Chapter 310 The Grand Finale Part 3: Game Characters Have Actually Came into Reality?!
[A black-haired girl, a symbol of hope and purity, floats in the air, her body and existence erased along with her; the memories of her remain are everyone's last vestige of existence.]
[Congratulations to the player for achieving the hidden ending: The White Moonlight of the Ninja World]
A brightly colored notification popped up on the square phone screen, and the lively flower-scattering effect around the screen instantly diluted the sadness of the ending.
"The white moonlight of the ninja world? Really? Am I dead?"
Haruko sat up abruptly in bed in the morning, not understanding how the character she had worked so hard for had suddenly come to an end.
This Naruto fan game, developed by Zhibi Company, became an instant hit upon its release.
On a friend's recommendation, Haruko Hayama also became a proud gamer who was addicted to the game.
Unfortunately, the game's investors disappeared after a scandal broke out, leaving the planned Akatsuki and Sengoku storylines unfinished.
The investors' shameless behavior has drawn widespread condemnation from players, but no amount of condemnation can change the fact that the game is over.
Haruko originally thought the final ending was still a long way off, but she didn't expect the ending to come so suddenly.
"A hidden ending... I wonder what the other endings are like."
Thinking about this, Haruko Hayama suddenly became interested.
She went to the game's official forum to see what endings other people had achieved.
After searching through other people's posts for a long time, I found that most of them either died in missions or wars, or died at the hands of Orochimaru.
If you can't even survive, there's no point in talking about the strategy guide that everyone's been clamoring for.
Almost every player's comment included a lament or two, complaining that it was too difficult to sue the walkthrough.
A strategy guide? Haruko looked a little confused.
So this game has a romance route? She always thought it was about the bond level, and in order to get on the good side of a strong character, she even maxed out the affection level of many characters.
It doesn't seem too difficult.
She typed away, suppressing her doubts, and sent a question—
[Is it really that easy to die? I think I got a special ability right from the start, which allows me to go back in time, change history, and revive others. It feels like I've been able to survive for quite a while.]
After posting it, Haruko didn't look for any follow-up.
After all, there are at least tens of thousands, if not thousands, of posts on the forum.
After finishing lunch, she realized that her message notifications were practically exploding with red notifications.
[1L: ? ? ? No, what kind of eye technique? (Panda head shocked)]
[2L: Is there something wrong with my eyes or the game I'm playing? Isn't the starting talent random, and the rest of the game is just about surviving? Where did the poster get their eye technique? (Piggy Hero stares wide-eyed)]
[3L: "Is it easy to die?", I declare that I've become a lemon at this moment...]
[4L: (Falls down) It's all about changing history and resurrecting people, are we even playing the same game?]
...
[85L: The forum veterans only got to the point where they uncovered the truth about the Uchiha clan massacre before Danzo discovered it and killed them. Are you kidding me?]
[86L: Just wondering (peeking in furtively like a dog), how far have you gotten in your progress, OP?]
After reading these replies, Haruko's bewilderment deepened.
[87L Original Poster: After the Akatsuki attack on Konoha ended, I feel like I'm playing a completely different game than you guys. (Stunned)]
[88L: Akatsuki? Akatsuki?! Damn it, I wouldn't even dare to dream that far ahead. I've already died countless times in the Chunin Exams.]
[89L: Could the poster be some kind of hidden pro? I'd love to know their progress on the walkthrough! (Looking forward to it!)]
[90L Original Poster: I'm not a pro, this is my first time playing this kind of game. I always thought the romance route was the bond route, and it seems like I've maxed them all out.]
[91L: (Shocking! (Shocking! (Triple Shock)) What kind of comment can I leave to get the original poster's game account?]
[92L: OP, be careful! I remember the official warning before the game launched was not to max out the walkthrough, otherwise something troublesome would happen. (Silently leaves)]
[93L: The official statement did mention this, but I've tried several times since starting the game, and forget about anything else, I can't even progress on Sasuke's route. Going to see him often just lowers his affection level (crying). Who cares about that anymore?!]
[94L: I need a complete walkthrough! (Hands clasped together)]
[95L: +1 +1 +1]
...
Something troubling?
Haruko tilted her head, somewhat puzzled.
Suddenly, her mother's voice came from outside the door.
"Haruko, new neighbors have moved in next door. Mom can't leave right now, so why don't you take the pastries from the table and go say hello?"
"good--"
Haruko left her house in the morning and walked to the house next door.
Strangely, the door opened by itself before she even knocked.
Haruko quickly took a few steps back and cautiously peered into the house. "Excuse me, is anyone home?"
"have."
As a casual male voice rang out, a tall, slender man with long hair walked gracefully towards them.
He wore an exquisite kimono in the color of bamboo and moonlight. Although he was dressed as a cool and aloof nobleman, he was inexplicably alluring because of the devilish charm in his eyes.
Being stared at by his gilded snake eyes gave one a faint sense of oppression, as if being locked onto by a cold, sinister animal.
He spoke slowly, his tone carrying a hint of mockery, "Beautiful lady, did you come all this way just to see me?"
Before Haruko could even react, an excited male voice, mixed with electronic sounds, came from inside the room.
"Pah! Orochimaru, have you no shame!"
Haruko blinked and asked doubtfully, "Are there other people here?"
Despite the interruption, Orochimaru maintained his smile, only uttering some infuriating words.
"It's nothing, just a smart speaker."
Upon hearing him describe himself in this way in front of Haruko Hayama, Hiruko immediately started cursing.
"Orochimaru! Who are you calling a smart speaker! If I didn't have to go to receive an award, would you even be standing here talking to Haru... her?!"
Orochimaru leaned against the door frame, smoothing his long hair as if he was bored. He noticed Haruko Hayama's gaze on him and waved his hand.
"Ignore it, this smart speaker is special, it's particularly annoying."
“Okay… I’m from Zaojian’s house next door. I heard that we have new neighbors, so I came to visit.”
Haruko quickly handed him the box, her face calm but her expression flustered as she said goodbye, "Then I'll be going now!"
As soon as she turned around and took a step, Haruko heard the person behind her say something that sounded somewhat ambiguous.
"Thank you for the pastries. I look forward to...see you next time."
This is simply unbelievable!
No matter how you look at it, the neighbor next door looks exactly like Orochimaru from the game, even their names are the same!
Haruko, who had been up all night trying to figure things out, hurriedly grabbed her breakfast and headed to school.
It is said that many transfer students came this year, and they will have to be reassigned to different classes when school starts.
Then, Haruko saw an even stranger scene.
In the game, the golden retriever Naruto Uzumaki is sitting by the window wearing a well-tailored school uniform. When he makes eye contact with her as she enters the classroom, he visibly becomes happy.
He strode up to Haruko and called out in a lively, boyish voice, "Haruko, I like you!"
The moment the powerful confession was uttered, the entire classroom fell silent.
Haruko, sweating profusely, managed a smile. "Classmate, isn't this the first time we've met?"
Naruto Uzumaki thought for a second, then answered seriously, "Then I fell in love with you at first sight!"
A merciless punch landed on the head of the goofy blond guy, and Uchiha Sasuke roared at him, unable to bear it any longer.
"You absolute idiot, tone it down!"
Unbelievable! Absolutely unbelievable!
Haruko Hayama's school life was incredibly dreamy.
The bright and beautiful Yamanaka Ino and the lovely and resolute Haruno Sakura both proposed to be her friends.
"Haruko! Let's go to the toilet together!"
"Broad forehead, I was the one who grabbed Haruko first, let go of me!"
"You ugly thing, you're the one who should let go!"
Then the two of them started arguing about who Haruko should go to the bathroom with.
As Nara Shikamaru, lounging lazily with his face propped up, met her gaze from afar, he silently mouthed, "Yo."
The slightly chubby and reliable Choji Akimichi brought a huge pile of snacks to her table. "Haruko, these are all delicious treats that I carefully selected. I guarantee you'll love them!"
The calm and collected Hyuga Neji grabbed her wrist during gym class and said, "Let's be a pair."
A surge of fervor coursed through him as he stopped her in the hallway. "Haruko, please be with me! I'll protect you with my life!"
The understanding Tenten dragged away Rock Lee, who had failed in his confession, saying, "Haha, wait a minute, Haruko. Let me give him a major makeover before he comes to confess to you!"
The taciturn Shino always liked to look at her, and only answered when Shino took the initiative to ask her, "I care about your presence."
The energetic and sunny Kiba Inuzuka squatted at the corner and waved to her. After she came over, he slowly opened his coat. "Look, this is Akamaru! Well, you can only touch it for a little while."
Blushing with embarrassment, Hinata stammered, unable to speak, "It's...that...I..."
Their homeroom teacher was Kakashi Hatake, who wore a mask and, despite being rather perfunctory in class, was surprisingly reliable.
The teachers for other subjects included Rin Nohara, Obito Uchiha, Kurenai Yuhi, Asuma Sarutobi, and Might Guy.
Haruko was called to their office by them for many reasons, either to stuff her with a bunch of snacks and candies, or for one-on-one tutoring under the guise of something else.
On her way home from school, she would occasionally encounter a white-haired, spiky-haired man who would strike up a conversation with her.
However, after Haruko made her way to the police station in the morning, the strange uncle named Jiraiya was immediately taken inside for questioning.
As she was leaving, Fugaku Uchiha, who was wearing a team uniform, handed her a jar of candy.
"Take it home and eat it, but eat less of it, or you'll get cavities."
On her way home, a gentle older brother named Uchiha Itachi escorted her to her house.
As the sun set in the twilight, Itachi Uchiha crouched down and looked up at her.
She said softly, "We've finally met, Haruko."

Ding ding ding: Author's Closing Remarks!
This book was written on and off for a long time, and I am most grateful to all the lovely people who have supported and cared for the author along the way!
Thank you so much everyone! Because of you, I was able to persevere and finish writing this book! (ㄒoㄒ)
I originally planned for a short ending, but I ended up wanting to elaborate on it as I wrote. As a result, the word count increased, which is why it's being published so late. I'm really sorry, my little darlings!
I will no longer be writing books using the "Fanqie" method. If you're willing to follow me, you can follow my Weibo account. My name is still "Writing Passerby A," and my profile picture hasn't changed either.
The latest post mentions a new book pre-order, which is also a Naruto fanfiction. Those who are interested can check it out!
One last thing: It's finally over!!!
Because of time constraints, there may be some plot points and settings that cannot be fully resolved. Just treat it as a sweet and doting novel.
I won't be using the fanqie feature anymore. If you have anything to say or any questions, feel free to find me on Weibo. I love chatting with you all!
Thank you to all the lovely readers who enjoyed this book! See you again someday! (* * )*
