[Comprehensive] How to kill a rabid dog gently

Because people are always in the long river of time, people occasionally forget that time is also quietly flowing while walking.

The problems brought about by new alliances are always endless, but it is also in the process of trying to bridge them that the alliance named Konoha gradually has an entity in people's hearts. pass.

After the affairs are no longer so complicated and busy, Tobuma finally has time to do the things he is interested in... He has his own reference room, but in Cheng's opinion, it may be more appropriate to call it a ninjutsu research laboratory appropriate.

Such a place gave her a sense of familiarity and nostalgia, so since then, she seems to have spent a little longer with Tobima.

As it is now, Tomona is recording and correcting ninjutsu notes, and Cheng is beside him intently flipping through another volume, which has become a daily routine for the two of them.

It is strictly forbidden for idlers to enter the reference room in Togama, but Cheng has been allowed to come and go and read at will from the very beginning, and even to a certain extent, she acts as an assistant in Togama... If you want to evaluate her competence To a certain extent, at least before this, Tokaima has never met a more compatible assistant than her.

Tomona raised her head and found that what she was looking at was one of her past experiment notes.

"looking at what?"

"This volume is the volume of Multiple Shadow Clone Technique."

she sighed.

"Tokyo, this is really an amazing technique."

"It's also a very dangerous technique." He said, "Because the consumption of Chakra and energy is quite astonishing, it has no promotional value."

"But compared to Flying Thunder God, it's a little more difficult to learn..."

As he said that, Cheng put the scroll on his lap, and began to follow the instructions to try to make seals. After noticing this, Fumama leaned over to her, and closed the notebook with his hand.

After doing this, unconsciously, the distance between the two became very close, and the gaze between the two paused on the scroll, and then looked into her eyes calmly.

"This is a forbidden technique."

He held the spine of the book, trying to pull it away from Cheng's hand, but Cheng held it down.

"Can't even me see it?"

Cheng tilted his head and asked him.

There was silence for a while, and they didn't take it back forcefully, but they still stalemate gently centered on this volume of secret art.

"...If you study hastily, you will get hurt."

After a long time, Feijian said.

"If you want to learn, I will teach you."

"I think Tobima will probably be a good teacher."

Cheng laughed, and at the same time opened his hands lightly.

"In fact, I also know that I don't have the chakra capacity to undertake the multiple shadow clone technique... But, when the time is right, I can ask you..."

"Ah."

Tobima replied without hesitation, soft eyes flicked past his eyes, and then he retreated to the original place, stood up and placed the forbidden scroll.

"So, is there any new ninjutsu you're interested in recently, Tomagama?"

"..."

She hit the spot.

Tomona hesitated a little, then frankly admitted.

"Yes."

"As expected." Cheng smiled, "Because I always feel that you seem to have entered that state of concentration again..."

"Can you feel it?"

"can."

Senshou Feima is a ninja who has been tempered on the battlefield since he was a child. Even in life, he abides by the rules of keeping calm and minimizing information leakage. He is confident that there is nothing in himself that can be seen through at a glance. However, Cheng was able to discover his thoughts and thoughts from it, and the reason behind it——

Could he presumptuously think that he had been completely reflected in her eyes, and she was still watching him now, so even the slightest change could be captured.

"What kind of technique is it this time? Is it an improved basic ninjutsu or a space ninjutsu?"

"neither."

Out of some concerns, Tokima hesitated a little, but told her the truth.

"Yes, the ninjutsu that awakens the dead."

Even judging from Cheng's experience, which is much more than ordinary people, such a thing as resurrection from the dead is a bit shocking, so she couldn't help being stunned for a moment before continuing to confirm and question.

"The technique of resurrection... Is such a technique actually achievable?"

"This is not a technique of resurrection, it's just arousing the consciousness of the dead again." He said, "The dead are still dead, and they just return to the world temporarily in the form of clay for the caster to drive - precisely because they are already dead. The dead, the body that will not die again can maximize their combat effectiveness..."

He keenly noticed that Cheng frowned slightly, and his expression changed.

"What's wrong, Cheng?"

"...I understand that your starting point for studying this kind of ninjutsu is to expand combat power without increasing casualties. In the final analysis, it is also to protect the living."

She thought about it and said slowly.

"But in my opinion... this seems a little too cruel to the dead."

"After death, you can still exert power for the living who still have a future, which is to continue their value in life."

Said between the doors.

"I thought so."

"Takama you... should I say you are stubborn or honest." Saying this, Cheng relaxed his expression, "I didn't mean to stop you, if you can really achieve this kind of ninjutsu, it is the rules of the world that allow it to exist , I didn't deny your position, it's just..."

"Just what?"

Cheng smiled, some emotions were gently and indistinctly hidden from her eyes.

"It's just that I always feel that when a person dies, his connection with this world is severed." She replied, "Even at the moment of death, that person may still have regrets, and there are still many dissatisfaction and resentment. , but ah... to die is to die, he is now staggered from the path of the living, and there is no possibility of overlapping."

Having said that, Cheng was silent for a while.

"Tobima, where do you think people go after death?"

He thought for a while and gave his own answer.

"Probably going to the kingdom of the dead that we don't know about."

"Really, there is such a possibility..." She narrowed her eyes, "It would be great if it was a place where you can find peace."

Suddenly, something indescribable struck the door, and he didn't know if it was because of her expression... Cheng Mingming was smiling, but there was an extremely shallow, undetectable melancholy hidden in that smile.

There was a sour stagnation in his chest, he didn't want to see her sad expression, but the fact that she even expressed her sadness so euphemistically seemed to make him a little more painful.

"However, we can't understand everyone's thoughts." Feeling the atmosphere becoming a little heavy, she said in a light voice, "Whether the summoned dead want to sleep in silence or return to the world, I don't know of."

"But no matter what, I am still in awe of death..."

Finally, Cheng sighed softly.

"In the vast majority of cases, it's irreparable, farewell."

"Cheng..."

Tobima subconsciously called her name, but it was out of his unreasonable sense of anxiety, in fact, he didn't know what to say to her.

Fortunately, when Qianshoubanjian began to regret bringing up this ominous topic, another incident diverted his attention.

"This Chakra is..."

He said suddenly, while looking out the window.

"They're back."

Although there was no clear reference in Toikama's words, Cheng quickly realized that he was referring to Hashirama and Madara who had been away for several days.

——The reason why they need to use the power of both of them at the same time is because this time they are facing several tailed beasts whose power is so huge that they are close to natural disasters.

"...No." Tokama hesitated, "That guy... Chakra feels a little strange."

Cheng was shocked when he heard the words, and couldn't help standing up.

"Don't worry, although I don't want to admit it, Uchiha Madara is a rare strong man in the world, and it's not so easy to get into trouble."

He glanced at her.

"I'll take you there."

"...Then Madara, he just took Kyuubi's full blow, and his whole body was wrapped in flames filled with Kyuubi's chakra."

Hashirama described the scene at that time with great interest.

"I almost thought he was defeated by this move, his heart stopped beating for a few times-but he rushed out of the foxfire with the susanogu immediately, and the nine tails had no power to fight back, and he was defeated in a short time. "

He concluded with a tone of exclamation.

"Blade is really strong!"

Tobima looked at Hashirama with a disapproving look, but Cheng was also present at the moment, so he temporarily suppressed his dissatisfaction.

Uchiha Madara on the side didn't care about Tomona's reaction at all, he waited patiently for Hashirama to finish telling the story vividly, then turned his head and said to Cheng.

"The truth is basically what Hashirama said, I'm fine, it's just that I accidentally got its chakra breath during the battle with Kyuubi."

"..."

Cheng glanced over Hashirama's face first, and confirmed that there was no trace of worry in his expression, she finally put her mind at ease for the time being and believed Madara's words.

"Well, that appears to be the case."

Before Madara could respond, Cheng continued.

"However, considering that you have a large number of criminal records of concealing injuries, the inspection cannot be waived."

She stood up.

"Blade, come with me."

"...so stubborn."

Madara said helplessly, but still got up and followed her.

"...Madara, you have a side like that too."

Hashirama murmured.

Looking at the back of them leaving, Hearing this, he turned his face and asked.

"What did you say, brother?"

"Uh, no, how would I describe it..."

Hashirama recalled what he saw just now, Madara looked at Cheng's eyes.

He recalled the light in Madara's eyes when he was a boy and told him to find a way to eliminate the strife so as to protect the people he cared about.

"I just suddenly felt that it would be great to have that kid by my side."

Zhu Jian said.

"Using the kaleidoscope will still cause a burden to the eyes." Cheng's fingers brushed the chakra meridians around Madara's eyes, "Madara, I will try my best to delay the loss of your pupil power and vision. Impossible—but you also have to use the kaleidoscope as little as possible."

"Ah."

"..."

Cheng stared at the other party for a while, then sighed.

"That's what you told me before you left."

With her back to Madara, she put away the equipment for Madara's minor injuries.

"It's really worrying..."

This is a scene he is familiar with.

Madara quietly watched the slender lines of Cheng's back.

Her figure and voice are by her side. At this moment, Cheng always puts all her heart on herself. She may frown slightly because of worry, but it is these details that fail to hide her delicate and gentle tenderness. Mind.

Many memories were refracted in Uchiha Madara's heart again because of this deja vu scene, and the sense of peace he felt at those times surpassed even more times, and the cruelty and coldness faced by Madara, so that it still vividly remained in his heart at this moment.

Her existence reminds Madara of what she still has. Madara's conflict with this world that is difficult to match the ideal has repeatedly left him covered in bruises. She mends his wounds without a trace, so that they will not continue to swallow Uchiha Madara, and finally into a hollow of despair.

She has beautiful and powerful wings that can protect others.

But at the same time, she is also extremely fragile and can be easily hurt.

She is a bird made of transparent glass, never worried about her fragility, always flying to where the sun is.

However, Madara thought more than once...

If only she wasn't so brave and stubborn.

In the past, Madara's thinking stopped here, but for some reason, after the battle with Kyuubi, there was some unknown emotion that was as hot as magma surging in his chest.At first Madara just suppressed this unknown boredom and anxiety secretly, and didn't take this abnormality to heart, but this may become a mistake he made because of his ego.

Madara didn't realize in time that his thoughts were slipping into an abyss he had never reached... Or, that abyss was originally a real part of his heart, but he had blocked it intentionally or unintentionally before that.

Uchiha Madara thought.

She doesn't have to learn to be strong.

She can be more timid, so that she may stay behind her with peace of mind and accept her protection as a matter of course.

From the first step into the darkness, Madara has unconsciously walked deeper. At this time, those things that bound his heart are abandoned by him. The long-lost freedom and ease overwhelmed his torture and questioning of himself, and also Let the answer emerge clearly in his mind.

——In that case, just destroy her wings.

"!"

This terrifying thought made Madara suddenly realize that something was wrong, but it was too late, the evil aura from Nine-Tails' Chakra had already been entangled with his own Chakra, and the black agitation evoked by it was moving in the direction of tyranny Intensified.

Cheng suddenly heard the sound of being knocked over, she turned her head quickly, Madara put one hand on the scabbard beside her, threw it and the knife in the scabbard into the distance, he covered the place scratched by Kyuubi, The originally shallow wound began to open, and the Chakra breath leaking from it even Cheng could sense something was wrong.

"What's wrong? Your chakra—"

"Underestimated that wild fox..." Madara barely maintained his rationality, "You get out of here first..."

"No, Madara, I might be able to help."

As she spoke, she approached Madara, who was suppressing herself. The latter was almost startled, and instantly tensed up. Nine-Tails Chakra seized the opportunity, and the infection intensified a little bit. There was a lot of noisy voices, he stood silently in place, but Cheng didn't know what he was going through, and lowered his head to examine his wound.

The patched head was in pain, and the place she touched didn't feel soothed at all, but it ached like being roasted, and a part of his self-control was being destroyed, although he still seemed calm.

This is an experience that can even be called wonderful. His rationality was polluted and distorted by the endless anger and destructive desire from Kyuubi, but Uchiha Madara felt carefree and joyful instead, and his soul seemed to be unloaded. All burdened, pure and pure like never before, he also used this to see his own heart clearly.

Madara stared at the girl's defenseless nape, the world's noises crowding his head, but the dark voice was still clear.

The purer something should be, the more suitable it is to be left behind.

Uchiha Madara suddenly thought of this.

When her wrist was tightly clasped, Cheng didn't react, let alone stop or evade, she was pulled close to him almost roughly, and Cheng bumped into Madara's arms, her wrist hurt, but the next second, another kind of pain from the back of the neck.

Cheng immediately gritted his teeth, enduring the pain.

She was indeed as fragile as Madara imagined, and he easily bit her skin with just a little force, and the taste of blood spread on the tip of his tongue, irritating Madara's nerves.

"spot……?"

"Do not move."

Cheng made a slight movement, and Madara immediately held her in dissatisfaction. He imprisoned her in his right arm and pressed her down bit by bit. Her loose black long hair, bright red blood, and white skin formed a terrifying Another beautiful picture.

He began to feel a kind of black hole-like hunger, especially after eating the marrow and knowing the taste, this desire became more greedy and harder to be filled - just leaving traces was difficult to satisfy him, he yearned for more of her blood , even if doing so would tear her apart...

No, it's better that way.

If so...

She will never be able to leave again, and will always be something that only belongs to me.

Such a thought made him tremble with excitement, Madara lifted her chin, and dropped a bloody kiss.

His kiss gradually descended, lingering in her throat, the boundary between kiss and bite was blurred, Madara felt the slightest tremor of the skin under the teeth, feeling satiated like a wolf holding its prey by the throat.

"spot."

Cheng's throat rose and fell, and his name was pronounced from there.

Madara stopped moving.

He slowly let go, looking into her eyes.

Those eyes were too clear, even after being treated like this, there was no trace of resentment or fear in them.

Why can she still look at herself with such eyes?

Could it be that she is not afraid and has no hatred... Cheng Cheng's transparent heart may not be a fragile thing.

Madame suddenly thought of that.

Everyone seems to be able to see themselves in it and find comfort, but maybe that's the really hard and cold part of her.

The girl with gentle eyes asked him softly.

"Have you thought about it? If you do this, you will never go back."

Her voice and words stunned Madara for a second, but more chaos and noise soon swept over, and the regained reason and desire repeatedly tore at him.

Where does he want to go back, and where does he want to go——

Cheng's chakra was finally able to flow into Madara's body through the gaps and flaws. The power she possessed was completely opposite to that of Kyuubi, as calm and cool as a drizzle. Gradually go out.

Madara broke away from the violence that engulfed him... and returned to his original cage called reality.

He stared at her silently, and for a moment, he couldn't express what he felt, whether it was love, hate, or anything else.

"Cheng."

Said in a hoarse voice.

"Feel sorry."

"It's okay," she said, "It's just the Nine-Tails' chakra..."

Madara fell silent, and so did his heart.

Even if that thought is only for a moment.

The moment it happened, Madara knew very clearly that it had nothing to do with other things—that was his deep, true desire.

An unspoken desire that goes against her ideals.

Because, as Cheng said...

"If you do that, you can't go back to the past."

What he didn't want to see was that he lost even the possibility of going back to the past.
