Chapter 128: If the World Forsakes You
It's another beautiful day, Amber is holding a feather duster and sweeping the dust off the goods, looking a little listless.
It's no wonder that the ninja shop has been open for five days, and not even a single kunai has been sold, so frustration is inevitable.
Suddenly, there was a sound piercing the air, and a shuriken flew from outside the store and shot at Amber.
"Smack!" Amber didn't reply, and stretched out two fingers to grab the shuriken as if nothing had happened.
"Yo, it's Red Bean, my good apprentice, the mission is over?" Amber smiled and turned to look at the door of the store.
A slim girl, a beige high-necked trench coat, a dark blue T-shirt and orange pants, shoulder-length purple hair fluffily tied behind her head, her tall and slender figure exudes a trace of childish charm, and her slightly arrogant cold smile is a little ruthless, like a thorny rose.
"yes, I'm tired!" Azuki reached out and threw the package to Amber, and collapsed on the rocking chair behind the counter and stretched out comfortably, the seductive curves and overlapping white calves made Amber look twice.
"How's it going, did the curse mark flare up?" Amber asked.
"It's very stable, Master, your seal is starting to take effect, and now I can use almost eighty percent of the chakra. Hongdou nodded, reached out and touched the spell mark on his neck, a circle of tiny seals almost completely surrounded the three magatama, leaving only a small gap.
This is a seal specially developed by Amber for Orochimaru's curse seal, and when it was just sealed, there were one-third of the circles in the gap, but this seal will slowly erode the curse seal, and the connection between the curse mark and the will of the red bean will will be broken little by little, as long as the gap is completely closed, it is very simple to completely remove the curse mark.
"That's right, Master. Hongdou did it and said, "I have an eyebrow about what you asked me to investigate." ”
"Oh, come with me to the back hall. Amber said, with a moving expression.
The two entered the back hall, and after sitting down, Hongdou said seriously: "This time, I made a special inquiry when I passed by Sand Ninja Village, and there was indeed a riot in Sand Ninja Village, which was 12 years ago, and many prisoners escaped and wreaked havoc everywhere, causing a lot of losses. ”
"Twelve years ago?" Amber frowned.
"Well, that's all I heard about originally, but I ran into a guy on my way back to Konoha. Red Bean said with a mysterious smile.
"Who?"
"A gang of wandering bandits, their leader was actually one of the prisoners who escaped that year. Red Bean said.
"How do you know?" Amber asked, confused.
Red Bean didn't speak, just showed a cruel sneer.
"Uh, okay, you go ahead. ”
"I heard from him about what happened back then, and it wasn't a dereliction of duty on the part of the guards, but someone deliberately let them out. Red Bean said affirmatively.
"Who let them out?"
"A girl who is a sand ninja, the guy said that he can't forget the girl's eyes when he dies, pure as the sky. ”
"Is it really a girl...... Amber pondered for a moment and asked, "What about the bandit?"
"No, I just broke his leg. Hongdou showed a sneer, and the sharp tiger teeth reflected a glimmer of light.
"Uh, may I ask which leg it is?"
"The one in the middle. ”
“……”
~~~~~~
Before I knew it, it was dusk again, and Red Bean went to school to pick up Tiantian, and Amber cleaned up the store alone, but in the end there were still no customers, so it was better to close the store early.
I don't know if it's an illusion, today's dusk seems to be a little inexplicably cold, and the dim light seems to be mixed with blood, which makes people feel a little more uneasy.
Locking the counter, Amber was cleaning up the day's tea, a clean rag brushing the table, leaving a trail of water.
Suddenly, Amber paused, and slowly wiped it again.
"What's the matter with me at such a late hour?" Amber said casually as she cleaned up, without looking back.
Half-ringing, inaudible voices came from behind.
"What would you do if the world abandoned you?"
"If the world abandons me, I won't abandon the world, at least for everything I care about, and keep going strong. Amber said slowly.
The voice behind him was silent, and he didn't speak for a long time.
After tidying up the table, Amber turned around, and the person behind her had disappeared at some point.
"Even if the world forsakes you, I won't abandon you. Amber muttered as she looked at the passers-by who walked by from time to time outside the store.
At night, a silver figure quietly shuttled through the forest, its rapid figure like a phantom, without a trace of wind.
Soon, the silver shadow stopped on the edge of a cliff, and the faint moonlight shone down from the clouds, revealing the amber face.
Stretching out his hand and sticking to the rock wall, Amber's heart moved, and a large number of sigils emerged from the rock wall, emitting a pale yellow light, and the next moment, the hard rock wall slowly squirmed around, revealing a dark passage.
Looking around, Amber's figure slid in, and the rock wall squirmed and returned to its original form.
In the dark basement, the electric lights suddenly turned on, and the bright light dispelled the darkness, revealing a spacious hall.
In the corner of the hall, a screen blocked the light, making it look a little discordant.
"You're here?" a sudden voice came from behind the screen, calm and gentle.
"Ah, I'm here, why don't you turn the lights on?" Amber asked with a smile.
"Do you think I need something like a lamp?" said him, and a familiar figure stepped out from behind the screen, its empty eye sockets looking rather oozing.
"Well, that's right. Amber shrugged her shoulders and sat down to ask, "How do you feel?" ”
"It's almost recovered. Zhishui groped his way to sit on the chair and said quietly.
After a pause, Amber spoke, "The Itachi has already made a move. ”
"Well, I believe in what he's done. Zhishui paused and asked, "It's you, why did you save me?"
"Because I have a fancy for your abilities. Amber said.
"Don't be a god?"
"Not exactly, but also your strength. ”
"I'm already a wreck. Zhishui pointed to the empty eye socket and said, "And why should I help you?"
"Do you really want the Uchiha to be extinct forever?" Amber asked rhetorically instead of answering the question of stopping the water.
"What do you mean?!" Zhishui frowned, his tone a little cold.
"Itachi was no longer able to stop the rebellion of the Uchiha clan, and he decided to make the Uchiha clan disappear from this world completely before the rebellion occurred. Amber said playfully.
"What?!" Zhi Shui stood up in shock, his face full of disbelief.
In the middle of the sound, Zhishui sat down a little depressed, and said sadly: "Sure enough, I still can't stop it, I shouldn't entrust this burden to Itachi, and he will eventually attack his own people." ”
"Actually, there is still a chance to make amends. Amber smiled and said.
"How do you make up for it?" asked Shisui as he looked up.
"If you promise to help me, I'll help protect the future of the Uchiha clan. Amber said as she looked at the water.
"I promise you. Zhishui said without hesitation: "As long as you say it, you will do it." ”
"Good. Amber nodded in satisfaction.
