Ninja World: Winter Foolish Game

Darkness and silence...this was Sasuki's first impression as she walked through the passage.

The next moment, the surrounding darkness was like broken glass, showing countless cracks, and the sound of shattering continued.

boom……

With a crisp shattering sound, the scene in front of Sasuki changed drastically.

chirp chirp...

The sounds of birds, the rustling of leaves... familiar yet unfamiliar sounds came to her ears.

The darkness dispersed and a ray of sunlight shone in.

In the blink of an eye, Sasuki saw everything in front of her.

Woods, grass, sunshine... When I walked out of the woods, what I saw was a slightly unfamiliar house and rows of fire shadow rocks.

"Konoha..."

Sasuki looked at Konoha under the cliff with complicated eyes, then caught a glimpse of something, and her pupils shrank instantly.

call out…

The breeze blew and the leaves were flying, and Sasuki's figure disappeared in an instant.

In the streets of Konoha, the guards composed of Uchiha were using a tough attitude to forcibly detain illegal vendors.

But the other villagers didn't know that. They only knew that these Uchiha tribesmen were bullying people again, and they looked at them with disgust as they dared not speak out in anger.

Faced with the misunderstandings of the people, the Uchiha guards regarded themselves as aloof and disdained to explain to others.

And all of this was seen by Sasuki, who was hiding in the crowd, watching all of this calmly, and then the figure disappeared like smoke.

"Huh? Was there someone here just now?"

"No way, are you seeing it wrong?"

"But, I clearly remember..."

"Is it a ghost? Okay, okay, let's go quickly. Don't be troubled by the Uchiha people later."

"Yeah, let's go!"

The two villagers muttered to themselves, and then when the Uchiha people looked over, they dispersed in a hurry, as if they were being stared at by ghosts.

As for Zuo Yue, she was walking back and forth among the crowd like a ghost, but strangely she was not noticed by anyone.

Soon, she came to a familiar yet unfamiliar doorway, and stood there uneasily.

"Excuse me, what's the matter with you?"

At this time, a gentle voice sounded, as if it had some magic power, instantly soothing Sasuke's uneasy mood.

However, the moment she raised her head, her eyes were full of longing and excitement, and she couldn't help shouting.

"Mother……"

Following the words "Mother", Mikoto's pupils narrowed slightly, because she really felt a strong sense of longing and a close sense of kinship from it, as if... she was treating her own child.

Seeing Mikoto's shock, Sasuki came to her senses instantly and apologized quickly: "I'm sorry, I... made a mistake."

Yes, his parents died long ago, and even his own brother solved the problem with his own hands.

Everything in front of me is just false.

"Do not…"

Seeing the loneliness in Sasuki's eyes, Mikoto didn't know why, but she felt a sting in her heart, as if the big girl in front of her was really her own child.

She couldn't help but say with sincere tenderness: "Child, do you want to...come in?"

Sasuki was startled for a moment, and then the corner of her mouth raised a smile involuntarily. Her temperament was noble, elegant and generous, and she was kind to Mikoto and other talents.

For the first and only time, he bowed slightly and saluted and said, "Excuse me."

"Ah, no, no, no, don't bother."

It was the first time for Mikoto to see such an elegant woman, and she felt a little cautious for a moment.

But seeing the loss in Zuo Yue's eyes, she felt a little overwhelmed.

"It doesn't have to be like this, I just miss the past."

Sasuki signaled that she didn't need to be so reserved, and Mikoto could hear the alienation in her tone, and instantly felt a twinge in her heart.

But he didn't know what to say, so he had to forcefully lead Sasuke into the house with a smile.

Looking at the familiar decoration in front of her, it was exactly the same as in her memory, except for the lack of some of the girl's work she had done when she was a child.

Even compared to her empty house, everything in front of her felt more like home, but it had nothing to do with her.

"...I'll do it myself."

When Mikoto wanted to bring out the guest slippers for her, Sasuki couldn't bear to let her biological mother do these things for her, even if the person in front of her was not her real biological mother.

So under Mikoto's surprised gaze, Sasuki took out the women's slippers stored in the shoe cabinet with great familiarity, and put her high heels in the shoe cabinet where the guests stored their shoes.

'How...how did she know?It's like I was familiar with everything here from the beginning...'

'who are you?Why do you give me a kind feeling...'

Sasuki, who was lowering her body to store her shoes, didn't notice the strange look in Mikoto's eyes, or maybe it was just because she was Mikoto and this was her familiar home that her vigilance began to relax.

When she raised her head again, what she saw was still the familiar, gentle face, which made her feel enlightened.

"Come with me."

Mikoto called to Sasuke and asked her to follow her.

Sasuki naturally agreed and put away the scepter. Instead of walking on the aisle of the ancestral house, she slowly looked around at everything in the house, her eyes filled with nostalgia and traces of sadness.

What she didn't know was that Mikoto was seeing all of this, and a very absurd, yet extremely reasonable thought came to her mind as she was originally confused.

'Is she... my daughter?No, no, no, this is impossible. '

The more impossible an idea seems, the more unforgettable it is, and the more you think about it, the more possible it becomes, and everything that just happened can be explained.

"M...Mikoto...cough, the living room is over here."

I really didn't know what to call Sasuki, so I could only give a tactical cough to remind Mikoto that she had gone too far.

"Ah! Okay, okay, sorry, I got distracted."

Looking at Mikoto who was a little at a loss, Sasuki looked at her strangely as if it was the first time he met her, but didn't notice anything.

She just nodded lightly to indicate that it was okay and sat quietly on the cushion in the living room. After all, she was a guest now.

"Wait a moment, the tea will be ready soon."

Mikoto's eyes were complicated with her back to Sasuki, and the questions in her heart continued to increase, like a heavy fog, making people feel confused.

But soon, her eyes calmed down again. Instead of thinking wildly, she might as well just tap on the side and listen.

Or, ask directly in person?

"Black tea and snacks are here, please use them slowly."

Mikoto dragged the dinner plate and placed the tea cups and snacks on Sasuki's table and her own table.

"By the way, kid, what's your name?"

"...Sasuki."
