When I finally arrive, the fox is no longer in sight—only destruction and a mountain of brave ninjas who gave their lives for the village in the battle against the beast.

Everywhere I look, bodies are scattered. What on earth happened here? I'm a trained ninja, but this is like a battlefield. The last war isn't long behind us, and if other villages find out, it could lead to a new war.

A deep-seated worry pulls me from my thoughts. One name, one face—I turn pale and scream, "YUKAAAAARII!!!" Please don't be here, please don't be among the dead!

Desperately, I run and search for her everywhere.

As I run, I keep glancing around for the fox, but it has vanished without a trace. Amid the chaos, I see the Third Hokage holding a small newborn baby. I don't recognize this baby.

I run to the Hokage, but before I can ask any questions, tears rise in my eyes.

My search leads me through the destroyed village. I find a group of blood-soaked bodies, and the sight takes my breath away. At first, I don't recognize their faces, but the coldness and bloody destruction make me shiver.

The scene before me is overwhelming, and I feel my Sharingan activate to better comprehend the horror.

The picture before me is chaotic. The devastation, the screams, the pain—all mix into a storm of emotions. I can hardly believe what I see. As I move further through the rubble, I finally see the Third Hokage turning his gaze to another ninja.

The ninja is holding Yukari in his arms, who appears to be unharmed but exhausted.

As the Hokage turns away to look at another body, I suddenly recognize the lifeless bodies lying before me. The realization hits me like a blow.

My parents lie there, covered in blood and lifeless on the ground.

The grief over the loss of my parents strikes me with overwhelming force. The shock and sorrow wrap around me like a cold cloak.

With a groan of despair and a sigh of relief that Yukari was found alive, I stagger back. My emotions are a wild mix of pain, relief, and indescribable sorrow.

The scenes that unfold before me remain etched in my memory as I desperately try to sort out my feelings and cope with the unimaginable loss.

It's only now that I recognize the ninja holding Yukari—it's Kakashi. I hesitantly approach him, and without a word, he hands Yukari over to me. When I look into Yukari's face, I can hardly believe my eyes.

I look at Kakashi, and he nods, confirming what I've seen.

I look again into my little sister's face. Her red eyes, clearly showing the Sharingan with three tomoe, are an incredible sight. It's hard to believe that a three-year-old child has already awakened the Sharingan, and it's even developed to this extent.

The significance of this moment hits me hard, and I hold Yukari close to give her comfort.

I turn to the former Third Hokage. "Is there anything else I can do to help?" I ask him. The Hokage slowly shakes his head, his eyes filled with sorrow.

"Take care of your little sister and get her out of here," says the old man, his voice trembling with emotion.

With the heavy responsibility of now caring for my little sister, I leave the place of destruction. The reality of my parents' loss and the challenge of raising Yukari hit me with full force. It's now up to me to protect her in this difficult time and give her a safe future.
