16. Chapter XVI
I...... Is it a drag again?
She seemed to return to that night, the beginning of a nightmare, a shattered world and the desperate eyes of the girl.
The moment the black flame ignited, she cared more about the two kunai behind the young man than the fire that was about to burn to the hem of her skirt.
I have known for a long time that this world has no light, no illusions, and no hope for us, but I will not give up.
Now, I have found my hope, but ...... Shall I kill him?
Suizi saw the young man's flying figure getting closer, and saw that the boy was not far from him, stabbing sideways, slashing, turning around, and after every movement, his eyes would always meet with him.
Her chest began to ache in bouts, and it was as if a fire was burning, eating away at and devouring her sanity.
She had to be brave once. She thought.
"Jump." A voice whispered in her ear.
The moonlight was bright, there were not a few stars in the sky, and the moon was in vain, her eyes sparkled and the world became blurred, and the figure of the young man was no longer clear.
"I'm going to die." She tried to oppose that voice.
"Do you want to kill him?"
The young man was in front of her, his face was handsome, and there was anxiety between his eyebrows that could not be concealed.
Various voices echoed in the head, chaotic, and finally turned into a firm voice.
"Jump!"
At this moment, she suddenly had great courage. She wasn't afraid, she thought, opening her arms and letting her body fall from the high walls.
A girl with beautiful eyebrows falls from the sky, and the night wind blows the hem of the pale pink cherry blossom kimono.
She knew that she was descending rapidly, and she heard the wind in her ears, and she inexplicably had a feeling of flying. The surrounding scenery is constantly changing, and there is a strange beauty.
She saw the horror and almost despair in the young man's eyes, why did you show such a look? The girl tried to smile comfortingly at him.
It's not as scary as I imagined, she thought, compared to the invisible, heavy despair of Flower Street, the pain of being swallowed up little by little by the darkness of life, this is not terrible.
……………………
The boy tried to get close to the girl, and his body was extremely fast, like an eagle flying in the night sky.
What he saw, however, was a girl falling from a high building.
The girl's skirt fluttered in the wind, her sleeves were raised high, and at that moment, under the reflection of the light of the Uchiha family's fire, she could only be regarded as beautiful, but at this moment she was thrillingly beautiful.
She fell from the sky like a bird.
It's like a flower that blooms to the extreme.
Are there gods in this world? The girl thought, I begged, I begged you, I am willing to accept all my past sufferings, and I have no regrets, but, please don't let me be an obstacle to the boy I love.
The boy I love, I want him to grow up well, to have a full life, to have a beloved brother, like-minded friends, a stable life, and ...... Gentle and wonderful wife and children.
If he can be happy, then even if I die, I will definitely be happy.
Just as the girl wished, the boy changed his trajectory because of her whereabouts, and avoided the two kunai.
"Don't!" The young ninja shouted loudly and flew up to save her.
Soon, soon!
However, it was too late after all, and his fingers brushed the girl's wide sleeve, and he could only watch the girl fall from front of him.
Then it fell heavily and fell to the ground.
It was full of Yin Hong's blood.
He stumbled over to the girl, and miraculously, the girl still had those beautiful eyes......
But Izuna knew that she was dying, no matter how much he didn't want to admit it.
Just like when I was young, my brothers, fathers, mothers, and teachers left the world and lost their breath, leaving only a cold body.
No matter how much he prayed and how much he kept it, it was useless.
The second young master of the Uchiha family can do a lot of things, but he can't save those who are about to die.
But why?
She was just an ordinary girl, she was only fifteen years old, the best age, and life had just begun. She's not a ninja and shouldn't be involved in this.
How could she die? She has a beautiful face and a firm heart, she should be sent out of the land by a ninja, grow up quietly, find someone she likes, and have a beautiful child, she still has so many years to live!
"Izumi-sama." The girl's beautiful, brown eyes were confused, and she blinked hard, struggling to gather her gaze, trying to see the boy in front of her.
"I'm here." The boy hugged the brown-haired girl, his eyes were rarely frightened, "Suizi, I'm here." ”
The brown-haired girl fell in a pool of blood, her face distorted by pain, but Uchiha Izuna felt that she was the most beautiful girl in the world.
Her pupils were dilated, her eyes were bleeding bright red like tears, and her long brown hair and pale skin were mixed with red. Izuna tried her best to wipe the blood off her cheeks as smoothly as she could, but she couldn't wipe it clean.
The blood kept pouring out, and it looked extremely glaring in the firelight, taking away her vitality.
How can there be so much blood? Or, after a person has shed so much blood, can she still live?
"Izumi-sama" The girl stubbornly called his name, as if she was using her last strength to say goodbye to this world and her beloved boy: "I'm ...... I'm I'm Glad ......"
The girl's words were intermittent due to serious injuries, and she forcibly supported them with perseverance: "Although it is only less than a month,...... But I'm still happy...... It's a nice world out there...... Can you take another look...... It's all happy ......."
You used to have a happy life, playing with your younger siblings one afternoon, carefree, and at most complaining about the bad food today.
Is it a sin to be weak? Is poverty a sin? When you came home that day, your mother told you to go with an uncle, and she cried and said that only if you went with him, there would be food at home.
You don't know what you're facing, so you look into your brother's ignorant eyes and feel a sense of responsibility and say, "Okay." ”
There is no more splendor in your world, and in the beautiful courtyard, you have lost the joy you have, and your freedom has been imprisoned.
You are so humble, so humble that no one will care about your life and death, no one will care if you are happy, and in countless cold, dark nights, you follow Huali to keep warm.
The world has never given you anything, but it is stingy to take away everything you have.
Once it took away your family, your freedom, your friends, your dreams.
And soon after it is finally willing to give you happiness, it is your life that it will take.
Is it because you are too weak, so no matter how much you resist, how hard you try, or even if you are willing to give up a qiē, it is difficult to get happiness?
The boy felt a tingling in his eyes, but the pain was no match for the pain in his heart.
He knew very well that he was about to lose her.
The girl who smiled when she first met, the girl who walked with him silently, the girl who watched the fireworks with him, and the girl who took care of him when he was seriously injured...... He was about to lose her
Izuna Uchiha can do a lot of things, but he can't save the person he likes.
The pain of losing someone you like, the anger and unwillingness to do anything about yourself.
Am I crying for her? He blinked, thinking.
"These days...... It's the happiest I've ever lived......" The girl smiled contentedly, like a blooming camellia, her pupils were no longer in focus, but she was still trying to smile at the boy, "I like you, Izuna." ”
She finally closed her eyes.
For the first time, Izuna Uchiha felt that the smell of blood was so pungent.
……………………………………
On that bloody night, under the reflection of the flames of war, Nohara Jiang clearly saw the young man holding the girl's body gradually losing its temperature, with painful and broken eyes.
And the strange ones that appeared several times in their memories-
Kaleidoscope writing wheel eye.
