Ranmaru also had parents who loved him.

At that time, his family was quite wealthy, and he was not needed as a laborer like ordinary peasant families.

Therefore, although Ranmaru was weak and could barely walk on the ground since he was a child, this did not affect his parents' love for him in the slightest.

When my father went to the surrounding cities to do business, he would occasionally put him in a basket and take him to see the spring, summer, autumn and winter outside.

When he got home, his mother would hold him to watch the goldfish, and from time to time she would ask him to do things like choosing vegetables.

In general, his childhood was quite complete and he did not feel that his life was worthless.

But the good times were short-lived.

One bitterly cold winter, his father went out to do business but didn't return for a long time, and Ranmaru's mother was anxious.

On the way to find her husband, in order to see further, she accidentally exposed her blood inheritance limit-

Her eyes glowed red, and she could see through mountains and walls, even two or three kilometers away.

If it is in another country, with the blood inheritance limit, it may be a helicopter for class jump.

But it's different in the land of water.

According to the order of Wuyin Village, people with this special ability are equivalent to "spies" in terms of identity, and once discovered, they must be arrested and reported immediately, otherwise the entire village will be executed according to the "crime of harboring spies".

In addition, the awakening of the Blood Inheritance Limit often causes casualties, making the life of these special individuals in the Land of Water extremely difficult, and it is easy to be called the losers.

But the village where Ranmaru lives is not cruel enough to that extent.

The insiders in the village reached an agreement and decided to hide the matter from Ranmaru's mother.

But in order for her not to be discovered by the fog and affect everyone, Ranmaru's mother must leave the village on her own.

In this way, the mother divided the family's property among the villagers, hoping that they would be able to take care of Ranmaru's daily life and food, and she embarked on a journey to continue her search for her husband.

On the day of farewell, the mother walked so fast that she didn't dare to look back at all, and soon disappeared from Ranmaru's sight.

Young Ranmaru doesn't know the real reason for his mother's departure. Only since then, he has not seen his parents.

Later, the village chief moved into his house, and Ranmaru was moved into a cottage that was more "suitable" to him.

Except for someone who provided him with food and defecated at regular intervals every day, he had been lying in that dimly lit room, and it was difficult to even move.

The long solitude of life makes Ranmaru unbearable, and he also wants to see the world outside the hut, to communicate with other people, and to ask about his mother's whereabouts.

Perhaps this desire was too strong, and one day Ranmaru suddenly realized that his eyes could actually see through the walls and see the people working in the fields at the edge of the village.

He was so happy that he immediately found the villager who brought him food every day, and saw that he accidentally cut his finger while harvesting food.

That night, the villager came to deliver food to Ranmaru as always, and Ranmaru, who didn't know much about the rules of the fog, revealed his ability by telling the other party that his finger had been cut in order to show his concern. He was so frightened that the other party fled, and the matter spread, and the people who knew more than the last time couldn't hide it.

The village was in a difficult situation.

First, because Ranmaru is incapacitated, he can't let him leave on his own initiative like his mother. But if he stays in the village, sooner or later he will be discovered.

Second, if Ranmaru's situation was reported to the Fog Hidden Village, it would most likely involve his mother's affairs, and once the Misty Shinobi had the heart to investigate, they would all suffer.

After thinking about it, the only way is to kill this child.

But everyone in the village shared the family property of Ranmaru, and no one wanted to be this ungrateful person.

Discussions went on and on, and in the end the village made a decision - to do nothing. The kind that does nothing in the literal sense of the word.

Anyway, Ranmaru can barely walk, and he has no ability to take care of himself at all, as long as he doesn't send him food anymore, then Ranmaru will starve to death sooner or later.

In this way, not only can the hidden dangers that threaten everyone's survival be eliminated, but everyone's hands will not have to be stained with blood, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?

However, although things are well planned, there are always some people who are unfounded.

Many people don't understand what the Blood Succession Limit is, so they listen to rumors and demonize it.

These people were worried that Ranmaru, as a "youkai", would not only not be starved to death, but would suddenly explode and kill like those special beings in other villages, so they secretly reported the matter to Kiri Shinobi in a worried state.

In this way, five days later, Ranmaru, who was hungry and thirsty and dying, waited for the black hoe and thunder tooth of the dark part of the fog ninja who came to "hoe rape".

Ranmaru's abilities and his desperation for life aroused the interest of Black Hoe Thundertooth, and the rather ironic result was produced-

Overnight, except for the "monster" of Ranmaru, all the villagers were spared, and all of them were wiped out, and Ranmaru became an important partner in the personal care of Black Hoe Thunder Tooth-

The black hoe Raiya guarantees Ranmaru's survival and takes him around as a pair of legs.

Ranmaru, on the other hand, relied on those eyes that could see through the fog to make the ninja career of Black Hoe Thunder Fang invincible, and he was quickly promoted to one of the Seven Ninja Blades.

It seems that everything is going in a good direction.

It's a pity that in Wuyin Village, whoever is promoted too quickly will be targeted by that Mizukage with a clear brain circuit.

The successive assassinations made the black hoe Thundertooth wake up-

If he continues to stay in this country, he and Ranmaru will sooner or later become the ghosts of the other Kirist ninja's men.

After much thought, Black Hoe Thundertooth took over the task of "destroying the Tang Ninja Village" that seemed to be going to his death, intending to take advantage of the chaos to kill the leader of the Tang Ninja Village, earn a bounty and then flee, and live a wandering life with Ranmaru from then on.

It's just that he didn't expect the variable of righteousness.

……

"That's the story of me and Rayya."

Ranmaru held the warm teacup, but he didn't mean to drink it.

"Thundertooth is dead, and I can't achieve any goal alone. Without him, I'm just a cripple who can't even take care of myself. For me to stay alive, all that's left is pain. ”

His purple eyes looked at the righteous and brave with a serious face across the table through the steaming heat, and his heart was indescribably envious.

Obviously, he looked at such a haggard person before, he slept for less than four hours, and he didn't look tired at all, and he dreamed of having such a strong body. Even if it's just for a day.

On the other side, Yoshiyu's eyes carefully scanned Ranmaru's body, but without warning, a sentence came out of his mouth: "The most powerful ninja in the world is also a cripple who can't take care of himself." ”

He said it naturally as the "Nagato" mentioned by Kyojuro in Purgatory.

Although in that battle, it seemed that the two were tied, Kyojuro made it very clear that the other party seemed to have a very terrifying technique that was not used.

“…… Is that so? ”

Ranmaru didn't believe it in his heart, but Yiyong's face was too serious, and it didn't look like he was talking casually.

"I'm never joking."

Yi Yong recited the lines and said, "That person relied on a pair of unusual eyes to easily kill Hanzo Sanshoyu." But if there is no one to take care of him, he will not survive. ”

Ranmaru followed the black hoe Thunder Tooth day and night, and of course he knew who Hanzo Sansho was.

Hearing Yi Yong say this, he forgot his original intention of ending his life for a while, and a glimmer of inquiry welled up in his eyes.

After all, the ninja in Yiyong's mouth has many similarities with himself at first glance.

Ranmaru asked, "Eyes that are different?" Is he in the same situation as me? ”

"It's not the same. What he has should be the strongest blood inheritance limit in the world. ”

Yoshiyo told the truth, and the light in Ranmaru's eyes quickly went out.

"But you're better than him. I'm afraid he won't be able to stand up and walk for the rest of his life, but you're okay. ”

The sudden turn of events made Lan Maru's brain shut down for a moment, and then he reacted and opened his eyes wide: "What did you just say......"

"I mean, there's hope for a cure for your illness."

Yiyong was afraid that he wouldn't understand, so he changed his words.

“…… However, Raytooth took me to the best doctor in the Land of Water. ”

Ranmaru didn't immediately believe Yoshiyu's judgment, "They say that this is a rare genetic disease, a terminal disease, and it will only get worse and worse in the future, and there is no chance of curing it at all." ”

"I know that this disease is called 'blood succession disease', and it mostly occurs in people who have blood inheritance limits, because of the serious imbalance between the spiritual strength and physical strength in the body."

Yi Yong pointed to his eyes, "Your situation is that the spiritual power is too strong, eroding the physical body. If I'm right, your eyes haven't grown taller since you could see through the walls, and your senses have become duller and duller except sight. On the contrary, you have more and more dreams, and even when you wake up, you can remember every detail of your dreams. Is that so? ”

"That's right." Ranmaru nodded more and more frequently, and he felt a little more convinced of Yiyong in his heart.

After all, the doctor in the land of water couldn't explain his physical condition so clearly, which shows that Yiyong knows this disease very well.

"It's just, can this terminal illness really be cured?"

"Honestly, I don't know."

Yi Yong shook his head.

Tsunade can't do it on his side, but it's not impossible for Orochimaru, who has studied the blood inheritance limit to the extreme, so he can only keep trying.

"But you must be healed."

"But...... Why? ”

Ranmaru's hand holding the teacup tightened, and his eyes were full of doubts as he looked at Yoshiyu.

"We're just getting to know each other."

Yi Yong was silent for a moment, his eyes turned purple like the sunset, and the two magatas, one on the left and one on the right, slowly turned, looking much more energetic than before—at least reflective.

"You ......" Ranmaru was stared at by the eyes that were as soft as water, and his mood was actually a lot more relaxed.

These purple eyes made his impression of Yiyong deflect greatly.

Ranmaru saw a new world full of life beneath the mirror-like backwater, like an all-encompassing sea.

Yi Yong saw his reaction in his eyes, and felt a little strange in his heart.

As soon as the Ming clan opened the writing wheel, the people who were targeted would be scared into a cold sweat, why did Lan Maru behave like this?

Is it because when his "red eye" is activated, it looks very similar to the writing wheel eye, so it feels familiar?

"Although the colors are similar, we should not be related."

Yi Yong was afraid that he would misunderstand, and explained: "Compared to writing wheel eyes, your 'red eyes' are more like a mutation of white eyes. If you want to explore your own bloodline, maybe it's better to go to Konoha to find the Hyuga clan. ”

If you make some adjustments to this child's hair and eye color - the hair color is darker, the eye color is more intense, and it is quite similar to Hinata Hinata, maybe there is really some connection.

"Since we're not related, why do you have to heal me?" Ranmaru asked earnestly.

"Selfishly, it's my brother who has the same disease as you."

Yi Yong did not hide what he thought in his heart, pointed to his eyes and said: "Although he became ill later than you, he is much more serious than you because he uses the writing wheel eye too often. ”

This is the result of Yi Yong's observation through the transparent world.

"To put it simply, if I can cure you, I can cure my brother."

"That's right......" Ranmaru could barely accept the reason.

Sure enough, there is no such thing as unwarranted kindness.

I always have special value to others in some strange place.

"But that's only one aspect."

Yi Yong's words are not finished.

He looked at Lan Maru quite formally, "Next, I'm going to the Land of Water, to the Fog Hidden Village, maybe I need your help." Healing your illness is my reward for asking you for your help. Of course, if you can't be cured, I will also take you home and take good care of you, this is my promise. ”

Seeing Lan Maru seemed to be a little suspicious, Yi Yong added quite seriously: "My family is very rich, and there is no problem with you having one more person to eat." ”

"......" Ranmaru was a little speechless, was there a problem with money what he was worried about? The point is –

"What are you going to do in Fog Hidden Village? It's dangerous there. ”

Although Ranmaru is a question, the meaning of dissuasion is overflowing, "Don't talk about outsiders, even if it's Kirishinobi's own people, I don't know when I will be killed." The four generations of Mizukage have lost their positions, and they have gone completely crazy, and no one knows what he wants to do. ”

"I'm going to kill him."

Yoshiyu's words startled Ranmaru.

"If you are called an orphan, and more people like you are the initiator of orphans, it is really this Mizukage; If killing that guy can change all that, then he's the goal of my trip. ”

Yi Yong said his plan seriously, while taking out the map of the Water Country that he was carrying, there was still a lot of blank space on it.

"But this is my first time in Wuyin Village, and I don't know much about the situation there. If you can see the fog of the Land of Clear Water for Black Hoe Thunderfang, you will definitely be able to help me with this. ”

Yi Yong's body leaned forward, and the speed of his speech increased slightly.

"Last night, due to my negligence, the dried persimmon wave whale caused a tsunami to destroy all the ships heading to the water country, so we will arrive at the water country one or two days later than expected. We don't know how many of you will experience the same or even more painful things as you in one or two days.

"But if you're busy, with your eyes and experience in ninja activities with Black Hoe Thunderfang, those fogs won't be an obstacle when we get to the Land of Water. In this way, the time wasted because of my incompetence will be recovered, and even more may be saved. ”

As soon as these words came out, Ranmaru only felt that a huge responsibility fell from the sky, and he was overwhelmed, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

Obviously, a few minutes ago, all he wanted was a simple death......

But now, he seems to be the most important link in a chain.

"Ranmaru."

Yiyong sincerely pleaded: "You chose to end your own life because it was more uncomfortable to watch others die than to die yourself, and I have experienced the same mood as you. ”

It was when his sister and Rabbit died, and Yiyong fell into great grief and couldn't even think.

"But your past shouldn't be someone else's future."

Yi Yong stretched out a hand and spread it out on the table.

This is what Mr. Scales told Yoshiyo after the death of the rabbit, and he has now relayed it to Ranmaru as it is.

"I am the blade in your hand, and you are my eye in the mist. In this way, we may be able to break the chains of this tragedy once and for all. Don't you really want to try it? ”

After a moment of silence, Ranmaru stretched out his right hand and shook it with Yoshiyu.

In his not very long life, he never felt that he was so important.

However, at this memorable moment, the sliding door was opened from the outside.

"Teacher, the boat you ordered is ready to be launched—"

Carrying the nine-tails on her shoulders and wearing a black fox-eared hairpin on her head, Shui Yue, a ghost lantern, broke in, and her voice stopped abruptly.

Seeing the two hands that were clasped together, and Ranmaru's face flushed with excitement......

Thinking of Yi Yong's special "hobby" again, Ghost Lantern Shui Yue immediately made up a lot of brains, so he hurriedly shouted:

"Teacher! Don't be fooled –

"He's a boy!"
