Coming out of the meatball shop and saying goodbye to Asma and the others, Mingyu and Sunset Hong walked down the street, both of them remained silent. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Red. Mingyu said.
Sunset Red looked at him, smiled, pulled him to a flower shop, told him to wait outside, walked in by herself, and after a while, she walked out with a fresh bouquet of carnations.
Mingyu looked at her with a smile, and a warmth flowed through his heart, the person he knew best was Sunset Red, his words were still brewing in his stomach, and Sunset Red knew what he meant.
This strange feeling of being in the heart is a tacit understanding cultivated by the two of them who have been getting along for two years.
The two walked to Konoha Hospital, asked for Naoki's room number, came to the prison cell where he was, and knocked on the door.
After a long time, a hoarse voice came from inside, as indifferent as ever: "Come in." ”
Mingyu pushed open the door, and Xiri Hong walked in, Naoki who was lying on the bed looked over, with a surprised look on his face, obviously he didn't expect it to be Mingyu and Xiri Hong.
Mingyu stood in front of the bed, looking at this former genius, now a wasted man, his whole body was almost wrapped in straps, only one face was exposed, and he lived like a mummy. He lay on the bed unable to move, one hand fixed to a wooden plank, and a drip was still hanging.
His face was sickly pale, his lips were even a little blue, his eyes looked at Mingyu blankly, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of haggard and tired looks, and the whole person revealed a gray color.
Sunset put the flowers at the head of the bed, and there were a few bunches of fresh or withered flowers at the head of the bed, but they were all white and starry, and she was a little surprised, it seemed that every day there was a person who came to visit this lonely genius.
"What are you doing here?" said Naoki lightly.
"I heard that you were seriously injured, come and see you. "Sunset Red Road.
At this time, the door was opened again, and Mingyu looked back to see that the person who came was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, wearing a cyan long-sleeved top, with a forehead guard, a face like jade, and a slender figure.
"Who are you?" the woman was taken aback when she didn't expect other visitors in the room.
"My name is Sunset Red, his name is Uchiha Akiu, and we used to be classmates of Naoki. "Sunset Red Road.
"Oh, so you're ......" She was surprised when she heard Mingyu's name, but she didn't continue, and instead said, "I'm Naoki's teammate, Ayako Morishita, hello." ”
Mingyu and Sunset Hong smiled and nodded, "Hello, Miss Ayako." ”
Ayako Morishita came to the head of the bed, put the fruit basket at the head of the bed, and got busy with herself, tidying up the somewhat messy quilt for Naoki, lifting the curtains again, opening the window slightly, and adjusting Naoki's needles.
Mingyu saw all this in his eyes, and secretly said in his heart, this is a careful girl, from the beginning he took into account Naoki's thoughts without mentioning his so-called "genius" and "prodigy" titles, and opening the window is only a little bit, which can not only make the air circulating, but also protect the patient from the wind and cold.
However, Naoki's relationship with her seems to be a bit unusual, and Naoki hasn't looked at her since Ayako entered the room.
Mingyu glanced at Sunset, Sunset Red comprehended, walked to Ayako's side and whispered, "Sister Ayako, I know that Naoki likes to eat a kind of porridge, why don't we go and sell it together." ”
Ayako is also a person with a crystal clear heart, looked at Mingyu and Naoki, and also understood the meaning of Sunset, nodded, followed Sunset Red out, and gently led the door.
Mingyu pulled a chair and sat down, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that people like you would also be cared about by girls." ”
Naoki closed his eyes and said lightly: "After the joke is over, you should also go." ”
Mingyu shook his head and said, "No, I didn't mean to make fun of you, and I didn't come here to fall into the well." ”
"Oh, what are you here for?"
"I don't know, I heard Asma say that you are seriously injured, you may ......" Mingyu did not say it.
"Maybe you can't be a ninja, right?" That's what Tsunade-sama said, but even if I don't, I know it. ”
"I heard that you are here to avenge your parents, who is the opponent who can beat you like this?" Mingyu asked.
The corners of Naoki's mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't speak.
The other party didn't want to talk about it, Mingyu was also a little helpless, thought about it, and said, "Your writing wheel eye was opened because of the death of your parents, right?"
Naoki opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling, with a painful look in his eyes, and said, "That's right. ”
His eyes turned to Mingyu, and the corners of his mouth showed a faint mockery: "The Uchiha are a cursed clan, and only those who have lost their loved ones and are strongly stimulated will awaken the Sharingan. I opened my eyes because of the death of my parents, I wonder what you, the legendary genius, will open your eyes for?"
"I will open my eyes, but never at the cost of the death of my loved ones. ”
Naoki snorted softly, and the mockery intensified: "No matter how powerful a person is, there will be a day when he will be powerless to protect others." You can refine a large amount of chakra at the age of four, develop advanced ninjutsu at the age of five, and become a prodigy praised by everyone, along the way, smoothly, never suffered setbacks, never experienced failures, and is naturally carefree. But don't get too complacent, one day, you will understand that life is always full of suffering, and it is always helpless......"
He said so many words in one breath, very hard, his expression was extremely tired, his pale and emaciated cheeks showed an abnormal redness, and after a long time, he continued: "Only then will you know that fate and the world are terrible, and people are extremely disappointed, and you will understand that everything is in vain, everything is just in vain, and then you will understand my state of mind at this moment." ”
Mingyu looked at the painful person in front of him, and sighed secretly in his heart, no wonder he was so genius, but he didn't appear in the original book, probably because of this heavy blow, he lost his goal of moving forward, lost the motivation to live, and was extremely disappointed in his tragic fate and the world around him.
In fact, he is the same as Nagato and the Red Sand Scorpion, who are people who have been deeply hurt by this cruel ninja world.
There are too many such tragedies in this world.
But Mingyu didn't want tragedy to happen, and looking at Naoki, he suddenly had some understanding of his mission in this world.
He took a deep breath, stood up, looked out the window, and said with a smile: "Yes, the world is terrible, and fate is often helpless. However, I want to change this bad world, and I want to change the fate that makes people helpless. ”
Naoki seemed to hear a big joke and sneered: "It's up to you to change the world?"
"How do you know if you don't try?" Mingyu looked at him and said, "At least, it's much better than you lying here in despair, complaining and giving up on yourself." ”
"Let me tell you a story. Mingyu said, "There is a boy, he has no parents, no friends, no ninjutsu, no illusion talent, he is useless, he has been ridiculed by everyone since he was a child, he works very hard, he has paid a hundred times more sweat than others, a thousand times, but there is still no effect." Until one day, he met a teacher, who taught him a very difficult physical technique, and he still put in amazing effort and will, and finally, he learned this physical technique that even a genius could not learn. ”
Naoki sneered, "You wasted so many tongues just to tell me such an inspirational story?"
"No, I'm not done yet. Mingyu said, "This kid has cultivated through hard work the mysteries of physical skills that are difficult for ordinary people to practice, he is full of confidence in his own strength, and thinks that he can finally challenge a genius through hard work." But soon, he was defeated by a genius in the middle ninja exam, and like you, he was seriously injured enough to end his ninja career. Unwilling to fail, he has been trying to recover, exercising on crutches and dripping, and looking forward to being reborn. Later, his master invited the most authoritative medical ninja of the time to treat him, but the words of the medical ninja completely cut off his hope: if he was forcibly treated, he would have a 50% chance of losing his life.
"Life or ninja path, it's a dilemma. He was hesitant, decadent, and he was utterly disappointed. Yes, God was really unfair to him, he put in much more effort than others, but in exchange for such a result. He was so unfortunate compared to us. ”
"And then?" said Naoki softly.
Later, his teacher approached him and said that no matter what choice he made, he would support it. So he remembered his dreams, his own wishes, and he resolutely made a decision to gamble with his life, just to win the opportunity to redo the ninja and regain the ninja way. This time Lady Luck finally took her favor, and he won the bet and eventually became a brilliant ninja who could only do physical skills. ”
Naoki closed his eyes and didn't speak.
"The world is really bad, and fate is always unlucky, but a ninja is a person who endures and suffers for the sake of his ideals, and if he shakes his faith and gives up his ninja because of the blow, I won't approve of such a ninja. ”
Mingyu looked at the sky outside the window and said, "It's not early, I should leave too, I hope you can think about it." ”
He walked to the door and was about to open the door, when he suddenly turned around and said, "Actually, I'm looking forward to fighting you." ”
Naoki opened his eyes suddenly.
Gently closing the door, Mingyu looked up and saw that the two girls were standing against the wall.
Mingyu smiled, nodded to Ayako, said goodbye to her, and pulled Sunset Red away.
Ayako walked into the ward with some apprehension, looked at Naoki worriedly, saw that his lips were a little chapped, and hurriedly poured him a cup of hot water, gently blew it cold, and tried it with her mouth, the temperature was just right, not hot or cold, so she came to his mouth, as if she was afraid of touching his wound, and carefully moistened his mouth.
After Naoki finished drinking, she turned around to wash the cup, but heard Naoki's hoarse voice behind her: "Ayako, thank you." ”
Ayako trembled like a lightning strike, and the cup almost fell off, as if it had taken all her strength to hold it.
"I didn't ...... It's okay. ”
