Chapter 37: The Trial of the Waterfall

Boom la la la......

Tianwei resisted the thought of pacing back and forth, and stood in the shadow of the woods with his hands behind his back, looking up from time to time to look up at the bell who was sitting motionless in front of the waterfall.

Finally, he couldn't take it anymore and asked Kirabi, who was leaning against the tree, "Is it ...... It's been a bit long? There won't be any problems, right? ”

"It's only been two minutes, it's because you're too anxious, Ba Geya Road ~ Kong Noa Road ~" Kirabi said disapprovingly.

Tianwei looked at the watch on his wrist: "Yes......"

Finding a piece of dry land in the lawn and sitting down, Tianwei tried to calm down and observe Suzu's condition.

Fortunately, as a ninja, adjusting his mentality for the sake of the task was simply commonplace, and after a few breaths, the impatience in Tianwei's heart quickly calmed down.

After another moment, Suzu, who seemed to be in a meditative state, suddenly opened her eyes and coughed twice in pain.

"Suzu, are you alright?"

Tianwei disappeared from the spot and came to Suzu's side for the first time.

"Phew, whew, I didn't ...... Ahem, it's okay......"

Obviously, he was just sitting in place and motionless before, but at this moment, Suzu was so tired that he was panting as if he had run ten laps around Konoha Village.

Tianwei squatted to the side without saying a word, and waited until Suzu was out of breath before continuing to ask, "What happened?" ”

"Huh? Just emerged from the waterfall another me...... She said she was my evil and then said some other weird things......"

"Well, that's the other side of you, in other words, that's the real you~ If you can't defeat her, you can't learn to control the Seven Tails! Ba Geya Road ~ Kong Noa Road ~ " Kirabi said behind the two of them.

"But...... That 'me' is exactly the same as my strength, and sometimes even the 'me' of the action is the same as me, it's exactly me fighting with myself......"

"Wait, I'm a little dizzy ...... listening"

"Octopus-sensei, don't you have any tricks?"

"Hmm......" Kirabi was silent for a moment, then said, "This cultivation can't be solved by fighting alone, I can only tell you so much. ”

"Huh? That's to say......"

"Well, don't rush, take your time." Tianwei gently put his hands on Suzu's shoulders, smiled at his rabbi and asked, "It's not early, let's stop here for today!" Is there a place where we can stay? If not, can we pitch our tents without being disturbed by wild beasts? ”

Kirabi: "This is no problem ~ the room is here ~ even the bathroom if you need it ~ "

Tianwei: "That's easy." Put your backpack in your room and go make dinner! It's been a busy day, and I'm hungry! Suzu, what do you think? ”

Suzu was still sullen from her previous failures, and said in high spirits, "Oh...... Then I'm going to help. ”

Tianwei's smile instantly stiffened, and his whole body felt a chill, and he barely spoke after a while: "Uh...... That, you don't need it, Ling, you've just finished practicing, go take a shower and have a good rest, I'll call you when dinner is ready, go, go! ”

Almost persuaded the bell into the room by pushing, Tianwei turned to look behind him, gasped with relief and then stretched out his hand in high spirits: "Pleasant goat, it's decided that it's you!" Mutton hot pot for dinner today! ”

"Bah!" was shocked by the white sheep in Tianwei's finger, turned around and ran.

"Hmm...... Wolf meat is said to be sour and hard, not as delicious as dog meat, so I stopped eating it. The big squid from before was enough to cut a tentacle down. Alas, and bears! If you haven't eaten it, you can try it! ”

The gray wolf exhaled like an amnesty, lying on the ground softly and wagging his tail to sell cuteness to Tianwei, and Xiong Daxiong Er was also as frightened as the previous white sheep and turned around and ran away.

"This bird can cut off its wings and stew its wings, pork is a daily dish, wild pigs are even more delicious, orangutans...... Forget it, it's not that monkeys can eat monkey brains, and I haven't eaten them either......"

Tianwei pointed in front of a group of animals, quite a "point out the country, scold Fang Xuan" leadership style, scared all the animals immediately scattered, for fear that Tianwei would be caught by Tianwei if it was a little late.

Tianwei was on the rise, and he didn't notice that a large hand suddenly reached out from behind and held his fingers firmly.

Tianwei looked back in amazement, only to see Kirabi's face so gloomy that he seemed to be dripping water.

"They're my friends, you can't eat them!"

……

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

"Squeak" opened, but it was not Tianwei who appeared outside the door, but Kirabi with a serious face.

"Please, may I ask ......"

Maybe he felt a little impatient to listen to Suzu slowly biting his tongue, and Kirabi, who had long known what Suzu would ask, leaned to the side, revealing Tianwei, who was constantly struggling behind him, but was still tightly tied by eight tails: "This guy wants to eat my friend~ I had to tie him up~ Bageya Road~ Kong Noya Road~"

Hearing Kirabi's words, Suzu also frowned, put her hands on her waist and raised her head to look at Tianwei who was held high by the octopus claws: "Really, brother, what are you doing?" ”

Tianwei hurriedly broke free of his mouth in a tentacle and explained loudly: "It's just a joke, it's really just a joke!" Mmmm......mm

The sun had completely set, and the trio sat around a campfire for dinner.

Dinner was very simple, only a soup made of vegetables and fish, which made Tianwei hold the bowl with emotion.

Obviously there is a group of wild game in front of you, but you can only look at it and can't eat it, what a cruel torture!

After dinner, Suzu insisted on contracting all the cleaning tasks, but fortunately, she was only bad at cooking, and nothing went wrong.

"Aren't you going to talk to her about something?" Looking at the back of Suzu's room, Kirabi asked Tianwei beside him.

"No, this kid has been through a lot along the way, but she almost didn't think about it, and she was as innocent as a child, and she was as kind as she was not suitable to be a ninja at all. It's time for her to understand a little bit, and tell her directly that she probably won't take it to heart, and that the truth she has learned after hard thinking can be remembered the most. ”

Kirabi: "This doesn't look like what you did this afternoon, I thought you'd be worried about her!" ”

"It's cruel, but I'm trying to make her grow. I had to do it, like a female eagle kicking her baby off a cliff in order to learn how to fly. Tianwei clasped his hands in front of his chest, standing motionless on the ground against the evening breeze, letting the evening breeze blow the ends of his hair, coupled with that serious words, Tianwei at this moment has a grandmaster demeanor.

Kirabi thought for a moment, then said very seriously, "Well, that one is said to be a rumor. ”

Tianwei: "......"

Can you still pretend to be pleasant!

……

Suzu lies on the bed with a pillow in her hands, her eyes fixed on the chandelier on the ceiling.

In a trance, she seemed to have returned to the afternoon when she was cultivating in the True Waterfall, and a figure with cloudy eyes and exactly the same figure as herself came out of the waterfall in front of her.

"What's wrong? When you see this waterfall, you miss your hometown? This waterfall is much smaller than the one at the entrance of Takikure Village. The mirror-like girl snorted lightly, a mocking smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, "Or do you remember that liar Yun Ren?" ”

"Huh? No, there is no ......."

"Don't pretend, I'm your heart, the real you. I know everything you're thinking. ”

"Wait a minute, what are you talking about?"

"Isn't that clear? I am the deep thought of your heart, usually in the depths of your heart, and it is the function of this waterfall to release me to meet you. ”

It wasn't until her dark mirror image came closer that Suzu realized that although the other party had come out of the waterfall, there was no wet place on his body.

"It's ...... Illusion? In that case...... Solution!"

Suzu sealed her hands and tried to crack the illusion with the method that Tianwei had taught her when she was cultivating before, but the mirror image in front of her did not disappear.

"Huh? How could it be ......"

"Are you still running away? Accept the reality, this is who you really are!" The mockery in the mirrored smile was even stronger, "Liars, all liars!" There is no one in this world who can be trusted, I will only believe in myself!

"Whether it's those old guys from Takikure Village, Ichisaki, or the crippled old man named Danzo, whoever comes here is for that big bug! On the surface, they seem to care about your good, but in fact, they are using rhetoric to achieve their own goals!

"Those people in Konoha Village just don't know your true identity, and you also went to secretly see the son of Watergate, right? Just for a baby, the way the babysitter who took care of him looked at him must not have forgotten. Because it's exactly the same way that the people in Takikure Village look at you.

"As for the old man of the three generations of Hokage, don't look at him always with a kind face in front of people, in fact, he has other plans in secret. The reason why I agreed to accept you from the Uchiha family is just to use the so-called family affection as a chain to manipulate you. And ......"

"Enough! Stop talking nonsense!"

Tears rolled down her face, Suzu clenched her hands, her nails digging into her flesh, her knees slightly bent, and she looked like she was ready to go.

"Speaking of which, do you still have to fight in the end? By the way, you can't beat me because ......"

Before she could finish her words, Suzu flashed and rushed to the waterhole.

Skillfully sealed with both hands, Suzu plans to use the trick he has practiced for a long time to seize the opportunity.

Tu looked up with feeling, but Suzu was surprised to find that the mirror image on the opposite side also rushed over, and the magic mark on his hand was exactly the same as his own.

"Wind Escape* Cui Lan Jade!"

“…… Because, I am you! Wind Escape* Cui Lan Jade!"

The ensuing battle ended with the two sides fighting evenly with the same ninjutsu, illusion and even physical arts.

Those...... Is it really what I really think? Although I didn't think about it before, but now that I calm down and think about it, I still have a ...... in my heart for the world and the companions around me.

The arms holding the pillow tightened slightly, pressed against the chest, lowered the head slightly, and half of the face was covered by the pillow, and the exposed eyes gradually blurred.

Thinking about it like this, the chandelier in front of me became more and more blurred, and the arms holding the pillow slowly loosened, and a wave of tiredness swept through the brain, and then it went dark in front of my eyes, and all thoughts stopped in an instant like an electrical appliance that had been unplugged.
