79 Uchiha IV
So the next day, I went to the shrine alone.
As soon as she saw Rin, she took the necklace out of her trouser pocket and spread out her hand in front of the other party's eyes, "Is this the necklace you've been looking for?" ”
Looking at the necklace in her hand, there was a little more unclear emotion in Rin's eyes: "I didn't expect you to find this thing, I really underestimated you." ”
"It's a windfall," Nanaye paused, not intending to explain the reason to her, "I wonder if this necklace can be exchanged for something with Miss Rin?" ”
Rin regained her impeccable smile, "If it's not funny, I won't help." ”
"I want you to help Sasuke-kun." Nanaya replied word by word.
Rin smiled even more, "It's not that difficult, but don't you want to know what you're up to?" ”
Nanaya frowned.
She also thought about this question, and with this necklace, all kinds of doubts in the past can be answered immediately.
But she thought of Sasuke who stood in the cold wind without saying a word.
She can somewhat understand the feeling of being in the vast white snow, looking at the world and the world, she is alone.
However, Sasuke's state of mind is different from what she used to be. Her pain stems from the sense of disparity between the past and reality, but she always understands who she really is, and finally finds her position with the help of many people.
But Sasuke was different. His past is a blank slate, the pain stems from ignorance, and in such a state of confusion, it is easy to lose oneself.
She still had her past, she had a diary, and Kakashi, but Sasuke had nothing.
And there is another very important reason. Nanaya thought of the man who looked similar to Sasuke Uchiha, he had saved her, and the necklace he had given her, she might not be so selfish.
"I want to, but I want to help Sasuke even more." She said slowly.
Rin glanced at her meaningfully, then curled the corners of her mouth, "This is probably a sad story." ”
Rin's memories inevitably go back to a long time ago.
It was a sunny day. Rin sat on the bluestone steps, enjoying the shade of the trees. Feeling the refreshing feeling of the mountain breeze on her face, she couldn't help but open her eyes slightly when she noticed someone standing in front of her.
It was a handsome young man, with black hair hanging down softly on his face, delicate facial features, he didn't look very old, but there was a shallow nasolabial fold under the corner of his eye. The most attractive thing is the obsidian-like eyes, although calm and waveless, they are not a pool of stagnant water, but a calm but bottomless lake.
The familiar feeling and appearance made her think of her former lover.
"I'd like to ask you to do something for me." The young man was the first to speak to break the quiet atmosphere, and his warm voice made people feel good.
"Oh? Who are you? How did you find here? Although she already had the answer in her heart, Rin asked with the corners of her mouth hooked.
"My name is Itachi Uchiha. Found here from the address given in the family secret file," the boy paused, "it says that this is the place where all wishes can be granted, even if it is impractical. ”
"Tell me about your wishes." Remembering her old friend, Rin suddenly became very patient, and the boy in front of her really aroused her interest at that moment.
"I want to get rid of a person's memory," Uchiha Itachi said word by word, and after seeing the other party's puzzled gaze, he continued to add, "My younger brother, Sasuke Uchiha. ”
"Our family is gone, and I just hope that he can forget the past and live happily ever after." Saying this, he couldn't help but look up into the distance, and his faint expression finally revealed a trace of amazement.
"There's more than sadness in the past," Rin looked up at the boy, seeming to be a little interested, "You have to think about it." ”
Erasing memories is not just about erasing sadness, but about erasing the past, including those joys.
"I've made up my mind." Itachi curled the corners of his mouth and smiled absently, but there was firmness in that imperceptible smile.
"Is it really good to decide your brother's fate on your own?" Rin raised her eyes, although she maintained a smile on her face, but her words were to the point, "Have you asked your brother if he is willing?" ”
Itachi lowered his eyes: "As long as he forgets the past, there will be no such problem." ”
"Although it may be considered good for my brother, your way is cruel." The curvature of the corners of Rin's mouth continues to increase.
The boy in front of him is terribly paranoid, and changing his brother's fate in his own way may be unreasonable to ordinary people, but Rin finds it very interesting.
She likes to watch the development of such distorted and unusual events in the world, which is a rare enjoyment for her in the long years.
"He'll always understand." Itachi said slowly, with a sigh at the end.
So the next two went to Sasuke's house together, but they unexpectedly saw two other figures.
"Open the door, I'm Naruto, Sasuke." The blonde boy knocked on the door, shouting.
Next to him stood a girl with long pink hair, who seemed to be a little puzzled: "Isn't it home?" ”
"But he hasn't been to school for a week." Naruto clenched his fists and frowned.
Just as he was about to leave with his companion with a look of disappointment, the door creaked open.
He turned around and saw a familiar young man standing in front of the door, the loss on his face disappeared in an instant, and it was replaced by excitement: "Sasuke! ”
"What's the matter?" Sasuke glanced blankly at him.
And Sasuke's cold glance made Naruto stunned.
In the past, although Sasuke was sometimes a little cold, he also had warmth, and he would taunt him as a "crane tail", but in front of him, it was as if he had lost the whole world, and it was as if he might leave this world at any time.
"Well, Sasuke-kun, we're here to visit you." The pink-haired girl stood aside and said sheepishly.
"If it's okay, let's go." Sasuke just gave them a cold look and closed the door.
And in the dark corner, witnessing the whole process, Itachi and Rin fell silent for a while.
"I kind of understand why you want him to forget the past," Rin nodded, "but don't you think that having a cheerful and lively partner around him will pull him out of the shadows of the past?" ”
"I know Sasuke well, he's paranoid." Itachi said lightly, but the words sounded like a sigh.
"Is it the same as you?" Rin looked at him with a smile.
Itachi was silent.
The two men came to the courtyard and silently watched the scene inside the house.
Sasuke sat on a tatami mat and stared blankly at the cherry blossom tree in the courtyard.
Itachi couldn't help but think of the countless times the two of them had rested under this tree.
At that time, he was still a gentle brother, and Sasuke was still an innocent child, and the two sat on the wooden floor, looking at the cherry blossoms overhead, as if the whole sky was dyed pink. The smile and the words are stained with the breath of spring.
Suddenly, a breeze blew, causing a shower of cherry blossom rain, and the petals flew and swirled in the air, and then slowly floated to the ground.
Now they sit under the same tree, just like the cherry blossoms overhead, and the messy petals on the ground.
Although the flowers in the two places are the same, and the people under the trees are the same, they are separated by an insurmountable distance between life and death.
They sat quietly in the courtyard as the sun set and night was approaching.
After a long wait, the night finally came.
The child who was sleeping on the bed, the moonlight reflected on his face, which shone more whitely, his eyes were tightly closed, and his brow was furrowed, as if he was haunted by nightmares.
Seeing this, Rin couldn't help but ask softly again, "Are you sure?" ”
"Don't ask questions like that again, Miss Rin," Itachi sighed and turned his head to look deeply at his brother, who was sleeping very uncomfortably on the bed, "from today onwards, he won't have nightmares." ”
"Alright, that's what you want." Rin chuckled, then reached out and slowly moved to Sasuke Uchiha's head.
It only takes a flower to extract a memory.
Those pains and joys finally turned into a blooming flower in Rin's hand. Each petal records the bits and pieces of Sasuke Uchiha's past.
A father who is strict but silently pays attention to the growth of his children, a mother who is always gentle as water, an older brother who has only a younger brother in his heart, and a happy family, is destroyed in an accident, leaving only Sasuke Uchiha alone.
But sadness comes last, happiness comes first. To forget is to erase everything in the past. Maybe Sasuke won't have the nightmare of his family leaving one after another, but he can no longer remember that he once had a happy family.
"Thank you, Rin-sama," Itachi took the flower from Rin, stared at it for a long time, and finally spoke, "What terms am I going to give?" ”
There is no such thing as a free lunch. This is also the question he has always had. According to the secret scroll, Rin promised to help people while also asking them for something she was interested in.
"I'm very interested in this matter itself, but as for you, give me 50,000 spirits."
The Uchiha clan has always been tenacious, and their obsession is too deep, so everyone who dies is very easy to become a charm. The Itachi in front of him became enchanted because he was too obsessed with his younger brother.
Itachi silently accepted a sword and what looked like a gourd-shaped item from Rin, thanked him, and left.
This is the end of the reminiscence.
"Just last month, Itachi finally collected 49,999 spirits, and together with himself, completed the task I gave him." (Please support the genuine version for the rest) 166 Reading Network
