Chapter 309 Priest
"Zhaolu...you're getting too obsessed."
"If you say you want to atone your sins, wouldn't it be better for you to protect the world with me instead of wandering around with a broken arm?"
"We Uchiha clan tend to become very paranoid at a certain age. You are like that now."
Chaolu looked at him with a disappointed look on her face: "...I thought we were both Uchiha...at least you should be able to understand me."
"…Why would you do this for Naruto?"
"It's not just for Naruto, it's for everyone."
"..."
She stared at Sasuke quietly for a moment. Seeing that he didn't say anything and didn't change his mind, Chaolu was silent for a moment and changed the subject in a light tone: "...Okay, I also said that this is just my current idea. I know there must be many immature parts...Can we continue? I still want to continue to hear about your abilities."
"My Rinnegan..." Sasuke slowly started to speak again, but after saying only these five words he paused.
Chaolu walked towards him, stood in front of him, and reached out to gently lift the bangs that were too long and blocked his eyes.
Hidden by his bangs, his left eye slowly turned into the Rinnegan.
Zhaolu observed it carefully: "... circles and circles, the pattern is really strange."
"..."
"Sasuke looks better with his Sharingan. Luckily he only has half of it... However, this mismatched look would be disastrous on someone else. But maybe it's because you're good-looking, Sasuke, so the combination looks quite unique."
He held her hand that was pushing his bangs aside and bent down to kiss her cheek.
The morning dew did not dodge.
She stared at his face and whispered, "Is this the future and this life you want, Sasuke?"
"..."
"Is having Naruto enough? Are you no longer lonely? Are your dreams, your ideals... annihilated?"
He silently hugged her waist tightly and held her in his arms.
"My Sasuke once told me that he would never let me go home one day and find that I no longer have a family. He swore that he would never let me go through the pain he had experienced again."
“…You’re so bold.”
"I interpreted this as, he would never leave me alone. What about you? You've been through more pain than he has... When you fought Naruto, was there no one behind you? Were you alone and helpless? Were all the ties severed? Do you want me to go through that too?"
"If I help you...what place do I occupy in your new world?"
"What position do you want?"
She might just be using him.
Sasuke thought that since no one had ever mentioned Sakura's exchange, it meant that the impact was very small.
A small impact means that the exchange time cannot be very long.
Maybe she just needed him to trade a moment for her to help her defeat 16-year-old Naruto.
Talk of suicide for love, and that he was the only one who was bound by this bond...it was all just lies.
Sasuke distanced himself from her slightly, but kept his palm pressed against her back.
He bowed his head to her and said, "Give me a lock of your hair, Morning Dew."
"Eh? Hair?"
"Ah."
The girl was a little confused: "Why do you need hair?"
"I'll get it, okay?"
"Of course I can..." Chaolu hesitated, "You won't shave my head, will you?"
"I'm not that boring."
Sasuke pulled out a kunai, only then letting her go completely.
Her hair was spread out behind her, now reaching down to her vest. He picked out a strand of her hair and gently cut it off at her collarbone. It was still a long piece.
"What on earth is this..."
"This is all I want." Sasuke put away the broken hair: "I want something I can get now rather than some vague promise."
Chaolu tilted her head in confusion: "I don't quite understand."
"It's okay, you don't have to understand. Just think of it as me wanting to leave some souvenirs of you." Sasuke continued: "One of the abilities of my Samsara Eye is the power of the sky hand."
He continued explaining.
……
By the time Chaolu and Sasuke separated and returned to the tent to rest, Neji had already returned.
Gaara also finished his sparring with Naruto. He seemed extremely tired and fell asleep early.
Chaolu was worried about waking him up, so she whispered, "Ningji, haven't you rested yet?"
"I was already asleep," Neji also replied in a low voice, "but the Samsara Eye just moved again, and I woke up again."
"Ah, let me give you a massage."
"No need. Didn't Chaolu train with Sasuke for a long time? She should be very tired."
"I didn't fight him, he explained his jutsu to me and then demonstrated it to me, so it's okay."
"But before, Asaka and Naruto also fought, right?"
"That's not serious. All right, come here."
After hearing what she said, Neji slowly laid down on her legs.
He closed his eyes and Chaolu's fingertips gently rubbed his eye sockets.
Neji whispered, "Once my Samsara Eye has fully evolved, I'll be able to help you more."
Chaolu didn't answer. She asked, "Ningji, have you ever thought about what you would do if you were not a ninja one day?"
"Not a ninja?"
"Ah."
"Hmm..." He thought for a moment, "I want to be a priest."
"Eh?" This unexpected answer made Chaolu stunned, "When did Neji start to believe in God?"
"I have believed in it for a long time." Neji gave a gentle smile, "Goddess of Destiny."
He had used this name to describe Chaolu several times before, and she thought he was still joking, so she couldn't help but say angrily, "That's nothing!"
"It's true." Neji said, "If I can't be a ninja fighting for you, then I just want to be a priest serving you."
"..."
"Asaro, Toneri told me that the Samsara Eye can read the memories of others."
"Is he so cooperative?"
"Because he wanted to see my memory. He seemed very eager to know my past, my experiences... How did you and I know each other, and why you looked at me differently. If he wanted to see my memory, he had to teach me how to read memories first. After teaching me, I read his memory by myself, which saved the trouble of interrogation."
Zhaolu paused for a moment and asked, "Can you read other people's memories now?"
"The Samsara Eye and the Rinnegan originally came from the same lineage. Maybe when you open the Rinnegan, you will be able to do it too. In this case, it would be like your lost pupil technique returning to you."
"…It's hard to say. The Byakugan and Sharingan are from the same lineage, but they are so different."
"That's true. But from now on, if Chaolu wants to read anyone's memory, I can help you."
Chaolu stroked his hair: "...No."
"why?"
"Because it would reveal which part of other people's memories I like to probe."
"So which part does Chaolu like?"
"The darkest, most hidden, and most unacceptable part of the world. Because those are not found in books." Chaolu said: "Books are full of beautiful, positive, gentle, and positive truths, but people have the most real and dirty desires in the world."
"...If I stare into the abyss for too long, will I be polluted?"
"Ningji, do you think I'm contaminated?" Chaolu smiled. "I just think that everything a person is not allowed to reveal in public will become the deepest secret of his memory. And these secrets can best reflect what kind of person a person is. This was the standard I used in the Hidden Mist Village to judge whether a person could be accepted back by the village. Compared to those generally recognized advantages, such as cold-blooded ninjas who killed countless people but would adopt abandoned kittens; defected ninjas were actually framed by others. To determine whether a person is trustworthy and worthy of deep friendship, those secrets that are not tolerated by the world, that is, to determine a person's deepest dark side is more important."
"...very good reason."
"It's not an exaggeration to describe it as high-sounding." Chaolu smiled, "However, how would I react to such a dark side? If I watch it myself, then only I know the most direct reaction. But if Neji tells me, I will have to expose myself to Neji."
"Can't you?"
"Then Neji will know my dark side. Maybe Neji will be disappointed in me, because I am not as good as you think. If Neji thinks that Chaolu likes this, Chaolu would think this way, and Chaolu thinks that this kind of thing can be forgiven... maybe you won't want to serve me as a priest."
