When I first arrived in Hokage, Kaguya Ji insisted on forcing me to make a choice

"The sacred tree has broken through the seal..."

Abe Seimei looked at this breakthrough seal and murmured to himself about the growing sacred tree.

He had experienced this kind of scene thousands of years ago.

Seeing it again at this time, I couldn't help but tremble.

The sacred tree's never-ending plunder of vitality is simply a disaster for the world.

At this time, he could only look at Yu Ye,

Waiting for his choice,

After all, the only one who can prevent this disaster now is Yu Ye.

The same is true for Abe Kiyoshi and the saint.

With complicated expressions, they all looked at Yu Ye.

And Naito is still floating in the air, adapting to the power of the chakra fruit.

The power in his body was surging, as if it were endless. After feeling it for a moment, he was almost immersed in it.

After a long time, after he fully adapted and saw the sacred tree breaking through the seal,

In a short period of time, it almost grew in size, and at the same time, a large amount of vitality was absorbed at this moment.

He didn't say anything more.

Instead, he floated and came directly to the center of the sacred tree.

He took one step forward and walked directly into the sacred tree.

Slowly disappearing under the wood grain of the sacred tree, as if becoming one with the sacred tree at this moment.

"It must be successful..."

Abe Seimei whispered.

Thousands of years of sacrifice, thousands of years of waiting,

Just for this glimmer of hope today.

The saintly girl also had complicated eyes.

The scene in front of her seemed to make her see,

The scene where every tribesman feeds the sacred tree with his own body.

Including herself...

She understood the despair and pain she felt when she was trapped inside the sacred tree.

Life will be sucked out, and one's own consciousness will continue to decay, eventually being assimilated and reduced to silence.

So at this time, the only emotions she showed were complicated and... admiration.

The sacred tree is still growing and growing,

Every minute and every second, huge amounts of vitality are absorbed,

It comes from flowers and trees, from mountains and swamps, from the natural world...

As the sacred tree continues to be devoured, it seems as if there is a layer of darkness on the earth that continues to expand outward.

All the areas wrapped in darkness began to lose their vitality.

But Yu Ye seemed to have no reaction when he was in the body of the sacred tree.

"Hamura, did you notice any movement?"

The imperial court of Daxia, thousands of miles away,

Yui asked.

"A commotion? What commotion? Is it the commotion caused by Mother and Father?"

Hamura said confusedly.

"No, seriously, I feel like the natural energy of the world is passing away."

Yuyi frowned and said.

"What can happen? If something happens, my father is still here, so I'm just worrying about it."

Hamura didn't take it seriously.

"All right……"

Hagoromo was finally convinced, although he still felt a little uneasy inside.

In the other room, Kaguya also felt uneasy.

When she noticed the changes in the world, she woke up,

After waking up, he found that Yu Ye was not around.

This uneasiness has reached its peak.

"Night..."

She murmured,

However, at this time, she had already dispersed her power.

He can't even use space-time ninjutsu.

I can only wait anxiously for Yu Ye to return.

All the people of the Imperial Court of Great Xia,

At this moment, they were all immersed in the welfare of the people brought by the imperial court. They did not know that there was an unprecedented crisis.

is breaking out.

……

When Abe Seimei thought that the integration was going to fail,

Finally, the sacred tree stopped absorbing natural energy.

Its endless expansion and growth seemed to have been pressed on the pause button at this moment, and the earth stopped shaking.

And the next moment, the sacred tree that covered the sky and reached into the sky began to slowly shrink.

Countless branches and leaves began to shrink, and finally, they transformed into Naito.

Yu Ye was dressed in white clothes and shengxue, with wood grain all over his body, and the aura on his body was even more complicated and weird.

Although the next moment, it returned to normal.

"you succeeded?"

Abe Seimei asked.

"Ah."

Naito Yu nodded.

After receiving the affirmative answer, even Abe Seimei couldn't help but feel slightly moved.

"My mission is over, but it may be more difficult for you in the future than it was in my time."

he said.

The thousand years of waiting have been too long.

At this moment, an aura of vicissitudes and decay began to spread from his body.

"In this era, you will go forward alone and bear the weight of the sacred tree alone.

There will be no one behind you, and you will be more difficult and miserable than anyone else.I seemed to have seen that day. "

Abe Seimei murmured, and finally took a deep look at Naito, his eyes full of pity.

After saying all this, an ethereal temperament emanated from his body.

His body was a little hazy and erratic. At this moment, pieces of light rain flew up from his body.

He slowly faded away, gradually disappeared, and his life came to an end.

"From now on... I'll have to rely on you alone."

The saint said softly, and her body began to flicker.

She didn't know who she was talking to.

It seemed as if he was talking to Naito Naito, and also to Abe Kiyuki, more like talking to himself.

Finally, she turned around and touched Abe Qingyue's head,

She looked at Yu Ye again,

There was an indescribable look in his eyes.

She didn't say anything more and bowed slightly to Yu Ye.

The body gradually faded away.

Thousands of years of waiting, just for this moment,

They seem to be witnesses of the times,

Bid a complete farewell to their era,

As they said, they had fought bloody battles in the stars.

It took generations of sacrifices for thousands of years to achieve today.

This is their mission, and now,

From Yu Ye, they saw an unprecedented path.

He will be alone, bearing all the hopes of this era,

It was as if there was a cage on his body and shackles on his back.

There was no one behind him, alone, facing the darkness.

Yu Ye said nothing more, but felt a little disappointed in his heart.

Watch them fade away in the rain of light.

It seems to mean the complete loneliness of an era.

Affected by the sacred tree, the weather changed rapidly. In a short period of time,

There has been a cloud over here.

I don't know when, the heavy rain has started to drift, seeming to be washing away the dirt and lead in this world.

Abe Qingyue also left, rejecting Yu Ye’s invitation.

She held the little fox alone,

Take a road full of wind and snow,

In the drifting rain, her body inevitably looked a little thin.

But her back was straight, she was really the only one left, so she could only keep walking.

……

Yu Ye returned to the imperial court,

Princess Kaguya has been waiting there for a long time,

Looking at the aura on Yu Ye's body, she seemed to understand all this.

Especially Naito's eyes, those nine magatama reincarnation sharingan eyes that can never be closed.

That symbolizes strength, but it also seems to symbolize ominousness and curse.

His aura is vicissitudes of life and decay, just like the former Princess Kaguya,

But fortunately, time seems to have stopped for him.

Kaguya didn't say much, she just rushed over and hugged Naito,

Buried your head into his neck.
