring them along with me! "
"Hinata went to find my father in private and changed her body, risking her life … That made me realize one thing. In the past, I was too protective of them. Wasn't that a kind of arrogance? It made protection become a kind of restraint and shackle, and it hurt her instead. "
"So, I made a reflection … Companions aren't one-sided protection and will, but growing together, trusting each other, leaving each other's backs to protect each other!"
Snow's transcendent nature and wisdom were like a bright lamp, illuminating the darkness. If one followed at her side, they would never get lost.
Sasuke murmured, "I am also willing to become a part of your strength …"
Snow smiled, "We are companions to begin with."
"Companions …" Sasuke was disappointed. The invisible sense of distance between the two made him feel inexplicably lost.
Suddenly, an urgent impulse arose, and Sasuke clenched his fists.
Below, Shizune walked past and nodded at Snow with a smile. Behind Shizune, Sakura carried a medicine box. Seeing Snow sitting beside Sasuke on the slope, loneliness flashed in her eyes, but she still bit her lips, resisting the urge to greet Sasuke, and walked past in a low profile.
Sasuke wanted to reveal his thoughts, "Snow, actually, I have always been …"
Snow interrupted Sasuke, "Sasuke, that girl called Sakura is really working hard now. In just half a year, she has grown to become the chief medical ninja besides Shizune …"
"…" Sasuke was speechless.
Xue looked at Sasuke: "I think, she must have changed for someone …"
The wind blew and Snow stood up, "Go back, treat your people well, and don't let down Itachi and everyone's expectations."
Sasuke stood up and stared at Snow's back, "Changed for someone … Am I not the same?"
He couldn't help but think of the trip to Hell Valley many years ago, when he was in a temple in a certain village, the words of that monk who divined his fate told him.
"Only when the snow melts will you know what flowers bloom on the trees …"
Night fell, and Feather finished his first day of training. Dragging his nearly broken body, he walked back.
He sighed in his heart, "No wonder I fainted when I was building the bridge. Our ninja bodies have been deceived by Chakra for so long. If we don't use Chakra, we are nothing but mortals …"
He looked at Guy, who was still full of vitality, walking upside down, and said from the bottom of his heart, "Perhaps, the real beast is this guy."
"Wuuuuuu …"
Under the dusk, a beautiful youth in white was crying while hugging his knees. Ice condensed into fragrant grass.
On the eve of the Ninja Empire's establishment, Hozuki Mangetsu brought Haku back to Dark Hidden Village.
Feather let Kai go back first. He walked to the riverbank and sat beside Bai.
Under Feather's patient questioning, Haku spilled his grievances, "They said I looked like a girl, pointed at me, and didn't play with me …"
[So that's how it is.]
This kind of discrimination was common.
Feather felt it was unfair for Haku, but he always felt Haku … was the Creator's mistake.
So, he didn't advise Haku to be strong like the other elders, but chose another path.
He smiled, "I say … Haku, have you ever thought of becoming a real girl?"
