After Shen Er walked out of the house, he discovered that Winky, who was still there, was nowhere to be found.

Not paying attention to this kind of thing, when he heard the stumbling footsteps behind him, Shen Er glanced sideways at Bai, who was holding on to the door frame and looking at him.

Seeing that he was wearing only thin single clothes in such extreme weather and even some dirty white clothes, Shinji took out two pieces of modern clothes from the system space.

"Put it on. Then, don't forget the meaning of living that you got from the beginning."

Although he didn't quite understand, Bai still followed his heart and nodded his head. But...

Bai held up the white stockings that matched the loli skirt, blinking with doubtful big eyes.

"What's this?"

…

Half a month later.

"Koro-sensei, where are we going?"

In the Kingdom of Water, far away from Kirigakure Village and deep in the mountains where no one has visited, Shiro raised his head and asked Shenji.

At this time, Shiro was holding a small black lace umbrella, and her hair was carefully styled according to the picture given by Shinji, and she matched it with a black and white Gothic lolita outfit.

As long as she doesn't say anything about her appearance, no matter who looks at her, she will look exactly like the cold, long, straight, black lolita character in the comics.

As for Koro-sensei, that’s what this man calls himself.

Although he knew that Koro-sensei might not be the man's real name, Shiro didn't ask any more questions, and Shiro felt that this title had a familiar feeling.

"Who knows, it's just..."

Saying that, Shen Er raised his head and looked at the mountain top.

"…feeling confused and meaningless in life."

…

The cottage on the mountain is the base camp of the Kaguya clan.

But it seems that it was no coincidence that there is no one here, and in the true sense, there is no one left behind.

The Kaguya clan is a clan that is even more mentally ill than the Uchiha clan in the Naruto world. They like excitement and are loyal to their own desires and pursue excitement persistently.

Don't be afraid of death, don't be afraid of being defeated.

This collective mental madness makes them fight or on the way to fight basically every day.

But it was this group of people who gave birth to a young man who was "deviant" and began to think about the meaning of life.

Kimimaro, originally Shinji had no intention of kidnapping this boy, he just wanted to look for it when he got interested.

However, I didn't expect that with such a casual search, Shinji would actually find the headquarters of the Kaguya clan, and by the way, he would also find Kimimaro who was imprisoned by the Kaguya clan.

There is a cage some distance away from the village - a natural rock depression, coupled with the wooden prison door, allowing Kimimaro, who has almost completely inherited the bloodstained ability of the Kaguya clan, to imprison himself.

Kimimaro, who had white hair and was a little thin, squatting in the prison with his knees in his arms, raised his eyes and glanced at the blue-haired man who seemed to be passing by and the brightly dressed man.

White without a trace of dust.

Then he withdrew his gaze. After all, he was just a passerby and had nothing to do with him.

Gu——

Hearing the growling of his stomach from inside the cage, Shenji wondered, could Kimimaro's illness be caused by hunger? Because there was often no one in the clan to bring him food and he would go hungry for several days?

Shiro's action of feeding interrupted Shen Er's random thoughts. Looking at Shiro who kindly placed a piece of bread outside the prison, Shen Er shook his head, and then glanced at the rusty and broken door lock.

"It's useless. People who lock themselves in a cage have no way to open the cage. The most important thing is missing."

Bai was puzzled, but then he discovered that the door lock was broken and the door was only ajar.

"Why can't he come out even if the lock is broken?"

"Because there is a stronger lock on the heart that cannot be seen by the human eye."

After answering, Shinji secretly observed Kimimaro's reaction, but unfortunately, he still hugged his knees and lowered his head without saying a word, and his expression did not change at all.

"Let's go, Bai."

"but…"

"A guy who doesn't even have the courage to reach out of the cage is just a meaningless puppet, destined to be locked in a cage for the rest of his life."

After saying that, Shinji turned around. Although Shiro was still a little hesitant, seeing that Kimimaro still didn't respond, he finally turned around and followed Shinji.

And just when the two of them left, Kimimaro made a move, raised his head and looked at the bread that was placed outside the cage for nothing, and then looked at the outside world.

"the meaning of life…"

…

On the way down the mountain slowly, Shinji was speechless when he saw Kimimaro, who seemed to be running straight towards Kimimaro with many leaves hanging on his body.

This person is really easy to fool!

"Can you escape from a meaningless life by opening the cage?"

The young man asked.

"Who knows..."

Shinji shrugged his shoulders, and then led Shiro past Kimimaro, whose heart and expression did not change after hearing this answer, and continued at the same time.

"At least from the moment you open the cage, you are free to find the so-called meaning of life. Even if you spend your whole life not finding it, it doesn't matter, because finding the meaning of life becomes the meaning of your life.

"

Hearing this, Kimimaro gradually widened his eyes, and the deathly gray color in his eyes gradually faded away, and the darkness that had always existed gradually disappeared.

A few seconds later, Kimimaro turned back to look at Shinji who was gradually leaving and the black-haired girl who kept looking back at him, and made his first decision after freedom.

Turn around and follow!

…

a.

Along the coast of the Kingdom of Whirlpool, late at night.

The red spots and eyeshadow on his forehead were wiped away by Shinji, and his hair was cut into a normal short hair. Kimimaro, dressed in normal clothes for his age, sat silently beside the campfire.

Shiro, like Kimimaro, was waiting quietly for something, and Shinji was also waiting quietly with his eyes closed.

"Yoshi! It's been three minutes!"

In an instant, Shenji opened his eyes.
Chapter completed!
