Pain...

That's all I could register at the moment.

Also the feeling of suffocating.

The last memory I had was of being thrown backwards with force.

An explosion in the sky had happened a few seconds before everything collapsed and the leaf village was left in ruins.

I didn't know how much time had passed since that moment. it could be seconds, minutes or hours.

I opened my eyes wearily and darkness greeted me, except for the small gaps of sunlight coming in where I was buried.

I could tell I was under some wall of a building that collapsed on top of me.

With a grunt I forced the chakra into my hands and legs as I pushed the enormous

The dust increased as the wall hit the ground and air hit my lungs, but a pain shot through my ribs.

I exhaled a few times as the fresh air

I pressed a hand on my abdomen, I could tell that one or two ribs were fractured.

With effort I managed to stand up and look around.

Ruins is all that is left here.

I continued walking and started to look for Souma who was next to me at the time of the explosion. I looked for his chakra signature, but there was nothing.

This is already giving me a bad feeling, I needed to find Souma and go back to Getsu, let Konoha solve its own problems.

A few meters away from where I had collapsed, I noticed something under some beams that made my heart stop.

A male hand was sticking out from under them, but what I recognized was that on the wrist was a watch that I knew very well. And that's because I gave it to him years ago.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, please be okay. I begged internally as I ran towards it.

I circulated chakra throughout my system, not caring about my broken ribs, in order to move all the heavy concrete beams that were on top of him and I found his mangled body.

His face was covered in dust, his Moon Hitae was crooked on his forehead. his other arm was bent in an abnormal position.

I could tell his legs were crushed and I could see a bone sticking out of his right leg.

But most noticeable was the pointed piece of metal protruding from his abdomen.

I searched for a pulse with my hands and found a very faint one.

I looked around desperately for some fucking healing slug or doctor, but there was no one.

Not even the damn healing scrolls Karin prepared that I had brought with me.

Were thrown away with the explosion.

Everything was lost under tons of debris and destruction.

Souma half-opened his eyes weakly and when he saw me leaning over him, pressing the wound on his torso he let out a sigh.

I begged him to stay with me that help would come very soon, but we both knew it was unlikely.

I felt Souma's hand take mine and with his mouth covered with his blood he said his last words.

He gave a last sigh and I felt the moment when his pulse stopped.

I stood in shock looking at the body of the person I considered a brother.

Souma who was the first friend I had at the academy.

Souma who always made sure that I felt included with the Mochizuki clan.

Souma who wanted Ren and me to train with him, in the Mochizuki's courtyard.

Souma who gave his best to become a shinobi.

Souma who was Ren's best friend.

Souma who loved all his friends and the moon village.

Souma who had an easy smile for everyone.

Souma that he was very much in love with Chise.

Souma Mochizuki who loved to live.

Memories of all the times I spent with him passed like a movie in my memory

I felt something wet my cheek and looked at the sky looking for the drops falling from the sky.

I touched my cheek with my dirty hand and noticed it was a tear, it was the first time I cried, then my eyes focused on the body next to me.

The first tear I had shed in this fucking world and it was due to Souma's death.

How fucking ironic, I thought.

It wasn't fucking fair, Souma was a good person, he didn't deserve to die like that, so far away from our home.

The sound of a battle unfolding in the distance caught my attention and with it all my anger surfaced.

I shouted away the leaf shinobi that were about to approach us.

I was no longer thinking rationally.

Fuck Sasaki sensei's lessons of not letting my bloodline control me.

Fuck my decision not to interfere directly in this shitty village.

Souma was dead and that bastard was going to pay for it with his life.

The scars on my right arm darkened as the sky followed suit. And the first lightning began to strike the earth around me.

I let all the emotions I had been burying for years flow out and channeled them into the storm, this was for Souma, she knew I was about to change things.

The blade shinobi in the area noticed another danger over their heads.

But for the moment my wrath was not for them.

The biggest storm I could summon came to the ruined village.

In another world it was Naruto Uzumaki who let anger consume him after witnessing Hinata sacrifice herself for him in front of Pain.

But in this world, it was Azami who unleashed all that rage and power after Souma Mochizuki gave her last breath of life in his arms.

Lightning accompanied my every step and something hit my body, But I didn't care.

It reeked of doom and desolation. A feeling where you know all is lost.

A scent so sweet and melancholy.

It made her fall in love.

I already had a target and the storm knew it.

With a roar I felt my whole body vibrate preparing me for what was to come.

Fuck them all.

In a different world from this one it was Naruto Uzumaki who finished off the leader of Akatsuki.

In this world it was Azami Mochizuki who defeated the leader of Akatsuki named Pain.
