[Comprehensive] Mirror of Death and Life

Quan Nai followed behind, I was not walking fast, but he was more impatient than me, and kept urging me: "Third brother, hurry up."

I lowered my head and glanced at him. In this family, Ye is naturally weak and attracts more attention from everyone. Both my parents and my second brother think that he should get more attention because of his poor health. I don’t know why. From time to time, the spots become the shadow behind the leaves.

This is very strange. It stands to reason that Madara, who is physically strong and talented, should be valued more, at least by his father.I've thought about this problem before, but in the end I can only explain it by the existence of me and my second brother blocking Madara's aura of genius.If it wasn't for my two standing in front, it must be Madara who has become synonymous with the new generation of geniuses in the clan.

And Quanna—I looked at the top of his dark head and a swirl in his short hair—had a better relationship with Madara than Ye.

"Third Brother" Quan Nai finally noticed my gaze, raised her head and looked at me strangely, "Why are you staring at me?"

"I just thought that you were there at the time."

"...Well, it's not just me, the second brother is also here. My father took me, the second brother and the fourth brother to the Nanhe River to stop the Qianshou clan. At first, Brother Ban was unwilling to do anything, but later, the fourth brother died He opened Sharingan and killed that thousand-handed ninja like crazy." Quan Nai said, his eyes were dazed, he bit his lower lip and said hesitantly, "The death of the fourth brother... Brother Ban is more sad than anyone else, He also hates himself more than anyone else, and he thinks it's his fault."

"What do you think?"

"It's not Brother Ban's fault. It's Qianshou's fault." The child's eyes were firm, his fair face was tense, and he gritted his teeth and said every word, "Fourth brother was killed by Qianshou."

I was silent, neither echoing him nor denying it. I raised my head and found that we were walking and talking, and before I knew it, I could already see a lonely confinement room in an open space.

The small black house is still the same small black house, I am very familiar with it, it is far away from the village and close to Nangachuan—it is Nangachuan, not Weimingchuan, I don’t know when, everyone named it after the shrine downstream of this river The name Weimingchuan, which I used to say when I was young, is rarely mentioned now, and probably only the name Nanhe is known among Madara and the others.

The name of mountains and rivers cannot last forever, let alone people.The dead clansmen not only disappeared in this world, but also disappeared in the hearts of their relatives.In another ten years, will I never remember Yazhi again, won't I remember that there was once a girl who looked at me as if she looked at the whole world, and the clansmen won't forget the sick and pale four in the patriarch's house son?

If even the memory of them disappears, then these people are really dead.

Opening the wooden door of the house, it was pitch black because there were no windows, and the setting sun shone in from behind me, forming a golden rectangle through the door frame, and the shadows of Quanna and me were reflected in it.After squinting his eyes and looking in the dark for a long time, he saw Madara sitting in the corner.I haven't seen him for a while, it seems that his hair has grown a little longer, especially the bangs in front almost cover his eyes, he stared at me blankly, with his hands on his knees, curled up into a ball, looking like a cat Poor puppy.

No, Madara is more like a cat.

"What are you doing here? Father agreed?" Madara's hoarse voice brought me back to my senses.I saw him wrinkling his nose and looking at the lunch box in my hand, his face obviously showed some eagerness, and he quickly turned his head to cover up the desire to eat.He has been like this since he was a child, with a stubborn mouth and a stubborn temper, and he has brought the awkwardness of the Uchiha clan to the extreme.There is no way, my brother is so awkward, I can only be more straightforward as a brother.

"I was afraid that you would starve to death here, so I specially brought food here." I sighed, "Mother proposed, father acquiesced, and the second brother did not object."

Quan Nai poked her head out from behind me at the right time: "Brother Ban, why don't you eat something."

In the eyes of both of us, Madara was tense for a while, then turned his face back and said expressionlessly: "No need. I want to be confined, you go out."

Before I could speak, Quan Nai was too anxious to speak first, and I could hear his voice clearly crying: "Brother Ban, don't do this...it's not your fault."

"It's my fault!"

Hearing these words, Madara suddenly exploded. He sat up straight and yelled at us: "It's my fault! Ye's death is all my fault! If I hadn't become friends with Senjujuma, if I could have found out when my father I broke up with him before, if I had done it before Ye died, he wouldn’t have died! Ye shouldn’t have died! It’s all because of me! It’s all because of me…” He choked on his sobs as he roared stand up.

In the shadows of the room, I heard Madara's intermittent voice: "It's all my fault...it's all my fault, Ye will die..." After adapting to the darkness, my eyes can see every movement clearly, so I can clearly see his clenched fist and Tears in the eyes.

Quan Nai's words echoed in his ears before—"Brother Ban is more saddened than anyone else by the death of the fourth brother."

I walked forward, bent down, pressed Madara's head and rubbed the unruly and stubble short hair. I said in a deep voice: "Since it's your fault, you should cheer up and become stronger. Instead of Punish yourself in such a boring way."

Madara raised his head abruptly, a pair of Sharingan shining in the darkness, staring at me with an ominous red light: "Are you bored?"

"It's boring. Do you want to starve yourself to death and accompany Ye to apologize to him? Don't forget Madara, you have been better than him since you were young. If you die for this reason, you will definitely be laughed at by Ye. The talent you have It is something that Ye can never have, and you should not waste this talent for him." I thought this way, just like this time I am not here, no matter how I try to protect Madara and Quanna, they will always go to the battlefield alone. Tasks, there will always be places I can't take care of.

This incident has sounded a wake-up call for me. If you want them to live, you should not take care of them every minute and every second, but should stimulate them and accelerate their growth.Even if the method of speeding up is painful, it is better than death.Ye is very important, very important, but he is not more important than Madara and Quanna when he is dead, so...

"Quanna, you too. You have to understand that the reason why Ye died this time is because you are not strong enough. If you are strong enough, you can save Ye before he dies, and you can even solve it without father bringing Ye." I looked back at Quanna, who was facing away from the golden sunset, and said in a more serious tone, "Your only fault is that you are too weak."

Compared with Quanna's panic, Madara seemed calmer, he quickly admitted this, and asked me coldly: "What about you, third brother, have you ever been as weak as us?"

I thought of the special bag that was still in the ninja bag until now, which contained Yazhi’s eyes. As soon as I came back, I rushed to the house, my mind was occupied by the news of Ye’s death, and I almost forgot to give the eyes to Elder Qi Mu. Before this, Uchiha Makoto reported this news with Ninja Eagle. I don’t know if I will be scolded by the elder pointing my nose this time...

"...Not only in the past, but now I am still not strong enough." When I came back to my senses, I lowered my eyes under Madara's gaze, picked up the lunch box in my hand and stuffed it into his arms, "It's time to eat."

When he was eating, Madara put a big mouthful of rice into his mouth, chewing viciously, as if he regarded the cold food as an enemy, and swallowed it all in one bite.At the same time, he swallowed his tears and regrets. Children will grow up one day. If possible, I hope they can slow down a little bit. Unfortunately, this era is not suitable for such a slow growth. When caught off guard, he became a qualified ninja.Quan Nai obediently sat next to Madara, watched him eat with wide eyes, and whispered from time to time: "This is delicious." "Brother Ban, this is delicious too."

I looked away and heard the turbulent water flow of the Weiming River not far away, and saw that the original golden spot on the ground was gradually shrinking and dimming, and the sun was setting.

Let Quan Nai take the food box back, and he and I parted in front of a fork in the road, and went to Elder Qi Mu's house.Like mine, his house occupies a large area, and it can be called a mansion. It is said that when the population is the most prosperous, every bedroom is full of people. They are Elder Qi Mu's parents, brothers, sisters, and their children.However, as people died one by one, the excitement of the past has faded away, and now the mansion looks very quiet and lonely in the afterglow of the setting sun. The lantern hanging at the door is not lit, and there are two round fans painted on it, I vaguely remember Elder Qi Mu only has the granddaughter Yazhi.

Ringing the doorbell, it took a long time for the door to be opened, revealing the dark porch and an extremely old face inside.

In my memory, Uchiha Saiki was old and strong, and he was still full of energy at the age of more than half a century, with sharp and calm eyes, but now standing in front of me is clearly a crooked old man who is dying.He looked at me, I looked at him, the two of them looked at each other for a long time without saying a word, and finally the other party remembered that I was still standing at the gate, and turned sideways with a blank expression: "Come in."

"Excuse me." I bowed and saluted, went in and took off my shoes at the door, put on my spare slippers here, and followed Uchiha Saiki into the living room.Until he knelt down in front of the table, Uchiha Saiki didn't say a word during the whole process, only his aura was rising step by step.As soon as I sat down, I felt a huge pressure and murderous aura coming from above, pressing directly towards myself.

I have long been aware of being treated like this, I straightened my back and stretched my hands to my waist, took out the cloth bag from the ninja bag, put it on the table and pushed it to Uchiha Saiki.The tabletop is very smooth and clean, reflecting the glare and pale electric lights above his head and Uchiha Saiki's aging face. For the first time, I found that he has so many white hairs, just like the wrinkles on his face.

Uchiha Saiki was not in a hurry to take it, in fact he was motionless, only his eyelids moved a little to show that he was still a living person, the rest of the facial muscles were extremely stiff, plus it seemed bloodless under the light, it looked like Like a dead man.

"I didn't protect her well..." He spoke, I could only speak actively, lowered my head and closed my eyes, "It's my fault."

"...It's not your fault." I don't know what kind of mood Uchiha Saiki said this sentence, his voice was extremely hoarse, trembling slightly, as if he was trying to suppress the emotions that were about to explode.

He repeated: "It's not your fault. Yazhi is not strong enough herself."

This sentence is so similar to what I said to Madara just now, so is Elder Qi Mu comforting me?

Looking up, I was surprised to find that the other party was already in tears, and the tears were flowing freely on the face of thousands of gullies, but it was very quiet. Uchiha Saiki stared at me, as if he was talking to himself or saying to me: " If she had been stronger, she wouldn't have died. Her eyes wouldn't have been gouged out like this."

He held the mouth of the special black cloth bag tightly in his hand, and the rest of the bag naturally hung in the air because of its weight.

A few tears fell on the wooden table.

When he came out of Elder Qi Mu's house, it was already dark.Candles were lit at the doors of other houses, but the mansion just behind me was still pitch-black. Whether it was the door or the yard, I looked back at the closed door, and I clenched my fists and turned to go home.

I didn't expect to run into Uchiha Makoto just after walking for 1 minute.His face was exhausted, there was a layer of dust floating all over his body, and his hair was a little messy. It was obvious that he had just returned to the village, and he hadn't even had time to change his clothes. It was still the dark red armor on top of the tight black combat uniform.Makoto Uchiha was obviously taken aback when he saw me, and the first sentence he opened his mouth was: "Don't be too sad."

I figured that my expression was normal, and my eyes didn't turn red, why did he comfort me when he saw me?Am I just so emotional?

Thinking about it this way, I don't know why I felt a little uncomfortable and nodded at him without raising my head, and the two passed by without saying hello.
