Chapter 16: Rose and Violet

"What... what is this place!?"

Izumi suddenly appeared in a forest. In front of her was a small lake and a very beautiful wooden house. The ground was filled with all kinds of flowers. It looked like a paradise.

"Hey~ Hello~"

Suddenly, she heard a crisp voice. Then she looked up. It turned out to be a red-haired girl dressed similarly to her. The girl was sitting on a branch, shaking her white legs and twitching her nose with her eyes closed, as if smelling something.

"Hmm~ A very nice smell of violets~ I like it very much~"

Karin opened her eyes and patted the branch with a smile. Suddenly, a wooden slide appeared on that branch. Karin just sat on the slide and slid down.

"Hello~ I am Rose~"

"Wood Style?"

Izumi glanced at Karin with some surprise. Then she smiled and said, "I am Violet." After she smiled, her big eyes suddenly turned into crescent shapes. She looked very gentle and cute.

"Please give me more advice in the future!"

"Please give me more advice~"

After the two girls got to know each other briefly, they walked directly to Kirigakure. This time their mission was to go to Kirigakure to recruit... and save a little girl!

Because they both belonged to the same organization and were around the same age, there was no generation gap. Both of them were kind-hearted, so it didn't take long for them to become familiar with each other. The topic gradually shifted to "girly" things.

"Violet, do you have someone you like? I remember, Purple Violet's words are about falling in love with you in a dream! Who have you loved in your dreams?"

"Well..."

Izumi's face turned red when she heard this. "That's just a dream to me~ It's impossible for us!"

"Huh? Is there a situation?"

Karin moved her face closer, "Tell me about it! Tell me!"

"Can't say!"

"You have to say it!"

Karin reached out to tickle Izumi. The two girls just started play-fighting. Although based on their strength, this behavior was very childish. However, Karin had been lonely since she was a child and had never experienced friendship. Izumi's family was brutally exterminated, and she felt extremely sad. Therefore, both of them were enjoying the warmth of this friendship at the moment.

"Hahaha... Okay, okay, I surrender!"

After fighting for a while, Izumi smiled and pushed Karin away. Then she revealed a secret to forcibly change the subject. "That person I can't say. However, I can tell you about another person! Hmm~ my first love."

"First love?"

Karin was a little curious, "Why don't you like it now?"

"Because he killed my whole family."

"Well..."

Karin couldn't help but tremble in her heart when she looked at Izumi, who was filled with chills.

"If he had just killed me, I could forgive and understand his difficulties. Maybe I'd forgive him. But, he killed my whole family. He did it for his brother and for the so-called peace of the village. The entire family was considered a sacrifice. He committed the murder of his family. Unforgivable. No matter what his reasons are, they are unforgivable! At that time, I watched my family members die in front of me. Such a great hatred. I wish I could kill him with a knife. The vague good feelings I had all disappeared that night, turned into hate."

Looking at Izumi, who spoke such earth-shattering words with a calm face, Karin couldn't help but feel a little scared.

"You... are you planning to kill him?"

"Kill him?" Izumi smiled and shook her head, "After the Holy Lord's enlightenment, I have decided to cut it off. Because I think about it carefully. It would be too cheap to kill him. It's better to keep him alive and healthy. Live in eternal pain."

"Hmm..." Karin's eyes suddenly turned into "white eyes." "So... so scary..."

"Don't worry~" Izumi smiled with crescent moon eyes and looked at Karin. "It's all about the mission! I will not disobey the Lord's command. Whatever the Lord asks me to do, I will do it~" Now, her cheeks turned slightly red. Because she thought of that dream again...

Back then, after she was resurrected by Varen, although she had been imprisoned by Varen's power and was in a coma, she had hazy memories of everything that happened at that time. For example, Varen gently fed her food and water, gently covered her with quilts, gently helped her relax her muscles, and gently helped her go to the toilet...

Although a little shameful, because this was a dream, the brain always added some beautiful associations. For instance... The two of them greeted each other under the Sakura tree in the morning, and took a leisurely walk on the streets covered with golden ginkgo leaves at dusk. Sometimes they played with cats, sometimes they talked about love while standing on the Hokage Rock, and sometimes they talked about love at a meatball shop.

Later she was severely injured and became disabled. Varen still refused to give up, taking care of her very gently. Such a sweet dream. A beautiful dream that was completely opposite to that horrific nightmare that was still fresh in her memory. She was very obsessed with it. After waking up, she was surprised to find out. The lover of her dreams actually turned into the Holy Lord!

While this shocked her, she was also a little disappointed. So, she was ready to bury this impossible relationship in her heart. The name Violet was also named after this dream. However, Varen, who didn't understand the truth, wanted to go astray. He even added "I hope you wake up soon" at the end.

...

"Hehehe..." Karin pushed up her glasses and laughed twice. "That's good~" After that, she started to change the topic. "Right! Do you know? I once heard the Holy Master say that Uchiha Itachi's favorite person is his younger brother! Sasuke!"

"What!?" Izumi was stunned when she heard this, "Is there such a thing?"

"Yes, yes! The Holy Lord said that most men of the Uchiha clan like men~ So full of gay love!"

"So Itachi should like Shisui! He and Shisui had a pretty good relationship back then! After Shisui died, his whole person changed!"

"Huh? Yeah? This is indeed possible! After all, Sasuke is his biological brother. It's impossible to be together, right? Shisui is different! It's possible for the two of them to be together!"

...

At this moment, the two fujoshi1 felt their fangirl souls burning. They were intensely discussing the former genius Uchiha Itachi's love life. Varen didn't know about these discussions. He didn't use the Pupil Technique to observe their actions. Because the Chūnin exam had come to an end, many people rushed into his bookstore...
