Inside the palace.
A tall figure appeared out of nowhere. It was Yuusuke Fuji, who disappeared from Wood Leaf Village.
He gently stood outside the ripple with a smile on his face. Through the ripple, he gently looked at Miyuko with his deep eyes.
Inside the ripple, Miyuko's body trembled violently. She tried to hold back the tears in her eyes and said in a trembling voice.
"Yo … you … jie … long … time … no … see … you …"
Hearing Miyuko's words, Onigami was shocked and said in his heart.
This … this is Yuusuke Fuji … his strength … he can reach here without anyone noticing!!
Yuusuke Fuji said softly with a smile on his face.
"Sorry, I waited so long to see you."
Hearing Yuusuke Fuji's words, Miyuko, who was inside the ripple, was stunned, and then all the grievances and complaints in her heart disappeared.
Tears poured out like a flood from a dam, but she still had a smile on her face as she sobbed.
"It's … it's okay … you … can … come … is already very good …"
She quickly got up and hurriedly pulled the ripple away. Her eyes were red like a little white rabbit, obsessively looking at the figure that she thought about day and night.
"You … you've changed … Yuusuke Fuji …"
Miyuko looked at Yuusuke Fuji in front of her with blurred eyes and whispered softly.
Hearing her words, Yuusuke Fuji, who was wearing a layer of white Haori, and his hair was combed back, looking a little arrogant, slightly raised the corner of his mouth and said gently.
"Everyone will change, I am no exception."
"Moreover, this is the real me. In order to pursue the persistence in my heart, I abandoned all the shackles of the past."
Hearing his words, although Miyuko's cheeks were full of tears, the corner of her mouth was full of joy.
She stared at Yuusuke Fuji's face, as if she was no longer willing to hide her inner thoughts, and said softly.
"No matter what, I've always loved you … from the very beginning … until now …"
In response, Yuusuke Fuji did not answer her. Instead, he smiled and slowly walked up to her. He extended his white finger and gently tapped her forehead.
This sudden movement made Miyuko slightly stunned, and her expression became sluggish.
Then, she heard a magnetic voice.
"Time is an insurmountable gap for humans. It even pushes people towards the end of death."
"In this process, lust, love, and hate make up the ups and downs. However, if we can cross this gap one day, we will be greeted with a brand new tomorrow."
"I hope that you can also cross this gap and break free from the shackles of time. At that time, you can give me your answer."
Although Yuzi's understanding of these words was somewhat muddled, he still nodded his head like a chick pecking rice.
She only knew one thing. At least from now on, Yuusuke Fuji would no longer ignore her.
This, to her, was more precious than anything else.
At this time, Yuusuke Fuji glanced at the Yuki in the palace and said softly.
"Is this your subordinate?"
Hearing Yuusuke Fuji's question, Miyuko realized that the Yuki had not left yet.
After all, since Yuusuke Fuji appeared, he was the only one in her eyes, and it was difficult for her to accommodate a second person.
"Yes, during this time, the Yuki has helped me a lot."
Miyuko Shiraji replied softly.
In response, Yuusuke Fuji smiled slightly and said softly.
"A very loyal subordinate."
After that, he slowly turned sideways and stepped in front of the Yuki.
Feeling Yuusuke Fuji's approach, the Yuki's face under the mask tightened. He could feel the huge pressure.
At this time, his back was already soaked in sweat, because he felt the faint terrifying aura around Yuusuke Fuji.
Since Yuusuke Fuji left Wood Leaf, he had completely abandoned his previous disguise, as if he had taken off a layer of long-term restraint, and his aura was no longer suppressed.
Like a blade that had abandoned its scabbard, the sharp aura was full of oppression.
He looked down at the Yuki, who was half-kneeling on the ground, and said softly with a smile.
"What's your name?"
Hearing Yuusuke Fuji's question, the Yuki replied in a deep voice.
"Yuki."
"Oh, then, as a subordinate, to what extent are you willing to do for Yuki?"
Yuusuke Fuji's eyes flickered, and said softly.
The Yuki in the mask said in a deep voice.
"For Miss Yuki, even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will not hesitate!"
Hearing this, Yuusuke Fuji's eyes flashed, and said softly.
"Is that so … What a loyal subordinate, then I have an opportunity … to make you strong enough."
"Under this challenge, survive, and you will gain strength far beyond the past."
"Death, and you will have nothing."
"Oh, by the way, let me make it clear in advance, the probability of survival may be less than 1%."
"Then … Are you willing to accept this gift for Yuki?"
Hearing Yuusuke Fuji's words, the Yuki was silent for a while, and then he looked at Miyuko.
Seeing his gaze on her, Yuki was slightly taken aback, and said softly.
"Just follow your own choice, Yuki. However, Yuusuke Fuji will not lie."
Hearing Yuki's response, the Yuki looked at Yuusuke Fuji and nodded in a deep voice.
"I agree!"
Hearing this answer, Yuusuke Fuji's mouth curved into a smile, and said softly.
"Well then, cherish the time you have left and prepare to receive the great gift that grace has bestowed upon you."
The Yuki nodded and was about to get up and leave, but the moment before leaving, he turned around, looked at Yuusuke Fuji, and said in a deep voice.
"For so many years, Miss Yuki has been thinking about you."
"I want to know if you have the ability to be valued by Miss Yuki. I also want to know, after accepting the gift you said, if I die, can you protect Miss Yuki!?"
Hearing his words, Yuki frowned, and wanted to reprimand him, but she didn't know how to say it, so she just shouted coldly.
"Yuki!"
When Yuusuke Fuji heard this, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, and said softly.
"Oh, then, rest assured, if you can succeed, I think Yuki will also benefit a lot from you."
"As for your so-called worry."
As Yuusuke Fuji's voice fell.
"Buzz …"
All of a sudden, the entire space seemed to tremble slightly.
"Boom!"
The Yuki's knees softened, and he almost knelt on the ground. He clenched his teeth and barely stood stiffly.
Under his feet, the ground instantly sank deep, and his feet almost stepped into the floor.
But Yuusuke Fuji had a smile on his face, as if he didn't do anything.
Yuki looked at this scene in confusion, and the Yuki was secretly shocked, and said with a trembling voice.
"Un … understood …"
When his voice fell, the terrible pressure suddenly disappeared from his body, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief.
He couldn't suppress the surprise in his heart, what kind of power is this!?
Is this guy in front of him really a rebellious ninja!?
Why … he obviously has such power … why did he choose to go against the ninja village?
No one could answer his question, only a sentence with a slight smile came.
"I hope you can pass that test, and if you can, you will also have this power."
Hearing this, the Yuki slowly left the hall with deep thoughts.
