Chapter 132: The Rain Hits the Window Sill
When exactly did Red come in, how long did it take to get herself drunk, and how much she heard talking to Jiraiya, Sasuke didn't know. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info But according to Hong's questioning, there shouldn't be anything that happened when the two confronted each other.
So what Sasuke has to deal with at the moment is Yakumo's affairs. According to Hong, Yakumo became weird after receiving his own treatment, and often looked at the sky alone in a daze.
After finally getting rid of the demons in my heart, it shouldn't be this attitude to life. Red also thought about many possibilities for this, but they were all ruled out by Yakumo one by one. When he happened to come to the tavern for a drink, he happened to hear the conversation between Sasuke and Jiraiya, so he turned his suspicions to Sasuke.
A sick and weak girl sighed for a long time, and she didn't think about tea and dinner, she must have charmed some man who had no conscience. In order to clear his suspicion, Sasuke decided to meet Yakumo in person, and he had to go to Yakumo for the sake of the Shinobi exam anyway.
"What a nuisance. ”
According to the plan, Yakumo was going to take the middle ninja exam, and Sasuke's purpose was to convince her to give up taking the exam. This is contrary to her long-cherished wish to revitalize the Kurama clan and become an excellent illusion-type ninja. Being forced to see her by Red this time brought Sasuke a strange sense of guilt.
[You guy, take responsibility for me. 】
It's okay that I didn't do anything, and the seal of the tear mole is also good. But speaking of which, Sasuke also felt a little strange. According to Yakumo's character, there shouldn't be a situation of thinking about life, and she should have thought about all the life she should have thought about.
"What is the reason?"
The sky was overcast, and a light rain fell to the ground. The wind carried the rain stars, as if looking for something on the ground, and slammed into each other from one end to the east and the other from the west. Raindrops fall from eaves, walls, and leaves, like beads with broken threads, and finally join together to form a column of water.
It was raining, the air was filled with melancholy, and an inexplicable melancholy locked his eyebrows. Cool air and empty skies set people's minds free. Infected by this atmosphere, Sasuke couldn't help but look for an oil-paper umbrella, and continued to wander to find the imaginary rain alley.
And in the rain alley, there is a girl like a lilac.
This is a new place for the Kurama clan to find a new place for Yakumo, luxurious but simple, with a Japanese charm. Yakumo, dressed in white haori, sat in a wheelchair and looked up at the view in the courtyard.
"Ahem. ”
Sasuke coughed dryly twice, trying to dispel the atmosphere he had imagined. He didn't come here for any romantic thing, he was completely the image of a wicked person. Yakumo slowly turned his head when he heard the voice.
"It's Sasuke-sama, I thought it was Mr. Red when I felt the footsteps. I don't usually have many people coming to my place. ”
"That's right. ”
Sasuke forced a laugh, trying to find something to talk about.
"Is it okay to wear so little on a rainy day? ”
"It's okay, the Japanese cotton robe underneath the haori won't be too cold. But Mr. Sasuke, you wear this dress at all times. ”
Sasuke still wears the special uniform of Class 11. This completely Westernized outfit is completely out of tune with the overall style of the house. If Yakumo was a classical woman who wore Nagahaori in the Meiji period, Sasuke was like an intruder from another era, out of place.
"No, I have a lot of uniforms, and I don't always wear one dress. ”
Sasuke retorted, and both of them laughed. Feeling that the atmosphere had become a little more cheerful, Sasuke decided to take this opportunity to have a showdown with Yakumo.
"Yakumo, I hope you will give up taking this middle ninja exam. ”
Sasuke hesitated for a moment to speak his thoughts, and Yakumo fell silent after hearing this. In the courtyard, only the sound of rain dripping down the hearts of the two men.
"Ah, actually. We would like you to help organize the first selection for the Chunin exam. ”
Feeling Yakumo's depressed mood, Sasuke hurriedly explained the reasons for the incident to Yakumo one by one. And Yakumo just buried his head and remained silent.
"I know this request is unreasonable, but I hope to be able to borrow your abilities. After all, almost no one can match your illusion abilities, especially once you've gained control of Ido. ”
But Yakumo didn't seem to move. Seeing this, Sasuke could only sigh helplessly. This is to be expected, and not everyone will let go of their personal dreams for the good of the whole. Even though the middle ninja exam is still there next year, and although Sasuke is kind to her, this kind of request is still a little too much. When you are only one step away from your dreams, your heart's desire is much greater than you think.
So Sasuke quietly moved behind Yakumo, preparing to carry out the second or real purpose of the trip, to plant a spell mark on Kurama Yakumo.
The illusion problem of the middle ninja exam, Sasuke is not out of the way to solve it. He just needs to find someone to brush up on his achievement points, and then go to the dimensional dojo to plunder the abilities of other worlds. Whether it's the exotic banishment in "Saint Seiya" or the slide enchantment in "11eyes Crime and Punishment and the Girl of Redemption", they are all illusions that are comparable to or even surpass the month.
But Sasuke chose to seek Yakumo's help first. On the one hand, it is because those abilities are too rebellious, and it is not easy for them to be seized even if they want to, and on the other hand, it is to plant an insurance spell for Yakumo.
For this person who knew that she had crossed over, even if she had distorted her memories with illusion, it was not safe. Originally, Sasuke wanted to learn the sealing technique left behind by the Vortex Country to completely seal Yakumo's memory, but unfortunately he had to give up because of his own actions.
With his right hand behind his back, a black auspicious cloud mark appeared with a red immortal face. After entering the immortal mode, Sasuke concentrated the senjutsu chakra on his finger and drew the notch of the earth's curse seal. He refused to leave a curse mark by biting like Orochimaru, and the curse mark for Yakumo was enough to give Yakumo's curse mark to the earth's curse mark.
The possibility of survival is higher in this way, and with his own medical ninjutsu, even if some after-the-fact reactions are just a fever. It's normal to get sick when you catch a cold on a rainy day.
However, just as Sasuke was preparing the means and was about to make a move, Yakumo suddenly raised his head. Sasuke's muscles tensed, and he pulled the wide brim of his hat down with his free left hand, trying to hide the curse marks and facial makeup on his face.
"Mr. Sasuke, do you like to listen to the rain?"
"Watching the wind and listening to the rain is really a poetic thing. I used to do it when I was younger. ”
Sasuke stood motionless at the back of the wheelchair, and Yakumo didn't suspect that Sasuke had ulterior motives, just talking about his thoughts.
"Rain is just a normal part of nature. The water evaporates into water vapor, which condenses in the air and forms clouds, which then turn into raindrops and fall. It's just part of the water cycle. ”
Sasuke said, slowly moving his prepared right hand to the back of Yakumo's neck.
"Mr. Sasuke is still a child. Yakumo said softly. Although it is true, people always bring their emotions into these natural phenomena. ”
"The rain was born in the sky and died on the earth. The process of falling in the middle is its lonely and unwilling life. I had a dream that was such a story of struggle. I can't forget it since I had this dream. ”
Yakumo said as she reached out, and some of the falling raindrops hit her hand in the wind, and some hit Sasuke's face.
"Mr. Sasuke must be lonely, I don't know why I feel this way. ”
"So if this is Mr. Sasuke's own request, I will grant you. Even though it may just be my delusion, I don't want Mr. Sasuke to be so lonely because you once saved me and Mr. Hong. ”
Yakumo watched the drizzle fall intently, not paying attention to what was behind him. This was a good opportunity, Sasuke could definitely plant a spell mark on Yakumo with the slightest movement, but for some reason Sasuke just couldn't move the finger that was almost attached to Yakumo's neck a little further.
[That's going to be lonely, I don't want Mr. Sasuke to be so lonely.] Because Mr. Sasuke saved me and Mr. Hong. 】
Yakumo is a gentle person, and her care and gratitude for her have not changed at all. Do you really want to hurt her again? just for some comfort in your own safety?
Sasuke couldn't help but think of what had happened at Mt. Myoki the day before. Maybe it's just an inconsequential choice for you, but for Yakumo, it could be something that will change your life. It's like the red bean that was planted with the curse of heaven by Orochimaru.
The rain is also dashing, and the people are also dashing. If life is like rain, it will eventually be shattered, so that there is no regret at that time, and it will not live up to the time.
Sasuke eventually dispersed the senjutsu chakra in his hand and lifted the immortal mode and spell mark. As if nothing had happened, he pushed Yakumo back to the back room.
"Then let's say okay, don't worry. I'll try to get you the exam from Hokage-sama. ”
