In a few days, Starry Night had more or less recovered the strength to walk. Compared to the situation where he could not even move at the beginning, this could be considered a great fortune amidst misfortune!
Unable to stand the boredom in the hospital, she put on her coat and went to the roof of Muye Hospital. She looked up at the sky and was lost in thought.
Not long after, she tilted her head slightly and muttered to herself,"I keep feeling... I'm not used to it!」
When did Tian Ying arrive behind him? He followed his master's gaze and said,"Your power hasn't disappeared. It's just a matter of time."」
He didn't move an inch. There was still only room for his only master in front of him. He knew very well that with Starry Night's current body, even an ordinary thief could subdue her.
The current her was just an ordinary girl. To Starry Night, who had once yearned for an ordinary life, how should she face it?
Therefore, Tian Ying chose to stay. He had to protect this girl who survived in this cruel world.
He had once made such an oath…
……
During the period of conflict with the wolf tribe, he was one of them. The blue tattoo on his forehead took up more than half of his entire face. Therefore, to the proud and cold wolf clan, he had unintentionally become an existence that had to be eliminated.
When they first met, he was lying on the ground covered in blood, surrounded by wolves that were ready to charge at him and take his life.
His eyes were open and closed as if he was tired! He was also aware of this kind of unacknowledged self.
A series of miserable wolf howls rang out, and the surrounding wolves fell one by one. His gaze was locked on the petite figure that was difficult to capture. He did not expect that the person who saved him was only a three-year-old girl.
She walked forward and took out some healing herbs from her pocket and applied them on Tian Ying's wounds.
His silver hair shone with a faint silver light under the moonlight. There was a little blood on the corner of his white shirt, like a red flower blooming in the snow. His eyes were bloodshot, but there was no killing intent in them.
He wiped the evil color on the dagger and tilted his head slightly."If you have nowhere to go, come to me."」
……
After that, they made a contract.
[Sky Shadow, you will always follow me, right?」Her tone was very light, like a tired child who only wanted a comforting word.
"You saved my life. No matter what happens, I will follow you.」
She slowly closed her eyes. Her bandaged right arm was still hanging limply. No one knew what she was thinking.
Starry Night looked coldly at the nurse who was sweating in front of her. She couldn't even get out. She began to wonder if this was a hospital or a prison.
Indeed! There was nothing to do here, so of course she couldn't stand it.
[Miss Starry Night! You can't run around anymore, Master Tsunete told you to rest well!」The brave nurse stood in front of the starry night, and behind her was the hospital gate.
「……」
[Starry Night, you're giving me a headache!]」A helpless voice came from behind Starry Night.
She narrowed her eyes and walked past the nurse without looking back. Her pace was not as relaxed as before. From a distance, she looked like she would collapse at any moment.
[I will follow her, don't worry!]」Kakashi told the nurse.
Starry Night was wandering on the road. Actually, he didn't want to go anywhere. He just didn't want to stay in the hospital and suffocate to death. He had never been to a hospital before.
[Naruto and the others seem to have returned. Aren't you going to take a look?]」
Starry Night glanced sideways at a certain someone who was holding a book and stopped in his tracks.
Kakashi looked at her slow movements and was worried that she was not feeling well."What's wrong?」
[Why are you still approaching me?] He looked back at her and said in a very heavy tone,"I was the one who hurt that scar."」When he heard Starry Night's words, his hand unconsciously touched his chest. The wound at that time had almost recovered with the fifth generation Naruto's treatment, but because it was extremely deep, it left a scar.
The situation at that time was still very clear. It was as if all the memories had reappeared before his eyes.
Even so, he didn't regret it. At least he understood more about what this girl had to go through. She had been forced to kill people as a habit since she was young.
[This injury is nothing compared to yours, right?」This little injury is nothing compared to everything you've been facing.
She turned around and took a step forward, causing Kakashi to look at her back."I don't regret having this power.」
"If you were given a choice, what would your answer be?」Although he said that, he didn't understand that Starry Night had no other choice.
He muttered to himself," Without it, I wouldn't be standing here..."
[Do you believe me? I…died once." The real me died when I was three years old.
Kakashi was silent at first, repeatedly paying attention to the confusion that Starry Night had once again brought him.
The girl's back hid many things. From the first time he saw Starry Night, he was destined to be unable to guess all her thoughts.
At this moment, a voice interrupted their conversation.
[Starry Night! So you're here. When I went to the hospital to look for you, the nurse said that you ran out again.」Xiao Ying ran over from afar.
Starry Night turned around and looked at a certain girl whom he hadn't seen for a few days. When he heard the word " again " from her words, he didn't frown.
Sakura noticed Kakashi beside her."So Teacher Kakashi is here too."」
[Sakura, did you have a hard time coming back?」Kakashi returned to his usual smile, but this did not mean that he did not care about Starry Night's words.
[Ah? " Oh, something did happen, but the mission is completed…" Starry Night lowered his head, but he still caught the hurt in her eyes.
[I almost forgot, Starry Night. I remember that you really like it, so I bought it on the way back!]」
After Xiao Ying finished speaking, she remembered what she was holding in her hand.
Starry Night's eyes lit up instantly. Needless to say, he should have guessed that it was her favorite " chocolate."
Back at the hospital, Starry Night happily ate the chocolate that Xiao Ying gave her. It seemed like she hadn't eaten it for a long time.
Sakura and Naruto were sitting next to each other, talking about what had happened during the mission, such as Yi Tuotian, whom they had met in the Country of Tea, and Aoi, who had suddenly come out to stop them. Naruto did not miss a single word, and Starry Night was just an audience, but she did not listen to everything.
"You don't even know how dangerous it was at that time!」Naruto's expression was particularly exaggerated.
After Naruto kept talking about his heroic deeds, she also learned about Sasuke's injury from Sakura.
[Starry Night, we're going to see Sasuke. Do you want to come along?]」
The hand holding the chocolate paused and shook his head.
"Oh, okay. That starry night, you have to take good care of your body. Don't run around anymore!」Sakura left with Naruto after giving her advice.
"..." Why did she feel like she was being treated like a child? She was speechless.
The room regained its tranquility. She walked to the window with light steps. The window was always open, and the wind blew naturally into Starry Night's ears.
His gaze was locked on the clouds, as if he wanted to see through everything, but he could not get anything. Instead, the memories in his mind suddenly became clear.
" For atonement, offer the sweetest soul in the world!』
She didn't understand the meaning of the word 'sweet' but if it was referring to herself, she could understand that Red Lotus desired the dirtiest soul the most.
Her heart was filled with red, and it was no longer as clean as it looked on the outside.
He thought he was going to die again…
At the same time, he vaguely heard someone calling his name. Now that he thought about it, it seemed to be that guy's voice.
Sasuke Uchiha, Starry Night had never taken this person seriously. Perhaps everyone could not occupy any position in her heart, except for one person who had the same past and was the only person she regarded as a friend.
Suddenly, a patch of blood appeared in his mind. Starry Night shook his head as if he wanted to throw that feeling away, disrupting his thoughts.
"Meng Ji…"
This was another name Hong Lian gave her when she was three years old, which meant " a girl bound by dreams."
That year, she had long realized the equivalent exchange between life and freedom.
The night was terrifyingly quiet.
Today's full moon inexplicably reminded her of the blood moon in her memories. When she opened her eyes again, it was a pitch-black sky.
It was as if something had started to change. Everything had started at this moment!
Sakura came to Starry Night's ward with tears all over her face. She cried and gnashed her teeth."There's really no other way. I wanted to stop him, but it was useless."」
" Sasuke wanted to leave... leave Koba, I kept begging him... but he still wanted to leave..."
It was as if she was breaking down and her heart was in pain. Xiao Ying did not say anything about her confession because she had been rejected. Completely rejected.
[Starry Night, I only ask you this once, please…you must stop him, or it will be too late…]
Xiao Ying was so sad that she couldn't stand up. She fell to the ground and grabbed onto Starry Night's hands like a life-saving grass. Because she was too sad, she completely forgot that Starry Night's right arm was injured.
Looking at the person in front of her, her endless tears kept flowing down.
It wasn't that Starry Night couldn't guess that the guy would want to leave. With her personality, it was impossible for her to stop that guy. Perhaps it would be easier to just tell Sakura Uchiha that he wouldn't be coming back.
He had seen Xiao Ying cry countless times because he was annoyed by this girl's weakness.
A hand knife hit the back of her neck and Xiao Ying fainted. Starry Night's right arm was in pain from the pull just now.
A patch of bright red stained the entire bandage, and the wound seemed to have split open…
