Forced to sell misery

-

"What is the meaning of your existence?"

A voice asked in the chaos.

"The meaning of existence?"

His entire body was immersed in the sticky black liquid, and Jing Ye slowly opened his eyes——

Can’t see… He can’t see anything.

Is this the final ending of the Sharingan - eternal darkness?

In the end, he couldn't avoid such a fate.

As for the meaning of existence?

no……

His answer was... No...

"Do you...want to be needed?"

the voice asked again.

Being needed?

Jing Ye was stunned.

——"If I am of no use, then there is no point in living..."

The voice said this.

A little light broke through the darkness, and then more light invaded -

A small figure walked in the mist. Along the way, figures appeared and disappeared, and finally, he was the only one left.

In a war with Kirigakure that he provoked without considering his own capabilities, his family, the Kaguya clan, was destroyed.

All the tribesmen died because of their over-inflated ambitions and their fanaticism for war and killing.

He is the only one left...

Why are you fighting... You don't even know who you are, you just keep fighting and killing...

What is the meaning of my existence?

The young Kimimaro walked in the snow, looking confused and at a loss.

-

Is this... Kimimaro's memory?

what happened?

The power of the Sharingan...is it out of control again?

Jing Ye lowered his head and looked at his illusory body.

He seemed to be experiencing the same situation again as when he and Kakashi went on a mission a long time ago and entered someone else's memory.

-

The fog grew thicker, as if all the noise had gone away.

"The flowers at that time."

Walking aimlessly, Kimimaro noticed a small white flower that was about to bloom under the tree.

"Why does it bloom in a place like this..."

He squatted down and looked at the small white flower waving in the cold wind, his big emerald green eyes full of confusion.

"Why don't you answer me..."

But how can a flower talk? It’s because he is too lonely... He has always been alone.

"Are you ignoring me too?"

In a place like this, clearly no one had ever seen me...

There's clearly no point in it blooming... so just destroy it!

Suddenly, there was an inexplicable anger in his heart, as well as an urge to destroy something. Kimimaro raised the bone spur in his hand.

"please stop."

Kimimaro turned around and saw a man in a kimono.

The man he had met...

"There must be no meaning in living," the man said, "but if you keep living, maybe you can find something interesting. Just like you met that flower, just like I met you."

A hand that was not warm but surprisingly soothing touched his cheek.

"Okay, let's go."

Inexplicably, the restless impulse in his blood, clamoring to kill and destroy something, strangely calmed down.

——He seemed to have found the meaning of his existence.

……

The fog grew thicker and thicker, eventually obscuring everything.

Consciousness returns to reality.

The sharp bone spur pierced his body, and the blood flowed along the bone spur that pierced his body, leaving a pool of blood on the ground.

The thick and sticky color in the pupils settled down again and disappeared.

The pain woke him up.

The weight of his entire body was on Kimimaro. Jingye put one hand on Kimimaro's shoulder and took a step back with difficulty.

As he retreated, the protruding bone spurs on Kimimaro's body were pulled out of his body at the same time. Jing Ye, with several bloody holes on his body for no apparent reason, staggered and fell to his knees on the ground.

Well……

It hurts.

Fortunately, he was stopped...the darkness within him.

But this time, the person who stopped him from going berserk seemed more eager to... kill him?

Jingye raised his hand, dipped his fingertips in the blood that flowed from his eyes, and dotted it on Kimimaro's forehead.

"Wake up."

After a moment of confusion, Kimimaro opened his eyes.

He looked at Jing Ye and didn't seem surprised.

The two just stared at each other.

"Are you needed?"

Struggling out of the cold and obscure emotions, Jingye looked straight into Kimimaro's eyes and asked.

"do you need me?"

Kimimaro asked back,

"I will obey Lord Orochimaru's orders. As long as Lord Jingye still needs me, my existence still has meaning..."

"Yes...I need you..."

Regardless of whether the bone spurs protruding from Kimimaro's body, which were still stained with his blood, would hurt him again, Jingye hugged Kimimaro uncontrollably, his body shaking uncontrollably, "I want you to live!"

It's... warm... normal human body temperature... not the temperature of death!

"Jingye...sir?"

The bone spurs on the surface of his body retracted into his body in accordance with his will, and did not hurt Uchiha Jingye who was holding him. Although he was a little puzzled, Kimimaro still let Jingye hold him tightly.

——Is this the feeling of actually existing and being needed by others?

Lord Orochimaru... Only Lord Orochimaru had ever given him such warmth...

But, it's already... too late...

sorry……

Kimimaro slowly closed his eyes.

At this moment, something strange happened——

A sound like a heartbeat sounded, and the runes on Kimimaro's chest suddenly rioted -

The black spots wandering on the cold white skin are particularly eye-catching.

"Cursed seal...?"

Jing Ye was shocked. He wanted to push Kimimaro away, but... he was still a step too late.

The black runes moved around like living things, spreading from Kimimaro's body to Jingye's body, starting from where Jingye's finger touched Kimimaro's forehead, and eroding his body bit by bit.

The cold, scaly touch tightened his body, and by the time Jing Ye could react, he had been entangled by a giant white-scaled snake that had appeared out of nowhere.

The cold fangs pierced his skin, and the burst of pain instantly deprived him of all his senses.

Orochimaru... this bastard...

He actually took advantage of the moment when his consciousness was eroded by darkness and he was unable to perceive... and attacked him by surprise!

The giant white-scaled snake that was wrapped around his body left, and Jing Ye’s eyes went dark.

However, his fallen body was propped up, and the cold touch of snake scales scratched his skin. His chin was pinched, and he was half-forced to raise his head. Jing Ye opened his eyes with difficulty and vaguely saw a blurry figure -

The snake's tail was retracted into the wide kimono and transformed into legs again. Orochimaru held Jingye's shoulders with one hand and pressed him against the stone wall to prevent him from falling. With the other hand, he pinched Jingye's chin and looked into his eyes.

"It's so beautiful..."

"I can't wait... to have you, Jingye-kun."

Approaching little by little, Orochimaru's cold fingers stroked the side of Jing Ye's neck, where there were three more magatama-like beads on the skin, representing the curse seal.

With an ambiguous laugh, feeling the subconscious shrinking reaction of Jing Ye's body, Orochimaru slowly approached Jing Ye, deliberately prolonging the time of torturing the prey that satisfied him before attacking, and chuckled in his ear.

"You can't escape..."

"you……"

His fingers trembled slightly, and Jing Ye tried to mobilize his chakra, but the sudden burst of pain on the side of his neck deprived him of all perception again -

hateful……

The body... is paralyzed!

"What a naughty child..."

Looking at Jing Ye playfully, Orochimaru sighed as he moved closer to the side of Jing Ye's neck and bit it again.

After a moment, the sharp fangs brought out a few drops of blood. Orochimaru stepped back and looked at the side of Jingye's neck with satisfaction. In addition to the original three black magatama, there were three more scarlet magatama.

"Heaven, Earth, Curse. My latest masterpiece -

"This is a gift for you, I hope you like it..."

"you this……"

Jing Ye opened his eyes with difficulty, as if he was pushed into magma and burned, and the chakra in his body began to boil - like a strong rejection reaction, the chakra in his body violently rejected the strange chakra of the curse seal -

It's not just natural energy, there must also be Orochimaru's chakra... God knows what this pervert did to the curse seal!

He could only risk using the power of the Sharingan...if it led to a rampage, he would drag Orochimaru down with him!

Black flames ignited out of nowhere, and the hand pressing on Jingye's shoulder was burned. Orochimaru pulled away and quickly retreated.

"asshole!"

His body lost support and Jing Ye fell to his knees, but the black flames burned more and more vigorously, and a huge black skeleton gradually appeared.

Orochimaru retreated to a safe distance, but found that the black flame was like a maggot on his tarsal bones and he could not get rid of it at all!

Soon, amid Orochimaru's screams, the black fire of Amaterasu quickly spread throughout his body.

"Even at this point, is there still room for resistance?"

The mouth opened to the limit that no human could reach, and a hand covered with mucus stretched out from the mouth.

The hoarse voice carried a hint of pain, and Orochimaru crawled out of the mouth before the flames completely destroyed his original body.

The old body was abandoned like a shed skin and was devoured by Amaterasu.

"You've completely pissed me off, Orochimaru."

A huge black shadow appeared, Jing Ye raised his head, revealing a pair of violent scarlet eyes.
