Prologue: Falling into the Spirit world

Hello grand readers! We're passing the halfway mark of 2024, am I the only one who feels like their resolutions are mocking them right now? Well let's escape all that, pull up some chapters and get comfy.

This is a new version of one of my olders stories I had lost touch with once upon a time, but I've been inspired once again to bring this back.

"Fate works in mysterious ways,"

In the ethereal dance of existence, fate weaved its intricate patterns, unseen yet omnipresent, guiding destinies with a touch both subtle and profound. But amidst the enigmatic workings of fate, there existed a paradox, a paradox born of human hubris and the relentless pursuit of agency. While fate played a role far grander than mortal minds could fathom, there were always those who fancied themselves adversaries of destiny, blind to the immutable design that had been woven since the dawn of time.

Mankind, with its boundless ambition and insatiable greed, stood as a testament to this paradox. They were creatures driven by an innate desire to challenge the forces that governed their lives, heedless of the consequences that lay in wait. For within the very fabric of their being was encoded a primal urge to defy fate, to grasp at the illusion of control even as it slipped through their fingers like grains of sand.

And so, they sought to disrupt the delicate balance of the universe, believing that in chaos they would find purpose, that in rebellion they would find meaning. But the universe, always sought to restore equilibrium, to mend the fractures wrought by mortal folly.

Yet there were moments when the resilience of mankind exceeded the bounds of the natural order, when the universe faltered in its efforts to right the course of destiny. It was in those moments that fate devised a new strategy, a subtle manipulation of the cosmic tapestry.

An extra factor, borrowed from realms unseen, was introduced into the equation, a catalyst to restore harmony where none could be found. It seemed a simple solution, a temporary reprieve from the inexorable march of fate.

But borrowing, as with all things, came with its own perils. For once fate had taken hold of something, it was loath to relinquish its grasp. The borrowed factor, once deemed inconsequential, revealed itself to be indispensable, a linchpin upon which the very fabric of reality depended.

Sakura breathed in the familiar scent of home, as she overlooked her village encased in its walls. She would be coming back with caution as this was not an ordinary return. But a sneak-in after she once again escaped from Konoha. She had been hunting. Hunting for the information that was denied to her in the village. Anything regarding her missing teammate, and it was a decent hobby while waiting for Naruto the return. Three years, he needed for this.

'Just one year left.' she murmured to herself, her gaze drifting skyward to the painted hues of azure and cotton-white. A gentle breeze caressed her skin, carrying with it the familiar fragrance of pine and earth. Scents that spoke of home.

Already, Sakura's mind drifted to the simple pleasures that awaited her—a steaming hot bath, a hearty meal, and a well-deserved rest on what remained of her fleeting day off from training.
