[Naruto] Did the outdated idol die for love today?

She fell asleep again.

Quan Nai carried her back to the room, tucked her in, took out the rain gear from the cabinet in the entrance hall, put on her rain boots, stamped her feet, and walked straight out the door.

Liru has been living with the two brothers for two years. In the past two years, she has been sleeping for longer and longer every day, and she has become more and more confused when she is awake.

Maybe it's too boring, Izuna thought.

Liru didn't like reading. Once the two of them went out for business, she could only sit on the empty verandah with wooden floors, staring at the door for a while, waiting quietly for them to come back.

In the courtyard of the mansion, there is a shallow pond. Madara and Izuna didn't have time to take care of it. The edge of the pool was already covered with moss. When Liru had nothing to do, she begged them to bring her some water lily seeds. Except when she was sitting at the door, she tried her best to take care of the water lily.

When planting for the first time, all the leaves that finally grew were rotten because they did not clean up the leaf rot stumps in time.

Quan Nai thought she would cry and lose her temper. He knew how impatient she was, and she would get angry even if she couldn't understand the content in the book. But she didn't do that, and she didn't even show the slightest bit of sadness. She just calmly collected all the rotten leaves, walked back to the house in the light of the fire that burned the rotten leaves, took out the remaining seeds, and planted them wholeheartedly.

I don’t know when, the water lilies in the pond have grown lavender petals. The slender flower stems and round lotus leaves are intertwined among the water, which makes it feel quiet and beautiful.

In this way, it seems to be consistent with her elegant appearance. But both brothers felt an indescribable sense of disharmony.

The Liru who was just brought home two years ago was nothing like this.

Quan Nai recalled the slightly raised corners of her lips and the moisture in her earlobes when she called him "teacher".

He agreed to teach her ninjutsu, but not long after, she tricked the ninja cat and escaped. He and Madara searched nearby for a long time, and finally found her lying on the ground tiredly by the waterside of Nanga River.

After that, the teaching of ninjutsu stopped. Madara carved a curse mark on her body. Whenever she took a step away from the house, the curse mark would punish her and release an electric current that could paralyze her whole body, thus restricting her behavior.

After several trials, Liru never thought of leaving again and became increasingly silent.

Regardless of happiness, sadness, anger, or doubt, these emotional reactions that ordinary people have seem to gradually fade away in her body, leaving only drowsiness and laziness. When facing the two of them, she seems to be looking through their faces. Something else.

They also vaguely noticed that there seemed to be some problems with her. But she has neither food nor clothing to worry about, and she doesn't have to fight on the battlefield like them. She only needs to stay at home obediently and say "welcome back" to the men who come home, just like any "happy woman" "That way.

The busy work did not give them time to explore the answers to the questions, and a new round of war began again. They still left home frequently and got hurt frequently, and every time they returned home, she would always sit on the verandah and look at the door that might never be opened.

Gradually, they got used to this kind of life.

As the sky darkens, the lavender petals slowly close. Liru squatted by the lotus pond as usual, not knowing what she was thinking, but just staring at the shallow water.

"What are you looking at?" Quan Nai walked to her side with some confusion, and also lowered his head to look at the scenery in the pool. But except for the reflections of the two of them, the water in the pool was crystal clear and nothing other than water lilies could be seen.

Riru seemed not to hear and had no reaction at all. After a while, she slowly opened her mouth.

"I'm looking at hell..."

As she spoke, a mysterious smile appeared on her lips.

"One day, the Buddha Sakyamuni saw through the lotus pond that at the bottom of the eighteenth level of hell, a great thief named Gandado was suffering. The Buddha remembered his good deed of releasing a spider when he was still alive, and dropped a spider. Silk, guide him out of the suffering of Abi Hell."

"Kandoda climbed up along the spider thread. When he looked back, he found that countless sinners suffering in hell had also climbed up along the spider thread. He was angry and anxious and scolded these sinners. Then, the spider The silk broke where he had climbed, and he fell back with the sinners into the darkness of hell."

Quan Nai seemed to understand. He had no research on Buddhism and could only judge based on his own knowledge.

"In this case, doesn't this big thief reap the consequences?"

"Kando Ta is just an ordinary person." Li Ru put her fingers on the water, and the mirror-like water surface showed ripples. "Because a spider has compassion and takes it back at will. This is what life in the world means. The mercy of the Buddha in the Land of Ultimate Bliss."

She shook off the water drops on her hands, stood up on her knees, and yawned as usual and went into the house.

While she was half asleep, she also said some strange things.

"...I am not Riru. I am Hasumi... Hasumi..."

She couldn't even remember her real name.

After Izuna went out, Riru, who was sleeping, woke up to the sound of rain. She lifted the quilt and walked barefoot to the empty verandah. The drizzle that drifted into the corridor wet her face. She opened her eyes wide and looked like she didn't know what she was thinking.

The cold raindrops fell on the ground like needles and threads, breaking the calm water of the lotus pond.

Under the gloomy light of the cloudy sky, the rain strands were thin and long, reflecting a silver luster like spider silk. She stretched out her hand, trying to hold the illusive thread, but all that was left in her hand was the disappearing rain.

"I can't hold it... I can't hold it..."

She shook her head flatly, lay down on the cold, wet floor, and fell asleep quietly.
