Konoha Hidden Village is being rebuilt

"Paradise" has entered night.

The bright sky with stars and moon descended silently, embracing the brightly lit amusement facilities. The rotating coffee cups are surrounded by fences and stop quietly in the night. The colored lights mounted on the body of the porcelain cup are bright and dazzling, giving the scenery lying on the edge of the cup a layer of changing halo.

The group of people took a short rest here, and no one spoke.

Jingyou flipped the small colored lights on the car and looked up. To the left of the coffee cup facility was a carousel that slowly rotated to the music. Looking to the right, you could see the colorful Ferris wheel. She stared at the Ferris wheel with its top almost reaching the moon, silent.

Haruno Sakura sat in a coffee cup with her, looked at her depressed mood for a moment, and then suddenly spoke.

"Shall we go ride the Ferris wheel?"

Jingyou suddenly came back to her senses and was startled for a moment, but before she could reply, Haruno Sakura had already stood up and held her. The hand being held felt an irresistible force, and the girl started running with surprise - the destination was the Ferris wheel.

The Digimon who were traveling with them were left behind, and the two walked through the warm night wind and stopped in front of the majestic and operating facility.

The bear beast standing in front of the operating table saw them and waved with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, come and sit around and relax!"

The big doll-like bear raised his arm and pressed the button, and the Ferris wheel slowly stopped. Jingyou was pulled into a carriage by Haruno Sakura in a daze, watching her wave to the bear with a smile, close the carriage door, and sit down opposite him.

With a "click", the Ferris wheel started moving again.

The transparent glass blocked out the sound of the rushing wind, leaving only faint music, perhaps coming from the carousel. As the height rises, the windows on both sides gradually reflect the night view overlooking the entire "paradise".

The carriage is not big, and two people sitting across from each other can almost touch each other's knees. The first person to break the silence was Haruno Sakura.

The girl looked at the scenery outside the window and casually talked about her story: "When I was in the ninja school, I also learned theory very well. At that time, I thought complacently that this was enough, but when I was promoted to genin, I realized that it was not at all... "

"Have Sasuke-kun and the others told you about the mission of Wave Country?" Haruno Sakura turned to look at Aiyu.

Jingyou nodded.

Haruno Sakura smiled, looking very sad: "At that time, I saw Sasuke-kun, Naruto and even Kakashi-sensei were in a hard fight, but I was helpless. I couldn't do anything except cry... Then I realized that I was in a mess. This is a fatal shortcoming in actual combat. I looked down on Naruto at first, but when faced with danger, I was the one who behaved the worst."

The Ferris wheel climbed to the top inch by inch, and the bright moon hung outside the glass, as if it could be picked up with one's hand.

Haruno Sakura leaned over and hugged Jingyou, put her forehead against hers, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Because of my lack of confidence, I wanted to abstain from the Chuunin exam several times, but in the end I persisted until the second test for various reasons..."

The battle in the Death Forest flashed back before her eyes, and Haruno Sakura could still feel the trembling.

For the completely invincible enemy, for being so weak, for Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto who cannot be protected...

She touched her severed hair and finally calmed down.

"I heard that Sasuke-kun likes girls with long hair, so he deliberately grew his hair long." Her beautiful blue eyes were lit up by the stars and the moon, which was no less brilliant than the night view of "Paradise", "But , in order to protect something more important than 'love'——"

She can also cut it off with her own hands!

Haruno Sakura said firmly: "There must be something we can do!"

Jingyou stared at her, infected by this determination, and couldn't help but smile and nodded gently.

A good night's sleep.

The next day, Jingyou discovered the last fragment of memory in "Paradise".

In the fifth year of entering the ninja school, Keiyou, who no longer needed extra care from others, finally decided to grow her hair long. When Uchiha Sarana and Uzumaki Himawari heard about this, they expressed their intention to accompany her.

Two years later, the hair that was originally perverse has been tied up obediently.

On the day of the graduation exam, Uchiha Sakura, who took special leave to spend time with her daughter, helped Keiyu braid her fishbone braids and mentioned nonchalantly: "Rather than becoming a ninja, my mother hopes that Keiyu will find something that makes her happy - Keiyu loves music so much. , why not go for further education? Mom remembers that the Kingdom of Fire has a special academy."

In mid-March, the flowers of the winter cherry trees have withered and green new buds have grown. Jingyou looked at the green tree through the glass window and smiled lightly.

"Music isn't the most important thing. I'm happy right now, Mom."

She gathered her braided hair, curled up the hair tie with pink cherry blossoms and bisque at both ends with her fingertips, stood up and looked at her mother.

"Becoming a ninja was a choice of my own free will - one I have no regrets about."

At the end of March, the graduation ceremony of the Ninja School was held as scheduled.

Keiyu, who successfully passed the graduation exam and registered as a genin of Konoha, stood under the stage with the graduating students of the same class, waiting for the principal, Umino Iruka, to call his name.

The lengthy preparation, thanks, encouragement, and prospects... Iruka Umino finally finished reading the speech and entered the stage of distributing forehead protection and dividing into three-person teams.

The students were in high spirits.

Uzumaki Himawari held Jingyou's hand and muttered nervously: "Team with Xiaoyu, team with Xiaoyu, team with Xiaoyu..."

Jingyou smiled and patted the back of her hand, looking towards the stage.

Umino Iruka glanced at the roster: "Flying from outside the cloud——"

The boy who had become familiar with them in the past few years calmly came on stage and stood aside. The head teacher silently handed him the forehead protector.

"Class 15!" Umino Iruka announced the team results and continued to click on the next person, "Uzumaki Himawari——"

Jingyou let go of Uzumaki Himawari's sweaty hand, watched her walk up the stairs with a smile, stopped beside Yunwai Feilai, and took the forehead protector.

"Class 15!"

There is only one spot left in this team. Logically speaking, the next person to be called is——

"——Uchiha Keiyu!"

The dust has settled.

After regaining his composure, Jingyou walked towards Uzumaki Sunflower, who was overflowing with excitement, and turned to face the dark audience under the stage.

The head teacher took out a forehead protector and handed it to her with both hands. She also took it with both hands, smiled and spoke.

"Thank you for your teachings over the past six years. I'm very sorry for causing you a lot of trouble."

The class teacher looked at her melancholy and lowered his voice: "Congratulations on your graduation... Come on!"

She nodded slowly, tied the forehead protector, and heard Umino Iruka read out the results of her team——

"Class 15!"

She was surrounded by her future teammates, and her family members were watching her in the audience. Keyou lowered her eyes and looked back. Her father, Uchiha Sasuke, smiled at her, her mother, Uchiha Sakura, had a complicated expression, and her sister, Uchiha Sarana, frowned with concern.

Her fingertips rubbed the sunken Konoha symbol on her forehead protector, and she looked determined.

The halo of memory slowly faded away. Jingyou, who had lost some height and returned to the age of thirteen, raised his hand to look. He was holding the shining Konoha forehead protector in his palm.

She tied the forehead protector and looked calmly at Haruno Sakura and the Digimon with different expressions.

"Let's go, get ready to go to the real world."
