Naruto no moon

()Chapter 23: The clan leader expected by the clansmen

"You're injured!" A frightened voice came, making Touya raise his head with some effort to look at the person.

She forced a smile, but against the pale face she looked like a female ghost, especially terrifying: "It's you, Tomomi, why didn't you go with everyone?"

"I, I..." The petite girl hugged her shoulders, looking extremely uneasy: "It's nothing, just... just..."

"only?"

"Everyone... everyone... has become so scary..." After a moment of silence, Tomomi finally spoke: "They kept discussing, saying bad things about you, the patriarch... saying that you brought disaster to the family...

…”

"What about you? What do you think?" The girl just smiled and asked her.

"Of course I believe the patriarch! I know that there must be a reason why the patriarch asked us to leave. Although, although I don't understand it well...but I know that the patriarch did it for everyone's good! And...I have suffered so much

Serious injury..." After hearing Touya's question, the hamster-like girl shouted loudly without thinking. Of course, the sound became quieter as she went to the back.

"That's it..." The smile on Touya's face softened slightly. She could see that this child was telling the truth: "Next time, remember to call me sister, and Tomomi."

"ah?"

"Thank you..."

"Hey..." Youmei scratched her head stupidly and laughed twice, and then asked with concern: "Clan leader...sister, does your injury really not matter?"

Touye frowned, pressed his hand on the painful wound, and stood up unsteadily: "Ah, it doesn't matter..."

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl's vision went dark, and she suddenly fainted. The last image she had before she fell into coma was of Tomomi screaming and rushing towards her...

By the time she was woken up from her coma by a jolt, it was already afternoon.

"Are you awake? Patriarch." A calm voice came from below, and the girl realized that she was actually being carried on someone's back, and the person carrying her was none other than Sasaki.

"Yeah." She responded casually. She supported Sasaki's solid back with her hands and tried to get up. However, she fell back down again under the softness of her body. She looked at her palms in confusion, and her little head was full of doubts.

.

Sasaki naturally noticed the little girl's little move and immediately reminded him: "Clan leader, you were seriously injured before, so I took the secret medicine of the Minazuki clan for you. Although the effect is very good, it will have some side effects. Soon

It will disappear, please don’t worry.”

Hearing this, Touya finally felt relieved and lay on Sasaki's back, looking around: "Where are the clan members? Where are they?"

"Please rest assured that the clan members are all under the protection of other ninjas and are heading to the east sea according to your instructions. However, we are already a little behind in order to heal your injuries."

"Really..." The girl responded, lowered her head, and stopped talking. Naturally, the taciturn Sasaki would not take the initiative to speak.

After a long time, the girl rested her head on Sasaki's back, her tone seemed a little lonely: "Hey, Sasaki, tell me, did I do something wrong?"

"No." Sasaki replied affirmatively: "You are not wrong. Everything you have done is for Minazuki as a whole. Whether it is Lao Chan, Kaede, or other ninjas, we can all see your efforts, so...

"

He paused for a moment. For Sasaki, comforting people is really what he is least good at: "Please don't blame yourself..."

"Is...is that so..." After saying that, the girl suddenly remembered that she hadn't said this mantra for a long time. She used to use this sentence to pretend to be confused, or really confused, but since she came to this era,

, but I rarely use it anymore. Is there no such relaxing atmosphere? Are you overwhelmed by the heavy responsibility?

Smiling at herself, she continued: "Hey, Sasaki, actually, I am a person without talent..."

"you……"

"Please don't talk, listen to me... What I said is true. I don't have the talent to be a ninja. My body is weak, I don't have much chakra, and my reactions are a bit slow. So, I understood it a long time ago...

"

I don't have the talent to be a ninja.

"Of course, due to various chances and coincidences, I still became a ninja. I can even be more proud. I am already a ninja who has reached the top! But no matter what, my talents should be limited to this

Okay... At your request, I took over the heavy responsibility of Shui Wuyue and vowed to walk in front of you and create a world for the people of Shui Wuyue... But, in fact, I know in my heart,

I'm just an ordinary person, and I also don't have the spirit or talent to be a leader!"

Sasaki was stunned and didn't know what to say to comfort the girl with the bitterness on his back.

"But I still decided to go on and try my best... Then, I failed." The girl's calm voice came from his back: "Now, I have become a complete sinner, with my own hands

Ordering the killing of compatriots, killing so many clan members just for the sake of a 'mere' thing that might happen..."

Hehehehe...

A sarcastic laugh came from the girl's mouth, which made the old man feel even more unhappy. Then, she spoke what she had said at the beginning.

"From now on, your destiny is tied to me. Those who respond to me, stand up here, follow me, shout my name, remember my name here, the water does not have a moon to penetrate the night,

It’s for…”

At the end of the sentence, she couldn't talk any more and laughed softly, and then her voice gradually grew louder until it turned into a wild laugh that startled a crowd of birds.

After subduing her wild laughter, the girl lay dumbly on Sasaki's back. For a long time, she asked slightly melancholy: "Sasaki, tell me, why is this?"

The old man quickly gave the answer.

"Because you didn't do what they wanted and expected."

"No, just do what they expect..." the girl repeated in a daze.

"Yes, they hope to stay away from the war, but you just brought them to the Senju clan, on the cusp of the Ninja World War; they hope to live a peaceful life, without having to wander around, and you

But they escaped from the Thousand Hands Clan with them regardless of losses; they hoped to be with their relatives and brothers, but you ordered the execution of the rebels..."

The bitterness melted from the corner of her mouth, making the girl feel a little dazed: "But...all this I did is for them..."

"But they can't see it, they won't think about such distant things. They only see a clan leader who doesn't follow the clan's ideas. If you are a tyrant, then naturally they won't have anything to say, but very soon

Unfortunately, you are not."

Having said this, he sighed deeply.

"It is said that rumors only stop with the wise, but in this world, wise men are not always found, and there are so many fools..."

ps: It’s the weekend, what should I say...?
