Narration system starting from Konoha

With a single step, Sora vanished from his spot, moving like a black shadow through the forest. The hazy mist, combined with Sora's speed, made him appear ghostly.

"Boom bang bang."

Eight smoke grenades exploded in all directions, and thick, acrid smoke enveloped the entire battlefield.

Uchiha Sora took out another smoke bomb and threw it, causing the visibility to decrease visibly.

"Uchiha Sora is approaching rapidly, be careful of his poison gas bomb!" Kidomaru shouted a warning.

[Kidomaru is overthinking it. He and Tayuya aren't strong enough to make Uchiha Sora waste his poison gas bomb.]

Kidomaru, not understanding what was going on, became cautious, moving his body through the forest while continuously spraying out spider webs that covered the forest behind him.

Judging from the narration, Uchiha Sora was clearly hiding his strength, and he planned to observe for a while before figuring it out.

Tayuya can only hope for the best. The four members themselves don't have any bonds; they were all selected step by step through battles.

Perhaps there were feelings and bonds in the past, but now there is only endless indifference.

Tayuya entered Cursed Seal II state and retreated, trying to get away from the smoke area.

"Shh."

Tayuya's expression changed, and she moved quickly, clenching her fist and slamming it down.

Uchiha Ku, arriving late but arriving first, delivered a powerful kick to Tayuya's chest, then quickly moved forward, aimed at his head, and kicked him away.

He leaped up and hugged the dazed Tayuya from the front, holding her firmly in place.

The two soft mounds that had bulged on her chest were instantly flattened, and the appearance of Cursed Seal 2 was like that of a monster, but Uchiha Sora felt completely calm.

A terrifying suction force emanated from the technique, drawing a large amount of chakra into the body.

"Ah—, Uchiha Sora, what kind of technique is this? I'm going to kill you!"

Tayuya somewhat understood the cause of Sakon and Jirobo's deaths. Uchiha Sora was the most cunning and scheming one. Unfortunately, Tayuya realized this too late and paid the price with her life.

Although Kidomaru didn't know what technique Uchiha Sora used, he knew it must be something extraordinary.

The body seemed to be escaping outwards uncontrollably, just as Kong had said before, it would exert its heart to the extreme.

Tayuya struggled desperately but to no avail, and quickly withdrew from the Cursed Seal II state.

With a horrifying scream, Uchiha Ku slammed his fist into Tayuya's head, knocking her unconscious.

The technique moved slowly, completely binding Tayuya, and blue chakra flowed into Uchiha Sora's body like water.

Chapter 118 Redemption or Pretense?

The piercing pain awakened Tayuya once again, and her wailing gradually turned into a state of bewilderment.

"Uchiha Sora, what did you do to me? Why are my memories fading so quickly? I am Tayuya, Tayuya..." Tayuya screamed frantically, as if trying to remember the name forever, but all her efforts were in vain, and her memories continued to fade away little by little.

"Tayuya, have you ever experienced true happiness in your more than ten years of life? What a despairing and cruel world this is."

Forgetting and death are your best destinations. Everything I have done is to redeem you. The Pure Land is your eternal home.

There was no strife, no pain, and no more scheming against others.

Tayuya looked completely bewildered, as if she had long forgotten the pain, and just stared blankly at the sky.

[Uchiha Sora is undergoing a transformation from a slacker to a spiritual mentor, but Orochimaru's words are heartfelt, while Uchiha Sora is simply trying to show off in front of the dead and the narrator.]

Kong shook his head and said, "Narrator, you're wrong. This is a cruel and despairing world. I hope that those who have suffered and left can find some solace."

The world has treated them so cruelly; before I die, I hope they can feel a sliver of warmth, even if it's just me killing them.

There's a saying that goes, "You want to be a prostitute but also want to have your cake and eat it too."

[Uchiha Sora said that Kidomaru's reasons for being a coward were high-sounding, but in fact, Uchiha Sora's reasons were the truly high-sounding ones.]

To kill someone and then expect them to be grateful to you before they die is to destroy their spirit.

"Narrator, you're just a mindless program; you don't know anything about mind control."

[Uchiha Sora has started to act unreasonably.]

"How can an absolutely rational system understand emotions? The more ruthless and heartless a person is, the more emotional they are. They just hide their emotions. I am just helping them release their emotions."

[Narrator: ....]

[Uchiha Sora secretly rejoiced, feeling that he had finally won the argument against the narrator.]

[The Uchiha are overthinking it. The narrator notes that everyone within the area of ​​effect has a clone beside them, and even every intelligent being.]

[It's just that some minor characters, in minor situations, rarely receive a response from the narrator.]

Tayuya was completely dead. Although he had become skin and bones, Uchiha Sora saw a sense of relief on his face.

“Tayuya’s soul has been redeemed; she left this world with a sense of relief and a smile,” Sora said.

Uchiha Sora is talking nonsense; the brain deformation is clearly caused by his extreme weight loss.

Tayuya's experience was no different from Jirobo's, and she even paid more and went through more difficult times because she was a woman. To rise in a dog-eat-dog village like Otogakure, she needed to work much harder.

After Tayuya's body was destroyed, all the surrounding smoke dissipated.

"Shh."

Kong quickly twisted and moved, and a sharp arrow made of sticky gold grazed her body and smashed the tree behind her into pieces.

A bloodstain appeared on his shoulder, and the sleeve of his clothes was torn to shreds.

Sora smiled. Kidomaru had come back halfway, which had indeed surprised him.

He leaped onto a tall tree and moved swiftly through the forest, closing the distance with Kidomaru.

Hand seals:

"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique"

The fireballs blanketed the forest, and all the spider webs that Kidomaru had laid in the forest were burned to ashes.

Previously, his strength was weak, and even when he activated the Uchiha Maniac Laughter, he still needed to be cautious when facing the Sound Four.

Now that he has absorbed three, and with the burst of Uchiha Maniac's laughter, as long as he doesn't do anything reckless, Kidomaru will be his for the taking.

"Kidomaru, Tayuya, and the other two have all gone to the Pure Land. You should go and join them."

Offer yourselves up to become stepping stones for me to reach the pinnacle of the ninja world. Though you are dead, you will live on forever in my heart.

Every year at this time, I burn paper money for you and offer sacrifices in your memory.

Uchiha Sora thought Kidomaru was an idiot, but he was actually the smartest of the Sound Four.

[Sora thinks the narrator is the real idiot. He knows Kidomaru better than the narrator, so how could he not know that what he just said was nothing more than a psychological tactic?]

Although the narrator is omniscient, when it comes to strategy, Kong thinks he can outwit the narrator by a mile.

After activating their Cursed Seal state 2, the Sound Four's strength should be between elite Chunin and Special Jonin.

Generally speaking, the four members of the Orochimaru group could only be considered ordinary Chunin before activating their cursed seals. However, by following Orochimaru, they learned a variety of skills and were familiar with various barrier sealing techniques.

This is something that ordinary ninjas do not possess.

However, in the Naruto world, a ninja's level is sometimes not proportional to their strength.

Like a ghost, the figure wandered through the forest. Kidomaru stared intently but could not pinpoint the location of the empty space.

Puff puff.

Spiderwebs once again covered the forest ahead, while the body quickly retreated, leaping through the forest.

"Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique".

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique".

The spiderwebs that had just been laid along the way were burned to ashes in the blink of an eye.

Without slowing down, he swung his arm, and four shurikens swept out in an arc.

"Kidomaru, the world is too painful. Let me end your suffering and free you from this sea of ​​misery."

Kidomaru instantly turned around, drew his bow, and aimed at Uchiha Sora. "Whoosh!" The golden arrow arrived in front of Uchiha Sora in the blink of an eye.

The high speed and spiral of the arrowhead give the bow and arrow great penetrating power.

The trees blocking his path were instantly pierced through. Kong quickly crouched down, his powerful dynamic abilities allowing him to clearly see the trajectory of the arrow.

A thin, long thread connected to Kidomaru's mouth to control the direction of the arrow.

He gathered his strength and leaped up, taking several steps on the tree, forcefully changing direction and quickly traversing the forest to close the distance with Kidomaru.

With a sudden thought, a pile of dog poop appeared at the feet of Kidomaru.

"Splat".

Kidomaru quickly flicked out a silk thread to steady himself, and when he looked up, Uchiha Sora was already in front of him.

With a swift and powerful whip kick, he sent the opponent flying. With a quick step, he approached Kidomaru like an eagle hunting its prey and kicked him away again.

Fresh blood gushed from his mouth as if it were free. Sora grabbed Kidomaru's arm and quickly wrapped it with a jutsu, drawing out chakra like a flowing stream.

Among the Sound Four, Tayuya and Kidomaru are the least skilled in close combat, relying on their abilities for ranged attacks.

Once their abilities are deciphered, these two are just ordinary Chunin.

"Uchiha Sora, Lord Orochimaru will not let you get away with this."

"Heh, do you think Orochimaru cares about your lives? The four of you are nothing more than tools that can be cultivated."

When a tool breaks down, you just need to replace it.

Kidomaru knew Uchiha Sora was right, but he still refused to admit it. Kidomaru was a smart man and was never content to be just a tool. Unfortunately, his ambitions died before they could be realized.

"You should have expected this day when you joined Orochimaru. I hope you'll be reborn into a better family in your next life."

"Hahaha, do you think everyone is like you, born into a wealthy family like the Uchiha clan? If it weren't for Lord Orochimaru, we would have starved to death on the streets long ago."

"I will die without regret for Lord Orochimaru."

Uchiha Sora had nothing to say, because he knew that saying more would be pointless.

Kong shook his head and said, "Let us become one. You will live forever in my heart."
