The Fourth Calamity in Konoha

You played a game that claimed you could make friends with absolute certainty. Your identity and background were randomized from the start. You landed as an ordinary orphan and were just about to find an NPC worthy of a player, then begin your happy journey of best-friend bonding, when you died.

After countless reloads, you finally survived the game's malicious setting.

You died countless times, but you really did gain the touching friendship the game advertised! the player declared loudly.

Later, you looked at your status panel and saw not a single friend icon. Feeling deeply scammed, you turned evil.

You reloaded, then immediately set out to blow up this garbage world. But a crowd of nasty NPCs with all kinds of strange eyes rushed over to stop you. They even locked you up...

In the end, you blew up the world and unlocked a hidden CG: [Buried Alongside the World]

Until one day, you opened the game again. Countless pairs of dark, inscrutable eyes stared at you, and the friendship icon that had remained inactive finally lit up, a deep and shadowy red. At last, you understood:

The NPCs had definitely been lying when they said "tomodachi" meant friendship!!

[Helpful reminder: The usual friendship icon is green. The official game has no colors other than green.]

■ NPC POV ■ Naruto guys with obsessive love ■

They suppress it fiercely, restrain themselves with all their might, and try hard to keep it in check, but their overwhelming love is like moonlight spilling everywhere, impossible to escape.

No matter what we do, we can never reach the real you.

Why won't you look at me? Why won't you watch me? Why won't you give me your true feelings...

Love me, love me, love me, love me, love me

It's okay. It's okay if you don't love me. Then just stay here with us.

Don't go. Let's be together forever.

Theme: Friendship lasts forever
