[Naruto] Love Lies Beyond Mountains and Seas

I'm still waiting in Kuku in the middle of 24... Let's see the next volume woo woo

It's painful. After reading this article, I can't read many articles. The emotional line is really thin and flowing. It's so comfortable without that OOC industrial saccharine. And I really like children like Haruka. They are so cute when they are so natural.

2021 Is almost over. As long as it doesn't screw you up, I will continue to wait.

Looking forward to the plot of the next volume!!

To all the little angels who like this article and are waiting for this article: I am extremely sorry. The author has retreated to Jinjiang. It is estimated that he will not come back unless there are major changes. I don't want everyone to wait in vain, so I decided to give everyone an explanation. 1. Is it a literary trap? Got into trouble in Jinjiang. The author still has the idea of ​​​​finishing the book, but it will not be until his lifetime. After I finish writing, I will post it as a pin and give directions. 2. Why is the update discontinued for a long time? The main reason is that the author has become a tired social animal, lacking energy to focus on work, his family members are getting old and sick one after another, and he is not in a good mood. The new coronavirus has made me suffer for more than two years, and I am still suffering from my diminished memory and understanding. Secondly, it is difficult to start. This is a problem that I have always had in the process of writing articles. Now I can't write at all without an outline, but I have no inspiration to fill it. In the meantime, I tried to write other articles about rehabilitation, but half of them were written and saved in the hard drive. 3. Some questions about the next volume. There are many new original characters in the next volume of Haruka's route. The first volume ends with disillusionment, the second volume ends with a walk through hell. Haruka and Itachi have to face their own "Narakumi" and understand each other's dark side. The tone of the relationship is one of concealment and a battle of wills, which continues until the end. I may post a summary of the first volume I wrote a long time ago in the comment area. Based on the number of words, it should be included in the long review. Thank you all. Goodbye!

Who is it~ It's 2023 and you're still waiting for this article

Volume 2: Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, please come back soon

Awesome! Came to review it again, it's just like Weasel BG Bai Yueguang. Come on Xuanguang! Really looking forward to the plot of the next volume

1. [Inner and outer] Inuzuka Ran: Shy appearance. Misaki Sato: Outgoing appearance. The two of them are close friends who are very compatible with each other because although they are opposites on the outside, they are similar on the inside. They are both warm, kind and very tolerant. Rannei's enthusiasm is even stronger. In her relationship with Misaki, Ran is more dominant in some aspects. The one who decides to reach out to others, Misaki, who has a good relationship with everyone, has no such obsession (so Misaki cherishes Ran). Ran, like Mei, likes spicy food, while Misaki and Haruka can't handle it, which is a hint of their inherent similarities. Ran is very sincere about worrying about people she doesn't even know well, and both Haruka and Hirano are quickly accepted by her and Misaki, even Mei, who was previously a troublemaker in class. Haruka, Tai, and Meiyu are not this type of people, but they befriend Ran and Misaki precisely because of their inner qualities. These four girls have their own memories of exploring the path of "girls", reading magazines and novels, going to classmates' houses, doing makeup and taking photos of each other. Although they did it, they actually didn't really understand and agree with what it was. It was more like an imitation game. There is a foreshadowing here. Haruka actually has almost no photos except the ID photo taken when he first came to Konoha. In this group photo, the four of them are also in the frame with their true appearance disguised. 2. Hirano's character is not without "enthusiastic, kind, and tolerant" parts, but he is selective. Only when the other party meets the scope of "one of his own" will he take the initiative to protect the other party, and his acceptance level will become very high. His family relationship is very good, his father will teach him ramen, and he listens to his mother most of the time. Aunt Hirano was friends with Keiko, and when she told him and Haruka to take care of each other at school, Haruka became "one of his own" to him. His ranking is probably: family, good friends, friends of good friends, and people in his own circle. Part of him is compatible with Ran and Misaki, and part of him is connected with Mei, who protects the shortcomings. He actually has a good relationship with them. He has limited contact with them, but if the other party encounters difficulties, he will sincerely care about them and find ways to help. In adolescence, I had a budding crush on Haruka. He is attracted to "special" people in the same situation as himself (if they are too far away from him, he cannot empathize). Misaki and Ran's characters make him feel too soft, and Mei is too prickly. Haruka is the person with a special character who treats him well. She is not afraid of him and gives him apples. What is going on in her heart is a mystery to him. After calming down and thinking carefully, Hui realized that there was actually no inner resonance between himself and Haruka. If they became lovers, neither party would be satisfied, so it was more appropriate to be friends than lovers. 3. Mei is very strong and very naturally prefers people she agrees with. She barely conceals her likes and dislikes. After making up her mind, she is able to bravely and straightforwardly admit her secrets, so she has the prerequisite to "break the ice". Once the ice was broken, Mei immediately became close to and partial to Haruka, but she still had a very proud character. In her heart, Haruka was much more important than others as her best friend. Mei's story comes from the extension of Ningji's story. It was mostly believed that she "should live out her life like all the Hyuga clan members". This is how the lives of other Hyuga families are spent, including her most trusted relatives. Anyway, they all accepted the caged bird in the end and endured it for the rest of their lives. Who would know or care that they also experienced pain and resistance? Hyuga Hizashi and Neji both died with caged birds. Even in the plot, they gained spiritual freedom, but spiritual freedom is not equal to physical freedom. There is still a blind spot in the separation of the family, and the fate is still in the hands of the Zong family. This fact cannot be erased. Therefore, Mei has the entire mental journey of the previous volume. She thought about accepting her fate and resented her parents. Since they loved her, why did they let her be born in such an environment? Not only Mei Yi has this kind of struggle, many teenagers in the Hyuga family had the same struggle when they were growing up, so a plot was arranged where they hinted that Mei Yi finally learned the true purpose of the caged bird. As a person with a fierce personality and talent, and having experienced Hizashi's death, it became extremely difficult for Mei to accept this fate. She is like Neji, but not Neji, and is the epitome of another kind of resistance. One of the reasons why Mei and Haruka can become good friends is because they both have a strong inner side, a side that doesn't care much about certain things, and they are both very motivated to study. They noticed each other even before further contact began. Itachi also has the above characteristics, and Itachi has the awareness of "helping and protecting others" than they do, so Haruka and Itachi developed into friends earlier than Mei. The relationship between Mei and Haruka changed after the conflict broke out. They saw the real each other and reached mutual understanding and recognition. They both believed that they should resist the fate of the caged bird. This is another side of Mei and Haruka that are similar. They have strong personalities and hate restraint, and have the same thoughts as Itachi. If all three of them have the desire to become Hokage, then a large part of Mei's motivation is "I want to prove that I am the best and I pursue excellence"; Haruka's motivation is "I think I have this ability, so I decided to do it"; Itachi's motivation is more of "using this identity, I can achieve many things for my ideals". Although ideals are essentially self-satisfaction, most of his ideals are altruistic. When he is restrained, Itachi tends to consider the overall situation, while Mei and Haruka tend to resist. When Haruka heard about the secret of the caged bird, she told Mei that "there are some extreme methods." She thought that since the caged bird could not overtly defeat the Hyuga clan, she could use secret methods to assassinate them, such as poisoning. Mei Yi said that it was not that she had never thought about it. She did think about getting rid of the Zong family as a way, but her thoughts were not as concrete as Yao's. The reverence for life was like a wall, preventing Mei from thinking deeply. Haruka is essentially a rather cold and bold person. Mei imagined exchanging fates with Haruka. In that case, Haruka would not cover up the mark of the caged bird, but let everyone see it. Mei will still strive to be the first in her grade. In addition, they are also two girls who lack expectations for love. Both Mei, whose parents have a deep affection, and Haruka, who is a single parent, are aware of the impact of marriage and childbearing on women's careers to a certain extent. As a beneficiary, it is difficult for men to realize it personally. Mei and Itachi know each other's existence, but have never officially gotten along. Why didn't they become friends? Generally speaking, Mei's love and hate are strong and clear, and she cares more about her personal feelings. She doesn't like Itachi's introverted and repressed character very much. Before she was carved as a caged bird, she was basically in a state of being a proud one, so some people would ridicule her and "think she is the eldest lady of the clan." Although Itachi is the son of the clan leader, his approach to things is very different from that of Mei. They have no interest in getting along with each other (if they have to get along, Mei will probably find Itachi to be annoying, and Itachi will find Mei to be difficult to deal with). I have written about some small details before that hinted at their different preferences. Mei hates natto, which happens to be what Itachi likes to eat. Ran and Mei love to eat spicy food, which implies that Ran has a passionate nature, so between Ran and Misaki, Mei is more inclined to Ran. 4. Universal concept When I was writing about the setting of Uchiha Izumi, I thought of a description, "Izumi is a girl who is very popular in this world," and then found that it was a very suitable starting point for the topic. The universal concepts referred to here are probably "school, work, retirement", "love, marriage, childbirth", etc. I think most people will agree with the values ​​​​and experience life. Kunoichi may remain single (Tsunade, Anko), or they may become full-time wives after having children (Mikoto). After marriage, Sakura and Hinata are the ones who take more care of the family. There are indeed many women in Neon who become full-time wives after marriage. In Japanese comics, there are many images of "wives" who wear aprons and mainly take care of the family and support their husbands and children. At the same time, except for the "wife" side, the shaping of other aspects of female characters after marriage has been greatly weakened, such as Kushina who dreams of becoming Hokage. The image of Izumi who is a "lover" was added to the Itachi Shinden anime, and she was created specifically for this purpose. I wonder what everyone thinks about her character creation and future development when they see the plot of Animation Izumi? To be honest, my reaction after reading the plot was that if the Uchiha genocide had not happened, Izumi might have ended up becoming Mikoto. Based on the "universal concept" in Naruto, it is a high probability that he will be shaped like this. Hence my setting of Quan in the opening sentence. From Hirano's point of view, Izumi and Itachi are relatively compatible. Not only him, if you interview the villagers of Konoha, you will find that their thoughts have this tendency to some extent. If Itachi were to grow up and become the successor to Fugaku, wouldn't his wife be a woman like Mikoto? (Digression: I read a BG fanfic many years ago. The male protagonist is a villain in the original work, and the female protagonist is an ordinary person who was helped by the male protagonist before he was blackmailed. She fell in love with the male protagonist. Some readers hate the female protagonist because although the female protagonist says she loves the male protagonist, she cannot make up her mind to "wholeheartedly" help the blackmailed male protagonist's career because of her own views, and is "unworthy" of the male protagonist. What kind of person is worthy of the male protagonist? Naturally, it is like "Mikoto".) Using "universal concepts" to measure a person, appearance, ability, character, and origin are scored separately. There is not much difference between the scores shown by Izumi and Haruka. Izumi's score for birth and personality is higher than Haruka's. Haruka doesn't have any family influence or blood inheritance, while Izumi has a gentle and friendly personality. Even if they can't become friends, everyone will have a good impression of her. Haruka's personality is almost the opposite. In addition, Quan conforms to the secular impression that "women's character and abilities should not be too strong" and "if a girl has a crush on or likes a boy, she will get married and have children in the future". She is a person who is more in line with "normal" standards, so she has extra points. Like other Uchiha, Izumi is also bound by the world's concept of the Uchiha clan. Some people hate her because of her origin and think that it is impossible for her to get out of the Uchiha. The stereotypes of personality, gender, and origin have given Quan a positive or negative buff. It's unfair to judge a person in advance like this. Quan was unknowingly enveloped and troubled by "universal concepts". If Mei's bondage is that she was born into a family, and Haruka's bondage is birth and blood inheritance, then Izumi's "bondage" is that she is not extraordinary enough. Before realizing the plight of the Uchiha clan and deciding to step into it, Izumi was a person who lived his life well. He neither had the strong desire to prove himself like Mei nor was out of place like Haruka. For Haruka, the secret to happiness is something to be discovered and learned, not for Izumi. Quan is good at finding happiness and happiness in ordinary things. For example, if you want to make a birthday cake for a friend, Izumi can make it with happiness and gratitude, and enjoy the process; Haruka will treat it as a goal that needs to be completed, and the process will give her the same feeling as doing homework or doing experiments. Therefore, Quan can not only obtain the happiness of family wholeheartedly, but also obtain the happiness of work and singlehood. Haruka is not a person who uses happiness to describe her ideal life state. What she pursues is comfort. Izumi and Haruka also vaguely "see the real each other." They have a tacit understanding of each other. Because they are very different from each other on the inside, they cannot and will not want to become like the other person, even if they share some of the same goals. Because of this, they failed to become friends with each other during school. If the genocide had not occurred or if Izumi was also a survivor, Haruka and Izumi would probably have the kind of relationship where they would have a casual drink of tea and snacks together after meeting each other (even if it was late at night). However, my original intention was to write a story with irreparable shortcomings based on the genocide, so such a scene did not happen in the text. Yao, who has an eccentric temperament, has no heir who can make her stand out; Quan, who understands the happiness of daily life, has no chance to continue living such a life. When Haruka wanted to understand what happened to his friend, he was blocked by blood inheritance and origin, and had no resources to pursue the truth; when Izumi worked hard to move towards a more important position out of concern for himself, the clan and Itachi's future destiny, it was too late. This is what happened to them. Just as Mei represents the fate of the Hyuga branch in the first volume, Izumi represents the fate of the Uchiha people outside the political core. At the age of eleven or twelve, Izumi, like Ran, Misaki, Mei, and Haruka, are in a stage of exploring the path of girls. They have not yet truly recognized the value of women in any "universal concept". Likewise, they have not established any political stance or values ​​in life. Everything had just begun, and she hadn't had time to figure out how to live her life. There are many other possible futures for Izumi. Unfortunately, her future came to an abrupt end on the night of the Genocide, which is very regrettable. For those who realize this, genocide is by no means as simple as sensational news, but a terrible crime and tragedy. Chapter 66 was a very heavy chapter for me to write and I didn't want to look back. The villagers of Konoha did not want the Uchiha clan to be exterminated, and the Uchiha clan was not targeting the villagers subjectively. Darkness happened between the two. 5. Finally, let's talk about Haruka and Itachi. They are everywhere mirroring each other. Haruka "benefits himself", while Itachi "benefits others". Haruka is very utilitarian in maintaining social relationships. She seems to greet her neighbors politely or help out in a normal way, because building neighborly relationships can be mutually beneficial, not because she likes to get along with others or is kind. The people she wants to reach out to are either interesting to her or helpful to her. Itachi, Shisui, Grandma and Grandpa Kazama, Asuma, Ran Inuzuka, Anko, etc. All met the standard. Even when she first paid attention to Mei, she thought that Mei could spar with her. Because of "self-interest", Yao can feel the rareness of "altruism", so he especially appreciates people who can selflessly contribute to others. And she herself is also willing to pay. She realized early on that only mutual benefit can maintain the relationship. She said that although she hates washing dishes, Keiko has already cooked, so washing dishes has become her responsibility. Haruka and Itachi have many similarities in their natures. They actually have the same background - alienation. After being born in this world and able to think, they all observe everything around them with the eyes of an outsider. Itachi grew up in love, so he chose to love, but he always showed alienation. It can be seen that he does not like to get along with others. He prefers to be independent. When nothing happens, he is not close to his classmates and peers. Therefore, he is easily misunderstood and cannot interact with people as cheerfully as Shisui. He would try to help his classmates when they encountered difficulties that they couldn't handle. This was how his relationship with Kamano and Denma improved. During the new Second Class period and after entering ANBU, Itachi's relationship with his companions broke through the ice much faster than before. This is a reflection of his growth and learning to better understand and empathize with others. But changes in the external environment interrupted this process. Haruka and his acquaintance did not experience any barriers like Kamano and Denma. This was because when they first met, Itachi put her in a position where she encountered difficulties and needed help. Later, she found that they still had curiosity and resonance with each other, so they successfully developed into good friends. Haruka and Itachi are both very special beings in each other's hearts. Itachi's constant choice and learning to love is a big reason why he is special to Haruka. And Haruka meant to Itachi a transcendent part of life, where they both looked at things that few others looked at. They have no requirements for each other, but know what kind of person the other is, and simply hope that the other can achieve their wishes happily. Due to his personality, Haruka will make the decision to leave Konoha regardless of whether there is something about the Uchiha clan or his own life experience. She is a gray person, but there is no need to do anything extraordinary before, so she needs to be vaccinated first.
