The kind and pure Granny Sansho had run a curry shop in the village called the Curry of Life Shop.
Granny Sansho also had a son, but because he was weak and liked to give up, he was always bullied by others.
Just before today, her, Karashi, was still hesitating about joining the Kurosuki Clan to change his life.
However, after witnessing everything that had happened today, the frightened Karashi immediately discovered that inheriting this curry shop and continuing to operate it was his biggest 'dream'!
Fighting and killing were too terrifying, not suitable for him!
Especially when this Granny Sansho brought Konoha Ninja back to the store, Karashi was so scared that he almost cried out. Even when he poured the water, he kept trembling, as if he had reached the late stage of Parkinson.
Aoba looked at this guy speechlessly, because all the water was spilled outside.
But it was this look that scared Karashi so much that he fell to the ground, and the water in the water pot was sprinkled on the ground.
Seeing this, Granny Sansho drove him away helplessly and began to clean up the mess.
"Please don't mind it. Karashi is too timid, and he is a little clumsy when it comes to doing things. However, in terms of talent in curry, Karashi will surprise people!"
Looking at Granny Sansho's disappointed and proud expression, Aoba did not say anything and just nodded.
If not for the fact that he was going to find a place to rest, he would not have come.
As for the Curry of Life that the other party insisted on treating him to, he did not have too much expectations. After all, there were not many dishes that could make him feel delicious. He was even more indifferent about this Curry of Life.
However, in the process of waiting, Ranmaru was the first to wake up.
The moment he saw Aoba, there was a slight change in his eyes, but he immediately returned to his empty appearance.
This made Aoba sigh with emotion. If Naruto was here at this time, he would have already used his mouth to make Ranmaru release, making it clear that he had abandoned the darkness.
Unfortunately, he was very good at making false accusations.
For a time, he also thought it through.
Ranmaru's ability was only a layer of insurance for him.
Yes, of course, it was best.
No, it didn't really affect him.
After all, he wouldn't die so easily.
However, what he didn't expect was that Ranmaru actually spoke first.
"How will you deal with me?"
Aoba was stunned for a moment, then asked, "What do you think I should do to you?"
"If you want to kill me, you can do it just now. But, if you need me, I used to be Lord Raiga-sama's 'eye', and now I can also be your 'eyes'."
Ranmaru was very calm as he complained about his ability, as if he was a dispensable cargo, showing his value to the only 'guest'.
After listening to him quietly, Aoba asked a question that was actually unnecessary.
"I killed Kurosuki Raiga, and you are still willing to follow me?"
"Raiga-sama once told me that the fate of a ninja is death. Raiga-sama has long been prepared to welcome death, so even if the one who killed Raiga-sama is not you, it will be someone else. There is no difference."
"Since Raiga-sama's last wish is for me to live for Raiga-sama, then no matter how difficult it is, I will try my best to live."
"Even if I have to wagmy tail at you and beg for your mercy, I will live on."
At this moment, Aoba felt that his identity as an evil person had been hammered again!
Could it be that he was born to be a villain?
But what he did was clearly a good thing for the people to get rid of the harm. Why did he feel that he was a little guilty?
He shook his head, shaking off these thoughts that he shouldn't have.
He really looked at Ranmaru and asked, "Do you hate me?"
Ranmaru seemed to be stumped by this question. For a moment, he fell into a state of confusion and didn't give an answer.
When it came to hate, he should hate it. After all, the other party had killed his only reliance.
But on the other hand, he had seen all the bad things that Kurosuki Raiga had done. He also knew that Kurosuki Raiga had killed many innocent people.
Even Kurosuki Raiga had once told him that one day in the future, he would also be killed.
He had also told him that there was no need to avenge himself, saying that it was actually a kind of relief.
So should he hate?
Ranmaru did not know how to answer this question.
After all, no matter how mature he was, his age was right here. It was normal for him to not understand many things.
"Don't worry, you will live well. Since you can't answer now, think about it slowly. As for becoming my 'eye', you are far from enough now."
"Let's make an agreement. It will be one or two years, or maybe three to five years. When we meet again next time, I will give you two choices according to your answer."
"Even if you want to take revenge on me, I will give you this opportunity. But at the same time, once you choose this path, it means that you have to be prepared to be killed by me."
Aoba had already decided to leave Ranmaru here first.
Although he did not know how long he would be undercover in Konoha, it was always right to make a few more preparations in advance.
Moreover, Ranmaru's power needed to be willingly used. There was no need to force it to stay by his side. It was better to let time wipe out everything.
Even if it did not work, he would not be disappointed, because he did not have much expectation from the beginning.
Ranmaru agreed after hearing it.
Because he needed time to find an answer.
At this moment, Granny Sansho's Curry of Life came up as well, and it was two portions.
When Aoba saw this thing, he was instantly stunned!
This red color was even worse than the spicy curry he had once treated Guy to!
If he finished this, he would be able to see the future image of his 'chrysanthemum crippled'.
"This is Curry of Life that symbolizes life. Hurry up and eat it. After you finish eating, you will definitely be able to comprehend the true essence of life." Granny Sansho smiled brightly.
Aoba secretly swallowed his saliva. Although it looked quite spicy, it smelled quite fragrant.
It should be okay.
Aoba, who was crazily salivating because of the spicy taste, finally made up his mind and took a bite.
Then, at a speed visible to the naked eye, a crazy red rushed from the neck all the way to the top of the head!
"Ah! It's so spicy!"
"How could it be so spicy!"
"Water, Water, Water."
Aoba felt like he was going to die. It was as if he could spit out an S-Rank Fire Escape the moment he opened his mouth!
Then, he saw that Ranmaru was not afraid of death as she also sent a spoonful of Curry of Life into her mouth. Then, with a plop, Ranmaru blushed and directly fainted from the spiciness!
It was fucking your lungs!
