Chapter 188 Who am I?
"You also know why I'm here!" Kakashi said calmly, still so casually. .
"I guess." Gaara said.
"Well, I only have one thing to say," Kakashi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and there seemed to be an abyss in his eyes, "Be careful with Hui Youling."
Gaara frowned slightly and asked, "It's a bit surprising, isn't she your student?"
"Oh, I'm not going to tell you this. In short, Sasuke's departure seems to have unlocked some terrible power in Eyou Ling, and I always feel that this power will be triggered by you." Kakashi looked at Gaara lightly.
"Then, it's time for me to go." Kakashi said and disappeared with a burst of white smoke. Gaara looked from a distance, thinking about something.
……
"Hui Youling, we are also obsessed with the past. I can only struggle for revenge like drowning."
"But you got a new life. You like him, even if he is no longer that person."
"It's not that you can't struggle, you're just too timid. Why worry so much and be so cautious if you like him? You found him, didn't you?"
Sasuke's voice echoed endlessly in his mind.
Hui Youling was trapped in a dark space. She stood there blankly, her eyes becoming increasingly hollow.
Tread…
The sound of clear footsteps came, like rhythmic drumbeats in this quiet space, and fell into Hui Youling's heart, seeming to mess up her thoughts.
Hui Youling turned around and looked over. Zhan, wearing a red battle suit, came through the darkness, like the final winner on the battlefield. She stood with her waist bent, and the corner of her mouth raised slightly, "You are finally willing to face the present, blood sacrifice!"
The name Zhan mentioned was not Hui Youling, but Blood Sacrifice, the person who carried too much pressure and guilt.
Hui Youling's eyes were like a storm, and there seemed to be countless faces entangled in her face, sad and desperate, and finally merged into one. Her eyes finally became clear. Although they were still the same pair of black eyes, one eye But there is a strange and powerful aura.
"The person you are ashamed of is dead, and he will not come back again. This Gaara is him from another world, not that person." Zhan mocked in a cold tone.
"Blood sacrifice, it's too late. You can't atone for your sins. You keep rejecting me because of me. No... let's kill him. I can help you seal this power. You can also just think that you have started all over again." But, he's not dead, and you didn't kill him either..." Zhan's voice was soft, as if he was bewitching.
Hui Youling's unusual eye wavered slightly, tears fell one by one, but the other eye had no brilliance at all.
As if a voice came from an ethereal land, he said slowly, "I have been afraid of losing him again since then. In fact, I have lost him long ago. He is him...but not him. Ask yourself, the person I am ashamed of is already dead." , but comforted himself by thinking that he could atone for his sins."
Speaking of this, Hui Youling suddenly laughed softly. It seemed that everything disappeared and she returned to the real world. She returned to her normal voice and said, "Treating Gaara as his shadow is nonsense." He and I have not experienced so much pain, and there is no reason to protect him."
Hui Youling turned to look at Zhan and smiled helplessly, "I don't know how I feel about Gaara now. Everything in our story is based on that memory. If there was no past, we would be just the most ordinary friends. So the initial desire to become stronger no longer exists, and I will not choose Orochimaru to be my teacher."
"But now when I think about the past, I suddenly find that all my actions in the past seemed to be in accordance with the will of Uchiha Blood Sacrifice."
"Because of the guilt of bearing the blood sacrifice of Uchiha, I know that my weakness will make it impossible to atone for my sins in the future. Knowing that Orochimaru will make me stronger, so out of anxiety and reluctance, I chose Orochimaru to become a teacher."
"Gaara and I are obviously from two different ninja villages and have not crossed paths in the past, but we still want to work hard to repay him and get closer to him. Isn't this a relationship that is too unconventional?"
"If I were not affected by the feelings of Uchiha's blood sacrifice and fell in love with Gaara, even with these memories, I would stay in Konoha and look for ways to slowly become stronger, and I would not follow Orochimaru and do so many things. Even if you do something wrong, you don’t have to bear the sin of Uzumaki Youling."
"However, I am the one who has the memory of the Uchiha Blood Sacrifice, and I am the one who peeks into the future, so I got to know Naruto, I got to know Sasuke, I got to know these partners, and I also created stories with them. It is no longer the Uchiha Blood Sacrifice and Their bond is the bond between me, Uzumaki Youling, and them."
"Realizing this, I suddenly began to be confused about who I am, the Uchiha Blood Sacrifice, or the Uzumaki Youling?" She looked at Zhan with eyes that seemed aware of everything, with confusion on her face.
"So are we one or are we different?"
"What should I do if it's Hui Youling? What should I do if it's a blood sacrifice?"
Hui Youling asked herself as she asked herself. Everything in the past gradually became clearer, including the heavy stone that was weighing on her heart. She gently raised the corners of her mouth, as if she had hope for rebirth in her eyes.
She should have started over a long time ago, should have looked at the future, instead of being obsessed with the past and herself in that world. She is not the Uchiha Blood Sacrifice, her name is Uzumaki Youling!
She slowly turned back to look at Zhan, as if looking back with a smile, and said slowly, "Zhan, have you understood this a long time ago?"
She knows herself best, and because she understands it, she knows how to use it, so she keeps leading herself to the end, trying to make her admit that she is an Uchiha blood sacrifice. Only in this way will she fall according to Zhan's will, and even be wiped out in the end.
This calculation can even be traced back to when she fell into the water when she was three years old. Maybe that time was not the first time the two met, it was just an act by Zhan, just to get her started on the path of Uchiha blood sacrifice.
He constantly reminded himself of the pain of the blood sacrifice in that world, and was burdened with the sin and guilt of the Uchiha blood sacrifice. He chose Orochimaru in accordance with Zhan's wishes, and chose to expand the endless darkness in his heart to gain strength.
With Hui Youling's smile, the originally dark world suddenly burst out with a powerful force, pushing the blackness away.
The space behind Hui Youling became whiter and brighter, and there was even soft light shining. Even though it was still quiet, it seemed like a night with bright stars. In the end, the bright and dark areas were clearly separated on both sides, which also showed that The two men’s positions.
Hui Youling's smile in the bright place became brighter and brighter. She blinked gently, and the sharpness in her eyes disappeared. It turned into a stream of light in this space, revolved around her with nostalgia, and finally dissipated in this light. inside.
Zhan stood in the darkness, and the black water under her feet was still entangled with black threads. She looked at Hui Youling blankly, seeming to have forgotten what to say. She clenched her fists tightly, unwilling to accept it, and frowned solemnly as she looked towards Hui Youling, in the end she just snorted and slowly faded into the darkness.
Zhan Qingleng's voice also came from the darkness, "Hui Youling, I admit you for the time being, but after all, you are too naive!"
Hui Youling looked at her blankly and slowly lowered her eyelids. Although she no longer had to bear the sin of Uchiha's blood sacrifice, the many wrong things she had done in the past would not be erased.
She raised her eyes to the sky, remained silent for a long time, and slowly closed her eyes.
Thank you...Sasuke...
Even if Sasuke left, he still guided her in the direction.
