Nangong Zhe quietly listened to Li Yang's words, stretched out his trembling hands and took the black sword beside his bed. He held the black sword tightly in his arms. The coldness of the black sword was transmitted to Nangong Zhe's body through the bandages.
It was only a weak coldness, but it made Nangong Zhe's whole body tremble.
"Li Yang …"
"I understand what you said. I also understand what you want to say. "
"But, understanding doesn't mean I can do it."
"I'm different from you."
"I've only lived for a little over ten years, and more than half of my memories have been sealed by someone!"
"I killed a lot of people in the past few years. At the beginning, I was scared. Every night when I closed my eyes, I could see the people I killed looking at me with bloodstains on their faces. Although they didn't say any words of hatred, my heart was scared to death. "
"But, I endured it."
"No matter how uncomfortable I felt, no matter how guilty I felt, I had to endure it. Because, my sister. My only family in the world is waiting for me to come home. My sister's stable life in Wood leaf needs my protection. "
"So, I can only keep killing. Whether it's the Sand, the Rock, or the Mist. Whether it's civilians or ninjas. I can only kill them one by one. "
"I know very well what will happen if I keep going on this road."
"Sooner or later, I will end up like White Fang."
"That's it, I won't have a good death."
"Used by others, betrayed by others. Become a bargaining chip for others. "
"But I still resolutely do it."
"There's no high goal. Peace in the Ninja World, the will of fire. What does it have to do with me? I'm not such a great person. "
"The whole education system in Wood leaf is to brainwash the villagers. Let them be instilled with the consciousness of sacrificing for the village. "
"But I'm not a person who was raised in the village. When I was struggling to survive in Konoha's subordinate towns, when I saw Konoha's ninjas who looked kind on the surface, but were actually arrogant, I already understood! There's no one in this world who fights for justice. They're just wearing the tiger's skin of justice and pursuing their own interests. "
"If a person really only pursues peace, then he will become a weapon for others. If a person keeps kindness in his heart, then his life will be taken by others. "
"The Sand ninjas call me Yama. What is Yama? To say it nicely, it's a person who harvests lives, to say it bluntly, an ugly demon. "
"I decided to become an evil demon for Ru Rou's sake. But if such a person deceives me, what should I do? "
"Li Yang … The reason why I escaped from Konoha was because of you. Not only because I wanted to escape but because I wanted to escape. More importantly, I don't want my most important spiritual pillar to be destroyed by my own hands! "
Nangong Zhe didn't cry. His voice didn't even contain the slightest trace of sadness.
Every word he said was calm and steady. It could be said that he didn't have any emotional fluctuations. These heart-wrenching words made it seem like he was narrating someone else's story.
However, the black sword in Nangong Zhe's arms trembled slightly.
His knuckles turned white as he gripped the black sword too tightly.
Nangong Zhe's internal energy, which had been exhausted from healing his injuries, was now flowing rapidly. It was clearly a small stream, but it flowed like a river.
Li Yang could feel all of this.
Her heart and body were one, so Li Yang could feel Nangong Zhe's anxiety and grief.
Nangong Zhe said a lot, including many important things.
Nangong Rou was Nangong Zhe's life support.
This world was destined to be filled with sorrow. People wanted to protect themselves and the things they cherished. It was inevitable that they would hurt others.
Businessmen exploited the commoners so that their families could live a better life.
Commoners smashed, looted, and became bandits in order to survive.
Ninjas controlled their martial arts and collected huge amounts of money in order to have enough income.
Aristocrats, in order to maintain their ruling status, kneeled down and licked ninjas' boots and continued to exploit the commoners.
Which of these simple words didn't represent rolling tears of blood?
In this world, who wasn't a sinner?
Therefore, a person had to have something to rely on in order to maintain their true self.
What would happen if the Sustenance collapsed? No one knew.
"Kid! You won't destroy your thing with your own hands! "
Li Yang said with determination.
"Why? I can't find any reason to forgive Rou Rou! "
Nangong Zhe curled his body and hugged the black sword even tighter as he muttered.
"Hehe … I've lived for so long. How could I not know about the filth between people? But sometimes, the path that people face is wrong. Now, to you, a crack has been pried open in your relationship with your sister. It's meaningless to try to mend it! But … what if this crack is only on the surface? "
Li Yang's words had a hidden meaning, and he was secretly giving Nangong Zhe pointers.
"You mean, I don't hate Rou Rou?"
Nangong Zhe was very smart. When he heard Li Yang's words, he instantly understood Li Yang's meaning.
"If you really can't resist your sister. You won't leave Wood Leaf at all. If you really can't forgive your sister's deceit, you won't still call her by her nickname! Memories were only a part of one's life, but they were not everything. Your sister's care and affection for you has never been hypocritical! "
Li Yang said with a trembling voice. Every word was like a sledgehammer hammering Nangong Zhe's heart.
Suddenly, Nangong Zhe seemed to hear a voice whispering in his ear.
It was constantly persuading him to return to Wood Leaf. Ask for the truth, and let him truly let go of his worries.
The voice kept getting louder and louder, and it kept echoing.
"Ah!"
Nangong Zhe cried out softly. He endured the pain in his body and stood up. He used his hands to remove the bandages on his body. He walked to the clothes rack, took off his clothes, and put them on. Holding the black sword and his gauntlet, Nangong Zhe opened the door and walked out.
"Gong Gong! What are you doing! "
Seeing Nangong Zhe like this, Mashiro immediately rushed over.
"Your injuries haven't healed yet, forcing yourself like this. What do you think? "
Mashiro stared into Nangong Zhe's eyes, and the anger in his heart suddenly exploded.
"I want to go back!"
Nangong Zhe looked at Mashiro and said emotionlessly.
In Mashiro's eyes, he seemed to have become a stranger that Nangong Zhe met by chance. A feeling of abandonment enveloped his heart.
Nangong Zhe looked at Mashiro. Mashiro's eyes were filled with tears. He raised his right hand and was about to slap Nangong Zhe's face.
However, he still stopped. She could only cover her mouth to make herself softer. He turned around and ran away!
