Chapter 12: Shame

"Get down on my knees!"

The low roar of Tuan Zang reverberated on both sides of the river, in the undulating wilderness of the weeds, and in the dark and silent night, making people's hearts hairy, as if they were the screams of fierce ghosts seeking revenge in hell. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This low roar was also like a slap in the face, allowing Mingyu to break free from his complicated thoughts, and in an instant, the panic and fear faded, and was replaced by an irrepressible, raging, bursting chest, and rushing straight to the brain!

He didn't answer, but he didn't kneel, he just tightened his mouth into a hard line, his fists clenched so that his fingers turned white, and a pair of bright red eyes like blood stared at Tuan Zang.

The two lives of people have made Mingyu very open to many things. There is no hope for the position of Hokage, he doesn't care, the name of Uchiha's super genius, whoever is rare can take it, and he will be scolded in front of him and even insulted him, unless it is too much, he will also be regarded as a breeze in his ears, leaving no trace in his heart.

Now, he doesn't force many things anymore, if he can, of course he wants to become a Hokage, of course he wants to become a legend, but even if he doesn't achieve these initial impulsive aspirations in the end, he doesn't feel anything to lose, and he will live freely and enjoy life.

However, in the bottom of his heart, there are always two people, to be exact, two women, who occupy a special place. He drew a cordon around the two of them, placing them in the softest and most important places of their hearts.

One is to single-handedly guide him into the ninja world, pursue the way of ninjas, and have been following the inseparable Sunset Red on the road of growth, I don't know when, in which specific moment, in which beautiful place, this little girl he once approached with impure purpose, treated with a playful attitude, and looked down on the little girl, became a special scenery in his life - no, it is the background.

Perhaps out of habit, this girl who was always by her side unconsciously entered his heart, integrated into his soul, and became a vital and indispensable other half of his vitality.

And the other is the source of his second life, the cornerstone of his growth, the woman who gave him the first love, the warmest care in the panic of his first arrival, and the selfless care and greatest dedication to him at his weak age, and the woman who has been silently supporting and patiently waiting behind his back in the years of struggle in the future, and who has always had no regrets, so that he can breathe out the greatest and most affectionate name in the world with the deepest and fullest feelings: "Mother." ”

These two women, like the sun and the moon shining on his world, illuminate his way forward, he can't measure which is more important, only knows that if any one of them dies, the world will lose most of its brilliance.

In other words, this is his reverse scale, the untouchable bottom line, the person who must be protected at all costs, the most important meaning of the existence of life, the support of the soul, and the root of life.

For them, Mingyu can do the kindest thing in the world, and for them, Mingyu can also commit the deepest sin in this world - for them, he can do anything.

But now, the woman who gave birth to him and raised him, a bright moon that illuminates his life, hangs by a thread.

One end of the thread was in the hands of the cunning and ruthless Tuan Zang, and the other end was tied to his hands.

"Whether Keiko lives or dies, whether she is complete or disabled, it is all up to you. A sneer appeared on Danzang's face, and at the same time it was full of hideousness and indifference, "Now, I tell you to kneel!"

Mingyu's face was flushed, his green tendons were knotted, his eyes were angry, he stared at him tightly, and did not speak.

He was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Tuan Zang's smile slowly disappeared, he raised his head slightly, looked down at Mingyu with a cruel gaze, and said indifferently: "I count three times, after three sounds, if you don't hit the ground on your knees, she will have her head on the ground." ”

"Three ......"

Mingyu's pupils shrank, and he turned to look at Keiko, seeing the knife across her weak neck, and seeing the root ninja behind her, his pupils shrank to the size of a pinhole, and suddenly dilated.

The knife across Keiko's neck ...... instantly tightened, and the snow-white neck seemed to have been carved with a bloody mark.

Mingyu's legs were still straight, and there seemed to be no sign of kneeling, but his body was trembling.

Everyone held their breath, and the eyes under the mask, or not, stared at him nervously, even the enemy, nervous for him at this critical moment that would determine life and death.

On the one hand, his mother, who cherished her life, and on the other hand, the dignity of the strong that ninjas can sacrifice their lives to protect, which side will he favor in these two dilemmas?

Tuan Zang's voice also became hoarse, and in the whistling night wind, it seemed like a sigh from the Nine Shadows, which was soul-inspiring: "One!"

"Smack".

The night was so silent, so silent that the two hundred people didn't even breathe, so silent that the dull sound of their knees hitting the ground could clearly resound in everyone's ears, and it seemed to echo.

The night wind ceased, the river stopped flowing, and the clouds in the sky surged up, revealing the crescent moon hidden in the depths, and the bright moonlight sprinkled the dark earth, casting a light veil on the bowed head of the kneeling boy, and at the same time leaving a deeper shadow on the side of his face.

Everyone forgot to breathe, forgot their heartbeat, and just looked at Mingyu in a daze, even if they were mentally prepared, even if they wanted him to kneel, but probably in their lives, they had never seen a picture of a peak powerhouse kneeling down to someone, right?

Because in order to become a peak powerhouse, you must first have the will to persevere, and secondly, you must have a desire to win far beyond ordinary people, even if you put a knife across his neck, you will not make such a dignified action.

Mingyu is the same, even if he is allowed to die, he is not willing to kneel to Tuanzang, but now the knife is not across his neck.

It is across Keiko's neck.

For the sake of his mother, he even gave up his dignity!!

Tuan Zang also reacted after a pause, and couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, and the loud and proud laughter spread far and wide in the wilderness.

"I didn't expect it, you who have always been unexpected, who are known as super geniuses, and who are the top Uchiha brand, finally knelt in front of the old man today!"

Hinata Zhihui also had a disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth, and said lightly: "The wild dogs that bite people everywhere, in the face of hunters, they have to kneel on the ground and wag their tails to beg for mercy." It's really sad and lamentable, why did he offend us in the first place?"

Mingyu's head was still hanging hooked, burying his expression in the darkness, still silent, burying the humiliation in the silence.

Seeing her son suffer this great humiliation for herself, Keiko's eyes were red, her teeth clenched into her trembling lips, and she bit out deep blood marks.
