The Land of The Cherry Blossom and the Return of the Deceased Princess, Konohana

Very long chapter. Also, featuring some Genshin Impact characters and one Honkei Impact character including monsters

No One P.O.V - Dream

Sakura was standing in a wide field, surrounded by the many rows of cherry blossom trees. She was confused about why she was there. Before she could start moving, she heard a voice

"Please..."

'Huh...?'

"Please... Help her..."

'Her? Her who?'

"Please... Save my mother... help her move on..."

Dream end

Then Sakura woke up with a gasp from the dream. She can still feel her heart beating quite fast. She slowly got up from her bed as the sweat falls down from her face

'What was that dream...? I keep having that dream ever since we came back from the crazy adventure on the island...' Sakura thought to herself as she got out from bed

She went to the bathroom to wash her face

'I look terrible. I hope everyone won't notice' Sakura thought as she started to wash her face and started to get ready to go to work

Pigsy's Noodles

When Sakura got to work, she saw MK sweeping the floor, Pigsy was prepping, Tang was reading, and Mei was on her phone. When she got inside, Tang was the first to noticed

"Sakura? Are you feeling well?" Tang asked as he looked at his niece with a worried look

"I'm fine. Why?" She asked

"Well, you have dark circles under your eyes" Tang said

"I promise I'm alright" Sakura said and Mei got too close to her face, invading her privacy

"No, your not. I think you should talk to Sandy. Maybe he can help" Mei said

"Help with what?" Iris asked as she and Kyubi, who was in his human form entered the shop

"Well... Look at her" Mei said as she moved Sakura in front of the duo and they looked shocked at the state she's in

"What happened to you?" Kyubi asked

"...I have been having these dreams lately" Sakura admitted

"Dreams? What kind?" Iris asked

"The dream takes place at this wide field, surrounded by rows of cherry blossoms, and... I heard a voice" Sakura said

"A voice?" Kyubi asked

"It kept telling me to save her or help her move on, but I have no idea who though" Sakura said

"How long did you have those dreams?" Iris asked

"Since we got back from the island..." Sakura admitted

"That long?! But that was a month ago!" Pigsy shouted

"I know..."

"Why didn't you tell us?" MK asked

"I thought it'll go away over time, but it didn't..." Sakura said

"Interesting... Brother, do you have any idea what her dream means?" Iris asked

"To be honest, I have no idea. Maybe the Lotus prince might know" Kyubi said

"Nezha? He might know" Sakura said "I'll go after work"

"No way, you go see him now" Iris said

"But work..."

"You can't work looking so tired. So go see the lotus prince" Pigsy said

"If you say so..." Sakura said and she started to leave the shop "I'll see you guys later"

Once she stepped out from the shop, she pulled out a cherry blossom petal and opened up a portal to the Celestial Realm

Sakura P.O.V

Once I walked through the portal I created, I was in the Celestial Realm. I started heading to Nezha's palace

'I hope Nezha can help me with my problem...'

"Sakura?" I turned around to see who was calling me and I saw Azure "What brings you here today?"

"I'm heading to see Nezha. I wanted to ask him something" I said

"Something you wanted to ask him? Like what?" Azure asked

"Well..." I started to explain about the dream I keep having dreams from last month and I still have them, and I told him about the recent dream I had with the voice

"I see. You had this dream since we got back from that island. But for the voice, I'm afraid I have no knowledge about it" Azure said

"I see... That's okay, I hope Nezha might know about it" I said

"If I might know what?" We turned around and we saw Nezha along with Huli, Yellowtusk and Peng

"I needed to talk to you about this dream I've been having since last month..." Then I started to explain about the dream as we went to Nezha's palace. I finished explaining by the time we got to the guest room

"I see... Quite particular" Nezha said

"Indeed. Based from what I heard from your story, it sounds like you explained about Konohana's homeland" Yellowtusk said as he poured some tea into the cup

"Konohana's homeland?" I asked

"Yes. The Land of the Cherry Blossoms. I read about her homeland from a long time ago" Nezha said

"Do you have the book?" I asked

"Yes, I do. I'll go grab it. I'll be back in a moment with the book" Nezha said as he left to get the book

"So, how are you guys doing? Everything good?" I asked as I took a sip of the tea

"Yes. Everything is good" Yellowtusk said

"That's good. I'm glad everything is good" I said

"But I do wonder what your dream is trying to tell you?" Azure asked

"I agree. There must be some meaning about the dream including the voice" Peng said, and Nezha entered the room with the book in hand

"I found the book" Nezha said as he placed the book on the table "I hope it'll help understand what your dream is trying to tell you"

I opened the book and the first page showed the same scenery I saw in my dream

'The endless rows of cherry blossom trees...' I turned to the next page and read a sentence about how one of the children of the royal family has the ability to speak to someone through their dreams 'One of Konohana's siblings were trying to communicate with me?'

After reading the book, the only clues I got from the book were the rows of cherry blossom trees and how one of Konohana's siblings has the ability to communicate through dreams

"Well, the book helped me a little bit, but I wonder which of Konohana's siblings has the dream ability..." I said

"From what I know, I heard that one of Konohana's older siblings has the power to communicate through dreams" Nezha said

"So one of Konohana's siblings is trying to communicate with me? But what do they want with me?" I asked

"The answer must lay at Konohana's homeland" Yellowtusk said

"Wait a minute, are you saying we need to go to the Land of the Cherry Blossoms to get the answer?" Peng asked

"It looks like it is" Azure said

"Looks like I need to let my uncles and everyone know. Guys, pack your things, we're going on a journey!" I said

The next couple of days

After I told everyone about what I learned, they immediately started to pack their bags and Uncle Sandy started working on the ship. The ones who are coming are MK, Mei, Iris, Kyubi, Uncle Pigsy, Uncle Tang, Uncle Sandy, Monkey King, Macaque, Red Son, DBK, Princess Iron Fan, Nezha, Huli, Azure, Peng and Yellowtusk. I did ask if Spider Queen and her minions want to join, but they declined the invitation

'Maybe they're a bit traumatized after the last trip we all went on' I thought as I put my bag in Uncle Sandy's ship

"Looks like everyone are ready to go. Sakura, are you ready for the journey?" Uncle Sandy asked

"Yeah!" I shouted as I boarded the ship

When everyone got on board, Uncle Sandy started sailing

No One P.O.V - Couple of days later

As the ship sailed through the long sea, Nezha helped guided Sandy to where to go, and the gang kept themselves entertained with some games and some books that Sandy left for them. While Mei was going through everything in the ship, she found a karaoke box

She dragged the karaoke box to where the others are

"Hey, guys! Check this out!" Mei shouted

"Whoa! Is that a karaoke box?!" MK asked looking excited

"Oh, wow. I haven't seen this for a long time" Tang said

"Look at these great selection of songs!" Mei said as she looked through the song list

"No kidding! Sakura, you should sing this one!" MK said as he pointed at the song choice

"O-Okay" Sakura said

"Guys! Gather around! We're gonna hear Sakura's singing voice!" Mei shouted and everyone minus Sandy who was steering the boat gathered around and Sakura started playing the song

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

After Sakura finished singing, everyone cheered and applause

"That was amazing Sakura!" MK said

"Beautiful song my cherry blossom!" Red Son said

"That's our daughter in law!" DBK said

"Oh geez, you guys are making me blush" Sakura said as her cheeks turned red

"Hey, Iris, Huli, why don't you two sing a duet?" Mei asked

"A duet? Why?" Iris asked

"Because I think you two will look so cute" Mei teased, and Iris threw a pillow at Mei with her cheeks red

"I don't mind singing a duet" Huli said

"Huh?!" Iris looked surprised

"Why not? It could be fun" Huli said as he picked Iris up and headed to the karaoke box

Sakura handed both Huli and Iris a microphone

"I'm sure your voice is great" Huli whispered to Iris and her face turned bright red

"S-Shut up..." Iris whispered in a low tone and they both started singing

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

After they finished performing, everyone cheered

"Iris, Huli that was amazing!" Sakura said

"Let's hear it to from the cute couple!" Mei shouted, making both Huli and Iris turn bright red

"W-We're not a couple!" Iris shouted

"At least not yet..." Huli mumbled in a low tone

Azure and Peng grinned since they were the only ones who heard what Huli said

"Ah, young love" Yellowtusk said as he took a sip of his tea

"How far are we to the Land of the Cherry Blossoms?" MK asked

"We're close. I can feel it" Kyubi said

"Me too. Even though the land is surrounded by a barrier, I can still feel the familiar land" Iris said

"Wait, how do we get passed the barrier?" Red Son asked

"Well, we're gonna go through like normal. But once we leave, we'll lose our memory due to safety reason" Iris said

After Iris said that, the group felt a sudden sensation

"Woah, what was that?" MK asked

"That was the barrier. We just went through" Iris said

"Land ho!" Sandy shouted and everyone ran outside to see

As they looked outside, they saw cherry blossom trees, some buildings, people and a port. Sandy headed to the port to dock

Somewhere else in the Land of the Cherry Blossoms

In a cave far off from the palace and the town, a woman and an old woman were looking at the clay body that lays on top of the fire

"How long must I wait?" The woman asked

"It's almost ready. Soon your precious daughter will once again be part of the living" The old woman said as she muttered some type of spell under her breath and the clay body started to creak

As the creaks spreads throughout the clay body, once the clay body was creaked opened, sitting up was none other than Konohana

"Konohana! My sweet daughter!" The woman was about to hug Konohana, but the old woman shoved her to the side

"Stay away from her!" The old woman shouted

"W-Why? You brought her back to help me, right? Isn't that why?" The woman asked

"Ha ha ha ha! You fool! I have no desire to help you!" The old woman said as her form changed to reveal her true form

"W-Who are you?" The woman asked

"I am known as Mobius" Mobius introduced herself with a wicked grin "I have to thank you, without your help, I wouldn't have accomplished resurrecting the fallen princess. Now, I shall use the fallen princess to destroy this world!" Mobius declared

"No! Don't use my daughter for such things!" The woman pleaded and Mobius turned to look at the resurrected Konohana

"Too bad, your majesty. I brought her back and now she'll do as I command! Konohana, I command you to destroy your homeland! Start by getting rid of your mother!" Mobius commanded as she pointed at Konohana and used her magic to control her. As the spell wrapped itself around Konohana, but it failed

"What the?! What's the meaning of this?!" Mobius shouted as she headed towards Konohana and looked at the motionless Konohana "Why?! Why didn't my spell work?!" She grabbed Konohana by the hair and looked at her "What?! The body has returned but not the soul. It could only mean that the soul has already been reincarnated" Mobius grew angry and toss Konohana to the side "What a waste of magic clay and use of magic. This body is useless without a soul!"

"Konohana..." The queen crawled towards her unresponsive daughter

"I might as well dispose of this waste of a body" Mobius said as she lifted her hand up, but suddenly Konohana's head moved on its own and looked outside of the cave "What? How could she move without having a soul? Unless..." Mobius looked outside

Sakura P.O.V

Once Uncle Sandy docked the ship, we all got of the ship

"Woah, this place looks amazing" I said as I looked around the town, and both Mei and Uncle Sandy were taking pictures

"Indeed. I'm happy to see Konohana's homeland at last" Nezha said as the Brotherhood nodded in agreement

"Wow, so this is Konohana's homeland. This place looks amazing! It's just as Konohana explained in her stories" Monkey King said

"I agree" Macaque said

"I wonder what kind of food they serve here?" Uncle Tang asked as he started to drool

"Really, Tang? Is food all you think about?" Uncle Pigsy asked with a sweat drop

"I wonder what kind of tea blend they use?" Uncle Sandy asked

"Hey, Nezha, where should we go?" I asked

"Well, I suggest heading to the library if you have questions. The library here should have the answers that you all seek" A male's voice said from behind them. When we turned around, we saw a tall male with an albino snake wrapped around his shoulders

"Huh? Who are you?" I asked

"How rude of me. Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Baizhu. I'm first born prince of the land" Baizhu said

"P-Prince?!" We all shouted except for Nezha and the Brotherhood

"I see. It's a pleasure to finally meet you. I'm the Third Lotus Prince Nezha" Nezha introduced himself

"Nezha, huh? I see, so you're the prince that was engaged to my little sister" Baizhu said as he looked at Nezha "I see. At least I know why your name was on the list of candidates to see if they're worthy to marry Konohana. Not only do I see the Lotus Prince, but also the Demon Bull Family, Sun Wukong, The Six-Eared Macaque and the Brotherhood"

"How did you know about us?" Monkey King asked

"I did study each of you. Your names were in the books, both the good and the bad" Prince Baizhu said

"Oh great..." Macaque said as he facepalmed himself

"Excuse me, prince Baizhu" I called him out and he looked at me and had a surprised look. He immediately started circling me "What are you doing?" I asked

"Incredible. You look exactly like my late little sister" Prince Baizhu said

"I guess it makes sense because I am her reincarnation. My name is Sakura" I said and Prince Baizhu looked at with a shocked look

"Yeah, I was shocked too. But just because she looks like Konohana doesn't mean she and Konohana are the same person" Yellowtusk said

"That is true. But she still has her loving and caring nature" Peng said

"What is the reason for coming here?" Prince Baizhu asked

"Well... I've been having these dreams lately and I also heard a voice too. The voice kept telling me 'Please help my mother' but I have no idea who voice it belonged to" I said, and Prince Baizhu looked at me with a serious look

"Let's talk more at the palace. I believe I know who's trying to communicate with you" Prince Baizhu said as he started leading us to the palace

'He knows who it is? I wonder who?' I thought as we followed the prince

At the palace

After we walked for some time, in front of us was a huge palace

"Woah! This palace is huge!" I shouted and everyone chuckled at my reaction

"Shall we head inside now? I have some fresh tea and snacks already prepared for us" Prince Baizhu said

"BAIZHU!!!!" We jumped from the loud yell and we saw a woman running towards us

"What is it this time, Yelan?" Prince Baizhu asked as he let out a breath

"My model cancelled on me at the last minute! I don't have any available models to help me at the last minute!" The woman named Yelan cried

"Um... Excuse us, but who is she?" Uncle Tang asked

"This is my sister, Yelan. She's the first born princess and a seamstress" Prince Baizhu introduced

"Another sibling of Konohana..." I muttered under my breath and princess Yelan immediately grabbed my face and took a look at my face

"What are you doing?" Mei asked

"She's perfect!" Princess Yelan exclaimed

"For what?" Uncle Sandy asked

"Miss! Please be my model!" Princess Yelan asked as she grabbed my hands

"M-Me? A model?"

"I'm begging you!" Princess Yelan pleaded

"A-Alright..."

"To my studio!" Princess Yelan shouted as she started dragging me

No One P.O.V

"She hasn't changed one bit" Iris said

"Iris! I didn't notice you were here" Baizhu said as he looked at Iris with a surprised look

"Yeah. I'm just that good at hiding my presence" Iris said

"It has been really long time since we last saw each other. I'm glad you are doing well" Baizhu said and Iris nodded

"Prince Baizhu" Baizhu turned to see Kyubi

"Who are you?"

"I am Kyubi. Familiar of your late sister Konohana" Kyubi introduced himself

"Familiar? Interesting"

"Kyubi is also my older brother" Iris said and he looked surprised again

"Um... Should we catch up with them?" Pigsy asked

"We should catch up. Yelan has a habit of overdoing her work" Baizhu said as he started heading to Yelan's studio

Yelan's Studio

As the gang arrived at the studio, they saw Yelan going through her fabrics

"Yelan, you better not be overdoing it again" Baizhu said

"I can't help it! I never met someone who looks exactly like our late little sister!" Yelan said looking excited

"That's because she's the reincarnation of her" Baizhu said

"No wonder she looked like Konohana" Yelan said

"Where is Sakura?" Azure asked

"She's in the dressing room. Are you ready?" Yelan asked through the door

"Y-Yeah. I'll come out" Sakura said and the door opened to reveal Sakura in a dress that Yelan designed


"H-How do I look?" Sakura asked looking nervous

"You look amazing!" Wukong said as his tail was shaped into a heart along with Macaque

"You look very lovely dear" Princess Iron Fan said

"Kyaa! She looks absolutely adorable!" Yelan said as she hugs Sakura

"Geez, Yelan. Let the poor girl go before you suffocate her" Iris said

"Iris!" Yelan shouted as she ran towards Iris and hugs her "It's been so long! How are you?"

"I-I'm fine... Can you let go of me? I'm starting to lose some air..." Iris said as she tapped on Yelan's arm

"Sorry, I'm just so happy to you again. I can't remember the last time I seen you" Yelan said as she let go of Iris

"I think when I was a younger..." Iris said as she tried to remember

"Oh yes! During the time when I discovered my love for designing clothes!" Yelan said "You and Konohana were my only models at the time before I became a huge hit in the fashion industry!"

"I also remember how they always run away from you when it comes to trying on your newest clothes or accessories" Baizhu said as he remembered, then they heard someone walking into the Yelan's studio

"I was wondering what's the fuss is all about. To think we have company" A male's said as he entered the room

"Alhaitham, what a surprise to see you out of your study for once" Baizhu said

"I'm free to leave my study if I want to, you know" Alhaitham said and he looked at the gang "Interesting set of guests we have here. I didn't expect to see the Demon Bull Family, the monkeys, a dragon girl, and the Brotherhood. I was expecting the reincarnation of our late little sister" Everyone was left shocked

"I knew it. So you were the one trying to communicate with Sakura through her dreams. Why?" Baizhu asked

"Simple. We need her to help our mother move on already. She's been grieving far too long" Alhaitham said

"We all know, but we shouldn't force her to stop" Yelan said

"I know that, but what else can I do?!" Alhaitham said

"Um... Excuse me? But how did you know about me?" Sakura asked and he looked at her

"Sigh... I learned about you from my little sister Lumine. She and her twin brother Aether went to the Celestial Realm to do some investigation, but it was during the time when the Brotherhood dethroned the Jade Emperor" Alhaitham explained

"Oh! You mean the girl I found hiding in the kitchen. She's your little sister? I didn't see the brother though" Peng said

"That's because I was hiding the library in the Jade Palace" A male's voice from behind. The group saw a pair of identical twins entering the room along with another girl

"Are they...?"

"Yes. These two are the twins, Lumine and Aether, and this is Eula, the second born princess. And I'm quite surprised to see all of together again like this" Baizhu said

"I know, but mother was the one who told me to come home. She said something about a surprise. I hope it's something good, or I'll be mad cause I had to rush back home after my performance" Eula said

"Maybe she's ready to move on?" Lumine said sounding hopeful

"Let's hope. I really wanted to see our mother smile, I heard from father that mother has the most beautiful smile" Aether said

'They never seen their mother smile before?' Sakura thought and standing in front of her face was the twins and Eula

"Um.. Can I help you...?" Sakura asked as they stared at her face

"Hey, Lumine, she looks exactly like Konohana we saw in the portrait" Aether said

"You're right"

"Wait! Don't tell me..." Eula started to think for a moment

"She's..." Tang was about to say something, but Baizhu stopped

"Let her solve this on her own" Baizhu said as both Alhaitham and Yelan nodded in agreement

"I got it! You're the reincarnation of our late sister!" Eula said

"Y-Yeah..." Sakura said with a sweatdrop

"So many siblings..." MK and Mei said

"The twins are new though" Iris said

Then they heard the sound of running coming from outside, everyone looked outside and saw the soldiers getting ready for battle

"What's going on?" Kyubi asked

"I have no idea. We should speak to father immediately" Baizhu said and they all ran to the throne room

Throne Room

When they all got to the throne room, they saw the emperor giving out orders to the soldiers

"Protect the kingdom and the people from any danger! Go!" The emperor ordered and the soldiers immediately left the room

"Father, what's going on?" Aether asked

"My children, our kingdom are facing an invasion" The emperor said

"WHAT?!"

"Who would dare invade us?!" Alhaitham asked

"I have no idea. They appeared out of nowhere" The emperor said and he looked at Sakura "Huh? Konohana?"

"I apologize, but I'm not Konohana. My name Sakura" Sakura said

"It has been a long time, your majesty" Iris said as she walked next to Sakura

"Iris! It has been a long time" The emperor said

Then bursting though the doors was a soldier who was out of breath

"Y-Your majesty! We managed to evacuate the people, but the monster broke through the barrier!" The soldier said

"WHAT?!" Everyone flinched at the shouting as the emperor and his children ran towards the balcony and saw the monsters destroying the buildings of the village

"What are these creatures?" The emperor asked

"To be honest, father, these creatures were summoned by someone sinister" Baizhu said and the emperor looked at the twins

"You two, go somewhere safe now!" The emperor said

"What?! No way!" Aether shouted

"We want to help!" Lumine said

"You know the both of you can't. You have zero knowledge when it comes to fighting" Yelan said

"But, but!" The twins said in unison

"No buts! Butts are meant to sitting!" Yelan said

"But what should we do then?! The monsters are gonna destroy everything!" Sakura said

Then she was snatched by something or someone

"Sakura!" Her friends and uncles called out to her as she was being taken

"I knew it!" Sakura looked up and saw a woman holding her "You look exactly like her! I have plans in store for you! Plans to bring back Konohana!"

"Bring back Konohana? I really don't like the sound of that" Sakura said as the woman flew away

With the others

"Sakura!" Her friends and uncles called out her name, they all looked up and saw a woman in air holding Sakura under her arm and she flew away

"Mobius! I should've known this is her doing!" The emperor shouted

"Mobius? Isn't she demon witch?" Nezha asked

"I've read about her in one of the books when I was younger" Red Son said

"Mobius, she's known for prying on the weak hearts on the people who lost their loved ones and says she'll bring back the departed, but she uses the resurrected bodies to bend to her will until they're no longer useful" Yellowtusk said

"What is that witch planning to do with Sakura though?" Wukong asked, and Kyubi let out a loud gasp

"No... She's... She's gonna resurrect Konohana with Sakura's soul!" Kyubi shouted and everyone eyes' widen

"No! She mustn't bring back the dead!" Nezha shouted

"I agree. I refuse to let my late daughter to be used as a puppet!" The emperor shouted "I guess Mobius used my wife's sorrow to get what she wanted"

"And I know where the witch is hiding as well" Alhaitham said "We must leave now before we're too late"

They didn't waste time and they all left the castle in a rush

"We're coming too!" The twins said, but the older siblings didn't have time to argue as they continued to run out of the castle

"Please stay safe my children" The emperor prayed

Mountain

Sakura was laying in a stone tub and tied up. She was struggling to free herself. Then Mobius was dragging a jug and poured it inside the tub almost filling it up halfway

"Ugh! What is this stuff?! It smells so gross!" Sakura complained

Then walking out from the cave was a young woman with brown hair and red eyes, she was wearing a pink kimono that is suited for someone from a royal bloodline. Walking next to the young woman was a older woman, the young woman started looking the area and then she looked down at Sakura

"Huh? Who is that?" Sakura asked

"I see that you're finally dress. The attire of a princess most fitting for you lovely looks. I have done well to re-shape your body with human remains and soil. Now you require a human soul" Mobius said with an evil grin and the other woman looked sad

"What are you talking about?" Sakura asked

"The liquid I poured is my special herbal potion will soon suck the soul from your body. Konohana will have her soul and you will be among the living dead" Mobius said

'Konohana's soul? Then this girl is... Konohana?' Sakura thought to herself

With the others

As the gang climbed up the mountain

"H-How much longer?" Tang asked as he held onto Sandy's back

"Why are you acting like you've been climbing!?" Red Son, Nezha, Macaque, and Peng shouted in unison

"We're almost there. Just a little more" Kyubi said as he carried Iris and Huli was holding onto his back "Why are you on my back?!"

"Because I don't feel like climbing" Huli said

With Sakura

The herbal potion started to glow and Sakura was starting to get grossed out

"Ugh... This is so gross. I can hardly move" Sakura said

"Hmm... Interesting. Most of my victims would've succumbed to the potion by now" Mobius said then her body was surrounded by a bright light

"This light... It shows an angry light. The soul is seeking revenge, did something happen in her former life?" Mobius asked herself

The lifeless Konohana looked at the distance and saw the group finally reaching the top

"We finally made it..." MK said looking exhausted

"Guys, look! Sakura is over there!" Sandy said as he pointed where she is

"Help... Uncles... Please help me..." Sakura pleaded for help

"You all followed me here?!"

Wukong, Macaque, Nezha, Azure, and Peng widen their eyes

"No way..."

"It can't be..."

"Do not call out for me... Do not call out my name..."

"Wait! Don't call out her-!"

"K-Konohana..." Wukong, Macaque, Nezha, Azure and Peng called out her name

At that moment, Sakura felt her heart miss a beat and her soul bursts out from her body

"The soul is emerging!" Mobius shouted looking victorious

"Sakura!" Everyone called out to her worriedly

"The moment you all called out to her name, that girl's heart missed a beat! And Konohana's soul sprang forth!" Mobius shouted as the soul sprang out of Sakura's body and went towards Konohana's lifeless

As the soul left Sakura's body, the soul entered the lifeless of Konohana. Then after some time, the soul finished transferring into Konohana's body. Konohana touched her face as if she couldn't believe that she's alive

"No way..."

"Sakura's soul entered Konohana's body"

Pigsy, Tang and Sandy immediately headed towards where Sakura's body is

"Sakura! Please don't leave us Sakura!" Tang cried

"It's useless to talk to useless lump of flesh! But I don't mind feeding her to my demons later for dinner" Mobius said

"Mobius! How dare you use our sister's remains like this!" Baizhu shouted looking angry

"But isn't my creation perfect? I used her remains and soil to recreate her as living flesh and blood!" Mobius shouted

"Konohana... You're finally back to me!" The empress was about to run towards Konohana, but Mobius blasted her away

"Like I told you already! I'm planning to use her! Since I was the one who revived her, that makes me her birth mother! And as to her alliance to me, she shall obey me and follow my every command like the others! Now, Konohana, I want you to destroy-!" Konohana approached Mobius and placed her hands on her shoulders. Then she suddenly burnt Mobius alive "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh"

Then Mobius died

"Konohana...?" Iris called out her name as she slowly approached her, but immediately backed away before the sword slash could hit her "Woah!"

"Iris! Are you alright?" Kyubi asked

"Y-Yeah... That was close" Iris said

"No kidding. You would've been dead meat if you didn't step back" Huli said

"Iris... Why are you here? You were sealed inside the scroll..." Konohana said as she lifted up her head and everyone noticed that her eyes looked hazy

"Scroll? Could she be talking about when Iris was sealed inside the scroll from long ago?" MK asked

"I think so, kid" Wukong said

"Look at her eyes, don't they look a bit hazy?" Macaque asked

"You're right. Maybe we should try and help clear her sight" Yellowtusk said

"But how?" Peng asked

"Maybe tossing some water in her face? That helps me" Mei said and everyone sweatdrop

"Actually, use this" Alhaitham handed Azure a bottle

"What's this?" Azure asked

"It's potion. It'll help clear my sister's mind" Alhaitham said

"Did you always carry a potion with you wherever you go?" Yelan asked with a sweatdrop

"No time to ask questions. Use the potion when you have an opening, make sure she drinks it" Alhaitham said

"We'll try. Please watch over Sakura in our stead" Sandy said

"Don't worry, we'll keep her safe" Aether said

"Yeah, focus on helping our sister snap out of it" Lumine said

Konohana vs the Monkie Kids has begun

Konohana went into her fighting stance with her sword in hand. She charges towards the group (mostly at Iris) and the group managed to dodge the attack in time

"Hey! Stop going after Iris!" Huli shouted

"Be quiet!" Konohana shouted and Huli flinched "I'm going to put Iris back where she belongs! I won't be fooled by her again!"

"Fooled again? What does she mean?" MK asked

"...Before I was sealed away, my evil self lured Konohana somewhere isolated, and... she greatly injured Konohana..." Iris said

"What?!"

"Even though Konohana was greatly injured, she still managed to defeat my evil self. She asked Erlang to seal me away in the Scroll of Memory, but my evil self managed to split us into two. She roamed free while I was sealed inside the scroll" Iris explained

"Enough! If you have time to tell lies, then focus on the fight! Once I defeat you, I'll make sure you'll stay in the Scroll of Memory!" Konohana declared as she charges towards Iris

"Stop!" Tang stood in front of Iris and Konohana stopped her attack

"Tang! Are you crazy?!" Pigsy shouted

"Great Monk Tang Sanzang? What are you doing protecting her?" Konohana asked

"Um... You shouldn't hurt Iris..." Tang said

"Why? She hurt me deeply. I thought she was my friend, but to think she would betray me like this..." Konohana's voice started to tremble

"But that doesn't mean we should hurt them back. What good does that do?" Tang said and Konohana fell to her knees as she started to cry and Azure handed Tang the potion "Konohana, would you please drink this? I think you should have something to drink"

Konohana accepts the potions and drinks it. Then her head fell down for moment and she slowly lifted up her head and her eyes are no longer hazy

"Huh...? What am I...?"

"Sister!" Konohana looked up and saw her siblings heading towards her

"Baizhu? Alhaitham? Yelan? Eula? And who are these two?" Konohana asked

"I'm Lumine"

"And I'm Aether. If you couldn't tell, we're identical twins"

"Konohana..." The empress called out and Konohana looked at her mother

"Mother..."

"Oh, Konohana!" The empress hugged her "I'm so happy to see you again"

"But mother..."

"Let's head back to the palace. You must be starving" The empress said as she stood up and grabbed her hand, but Konohana didn't move an inch

"I'm sorry mother... But I must return my soul into my reincarnated body" Konohana said

"No! I just got you back! We're finally a family again!" The empress said

"Mother... I know you took my death the hardest, but I believe it's time to move on" Konohana said

"No! Please stay with me! I don't want to lose you again!" The empress shouted

"My love" Everyone turned around and saw the emperor

"Father! How is the kingdom?" Eula asked

"The kingdom is safe. The monsters had all vanished, so I rushed over here" The emperor said and he turned to look at his wife "My love, we all know how much you despaired, but we all suffered the loss of Konohana"

"But, but, but!"

"No buts. You should've talked to us and we would've come up a way to make you feel better. Help you move on" The emperor said

"I agree with father. Mother, you grieving over me far too long. Did you forget the lesson you taught me when I was younger?"

"A lesson?"

"Mother, you taught me those who depart from world of the living doesn't mean they're truly gone as long as we remember them. The moment we forget them, than they're truly gone" Konohana said as the empress wiped away her tears from her face

"How could I forget such a lesson? This lesson was taught to me by my mother before I got married" The empress said

"Father, mother, my siblings, I'm happy that I got to see you all again and meeting my new siblings. But I must return my soul into my reincarnated body" Konohana said

"Konohana, our time may be short, but I am glad to see you again" The emperor said

"I'm very glad to meet you again and meeting my twin siblings as well" Konohana said as she headed towards Sakura's lifeless body and she looked at Wukong, Macaque, Nezha and the Brotherhood "It's nice to see you all again as well"

"Konohana... I missed you so much" Nezha said and Konohana softly smiled

"I know. DBK, Princess Iron Fan, it's good to see you both again, Red Son, you've grown quite handsome" Konohana said "And I know you all will do great protecting my descendent, and may you have a wonderful future with her as well" Konohana started to giggle, and making all the males turn red

Konohana looked at the lifeless Sakura and closed her. Her body started to glow and the soul started to leave Konohana's body and going back into Sakura's body. After some time, the soul finished transferring into Sakura's body and Konohana's body started to disappear, leaving her royal kimono on the ground

"Sakura? Can you hear me?" MK asked carefully as he picked her up and her eyes started to slowly open up

"MK? What happened?" Sakura asked as she rubbed her head

"How about we save the explanation tomorrow? I'm pretty sure you all must be exhausted" The emperor said

"That'll be nice" Sakura said looking all tired and Azure picked her up in a bridal style

"We definitely need a break after today. I hope this place has a hot spring" Huli said

"Actually, we do. The hot spring is at the palace" Eula said

"A hot spring sounds perfect" Sakura said with a tired smile

Then they all started heading back to the palace to rest. In the hot spring, Iris and Mei were telling Sakura the events of what happened so far. Sakura looked shocked at what she heard. The next day, the gang were at the port getting ready to leave

"The barrier is broken, but you all are exceptions. Please come back to this land someday" The emperor said

"We'll love to see you all again" The twins said

"If we have time, we'll come back" Iris said

"Indeed. We could invite you to Sakura's coronation" Azure said

"Coronation?" The royal family asked looking confused

"Yes. Sakura will be crowned the Jade Empress of the Celestial Realm" Nezha said

"I think the Cherry Blossom Empress suits her better" Yelan said and the family nodded in agreement

"Please, do send us the invitation. We look forward to the celebration" The empress said

"We'll make sure you each receive your invitations" Peng said

"Until we meet again" Yellowtusk said

After saying their farewells, Sandy started sailing the ship and the group waved the royal family goodbye as they set sail back home to Megapolis
