Chapter Ninety-Seven: "Born to Die"
Inside an inn in Yunin Village.
Ghost Lantern Shuiyue kept rubbing his fingers, carefully feeling the incision of the broken knife, and his expression kept changing like gradually heated water-
The face went from disappointment and regret at first, to suspicion and curiosity, to the excitement of a child discovering a new toy, and then to intensify.
"Teacher, how did you do that?"
He cut off the sword to the point of righteousness.
"The feel of this section is not like it was interrupted with huge force, otherwise it would not be so smooth. Supposedly, your tattered chakra knife should be far less sturdy than the Thunder Knife and Thunder Tooth, right? ”
It's incredible.
The seven ninja knives of the seven ninja swords are the greatest wealth of the Fog Hidden Village, and each one alone has a value of tens of millions, and its quality can be seen.
Among them, the Thunder Knife and Thunder Tooth are chakra weapons specially designed to guide and amplify lightning, and they must be able to withstand extremely high temperatures, so their hardness is also the first to bear the brunt, but now it has become the appearance in front of them.
So the ghost lantern water moon can't help but be curious.
"I'm not your teacher."
I don't know how many times it was emphasized.
However, after emphasizing, he still patiently answered the doubts of the ghost lamp Shuiyue.
He stretched out his right hand, his index finger and middle finger together, and a transparent blade of water with a rolling edge like a chainsaw suddenly appeared, and hissed.
Ghost Lantern Shuiyue seemed to understand something, and immediately handed the half of the thunder blade side connected to the handle towards the water blade, and then he really saw-
The water blade that was rolling at high speed at the edge actually slowly cut through the surface of the thunder fang, and kept making a piercing hiss, as if the broken knife was wailing in pain.
During last night's battle, the Black Hoe Thunder Fang, which was able to perform large-scale thunderstorming in combination with the weather, did cause a lot of trouble to Yiyong at first.
However, with the unfolding of Nagi, the final type of Water Breath, no matter how strong the thunder escape hits Yi Yong, it will only be re-decomposed into chakra to replenish itself.
In desperation, Black Hoe Thunder Fang had no choice but to fight Yi Yong in close quarters, but his ninja sword skills were really terrifying.
The two fought less than three times, and he could only raise his double knives to barely defend, and it was at that time that Thunder Dao Thunder Tooth was cut (sawed) off because of his hard resistance to Yi Yong's water blade.
In the next second, Black Hoe Thunder Fang lost his life.
Back to the present.
Seeing the scene in front of her, Ghost Lantern Shuiyue threw her thunder teeth on the ground with a bang, pointed to Yiyong's right hand and said loudly: "Teacher, I want to learn this!" ”
As long as he thinks of the desperate expression when his opponent's weapon is destroyed when he fights with someone, the ghost lamp Shui Yue is dark for no reason.
A day ago, his dream was to be like his brother Ghost Lantern Full Moon, master the seven ninja swords, and learn to use all kinds of cool techniques to disassemble the enemy's body.
And yet, now—
"When I learn this technique, I must use it to destroy all seven ninja swords! In this way, the most precious inheritance treasure of Wuyin has also been cut off! That's what I'm supposed to cut off! ”
The ghost lamp and water moon were used on all four legs, and they crawled to Yiyong's side, smiling all over their faces, and they looked like they were going to give the latter a shoulder massage.
"Teacher, I don't want this knife, I won't escape anyway, it's better for you to keep it for money! But as a reward for your disciples, how about you teach me this technique? I won't pester you to learn anything else until I learn it. ”
"You guy, you really don't have any dignity......"
The nine-tails lying on Yiyong's head stared at Shui Yue and complained.
Ghost Lantern Shui Yue waved his hand indifferently: "In this world, strength is dignity!" My eldest brother talks about this every day. A guy with only dignity can't survive in Wuyin Village! ”
Yi Yong looked at the water blade at the end of his fingers, and then at the ghost lamp Shui Yue's longing face, thought about it carefully, and finally nodded.
"This is the reward for your help to me before, and it has nothing to do with the so-called 'disciple's gift'. In any case, I won't teach you knife skills. ”
Yi Yong emphasized again, "Our journey is very dangerous next, you better leave!" ”
"Teacher, whatever you say is what you say."
Ghost Lantern Shuiyue received a satisfactory reply, with a warm face, an expression that I would not be hurt no matter what you say.
"As for the ghost place in Wuyin Village, how can you find it if there is no one to lead the way? Bringing you all the way to Mizukage, and then watching you kill him or be killed by him, is what I should do as a disciple! As for the danger, my eldest brother sent me to Yunin Village just to avoid the danger, but what happened? If you hadn't shown up in time, teacher, I would have almost been gouged out of my liver and eaten...... Come to think of it, it's safer to be in Wuyin Village! ”
“……”
[It's really good to say.] 】
Yi Yong was speechless, and secretly envied the talent of the ghost lamp Shui Yue.
At this time, his mental exhaustion had already reached a critical point, and he didn't want to worry about these with the other party anymore, so he took out the "textbook" notes prepared for him by Itachi when he was learning Shui Dun from the scroll, and took the first page off the loose-leaf buckle.
"Since you have to follow, learn on your own. You won't be asking me again. ”
"Oh!" Ghost Lantern Shuiyue happily took the piece of paper, his eyes roughly swept over it.
The smooth font on the obverse is the Uchiha Itachi's basic analysis of this technique, including the order and rhythm of the seals, as well as some knowledge of the nature of chakras and morphological changes.
The font on the back is like a print, which is the "homework" of Yiyong's study. It includes the trajectory of this technique in the chakra meridians, and the know-how to perform morphological changes.
All in all, the principle and operation of the Water Blade Slash is written on this piece of paper far more clearly than the Water Escape Scroll of the Second Hokage.
Even the ghost lantern Shuiyue didn't expect Yiyong to be so generous.
"Teacher! I'll definitely learn this soon! ”
[I wish you had spent more time......]
After doing all this, Yi Yong resisted the urge to yawn, lifted the Nine-Tails off the top of his head, and rested it on the table.
"What are you doing?!" The Nine-Tails roared in exasperation.
I'm just starting to feel comfortable!
It feels like a human being has been forcibly pulled out of a warm quilt in winter.
"It should take a while for the ship to be built, and I must rest."
Yi Yong explained expressionlessly, but with the pair of deep dark circles under his eyes, it was particularly convincing, "Before you go to sea, if you have something you want to buy, go buy it quickly." ”
As he spoke, he took the water escape notebook in his arms, then took off the storage scroll and rolled towards the ghost lamp water moon.
"If you must go with us to the Land of Water, buy some supplies for me; As for what you want to buy, take it as payment. ”
Speaking of this, Yi Yong suddenly remembered something, and added: "That, my twin brother likes to read villain books very much, if there are any special comics here, please help me buy some and put them together with the other books in the scroll." ”
Anyway, it's a drop-by.,Just ask this kid.,After all, he's about the same age as Zuosuke.,You should know what type of comics Zuosuke likes.。
"No problem! Mission completion guaranteed! ”
Ghost Lantern Shuiyue immediately patted her chest, and her jelly-like body was so strong that she was dented. "Teacher, leave everything to me! Please rest assured! ”
Yi Yong was powerless to refute, got up and pulled the sliding door to the inner room and walked in, like an old father who went home with a ninety-nine-six chin.
Ghost Lantern Shuiyue's eyes were very sharp, and he immediately noticed that there was still a person lying on the floor in the middle of the room, with purple hair, who should be the child that the teacher rescued from the black hoe Thunder Ya.
As the sliding door closed, Ghost Lantern Shuiyue also retracted his gaze, unfolded the scroll and poured out all the items classified as "books".
Ghost Lantern Shuiyue originally wanted to see if there were any villain books that could be referenced, but he didn't expect that the villain book was not found, but there were many unexpected gains.
For example, the top two books, "Konoha Historical Hokage Events Record" and "Knot: Streamlined and Efficient", are written by Sarutobi and Senjukuma.
Even if you are not a ninja, you know one of the two most important names in the world, not to mention the ghost lantern Suizuki.
"Oh, these are all school textbooks, is the teacher actually a student of Konoha Ninja School, no wonder he always says that he is not a ninja. I didn't expect him to be so good, and he didn't forget to review when he came out to play, which was really hard. ”
The Nine-Tails jumped onto the shoulders of the ghost lantern Shui Yue, and was speechless to the extreme of Yiyong's sense of secrecy.
Anyone who sees these textbooks with obvious stances will guess that he is a student of Konoha Ninja School!
In this way, what is the use of this pseudonym of "Tomioka Yoshitoshi"?
But Nine-Tails turned his head and thought about it, these books were originally shoehorned into Zuo Suke, and the paralyzed little ghost had long forgotten about it.
What a careless guy! On the contrary, it looks like a big purgatory Xingjulang, but his heart is as careful as a hair.
"Well, why does this book still have a book cover?"
Among the more than a dozen textbooks, a special existence suddenly attracted the attention of Ghost Lantern Shuiyue, "Could it be that the teacher has a special collection of subjects, and he often reads them, so he wrapped the book cover?" ”
But as the cover was opened, the eyes of the ghost lamp Shui Yue lit up!
The Nine-Tails also showed a breathtaking expression!
Unexpected! Unexpectedly!
This facial paralysis imp who looks so serious that he can't be serious anymore would actually hide this kind of adult magazine privately! He even wrapped the book jacket with a thief's heart!
"Is this a teacher's hobby? No wonder he looks so mature, it turns out that he likes to read 'adult books'. ”
The speed of the ghost light water moon flipping book is very fast, and this kind of thing is obviously not the first time to read it, but he prefers to cut people, and he is not interested in the big sister in swimsuits or anything.
At this time, what flashed in his eyes was not the curiosity of the pre-adolescent boy of the opposite sex, but a special touch of cunning.
"You can't judge a person's preferences based solely on appearances.
"However, the magazines in the Fire Country are still too conservative. It's hard to get the Yunin Village, how can you do it without bringing some special products back? When the teacher finds out about the gift I prepared for him, he will definitely feel understood! At that time, he was so moved that he might have taught me everything! ”
Thinking of this, Ghost Lantern Shuiyue didn't hesitate any longer, and after putting away the things, he walked out of the room briskly as if receiving the award, only the voices of him and the Nine-Tails came in through the crack in the door.
"Hey, where are you going now?"
"Of course, I'm going to buy a few Oiran collector's photo albums!"
"Don't forget to wrap your book jackets!"
"I don't need to tell you that I know! How can I embarrass a teacher? ”
……
At the same time, in the middle of the world, Yiyong is unaware of what is happening outside.
He pressed the bridge of his nose and slowly walked over to the purple-haired boy with his eyes closed and looked like corpses and knelt down, his eyes sweeping from top to bottom.
"You're awake." Yi Yong was a little surprised.
The child's body was so weak that at first glance, there was no difference between being awake and asleep.
The demolished Ranmaru opened his eyes, and his originally cute face was numb like a wooden corpse, staring at the ceiling vacantly.
"I just don't know how to face you."
Despite saying this, Ranmaru still turned his head: "I know that you killed Thunder Fang, but I don't hate you. Both Raya and I knew that this day would come sooner or later, but I didn't expect that it wasn't the Kirist Shinobi we had been fearing that killed him. ”
Speaking of this, Ranmaru asked suspiciously, "It's just that I don't understand, why don't you kill me together?" ”
"You're different." Yi Yong replied expressionlessly, "Kill Black Hoe Thunder Fang because he is too harmful, and if you don't kill him, more people will be killed last night." I don't kill you because you don't have the ability to harm others at all. ”
"Is that so?" Ranmaru lowered his eyelids in some frustration.
"It's just that Thunder Tooth is dead, and I, a useless person, have neither a way to live nor a reason to live."
At this point, he looked up at the blade at Yiyong's waist, and was about to speak, only to see Yiyong suddenly lying on the floor next to him without warning.
Two equally godless eyes exchanged glances.
"I know what you're going to say."
Yi Yong said slowly, "Ten hours ago, a mist ninja named Taketori Che asked me to do the same. ”
Hearing this, Lan Maru's face turned slightly bloody: "Then did you promise him?" ”
Yi Yong didn't answer, but felt an indescribable anger that was gradually drowning his tired body and spirit.
What kind of past can make a child less than ten years old burst out with such a strong vitality when he begs for death?!
Is this also a manifestation of "life to death"?
For the first time, lifelessness sounded like a compliment.
"I'm so tired."
Yi Yong felt a wave of dizziness and lay on his side with his eyes closed.
"Just like you, I'm ...... now There was no strength left to raise the knife again. ”
As silence came, Yi Yong quickly fell into a deep sleep.
Ranmaru froze in place.
For a long time, he struggled to prop up his upper body with his arms, and reached out to grab the knife at Yiyong's waist.
However, halfway through his hand, a gust of wind blew in through the crack in the window, and Ranmaru's delicate body suddenly shivered.
He withdrew his hand, looked at Yiyong, who didn't even make a breathing sound, sighed, and slowly moved the quilt covering him.
