Chapter 33: An Unexpected Surprise
Autumn turns to winter, whether it is the country of fire, the country of wind, or other countries with geographical locations, they are shrouded in harsh winter, and the northland is covered in silver.
A lot of things have happened in the ninja world in the past few months, some are moving, some are sighing, but the thing that shocked everyone's jaws the most was the first wealthy family in Konoha, or the first wealthy family in the ninja world, the Uchiha clan was wiped out, leaving only the seven-year-old Uchiha Sasuke! And the murderer is also a well-known name in the ninja world, Uchiha Itachi!
All the ninja villages are speculating about the truth of this matter, is this a conspiracy of Konoha to show weakness? Pretend that the Uchiha clan is wiped out, lure those who have ambitions for Konoha and wait for the opportunity to do so, and then catch them all? If not, then the Uchiha clan was really slaughtered by a thirteen-year-old child? How strong is this kid? Can you fight against a clan on your own in Konoha? Or did Konoha play a role in it?
Countless pairs of eyes of curiosity or suspicion were staring at Konoha at this moment, and some people were inquiring about the news of another master of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Ling.
Some people rumored that Uchiha Ling also died in this massacre, and there are also rumors that Uchiha Ling has joined the shadows to hide his identity and stay by the side of his teacher, the third Hokage, and some people speculate that the bloody case was the hand of Uchiha Ling and Uchiha Itachi together, there are different opinions, and all kinds of gossip are also circulating in the ninja world, but as time progresses, the heated discussion is still there, but it has also cooled down a lot.
In a small town in the Land of Water, snowflakes are flying, silver and white, a thick layer of snow has been piled up on the ground, and countless pedestrians are walking briskly wrapped in their warm clothes. On the streets, the lights on the side of the road bring the snowy night to life.
From the point of view in front of you, this is a peaceful and calm town, everyone is busy and busy, although life is tense but comfortable, but the small figure standing in front of a garbage can on the street makes this comfort pale and ironic.
A child of about seven or eight years old, wearing only a tattered T-shirt and thin shorts despite the cold winter, white but also dirty mud and snow stains hanging on his body, long black hair scattered down to see his face, frozen purple feet standing naked in the snow.
Originally, this seemed to be an opportunity for good people to do good, but the people passing by around him avoided him in a hurry, and their eyes were full of disgust and fear.
They are afraid of a child.
"You wild child, get out of this town!"
A discordant scene arose. Originally, when the child was digging through the trash can to see if he could find some food, several children who looked about his age were throwing him with snow or stones, and when they saw this qiē, passers-by looked gloating in addition to not stopping it.
There are many rumors about the child, some say that he is just an innocent orphan, others say that he is pregnant with the cursed Blood Limit, but the people of this town clearly believe the latter.
The Land of Water is different from the Land of Fire, and the ninja in Konoha Village prides himself on possessing the Blood Inheritance Limit, which means that he has ancient and mysterious powers. On the contrary, a person with a Blood Inheritance Limit is like having a life talisman tied to his body, and he can be killed by ninjas or civilians who fear this power at any time! Maybe the people of this town also want to kill this child, but thinking that he may have the blood limit but don't have the courage and guts to do it, he is contradictory and cowardly.
Flying stones and snowballs fell on the child, who only curled up with his head in his hands and suffered silently, not using the power of the terrified Blood Limit.
Click. The stone hit the child's head, and the scarlet blood flowed out of the forehead, slid down, and ticked on the ground.
It's cold, and the blood is cold, I'm going to die
Blinded by the red on his body, the child's lips moved slightly and asked himself.
It's okay to be dead, no one needs me, I have a cursed blood limit, and if I die, I can get rid of it
Gently closing his eyes, the child wanted to go to sleep, never waking up to face this, but at this moment, a black shadow obscured the light on the side of the road, enveloping his small body.
Who is it? Who's watching me? Does he want to kill me?
"It's funny." Looking at the child steadily, the figure murmured softly, with a somewhat surprised and somewhat surprised tone.
Interesting? What's interesting? The child struggled to open his eyes after hearing this, but what he wanted to say stopped abruptly when he saw the appearance of the figure.
Dressed in a long black trench coat, his face was covered and he couldn't see clearly, but what kind of eyes were those eyes! Blood red, eerie, beautiful, but also lonely
"Big brother's eyes are very similar to mine" seemed to be attracted by the eyes that fascinated him, and the child couldn't help but mumble to himself.
"Like?" The figure paused, seemed to be a little curious, and his eyes were slightly smiling, and said, "What do you mean by being very similar?" ”
"I don't know," the child himself was a little confused, "but it's just a lot like that."
"Huh." The figure chuckled and said, "Maybe it's similar, but it's not like it, at least from experience." ”
Fixed, the figure's blood-red eyes were not looking at the child but looking at the sky, "I have a very lofty ideal, but I am afraid that I am not capable of completing it alone, I need someone with strength to help me achieve this wish, now" The voice paused, the figure looked at the child again, and said with a trace of joy and expectation in his eyes: "Are you willing to become a powerful person?" ”
He needs a man with strength, and he needs a man with strength
The child murmured, and his eyes seemed to brighten under the black hair.
Will power be needed? If that's the case, I'm willing! I am willing
The figure looked into the child's eyes, and he did not let go of the light that flashed in the child's eyes, although the child did not answer his question, but the answer was already revealed.
Possessed, the figure's hands reached out from the child's armpits and retreated to pick up the child, and after weighing it slightly, he was a little surprised by the child's weight, and said, "You are so light, how long has it been since you eaten well?" ”
The child was stunned for a moment, but did not answer, but grasped the figure's robe tightly with his small hands.
"What's your name?" Sensing the child's uneasiness, the figure slightly increased the strength of his arms.
The "name" was a little uneasy, a little afraid. They all called me a wild child, they called me a murderer, and the only name I had been called by my mother had been
After "Bai" was stunned, the child said softly, "My name is Bai." ”
"White?" The figure muttered the name in a low voice, "It's perfect for you." ”
"What about the big brother, what's the name of the big brother?"
"My Name"
"Ling."
In the fragmented words, the two figures slowly disappeared into the snowy night
Holding Bai all the way forward, he went out of the town and found a random inn, and Ling planned to take good care of Bai first. After explaining that he would take a hot bath for Bai and prepare some warm clothes and food, Ling sat casually in the corner of the hotel, holding his chin and looking at the snow that was still drifting outside the window, distracted.
Ling has experienced a lot in the past few months, and after Konoha left, some people in the ninja world are inquiring about Ling's news. The Uchiha clan was wiped out, except for the wanted Itachi, the only orphan Uchiha Sasuke, and only Uchiha Ling was not determined to live or die! If that ninja village can find Ling and absorb Ling at this time, then it means that this ninja village will have the power of writing wheels! When wandering outside, Ling encountered ninjas from other villages several times, in order to ensure that his news was not revealed, Ling also killed them, and Ling, who wandered aimlessly more than a month ago, inadvertently came to this ninja village, and inadvertently met Bai tonight.
Seeing Bai Shiling, he was a little hesitant, maybe it was his best destination to not kill this pure young man, but in his heart, Ling was reluctant to have such a wonderful encounter, maybe the law of the traverser, since he had met it, he didn't want to let things run according to the original law, even if it was the most suitable law.
"That" Just when Ling was stunned, Bai Bai, who had already packed up, walked in front of Ling's side, his expression a little restrained.
Hearing the voice, the little boy in front of him was like a delicate, soft, touching white jade, under the white bathrobe, peerless beauty.
Slowly glancing at Bai, Ling chuckled and said, "What's wrong?" ”
Bai bowed his head and said nothing, his hands were uneasily stirred together, he was afraid, afraid of losing this hard-won sense of existence, the feeling of being needed, but the kind Bai didn't want to hide Ling, the person who made him see hope.
Facing Ling's gaze, Bai was silent for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage and said, "I have the cursed Blood Inheritance Limit!" After finishing speaking, Bai lowered his head and avoided Ling's gaze.
What would it look like? Disgust, fear, still
Just when Bai was uneasily guessing Ling's attitude, he suddenly felt that the top of his head was covered by a hand, soothing like stroking a cat, and he was stunned in his heart, and Bai raised his head.
"That's indeed the power of the cursed." Looking at Bai, Ling's eyes flashed with a certain hideousness, "But strength also depends on the mentality of the person who owns it." If it's a curse, then turn it into the power to make your dreams come true, like me. Slowly white, Ling's eyes were changing, the black magatama fused together, and the pupils also expanded to wrap the magata, and the whole eye was no longer visible pupils, pupils, only a strangely shaped magatama seal engraved in a piece of scarlet.
"This is" Bai was stunned, staring blankly into Ling's eyes.
"This is the power of the cursed." Ling bowed his head and said in a weak tone, "People like Yun Cong the most, they are afraid of unknown power, so they define this power as a curse, but deep down, who doesn't yearn for power?" Ling's mockery, with a bit of self-irony, "People with power are isolated, hurt, or immersed in their own ambitions and lose sight of what really matters." ”
Ling's voice revealed a little desolation, but after looking at the white in front of him, he quickly hid his feelings, and said, "I need someone with strength, no matter what kind of power it is!" From now on, there will be only me in your world, only me, understand? White"
Ling needs people with strength, my world is only Ling
Warmth flashed in his eyes, and Ling did not miss the sparkle and urgency in his white eyes. Nodding slightly with satisfaction, Ling pointed to the food on the table and said, "Let's eat, we'll leave this town after a night's rest today." After finishing speaking, he no longer looked at Bai, but held up his chin and stared at the snow outside the window, with a little gloomy expression.
"I hate it, I hate it very much."
White snowflakes fell, and Ling muttered as he looked at the passers-by hurrying by on the street
