Konoha's Day

"Sakura, you have to rely on yourself from now on. You have to be strong to survive."

"Dad, Mom"

Familiar voices surrounded her ears, and Sakura woke up from the darkness. She looked around in confusion. It was pitch black and there were no up or down four dimensions.

"Is this a dream? I had that dream again?"

Sakura stroked her forehead to ease the throbbing pain in her head, a dream that would wake her up every time she slept for several years.

She didn't know what it meant at first, but gradually, as she grew older, she discovered some details and long-term memories, and she understood that this was not a simple dream, but an impression engraved in her life.

"Now, are you ready? Let's fight."

A joyful, bloodthirsty voice with no concealed murderous intent came from behind. Sakura's body trembled, and she turned around stiffly. Gaara's figure stood five meters away.

"Come on, let's fight. In order to prove each other, fight with all means. No one will disturb you here."

Gaara's expression was very excited, his eyes were bloodshot, and his expression was even more twisted with a smile, looking very crazy.

For a moment, Sakura was frightened by the opponent's aura, and fear was born in her heart for no reason.

"This is where"

"Shukaku's inner space, a different world created with gravitational magnetic fields, now, stop talking nonsense, let's continue the fight before."

silence

Sakura looked at Gaara silently, her expression a little calm.

"Hey, what's your expression like, do you pity me?"

Being looked at by Sakura like this, Gaara felt irritated for no reason.

Sakura shook her head and asked: "Why are you so obsessed with fighting? Is taking other people's lives so satisfying?"

"Yes, when the other person's life is taken away, when the hot blood is splashed on the body, when the other person's cry for mercy is heard, only at that moment, only at that moment can I feel truly alive."

Having said this, Gaara seemed to have thought of something and looked at Sakura fiercely, "Isn't it you?"

"Do not."

Sakura shook her head slightly, "Although I have been prepared to kill people since I decided to become a ninja, I have never killed anyone until now."

"What a joke."

Gaara shouted loudly, somewhat unacceptable, "How on earth do you spend your life without killing people?"

"You can face the world with a normal heart and treat your companions with a smile. Isn't it because you have killed more people?"

""

Sakura frowned slightly, not understanding the logic behind Gaara's words. Why did he have to kill people in order to face the world with a normal heart? Why did he have to kill people in order to treat his companions with a smile?

"I don't quite understand what you're talking about."

"Don't pretend to be stupid. The loneliness deep in your eyes has betrayed you. Although you usually play with your companions, you feel it yourself. You are not companions. You have not really integrated into them at all."

"Because you are special. You are an isolated island outside the sea of ​​people. You are the only one on the island. How on earth did you survive like this?"

"In the end, no one can beat loneliness."

silence

Sakura lowered her head, recalling the image of flames sweeping through Konoha.

"Sakura, you have to rely on yourself from now on. Stay strong and live."

With a normal smile, as if they were just doing a small daily task, my parents turned around and left so coolly at that time, leaving only themselves who were ignorant but aware of something.

Gradually, she understood what she had vaguely felt in her heart at that time, that she would live alone in the future.

However, you must be strong and live as strong as your parents said before they left.

Although there is only one person left, everyone in the village takes good care of her because she is the son of a hero and the daughter of the Fourth Hokage Haruno Ou.

just

"I really miss you guys."

Whenever she sits alone at the dinner table at night, Sakura can't help crying, even though everyone greets her and takes good care of her.

But I see children of the same age going to school, playing under the guidance of adults, acting coquettishly, begging for toys from adults, and having adults help blow out candles on their birthdays.

I want these too

I also want to have parents who can pick me up when I go to and from school. I also want to have parents who can act like a baby. I also want to hear that kind welcome home when I go home.

But no, there is only an empty house in Sakura's home, which is dark and cold.

"Do you really want parents?"

That day, a woman found her. Because it was so long ago, Sakura couldn't remember the other person's appearance. She only knew that she was a very tall woman with a 1.6-meter long sword on her back. Handsome, just like senior Tiantian.

"Do you really want parents? If it is true, I can give you parents."

The man asked himself.

In response, Sakura naturally nodded expectantly, and then her heart was pierced by the long sword that shone with cold light.

His consciousness gradually fell into darkness, and when he woke up again, the familiar and friendly voice came to his ears.

"Sakura, wake up quickly, you're going to be late."

Yes, Sakura met her parents, although her parents are no longer ninjas, and she is no longer the son of a hero.

But this is the world she expected. It must be that person who changed the past, which led to the current changes.

The young Sakura ignored all kinds of anomalies due to ignorance and great joy, and always subconsciously thought in the direction she wanted.

However, as she grew older, Sakura's understanding of things became clearer and clearer. She gradually understood that that woman had not changed the past at all and had not changed the world into what she wanted.

She just sent herself to a world she expected, a world with everything she wanted.

Family, friends, teachers, classmates

However, this is the world I expected, but it is not my world.

These people are Sakura's family and friends but not mine.

Although the wonderful sense of satisfaction told her not to think in this direction, deep down in her consciousness she always remembered the parents who gave birth to her, educated her, welcomed death with a smile, and told her to work hard and live strong.

"That's my family, my hometown."

Sakura raised her head and looked at Gaara silently, her eyes were cold and emotionless, and the aura of loneliness wrapped around her body forming a mist visible to the naked eye.

"That's right, that's right, that's it, that's this feeling. The world is so big that you can only isolate yourself. Since you can't get the recognition of the world, then destroy them. Come on, let's fight."

Gaara became excited again.
