The sand was flying in the air, and there was no vitality everywhere. The wind roared, and the sand was blown in all directions like a powerless person. There was no pause or sovereignty. In the flying sand, a pair of blood-red eyes gradually became clear until he saw the face of the person. The delicate face was like skin that could be broken by a blow.
The girl's figure gradually disappeared into the sandstorm, as if she would walk to the end. At this moment, there was only wind and sand left in the desert. There was nothing else. Even the aura of life seemed to have never existed.
Standing at the border of the Wind Country, Starry Night narrowed his eyes and looked at the buildings in front of him.
All that could be seen was grayish-yellow. There was no one standing guard at the gate connecting the village. It felt strange no matter what.
In the past, he had heard rumors about the Wind Country and the Muye Alliance, but they were still unfamiliar with each other. The Wind Country was most proud of the powerful weapon of the Sanin Village, I Love Luo of the Sand Waterfall.
He had heard of it but had never seen it before. He only knew that it was a red-haired boy carrying a gourd on his back. Blade had once told Starry Night that the person called I Love Luo's attack mode was very similar to his own eye technique. However, he needed sand as a medium and also as a human pillar of strength for a guardian crane.
The moment she took her first step, she was immediately attacked by sand arrows. She didn't expect to receive such special treatment just because she came to deliver a letter. No wonder the third-generation successor asked her to take on this mission.
Activating the red lotus, killing intent gradually surged out. He easily dodged the attack mechanism on the door and arrived at the village.
A scene flashed across his eyes. A gravel flying knife descended from the sky and headed toward the starry night. A red-haired youth appeared in front of him. " Then, just as he saw with his " precognition ", sand rain fell from above as fast as lightning.
To an ordinary person, this could be considered a fatal injury. Starry Night quickly dodged, but she did not expect that the sand rain would follow her as if it had a life of its own. When it was a few millimeters away from her, the flame-like chakra instantly turned into a flame shield to protect her.
There was no trace of surprise or panic on the girl's expression, as if she had already expected it. She looked at the person in front of her unscathed. The red-haired boy who stood in front of her also looked calm as if he had already known.
[Who are you?] Fiery red hair, green eyes, a gourd on his back, serious dark circles under his eyes, the word 'love' on his forehead, and extremely cold and hostile words. He really didn't know what to say when he appeared so quickly…
I Love Luo, who rarely went out, actually personally came to the village to stop people. It was really not like him. The truth was that he felt a strong killing intent that was enough to suppress people. He thought it was an enemy, but he did not expect it to be a girl who was the same age as him.
In Starry Night's eyes, I Love Luo was emitting a hostile killing intent, but it could not make her feel fear. It was not her will to activate the red lotus. Who knew that she would receive such special treatment as soon as she entered the door.
She released Red Lotus, and her murderous aura disappeared instantly. She was now just an ordinary Genin, and the feeling she had just now was very different."I'm here to send a letter to Windshade on behalf of Koba."」
"..." I Love Luo, who was puzzled by her relaxed attitude, noticed the wooden leaf symbol on her arm and put the sand back into the gourd, but the murderous aura did not decrease at all. She was actually able to walk through the desert without any injuries. There were no stains on her clothes and she looked relaxed. She was definitely not someone to be underestimated.
[May I ask where Windshade is?] Seeing that the other party didn't respond, she thought that he didn't understand her intentions. She repeated it again, but it still had the same reaction.
"..." I Love Luo looked at her a few times and retracted her killing intent. She recalled the burning flames in the girl's eyes just now. Now, they had turned blood red, giving off a completely different feeling.
Starry Night originally planned to give up and ask others for directions.」I Love Luo said emotionlessly, then turned around and walked away.
She obediently followed behind him a few meters away, not because she was afraid, but because she didn't want to get into unnecessary trouble.
Starry Night knew this person well, and he knew that he was just like him. His mother had passed away when he was born. After that, his father, Windshadow, did not love him much. He had never experienced true kinship...
The two of them came to a large door, and the word " Wind " was written on the door. The two guards standing by the door immediately broke out in a cold sweat when they saw I Love Luo. They avoided him as if they were looking at a monster.
I Love Luo glanced at them while Starry Night walked in normally.」A heavy man's voice came from the door. She guessed that it was the person she was looking for.
The door then opened. The inside was almost similar to Naruto's office. There were rare books placed around it, and there was only a table in the middle.
The fourth-generation Windshade didn't know if he felt I Love Luo's murderous aura or something else, but when he entered the door, he found a stranger behind him. He actually wasn't afraid of I Love Luo.』
[Naruto gave this to you on my behalf.] Starry Night broke the awkward atmosphere. As expected of father and son, they didn't like to talk either.
The man took the letter from her pocket and briefly read the contents. I Love Luo remained silent at the side.
Windshadow looked at the girl in front of him whom he had just met for the first time. Why would Mu Ye send you to deliver a letter?」Although delivering a letter was a simple mission, it would be difficult for a Genin to pass through the desert surrounding the Wind Country. He did not believe that Naruto would trust this Genin so much and recklessly let her carry out such a risky mission.
[You're overthinking it.] It was as calm as usual. It seemed that her news had not reached Sharen Village yet.
[Kankuro, Shouju, come out.]」After Windshade finished speaking, two figures appeared on both sides of I Love Luo."They are the Genin that our country is sending to participate in the Chuunin exam. When the time comes, please bring the three of you to Koba."」
Windshade calmly sized up Starry Night. His silver hair and blood-red pupils were unique, but his guesses were hidden in his heart.
Starry Night glanced at the other two. The blonde girl seemed to be a little older than her. She carried a big iron fan on her back. Then, she looked at the boy beside her. He was obviously older than her too. There were strange patterns on his face. Was it a hobby? He was dressed in black and was carrying something wrapped in bandages on his back…
A gourd, an iron fan, and something wrapped in bandages. Could it be that the Genin of the Wind Country liked to carry things all day?
This was Starry Night's first impression of Shinobu.
Kankuro looked at Starry Night with disdain. Perhaps it was because Starry Night was the same age as I Love Luo and didn't seem to care about people. Shouju only sized up Starry Night curiously, while I Love Luo was as cold as usual.
[I know.] Starry Night turned to look at Windshade.
He nodded in response and looked at the contents of the letter a few more times."The sandstorm tonight is not optimistic. I think you should set off tomorrow."」
Starry Night could sense that everyone else present was puzzled by this sentence, and he also suspected his intentions. However, since it was Windshade's request, he could only nod and accept it.」After saying that, he disappeared at a speed that the four of them could not make it in time.
"Lord Windshade, the weather around our village has always been like this. I don't understand why you would say that.」Shouju was puzzled. Although the weather today was very bad, it was not the worst. She did not think that she would change her scheduled departure schedule because of this.
He silently glanced at the letter." The date on this letter was two days ago…"
Hearing Wind Shadow's words, Shou Ju couldn't believe it."Two days ago? However, it would take at least four days to get here from Muye.」
[So, she traveled through the night for two days? I really can't tell." Kankuro said in admiration. There was actually someone like I Love Luo, and in addition to the starry night just now, there was nothing strange about it.
"Her identity is definitely not as simple as it seems.」He would find out the answer tonight. However, he did not expect that after Wind Shadow found out the truth, he would die at the hands of someone else.
Shouju and Kankuro quieted down. They were also curious about Starry Night's identity.
"..." I Love Luo maintained her cold expression.
The night gradually covered the entire Wind Country. The bright light was replaced by the dim silver moonlight, shining on the girl's body. It complemented her short silver hair, and her blood-red eyes looked very moving in the night.
This made Xingye realize that although sand was flying everywhere in Sharen Village, the moonlight was unimaginably beautiful at night. It was already the third day, but Xingye still did not feel sleepy at all. He planned to enjoy the moonlight for the first time in his life without sleeping.
She arrived at the rooftop where she could admire the moon from the best angle. Coincidentally, it was a full moon tonight. Under the moonlight, she could feel the faint silver light shining on her body.
Sensing a weak life in the corner, so weak that it was not enough to threaten anyone, he looked at the corner where it was difficult to notice a small animal trembling in fear.
It crouched down and stretched out its hand as if it wanted it to come over, but it hesitantly walked out of the shadows. On closer look, it turned out to be a black cat.
To humans, the black cat was a sign of disaster, but to Starry Night, human abuse was the real disaster. Seeing the girl waving at it, it was no longer so afraid as it slowly approached and licked her outstretched finger.
Starry Night gently rubbed the kitten's head with his hand, revealing a loving gaze.
"Meow ~" It meowed a few times, then snuggled into Starry Night's arms. It did not expect to be able to get close to a person it had just met. This black cat lived independently in this village full of sand, but now it was so dependent on the person in front of it…
The wind blew the sand into the air, and the girl's bangs covered her face, silently letting it lean on her chest. Her voice drifted in the night, so delicate that no one could hear it...
[You remind me of…my past self.]」Everything was so quiet. It felt as if all life and sound in this world had stopped.
"Come out. It doesn't seem good to just stand there.」
Looking up at the source of the gaze, a person walked out from the darkness. Under the moonlight, one could clearly see his facial features. His fiery red hair and green eyes, coupled with his emotionless eyes, immediately knew the identity of the person.
Their eyes met, and they looked at each other with the same gaze. Silence gradually spread between the two of them...
I Love Luo looked at Starry Night with no disgust or hostility, which made people confused. In fact, he already knew the girl's identity. He had heard about the White Reaper from Yaksha Maru in a conversation. Although he did not have any evidence, the murderous aura proved this fact.
White Death? Yakshabaru, was that person powerful? Did she kill a lot of people?』
"Yes, not to mention that he's only a five-year-old child..."
This person was very strong! I Love Luo was clear about this. This thought aroused his desire to fight. However, when he saw this scene, his heart inexplicably turned cold.
" However, I love Young Master Luo. That kind of child only embarked on such a path because he didn't have parents.』
The moonlight was obscured by the clouds, and the color in I Love Luo's eyes was also covered by the shadows.
Starry Night silently picked up the little thing in his arms and sat on the edge of the top floor. His feet were suspended in the air, and he continued to admire the full moon. He noticed that the young man behind him was still motionless.」
"..." I Love Luo glanced at her but did not move.
[The moonlight here is indeed very different.」When I Love Luo heard what she said, she also raised her head, but she felt that there was nothing different.
After a long time, he sat down with Starry Night.
The kitten jumped from Starry Night's arms to I Love Luo's thigh, rubbed against it a few times, then curled up into a ball of fur and fell asleep. The person was also stiff because he was not used to it.
Starry Night closed his eyes and thought quietly, saying lightly,"It likes you very much."」The plain voice could cause a ripple in I Love Luo's heart.
"Animals are always defenseless, especially towards people they think they can rely on..." she murmured, looking up at the full moon in the night sky and enjoying the wind."But in fact, they are the most real, so they are more reliable than humans.」
I Love Luo looked at the girl sitting beside her in surprise…
" Aren't you... afraid of me?" In the end, his tone was heavy. Although his expression was still so cold and unpredictable, this sentence was a little redundant. He just couldn't control himself from saying it.
Starry Night shook his head in worry. It wasn't like she didn't know what it felt like to be feared.
[We…are very similar.] They both had no parents 'past, and they had a cold personality. Even the meaning of their lives was so similar. They both existed to kill, right?
" She is very similar to you, but she is also completely different. I love Young Master Luo. Please remember this clearly.』
I Love Luo closed his eyes. This was the first time he denied Yakshamaru's words.
