Ryoha's eyes flashed with a crazy light, making Yugao, who was at the side, shocked. This man actually had such a terrifying idea to dominate the entire Ninja World?
That was a crazy goal. And his goal was actually to live the life he wanted to live. Wasn't this goal the same as hers? What she wanted was to live the life she wanted to live. It was just that the two of them pursued it in different ways. For the first time, Yugao found that she really wanted to re-examine the man standing next to her with a new gaze.
This kind of person was very attractive because he had a crazy goal that ordinary people could not understand, and also had the ability to achieve these goals.
Otherwise, there would not be a saying, "A man is the most handsome when he is working seriously". Ryoha was the embodiment of this saying. With his powerful aura, No one would dare to look down on him.
"Do you think I am unreasonable? Other people want to rule the world for power, but I am completely different. Maybe I am just a bit short-sighted."
Ryoha suddenly laughed at himself. He came to a big stone and lay in front of it, looking at the clear sky. He was not troubled by the hot weather around him.
"Maybe so. Look at you, living such a carefree life." Yugao looked at Ryoha a little enviously. She could see that Ryoha was completely different from her. The sadness in her heart had always been with her. All the killings she experienced kept haunting her all her life.
"I have never been lonely since I came to this world. When I was young, I had Bulma, and when I grew up, I had Haku. Later, there were more and more people around me, and I was very happy. To protect this peaceful life, I need to be strong. This is one of the most important reasons for me to become strong, Hehe."
Ryoha said with a chuckle.
"I really envy you because I have always been alone." Yugao was right. She was Konoha's Anbu. When she was a child, she was an orphan adopted by the village. She had always lived in the dark world. Later, she met Hayate, the pale man with an unexplained chronic cough illness.
Due to Anbu's workload, they had less time to meet. Now, because of Hayate's illness, every time they met, they would meet in the hospital. It was really boring. They didn't have much chance to act like normal lovers. Every date was a hospital date.
But Yugao was still happy about this. Because this way, she had a feeling that she was still a woman, not a cold-blooded demon who only knew how to kill people. Only at that time did she have a feeling that she was also an ordinary woman. There were also times when she would do good things for people.
Every time she visited the hospital, she felt that she was also an ordinary person. The sadness in her heart disappeared a lot. Later, when Hayate was killed, she did not even have the chance for hospital dates anymore. She did not even have the chance to be an ordinary woman. She wanted to cut the person who killed Hayate into eight pieces.
In the end, she had never experienced intimacy between lovers. There was no fun or anything. Hayate was truly blessed. Yugao's beauty was almost wasted on him since he could only be with her in the hospital.
Not to mention the intimacy between lovers, they never had the chance for normal dates such as shopping dates, movie dates, or even dinner. Maybe it was because of this sad experience, Yugao was very persistent about having an ordinary and stable life, so in many people's eyes, she was very easy to satisfy.
Every time they met, Yugao would be happy just to be able to see Hayate. It already comforted her cold heart.
In fact, she herself was not sure if she really wanted to kill Baki for revenge, despite the latter's actions which robbed her of ordinary life. She had yet to sort her emotions. She didn't want to be such a ruthless woman who was continuously seeking revenge.
"You have to change your way of life. If you keep remembering your dark days, your heart will never be at ease. Just let it go, so you can see more from this world. You will find that the stronger you are, the happier you will be."
"It's very simple to live a simple life. Aren't you grateful for your life now? If not, based on our relationship, you shouldn't be standing here and chatting so casually with me. You should have pulled out your sword to attack me and kill me." Ryoha teased.
"I am already living a normal life now. Yes. I am no longer Yugao of the Anbu, but a woman, an ordinary woman. I can live the life I like. With my strength, I can live the life I've always wanted."
Yugao seemed to have encountered reached the Buddha's enlightenment. She felt reborn. Her mind was clear as the sky. She was finally able to abandon her previous dark days. Ryoha's words had a great effect on her.
She found it funny to find that she was already living the life she wanted. It was just that she did not know, and she was still pursuing in a daze after all these years. The so-called killing, the so-called battle, was just a test that made her life easier.
It was the same as people going to work in society in order to live, going through all kinds of tests, and facing all kinds of difficulties. The pattern was just a bit different.
"You're right. Then, should we have a contest of life and death now? Shadow Clone Slash!" Yugao fully displayed a woman's fickleness. A moment ago, she was still calm, but she changed drastically. She summoned three shadow clones and began to swing her sword at Ryoha.
"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Sparks of light appeared around them. The four slashes from Yugao were all blocked by the four bone stakes that grew out from Ryoha's body. Yugao wasn't able to respond or resist at all. Her vision got a bit blurry, but she only felt a pain in her forehead. Ryoha gently flicked her forehead, pushing her entire body away.
"A contest of life and death? Yeah, right. But today, as a reward for accompanying me for a half day, I won't kill you. Next time, if you still want to live when facing me, you have to accompany me for a full day."
Ryoha smiled happily. It was also quite pleasant to be with this woman. Seeing the sadness in her eyes slowly disappear, he felt a bit happy. No wonder Naruto liked to use his Mouth Release so much. The power of the Mouth Release was not ordinary.
