Chapter 17: Fate
On the grass outside the orphanage, Amber and Little Tan sat on the ground.
"Little Tan, do you see the brightest star in the sky?"
"Hmm!"
"I used to hear people say that when someone closest to her leaves, her soul will become a star to protect us. So you see, the dean is smiling at you. ”
"But... But I want the dean back. ”
Xiao Tan's mood was a little low.
"She can't come back."
Amber stroked the little girl's soft short hair, "So you have to live with the dean's share and a smile on your face." ”
"I see."
Charcoal buried her head in her knees, and Amber thought she was crying, but when the little girl raised her head again, her face was already full of smiles.
"Xiao Tan figured it out, even if the dean is not here, we still have Brother Amber!"
"Ha, go to bed early, or you'll have to stay in bed tomorrow."
Amber said softly, picked up Xiao Tan, and slowly walked into the house.
After rechecking to make sure all the children were covered with quilts, he stepped onto the grass again.
The moon flows like water, and the stars still shine.
The breeze blew, and the grass, which had been covered with a silver veil, bent over, as if to welcome Amber's arrival.
Raising his right arm, a pure white butterfly appeared out of thin air and landed on his fingertips.
Amber has very few ninjutsu, but there are too many chakras to be used, and with the exaggerated spiritual power of the one in the world of death, the thoughts that used to exist only in the brain are now easy to use.
For example, illusion.
By adjusting the spiritual frequency, he finally manifested the unimaginably large Yin Shield Chakra and created the butterfly in his hand.
It's simple, but it's very practical.
Anyone who sees this butterfly will be manipulated with all five senses.
With a flick of its wings, a figure fell out of the air.
This is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.
Amber looked at the pair of glasses and said in a somewhat inexplicable tone, "The wind has brought you back after all." ”
"You know me?!"
The boy pushed his glasses, he had learned everything from a certain snake, and was determined to follow the other, and this time he came back, just to break the bonds of the past.
"How could I not know my brother? Dou, it's painful, isn't it? ”
Amber looked at him with distressed eyes, and his tone was very gentle, "It's a pity that it's too late, your future is not in Konoha." ”
"You... Brother Amber, you really know me! ”
Dou was a little excited, even incredulous, "But why, why doesn't the dean know me anymore?" I... Kill... I killed her. ”
"That's the fate of ninjas."
Amber flicked her fingertips, and the butterfly danced, like a beating elf in the moonlight, "It is used as a tool, and those in power can discard it at will, you are so, and so is Ye Naiyu." ”
"You..."
Dou raised his head in astonishment, and after being silent for a long time, he said: "Brother Amber, you come with me, Lord Orochimaru has given me a new identity and a reason to live, and with your talents far higher than mine, you will definitely be valued." ”
"People who have an empty heart need that kind of thing."
Amber smiled and shook her head, "Let's go, we'll see you again." ”
"But..."
Dou wanted to say more, but unfortunately Amber was no longer willing to talk to him more.
Starting from his feet, his entire body turned into a large butterfly and dissipated, the same as the first one, but much smaller.
Over the years, he has been completing various missions for Danzo, gaining information and fighting many different ninjas.
The current situation is clearly an illusion.
But since when? He didn't even know about Chakra.
"Let's go..."
Orochimaru's low and hoarse voice sounded on the side, and he could hear the solemnity in it.
"Orochimaru-sama..."
"Hehe, I'm just looking at you, that kid just now is called Amber, right? I remember him as if he was shinobi. ”
Orochimaru licked his mouth with his tongue, "It's funny to think about staying in Konoha with such a person, hahaha." ”
"I see, Orochimaru-sama."
Looking at the orphanage under the moonlight, following the people around him, he gradually disappeared into the night.
……
……
Bang!
The door was pushed open, Xiao Tan raised his hands, and the two fleshy little short legs quickly fell upside down, and ran to the side of the bed.
"Brother Amber! The sun is all drying your buttocks, didn't you say today that you were going to buy ingredients for the kitchen, and you won't be able to buy fresh ones if you go late! ”
These words were often on the lips of Ye Naiyu in the past, and after Xiao Tan wrote it down, the strong sense of responsibility as a member of the orphanage made her feel that she should do something.
"Alright, alright, get up."
Amber shook his head helplessly, he had been researching his self-created illusion since he sent him away last night and frightened Orochimaru away.
This thing is very talented and brainy.
Fortunately, Amber is not lacking in these two points, and with a thick foundation, I can try it directly if I have any ideas.
It's a pity that after a busy night, there is no other progress at all except for being proficient.
It's not unexpected at all.
Perhaps, you can get some ninjutsu?
This thought flashed through and was suppressed in an instant, and now is not the time.
After putting on her ninja outfit, Amber tidied up the small charcoal with a cylinder of charcoal tied to her head, and put the bow behind her back in place.
When everything was done, the two walked outside together.
At this time, the children have already gotten up, and they also have things to do, such as collecting firewood, carrying water, cleaning up, and helping grandma in the kitchen.
"Brother Amber is only taking Xiao Tan alone, it's too eccentric!"
"That's right, that's right, Xiao Tan is stupid, he can't do it at all."
"I also want to buy ingredients, today is the day of the village market, and the streets will be very lively."
Listening to these gossips, Xiao Tan blushed angrily and shouted loudly: "You guys are talking nonsense, I am very capable, I can help Brother Amber carry vegetables, I can bargain with those merchants, well, I can also tell those things are fresh and not fresh!" ”
"We'll do it too!"
"Brother Amber is eccentric!"
"I'm going too!"
Xiao Tan didn't say that it was okay, but when he said that they were even more energetic.
Amber looked at the little girl and was about to cry, and couldn't help but rub her head with her hand, "Take Xiao Tan this time, I'll take you next time, after I leave, you have to take care of this place, besides, don't go to Grandma Qing!" ”
"Got it, Brother Amber can go with confidence."
The tallest and oldest child scratched his head and laughed.
"Well, I'll bring you three-color balls when I come back."
Amber smiled slightly, took Xiao Tan's right hand, one big and one small, and stepped on the morning sun to Konoha Market.
The road is a bit long, and you have to walk for more than half an hour.
