“…… I also feel good to have you. ”

I'm telling the truth, when I first crossed over, I was an orphan, and the surrounding environment was different from what I had been exposed to before, and when I found out that I had a golden finger, I used it like crazy for a while—maybe I also wanted to escape from the reality I saw in front of me—to explore everywhere, trying to find the boundaries or flaws that might exist in this world.

Of course, a lot of things happened in the midst of this, but in the end, I didn't find the answer I was looking for, and found that if I took the identity of "Masumi" too casually, the world would be real and cruel and wouldn't give me food.

So, I had no choice but to take my time and live the life I am doing well – try to improve my grades, pass my graduation exams, become a shinobi, and then have peers and teachers, perform tasks, earn pay, and support myself.

Gradually, I couldn't tell whether this was the real parallel world of the Hokage or the illusory world of the Infinite Moon Reading World, but I had unconsciously managed and maintained my life as if it were the real world.

But even so, I've always been on the outside.

Before, I didn't care about what other people were doing, I just wanted to feed myself, protect myself, and let myself survive and live a better life.

Therefore, I have a normal relationship with the other two people in the three-person team. When we were on a mission together before, we were able to talk, but after being admitted to the middle ninja and separated, there is no contact now.

On the one hand, I closed myself off, I felt that I was not in the same world as the others, and I felt lonely on the other.

It was because of the teacher that I slowly stepped out of my own world.

He valued me very much and cared for me, and when he asked me if I wanted to be his disciple, I felt the meaning of my existence in this world for the first time.

- Someone affirmed me.

In fact, the golden finger I possess gives me almost invincible combat power, but as Masumi, I am indeed just a person with average talent and qualifications.

Even if you work hard, you can only grab the tail of the geniuses with difficulty.

Such a huge gap used to make me feel painful, and sometimes, when I practiced sealing and never went well, or I couldn't reach the fastest speed I wanted to achieve, the frustration in my heart almost made me feel that I didn't need to exist at all.

I'm very ordinary.,And I don't have any eye-catching specialties.,If it's in the comics.,It's probably just a passerby and a trick with no characteristics.。

I don't think anyone cares about such an ordinary existence, so I don't intersect with anyone and don't care about anyone.

But the teacher broke down the barriers between me and the world.

"Your ninja is very good." He smiled and said to me, "I think your way of fighting is very individual, how about it, do you want to become my disciple?" ”

He affirmed my existence.

It makes me feel that I have a place in this world. And let me know that in this world, it turns out that I have someone who cares.

Because of this, I have always had a lot of respect for him.

He sowed a seed in my barren heart, and now it can blossom with gratitude to the world, not resentment.

I completely accepted the identity of "Makomi", and for a long time after that, I never touched my golden finger again. I fight, grow, experience, fight for the people I value, and feel everything with the power of Mazumi.

Until it touches Mizuki......

Thinking about it this way, Mizuki, the little boss, is really amazing.

In the original book, Naruto obtained the iconic ninjutsu of the future alongside Spiral Pill - multiple shadow clones, and let me reactivate the golden finger that I hadn't touched for many years.

Awesome!

……

I arrived at the cemetery with Tian Tian and went to the place where the teacher was.

We bent down to put the white chrysanthemum in front of the tombstone, borrowed a bucket of water from the caretaker every day, squatted down, scooped up the water with a wooden spoon, and poured it on the tombstone, which means cleansing and purification.

I couldn't help but sigh, "Time flies so fast. It's another year. ”

"Yes...... "I squatted on the ground every day, looking at the names on the tombstones, "sometimes I think about it, and I still don't feel the reality at all......"

"...... every day"

"Didn't I always feel that my father hadn't left?"

"Hmm."

"But lately, when I've been alone at home, I've occasionally wondered if my dad never existed?"

"Silly?" Hearing this, I couldn't help but pat her on the head: "How were you born without your father?" ”

"But...... I just think...... I just think...... Death is really terrifying. Tian Tian looked at the tombstone blankly, and said in a low voice: "A few years have passed, and there is no trace of his existence in the family." He has lived for so long, so many years, and done so many things, but in the end, the only ones who remember him are me and you. In the future, if I die......"

"Phew!" I subconsciously furrowed my eyebrows, "What nonsense!" ”

Tian Tian was silent for a moment, and then said, "...... I want to die before Brother Masumi. ”

"Every day?"

"It's selfish, but I want to die before Brother Matsumi. That way, I won't have to suffer. ”

Maybe it's because today is the closest day to the death of a loved one, so it's particularly sentimental.

Looking at Tiantian, I was silent for a moment and sighed softly: "...... You're not old enough to think about it. ”

Tian Tian looked up at me with a sad expression: "How old are you to consider this?" ”

"Wait until you're twenty-four or five."

"Why?"

Because it was when I was twenty-four or five years old in my previous life, I suddenly realized that death was slowly approaching.

In those years, the white affairs of the elders suddenly happened closely.

First my grandmother's mother, then my grandfather, was sick for a long time, lost her voice, lost her ability to walk, lingered in the bed for several years, and finally left.

After he left, his grandmother's body collapsed all at once.

Then there is my father's sister, my aunt's husband, my aunt's husband......

When I attended their funerals, I remembered the time I spent with them when I was young, and I suddenly realized that time passed so quickly, and I felt what it means to change times.

For a while, it made people feel that human beings grew up in the death of their predecessors.

Then I wonder if it will be my parents' turn in a few years when the elders of my parents will die......

When parents lose their parents, watching them cry and thinking that in the future, they will also leave me like their own parents, just thinking about it makes me feel so painful that I can't breathe.

That's something that teenagers never think about. For death is still too far away for them, just as the earth will one day perish, but it will be many, many years from now, and it is not worth caring about.

"Because—you said you want to die before me, you have to let me live longer." I didn't want the atmosphere to be depressed, so I joked, "How about I try to live to be 100 years old, and then when I'm the last minute away from 100 years old, you go first, and I'll walk with you in a minute, so what?" ”

"Brother Zhencheng is also afraid of pain?"

"Who is not afraid? I don't want to live alone. ”

"Then let's die together." Saying this, he took my hand and stood up.

The pair of clear and bright apricot eyes looked at me seriously and said, "Brother Zhencheng, let's live together for a long, long time, and then die together, so that no one will be miserable and lonely." ”

This sounds, although it still sounds a little strange, but it finally reveals some of the innocence and naivety unique to children of this age.

I couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay." ”
