Naruto: I am Ninja World Ghost Story, who are you?

He raised his head and looked at the ceiling of the space, with the ten-tailed pipes behind him inserted into Nagato's body.

After a moment, he said, "Then go ahead."

"Yes." Konan nodded heavily. Before leaving, she solemnly said to Nagato, "Take good care of yourself."

“…” Nagato remained silent until Konan left, then he whispered, “I know.”

After leaving, Xiao Nan thought for a moment and wrote a letter to Bu Fan. They had been correspondents for several months now.

She laughed halfway through writing and tore up the contents.

The letter was rolled up in a ball and left near the trash can. The contents written on it were probably a suicide note or farewell.

But after thinking about it, she wasn't anyone special, just a fellow believer.

Nagato was merely using her to stabilize the other side, attempting to create peace in the Land of Rain, thereby buying time to collect the tailed beasts and complete the Ten-Tails as soon as possible.

She rewrote it, and the letter became:

Everything is fine here. I hope you will become an excellent ninja soon.

—From Xiaonan

......

Iwagakure Village.

late at night.

A house was lit up, and through the shadows cast by the light, the deep voice of an old man could be heard.

"Heitu! Grandpa actually doesn't want you to go."

“If you refuse now, Grandpa will remove that list.”

Inside the house, Heitu chuckled softly, "Grandpa, I won't admit defeat."

"Even if the ninja world is destroyed, I will give my power before it is destroyed."

"Hmph!" Onoki's face was full of anger: "If it weren't for that bastard Hiruzen Sarutobi, how could the Uchiha clan have been wiped out! How could such a 'monster' have appeared in the Uchiha clan! How could the ninja world have been destroyed!"

Upon hearing this, Heitu's expression changed, and his handsome brows furrowed tightly: "Grandpa, if you're going to insult the person I like, then we have nothing more to talk about."

"What!" Onoki didn't expect Kurotsuchi to be serious. "Kurotsuchi! You don't actually like that brat, do you?!"

"Otherwise what?" Kurotsuchi smiled, as if she could see the extraordinary figure of Uchiha: "Handsome appearance, domineering personality, powerful strength, the embodiment of justice, and the care and respect that girls should have."

Isn't this a very good candidate?

"asshole!"

"That Uchiha brat is not human! You will not have a good ending!" Onoki only intended to have his granddaughter befriend the other party to avoid the destruction of the village in the Fourth Shinobi World War, not to actually send his granddaughter away.

"Grandpa, I've grown up now."

"Marriage is not your decision."

As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of deep red Sharingan eyes flashed in the room, meeting Onoki's gaze.

"You!" When Onoki saw those terrifying eyes, it was as if he had been transported back to the past, to the time when he met Uchiha Madara.

After staring at each other for a long time, Onoki sighed: "Do as you please."

"Never mind in the future."

Onoki looked towards the corridor.

The shadowy figure of Akado, who was eavesdropping, was reflected in the shoji door outside.

This made Onoki's lips twitch.

“You’ve grown up, Grandpa can’t control you anymore.”

"But I hope you remember that."

"You are from Iwagakure."

"Don't let having a boyfriend... harm the interests of Iwagakure."

"decide as things go."

"You!" Onoki felt a tightness in his chest, as if he was about to spit out a mouthful of blood.

In Iwagakure, no one dared to defy him like this except for his precious granddaughter.

......

Yunyin Village.

A training ground in the canyon.

Samui, who had been training for a long time, looked up at the sky.

Tapping.

Samui activated his Observation Haki slightly and instantly knew who the newcomer was.

"Omoi, Karui, why did you suddenly leave the village?"

Omoi, with short white hair, brown skin, wearing a Cloud Village headband, carrying a long sword on his back, and a lollipop in his mouth, stood with his hands in his pockets and said, "I heard you're going to Konoha to take the Jonin Exams."

"Who knows, this might be our last chance to meet."

boom!

"Baka yarou! What nonsense are you talking about! Samui will definitely clear the game!" Karui, with red hair and the same attire as Omoi and brown skin, punched Omoi on the head, and the fist and the red bump on Omoi's head started to smoke slightly.

"Damn it! It hurts so much!"

"Humph!"

"You two," Samui smiled calmly, then looked up at the stars in the sky and said to the two of them, "If I die, then you must inherit my will and save this ninja world."

"..." Karui and Omoi both fell silent.

After a moment, Omoi spoke up: "If it weren't for that Uchiha ninja, the ninja world wouldn't have become like this."

Karui then responded with a smirk, "Exactly."

Samui shook his head slightly and turned to look at the two of them:

"Was all of this really just because of him?"

"That's just our opinion."

"Even without extraordinary abilities, wouldn't the ninja world still face other crises and disasters?"

"We are just constantly making excuses for our weakness."

"But..." Karui hesitated for a moment, then sighed, "Samui, have you really fallen for that brat?"

"Don't call him that."

"A remarkable personality is truly admirable."

"It's just that you don't understand him."

Samui shook his head and said this. Karui and Omoi exchanged a glance, shrugged, and looked somewhat helpless.

'Women in love are terrifying.'

......

The land of the Thousand Hands Clan.

Inside the mansion, Tsunade, dressed in a kimono, walked along the wooden corridor, bathed in moonlight.

"Sister, you're still awake."

Hearing the voice, Tsunade was somewhat surprised. Turning around, she saw Nawaki walking over from the corridor not far away, wearing pajamas.

"What time is it? Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"Can't sleep."

"I'm worried my sister will die."

Although Rope Tree's voice was steady, tears involuntarily welled up from the corners of his eyes.

Tsunade patted her younger brother's head and comforted him, "How could your sister die? Bufan will protect her."

Nawaki slapped Tsunade's hand away from her head, her voice trembling with tears, "But...but didn't my sister not intend to tell Bufan?!"

Tsunade: ......

She was silent.

Seeing this, Rope Tree continued, "Besides, even if Bufan knew, he couldn't control the 'game instance.' If Bufan can't enter, what if my sister encounters any danger..."

"Shh." Tsunade gestured for silence: "My sister won't die, at least not now."

"elder sister."

"Can't you listen to your brother just this once?!"

"Napaki, please!"

He really didn't want to see his sister die in front of him.

Tsunade shook her head: "I'm sorry, Nawaki. This is my sister's decision. Trust your brother-in-law; even if my sister dies, he will bring her back to life!"

"What if he forgets about you!"

Rope Tree's voice echoed down the corridor. If Bu Fan hadn't been sleeping away from the Senju clan's territory tonight, he probably would have come out to see what was going on.

The air was silent for a long time before Tsunade's voice finally rang out.

"Perhaps, this is my sister's fate."

"My sister is not anyone's possession."

"Some things just have to be done by someone."

"Isn't it?"

Rope Tree looked completely bewildered, for these words were the very boast he had once made.

Nawaki was still in a daze when Tsunade returned to her room.

......

Uchiha clan.

It was unusual for Yekura not to be at home; instead, she was wandering around outside.

The Uchiha clan compound was quiet late at night, with hardly anyone around. Occasionally, a few members of the Uchiha police patrol would patrol the streets and greet her in a friendly manner.

She passed by the Uchiha training ground and heard the commotion coming from there. She couldn't resist going over anyway.

"Izumi! The Jonin Exams are in a few days, I'm sure we Dark Night will pass them!"

"Of course! After we clear the game, we'll have a 100% chance of winning. We'll go find that man... and then, kill him!"

laugh!

The two women, who had been facing off with short swords, separated and stood on the flat lawn.

At the same time, Quan and Ling exchanged a smile and glanced at each other, their eyes both glancing at a large tree in the training ground.

"Stop hiding."

"You must be Ms. Yekura."

After Quan's voice rang out, Ling also spoke up: "This aura is very similar."

Ye Cang looked somewhat helpless: "I really can't do anything with you guys."

"it's me."

"Still training so late?"

Uchiha Izumi nodded slightly, then frowned slightly, thinking to herself:

'How exactly did Yekura train...? Why does she seem so much stronger than before...? I didn't even see her training...'

Uchiha Rei had the same idea, but the two women were very tacit and did not ask about each other's secrets, but instead had a simple chat.

This was their first formal conversation.
