Chapter 55: The Strange Little Kid

  "Let me out! I don't want to stay here!" a loud voice said.

  "Stop making a fuss! It was they who locked us in, how can we possibly be let out so easily? Are you not tired of shouting every day? You're not tired, but I am." said the gentle voice.

  "...listening to your voice, I don't feel that you're annoyed at all. Moreover, I'm just shouting, it's like the deep breath I take every morning when I wake up, it's a routine job. I'm not stupid, if I were like that weird someone, wouldn't I be miserable? But I really want to go out! It's so dark here, I can't see anything!" Hongliang's voice said.

  "Don't call that weirdo 'Wei Zhi', he seems to be calling himself that, and now, at noon and midnight every day, you can still see the sun and moon together, normally it's all about luck, I don't care about the clouds." The gentle voice said.

  "He really is strange, suddenly appearing when "" died, and gave us a big fright!" Hong Liang's voice said.

  "Genius" is really different from us, he knows a lot of strange things, like "Fire Shadow" and "Wood Leaf".

  "What's that? I've never heard anyone say that before?"

  "Don't call him that, after all the dead are to be respected. But as for the shadow, I'm not too clear about it either. All I've heard is that our village was surrounded by the shadows of several major ninja villages back then and we were able to survive only because someone helped us hide or escape here."

  "That person is the mastermind who got us locked up in here?"

  "If you insist on interpreting it that way, yes, it's because of that person's companion that the villagers treat us this way. The villagers yearn for the power to appear in us, after all, our bodies carry the blood of that person's companion, they yearn to relive the legend."

  "That group of old men will stop at nothing for power! Have they ever thought that if we were to gain power, the first person we would go kill is who?"

  "Who knows, anyway they might all be dizzy from the power of 'about to get', after all, they're old and their brains aren't bright anymore."

  "It seems that, at the beginning, the elders who had seen those people before all participated in this matter, this thing that stimulates our physical strength? Every time those old guys mention those people, they reveal a very strange expression, right?"

  "A very... eerie expression, worship, infatuation, frenzy, reverence, their attitude towards those people is almost like a faith, it's really unthinkable that those death row inmates, outcasts, experimental subjects and slaves would also have such an expression."

  "It's not right to speak of the village elder like that... after all, he's still our grandfather's generation."

  "I don't think you have the right to say that to me, Qi."

  “………”

  “………”

  "I hate the sun, it's so hot and unbearable!" A gentle voice complained and changed the subject.

  "I hate raw food, I just want to eat something cooked, but for half a month now there's only raw fish to gnaw on! Am I a bear or what?!" Hongliang's voice said.

  "That's because the food they sent over has a high chance of being problematic! Didn't we decide together that none of us would eat it?" said the gentle voice.

  "It's so boring, no one is with me to play, it's so boring!" a loud voice said.

  "You idiot! One of our hands is already like this, what else do you want to play with!" The gentle voice said, although scolding, but the tone was still soft and fluffy, without any sign of anger.

  "So I said, is there anyone who can accompany me?" Hongliang's loud voice said.

  "It was he who killed the person who brought food last time!" Hongliang's voice said.

  "If you have the guts, go ahead and say it directly to his face, and this has nothing to do with me!" said the gentle voice.

  "His decision, do you dare to disagree? And that villager who sent food was really hateful, it was just some leftover dishes, but with a condescending attitude, as if he himself was a savior! Die well!" Hongliang's voice said.

  "I didn't say it's bad, just very smelly." said a gentle voice.

  "He died right there, and we couldn't meet again. Half of his body was soaked in water, how could it not stink?" Hongliang's voice seemed to be somewhat angry.

  "Alright, stop arguing, if you continue, 'it' will be disturbed and someone will die! Today is the full moon!" a low voice said.

  "Is it... almost here......? Didn't he just wake up a few days ago?" Hongliang's voice said.

  "Today is the full moon, he will definitely wake up." The low voice said.

  "Alright! I won't argue anymore." Hongliang's loud voice said.

  "Ah!" said a gentle voice

  The sound gradually faded away, and it seemed that the source of these conversations was just ahead, not far from here.

  I feel that the truth of all signs is about to be revealed ahead, but my heart is rippling with a faint wave, as if something very important to me is about to happen? But I don't know whether it's good or bad.

  Although the "Devouring Eye" did not detect any large life forms, nor even small ones. The flames of life were mostly just some bats and blind fish in size.

  What is it after all?

  I turned out of the bend and saw a cave about 10 square meters in size, almost in the middle of a pool of water, with a small island about 3 or 4 square meters in the center of the pool.

  A small island, three sides facing the water, one side adjacent to a steep cliff. On the cliff, nearly ten meters up, there is a small hole that allows a glimpse of the night sky. A thin figure sits half-crouched on the island, with one hand raised and a finger-thick chain piercing through the wrist, firmly fixed to the rock wall.

  Is it human? But didn't "see" it?

  Just now there was still a voice, it should be alive, but I and that figure are only more than ten meters apart, yet I can only feel an extremely weak breath, just like that figure almost doesn't exist, even my special senses can only detect this much, then in the ordinary ninja's feeling, isn't it impossible to detect?

  Or is it like Hong Yeshang, having a special bloodline limit? Only those with a bloodline limit have the "possibility" of evading my perception, or should I say, the Nine-Tailed Fox's perception.

  And yet, the conversation I just overheard clearly indicated that there should be at least three of them, but before my eyes, there is only one child.

  What's going on?

  My writing has been quite stuck and messy lately, please don't mind too much. Before I return to Konoha, it will probably be like this. Afterwards, I'll do a big overhaul. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, but please speak nicely, or I'll get scared. That's all, thank you!
