Chapter 279 Hehe! Kimimaro, it’s fun.
"You know, the Kaguya clan is famous for fighting to the death. Everyone is a desperate fighter. Unless they shed their last drop of blood, they will not care about life or death."
"That's why others call us crazy, fighting crazy."
Kaguya Izumi's knuckles turned white from being pinched. No normal person could tolerate such comments.
But unfortunately, most of the people in the Hyuga clan are not normal in their brains. Their thought processes are very strange, and they are always unable to fight with others on the same channel. They think this title is very honorable.
During the Third Ninja World War, the Kaguya clan was the most active. Almost all of the clan left the village to fight, leaving only women, children and the elderly behind.
The young and middle-aged men followed the troops into the battlefield. Each of them was as fierce as a tiger and had courage that could not match ten thousand men. On the front battlefield, they put great pressure on Konoha.
Fortunately, their numbers were not enough to turn the tide of the war, otherwise, if they had continued to fight in this way, the war would probably have been delayed for a few years.
"In such a tribe, I am an outlier. I was born different from the others in the tribe. I hate war and endless fighting."
Kaguya Izumi let out a long breath, the bloodshot in her eyes faded slightly, and rationality took over again.
"After saying so much, what is your selfish motive?" Xingye Feng asked calmly. "Your experience makes you resentful, which is reasonable, but this is not your selfish motive."
Hui Yequan was silent for a moment, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Come with me."
After saying that, he took heavy steps and led Xingye Feng step by step into a dark dungeon.
Seeing the child in the dungeon with his limbs bound by fine iron chains, Xingye Feng frowned, wondering how there could be a child in such an environment.
Although the dungeon was dimly lit, it was nothing to Feng Xingye. Through the iron bars, he saw two red moles between the child's eyebrows.
It suddenly dawned on me that this must be Kimimaro, the genius ninja who died young.
Under the original historical development, Kimimaro would be discovered and taken away by Orochimaru, and was once used as a container.
He possesses the Shikotsu Kekkei Genkai and has a great talent for fighting. It's a pity that he was born with a blood disease, otherwise he would have been a powerful ninja.
"Is this child related to you?"
There is no wind without waves. Since Kaguya Izumi brought him here, there must be a reason.
The most likely possibility is family relationship.
Hoshino Kaede's guess was very accurate. Kaguya Izumi nodded and spoke slowly.
"His grandfather and I are brothers."
Xingye Feng raised his eyebrows, feeling surprised, and thought secretly in his heart.
"Butterfly effect?... No, it shouldn't be." Hoshino Feng silently stared at Kaguya Izumi. In his eyes, the old man was already at the end of his life and might die in the next second.
"Kimaro's life was pretty tough, and his only relative passed away without him even noticing."
Xingye Feng thought so.
"No wonder you hate war. You selfishly want to protect the child." Xingye Feng said. "It's really tragic."
"According to the nature of the Kaguya clan, this child is used as a 'weapon'." Hoshino Kaede looked at Kaguya Izumi. "You wanted to save him and have been waiting for the right opportunity."
Kaguya Izumi said sadly: "Although I am an elder, I don't have the strength to protect Kimimaro."
He looked at Kimimaro with sad eyes in the dungeon, whose eyes were pure and bright.
As soon as he was born, before he even opened his eyes to see the world, he was taken to a dungeon and imprisoned. This dark life accompanied Kimimaro throughout his life.
Hoshino Feng stood outside the dungeon, stroking his chin as if thinking about something.
"So you think that as long as there is no war, Kimimaro doesn't need to be used as a 'weapon'?"
Kaguya Izumi nodded.
Hearing this, Xingye Feng couldn't help but sneer: "You call this a solution? I think it's just a daydream."
"You've lived for so long, don't you understand?"
Kaguya Izumi opened her mouth, at a loss as to what to do.
Xingye Feng further explained: "If you can lock up a child since childhood, what else can you expect from them?"
"I think you might as well ask the Six Paths Sage for help. I think that's more realistic."
“Sometimes being too idealistic is just wishful thinking. It is useless except for seeking stability.”
Kaede Hoshino's words left Kaguya Izumi speechless and ashamed.
The cruelty of reality kept pouring salt on him, making him extremely uncomfortable.
"Could it be that...God is unwilling to let him go?" Kaguya Izumi murmured to herself.
Hearing this, Xingye Feng looked at Kimimaro and smiled: "I am optimistic about him, are you interested in making a deal with me?"
After saying this, Kaguya Izumi suddenly looked up, with hope in her eyes.
The two men, who were over a hundred years old in total, were discussing something. After a moment, there was a loud bang, and Hoshino Kaede destroyed the chains on Kimimaro and picked him up.
The simple and innocent little guy subconsciously hugged Xingye Feng tightly. At this time, he was still a blank sheet of paper, and had not been infected.
The inhumane imprisonment made Kimimaro mentally confused. He was already two years old and could not speak clearly.
Fortunately, all this can be changed. When Kaguya Izumi saw the chain break, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
From this moment on, Kimimaro had a future and the qualifications to pursue the road ahead.
"Leave the family and go find Sanshui. Don't forget, your life now belongs to me." Xingye Feng left a light sentence and then disappeared.
"You...who are you?" Xiao Junmaro tilted his head, blinked his innocent big eyes, leaned in Hoshino Kaede's arms and said in a childish voice.
The voice was like an invisible wind, penetrating into people's hearts and making Xingye Feng's eyes light up instantly.
One hand uncontrollably placed on the little guy's fair face and began to knead it.
"Well, it's comparable to Shisui. It feels like pinching cotton. Good review." Hoshino Kaede murmured as if possessed.
Kimimaro tilted his head, looking at the person in front of him who was holding him in confusion. Feeling the hands constantly moving on his face, he immediately wrinkled his face, which had been pinched until it was slightly red.
Seeing this, Xingye Feng put down his hand as if he had obtained a new toy, coughed lightly, and spoke seriously.
"You will be with me from now on. You don't have to go back to the dark dungeon."
Kimimaro didn't understand the rest of what was said, but he remembered the last sentence clearly. His eyes suddenly brightened several times, his expression changed drastically, and his tone became a little excited.
"Really?" Kimimaro asked expectantly.
After all, he is still a child, active by nature, and even if he is tied up with chains, he still can't stop his curious heart.
Xingye Feng nodded and said, "Really, but if you don't obey, you'd better watch out for your butt."
After saying that, he supported Kimimaro with one hand and patted his little butt with the other.
It was very mild, only a slight pain, but it was nothing to Kimimaro.
Just a little... shame?
Seeing the blush appearing on the fair face, Xingye Feng seemed to have discovered a new world. He kept teasing her and never got tired of it.
"Hehe, I got another fun baby. This deal is worth it."
