The end
I can only see the scene replay over and over again. People screams, the smell of burning flesh, The fire that was burning up this battlefield. This so called war that was going to not end our legacy.
I never ever will become a ninja ever again. This so called "Honor" is stupid, my comrade have fallen because of the honor. Genins, Chunins, and Jonins linger on the floor lifeless, dead, and cold. There was no choices but to burn them.
I could recognize some faces in the pile of dead comrades. Kuniochi were to be rape if weak. For the first time, I've never felt intense sadness. For the first time, I wanted to die.
This war was cause by greed, envy, lust and various human emotions. We were so close to... so close to becoming true ninjas, we all promised that we were going to celebrate once the war was over...
I'm sorry Orochimaru...

But... life just wouldn't leave me. I shouted, screamed at the endless abyss. until a white light ingulfed me.
It was a blurry sight, but familiar sound surrounded me. mother..? I cried and cried and cried but the rocking was slow and smooth.
I feel asleep.
/4/ Years
I was running around, chasing bugs to use as experiment. I've think I'm becoming more like Orochimaru, Haha~ ironic isn't it?
But I don't want to become like that. I don't want to... die. I don't know what I really want anymore. but one thing I'm certain was...
Do I really have to become a ninja?
Do I an Aburame have to fight until I die? I tried to look back but will I even have my teammates back? Ha! I knew, I knew that the war was unavoidable.
I knew yet... I'm acting like I can change it. You can't change what was already done, I-
No. I'm going to go against the orders. against the laws. against the enemies. against everythings. That way... I can finall- I can't change anything.
This is too much. I'm getting tired. Sick of being reborn 5 times, only to die and die and die and die and die. Seeing the same scene replay over again.
I- "Kohaku?" I turned my head at the women voice, looking coldly at her, "What." She figeted around acting like a fragile girl.
"Kyyaaahhh~" She screamed, "Help! Kohaku is going to strip me!" Her fanboys ran to beat me up and whispered, "Are you alright?" to her. Such bullshit like that will kill her.
After all she's a person who cries wolf. But... Orochimaru jumped in the fight and saved me. This time, things went out differently.
It was not like my other alternative world, that repeats itself. Perhaps I can change the fate of my comrades. The war won't be prevented but I can save others from making the same mistakes again.
"Thank you."
Orochimaru nodded.
