Naruto: Rebellious Ninja

Chapter 78. Quiet Night

On a quiet night, Ye and Deidara sat around the campfire. Ye stared at the flames in a daze, silent, maintaining the same indifferent expression that had remained unchanged for thousands of years.

Deidara's eyes wandered for a while and looked at the bonfire, and for a while he stared at Ye: "Hey, why are you always so cold? As far as I know, Konoha Village does not seem to be a cruel village, why are you like an iceberg? Even those guys from the Bloody Mist Ninja Village are more cheerful than you."

"You don't need to guess about things you haven't experienced before." Ye replied lightly.

"Then tell me about your experience," Deidara said carelessly.

"There's nothing to talk about." Ye stared at the flames quietly.

"Hey, we are companions," Deidara said dissatisfied.

"Well, if I have to say it, my experience is like this bonfire." Ye replied.

"Bonfire" Deidara looked at Ye's cold face with doubtful eyes: "I can't feel any heat from you."

"No, I am not a flame." Ye grabbed a branch and stirred up a cloud of ashes under the flames, which dissipated in the light of the fire: "My existence is not the flame that represents light and heat, but the ashes after the flames burn. .”

"It's like people like to be close to the fire and like the warmth, but they never care where the ashes come from and where they go."

"The firelight will illuminate each face, but the untouchable darkness behind them will only be known to the ashes."

Ye seemed to have accumulated too many thoughts in his heart. At this moment, he spoke a lot more: "Where there is light, there will be shadows, and where there are shadows, there will also be light. No matter how painful what I have experienced, how can Darkness is just a story to you."

Deidara seemed to be unable to understand what he was saying now. These words may have to wait until many years later, but at this moment he was still curious and asked: "People always have their own goals in life, just like I always pursue the art of explosion. You should also have your own pursuits."

"I" Ye looked stunned, as if he was recalling something, and then said after a long time: "I am looking for an answer, an answer that must be paid for with one's life."

"Answer" Deidara was puzzled.

"There are two consequences of the answer." Ye looked at the extinguishing bonfire calmly: "Either I get the answer and I leave safely, or I don't have the answer and I will destroy the world."

Deidara felt chills running down his back: "What a terrifying idea."

"Tomorrow you will be responsible for the two-tailed jinchuriki, and I will be responsible for dealing with the eight-tailed jinchuriki." Ye talked about tomorrow's actions.

"The two-tailed Jinchuriki is really tricky." Deidara said excitedly.

"At least it's better than facing the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki. You only need to hold her for two hours, and I will come to help you after I deal with the Eight-Tails." Ye said calmly.

"Then you didn't come after two hours?" Deidara asked.

"Then you evacuate immediately and don't worry about me, because I have failed." Ye said lightly.

"It's really a simple battle plan." Deidara commented.

"Okay, let's stop chatting." Ye retracted his gaze and slowly closed his tired eyes: "Get some rest, tomorrow will be very hard."

The next morning, Ye and Deidara, who had been speechless all night, separated and disappeared into the forest. The two of them had their own division of labor. Deidara was responsible for containing the second-tailed Jinchuuriki. It depends on the situation. If possible, he would do his best. Capture the second tail, and if that doesn't work, try to hold her back for at least two hours, waiting for Ye to finish off the eight-tailed jinchūriki and come back for reinforcements.

The small town in the early morning was still in the mist of dawn and seemed quiet. Ye's figure sneaked quietly near the residence of the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki, and he could also feel the majestic and terrifying chakra and its fierceness of the Eight-Tailed Jinchuuriki. With such aura, there were also many ninjas from the Cloud Ninja Village lurking near the Eight-Tails Jinchuuriki's residence, and Ye was keenly aware of them one by one.

"Boom!" A shocking explosion from the other side of the town broke the quiet and peaceful atmosphere. That was when Deidara started to take action.

Several ninjas from the Cloud Ninja Village quickly appeared and guarded around the Jinchuriki Rabbi's residence, and their reactions were extremely fast. Some other ninjas continued to hide in the dark, waiting for help, without any reason.
