"Kakashi!"

The black-haired boy yelled his friend's name and rushed forward, and unsurprisingly the boulder fell on him.

The white-haired young man in front of him fell to the ground in shock.

"Obito...?"

There was a knife wound on his eye that had been cut not long ago.

The eyeball under the wound was twitching, and there was severe pain from the wound that had not yet fully healed.

What is regret?

Kakashi didn't know.

But when he knew that he would lose this eye forever, his regret was far less than it is now.

"Obito..."

Lin covered her mouth, her voice trembling. She didn't know what was going on.

Everything is far beyond its judgment.

Obito is going to die.

I have never heard of anyone being able to survive with half of his body crushed by a huge rock.

It’s actually not a big problem if others haven’t heard of it.

But she is a medical ninja.

According to the medical ninja's memory, Obito is one of the people who has no chance of survival.

The girl's body fell to the ground as if she had lost support.

But what Kakashi and Obito were thinking was completely different.

Obito: I am not destined to die.

Kakashi had a wish that was fulfilled - does it mean that my being alive is not Kakashi's wish?

Anyone with eyesight can see it.

Obito only has one eye left exposed, and now he is a battle-damaged version of the One-Eyed Dragon.

There's nothing funny about this, and it's even a little pathetic.

Maybe Kakashi can only have one wish granted?

Those remaining eyes were filled with Kakashi's despair and confusion.

This is your first mission as a jonin!

Cassie is such an idiot. Who is she showing this look of a lost dog to?

Oh! Sorry, I showed it to him. What a sin.

"Come to think of it, I haven't congratulated you on your successful promotion to jonin."

I don't know what's going on in Obito's mind.

It's a good thing. It's a good thing.

This was Kakashi's intuition.

He still couldn't quite recover - although it was common for ninjas to die in battle, this was the first time that one died for himself.

“Although no one remembers.”

“But I still have the memory.”

"Just like you."

It was clearly yesterday when he was fishing alone by the river and this idiot came over with concern.

There's obviously nothing to worry about.

"Although a ninja who fails to complete his mission is not a good ninja..."

"But those who watch their companions die without helping them are not even human beings!"

Obito's eyes were always so determined.

He could always see through his hesitation and indecision at a glance.

What is a ninja?

What is the essence of a ninja?

It turns out that before becoming a ninja, one must first become a human.

The confusion and helplessness were slowly blown away, and the boy found his direction again.

Keeping one's word is Obito's creed - and what he said to himself yesterday, wasn't it Obito's own ninja way?

In the shadow, Neji was about to cast a seal to move the boulder before it fell, but the alarm of 002 sounded in his ears.

"Illegal operation! Illegal operation!"

...

"002, what do you mean?"

"Warning, host, please do not interfere unnecessarily."

"It will exceed the system's tolerance. Please do not struggle fearlessly."

002's voice was intermittent.

Isn't it Kakashi's obsession that Obito got hurt?

Aren’t those eyes the regret that Kakashi teacher feels?

Neji was here, with everything planned out.

However, before the plan officially began, it was stopped by the system.

"The emotional swings of the target mission are not up to par yet."

"Host, please choose another task to complete."

"This event is not included in the system task list!"

Just a few minutes ago, when Neji was about to transfer the boulder, he was forcibly teleported by the system.

The Land of Wind, the Sand Village. It is a barren place where nothing can survive except humans, and no one lives.

The little panda holding the stuffed animal stood in the same place as last time.

Red hair and blue eyes, that's Gaara.

He looked a little older, and there was no more fragility on his face.

He seemed to be waiting for something, his emerald green eyes full of struggle.

Will it appear? It won't appear...

When will we meet next time?

Time travel is different from when something goes wrong with Flying Thunder God.

This is the result of the system's operation under subjective selection.

It completely relies on the system and Neji's chakra as the main driving force.

"How are you?"

The struggle in Gaara's eyes was replaced by starlight.

I must ask that question this time!

But now doesn't seem to be the time to ask questions...

The red panda was hesitating when a man's voice came from behind him.

"Gaara..."

It's Yashamaru.

Shukaku's chakra is becoming more and more unstable.

Yashamaru followed Gaara almost closely.

This is the last flesh and blood of my sister left in the world.

They are also your relatives.

But for the Kingdom of Wind, family ties are never absolute - this should also be the case for other countries.

"Let's go back..."

He called out to Gaara, still out of breath from running.

Neji was now completely uncovered, and his Byakugan eyes were revealed to the two of them.

Gaara still remembered that this man was not in such a mess when they last met.

Something bad must have happened to cause him to be like this.

Lying on the ground like a rag.

In fact, Neji was fully prepared before setting up an ambush around Kakashi.

What if you are discovered? You won’t be discovered at all.

Sensei Kakashi is still the same Sensei Kakashi from his childhood, and he is no longer the same Neji Hyuga who died in the fatal battle.

The shortcomings of chakra control were forcibly made up for in each restart, and his reflexes and situational awareness had to reach a level that he had never dared to imagine before.

It is said that desperate situations make people progress - but every step is desperate and really exhausting.

Neji didn't think that his desire to become stronger was enough to allow him to accept his current "desperate situation".

Everything is just a hold-up - once the pillars break, this shaky building will collapse overnight.

But now, there is only one way forward.

There is one thing that Neji really can't understand.

The first time jump was at Tobirama's place.

His chakra was already in jeopardy before the jump, so it was completely understandable that he was half-dead when he appeared in front of Tobirama.

What about now? Before the jump, I was fully prepared.

Both the chakra and physical condition are close to the best.

But now, my limbs were shaking so much that they didn't even feel like my own.

Even raising it seemed wishful thinking.

He would have been fine, if there had been no system.

"What do you mean by...illegal operation?"

Neji couldn't speak, he could only ask in his mind 002--I just hope Gaara doesn't throw himself with sand.

During the Chunin Exam, Gaara was the most brutal one.

"system error."

? Good job 002.

He had done other things before, and no one had ever stopped him - this could only mean that Obito had to be hit by the boulder.

When the sword of Damocles is not coming to your head, you will always take a bystander attitude.

The same is probably true for the system.

Is Obito's future appearance related to the emergence of the system?

Neji didn't know.

He didn't like making assumptions, but that was the only option now.

Thinking constructions based on piles of assumptions are always awkward - this is not his usual style.

It is obviously an impossible fantasy to piece together the full picture of the matter using the existing intelligence.

"When can I go back?"

Neji could feel the chakra in his body slowly recovering - but the speed was clearly abnormal.

"I'm still on the last mission, right?"

The purpose of the system is to prevent itself from making "illegal operations".

Then the current time should be synchronized with the original timeline - the self in the original timeline disappeared out of thin air.

"002 reminds the host to start moving bricks early so that he can live a good life soon!"

Completely useless answers appeared.

"Who is this?"

Yashamaru moved in front of Neji, his face wary.

How come the ninja from Konoha appeared here?

Stop kidding! You can tell at a glance from this pair of white eyes that he is a member of the Hyuga family!

There must be only one purpose for approaching Gaara!

What else could it be if not a tailed beast!?

Those guys in Konoha are so greedy. They already have the Nine-Tailed Fox, yet they still attack our only One-Tail!

"No, Yashamaru..."

Gaara's small body stood in front of Neji.

He probably guessed what was going on in Yashamaru's mind.

The questions he wanted to ask haven't been asked yet. At least not now, he can't let Yashamaru take him away!

Children always think in a one-threaded way - their father is still alive, and there is nothing their father can't do.

Except for this curse-like power in myself.

He is not very courageous, but he is a Jinchūriki after all. The special power in his body always makes him fearless.

Leaving a stranger behind is not a dangerous thing.

But Yashamaru doesn't think so.

He had been with Gaara for a long time.

At that time, his parents were killed by a monster, and he was filled with resentment - even his sister died because of this monster!

But the Kazekage waved his hand, and the next day, he became the person who protected Gaara.

Jinchūriki and the tailed beasts cannot be lumped together.

That being said, just sensing Shukaku's chakra would ignite Yashamaru's resentment once again.

With a smile on his face, he buried all his grief and anger, and devoted himself to playing the role of a caring older brother.

But when the hatred in his heart loosened, the wind shadow waved his hand again.

"Go kill him."

"Once, the tailed beast will break the seal."

"Just kill Gaara."

"That's good. Everything you did was for the village and for the Kingdom of Wind."

Yashamaru looked at Gaara and watched his child grow up little by little.

He mustered up the courage to make this request.

"Please, Yashamaru..."

"he is my friend."

Friends? Gaara's friends?

Stop kidding, how can a monster like this have friends?

But the young man nodded twice unconsciously.
