Chapter 50: Lies and Izanagi
"That's it." On the back of a certain mountain, next to a huge rock full of cracks, there is a gap between the cliffs and the rocks that can only be passed by one person.
It is not visible from the outside, and through the gap, the inside is narrow and wide, and finally a natural stone cave is formed. Despite the small space, Makoto was pleased to find that the entrance was at an upward angle, which meant that the heavy rain that followed would not affect the dryness of the cave.
The small openings and confined environment made it impossible for the Konoha ninjas to use campfires for warmth, but fortunately, even in this near-Gobi region, where the temperature difference between day and night is huge, the physically strong ninjas did not need this small means.
"I'm going to set a trap." The cultivator said very positively, after eating some of the military food pills for recovery, he was no longer in any serious trouble because he had not been injured.
"I'll help you." Yoshiro carefully put his things away and went out with Shuto.
The long and narrow opening cut off the already dim light, and the cave was pitch black, and after the two subordinates ran out, only Makoto and Fuyue were left, so quiet that they could hear each other's breathing.
"I have a lot of respect for you, Captain." Fuyue said jokingly.
"Oh?" Hearing Fuyue's words, even though he knew that the other party couldn't see it, Makoto still made a gesture of raising his eyebrows, and his voice rose together.
"The ninja of the family," Fugaku said lightly as if chatting with a friend, "You can usually see it, right?" Even the elders who are in charge of the affairs are unlikely to be as widely respected in the family as you are. β
"Well, the people have high hopes for me, so I'm going to have to work harder." Although Makoto's tone was light, he carefully chose the most standard answer in his heart.
"Honest you ......" Sounding from the sudden interruption of his breath, Fu Yue seemed to laugh uncontrollably, and after a pause he said: "You are just too careful, you have never acted beyond the boundaries and faux pas, not that there is anything wrong with this-it's just that don't you think, a little too out-of-the-way?" Whether it is a family or a clan, you are our genius, and your glory is our glory. β
Makoto couldn't help but laugh, but it was a bitter smile, he always thought that he was acting well to the outside world, but he didn't expect that not only the extremely close relationship between the light and the world, but even Fuyue saw his clumsy cover-up.
Fortunately, no one knows what he's covering.
A lie often requires countless lies to make up for it, but the original lie of sincerity is the kind that no one will believe if it is completely said:
"I just feel that I'm too small."
"Uh, what?"
Cheng also seemed to be chatting with an old friend, and slowly said: "You have also experienced World War II, you should understand that feeling - the fight of thousands of people, you stay in a corner of the battlefield, you are obviously in it, but you clearly know that you can't do anything, you can only passively wait for the ending...... That feeling is really terrible, and it makes people understand that they are not really great. β
If you ignore the events that he didn't experience, these feelings are true.
"But......" Fu Yue was a little speechless for a moment.
"However, in this world, there is really nothing that cannot be changedβthere is only the difference between what you are capable of and what you are not capable of, isn't it?" Although he couldn't see Makoto's expression, Fugaku could imagine the terrifying sharpness in Makoto's eyes when he said this.
A cautious and conceited genius - this is the same impression that Makoto Uchiha has always given him, and it really fits perfectly. Cheng thought coldly, if you ignore the words he made up, these thoughts are also true.
Fu Yue sighed silently, of course, this action Cheng couldn't see it at all, he cheered up, and said to Cheng in an admiring tone: "It's worthy of you, a guy like me, he will only lament the limitations of his own ability." Being able to contain one's own sense of powerlessness is the so-called 'genius' weapon, right? β
"Lament? Fuyue, you don't look like such a humble guy. Makoto blinked and said jokingly.
"Yes, haha, to be favored by our great genius, it seems that I have to work harder to ......" Fu Yue smiled heartily, walked over and patted Cheng's shoulder: "Don't worry, this time with me, no one can hurt you." β
Makoto's heart shook, not only because of the meaning of Fuyue's words, but also because of the strength that Fuyue showed - in this kind of place where there is no light, he can accurately judge Makoto's location just by the sound of breathing, and even be able to pat Makoto's shoulder without any mistakes, although there is a reason why Makoto did not deliberately hide it, but Fuyue's rich combat experience is also evident from this.
"[Izanagi], Makoto, you should know this technique, right?"
"Hmm." It's not just that he knows that he has been saved by this technique.
"Before leaving, the Great Elder and Father personally explained to me that I must ensure your safety." Both of them understood the price to be paid for this technique, but Fugaku's tone was as relaxed as if he was discussing "what to eat today".
ββ¦β¦β
"Makoto," Fu Yue shook Makoto's shoulder, and his words were full of seriousness and sincerity: "For the family, you are an irreplaceable genius - not just how [valuable] you are, but you and I are both part of the family, and the prosperity of you and me is the prosperity of the family, and your prosperity will make the family continue more than me......"
"Captain Makoto, it's raining!" After echoing many times, Xiuren's voice seemed a little distorted, but the surprise in his words could still be heard.
Almost at the same time, the sound of a torrential rainstorm echoing repeatedly in the narrow cavern and even causing a roar rang in my ears so abruptly.
Interrupted from the conversation, Makoto stood up and walked out.
Strictly speaking, it was the twilight period, but the sunlight had been tightly covered by the black clouds, not even a trace of it was revealed, inside and outside the cave, there was a dark ink-like darkness, and in ordinary vision, it was difficult to see the five fingers.
Therefore, it is impossible to identify the true face of this rare rainstorm with eyes, there is only the sound of countless tons of water falling to the ground between heaven and earth, only the sound of "booming" water, and the blankness almost covers up the traces of anything else.
Standing at the mouth of the gap, feeling the slight pain of the water falling from the sky falling on the ground and splashing the debris on his face, Makoto turned around and said to Fugaku, "Fugaku, this is a good time to harvest. β
Fu Yue was stunned for a moment before he understood what Cheng meant, and he took a breath: "You're crazy!" In this kind of weather, there is no trace of the enemy at all! Not even 'Writing Wheels'! β
