Like Naruto, Shiori would also have a cheerful tune in her head when she passed through the word "Raku".

As the song sounded, she couldn't help but think of the happy picture she had had. The difference between her and Naruto was that she didn't smile so exaggeratedly, she just smiled and her heart warmed.

In her memory, the first thing she "saw" was an old man with his hands on his back, dressed in a Hokage uniform, and with a peaceful smile on his face.

"Welcome to Konoha and from now on, we will be family......"

Thinking of this, Shiori was even happier. She couldn't help muttering in her heart: Speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've heard three generations of adults talk about his will to fire? I've heard it's brainwashing!

The further she walked, the happier she became, and the more memories she felt. At this moment, she remembered the scene of the first time she entered the bookstore.

"Little sister, this kind of comic is still too early for you. Also, our store can't sell books to minors. ”

Ah, this is the first time she secretly watched a "girl" comic and was caught by the bookstore owner.

Thinking of this, her smile brightened. Speaking of which, how did I answer the boss at the time? Yes! At that time, I said, "Why does the male protagonist understand so much?" This author's writing is illogical! The setting of the male protagonist is obviously a pure young man......"

Then, he was kicked out by the boss. Hehe, now that I think about it, it feels quite funny.

Then, she recalled the first time someone celebrated her birthday, the first time she went on a mission, the first time she completed an S-class mission, and the first time she led her subordinates......

As the memories continued, she felt as if she had fallen into endless ...... In canned honey, it is so sweet that it is hairy.

Suddenly, a teenager's voice appeared in her recollection, "Teacher Suicidal, aren't we going to come out here?" ”

That's the image of Naruto rescuing her from the enclosed space. That smiling face and the happiness of immortality, she will never forget it for the rest of her life!

And at that moment, she suddenly felt as if something had been stripped of her.

Immediately afterward, she realized that she couldn't be happier. There is even a feeling of tastelessness, just like the aesthetic fatigue caused by watching too many "girls".

Finally, when she looked up, she realized that the road had come to an end.

The next path is "pain".

She sighed, and it came anyway.

This is a past that she is very reluctant to face, and many times she would rather face treacherous enemies than reminisce about her childhood.

However, her hesitation was only exchanged for a ruthless kick.

With an angry shout: "Hurry up!" She only felt a pain in her back, and she flew forward.

Eventually, in an extremely embarrassing position, she landed on her face and entered the path of pain. She was furious, but she knew that she couldn't beat the so-called "Fifth Young Master." ”

Moreover, the memories that covered her ground did not allow her to think about anything else.

The song was replaced with an extremely sad one, and the memories were simply lightning strikes.

"Go away! Don't play with us! ”

"That's it! My mom said, don't play with wild seeds! ”

"Wait a minute! I've heard adults say that sprinkling beans can ward off evil spirits. Come on, I've got some beans here......"

"Hey, hey, hey! You're clearly a stone! ”

"I say it's a bean, it's a bean! Shiori Sato, don't run! ”

"Hey, hey! Playful! Shiori Sato! Don't run! Didn't you say you wanted to play with us? ”

It was memories of classmates and throwing small stones. Shiori's face became gloomy, and at this moment she only felt that her feet were filled with lead, compared to the word "music", this road was simply paved with thorns.

However, her painful struggle was exchanged for a very ugly roar from the fifth son.

"No matter how unwilling you are to face your dirty past, don't waste your time!" If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't interfere in the middle of the way, he would have kicked people a long time ago.

Sato clenched his fists, couldn't bear it anymore, and finally shouted angrily: "Shut up!" ”

The fifth prince didn't laugh angrily: "Hehe." Very good. ”

Then, he reached the end of the "Pain Road" first, where he would wait for her.

The root of the ear is finally quiet, but there are more painful memories waiting for her. Those wounds that had only healed with great difficulty were being ruthlessly peeled off at the moment, and they were still sprinkling a handful of salt in the sad song.

In my memory, it was a dim, damp room, and the cheap bed frame rattled because of a fat man.

The young and weak self, curled up, trying to retreat to the corner of the bed. However, the fat, drunken man who was called his stepfather was getting more and more excited.

His dark red lips were mixed with lewd saliva, and obscene foam was flying.

"Your mother owes me, let you pay it back!"

Shiori's hair was grabbed so hard that the pain and endless despair that came from her hair invaded her eyes.

Suddenly, Shiori didn't know where the courage came from, and she bit the man's arm.

At this moment, she actually has a kind of consciousness that she will die together.

The man was in pain, hammering her head hard and pulling her hair. "You madman! Loosen your mouth! Loosen my mouth! ”

Shiori's head had been smashed into a little dizzy, and then, without paying attention, the man's arm had already broken free from her mouth.

The man smirked, went crazy, and roared, "Good, good! I want you to know how good Lao Tzu is! ”

Shiori panicked, her head went blank, and then ...... Then she didn't know what she had done at the time, and when she reacted, she realized that she had inserted the scissors hidden under the pillow into the man's stomach.

I've saved myself, I'm defending myself, right? But where do I go next?

She panicked, completely unaware of what she was going to do.

Seconds later, she burst out of her filthy home, covered in blood and ragged.

She scanned her surroundings in a panic and saw that she was surrounded by people pointing fingers at her. But no one came to comfort him. Yes, just a faint sound of accusations.

"Don't go near her, she'll bring bad luck. Her mother made a deal with the devil and gave birth to her. ”

"Is it any wonder that her mother would marry a bad gambler?"

"Tut-tut! This body is full of blood, could it be, the demon in her body is out of control and kills people......"

"Huh! I just heard a movement, and she seems to have killed her stepfather! ”

"Ahh What a sin! Hurry up and report the crime! Ouch! This kind of demon should be on fire! ”

"That's it! Although he is not her biological father, he has raised her anyway. What a human animal......"

"White-eyed wolf! Why not die? ”

At this moment, she understood that in the sad world, there was no place for herself.

For no reason, she couldn't help but laugh. She didn't know what she was laughing at, she only knew that although she was laughing, her tears couldn't help but fall.

Obviously he is the victim, he has not done anything bad, why is he treated like this? Didn't the teachers in the school say, "When you are gentle with others, they will be gentle in return?" ”

Laughing and laughing, she couldn't help but cry bitterly.

In "The Road of Pain", Shiori recalls this period, first the corners of her mouth twitched, and then, as she did in childhood, laughed first and then cried. It's just that this time......

After learning from the pain, how painful is it?

What's even more painful is that the tune of "Pain Road" is getting sadder and sadter. Memories are like dog skin plasters, you can't shake them off, and they are mixed with a very tiresome smell.

In my memory, it was the picture of my mother when she was dying. She was sad, but not sad because her mother was about to leave.

In the picture, his neck is strangled by his mother, and his mother's vicious words are heard.

"As long as I kill you, I can make him regret selling me fake power! I'll kill you! ”

"Ahem, ahem!" Shiori coughed violently, but this could not be exchanged for the mercy of her biological mother. Mother's fingers were getting harder and harder.

She knew that her mother thought that her father had sold her fake power, so her mother wanted to kill herself to get revenge on her father. And it is precisely because of knowing the truth that Shiori is even more sad.

Looking at her mother's almost corroded face, Shiori gave up the struggle, and she told herself that it was not bad that her sad life had come to an end.

However, just as she was about to faint, her mother suddenly let go of her.

She had no joy of being rescued, and she coughed violently while clutching her throat. While looking at his mother's arms covered with black patches, it was the result of being eaten by that force, a power that did not belong to his mother.

But that is also the source of his own tragedy. Strength? Can one really do anything to gain power?

At this time, the mother finally calmed down, and she said slowly: "Go to Konoha and join Knight's family, he is your cousin." They owe me some favors. ”

Shiori wasn't happy because she knew her mother couldn't be so kind.

"I don't kill you, not because I love you. Rather, I can't lose the last vestige of humanity as a human being. ! I really regret giving birth to you! ”

After walking for a while, Shiori looked back and saw that her mother was turning into a large tree that emitted a black mist.

Tears fell from the two lines, and she didn't know whether it was for herself or for her mother.

But my mother's words, "I don't kill you, it's not because I love you." It haunted her like a nightmare.

I don't have any relatives, I always have. Isn't it?

At this time, the tune of "Painful Road" reaches its climax, and Shiori's mood also slides to its lowest point.

It's like the middle of winter coming, entering a moonless night.

However, it was at this moment that she suddenly saw a bright light. It was as if those familiar voices were ringing in my ears.

"Welcome to Konoha, we will be family from now on."

"Little sister, stop sneaking into my bookstore. If I am caught selling books to minors, I will be fined! Promise! This one is for you.,The male and female protagonists are sweeter.,And the illustrations are also in line with your age.。 ”

"Shiori, congratulations, you have become a qualified shinobi. Starting tomorrow, you'll also be on missions with your companions. ”

"Shiori, congratulations, you've become an excellent shinobi."

"Shiori-sensei!"

"Shiori-sensei!"

……

"Suicide teacher, aren't we just coming out? I said I could get you out, then I will! ”

The song of "The Painful Road" has ended, and Shiori has been fished out of the endless abyss. And she felt as if something had been stripped away.

There will be no more sorrow, and I don't know if this is a blessing or a misfortune.
