"D-Doctorrr!!"
He is not breathing at all.

Yamato wake up,u can't leave me, Sakura's voice ringing in his ears.
After few seconds same voice whispered, I will give u my soul, but you need to rise and do my incomplete work, Mr. Yamato Sazuki.
3 days later, 9:39
Yamato slowly woke up from a long sleep and found himself in the hospital.
He saw Sakura, his wife, sitting beside him, looking after him while he rested.
Sakura smiled at him, and Yamato felt happy to see her.
He reached out and hugged Sakura gently. It felt nice to be close to her again after being unconscious for so long.
Sakura hugged him back, and Yamato felt comforted by her warmth.
They stayed like that for a while, just enjoying each other's company.
Yamato felt grateful to have Sakura by his side, supporting him through everything.
He knew that as long as they were together, they could face anything that came their way.
The president entered the hospital room and greeted Yamato, "How are you, Shadow King?"
The President of Eternal Enigma approached Yamato, his expression a mix of relief and admiration.
"Yamato," he began, "you've done it. Kaito has been defeated.
He faded into dust, vanquished by your unwavering resolve."
Yamato nodded, his heart heavy with the weight of their hard-won victory.
The emergency teams swiftly arrived, tending to the wounded and ushering Yamato and Takeshi to hospital for urgent care.
"You've become a legend, Yamato," he said. "The people know you now as the King of Shadows, a beacon of hope in a world consumed by darkness."
Yamato smiled weakly, grateful for the support of his friends and allies.
Though the road ahead would be fraught with challenges, he knew that he would face them head-on, guided by the strength of his shadow powers and the unwavering determination of his heart.
For Yamato, the journey was far from over, but as the King of Shadows, he stood ready to face whatever trials lay ahead.
The President stood before the assembled press, his voice resonating with pride and gratitude.
"Ladies and gentlemen," he began, "today, I stand before you to share a tale of bravery and heroism.
In the face of unimaginable darkness, a beacon of light emerged to lead us to victory."
The room fell silent as the President recounted the events of the battle against Kaito, the God of War, and the role played by Yamato, now known as the Shadow King.
He spoke of Yamato's unwavering courage, his selfless sacrifice, and his tireless dedication to protecting humanity from the forces of evil.
"As we stand here today, let us honor the bravery of the Shadow King," the President declared.
"His actions have inspired us all, reminding us that even in our darkest moments, there is always hope."
The press erupted into applause, their cameras flashing as they captured the momentous occasion.
Through the President's words, the world learned of Yamato's extraordinary feats, and his name would forever be etched in the annals of history as a true hero of humanity.
Yamato's strength returned gradually, and soon he received a call from the President himself.
Invited to an international gathering of the Eternal Enigma, Yamato felt a surge of purpose and determination.
Sakura, always by his side, helped him into a new, imposing black coat-a symbol of his newfound role and responsibility.
"Let's go, Sakura," Yamato said with a determined glint in his eye.
With a silent command, Yamato summoned Fafnir, the mighty dragon, to whisk them away to the headquarters of the Eternal Enigma.
As they soared through the skies, Yamato couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation for the challenges and adventures that lay ahead.
As Fafnir approached the headquarters, the guards panicked at the sight of the massive dragon.
Yamato quickly intervened, calming them down and explaining that Fafnir was under his command and posed no threat.
With the guards reassured, they allowed Yamato and Sakura to pass through into the headquarters.
They entered into the big room of 180 people from different countries.
As Yamato and Sakura entered the conference room, murmurs filled the air as people recognized him as the Shadow King.
Whispers of awe and speculation rippled through the room: "Is he really that powerful?" "What can he do?" Yamato remained composed as he took his seat, ready to address the assembly.
President of Eternal Enigma stood up and addressed the gathering, "Ladies and gentlemen, it is my honor to introduce Yamato, also known as the Shadow King.
His bravery and courage have saved countless lives, and his mastery over shadow has turned the tide in our favor."
Yamato stood up, his presence commanding attention. "Thank you, President. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve alongside the Eternal Enigma.
Together, we will continue to protect our world from threats like Kaito."
The room erupted into applause as Yamato's words resonated with hope and determination.
The American representative's question hung in the air, highlighting a valid concern. Yamato stood, meeting the gaze of each delegate in the room.
"I understand the concern," he began, his voice steady and unwavering. "My powers may still be a mystery, but rest assured, I am committed to using them for the greater good."
Sakura stood by his side, her presence lending support to his words.
"Yamato's strength lies not just in his powers, but in his character," she added, her voice carrying conviction.
"He has faced formidable challenges with courage and compassion."
President of Eternal Enigma nodded in agreement. "Indeed, we have full confidence in Yamato's abilities.
And with the combined efforts of our organization and allies, we stand ready to face any threat that may arise."
As Yamato's voice reverberated through the conference room, commanding silence, a palpable tension hung in the air.
His shadow army, a spectral host, took their positions around the room, their presence both awe-inspiring and unsettling.
The representatives and delegates, once abuzz with conversation, now fell silent, their eyes fixed on the shadowy figures that surrounded them.
A sense of unease settled over the room, each individual grappling with the realization of Yamato's power.
"Silence!" Yamato's voice rang out again, cutting through the tension like a blade.
His command brooked no disobedience, and the room fell into an eerie stillness, broken only by the soft rustle of fabric as the shadow army stood sentinel.
After few min conference over.
Yamato and Sakura left the conference room, their steps echoing softly in the hallway as they made their way back to their home.
The weight of the day's events hung heavy upon them, but they found solace in each other's presence.
As they walked, Sakura reached out and gently took Yamato's hand, offering him a reassuring squeeze.
"You did well in there," she said, her voice warm with pride. "I know it wasn't easy, but you showed them what you're capable of."
Yamato nodded, a small smile playing at the corners of his lips.
"Thank you, Sakura," he replied, his gratitude evident in his tone.
"But none of it would have been possible without your support."
They continued on in comfortable silence, the quiet companionship between them a balm to the lingering tension of the day.
As they reached their home, Yamato paused to look up at the night sky, the stars twinkling overhead like distant beacons of hope.
"We'll face whatever comes our way together," he said, his voice filled with determination.
"As long as we have each other, we can overcome anything."
With Sakura by his side, Yamato stepped through the door of their home, ready to face whatever the future held, knowing that together they will be happy.
In this moment Yamato become 30 years old, Sakura is 28 and Hikari is 23.
"Telephone ☎️ rings"
President: "Yamato, I have an important mission for you. There's an international tournament coming up, and each country can send five players. I want you to represent us."
Yamato: "I'm honored, President. I'll do my best to represent Eternal Enigma and our country."
President: "Good. But there's more. Before the tournament, I need you to tour Japan and find the strongest fighters to join you. We need a formidable team."
Yamato: "Understood, President. I'll start right away. Sakura, we have a mission."
Sakura: "I'm ready, Yamato. Let's find the best fighters Japan has to offer."
Hikari: "Oh Yamato, can I come too?"
Yamato: "Hikari, I appreciate your enthusiasm, but this mission could be dangerous. I think it's best if you stay with Lucius for now. He'll keep you safe."
Hikari: "But I want to help, Yamato! I can fight too!"
Yamato: "I know you're strong, Hikari, but this task requires experience and skill. Lucius will train you, and when the time is right, you'll join us."
Sakura: "Yamato's right, Hikari. Your safety comes first. Don't worry, we'll be back before you know it."
Hikari: "Okay, I'll trust you, Yamato. But promise me you'll come back soon!"
Yamato: "I promise, Hikari. Now go pack your things. Tomorrow we are sending you to Lucius."
Next day as Lucius arrived at Yamato's house, Sakura bid a tearful farewell to Hikari, knowing she was being sent away for her own safety.
Yamato and Sakura locked the door behind them and made their way to the President's office with a sense of urgency.
Upon reaching the headquarters, they were greeted by the President and his advisors, who were deep in discussion about the upcoming tournament and the need to assemble a formidable team.
President: "Yamato, Sakura, glad you could join us. We have an important task ahead of us."
Yamato: "What do you need us to do, sir?"
President: "We need to identify the strongest individuals in Japan to represent us in the tournament. We're counting on you to find them."
Sakura: "We won't let you down, Mr. President."
With a sense of purpose, Yamato and Sakura set out on their mission to scout the nation for the best of the best, knowing that the fate of their country rested in their hands.
President and Yamato shakes hand.
