Chapter 99 "Born to Death"
Chapter 99 "Born to Death"
In the inn of Yunin Village.
Gui Deng Shuiyue kept rubbing it with his fingers, carefully feeling the cut of the broken knife, and his expression kept changing like gradually heated water -
this face changed from disappointment and regret at the beginning, to doubt and curiosity, and then turned into a child's discovery. The excitement of a new toy then intensified.
"Teacher, how did you do it?"
He pointed the cross section of the knife at Yiyong.
"The feel of this section does not look like it was broken with great force, otherwise it would not be so smooth. According to theory, your tattered chakra knife should be far less strong than the Thunder Sword and Thunder Fang Cai. Right."
It's incredible.
The seven ninja swords of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen are the greatest wealth of Kirigakure Village. Each one is worth tens of millions individually, and its quality is evident.
Among them, the Thunder Blade and Thunder Fang are chakra weapons specially used to guide and amplify lightning. They must be able to withstand extremely high temperatures, so their hardness is also the first to bear the brunt, but now it looks like this.
Therefore, Gui Deng Shui Yue cannot but be curious.
"I'm not your teacher."
Yiyong emphasized this for an unknown number of times.
However, after stressing, he still patiently answered Gui Deng Shuiyue's doubts.
He stretched out his right hand and put his index and middle fingers together. A transparent water blade with an edge that was rolling like a chain saw suddenly appeared and made a hissing sound.
Gui Deng Shuiyue seemed to understand something, and immediately handed the half of the thunder blade with the handle towards the water blade, and then he saw as expected - the
water blade rolling at high speed on the edge, actually slowly passed from the blade of the thunder tooth. It cut in and kept making harsh neighing noises, as if the broken knife was wailing in pain.
During the battle last night, the Black Hoe Thunder Fang, which could use the weather to perform large-scale thunder escape, did cause a lot of trouble for Yiyong at first.
But with the expansion of Nagi, the final form of Water Breathing, no matter how powerful the Thunderbolt hits Giyuu, it will only be decomposed into chakra to replenish himself.
In desperation, Black Hoe Lei Ya had to fight in close combat with Yiyong, but his ninja sword skills were really terrible.
The two of them fought less than three times, and he could only barely defend himself by raising his two swords. It was at that time that the Thunder Sword and Thunder Fang were cut (sawed) in pieces due to the force of resistance with Giyuu's water blade.
The next second, Black Hoe Lei Ya lost his life.
Back to the present.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Gui Deng Shuiyue dropped his Lei Ya on the ground like he was throwing away garbage, pointed at Yiyong's right hand and said loudly: "Teacher, I want to learn this!"
As long as he thinks of his opponent when he fights with others, The desperate expression when the weapon was destroyed made Gui Deng Shui Yue feel a sense of joy for no reason.
One day ago, his dream was to master the seven ninja swords like his brother Ghost Man Yue, and learn various cool techniques for dismantling the enemy's body.
But now -
"When I learn this technique, I must use it to destroy all seven ninja swords! In this way, Kirigakure's most precious inherited treasure will be cut off! This is what I should cut off. Thing!"
Gui Deng Shui Yue used all four legs to crawl up to Yi Yong with a smile on his face, as if he was about to give the latter a shoulder massage.
"Teacher! I don't want this sword anymore. I don't know how to escape, so I might as well keep it in exchange for money! But as a reward for my disciples, how about you teach me this technique? I won't do it again until I learn it. I'm pestering you to learn other things."
"You guys really don't have any dignity at all..."
Kyuubi, who was lying on Giyuu's head, looked at Suigetsu and complained.
Gui Deng Shui Yue waved his hands indifferently: "In this world, strength is dignity! My eldest brother talks about this every day. A guy with only dignity cannot survive in Kirigakure Village!"
Yiyong looked at it. With the water blade at his fingertips, he looked at Gui Deng Shui Yue's longing face, thought about it carefully, and finally nodded.
"This is a reward for your help before. It has nothing to do with the so-called 'disciple's gift'. In any case, I will not teach you my sword skills."
Yiyong emphasized again, "The rest of our journey It's very dangerous. After teaching you this technique, you'd better leave!"
"Teacher, whatever you say is what it is."
Gui Deng Shuiyue received a satisfactory answer, with a warm face, and a picture of "I won't be hurt no matter what you say." expression.
"As for the ghost place in Kirigakure Village, how could you find it without someone to lead the way? It's as a disciple that I brought you teacher all the way to Mizukage, and then watched you kill him or be killed by him. What I should do! As for the danger, my eldest brother sent me to Yunin Village just to help me avoid danger, but what happened? If you hadn't appeared in time, teacher, I would have almost had my liver dug out and eaten... After much deliberation, Kirigakure Village is safer!"
"..."
[That's really good to say. ]
Yiyong was speechless, and secretly envied Gui Deng Shuiyue's gift of chatterbox.
At this time, his mental exhaustion had already reached the critical point, and he didn't want to tangle with the other party anymore, so he took out the "textbook" notes Itachi had prepared for him when he was learning water escape from the scroll, and took the first page from the loose-leaf buckle. down.
"Since you insist on following, just teach yourself. If you don't learn enough, come and ask me again."
"Oh!" Gui Deng Shuiyue happily took the piece of paper and glanced over it roughly.
The smooth font on the front is Uchiha Itachi's basic analysis of this technique, including the order and rhythm of the seals, as well as some knowledge of the nature and shape changes of chakra.
The printed fonts on the back are the "homework" of Yiyong's study. Including the trajectory of this technique in the chakra meridians and the tips for changing its form.
All in all, regarding the principles and operation methods of Water Blade Slash, this paper is much clearer than the Second Hokage's Water Escape Scroll.
Even Gui Deng Shuiyue didn't expect Yiyong to be so generous.
"Teacher! I will definitely learn this technique as soon as possible!"
[I hope you can spend more time...]
After doing all this, Yiyong resisted the urge to yawn and lifted the nine tails off his head. Place it on the table.
"What are you doing?!" Kyuubi roared angrily.
It's obvious that I have just started to feel comfortable!
It feels like a human being is forcibly pulled out of a warm quilt in winter.
"It will take a while before the ship is built. I have to rest."
Yiyong explained expressionlessly, but with the deep dark circles under his eyes, it was particularly convincing, "Before we go to sea, if you want to buy Hurry up and buy the things you need."
With that said, he put the water escape notebook in his arms, then took off the storage scroll and rolled it towards Gui Deng Shui Yue.
"If you must go to the Kingdom of Water with us, just buy some supplies for me; as for the things you want to buy, just treat them as reward."
At this point, Yiyong suddenly remembered something and added: " Well, my twin brother likes reading comic books. If there are any special comics here, please buy some for me and put them together with the other books in the scroll."
Anyway, it's a way to go, so I might as well ask this kid Well, after all, he is about the same age as Sasuke, so he should know what type of comics Sasuke likes.
"No problem! I promise to complete the mission!"
Gui Deng Shuiyue immediately patted his chest with such force that his jelly-like body dented. "Teacher, leave everything to me! Please feel free to rest!"
Yiyong was unable to refute. He stood up and pulled the sliding door leading to the inner room and walked in, like an old father returning home in 1996.
Gui Deng Shui Yue had sharp eyes, and he immediately noticed that there was a person with purple hair lying on the floor in the back room. He should be the child rescued by the teacher from Black Hoe Lei Ya.
As the sliding door closed, Gui Deng Shuiyue also withdrew his gaze, unfolded the scroll and poured out all the items classified as "books".
Gui Deng Shuiyue originally wanted to see if there were any villain books that he could refer to, but he didn't expect that he couldn't find the villain books, but instead he had many unexpected gains.
For example, the two books at the top, "Record of Major Events of Konoha's Past Hokage" and "Seals: Simplification and Efficiency", are written by Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tobirama Senju respectively.
Even if you are not a ninja, you still know these two most important names in the world, let alone Kiden Suigetsu.
"Oh, aren't these all school textbooks? The teacher is actually a student of Konoha Ninja School. No wonder he always says that he is not a ninja. I didn't expect that he is so good. He doesn't forget to review when he comes out to play. He is really hardworking."
Kyuubi jumped onto Suigetsu's shoulder, speechless at Giyuu's secrecy.
Anyone who sees these textbooks with obvious stances will guess that he is a student of Konoha Ninja School!
In this case, what is the use of the pseudonym "Tomioka Giyu"?
But Kyuubi turned around and thought, these books were forced into them by Sasuke, and maybe the paralyzed kid had forgotten about it.
What a careless guy! On the contrary, Purgatory Anjuro, who looks carefree, is actually as considerate as his hair.
"Well, why is this book covered with a book cover?"
Among the dozen textbooks, a special existence suddenly attracted Gui Deng Shuiyue's attention. "Is it the subject that the teacher treasures so much and reads it often, so it is covered with a book cover?" Did you take off the book cover??"
But as the cover was opened, Gui Deng Shuiyue's eyes suddenly lit up!
Kyuubi also showed an astonished expression!
Unexpected! Unexpected!
This little guy with facial paralysis who looks so serious could actually hide this kind of adult magazine secretly! He even wrapped the book cover with a guilty conscience!
"Is this the teacher's hobby? No wonder he looks so mature. It turns out it's because he likes to read 'adult books'."
Gui Deng Shuiyue flipped through the book very quickly. It was obviously not the first time he had read this kind of thing, but it was more He likes to kill people, but he has little interest in big sisters in swimsuits.
At this time, what flashed in his eyes was not the curiosity of a pre-pubescent boy about the opposite sex, but a special touch of cunning.
"It is a wise saying that you should never judge a person's preferences purely based on appearance.
" However, the standards of magazines from the Fire Country are still too conservative. It's hard to get to Yunin Village, so how can we go back without bringing some specialties? When the teacher discovers the gift I prepared for him, he will definitely feel understood! By that time, he might be moved and teach me everything! "
Thinking of this, Gui Deng Shuiyue did not hesitate. After putting away the things, he quickly left the room as if accepting a prize. Only his and Jiuwei's voices came through the crack in the door.
"Hey, are you going to do it now? Where to go? "
Of course I'm going to buy a collector's edition photo album of the big courtesans in Yunin Village!"
"Don't forget to wrap the book cover! "
"I know it without you having to tell me! " How could I embarrass the teacher? "
...
Meanwhile, inside, Yiyong knew nothing about what was happening outside.
He pressed the bridge of his nose, slowly walked to the purple-haired boy with his eyes closed, and sat down on his knees, looking like a corpse. Sweep from top to bottom.
"You're awake. "Yiyong was a little surprised.
The child's body was so weak. At first glance, there was no difference between being awake and sleeping.
Ranmaru, who had been exposed, opened his eyes, and his cute face was as numb as a wooden sculpture, looking blankly. Touching the ceiling.
"I just don't know how to face you. Even
though he said this, Ranmaru still turned his head and said, "I know you killed Raiya, but I don't hate you." Lei Ya and I both knew that this day would come sooner or later, but I didn't expect that the one who killed him was not the fog ninja we had been worried about. "
At this point, Ranmaru asked doubtfully: "It's just that I don't understand, why don't you kill me too? "
You are different. " "Yi Yong replied expressionlessly, "Kill Black Hoe Lei Ya because his thunder escape is too harmful. If we don't kill him, more people will be killed last night. I won't kill you because you have no ability to harm others. "
"is that so? "Ranmaru lowered his eyelids with some disappointment.
"It's just that Lei Ya is dead. I, a useless person, have neither a way nor a reason to live. "
Having said this, he raised his eyes and looked at the blade on Yiyong's waist. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Yiyong suddenly lying on the floor next to him without warning.
Two pairs of equally dull eyes exchanged glances like this.
"I know what you're going to say. Giyuu
said slowly: "Ten hours ago, a Kirigakure ninja named Taketori Katachi asked me to do the same thing. Hearing this
, Ranmaru's face turned slightly bloody: "Then did you agree to him?" "
Yiyong did not answer, but felt an indescribable anger that was gradually overwhelming his exhausted body and spirit.
What kind of past could make a child less than ten years old burst out like this when he begged to die? Where is the strong vitality?!
Is this also a manifestation of "living toward death"?
For the first time, lifelessness actually sounds like a compliment.
"I'm too tired. "
Yiyong felt dizzy, lying on his side and closing his eyes.
"Just like you, I now... don't have the strength to lift the knife anymore. "
As silence fell, Yiyong fell into a deep sleep quickly.
Ranmaru froze in place.
For a long time, he struggled to support his upper body with his arms and reached out to grab the knife on Yiyong's waist.
However, his hand reached halfway. , a gust of wind blew in from the gap in the window, and Ranmaru's delicate body suddenly shivered.
He retracted his hand, looked at Giyuu who didn't even breathe, sighed, and slowly covered himself with a gust of wind. The quilt on my body was moved over.

Chapter 100 Set sail
Chapter 100 Setting sail
Ranmaru also had parents who loved him.
At that time, his family was quite wealthy and unlike ordinary peasant families, they needed him as a labor force.
Therefore, although Ranmaru has been weak since he was a child and can barely walk, this does not affect his parents' love for him at all.
When his father went to surrounding cities to do business, he would occasionally put him in a backpack and take him to see the spring, summer, autumn and winter outside.
After returning home, his mother would hold him and watch the goldfish, and from time to time she would also let him do things within his power like choosing vegetables.
Overall, his childhood was quite satisfactory and he did not feel that his life was worthless.
But the good times didn't last long.
One cold winter, his father went out on business but did not return for a long time. Ranmaru's mother was very anxious.
On the way to find her husband, in order to see further, she accidentally exposed the limits of her inheritance -
her eyes glowed red, her vision could pass through mountains and walls, and she could even see things two or three kilometers away. .
If it were in another country, with blood inheritance limits, it might be a helicopter for class jump.
But it's different in the land of water.
According to the orders of Kirigakure, people with this special ability are equivalent to "spies" in terms of status. Once discovered, they must be arrested and reported immediately, otherwise the entire village will be executed for "harboring spies."
Coupled with the fact that blood successors often cause casualties when awakening, life in the Kingdom of Water is extremely difficult for these special individuals, and they are easily targeted by the public.
But the village where Ranmaru lived was not that cruel yet.
The insiders in the village reached a consensus and decided to hide the story of Ranmaru's mother.
But in order for her not to be discovered by Kirigakure and implicate everyone, Ranmaru's mother must leave the village on her own.
In this way, the mother distributed the family property to the villagers, hoping that they could take care of Ranwan's daily life and food, and she embarked on a journey to continue looking for her husband.
On the day of farewell, her mother walked very quickly, not daring to look back at all, and soon disappeared from Ranmaru's sight.
The young Ranmaru didn't know the real reason why his mother left. But since then, he has never seen his parents again.
Later, the village chief moved into his home, and Ranmaru was moved into a cabin that was more "suitable" for him.
Except for someone who provides him with food and handles his toilet regularly every day, he has been lying in that dark room, and it is difficult to even move.
The long-term lonely life made Ranmaru unbearable. He also wanted to see the world outside the hut, communicate with other people, and find out the whereabouts of his mother.
Perhaps this desire was too strong. One day Ranmaru suddenly discovered that his eyes could actually see through the wall and see people working in the fields at the edge of the village from a distance.
He was so happy that he immediately found the villager who brought him food every day, and saw that the villager accidentally cut his finger while harvesting food.
That night, the villager came to deliver food to Ranmaru as usual, and Ranmaru, who didn't know much about Kirigakure's rules, told him about the cut on his finger in order to express his concern, thus exposing his ability. He was so scared that the other party ran away, and the matter spread. More people knew about it than last time, and they couldn't hide it.
The village is in trouble.
First, because Ranmaru is incapacitated, he cannot leave voluntarily like his mother. But if he stays in the village, he will be discovered sooner or later.
Secondly, if Ranmaru's situation is reported to the Kirigakure Village, his mother will probably be involved. Once the Kirito ninja is interested in investigating, they will all suffer.
After much deliberation, the only way was to kill the child.
But everyone in the village has shared Ranmaru's property, and no one wants to be this ungrateful person.
Discussions went on and on, and finally the village came to a decision - to do nothing. Literally do nothing.
Anyway, Ranwan could barely walk and had no ability to take care of himself. As long as he stopped giving him food, Ranwan would starve to death sooner or later.
In this way, hidden dangers that threaten everyone's survival can be eliminated, and no one will have to get blood on their hands. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?
However, although things are well planned, there are always some unfounded worries.
Many people don't understand what the blood inheritance limit is, so they listen to rumors and demonize it.
These people were worried that Ranmaru, as a "monster", would not only not starve to death, but would suddenly break out and kill like those special beings in other villages, so they were worried and secretly reported to the Kiri Ninja. about this.
Just like that, five days later, Ranmaru, who was hungry, thirsty and dying, waited for the mist ninja ANBU Black Hoe Raiga who came to "pick him up".
Ranmaru's ability and his despair for life aroused the interest of Black Hoe Leiya, and a rather ironic result occurred -
overnight, all the villagers except Ranmaru, the "monster", were spared. , all were silenced, but Ranwan became an important partner in Black Hoe Leiya's personal care -
Black Hoe Leiya ensured Ranwan's survival and took him around as his legs.
Ranmaru, on the other hand, relied on his eyes that could see through the fog to make Black Hoe Raiga's ninja career successful, and he was quickly promoted to one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
It seems that everything is going in the right direction.
Unfortunately, in Kirigakure Village, whoever is promoted too quickly will be targeted by the Mizukage-sama with a strange mind.
The continuous assassinations made Black Hoe Raiga wake up -
if he continued to stay in this country, he and Ranmaru would sooner or later become the dead souls of other Mist Ninjas.
After much deliberation, Black Hoe Lei Ya accepted the task of "destroying the Tang Ninja Village" which seemed to be a suicide mission. He planned to take advantage of the chaos to kill the leader of the Tang Ninja Village, earn a bounty, and then escape. Ranmaru lived a wandering life together.
However, he did not expect the change of Yiyong.
...
"This is the story of Lei Ya and me."
Ranmaru held the warm tea cup, but had no intention of drinking it.
"Leiya is dead. No matter what goals I have, I can't achieve them by myself. Without him, I'm just a cripple who can't even take care of myself. To me, continuing to live is the only thing left. There is only pain."
His purple eyes looked at the serious-faced Yiyong across the table through the steaming heat, feeling unspeakable envy in his heart.
He had obviously seen such a haggard person before. He had slept for less than four hours, and he did not look tired at all. He could only dream of having such a strong body. Even just to experience it for a day.
On the other side, Giyuu's eyes carefully scanned Ranmaru's body, but he spoke without warning: "The most powerful ninja in the world is also a cripple who can't take care of himself."
He naturally referred to the "Nagato" mentioned by Purgatory Anjuro.
Although the battle seemed to be a draw between the two, Anjuro made it very clear that the opponent seemed to have a very terrifying technique that he did not use.
"...Is that so?"
Ranmaru didn't believe it at first, but Yiyong's face was too serious to be just talking casually.
"I never joke."
Giyu said as if he was reciting his lines: "That man easily killed Hanzo the Sanshouyu with his unique eyes. But if no one took care of him, he wouldn't be able to survive."
Ranmaruhi Following Black Hoe Leiya day and night, of course he knew who Sansho Hanzo was.
Hearing Yiyong say this, he temporarily forgot his original intention of ending his life, and a trace of searching light came out of his eyes.
After all, the ninja mentioned by Giyuu has many similarities with himself at first glance.
Ranmaru asked: "Unusual eyes? Is he in the same situation as me?"
"It's different. What he has should be the strongest blood successor in the world."
Giyuu told the truth, what in Ranmaru's eyes The light quickly went out.
"But you are better than him. I'm afraid he will never be able to stand up and walk in his life, but you can still do it." The
sudden turn of events caused Ranmaru's brain to freeze for a moment, and then he reacted and opened his eyes wide: " You just said..."
"I mean, there is still hope of curing your disease."
Yiyong was afraid that he wouldn't understand, so he changed his explanation.
"...But Lei Ya took me to find the best doctor in the Kingdom of Water."
Ranmaru did not immediately believe Giyu's judgment, "They said that this is a rare genetic disease, a terminal illness, and it will only get worse in the future. , there is no possibility of cure at all."
"I know that this disease is called 'blood inheritance disease', which mostly occurs in people with blood inheritance limits. It is caused by a serious imbalance between the mental and physical strength in the body."
Yiyong Pointing to his eyes, "In your case, the mental power is too strong and corrodes the body. If my judgment is correct, since your eyes can see through the wall, you have never grown taller, except for vision. Other senses are also becoming more and more dull. On the contrary, you are dreaming more and more, and even after waking up, you can still remember every detail of the dream. Is that so?" "
That's true." Ranmaru The frequency of nodding became more and more frequent, and he felt a little more convinced of Yiyong in his heart.
After all, the doctors in the Land of Water couldn't explain his physical condition so clearly, which shows that Jiyong knows this disease very well.
"But, can this terminal disease really be cured?"
"Honestly, I don't know."
Yiyong shook his head.
Tsunade can't do it, but Orochimaru, who has studied the limits of blood to the extreme, can't do it. He can only keep trying.
"But you must be cured."
"But...why?"
Ranmaru's hand holding the tea cup tightened, and he looked at Giyu with doubts in his eyes.
"We must have just met."
Yiyong was silent for a moment, and his eyes suddenly turned purple like the sunset. The two magatama stones on the left and the right slowly rotated. He looked much more energetic than before - at least it could reflect light. .
"You..." Ranmaru felt a lot more relaxed when he was looked at by these eyes as soft as water.
These purple-red eyes greatly deflected his impression of Yiyong.
Ranmaru saw a vibrant new world beneath the mirror-like stagnant water, like an all-encompassing sea.
Yiyong saw his reaction and felt a little strange.
It is obvious that when a clan member opens the Sharingan, anyone who is targeted will be so frightened that they break out in cold sweat. Why does Ranmaru behave like this?
Is it because when his "Red Eye" is activated, it looks similar to the Sharingan, so it feels familiar to him?
"Although the colors are similar, we should not be related."
Giyong was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he explained: "Compared to the Sharingan, your 'red eyes' are more like a variation of the white eyes. If you want to explore your bloodline, maybe It would be more appropriate to go to Konoha to find the Hyuga clan."
If some adjustments are made to the color of this child's hair and eyes - the hair color is darker and the eye color is lighter, he will look quite similar to Hinata Hinata, and maybe there will be some differences. The origin is uncertain.
"Since we have nothing to do with each other, why do you have to cure me?" Ranmaru asked seriously.
"Personally speaking, it's my brother who has the same disease as you."
Yiyong did not hide his inner thoughts, pointing to his eyes and said: "Although he got sick later than you, he used the Sharingan too frequently. , the condition is much more serious than yours."
This is the result of Yiyong's observation through the transparent world.
"To put it simply, if I can cure you, I can cure my brother."
"That's right..." Ranmaru could barely accept this reason.
Sure enough, there is no such thing as unfounded goodwill in the world.
I am always in some strange place and have special value to others.
"But that's just one aspect."
Yiyong hasn't finished speaking yet.
He looked at Ranmaru quite formally, "Next, I am going to the Kingdom of Water, to Kirigakure Village, and I may need your help. Curing your disease is my reward for asking for your help. Of course, if the cure No, I will also take you home and take good care of you. This is my promise."
Seeing that Ranwan seemed a little doubtful, Yiyong added seriously: "My family is very rich, and you are the only one left. There's no problem with the food at all."
"..." Ranmaru was a little speechless. Is the issue he was worried about money related to? The key is -
"Why are you going to Kirigakure Village? It's very dangerous there."
Although Ranmaru asked, the dissuasion was clear, "Don't talk about outsiders, even Kirigakure's own people don't know when. Killed. The Fourth Mizukage Yagura has gone completely crazy, and no one knows what he wants to do." "
I'm just going to kill him."
Ranmaru was horrified by what Giyuu said.
"If the person who made you an orphan and made more people like you become orphans is really this Mizukage; if killing that guy can change everything, then he is the target of my trip."
Giyuu said his plan seriously while taking out the map of the Kingdom of Water that he carried with him. There were still a lot of blank spaces on it.
"But this is my first time to go to Kirigakure Village, and I don't know much about the situation there. If you can see the mist of the Land of Water for Black Hoe Thunder Fang, you will definitely be able to help me with this."
Yiyong leaned forward . Tan, the speaking speed increased slightly.
"Due to my negligence last night, the dry Kakiba Whale launched a tsunami and destroyed all ships heading to the Kingdom of Water. Therefore, our arrival at the Kingdom of Water will be one to two days later than expected. In these one or two days , we don't know how many people will experience the same thing as you, or even more painful things than you.
"But, if you are here, with your eyes and experience in ninja activities with Black Hoe Leiya, When we reach the Kingdom of Water, those fogs will no longer be an obstacle. In this way, the time wasted due to my incompetence will be recovered, and maybe even more will be saved. "
As soon as these words came out, Ranmaru felt that a huge responsibility fell from the sky, and he was overwhelmed and didn't know how to deal with it. It was clear that
a few minutes ago, what he wanted was just a simple death...
But now, he seems to have become a He became the most important link in the chain.
"Ranmaru. "
Yi Yong sincerely requested: "You chose to end your life simply because watching others die is more uncomfortable than dying yourself. I have experienced the same mood as you. "
That was when my sister and Qiu Tu died. Yiyong fell into great sadness and couldn't even think.
"But your past should not become other people's future. "
Giyu stretched out a hand and spread it on the table.
This is what Mr. Lintaki told Giyu after the death of Qiu Usagi. He now relayed these words to Ranmaru intact.
"I serve as the blade in your hand, and you serve as my eyes in the fog. In this way, we may be able to completely break the chain of tragedy. Do you really not want to try it?" After a moment of
silence, Ranmaru stretched out his hand. He took out his right hand and held it with Yiyong.
In his short life, he had never felt for a moment that he was so important.
However, at this memorable moment, the sliding door was opened from the outside.
"Teacher, the boat you ordered is ready to launch -"
Ghost Light Suigetsu, carrying Nine Tails on his shoulders and wearing a black fox ear hairpin on his head, broke in and his voice stopped abruptly.
Seeing the two hands clasped together, and Ranmaru's face flushed with excitement...
and then thinking of Giyuu's special "hobby", Kiden Suigetsu immediately thought a lot, so he hurriedly shouted:
" Teacher! Don't be deceived -
"He is a boy!" "
