What did the radiance of the full moon indicate?
The wound did not open badly, but the bright red blood still stained his entire arm. He picked up the spare bandage on the table and stopped the situation from worsening.
He really didn't understand why he was involved in this matter.
The distance between them was neither friend nor foe. They were just constantly hovering at a boundary.
They were both members of Team Seven, but in fact, both of them maintained a certain attitude towards each other. To Sasuke, Starry Night was an existence that he could not compare to, and at the same time, it was another factor that motivated him to become stronger.
It wasn't exactly a friendship between competitors like Naruto, but it wasn't a goal that he wanted to surpass like Itachi.
Even he couldn't say it completely.
To Starry Night, she had already determined the value of Sasuke. Although he was very weak, he was still a boy who did not understand the injustice of the world. Her previous impression of Uchiha Itachi could prove that he would have the same shallow ability as her brother.
Therefore, she approved of that guy's decision to leave in order to become stronger!
Starry Night's opinion was often based on what she thought was right and wrong. All the judgments she had made were correct, and she would not stop him because of her identity as a Leaf Ninja.
Muye was a peaceful village, but if one wanted revenge, staying in such a place would definitely not yield any results.
Leaving was indeed the best choice.
Since that was the case, why did she have to do this?
" I only ask you this once, please…you must stop him…"
This was not the first time someone had begged her like this. Those who had been waiting to die in her hands in the past kept crying and wailing in a miserable manner, just to keep their dirty lives.
However, when he thought of the lives that his hands had killed, he realized that his life might be worse than theirs.
He suddenly laughed at himself, but he kept the smile on his face and closed his eyes indifferently.
It was an unusually quiet night!
On the night road, the moonlight was especially bright. The shade of the trees made it seem cold.
Sakura had told her that this road led directly to the village gate, so she was not surprised to see Uchiha here.
Sasuke sensed someone's breath and looked up at the person."I didn't expect you to really come."」
When he saw Sakura running towards Muye Hospital, perhaps it was just as she said, she was going to bring Starry Night over. However, he believed that the guy would not be so obedient. Although he thought so, he still stayed where he was, even though he had originally planned to leave.
Unexpectedly, she actually appeared in front of him.
Starry Night didn't reply. Instead, he asked,"I didn't expect you to still be here."」
Sasuke looked at the faint blood on the man's arm and knew the condition of the wound. However, even if he asked, Starry Night would not respond.
His gaze gradually met hers. Even though the distance between the two of them was not close, he could still see his own reflection in those blood-red eyes.
"I'm waiting for the question that you haven't answered before.」
Looking at him, Starry Night knew very well what Sasuke was talking about. He had indeed not answered that question directly.
"So I'll ask you again. Why were you there at that time?」
Starry Night had once told Sasuke that even if he knew why Uchiha Weasel wanted to kill his own people, he could not change the fact. Therefore, he left a secret about this matter and did not pursue it. Instead, he prioritized becoming stronger.
But in the end, he still had to figure out if the girl in front of him was an enemy.
Starry Night lowered his eyes.
" Would you believe me if I said it was a coincidence?"
The incident that happened when she was six years old, the agreement with Uchiha Tomitake, and the opportunity for Uchiha's Weasel Clan, was just a coincidence on the same day. Could such a ridiculous coincidence be believed?
Surprisingly, he believed it!
Starry Night had indeed heard him say that.
Sasuke never seemed to deny anything that Starry Night said. Even if he was suspicious, he still agreed with her theories or ideas.
Perhaps it was because he knew that Starry Night's judgment was above his.
She knew better than herself that lies could not hide everything.
"Even if that's the case, I won't go back on my word. I once asked you to see my strength clearly. I won't take back my words.」
When he left, he also made up his mind to give up all ties with Muye for revenge. He sacrificed the friendship he once had, just to obtain the desire to complete his goal.
"By killing that man, I can prove my true strength.」
Starry Night saw something in his eyes. His firm determination allowed her to predict the future.
Sasuke had such hatred because his parents and clansmen were killed by his brother, which triggered a deep pain that was enough to spread. However, Starry Night had lost what he could lose, so how could he understand the feeling of hatred?
The target of his revenge, Uchiha Weitake, could only be described as a " genius."
To Starry Night, a world that pursued peace was so foolish.
As long as there was a country, there would be no way to avoid war. Humans were creatures that had to benefit each other and survive. It was impossible to stop this instinct to kill.
She was a bloody example.
Sasuke stared at the person in front of him and suddenly asked,"Have you ever hated someone?」
Starry Night also looked at him, and time passed like an hourglass.
Silence spread between the two of them. After a long time, he said,"I don't have the right to hate anyone, because I've already suffered enough hate.」
The number of lives she had killed was an amount that even she could not count.
The hatred she bore was enough to make her wish she was dead.
When he returned from the previous mission, Sasuke had already heard about the fate that Red Lotus had brought to her outside Starry Night's ward. Her hands could not stop, and even if she was unwilling, she had to let her sword be stained with the blood of many people.
He had been living like this for a long time, and when Sasuke heard about this, he could not sort out his thoughts.
[Have you ever regretted it?]
Starry Night had told him that she had once desired power, and Sasuke could understand that she was not bound by the red lotus from birth. Her desire meant that it was her choice to be given the red lotus.
Since that was the case, had he ever regretted it?
There was no fluctuation in his deep eyes."I never regret the decisions I make.」
When he was three years old, he should have died. Red Lotus, who appeared in the dream, gave him a chance to live. This was the condition of the contract. The dead would be given a chance to be reborn, but Red Lotus also had control over her life.
The only reason she didn't regret it was because…she survived.
Sasuke got the answer from Starry Night's words. He looked at the full moon in the sky and returned to the original appearance.
[Why are you here?]
Starry Night also turned his gaze to the sky."If you don't leave now, don't even think about leaving."」
Without answering that question, even she could not explain the reason for her trip.
Sasuke's gaze when he looked at Starry Night was meaningful. He thought that this might be the last time he would see her, and he did not know how long it would be before he would see her again. There was no special meaning to it. It was just a subconscious attention.
She turned around and left. Starry Night looked at the back of the person and followed her back to the hospital. A sentence from behind made her stop in her tracks.
"Hey, you never seem to call me by my name.」
Her voice drifted into her ears along with the wind. She did not turn around and continued to walk forward.
The person behind him had already left after saying that.
