From Naruto onwards, I've become a dreamer.

Chapter 29 The Light About to Lose Its Light
Xiao Nan had a very long nightmare.

In her dream, she witnessed the Akatsuki organization, under Yahiko's leadership, expand from just a few members to hundreds.

But as the organization rose to prominence, they also became a thorn in Hanzo's side.

As their ideologies clashed, Akatsuki officially declared war on Hanzo. Initially, under Nagato's power, they achieved successive victories.

At this critical juncture, Yahiko, the leader of Akatsuki, died tragically, and Nagato went berserk. Although he killed Hanzo with some kind of forbidden technique, he also paid a heavy price.

From then on, Nagato's personality changed drastically, and his obsession with madness completely changed the Akatsuki's previous beliefs.

Driven by hatred, Nagato, tempted by a mysterious figure, launched a war against Konoha, ultimately dying at the hands of a blue-eyed, blond-haired boy.

Her ending was equally tragic.

He returned to Amegakure alone to guard the bodies of Yahiko and Nagato, but was killed by a mysterious person and his body sank into the ocean.

The dream was so real that when Xiao Nan woke up, two lines of tears hung on her cold face.

Why would I have such a dream?

Xiao Nan wiped the water off her cheeks, a hint of panic appearing in her usually cool eyes.

"Minami, why are you crying?" At that moment, Yahiko walked in from outside and, seeing the tears on her face, immediately came over anxiously: "Are you alright? Who upset you? Don't cry, Minami!"

They grew up together and studied under Jiraiya, so their bond was incredibly strong.

As the only girl among the three, Xiao Nan was always well taken care of, and no one would dare to let her suffer the slightest grievance.

Seeing Konan crying, Yahiko panicked for a moment: "Tell me, Konan, who upset you? Nagato and I will avenge you!"

“No, no one provoked me, Yahiko.” Konan bit her lip, a hint of worry in her eyes: “Yahiko, if I were to say, if I had a very vivid dream, in which you and Nagato were both dead, and our ideals became weapons in the hands of others, what would you think?”

"Nagato and I are dead?"

Yahiko considered a million possibilities, but he never expected it to be this reason.

"No, Konan." Nagato, with red hair, walked in from outside the door. After hearing Konan's words, she said calmly, "With me here, nothing will happen to you."

"Hahahaha, that's right, Xiao Nan."

Yahiko reached out and ruffled her light purple hair, chuckling, "Have you forgotten that Nagato possesses the bloodline of the Sage of Six Paths, the legendary Rinnegan!"

Nagato slowly raised his head, brushed aside his bangs, and revealed the legendary 'Rinnegan'.

"But..." Xiao Nan frowned slightly, clutching her chest, as if she could still feel the sorrow she had felt in her dream: "That dream was too real."

"That was just a dream, Konan." Nagato's tone was indifferent, not because he didn't care about Konan, but because that was his personality.

“I know it’s a dream, but,” a trace of sorrow lingered in Konan’s eyes, “Yahiko, it’s not too late to give up now!”

In my dreams, the pain of losing loved ones seeps deep into my bones, piercing my very soul.

Compared to Yahiko's grand ideals, her thoughts were simple and insignificant.

I only wish that Yahiko and Nagato would live peacefully and safely, and even if they were mediocre, that they would not lose their lives for that ideal.

Upon hearing this, Yahiko frowned: "Minami, there's no turning back now. Since we've decided to do this, I'll go on no matter what the cost."

Xiao Nan lowered her eyes slightly and looked down with a hint of disappointment.

She knew that Yahiko would not turn back, and even if he knew that the road ahead would lead to death, he would still dedicate himself to his ideals.

The usually taciturn Nagato suddenly spoke, asking, "Konan, do you remember who killed us in your dream?" When asked for details, Konan froze, realizing she couldn't recall any of the dream's details: "I don't remember."

She could feel the pain in her dream and see the final fate of the Akatsuki, but all the details—such as how Yahiko died, what Nagato's forbidden technique was, and who the mysterious person who seduced them—seemed to be blocked out, her memories hazy and unclear.

Nagato slowly squatted down, took Konan's hand, and whispered, "That was just a dream, Konan. It's not reality. Yahiko and I won't die. I promise you."

"That's right, don't worry, Xiao Nan."

Yahiko held the girl's other hand and said cheerfully, "I also promise you that I will never abandon you. Let's change Amegakure together!"

Feeling the warmth of the two people's hands, Xiao Nan's chaotic thoughts and heart seemed to calm down.

"Yes, I believe you."

Xiao Nan seemed to melt away like an iceberg, revealing a warm smile.

"Are you sure you don't need my help? Zongyue."

Inside the room, Hikaru sat obediently cross-legged on the tatami mat, tilting her head cutely: "If it were me, I could easily control those three."

Uchiha Muneki ruffled her hair, leaned against the wall with his clothes hanging loosely, revealing half of his firm chest muscles, and rested one hand on his chin, chuckling lightly, "No need, Hikaru, I appreciate your kindness, but those three people are not worthy yet, let's wait a little longer."

Hikaru nuzzled his palm affectionately, like a docile kitten: "You can use my power however you like, so please don't dislike me, Munezuki."

"Don't say such things, Light."

Uchiha Munetsuki reached out and lifted Hikari's chin, gazing at the girl's delicate face, and smiled gently: "I hope you will always follow in my footsteps, not just as a 'tool,' but as my companion, understand?"

"Yes, I've got it, Zongyue."

Her sweet smile warmed my heart and made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

"Hikaru, how badly have your eyes deteriorated?" Uchiha Munetsuki asked, staring intently at the girl.

The Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, while possessing immense power, comes with enormous risks.

Its drawback is that the more powerful the pupil technique, the more damage it will cause to the caster's eyesight and body.

Excessive use can eventually lead to complete blindness in the user, and in more severe cases, it can even cause a decline in bodily functions, ultimately leaving the user reliant on medication like a weasel.

In the original story, after Sasuke Uchiha awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan, he only used it a few times before his eyesight deteriorated rapidly.

So, to what extent has Uchiha Hikaru, who possesses the terrifying eye technique of "Eight Thousand Spears," reached?
Since the Warring States period, he has been forced by the Uchiha clan to use his eye techniques multiple times, so his eyesight is definitely not very good now.

This is also the problem that is troubling him.

The light, caught in those eyes, felt inexplicably flustered. As if afraid of being abandoned, she clung to the boy and hugged him tightly, her voice soft and low, trembling slightly: "I...I'm fine. I can still use my eye technique many more times, so...don't worry about me, Zongyue."

"Light, look into my eyes."

Uchiha Sogetsu's gaze narrowed slightly, carrying a hint of pressure: "I don't like deception, so tell me the truth, to what extent are your eyes?"

"I'm sorry, Zongyue. I was wrong."

Guang, like a child who had made a mistake, lowered her head deeply and bit her pink lips: "I can probably use it three or four more times."

As usual, I'm asking for recommendations for collecting and investing in this product/service.
