Chapter 56 Similarity

  Chapter Fifty-six Similarity

  I slowly walked closer to the little boy and observed him at close range.

  His hair was disheveled, and his entire body from head to toe, face, clothes (if those tattered rags could be called that), and exposed limbs were all a dull grey color, as if smeared with dirt and dust. His left wrist was shackled, forcing him to hold it high, his head hung low.

  "Who's there! Is someone there!"

  "No way! The person who brings food doesn't come until half a month has passed, and the time hasn't arrived yet! You won't "again" mistake the sound of the fish jumping for someone arriving, will you? You "discover" someone coming every day!" (emphasis on "" and "")

  "Dummy, the person who brought food came from that direction, and they didn't dare sneak over while we were sleeping lately. Otherwise, if 'he' found out..."

  "Keep your voice down, do you want to wake 'him' up? I don't want to die!"

  It was actually discovered, although it seemed like he immediately changed the subject himself.

  I stood on the water's surface around the small island where the child was, just about five meters away from the kid, but I was ignored by that child.

  I didn't have the intention of hiding my tracks, but I instinctively proceeded with stealth, making no sound or breath, not to mention that my special physique was originally hard for others to perceive.

  But this kid who looks about my age can sense my presence in an environment with almost no light!

  It seems like he is talking to himself, but it feels as if there are many independent people conversing.

  Could it be... he... this child... is a multiple personality?

  Just thinking about this, a wave of emotions surged in my heart, affecting the outer layer of my chakra armor and causing it to fluctuate for an instant.

  "If only they could have a conversation and communicate with each other like this, what a great salvation and gospel it would be for that person!"

  He knew of my existence, yet we only had two moments each day to exchange a few words or glances. No wonder he hated me, hated that I could talk to him freely while he couldn't. Yet even with all this hatred, he died for me. And before his death, he told me: "I've hated you since the moment I first saw your face."

  Moreover, why did "he" look at me with a relieved and apologetic expression... When I saw "him" appear for the first time in the dawn of that day, I didn't see the deep resentment in his eyes.

  I know "he" must know "me", knows what I am...

  Why? It's clearly unnecessary! ... I am Ruo Canshen, and will always be Ruo Canshen. I have never regretted being Ruo Canshen, whether it's Ruo Canshen or Xuan Wu Ruo Canshen.

  "Hey! I'm telling you the truth! There really is someone in front of us, it's not just a fish anymore! I really truly felt it, I swear!"

  "What oath is being taken? Shouldn't the oath be sworn on 'us', does that make sense?"

  "Don't keep changing the subject! Someone is really here! Stop messing around!"

  "Alright, may I ask the person in front of you, who are you?"

  "Ah! Hey! What kind of person are you?"

  It seems that I've finally been discovered, but in this dimly lit environment, I notice that the child's head is always hung low. Clearly, it was just an instant change of chakra, and many jonin can't even detect the chakra armor on me, so why can a child like this...

  Forget it, "he" taught me that no matter what, first of all, addressing someone is a polite behavior, which applies to both living and dead things. And ah! I was being impolite just now! It's really not right when conversing with others.

  I'm very sorry! I silently apologize in my heart.

  "I am Yoroshiku... Yoroshiku, you... guys, can call me that for now." I said calmly. After some thought, I decided to use "you guys" instead of "you".

  "It sounds like it shouldn't be a name."

  "Right, right! I think so too!"

  "It feels like this name... seems a bit strange!"

  "Hmm." I chuckled lightly. "That is indeed what they call me."

  "And you... how should I address you? You don't want me to call out three names at the same time, do you?" I thought for a moment and decided that "you" (plural) was more suitable than "you" (singular).

  There was a moment of silence, and when I thought he (they) wouldn't answer me, a low voice slowly said.

  "......Heavily mistaken."

  “………….。”

  “………….。”

  The other two voices did not refute either.

  Serious mistake......? Repeated mistakes? This name............

  "Why should you call yourself that?" "Wrong", it was never supposed to be a word that appears in the name, wrong, wrong, wrong, isn't it hurting him every time he is called by this name? You are an error!

  "That's his name."

  "... is also our common designation, all other people's designations for this body."

  The mistake of Tianya's "wrong" family.

  I couldn't help but chuckle at what seemed like an unintentional muttering from a kid.

  Is it wrong for Tianya to guard the house? And me...

  It's really... surprisingly similar.

  Everyone, please give me some feedback. As usual, these few chapters before returning to Konoha will probably have some weird parts and small details that are off. Just remind me and don't scold me, I'll be afraid.

  That's it!
