Chapter 53: A Splash of Color
The rain was still dripping down the world, and there was no intention of stopping, and everything around it became blurry and bleak.
Yuba stood on the street blankly, the world in his eyes was dark, his whole body had been drenched, and the chakra in his body could somewhat resist some of the rain from the outside world, but he was too lazy to mention it. It's a little cold...
Then the rain seemed to stop suddenly, and I couldn't feel the touch of the rain drops hitting my body, and there was a blue floral umbrella slowly covering the top of Yuha's head. Yuba raised his head blankly, and what caught his eye was the familiar smile of Mr. Xiaoye, no matter what, it finally warmed Yuba's heart, but he didn't know what to say at this time.
"Are you going to visit my house?"
Without asking Yuba why she was here alone, a gentle smile flashed in the eyes behind the frames of her glasses.
This smile finally adds a little color to this bleak world...
"Hmm." Yuba didn't know how to do this kind of thing, and he had to make trouble for himself and the people who cared about him, so he nodded and agreed.
"Come with me."
Teacher Xiao Ye held an umbrella and led forward, Yuye followed her step by step, the teacher's umbrella was not big, barely able to cover two people, she always moved the umbrella to her side intentionally or unintentionally.
Yuye's heart warmed, and all the troubles and entanglements at this time finally retreated slightly in his heart.
Sayo-sensei's home is just an ordinary apartment, and she's just an ordinary shinobi after all, but she has everything she needs at home.
After arriving home, Mr. Sayo asked Yuba to sit on the sofa, found him a dry towel for him to wipe, and busily poured a cup of hot tea.
"Hungry? What do you want to eat? Teacher, my craft is not covered, let you see and understand. Sensei sat across from him, smiling with her cheeks cupped.
Yuba shook his head, to be honest, he hadn't eaten all day, but he was really not in the mood right now.
"Imp who is not frank." Sensei stretched out her finger and tapped it lightly on his forehead, then got up and stretched.
"Wait here for me for a moment."
Without waiting for Yuha's reaction, the teacher walked into the kitchen and brought out a box of hot buckets of instant noodles after a while.
Soak... Instant noodles?
Rao is Yuye's current state still couldn't help but say: "This is what you call craftsmanship?" ”
"Yes, I often eat instant noodles, and the level of instant noodles is S-grade."
Teacher Xiao Ye brought the instant noodles to the table in front of Yuba and said with a smile: "Don't dislike it, eat it quickly, poor little one." ”
Although he was not very satisfied with the teacher's title, Yuba had been able to smell the instant noodles, but he did become hungry, and he was not polite, so he just gobbled it up. After a while, a whole bowl of noodle soup was eaten by Yuba, and the whole body became warm from the inside out.
"Do you want more?"
"No, no, thank you for your hospitality." Yuba hurriedly waved his hand.
"Now, tell me about you..."
Inexplicably, he changed the topic, and Mr. Xiaoye's state switched quickly, and he was still smiling in the last second, and now he looks serious, and he is carefully preparing to listen. The originally relaxed expression on Yuha's face also disappeared, and he lowered his head and became lost again.
He didn't know if he should tell others what happened to him and what he was thinking, but he really should talk to someone, and Saya-sensei was undoubtedly someone he could trust.
Yuba wasn't the kind of person who was taciturn and could hold back his thoughts, so when he found the chatterbox, he told Mr. Xiaoye about Keiko's affairs, before and after, and all the causes and effects.
After listening to a lot of his words, Teacher Xiaoye was also a little emotional, and asked thoughtfully, "Do you think Keiko's idea is right?" She wants to pursue her life, she wants to leave Konoha and do you think she's right? ”
"I don't know if it's right or wrong, but I think it's certainly not bad for her to pursue her own freedom."
"Do you think you stopped her by mistake and killed her?"
Yuba subconsciously clenched his fists when he heard this, and Keiko's relieved smile before she died resurfaced in front of her eyes: "I really didn't want to stop them, even if they are spies, they have nothing to do with me, and Keiko is still my friend, but..."
"But they want to kill you, right?"
Yuba nodded in frustration, this matter was unsolvable from the beginning, because he was a person from Konoha, so even if Keiko believed him, Asama would not believe him, they wanted to fulfill their wish to fly away, and he Phoenix Temple Yuba had to die. And if Yuba wants to live, then the two of them will be unlucky, the world is like this, there is no perfect ending at all.
Yuba lowered his head and said in frustration: "They chased me all the way, and as a result, Asama died, and Keiko also died, but I didn't feel happy at all, or should I clap my hands?" ”
Teacher Koyo poured Yuba another cup of hot tea, and the tea swirled in the cup, steaming: "The world of ninjas is like this, if you want to live, you have to let others die..."
"I understand."
This is probably the biggest gain that Yuba got from this incident, maybe not only for the ninja world, but everywhere, but let him, a guy who lived in a moderate society in his previous life, peek into the cruel and terrifying side of the world.
Teacher Xiao Ye had pity in his eyes: "Experiencing this early may not be a good thing for you, this world is like this, the lovers of the sea oath alliance will not really stay together until old age, and close friends will kill each other, even if it is close to you, it may be close to you with ulterior motives." ”
"Each of us is like this, because of an inexplicable reason, inexplicable persistence, or inexplicable pursuit, so as to stand on different positions, there is no good and bad, right and wrong, justice and evil..."
"But Keiko's death..."
This is also a point that Yuba can't mind, it's not that Keiko has helped Asama, so he has to hate her to the core, he can understand Keiko's feelings, presumably it must be equally painful and tangled. Yuba has the ability to forgive Keiko and understand her thoughts, but it's a pity that he doesn't have the strength to save her.
"She didn't have to die..."
If Yuha hadn't met them in the hospital, she probably wouldn't have died.
If Yuha could stop the shadows, she might not die.
If Keiko could dispel the idea of begging for death, she might not die.
But Keiko dies in the end, and Yuba can't do anything...
Yuha's original intention of constantly cultivating and improving his strength was to protect himself and those who he valued, which was easy to say, but in the end, he found that not only the people he valued couldn't even protect himself.
He simply can't do anything...
