I, who was determined to stay in Naruto, became the white moonlight

It was the first day after Haruko's death.

Everyone is still immersed in grief. She had many friends and people she helped during her lifetime. Many people heard the news of the death of this war hero and came today to mourn her.

There were quite a lot of people queuing up, all holding various flowers in their hands, mostly purple. Tsunade and the other two had anticipated this situation, so they came to visit early in the morning and then left to make room for them.

Tsunade returned home and slumped on the sofa in a daze, clutching the necklace around her neck tightly in her hands. The tears that had accumulated in her eyes along the way also fell in confusion.

She who grew up with me, she who laughed, she who cried, she who was angry... everything seems to be still vivid in my mind.

Kato Dan, who had accompanied her back, walked slowly forward and patted her back silently to comfort her. Tsunade then hugged Kato Dan and cried bitterly in his arms.

Sheng Shu, who always prided himself on being a man, was sobbing at this moment, raising his hand to wipe away his endless tears with his sleeve.

Jiraiya entered Mount Myoboku, and seeing that he rarely came back, some toads surrounded him and asked him about the interesting things about his travels.

Seeing that he remained silent, even the carefree toads realized that something was wrong.

Contrary to his usual behavior, Fukasaku left the place where he usually meditated and walked in front of Jiraiya as the toads made way for him.

He asked in a low voice: "Haruko...did she go back?"

Although it was a question, it confirmed itself. Jiraiya didn't understand the hidden meaning in his words and answered in a hoarse voice: "Haruko...she passed away."

The toads were all shocked and started talking at once, but all they could say was "impossible".

They had clearly made appointments with her. Some wanted to go fishing together, some wanted to cook together, and some wanted to play pranks together... She was the only one willing to accompany them to do these things.

After the news spread throughout Mt. Myoboku, the mountain became unusually quiet that day, so quiet that it seemed as if Jiraiya was the only one left in the world.

Fukasaku's wife rarely stopped him from drinking, so Fukasaku sat with Jiraiya on the edge of the cliff. They were surrounded by empty bottles of wine and new wine that was being opened regardless of the situation. Jiraiya kept pouring the wine into his mouth, as if this could help him escape from his tragic mood.

Fukasaku caught a glimpse of the tears in the corners of his eyes and sighed for a long time.

The man and the toad sat there for a long time without speaking.

Mitarashi Anko hadn't received any news from Orochimaru calling her to work recently, and was wondering if Orochimaru had gone out to do something, but she unexpectedly heard the news of her death from other jonin.

Haruko's sister, who was always smiling, would bring her desserts, and accuse Orochimaru of child abuse, has passed away...?

Mitarashi Anko's whole body stiffened. She felt her vision gradually blurry and tears rolled down her cheeks without any words. She wanted to open her mouth to refute, "It's not like that", "It's impossible", but she couldn't say anything.

Orochimaru-sensei...Yes! Find Orochimaru-sensei!

Mitarashi Anko seemed to have found hope. She hurried to the laboratory that had been visited by her sister Haruko, but she pulled the door but it was locked.

Fortunately, Mitarashi Anko had a spare key because she usually prepared equipment in advance. She took out the key in a panic, and tried to lock it for a long time before inserting it to open it.

The laboratory was cold and silent, the curtains were drawn tightly, not a single light could get in.

The left side of the room was filled with lab tables, and the extra space on the right was occupied by a new white single bed, which was purchased by Orochimaru. She and Orochimaru had never slept on it, and even the only owner who had prepared it could no longer lie down on it.

Mitarashi Anko walked closer, and when she saw the bulging quilt, she was about to laugh out loud, but she discovered that the person who heard the noise and sat up from the bed was actually Orochimaru.

His usually pale face looked even more lifeless than a living being.

He glanced coldly at Mitarashi Anko who was standing there in a daze, and said in a hoarse voice: "Get out."

After Mitarashi Anko had to accept the reality and ran away crying, Orochimaru slowly scanned the entire laboratory.

The reason for preparing all this is dead, and this laboratory... is useless.

Boom boom boom!

"Kushina, isn't it a bad idea to come to my house directly like this?" Namikaze Minato stood beside her a little awkwardly.

Kushina smiled and humphed, "I often come to Haruko-sister's house, you should be the one who is worried!"

"...It was obviously you who insisted on dragging me into this." Namikaze Minato shook his head helplessly.

Suddenly the door opened, revealing the slightly haggard face of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Even Kushina, who often visited, seldom saw Haruko Asama's brother, the Hokage who was very busy with official duties. When they saw it was him, the two children couldn't help but become nervous.

"Hello, Third Hokage!" x2

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at their well-behaved and curious faces, and couldn't help but think of when Haruko was the same age as them.

Even though she is just a child, she can take care of Jiraiya in life. She likes to slack off with Tsunade during training, and always laughs at Jiraiya with an innocent face, but in the end she can't win over the mean Orochimaru.

But even though she is like this, she can still say something like "My dream is to make money to support Hiruzen in his old age"...

Sarutobi Hiruzen faced the two children's puzzled expressions, squatted down, hugged them and cried silently.

The change in Hatake Sakumo's opinion of Hayabusa Haruko is roughly from a strange and outgoing person, a teammate with whom he cooperates well, to a companion who is worthy of trust.

But when he survived the robbery and heard her blessings and hopes for him, Hatake Sakumo changed his opinion of her.

A dazzling best friend.

He had also heard stories about her, more or less: the younger sister of the Third Hokage, the best friend of the "Three Ninjas of Konoha", the leader of the mechanical boy Beiruo...

Because she had a happy beginning, Hatake Sakumo wished her a happy ending.

But I didn't expect...

Hatake Kakashi came out from school and walked over to his father who was leaning against the wall with his head down.

Normally, the two of them would spend their time together in such a quiet manner. At first, Kakashi Hatake didn't notice anything and just walked forward with his hands in his pockets.

It’s been almost a week…

Hatake Kakashi hesitated for a long time, but couldn't help asking: "Dad...didn't that weird sister come?"

"Hmm?" Hatake Sakumo was subconsciously confused for a moment.

Hatake Kakashi continued, "She used to always come and bump into me, always trying to take off my mask, and even using rice balls to tempt me to call her sister...but she seems to have not been here recently."

Hearing his words, Hatake Sakumo fell silent, with an indescribable complexity in his eyes.

As if he noticed something unusual in his father's attitude, Hatake Kakashi asked in an anxious tone that he himself didn't even realize, "Did something happen to her?"

Hatake Kakashi slowly heard his father speak: "She... turned into a star."
