Naruto: Otsutsuki Konan!

... ...

The land of ghosts, the palace of witches.

At night, the palace was dark.

Only sporadic moonlight spilled in from the window, reflecting on the white bed covered with tulle.

Miko Shion sat on the bedside with her knees in her arms, her head resting on her knees, staring blankly at the moon outside the window.

The figure is so lonely and lifeless.

She didn't know what she should do or how to live.

No friends, no family.

Even the guard Ashoka, who could still speak a few words, died in the hands of the enemy to protect himself.

Ever since she finished sealing the demons and returned to this empty palace, Ziyuan had never felt such great loneliness and coldness.

Everything in front of me is so familiar, just like before I left.

But it seemed so cold and unfamiliar at the moment.

The people who should have existed in the past are no longer there.

Many maids and guards who served him died in the monster turmoil half a year ago.

"It's been half a year... time has really passed by..."

Ziyuan's eyes were lowered, and her silver-white hair fell smoothly, covering her delicate face.

Over the past six months, she spent almost every night like this.

He just sat there in a daze, his eyes empty and lifeless.

Whenever I feel tired, I fall asleep unconsciously.

Then wait until daytime the next day, put on a miko costume and perform a performance that I hate in the crowd, to calm the hearts of the people of the country of ghosts.

The cycle starts over and over again, and I don’t know when I will break out of this endless cycle.

Maybe you can only be freed when you die...

"It's so bad..."

Ziyuan's little head sank into her arms, and a dull murmur came from the arms.

She felt extremely bored and disgusted with this kind of life.

I wish I could kill myself and stop living this terrible life that I can see ending at a glance.

But Shion can't.

She knew she couldn't be so willful, couldn't leave everything behind and selfishly choose to end herself.

She also carries on her shoulders the responsibilities of all previous generations of shrine maidens.

She must continue to protect the monster's seal and cannot let this monster come out again and destroy the world.

and.

Shion also wants to continue the miko career, she needs to give birth to the next miko!

Then wait until the moment when your daughter can shoulder the responsibility.

He must imitate his mother, imitate the witches of all generations, and seal his own witchcraft power and even all his life force into the witch necklace.

Use it as a source of power to continue sealing the monsters.

This is the responsibility and inheritance of every generation of miko, and it must not be cut off in Shion's generation.

Therefore, even if Ziyuan no longer wants to live her current life.

But for my mother and my responsibility, I can only live like a zombie every day.

Just stay alive.

"Almost 17 years old... In one year, I will marry a man I have never met to give birth to the next miko..."

Every time a generation of miko comes of age, the Kingdom of Ghosts will arrange for the best man to be the miko’s husband.

Aster is also inevitable.

Miko...doesn't deserve love, it's just a beautiful extravagant wish...

"Naruto-kun..."

Ziyuan buried her head deeper and shouted inaudibly, a golden figure appeared in her mind.

She didn't know if she liked Naruto's feelings, or if she just regarded him as a beautiful sustenance.

That contact half a year ago.

Naruto's sunshine, cheerfulness, and bond with his companions deeply shocked Shion.

These are not things that she has, but she desperately desires to have them.

So it wasn't until Naruto finished his mission to the Ghost Country that Shion mustered up the courage to invite Naruto to live happily ever after with her before they parted.

This was her first attempt to truly take charge of her own life.

Ziyuan doesn't want to marry a stranger casually.

If she had a choice, she would rather get married to Naruto, who saved her.

Maybe you can really taste what love is.

But a pity.

Naruto, that emotional idiot, didn't understand the meaning of Shion's words at that time.

Even Kakashi, Sakura and others present knew that this was a rather obscure confession.

But Naruto didn't know anything about it. He just gave a thumbs up to Shion and encouraged him stupidly:

Oh, come on, you will definitely be able to live happily!

"This is the destiny of a miko... If I had been more straightforward, would there have been a different outcome..."

Ziyuan murmured lowly, already denying this possibility in her heart.

Even if she expresses her love directly, she cannot change her destiny as a miko.

As a Konoha ninja and an important Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, how could Naruto commit himself to the Kingdom of Demons?

And the responsibility of being a miko on her shoulders does not allow Shion to live in Konoha.

This is a dilemma and even a cold reality with no solution.

"Don't expect those beautiful things, those have nothing to do with you, just be your miko..."

Ziyuan's voice was hollow and hollow.

In half a year, she has completely resigned herself to her fate and no longer has some impossible extravagant hopes.

I will no longer imagine that Naruto may one day understand what happened at that time and take the initiative to come to the country of ghosts...

......

At this moment, two transparent figures were floating in the air of the empty palace.

One big and one small, they are obviously Konan and Ichikishimahime.

The two of them had been here for a while, listening to the entire inner monologue of Ziyuan.

This is a girl who is deeply bound by fate and responsibility.

She is a poor girl who longs for change, but is unable to change and can only resign herself to her fate.

Ichikishima-hime stared at her big eyes with dazzling eyes, folded her arms and said in an interesting tone:

"The power of the witch...this special sealing ability is really interesting..."

"Oh? How much do you know about shrine maidens? Where are they inherited from?"

Xiao Nan was curious if this big lolita who had lived for hundreds of years knew some secret information.

Ichikishimahime shook her head: "The first generation of miko was much older than me and appeared at least a thousand years ago.

Perhaps at that time, the power was obtained from a certain god and passed down..."

"Huh...god??" Xiaonan curled her lips in disdain.

You don't need to ask to know that the gods this big loli talks about are definitely animal fairies...

A hairy god?

"What are you doing here? You didn't come here specifically to see this little girl grieve, right?"

Ichikishimahime asked suspiciously.

After getting along together, she finally figured out Xiaonan's temperament.

As long as you don't offend her and know how to behave, this person is easy to get along with.

There is no need to be respectful at all times, as long as you are obedient, and you can be casual and natural when dealing with each other.

"You'll find out if you keep reading..." Xiaonan gave up.

He immediately canceled the silent barrier around him, appeared, and floated towards Ziyuan beside the bed.

Oh, you confused and lonely miko, let me, Konan-sama, warm you with my fiery body~

PS: Book friends, this book has been locked up in a dark room and it is estimated that it will never come out. However, the author found that it can still be updated normally, but there will be no new readers in the future. Only book friends who have added bookshelf can continue reading. Author I don’t want to be a eunuch, and I also want to give book lovers an ending. I can only say that I will try my best to update and try to finish the book, but the pace will inevitably speed up in the end... It can be regarded as generating electricity with love.
