The one who arrived was none other than Ye's older brother — Kū.
Kū looked around at the surroundings and nodded slightly. Then he spoke to Nagi and Samui:
"Long time no see—no… (Dad doesn't remember yet.)"
"Nice to meet you, Dad. Mom. My name is Kū ."
Samui replied with a mixture of nervousness and joy:
"Nice to meet you, Kū."
"Nice to… meet you, Kū?"
Nagi felt a strange sense of familiarity toward the boy before him, yet he had no memory of ever meeting him.
Kū then turned to Ye and Eida.
"You two worked hard, Ye. Eida. You did well."
"Hehe, it wasn't that great…"
Ye scratched the back of her head shyly.
Eida, however, immediately rushed forward and hugged Kū.
"It's been so long, Kū. I missed you so much."
Ai mercilessly exposed her.
"You dragged my big brother out on a date just the day before yesterday."
"Kū~"
Eida ignored her completely, gazing at him with watery eyes and a look full of affection.
Kū sighed slightly.
"Alright, Eida, let go for a moment. I'll need your help soon."
"Of course! I'll do anything you ask, Kū."
Reluctantly, Eida loosened her grip.
Kū then took out a palm-sized red orb and infused it with chakra.
"Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique — Izanagi."
The orb released a pillar of brilliant red light.
The light quickly spread across the entire Amegakure.
Buildings that had been damaged began reforming themselves.
Villagers who had been injured—or even killed—were gradually restored to life.
The sky returned to its usual overcast state, and the ocean surface once again filled with Konan's explosive tags.
Both the International Exchange Class and the Akatsuki were stunned by the sheer power of this restoration technique.
Kū handed a piece of paper to Eida.
"Please follow the instructions on this and modify or erase the memories."
"Understood."
Eida carefully read the note.
After a while, she raised her right hand.
"Omnipotence — Memory Modification."
Purple light once again radiated from her body.
Some time later, she lowered her hand.
"It's done. Except for the few of us here, I've erased or altered everyone's memories in the shinobi world regarding today's events and Meruzuna."
"Thank you for your hard work," Kū said.
"It's nothing. But you have to make time for a date with me next week~"
"..."
At that moment, Ai spoke from the projection.
"Alright. It's time to go."
"This time you didn't travel using the 'Plow', and Mom Satsuki is worried about potential space-time instability."
"For safety's sake, you should come back as soon as possible."
"I understand."
Kū nodded and turned to Ye and Eida.
"Let's go."
"Okay." ×2
He opened a portal.
Then he looked back.
"Dad… Moms."
"Goodbye."
"Goodbye." ×4
Kū, Ye, Eida, and Ai all said their farewells.
Then Kū, Ye, and Eida stepped into the portal one by one.
The portal closed behind them.
And just like that—
They were gone.
At the same time—
Ameno and Samui collapsed into Nagi's arms, tears welling up in their eyes.
Although they had only met their children for a short time, watching them leave still filled their hearts with an indescribable sense of sadness.
Nagi felt the same heaviness in his heart.
He quietly held them close.
Then, together with Shizuka, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave the area.
Inside the Dimensional Passage
Kū traveled through the dimensional tunnel with Eida and Ye, returning to their world.
Ye suddenly asked:
"Oh right, Big Sister Eida. Can I see that note?"
"Of course. But you have to destroy it after reading."
Eida handed her the paper.
Ye curiously read it.
The note had been written by future Nagi.
It listed several instructions, including who needed to be revived and which memories needed to be modified or erased.
Naturally—
Rasa and the others were not on the resurrection list.
The final instruction stated:
A mental hint should be left inside the minds of Nagi, Samui, Shizuka, and Ameno.
When Nagi eventually recovers his memories, the memories of the three women will also return.
At that moment, they will realize that all four of them originally came from the same world.
After reading the note, Ye burned it.
Residence
Samui and Ameno were clinging to Nagi's arms, resting their heads on his shoulders.
It was as if they were afraid he might disappear too.
Shizuka watched them with a hint of envy.
Even though she hadn't seen her own future child yet, watching Kū and the others leave still made her feel deeply sad.
Samui spoke softly:
"Nagi… can I stay here tonight?"
"Me too," Ameno added.
"I see… Shizuka, do you want to stay as well?"
Seeing their reddened eyes, Nagi agreed without hesitation.
Shizuka was slightly surprised, but she nodded.
Thus—
"Uh… my house does have guest rooms."
Nagi looked helplessly at the three women who had spread their bedding inside his room.
"No. If we stay in the guest rooms, we won't get enough 'Nagi energy.'"
"…What exactly is 'Nagi energy'?"
The three women didn't answer.
They simply stared at him silently.
Nagi felt uneasy under their intense gazes.
"Ahem… it's late. Let's go to sleep."
Before they could respond, he quickly turned over, pulled the blanket up, and pretended to fall asleep immediately.
The three women exchanged glances and quietly laughed.
Samui sighed with a hint of regret.
"Nagi is still too young. We can't do anything too excessive to him."
Shizuka looked at Samui with envy.
"Actually, Nagi could do excessive things to us. But Ameno and I are still a bit too young…"
"On the other hand, Captain, you—"
Samui's face immediately flushed red.
"Ahem. Go to sleep."
"Hehehe." ×2
Ameno and Shizuka snickered.
Only then did Samui realize she had been teased.
She shot them both a cold glare.
The two tried to imitate her stern expression—but soon failed.
"As expected of the captain."
"We're no match for her."
After that little exchange, their moods improved considerably.
Shizuka suddenly lifted the sleeping Nagi and handed him to Samui.
"Here's the captain's reward."
"You get to recharge a full night of 'Nagi energy.'"
Samui initially wanted to protest, worried about disturbing Nagi's sleep.
But when she saw his peaceful sleeping face—
Her heart began to race.
In the end, she quietly accepted him.
Holding Nagi gently, she lay down.
Breathing in his faint scent, Samui soon fell asleep peacefully.
The Next Morning
Nagi slowly woke up.
His face felt pressed against something soft, and breathing was strangely difficult.
Opening his eyes—
He realized his face was buried in Samui's chest.
"…Did I sleep that badly?"
He tried to turn and escape her embrace.
But even in her sleep, Samui instinctively held him tighter.
"..."
And so—
Nagi was forced to enjoy a full morning of "face-washing service."
After breakfast, the members of the International Exchange Class resumed their usual routine of training and missions.
