Konoha's Strongest Empress

Chapter 217 Clues
"Then Ziyuan has a good rest, I'll go first." After Qiying waved her hand at Ziyuan, she looked at Sasuke who was by her side: "Aren't you going? Sasuke."

"No, I'll just stay with Shion, I've already told my father, it's okay." Sasuke crossed his hands on his chest, posing like a little adult.

"Okay, I'll go first." After glancing at the two of them for the last time, Qi Ying turned around and walked towards the stairs.

Although a man and a widow live in the same room, but given the age of Sasuke and Shion, it is estimated that nothing strange will happen.

By the way, Sasuke won't like Shion.

Qi Ying, who came to the stairs, just turned around and wanted to go down the stairs, when she saw a young boy sitting on the stairs.

The drooping head and lonely figure kept sighing, and there were traces of ointment on the back of the neck.

"Shuitai?" After Qi Ying walked down a few steps, she looked at Shuitai who was sitting on the stairs in the middle of the night in doubt.

If you were an ordinary person, you would have been scared to death by Shui Tai, in this dark corridor...

"Master Qi Ying..." After hearing Qi Ying's voice, Shui Tai raised his face full of disappointment, and then lowered his head.

"what happened?"

"No, I just feel that I'm such a failure..."

Shui Tai's words are not incomprehensible, Qi Ying also knows this feeling very clearly.

He clearly said that he would protect Shion with him, but let the enemy get close to Ziyuan again and again, and he was not the one who protected Shion every time.

When the ninja school was attacked before, the enemy even changed into his own appearance. If he hadn't been knocked down on the way back to the territory, nothing would have happened.

Shion didn't have to go through that painful experience anymore.

"I want power..." Shui Tai clenched his fists, gritted his teeth unwillingly, and muttered, his eyes showed a desire for power.

Shui Tai's eyes made Qi Ying frowned slightly.

This kind of look is the same as that of Sasuke in the original book who is blindly pursuing power.

"Shuitai, you have to understand that not everything in this world goes as you wish." Qiying murmured faintly after walking past Shuitai.

"So, don't pay too much attention to the failure of certain things. Sometimes, failure is not necessarily a bad thing."

"But...if I!"

"What you want to say is that if you have enough strength, you won't hurt Shion, right?"

"Yes……"

Qi Ying looked at Shui Tai with a confused face, and curled her lips helplessly.

Power can control everything, but it cannot represent everything.

"To be truly strong, you not only need strength. As a ninja, you have to know what your ninja way is. Whether you want to protect Shion or become stronger, the most important thing is not to lose yourself."

The reason why he took such pains to say these words to Shuitai was because he didn't want to see the second Sasuke appear.

Judging from Shuitai's current situation, this guy is very likely to go astray because of his pursuit of power. As a member of the same clan, coupled with his respect for Ziyuan, he still doesn't want Shuitai to change. Become a "dead" who pursues power.

After hearing Qi Ying's words, Shui Tai, who lowered his head, fell into deep thought, staring at his powerless hands with bewildered eyes.

Lose yourself...what the hell is lost?

The words have been explained so far, how to choose is also Shuitai's own business.

After Qiying glanced at Shuitai for the last time, she silently went down the stairs.

Qi Ying walked on the street when the night fell, and she couldn't help sighing inwardly.

Shuitai, if there is anyone who suffers the most from Ziyuan's injury, it is undoubtedly me.

As her mother, she failed to protect her well.

It seems that I have really lost my job...

……

The next morning.

Qi Ying, who got up early, came to Shishui's home, intending to ask about the previous things.

Zhishui, who was the first to come into contact with Luo, undoubtedly had contact with the enemy deeper when his eyes were gouged out. If he wanted to get information about the enemy, he could only ask him from Zhishui.

At this time, Zhishui, who lost his eyes, was sitting quietly in his yard and meditating.

Sharingan is equivalent to a fighting tool for the Uchiha clan. Without the Shisui of Sharingan, he not only lost the powerful pupil technique, but also lost his vision as a human. Now he can't even fight. Can't do it.

It takes a long time to practice to adapt to this kind of fighting without using eyes.

Presumably this incident was a blow to Zhishui like the sky had fallen.

He wanted to contribute to Konoha wholeheartedly, but he could no longer fight like before.

And Qi Ying, who came to Zhishui's home, began to communicate with Zhishui about the previous things after a short greeting.

From Shisui's mouth, I learned that before and after the time when he was fighting with himself, he was looking for his whereabouts, and the incident of the minister's death also made Konoha devote a lot of energy and sent many ninjas to search for the incident.

It is said to be a search, but the matter involves the people around the daimyo, and the only end is death.

As Luo's best friend, Shisui wanted to make Luo stop his actions before he did something irreversible. If he took the initiative to return to Konoha to confess his guilt, the Fourth Hokage might still let him live.

However, things backfired, and Luo had already gone all the way to the dark.

When he asked Zhishui who the person who took out his eyes was and what he had said, Zhishui became silent.

Judging from the hesitation and hesitation, there should be some reason why he couldn't tell himself the truth.And this just happened to prove that the person who removed Zhi Shui's eyes was probably the key person who caught the mastermind behind the scenes.

After all, with the power of Orochimaru alone, it should be impossible to make such a big commotion in Konoha.

You must know that Konoha's Anbu is not a decoration. When Luo makes such a big move, he will always catch some clues, but Konoha has no clue.

"Zhishui, what happened? Who is that person?" Sitting beside Zhishui, Qi Ying asked solemnly.

"If you don't say it, if the other party takes action again, more people will die by then."

After Zhishui heard Qi Ying's words, he was slightly taken aback, but he still didn't intend to tell the truth.

"Even if the person is revealed, there is still nothing to do. Without evidence, there is no way to bring down that person."

"Especially in this village, the darkness has gradually spread." Zhishui, who lowered his head, spoke with a hint of loneliness in his tone.

"In Muye Village? Could it be..." Zhishui's words immediately made Qi Ying think of a person representing darkness.

"Tuanzo?"

"right……"
