Chapter 35: Reflection
The Land of Swords issued a proclamation not to participate in any village battles, abolished the kingship system, and Artoria succeeded him as the first Sword Shadow. The announcement of a small country will not cause any sensation in a large country, and the unique geographical environment of the country of swords can indeed allow it not to participate in the battles of other villages, and another such village is Takishinobi Village.
However, the rain ninja village, Hanzo, read this announcement, but it was, full of emotion, now, he is deep in the quagmire of war, if, back then, himself, also insisted, will there be a different solution?
However, in this world, there is no if, he still has to go on, and the ugly one-eyed man, keep going. The battles between Konoha and Iwa Shinobi, many of them, broke out in Rain Ninja Village, after all, the two big countries did not want to start a war in their own towns, and Rain Ninja Village complained.
The continuous fighting has caused the major powers to lose their troops sharply, but the war is like this, once it starts, they want to win, even if it is a war of attrition, everyone is on the move.
The people of Konoha are not as happy and smiling as before, firstly, the continuous war has made prices rise, and everyone's life has begun to become tight, and secondly, the bad war situation has made everyone worried.
A woman dressed simply and with her hair coiled came to the door, and soon was stopped by a ninja with a petite figure and an umbrella behind her back, and another more delicate woman on one side was also worried.
"Lord Wakaba commands that no one be allowed in." Enma Ai said lightly, obviously, she is like a machine now, only listening to Wakaba, this is also the agreement between Wakaba and her.
Ruoye Xiu looked at Su Su very expectantly, after all, she is also a very strong ninja of you, she can't do anything about it, she must be able to, her brother has been stuffy in the house, something will definitely happen.
Su Su glanced at Enma Ai and looked at the door.
"I'm not human." Su Su said lightly, as if he was telling a cold joke.
Enma Ai was stunned there, embarrassed for a moment, and didn't know what to say, Wakaba's order was not to let anyone in, but, this woman, is she really smart, or is she a fool, I'm not human?
Enma's expression was uncertain, and then, weakly, he put down his hand, after all, this was not within the order.
"I, I'm not human." Wakaba Xiu immediately drew a scoop on the gourd.
Enma is speechless, do you want to hurt yourself like this, but think about it, even if you don't stop it, this door is not so easy to open, this room should be prepared by Wakaba, a refuge room, so the door is full of special rune locks.
"Sister Xiuxiu, there are too many people, but it's not good, I'll persuade him." Su Su squeezed Wakaha-so's hand to reassure her.
"Okay, then I'll take care of the kids first." Ruoye Xiu nodded, to be honest, she is not very good at comforting people, she and her younger brother have more family affection, and between the two, they have more time to respect each other.
Su Su walked to the door and put his hand on the door, and then, the rune turned, the door opened, and Su Su walked in unhurriedly.
Enma loves to scratch their heads, is it that simple? However, she seemed to understand something, it is said that this bunker was designed by a high-ranking person, and if that high-ranking person was this woman, it would be easy to explain, and she could easily enter and exit.
A burst of wine smell came to her nose, Su Su didn't understand, she covered her nose slightly by using wine to kill her sorrows. This smell is a little unpleasant.
"Susu-" Wakaba looked up and glanced at Susu, who was sitting decadently under the bed, leaning against the bed, holding a wine bottle in his hand, on the side, still upright, upside down, a large number of bottles.
"Don't blame yourself too much, Niu Niu maybe, not dead yet." Su Su comforted, obviously, she was also sad about Niu Niu's matter.
"Don't comfort me, if, really, Yun Ren or Tu Ren captured Niu Niu, they will definitely come back to threaten me, but there is no news at all." Wakaba took another sip of wine.
For Niu Niu, he just understood Niu Niu's intentions, and before he could respond, she went, which made Wakaba's mood very sad, very regretful, and very painful.
"Perhaps, they have other plans. Don't think about things so pessimistically. Su Su leaned over and hugged Wakaba's head, such a Wakaba made her heart ache.
"I hurt her, perhaps, Niu Niu was not taken away by anyone at all, she must have been worried about my comfort, opened the eight doors, and as soon as the eight doors were opened, the whole body burned like fire, and there was not even ashes left. Not even the ashes are gone—woo-" Wakaba hugged Susu, unable to hold it back any longer, and began to cry.
Su Su's nose was sour, and she couldn't hold back her tears, falling down, obviously, she and Niu Niu are sisters, can she not be sad? Time is minute by minute, tears, probably music that tells the pain.
For a long time, Wakaba raised his head.
"Susu, why?"
"What, why?"
"Men like me, why do you still follow me, you should abandon me. You will surely find a man who is a thousand, ten thousand times better than me. Wakaba put his arms around Susu's waist, he hugged them very tightly, he was afraid of losing.
"Indeed, in this world, there are too many men who are better than you, they are heroes, they are heroes, they have saved many, many people, but so what? No matter how many people they saved, what was the point for us? When I was most helpless and desperate, it was you who saved me. Whether you are selfish, naïve, or scoundrel, there is one thing that can never be changed, that is, you saved me, it's as simple as that, so I will, always be with you, let time be like water, my heart is still the same. Su Su buried her head in Wakaba's arms, there is no absolute emotion in this world, she once hesitated, and she also thought about letting go. However, she still chose to protect after all.
Susu and Artoria grew up in different environments, Susu is a slave and has been bullied since she was a child, so she knows how to be grateful. And Artoria has lived in the royal family since she was a child, she has no worries about food and clothing, and she has what she wants, so such people are often more selfish, and they will prioritize their own interests. This is also the fundamental reason why Artoria abandoned Wakaba after her restoration.
"However, at that time, my purpose of saving you was not simple." Wakaba lowered her head, a look of shame.
"Isn't it nice not to be simple? If you were really simple, you wouldn't save me, we wouldn't be so close, and we wouldn't have the crystallization of love, we're all adults, now, what kind of simplicity, isn't it, it's naïve? Su Su stretched out his hand and gently touched Wakaba's face, a person who pursues perfection in everything is imperfect. ()
