"Ok?"

You're lying.

A voice suddenly rang out from the depths of Yoriichi's heart.

Is power and authority truly what you originally desired?

Yoriichi was stunned by the question, and for some reason, he suddenly thought of his younger sister who was bullied to death.

Under the dim yellow light, the self who killed the bully was hit by a truck and was born into a new world.

Here, strength is revered, just like Yoriichi's later philosophy. Even if you're made of iron, you must become stronger. Is it for the sake of specific power?

Or... to protect his family?

Yoriichi suddenly felt a splitting headache, and his tears seemed to spring back to life like a dried-up well, completely opening up his tear ducts after all these years.

Since coming to the Naruto world, he has never shed a tear, no matter what pain he has endured or how close his subordinates have sacrificed themselves.

But that heart-wrenching feeling constantly stirred up the strong layer within him.

No one can stay strong forever, especially at times like these.

Yoriichi opened his eyes, and a strong gust of wind swept through his entire body.

"Kenshin!" Deidara and Kurotsuchi stood beside Yoriichi, and all eyes were on him, yet Yoriichi felt a sense of emptiness.

Yoriichi's eyes were indifferent as he poured all his energy into his hand, instantly igniting the Kusanagi sword.

"Deidara".

"I am here..."

Yoriichi swayed slightly and handed a pill to Deidara.

"If I die, feed it to me, and perhaps reincarnation can save me."

"it is good..."

“Kenshin…” Shuiyue’s eyes gradually became misty. Was it really necessary to care about something like this?

The voices around me were continuous, some were persuasive, some were worried, and some were sad.

Yoriichi simply blocked out his sense of hearing, leaving only the black currents that were engulfing him before his eyes. The surroundings were dark and the road was wide. Yoriichi stood with his sword in hand and flew into it.

He had made his decision, even if it meant sacrificing his own helplessness and the lives of countless families...

Even though it has nothing to do with me...

"Congratulations! Your strongest gacha system has reached level five!"

"At that time...you will become..."

"Crack..." The sound seemed to be interrupted as a beam of intense light fell in front of Yoriichi, cutting off the sound and drawing him into the depths of the light.

Yoriichi felt as if he had entered a new area.

“Where is this…” Yoriichi looked around as the bright light gradually faded, revealing a place that seemed somewhat familiar to him.

This is a private high school. The classrooms are empty, and the setting sun hangs in the sky; it seems to be time for school to end.

Yoriichi glanced down at his right hand; the Kusanagi sword had vanished, and he could no longer sense any chakra within his body.

"Let me go!" A sharp voice instantly snapped Yoriichi to his senses, and his eyes widened.

This is...

It was the voice of my sister, who had already died!

"Yuu!" Ignoring the current situation, Yoriichi suddenly started frantically searching for the source of the sound!

Following the sound, Yoriichi rushed to a corner of the teaching building, where several couples were surrounding a long-haired girl who was crying bitterly.

"Strip him naked!"

"What are you doing?!" Yoriichi's voice came from afar, penetrating the entire corridor.

The group was startled by the shout and turned around, then revealed disdainful expressions.

Xiao You raised his head, and through his teary eyes, he saw the familiar, towering figure of his older brother, whom he regarded as a role model.

"I thought it was someone else, but it's just that useless guy from before..."

"Crack!"

Yoriichi gradually approached and threw a punch, breaking one of the ribs of the burly man who had been speaking.

"Damn it!" The man was sent flying, tumbling down the stairwell, spitting out blood, and then fainted.

Everyone froze in place.

Ten minutes later, Yoriichi took off his blood-soaked trench coat and hugged his sister tightly in his arms.

"Your brother didn't lie to you... did he?"

"Mmm..." With a sob tinged with grievance and heartache, two tears streamed down their cheeks.

"We go home."

Yoriichi supported his younger sister as they walked side by side down the familiar street. The setting sun bathed everything in gold, and at that moment, the ninja world, chakra, and the Otsutsuki god seemed incredibly distant.

Golden light shone on their smiling faces; it was a light of salvation.

Yoriichi silently gazed at a corner of the sky.

Those of them in the ninja world should now be out of danger and embrace a new life.

However, given that his own body had been shattered into pieces by the black wind, he was no longer able to take the pill for resurrection.

"But this ending... seems... not so bad?"

When the gacha system reaches level five, the Light of Redemption will appear.

Where the light shines, the caster's wish will be granted.

Thus, in the present world, Yoriichi's heart achieved a certain reconciliation.

Meanwhile, in the ninja world of another dimension, he will also be reborn.

The ninja prodigies who survived that disaster will take on their responsibilities and realize the ideals that everyone, including Yoriichi, hoped for.

May the ninja world be at peace and the world be for all.

Author's Closing Remarks

After five months, I completed my first signed book and earned my first pot of gold from writing. I earned 4500 yuan for three months of full attendance after the book was published.

Despite only getting one average order, I still persisted in writing it because it was my first book and I didn't want to just cut it off.

It was already quite an achievement to be able to sign a contract for this book. I am grateful to editor Zhe Yu for giving me the opportunity to write my first book.

During the writing of this book, I also tried writing other books, but after showing them to fellow writers, they all gave me the same negative reviews, saying that I was still like a newbie.

They were right, because the book was indeed rejected after it was submitted.

This shows that my writing skills are still very poor. Some group members suggested that I read more books, and I plan to read more books recently and write some beginnings while I'm at it.

I'm quite different from many of my author friends. They read a lot of novels and write them on a whim, while I read very few books and am too lazy to even review them.

So I think I should fill this gap first.

As for the new book, since Qidian recently held a science fiction writing contest, I plan to submit it first. The initial plan is to write a post-apocalyptic novel, because I don't know much about mecha battles and such, and I have no interest in pure science fiction, I've never even read it.

I've read a few post-apocalyptic novels and have some interest in them.

I hope it passes!

I'm currently a junior in college and I really hope to make a living writing online novels in the future.

Actually, no one read this book anymore towards the end, but I still wrote it with the mindset of growth. The writing is indeed not very good, but the typing speed is much faster than before, which is something I am quite pleased about.

I'm still pretty useless, always trying to comfort myself with these things...

The new book will probably be released in October, if I can still get a copy signed.

Now let's talk about the ending of this book.

The ending of this book is the final ending I set out last month. At the time, it was just an idea that floated through my mind, but after thinking about it carefully, I felt that it was a good idea.

If Yoriichi Uchiha had stayed in the Naruto world as the ruler of the world, it wouldn't have been bad, but the subsequent plot would have just been a series of humiliations of the Otsutsuki clan.

It's not that I can't write it, but there's one problem... If I were to write that part out, the book would probably be incredibly long. I deliberately sped up the pace so that I could finish the whole thing.

So the final battle was written in a very rushed manner, but fortunately I am still quite satisfied with the ending.

In the end, everyone's wishes were fulfilled, so this can be considered a good ending.

If we simply highlight the protagonist's sacrifice, I personally feel that it's rather cliché.

I might write a side story for the book; I can do so during the waiting period before submitting it to my new book.

Of course, it's also possible not to write it.

Let's read the book first! I want to learn from the books of other great authors, I want to stand on the shoulders of giants, and I also want to make money. So if any readers have made it this far, I am truly grateful for your continued support.

I will put all my energy into writing my next book, and I hope you will all continue to follow it.

Thank you for your company.
