Starting from Naruto: The Invincible Road of the Slacking Girl

late at night.

Yu Xi pushed open the gate of the mansion, her footsteps echoing in the silent corridor.

She walked through the long corridor and came to the courtyard.

Kaguya stood alone in the center of the courtyard, gazing up at the moon in the night sky.

Her figure appeared exceptionally lonely in the moonlight.

Yu Xi walked to Kaguya's side.

Kaguya did not turn around, but continued to gaze at the moon.

Yu Xi noticed that Kaguya's expression was different from usual; there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"Kaguya-neechan, why aren't you resting so late?" Yu Xi asked softly.

Kaguya slowly turned her head, her gaze falling on Yu Xi's face.

Her eyes held a complex expression, as if she were deep in thought.

A moment later, she floated toward Yu Xi and suddenly opened her arms to hug her.

"Yu Xi, you're leaving this world, aren't you?" Kaguya's voice was soft, but it struck Yu Xi's heart like a heavy hammer.

Yu Xi's body stiffened for a moment.

The system did tell her that after completing the progress in this world, she would travel to other worlds.

“I can feel it,” Kaguya continued. “This world is too weak for you. When you took me on trips to many parallel worlds, I was in a lot of pain there.”

Yu Xi remained silent.

"What... do you plan to do in the future?" Yu Xi finally asked.

Kaguya released her embrace, took a step back, and looked into Yu Xi's eyes. "Although I hate being alone, I will protect this world for you. This world has changed because of you. Without you, I wouldn't be who I am today. I am very grateful to you."

Under the moonlight, Kaguya's expression was firm and calm.

Yu Xi knew she was telling the truth.

During this time, Kaguya read a large number of books and came to understand human emotions and the laws governing social operation.

She was no longer the Kaguya Otsutsuki blinded by hatred.

"Four days from now, I will announce that you will succeed me in unifying the ninja world," Yu Xi said. "Before that, I will take care of everything. Anyone who is dissatisfied will be considered as dissent against me. I will definitely come back to see you when I have time."

Kaguya nodded.

She knew that Yu Xi's decision was irreversible and understood that it was the best arrangement.

She believed she was capable enough to maintain the order established by Yu Xi.

"Let's rest first." Yu Xi suddenly bent down and picked up Princess Kaguya.

Kaguya did not resist, but simply looked at her tenderly.

Yu Xi carried Hui Ye towards the bedroom.

Kaguya was very light, and the moonlight shone through the window, casting two shadows on the floor.

"Kaguya-neechan, will you miss me?" Yu Xi suddenly asked.

"Yes." Kaguya's answer was brief and affirmative.

Yu Xi smiled.

She gently placed Kaguya on the bed and then lay down herself.

The two lay side by side, staring at the ceiling.

"Take good care of yourself after I leave," Yu Xi said. "Don't always read until late at night. I will have Orochimaru assist you in handling government affairs, but the final decision is in your hands."

“I know.” Kaguya turned to face Yu Xi. “You don’t need to worry about me.”

Yu Xi turned around, and the two looked at each other.

She reached out and stroked Kaguya's cheek, feeling its cool touch.

"Goodnight, Kaguya-neechan!" Yu Xi whispered.

Kaguya closed her eyes.

Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, Yu Xi felt a mix of emotions welling up inside her.

She spent a long time in this world and changed the fate of many people.

Now, she is about to leave for a new world.

The moonlight gradually slanted westward.

As Yu Xi listened to Kaguya's even breathing, her thoughts drifted into the distance.

She recalled the scene when she first came into this world, the process of changing Konoha and unifying the ninja world, and the moment she met Kaguya.

"Time flies..." Yu Xi couldn't help but sigh softly, her fingertips gently tracing the delicate outline of Kaguya's sleeping face.

[Ding! Host has completed 95% of the Naruto world progress] The system's little sister's clear voice suddenly rang in Yu Xi's mind, startling her fingers.

"System sister? What's up so late?" Yu Xi asked in her mind.

[Anomaly in spacetime fluctuation detected] The system's voice suddenly turned serious.

[Due to the host's interference in this world, a parallel universe similar to this universe has been created, codenamed X4.]

"Universe X4?" Yu Xi frowned. "What's going on there?"

The system did not respond immediately, but instead projected a holographic image directly onto Yu Xi's optic nerve.

In an instant, Yu Xi's vision was engulfed in a sea of ​​blood—

A sea of ​​corpses and blood.

The corpses of countless ninjas piled up like mountains, and their blood flowed like rivers, staining the entire land red.

At the very top of the mountain of corpses stood a familiar figure—it was herself, yet not herself.

That "Yu Xi" exuded a blood-red aura.

A maniacal smile played on her lips, and fresh blood dripped from her right hand.

And lying in her arms was...

"Kaguya-neechan?!" Yu Xi almost cried out in surprise, and quickly covered her mouth.

In the video, Kaguya's chest is pierced, and her long silver hair is soaked in blood.

Yet, with her last ounce of strength, she still managed to hold onto that devilish "Yu Xi".

"Wake up... Yu Xi... little sister..." Kaguya in the video whispered weakly, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, tears streaming down her face. "Please... please..."

"Shut up!" the blood-red "Yu Xi" roared, but suddenly froze.

Kaguya used up her last bit of chakra to forcibly transfer her consciousness into "Yu Xi's" body.

In an instant, the crimson aura began to fluctuate violently.

Yu Xi's expression changed from madness to shock, and then to indescribable pain.

"No! Kaguya-neechan! How could this happen?! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! It's all my fault!" She trembled as she hugged Kaguya's gradually cooling body, letting out a heart-wrenching wail as she looked up at the sky.

A torrential downpour began, washing away the blood that covered the ground, but it could not wash away the heinous sins.

Yu Xi knelt in the blood, holding Kaguya's body and weeping bitterly.

"What...is this...?" Yu Xi from this world felt dizzy and her stomach churned.

She never imagined that she would have such a possibility—to slaughter the entire ninja world, or even to kill Kaguya herself.

[X4 Universe, codenamed Despair Universe] The system's little sister's voice carried an unusual heaviness.

[This is a manifestation of the host's inner darkness in a parallel universe. Because this universe is too dark, it has been blocked by the main system.]

"Why does such a universe exist?" Yu Xi asked, trembling in her mind. "Why...why did I become like that?"

"Every choice creates countless parallel universes," the system explained.

In the X4 universe, the host chose a different path—to be consumed by power rather than control it.

Yu Xi felt a chill creep up her spine.

She looked down at Kaguya, who was fast asleep, and couldn't help but reach out to check her breathing and heartbeat.

Kaguya's warm breath brushed against her fingers, which made her feel a little more at ease.
