I just returned to Konoha and found that my entire clan was gone.

Although there are still some shortcomings and cat-like characteristics, it has already surpassed all members of the Ninja Cat Clan.

"I told you to just call me by my name and stop reading those random books. Also, it's so hot, and you're standing too close to me!"

Ye Lan pushed Naraku away with a helpless expression. Although Naraku was there, he felt it was better to be alone.

"I see a lot of people like being called that, don't you like it?"

Naraku came closer again, lying on Ye Lan's chest, his tail wagging incessantly.

Just as Ye Lan was about to push Naraku away again, a portal suddenly appeared in the surrounding air. Ye Lan was not surprised; he knew this was Sasuke's ability.

"Sasuke, didn't I tell you not to come looking for me unless it's absolutely necessary? Let Nagato handle the affairs of the Land of Rain..."

Sasuke glanced at Ye Lan, who looked lazy, and showed a displeased expression.

“I didn’t want to either, but these two guys insisted on coming to you.”

"Haha, Ye Lan, long time no see!"

"You shameless old woman, why did you insist on coming along!"

Two familiar voices rang out, and Ye Lan had a bad feeling. Sure enough, when he turned around, Hong Dou and Jing Ye walked out of the portal at the same time.

When Hongdou and Jingye saw Naraku in Yelan's arms, they were suddenly stunned. They never expected that there was such a "person" accompanying Yelan.

Naraku, upon seeing the two, showed no weakness and immediately embraced Ye Lan with his entire body.

Red Bean clenched her fist. "You bastard, I waited for you for so long..."

Ino feigned sadness, "Brother Yelan, so this is the kind of person you are?"

"No? Let me explain!"

Seeing the impending battle behind him, Sasuke shook his head and sighed.

"It's all for the Uchiha clan."

(End of the book)

Chapter 0 Conclusion

First of all, thank you to all the readers who have made it this far. With the arrival of the New Year, this book has come to a complete end.

To be honest, this book ended rather abruptly, and I feel bad for everyone.

But thinking about it, there's not much more to write. The ending was something I had already planned, so it's a happy ending.

I've seen some readers comment that I wrote too quickly towards the end, practically just putting the outline in. I can only say you're giving me far too much credit. This book didn't have an outline from the very first word I wrote.

I only have a rough outline of the story in my mind; the rest of the details are all written down as I think about them. I've been pushing myself to this point with just this one breath.

Therefore, I didn't grasp the rhythm very well, perhaps because this was my first time officially writing a book, and I still had too little experience.

But in any case, Ye Lan's story has come to an end, and I don't plan to write it anymore.

Let's talk about this book. When creating the character Ye Lan, I actually wanted to refer to the male protagonist of Kamen Rider Kabuto, Tendou Souji.

Although this work has many problems later on, I really like Tendou Souji's personality, so I have always tried to make Yelan's personality similar to Tendou's, including his hairstyle when he first appeared.

I really dislike the "pretending to be weak to take advantage of others" plot. I prefer characters who are powerful from the start, but these kinds of characters are actually very difficult to write. If you're not careful, they'll be ruined.

Because I couldn't describe much growth, and how to write about how everyone was instantly defeated, I actually encountered similar problems later on, but I couldn't undo them even if I wanted to.

Let me explain why I wrote about Naruto.

Of the three long-running anime series I've watched, Naruto left me with the most frustration. In my opinion, Sasuke was forcibly changed by Naruto; he lived his entire life for others, never having any choices of his own. Whether it was his initial pursuit of revenge or his later reconciliation with Naruto, I felt that in the end, he was no longer Sasuke. That's why I wrote about Naruto—to make up for the regrets in my heart.

P.S.: The other two long-running anime series are Dragon Ball Z and Yu-Gi-Oh! I don't need to say more about who the main characters are, right?

Although this book has many flaws, what I'm most satisfied with is the handling of Ye Lan's transformation. At first, he just wanted to uncover the truth behind the extinction of his clan, but after joining Akatsuki, he saw the distortion of the ninja world and decided to change it.

Ye Lan didn't have this idea at first. It was due to certain reasons that he had to go against Konoha. While he was influencing Nagato, Nagato was also influencing him.

That's why, at the first Five Kage Summit, he said, "Since this world can't give us justice, then I will give them justice."

Although it's a bit cringey, I'm actually quite satisfied with it. Of course, the main reason is for you, my readers. If you feel even a little bit of resonance while reading my book, it's an affirmation for me.

As for the topic of my next book, I've already thought of it, but I haven't had time to write the outline yet.

Once I'm done with my work after the Lunar New Year, I'll probably release the new book around February 20th.

Because Gundam and Kamen Rider have had a significant influence on me in Japanese anime, I will write an urban science fiction book next.

But I can assure you that this is definitely a thrilling, invincible story. If any readers are interested, please come and support me. Finally, although it's a bit late, I still wish everyone a Happy New Year.
