Uzumaki Kushina visited Sora in her hospital room.

  Although Sora was still in a a, he remained scious.

  He heard every word Uzumaki Kushina said clearly.

  Sora heard that Uzumaki Kushina had already made up her mind and would not care about other people's opinions. She wao be friends with him, someone despised by everyone.

  Sora's little heart was beating wildly.

  Oops, it was a heart-pounding feeling.

  Except for the four years he had lived happily with his parents, Uzumaki Kushina was the first person to show him kindness.

  Since Uzumaki Kushina had such determination, what reason did Sora have to refuse?

  Sora began thinking about his future arras.

  Acc to his uanding, if he wao obtain witness points, he o witness important people as in the ninja world and then obtain those points.

  Uzumaki Kushina was aremely important figure in the ninja world.

  After all, the future ninja world revolved around Uzumaki Naruto.

  In other words, as long as he followed Uzumaki Kushina in the early stage, he could get a lot of witness points.

  However, if Sora's guess was correct, then Uzumaki Kushina had fallen into a trap structed by Konoha since her arrival.

  Since he wao be friends with Uzumaki Kushina, Sora had to ge her fate.

  In this case, Uzumaki Kushina would not die, but simirly, Uzumaki Naruto would not be born, and Sora would also lose many ways to obtain witness points.

  However, the witness points were the key to whether Sora could establish a foothold in the ninja world iure.

  Sora's inal pn was to stay in Konoha temporarily, wait until after the ails Rebellion to leave Konoha, and then wait for Uzumaki Naruto to bee a Genin, obtaining witness points through him.

  But that definitely wouldn't work now.

  Sora had to ge his pn, prepare in advao leave Konoha, witness other events, and search for all the witness points he could find.

  There was one more thing Sora o sider: the ails.

  If Uzumaki Kushina were willing to bee a Jinchūriki, then he wouldn't have to think about it.

  But if Uzumaki Kushina weren't willing to bee a Jinchūriki, Sora would o prepare in advance.

  Finally, he was about to have a friend, and she was a friend willing to accept that he was rejected by everyone. Sora himself had to be worthy of Uzumaki Kushina's resolve.

  At that moment, the system's voice suddeered Sora's mind.

  [Host, please hat obtaining witness points does not require the Host to witness something that happe.]

  After hearing this, Sora asked in fusion, "What do you mean?"

  [Witness points be obtained as long as they affect the ninja world. It does not have to be importas in the Host's memory to obtain witness points.

  For example, if the Host uniterally decres war against Konoha, the Host will not obtain witness points because the Host does not have the power to fight against Konoha, and Konoha will not take it seriously. Naturally, no witness points will be gained.

  However, if the host is strong and Konards the host as a signifit threat, then this will be judged as a, and the host will gain witness points.

  At the same time, because the Host participated in this event, the Host will also receive a rge number of witness points after the event ends.]

  Sora suddenly became excited upon hearing the system's expnation. "In that case, I obtain witness points by myself!?"

  [That is correct, but there is ohing the Host o be reminded of: some major events are bound to happen.]

  Sora's excitement faded, and he said solemnly, "That means... Uzumaki Naruto will definitely be born?"

  [Yes, but this person may not be the Uzumaki Naruto in the Host's memory.]

  Sora calmed down, p the system's words, and murmured, "You mean Uzumaki Naruto will definitely be born, but he may not necessarily be Kushina's child. It could be someone else's child who takes Uzumaki Naruto's pce as this key figure, right?"

  [The Host's uanding is correct.]

  Sora fell into deep thought.

  This was actually good news for Sora. This meant that certain major events would happen regardless of his as, and these events could still bring him witness points.

  Now, he just o proceed step by step, accumute strength, and help Uzumaki Kushina ge her inal fate.

  Thinking this way, Sora felt much more at ease and even developed new hopes for the future of his otherwise stagnant life.

  Uzumaki Kushina was still chatting with Sora, telling him about her daily life.

  Somehow, everything Uzumaki Kushina said tugged at Sora's heartstrings.

  When Uzumaki Kushiioned a group of brats blog her path and trying to teach her a lesson, Sora felt a surge of anger.

  But when she described how she had beaten those brats to the ground and made them beg for mercy, Sora felt immense joy.

  "Okay, Sora, it's getting te. I should head back, randma Mito will be worried. I hope we meet at the ninja school tomorrow instead of the hospital. See you tomorrow."

  After Uzumaki Kushina said goodbye to Sora, he silently responded in his heart, "See you tomorrow, Kushina."

  After Uzumaki Kushi, Sora felt an intense desire to wake up so that he could meet her at the ninja school the day.

  Perhaps this strong desire moved his body because Sora's fiwitched.

  Notig the movement, Sora suddenly felt a surge of happiness.

  He focused all his effort aining trol of his body.

  After the fingers, it was his toes, then his arms, thighs, neck...

  Sradually recimed trol of his body and finally opened his eyes.

  The harsh light from the bulb overhead caused him to squint and close his eyes again.

  He felt his body—sore and ag. It was clear that he had not fully recovered yet.

  When Sora opened his eyes again, he sensed movement outside the window.

  Turning his gaze, he noticed the tree branches swaying outside the window.

  "Anbu..."

  Sora's eyes darkened.

  He khat the damage caused by his use of the Thunder Breath Sword style in the forest would undoubtedly draw the attention of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

  Thus, Sora wasn't surprised to find that the Anbu were spying on him.

  He guessed that once he was discharged from the hospital, Sarutobi Hiruzen would summon him to ask about the methods he had used to destroy the forest so thhly.

  However, what Sora hadn't expected was that, just half an hour ter, Sarutobi Hiruzen would visit the ward to see him in person.

  The moment Sora saw Sarutobi Hiruzen, he froze in surprise.

  From Sora's perspective, although it was a bit unusual for a ninja school student to cause such destru, it didn't seem signifit enough for Sarutobi Hiruzen himself—who generally ignored him—to e in person.
