Ranmaru also had parents who loved him.

At that time, his family was relatively wealthy and unlike ordinary peasant families, they needed him as a labor force.

Therefore, although Ranmaru has been weak since he was a child and can barely walk, this does not affect his parents' love for him at all.

When his father went to surrounding cities to do business, he would occasionally put him in a backpack and take him to see the spring, summer, autumn and winter outside.

After returning home, his mother would hold him and watch the goldfish, and from time to time she would also let him do things within his power like choosing vegetables.

Overall, his childhood was quite satisfactory and he did not feel that his life was worthless.

But the good times didn't last long.

One cold winter, his father went out on business but did not return for a long time. Ranmaru's mother was very anxious.

On the way to find her husband, in order to see further, she accidentally exposed the limits of her inheritance——

Her eyes glow red, and she can see through mountains and walls, and can even see things two or three kilometers away.

If it were in another country, with blood inheritance limits, it might be a helicopter for class jump.

But it's different in the land of water.

According to the orders of Kirigakure, people with this special ability are equivalent to "spies" in terms of status. Once discovered, they must be arrested and reported immediately, otherwise the entire village will be executed for "harboring spies."

Coupled with the fact that blood successors often cause casualties when awakening, life in the Kingdom of Water is extremely difficult for these special individuals, and they are easily targeted by the public.

But the village where Ranmaru lived was not that cruel yet.

The insiders in the village reached a consensus and decided to hide the story of Ranmaru's mother.

But in order for her not to be discovered by Kirigakure and implicate everyone, Ranmaru's mother must leave the village on her own.

In this way, the mother distributed the family property to the villagers, hoping that they could take care of Ranwan's daily life and food, and she embarked on a journey to continue looking for her husband.

On the day of farewell, her mother walked very fast, not daring to look back at all, and soon disappeared from Ranmaru's sight.

The young Ranmaru didn't know the real reason why his mother left. But since then, he has never seen his parents again.

Later, the village chief moved into his home, and Ranmaru was moved into a cabin that was more "suitable" for him.

Except for someone who provides him with food and handles his toilet regularly every day, he has been lying in that dark room, and it is difficult to even move.

The long-term lonely life made Ranmaru unbearable. He also wanted to see the world outside the hut, communicate with other people, and find out the whereabouts of his mother.

Perhaps this desire was too strong. One day Ranmaru suddenly discovered that his eyes could actually see through the wall and see people working in the fields at the edge of the village from a distance.

He was so happy that he immediately found the villager who brought him food every day, and saw that the villager accidentally cut his finger while harvesting food.

That night, the villager came to deliver food to Ranmaru as usual, and Ranmaru, who didn't know much about Kirigakure's rules, told him about the cut on his finger in order to express his concern, thus exposing his ability. He was so scared that the other party ran away, and the matter spread. More people knew about it than last time, and they couldn't hide it.

The village is in trouble.

First, because Ranmaru is incapacitated, he cannot leave voluntarily like his mother. But if he stays in the village, he will be discovered sooner or later.

Secondly, if Ranmaru's situation is reported to the Kirigakure Village, his mother will probably be involved. Once the Kirito ninja is interested in investigating, they will all suffer.

After much deliberation, the only way was to kill the child.

But everyone in the village has shared Ranmaru's property, and no one wants to be this ungrateful person.

Discussions went on and on, and finally the village came to a decision - to do nothing. Literally do nothing.

Anyway, Ranwan could barely walk and had no ability to take care of himself. As long as he stopped giving him food, Ranwan would starve to death sooner or later.

In this way, hidden dangers that threaten everyone's survival can be eliminated, and no one will have to get blood on their hands. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?

However, although things are well planned, there are always some unfounded worries.

Many people don't understand what the blood inheritance limit is, so they listen to rumors and demonize it.

These people were worried that Ranmaru, as a "monster", would not only not starve to death, but would suddenly break out and kill like those special beings in other villages, so they were worried and secretly reported to the Kiri Ninja. about this.

Just like that, five days later, Ranmaru, who was hungry, thirsty and dying, waited for the mist ninja Anbu Black Hoe Raiga who came to "pick him up".

Ranmaru's ability and his despair for life aroused the interest of Black Hoe Raiga, and a rather ironic result occurred——

Overnight, all the villagers except Ranmaru, the "monster", were wiped out. However, Ranmaru became an important partner in Black Hoe Leiya's personal care -

Black Hoe Raiga ensures Ranmaru's survival and serves as his legs to carry him around.

Ranmaru, on the other hand, relied on his eyes that could see through the fog to make Black Hoe Raiga's ninja career successful, and he was quickly promoted to one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

It seems that everything is going in the right direction.

Unfortunately, in Kirigakure Village, whoever gets promoted too quickly will be targeted by the Mizukage-sama with his strange mind.

The continuous assassinations made Black Hoe Lei Ya wake up——

If they continue to stay in this country, sooner or later he and Ranmaru will become the dead souls of other Kiri ninjas.

After much deliberation, Black Hoe Lei Ya accepted the task of "destroying the Tang Ninja Village" which seemed to be a suicide mission. He planned to take advantage of the chaos to kill the leader of the Tang Ninja Village, earn a bounty, and then escape. Ranmaru lived a wandering life together.

However, he did not expect the change of Yiyong.

"This is the story of me and Thunderfang."

Ranmaru held a warm cup of tea, but had no intention of drinking it.

"Leiya is dead. No matter what goals I have, I can't achieve them by myself. Without him, I'm just a cripple who can't even take care of myself. To me, continuing to live is the only thing left. It’s just pain.”

His purple eyes looked at the serious-faced Yiyong across the table through the steaming heat, feeling unspeakable envy in his heart.

He had obviously seen such a haggard person before. He had slept for less than four hours, and he did not look tired at all. He could only dream of having such a strong body. Even just to experience it for a day.

On the other side, Giyuu's eyes carefully scanned Ranmaru's body, but he spoke without warning: "The most powerful ninja in the world is also a cripple who can't take care of himself."

He naturally referred to the "Nagato" mentioned by Purgatory Anjuro.

Although the battle seemed to be a draw between the two, Anjuro made it very clear that the opponent seemed to have a very terrifying technique that he did not use.

"……is that so?"

Ranmaru didn't believe it in his heart, but Yiyong's face was too serious, and it didn't seem like he was talking casually.

"I never joke."

Giyuu said as if reciting his lines: "That man easily killed Sansho Hanzo with his unique pair of eyes. But if no one took care of him, he wouldn't be able to survive."

Ranmaru follows Black Hoe Raiga day and night, so of course he knows who Sansho Hanzo is.

Hearing Yiyong say this, he temporarily forgot his original intention of ending his life, and a trace of searching light came out of his eyes.

After all, the ninja mentioned by Giyuu has many similarities with himself at first glance.

Ranmaru asked: "Distinctive eyes? Is he in the same situation as me?"

"It's different. What he has should be the strongest blood inheritance limit in the world."

Giyuu told the truth, and the light in Ranmaru's eyes quickly went out.

"But you are better than him. I'm afraid he will never be able to stand up and walk in his life, but you can still do it."

The sudden turn of events caused Ranmaru to lose his mind for a moment, and then he realized what was happening and opened his eyes wide: "You just said..."

"I mean, there is still hope of curing your disease."

Yiyong was afraid that he wouldn't understand, so he changed his explanation.

"...But Lei Ya took me to find the best doctor in the Water Kingdom."

Ranmaru did not immediately believe Giyu's judgment, "They said this is a rare genetic disease and is a terminal illness. It will only get worse in the future and there is no possibility of cure."

"I know that this disease is called 'blood inheritance disease'. It mostly occurs in people with blood inheritance limits. It is caused by a serious imbalance between the mental and physical strength in the body."

Yiyong pointed to his eyes, "In your case, the mental power is too strong and corrodes the body. If my judgment is correct, since your eyes can see through the wall, you have never grown taller, except for vision. Your other senses are becoming more and more dull. On the contrary, you are dreaming more and more, and even after waking up, you can still remember every detail of the dream? "

"That's right." Ranmaru nodded more and more frequently, feeling a little more convinced of Giyuu in his heart.

After all, the doctors in the Land of Water couldn't explain his physical condition so clearly, which shows that Yiyong knows this disease very well.

"But, can this terminal disease really be cured?"

"Honestly, I don't know."

Yiyong shook his head.

Tsunade can't do it, but Orochimaru, who has studied the limits of blood to the extreme, can't do it. He can only keep trying.

"But you must be cured."

"But... why?"

Ranmaru tightened his grip on the tea cup, looking at Giyu with doubts in his eyes.

"We must have just met."

Yiyong was silent for a moment, and his eyes suddenly turned purple like sunset. The two magatama stones, one on the left and one on the right, slowly rotated. They looked much more energetic than before - at least they could reflect light.

"You..." Ranmaru felt a lot more relaxed when he was looked at by these eyes as soft as water.

These purple-red eyes greatly deflected his impression of Yiyong.

Ranmaru saw a vibrant new world beneath the mirror-like stagnant water, like an all-encompassing sea.

Yiyong saw his reaction and felt a little strange.

It is obvious that when a clan member opens the Sharingan, anyone who is targeted will be so frightened that they break out in cold sweat. Why does Ranmaru behave like this?

Is it because when his "Red Eye" is activated, it looks similar to the Sharingan, so I feel familiar with it?

"Although the colors are similar, we should not be related."

Giyong was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he explained: "Compared to the Sharingan, your 'red eyes' are more like a mutation of the Byakugan. If you want to explore your bloodline, it may be more appropriate to go to Konoha to find the Hyuga clan."

If some adjustments are made to the color of this child's hair and eyes - if the hair color is darker and the eye color is lighter, he will look quite similar to Hinata Hinata, maybe he actually has some roots.

"Since we have nothing to do with each other, why do you have to cure me?" Ranmaru asked seriously.

"Personally speaking, it's my brother who has the same disease as you."

Giyuu did not hide his inner thoughts, pointing to his eyes and said: "Although he got sick later than you, his condition is much more serious than yours because he used the Sharingan too frequently."

This is the result of Yiyong's observation through the transparent world.

"To put it simply, if I can cure you, I can cure my brother."

"That's right..." Ranmaru could barely accept this reason.

Sure enough, there is no such thing as unfounded goodwill in the world.

I am always in some strange place and have special value to others.

"But that's only one aspect."

Yiyong hasn't finished speaking yet.

He looked at Ranmaru quite formally, "Next, I'm going to the Kingdom of Water, to Kirigakure Village, and I may need your help. Curing your disease is my reward for asking for your help. Of course, if the cure No, I will take you home and take good care of you, this is my promise."

Seeing that Ranmaru seemed a little doubtful, Yiyong added in a serious tone: "My family is very rich, so there is no problem in providing for you."

"..." Ranmaru was a little speechless. Is the issue he was worried about money related to? The key is--

"What are you going to Kirigakure Village for? It's very dangerous there."

Although Ranmaru was asking a question, his dissuasion was clear in his words, "Don't talk about outsiders, even the Mist ninjas themselves don't know when they will be killed. The Fourth Mizukage Yagura has gone completely crazy, and everyone I don’t know what he wants to do.”

"I'm just going to kill him."

Ranmaru was horrified by what Giyuu said.

"If the person who made you an orphan and made more people like you become orphans is really this Mizukage; if killing that guy can change everything, then he is the target of my trip."

Giyuu said his plan seriously while taking out the map of the Kingdom of Water that he carried with him. There were still a lot of blank spaces on it.

"But this is my first time to go to Kirigakure Village, and I know very little about the situation there. You can see the fog of the Land of Water for Black Hoe Lei Ya, and you can definitely help me with this."

Yiyong leaned forward and spoke slightly faster.

"Due to my negligence last night, the dry Kakiba Whale launched a tsunami and destroyed all ships heading to the Water Country. Therefore, our arrival at the Water Country will be one to two days later than expected. In these one or two days , and we don’t know how many people will experience the same thing as you, or even more painful things than you.

"But, if you are here, with your eyes and experience in ninja activities with Black Hoe Thunder Fang, when we get to the Kingdom of Water, those fogs will no longer be an obstacle. In this way, because of my incompetence, The time wasted will be recovered, and even more may be saved.”

As soon as these words came out, Ranmaru felt that a huge responsibility fell from the sky, and he was overwhelmed and didn't know how to deal with it.

It was clear that a few minutes ago, all he wanted was a simple death...

But now, he seems to have become the most important link in the chain.

"Ranmaru."

Yiyong sincerely requested: "You chose to end your life simply because watching others die is more uncomfortable than dying yourself. I have experienced the same mood as you."

That was when his sister and Chiu Usagi died, and Giyuu fell into such great sadness that he couldn't even think.

"But your past should not become other people's future."

Jiyong stretched out a hand and spread it on the table.

This is what Mr. Kintaki told Giyuu after Souto's death, and he now relays these words to Ranmaru intact.

"I serve as the blade in your hand, and you serve as my eyes in the fog. In this way, we may be able to completely break the chain of tragedy. Do you really not want to try it?"

After a moment of silence, Ranmaru stretched out his right hand and held it with Giyuu.

In his short life, he had never felt for a moment that he was so important.

However, at this memorable moment, the sliding door was opened from the outside.

"Teacher, the boat you ordered is ready to launch -"

Oni Deng Suigetsu, carrying Nine Tails on his shoulder and wearing a black fox ear hairpin on his head, broke in and his voice stopped abruptly.

Seeing the two hands clasped together, and Ranmaru's face flushed with excitement...

Thinking of Yiyong's special "hobby", Gui Deng Shuiyue immediately thought a lot, so he hurriedly shouted:

"Teacher! Don't be fooled——

"He's a boy!"
