With this feeling in mind, Uchiha Kaede walked back to the village.

It was getting late, there was no red glow, and the black added a touch of darkness to the sky, which was oppressive.

He looked up at the moon leaking out of his cheeks, and the oppressive feeling made him irritable, the air was like a mountain, heavy, and even more uncomfortable between breaths.

He looked down and pondered where these feelings were coming from.

There are no troubles that come for no reason, if there is, it must be something that is about to happen, maybe a little superstitious, but the sixth sense is like that......

The situation that can make Uchiha Kaede feel uneasy can only be related to himself, but he doesn't know prophecy, so he can only look for clues from the subtleties of daily life.

Unconsciously

He stepped over the fence and slowly walked into the village, greeted by a familiar girl, it was a girl who was still exaggerating her age, more precisely, a young girl about twelve years old, she stopped in the path of Uchiha Kaede's path and glanced at the frowning Uchiha Kaede, but this action did not attract his attention.

Finally, she stood on tiptoe, raised her right hand and waved it vigorously in front of his eyes, calling out in a whisper

"Sir."

However, it was not soft, if the girl took a knife and hit the neck of the person in front of her, it is estimated that he would react immediately......

In desperation, the girl slowly increased her voice, and finally became more like a roar

"Sir, sir! Mr!!! ”

As if awakened by a shock, Uchiha Kaede first looked confused, then looked around, touched his head in embarrassment, and laughed dryly at Petra

Seeing the person who came back to her senses, the girl breathed a sigh of relief and asked with concern

"What's wrong with you, you don't look like you're going to be able to give up."

"It's fine, just thinking about something."

"Oh... That's right. ”

“……”

“……”

What followed was silence between each other, Uchiha Kaede felt that there was nothing to talk about, and Petra didn't know how to speak, she wanted to ask what was going on with the purple light in the sky just now, but she was afraid of being abrupt.

The air seemed to grow awkward.

Uchiha Kaede tilted her head, and seeing that the person in front of her had nothing to ask questions, she prepared to leave, but Petra still spoke

"What is the big purple ball of light that just rose from the forest?"

The girl bluntly asked him this familiar question, saying that it was familiar, because he felt that he should have been asked the same question, but he had no impression of the question in his memory, so he answered it absentmindedly

"Oh, that's just fireworks."

"Smoke... Firework? ”

"It's just looking at something flashy."

"It shouldn't be like that, right? No matter how you look at it, it looks like something extremely dangerous, and the people in the village are alarmed. ”

"Maybe they're just out to see the scenery......" Kaede Uchiha shrugged his shoulders and said disapprovingly.

"Uh......"

Petra's strange answer made Petra speechless for a while, and she didn't know how to answer.

The two fell silent again

The atmosphere made Petra uncomfortable, and she patted her cheek, feigning interest, and asked the listless Uchiha Kaede

"What do you think is the meaning of life, sir?"

"Huh!?"

The jumpy nature of the topic made Uchiha Kaede raise his eyebrows, and as if confirmed, he focused his gaze on the girl in front of him

"Why do you ask me? Wouldn't the adults in your family be better able to answer this question? ”

"No... Perhaps, Sir didn't notice that, although you look young, you have a temperament that is not something that ordinary people can have, and I am sure that you must have had a colorful experience. ”

"Colorful? Oh, that's an interesting statement, but it's also quite colorful. ”

"That's... You must have been to many places, seen many places that people are dizzying today, and seen all kinds of customs, right? ”

"Well, yes, but you should never get there......"

"For... Why? As long as it's a place to go, it should be ......"

"I'm sorry, I'm not from this world."

Uchiha Kaede shrugged his shoulders, ignoring the stunned girl in front of him who couldn't speak, as if he remembered something, he said

"I'm off track, so let's answer your question."

"Oh? Oh... Oooh! ”

"If you want to ask me about the meaning of life, then I can only answer" Saying this, Uchiha Kaede paused, as if summarizing, nodded unconsciously, and then shook his head again

"Life is meaningless."

"Huh!?"

"Life itself is fragile, death has always been with us, although to fight against it, but at most it is only a hundred years, but the process needs to overcome obstacles, even an unknown flower, a tiny creature, can take everything away from you in an instant."

Without waiting for the girl to react, Uchiha Kaede continued

"But that's just the easiest danger to avoid, you know what's the most sinister thing in the world? It is not a vicious and vicious person who makes the world angry and resentful, nor a bloodthirsty maniac who sets off a bloody storm, nor is it a fierce and vicious ruffian, but those well-dressed beasts who are kind and kind on the surface, amiable, and harmless to humans and animals! It is the treacherous heart of man! ”

“……”

"But everyone has those things, as long as there are no constraints, they will show their darkness to the world, sometimes for a glass of water, for a meal, they will remove their companions one by one, until the last self is left, as if they are ignorant and leisurely eat that peaceful dinner, drink the short antidote, as long as they can live, can live a little longer, live a day more, an hour, a minute, a second, they will not hesitate to release the darkness in their hearts, This is the inferior nature of human beings. ”

“……”

"I've seen too many deceptions between people, and I've also done it to the victim or the perpetrator."

Uchiha Kaede talked eloquently in front of the girl who was stunned by his words, and he didn't care whether he heard it or not, if it was just a girl's question asked on a whim out of pure curiosity at first, then now Uchiha Kaede is like looking for a listener, unreservedly revealing his values to the world

"I once did a mission, which was an intelligence escort, but on the way, for some reason, the escort's information was lost, and it was finally found out that it was stolen by a spy trained by a hostile ninja village.

However, in just a few days, we found the location of the man, he was in a village, and that place had already crossed the border, fortunately there were not many people in that village, and the area was not large, but we could not find any trace of the enemy. ”
