Chapter 186 Self-pity

"Brother Sasuke, how about
"Let's run!"

Looking at the black light in front of him, Hinata Neji is pressing forward step by step.

In my mind, Gui Deng Shui Yue trembled.

He didn't know Sasuke's intention of giving in step by step, he just knew that this person was so strong.

If the fight continues like this, I'm afraid that both myself and Sasuke will have to answer here one after another.

Three steps away from the side and back is the main door of the hut.

Uchiha Sasuke calmly moved his steps and quickly responded in his heart:
"If you want to run away, I might as well throw you to someone else."

If you go out at this time, you will definitely attract attention.

Neji's mind was already in a state of confusion. If he said something nonsense again, everything would really be over.

At the same time, Neji's palm filled with black and blue chakra touched Sasuke's chest.

However, he looked like he didn't care and just wanted to get rid of it all with brute strength.

He dared to open his eyes, only to see that Sasuke had already sat back on the edge of the bed, with his legs crossed and bent over, staring closely at the boy in white opposite him.

That is his life, which has been firmly tied to this young man whom he has only known for a day.

All I saw was that Hyuga Neji was filled with black energy.

I saw him standing firm and moving his neck.

Veins popped up on his forehead, arms and neck, as if they were wrestling with some incredible force.

After all, at that moment, Shuiyue had already experienced a revolving door in life.

I began to recall and summarize my short and boring life.

During the ups and downs, he had been completely impressed by Uchiha Sasuke.

Now, he has completely seen the situation clearly——

Seven or eight giant inverted-taper iron nails were inserted deeply into his hands, feet and torso.

On the other side, from Neji's perspective, he was already in the blood-red purgatory space.

I'm afraid, it's no different than death.

In the blink of an eye, Hinata Neji stopped all his movements.

He lowered his hands and turned around to face Hyuga Neji, as if he had given up resistance.

Aren't we in the same group?

On the other side, Hyuga Neji has been completely controlled by the darkness in his heart. Afterimages have appeared in his rapid movements, and his whole person is filled with evil spirits.

Gui Deng Shuiyue, who saw all this through the soul puppet, had already closed his eyes in despair.

The originally pure white eyes were now covered with a layer of black energy, and he spun his steps towards Uchiha Sa.

In the space, Uchiha Sasuke's faint voice came:
"In addition, Orochimaru's chakra will also be included in the curse seal.

Although there is still soul perception, it can no longer communicate with the outside world.

He nailed himself firmly to the ground, making himself unable to move.

Just as Neji endured the huge pain and struggled fiercely.

"Huh?? Do we still have such an option?"

"Bagua·Sixty-Four Palms!"

Uchiha Sasuke suddenly opened his eyes, and his bright red three magatama sharingan looked at Neji.

"What happened? This is simply unbelievable.
"I thought my heart stopped."

"The curse seal is the natural energy obtained through the cells of a ninja named Jugo, and then converted into chakra energy used by the inoculated person."

Sasuke interrupted Kito Suigetsu's chatter.

Gui Deng Shui Yue was stunned.

Gui Deng Shui Yue sighed sincerely.

Even so, his entire body was still unable to move at all.

I kindly advised you to run for your life, but you...
"Shut up and watch quietly."

Ghost Lantern Shuiyue howled.

"Sharingan Genjutsu·Magic·Shaohang no Jutsu!!"

The whole person seemed to be imprisoned by something invisible.

As long as Sasuke dies, even if he is let go, it will mean that he will be sealed in this doll forever.

For a long time, Ghost Light Suigetsu did not hear the sound of Uchiha Sasuke falling to the ground as he expected.

"Sasuke-nii! You can't do this!!"

Severe pain continued to come from the penetration site. The more Hyuga Neji struggled, the more intense the pain became.

"Therefore, when you try to trigger the use of the power of the curse seal, it will successfully trigger the third party's chakra to disrupt the flow of your original meridians.

"So, in the current situation, I suggest you try to turn off the Suppression Curse Seal Transformation first, and then try to turn it on again.

"In this way, you can successfully break this illusion."

Sasuke said lightly.

In his opinion, the curse seal matter generally has more advantages than disadvantages.

As long as Neji survived last night's high fever, there shouldn't be any big problems in the future, just like his past experience.

Therefore, Sasuke couldn't wait to share with Neji the information he had just learned from the system not long ago.

I hope to help Neji control his rage and at the same time let his friends practice the curse seal's natural restraint effect on illusions.

However, Neji's condition was far beyond Sasuke's expectations, and he only heard the other party yell:
"You are always like this! Why do you force me to trust another guy I have never met at the cost of my life?!"

Regarding the existence of Suigetsu as an "unexpected" factor, Hyuga Neji showed extraordinary anger.

Just listen to him continue shouting:
"It was the same way in the Kingdom of Water! You chose to risk your life so easily for a common boatman whom you only met once!

"Do you know how much hope and bet I have invested in you?!"

Hinata Neji's expression was ferocious, and his eyes were about to burst.

I don't know if it's because of the pain in my body or the huge anger in my heart.

"You will never understand how tragic it is to be doomed from birth!
"You will never know how heavy the price you have to bear is to break out of this cage!
"You and I are born different. I cannot afford to lose."

Among the shackles made of giant iron nails, Hyuga Neji looked up to the sky and sighed unwillingly.

On the cheeks with black feather patterns, two lines of clear tears slowly shed.

silence.

A long silence.

After a long time, Uchiha Sasuke's voice finally echoed in this space again——

“I have never needed anyone’s dependence, and I hate forcing others.

"It's just that you need such a role, and I can help you. What's more, I'm willing to be your friend.

"For me, the most important thing is this last one - friends, for me, this is the biggest prerequisite for all the bonds between us.

"What about Hokage, Hokage's hand, what lies, face, sacrifice? These are all nonsense between you and the deceitful monkey. I have never thought about it that way.

"The way I see it, it's simple, we're friends. You'll help me and I'll help you.

"As for the decision-making of the Kingdom of Water, that is all my own business. It is another matter and has nothing to do with you.

"Is it possible that you also want to interfere with me?!"

At the end of the conversation, Uchiha Sasuke became a little excited.

Then, Sasuke sighed again and said slowly:

"I really never thought that you would be so dissatisfied with my style of conduct. But you have to know that I am not a fool and I know what I am doing."

Hinata Neji was speechless.

In Uchiha Sasuke's words, he himself gradually came to his senses.

Yes, everything is just wishful thinking.

It was he who forcibly attached too much meaning to Sasuke.

In Neji's opinion, the most important thing is the final result.

So unknowingly, his demands on Sasuke had crossed the boundary of interference that a "friend" would accept.

But what Neji didn't know was that for Uchiha Sasuke, the boundary of personal will was what the other party cared about most.

"so."

Neji opened his mouth, he wanted to say something harsh.

I can take my destiny into my own hands.

He wanted to tell Sasuke that he was wrong from the beginning.

You should not look for the other person and place your heavy life relief on the other person. But then I thought about it, with my own identity and political ecology, it was impossible to influence the fate of the Hyuga clan through normal channels.

Not to mention "taking your destiny into your own hands" and becoming Hokage or something.

Is it possible that he really wants to defect to Orochimaru?
Hinata Neji clenched his fist tightly.

Unconsciously, the nails were embedded into the flesh, and traces of dark red blood oozed out.

"Some of the words may be a bit unpleasant to hear. But I really think they might be helpful to you. I also want to tell you from the bottom of my heart."

Just as Neji was thinking wildly, Uchiha Sasuke's voice came to his ears again:

"That day, in the open space in front of Ganli Gandian, you once asked me.

"'Which is more tragic than having everything and then losing it all, or being born and imprisoned in a fate that is completely irresistible?'

"I thought about it for a long time after I went back, and finally I came to the conclusion that the question you raised is actually meaningless.

"So what if you're miserable? So what if I'm miserable?!
"Ignoring myself, let's talk about my teacher Hatake Kakashi. His heroic father was forced by rumors in the village to commit suicide. All his classmates in the same period died in the war.

“How miserable should he be?

"And Uzumaki Naruto. He has no father or mother. He was born with a demon fox sealed in his body. He has been isolated and neglected by the village since he was a child. Is he more miserable than you?
“And Iruka whose parents were killed by Kyuubi;
“Kitō Suigetsu, whose entire clan was wiped out and himself imprisoned by Orochimaru for several years;
"And the Fourth Mizukage Gotachibana Yagura, who was controlled by illusions and died at the hands of his subordinates. Ranking them, which one is more miserable?

"Why bother with these issues? Why wallow in your own pain?"

Uchiha Sasuke's tone changed again and he solemnly said:
“It’s useless to compare ourselves to the miserable, we have to look forward!

"Ningji, you are right, I am indeed different from you, but it is not the difference in birth, but the acquired attitude towards the pain.

“The difference between us does not lie in the depth or severity of each other’s misery.

"For me, I don't want to live in the past anymore! Even looking back at it is a huge waste of my life.

“I want to look forward and live in the future that I built with my own hands!
"But you have been stuck in self-pity and can't extricate yourself!

"Even though I have decided to move forward now, I still feel that my suffering is superior to others, and I even admire my ragged wounds with sadness, hoping that a flower will bloom on it!!

"But Neji, I want to tell you! Never pity yourself, that is the behavior of a despicable coward!!"

In the illusion space, Uchiha Sasuke suddenly appeared in front of Hinata Neji.

He grabbed the giant iron nail, leaned forward, and stared directly into the other person's eyes.

Almost roaring, he yelled the last words.

Hinata Neji looked at each other blankly.

I just felt that Sasuke's words turned into a drumstick, beating continuously on the door of my heart.

Those frozen emotions.

Those dark consciousnesses that are unknown to others, or even unknown to everyone, feel like they have been split open by a giant ax at this moment.

The ice is cracking and the waters of the soul are turbulent.

"I've given you the method to unlock the illusion. The rest is up to you."

After saying these words, Uchiha Sasuke disappeared in this illusion space again.

Neji thought about everything that had just happened.

Carefully savor the respective meanings of these three sentences: "Don't feel miserable", "Don't pity yourself", and "Look forward".

For a long time, compared with Sasuke, Neji always felt that the burden and shackles on his body were too heavy.

Although, the two people's movements followed each other and in the same direction.

But compared to Uchiha Sasuke, he always seems to be a light-weight, dragging his feet, and struggling.

Now that I think about it, the reason behind this difference may be contained in those nine words just now.

Thinking of this, Ningji once again felt something in his heart.

At the same time, all over his body, he felt the severe pain of being penetrated by giant nails.

It struck again, causing Neji to grit his teeth in pain.

Immediately, he no longer hesitated, and followed Sasuke's instructions to fumble to suppress and control the curse seal.

After several attempts, Neji finally mastered the method of retracting and releasing the curse seal. At the same time, everything was just as Sasuke said.

When he actively triggered the curse seal for the second time, he also unlocked the terrifying Sharingan Golden Binding genjutsu as he wished.

The surrounding scene once again changed from the bright red purgatory back to the scene of an ordinary cabin.

"I see.

"Thank you for speaking truthfully to me. Although it hurts, it is beneficial to me."

Hinata Neji once again suppressed the curse seal and said sincerely to Uchiha Sasuke in front of him.

However, Sasuke showed no reaction.

Neji stepped forward to check, but found that the other party was already leaning on the head of the bed, sleeping with his eyes closed.

Neji sighed, slowly laid Sasuke down on the bed, and covered him with the quilt.

After doing all this, he only felt out of breath, standing in the middle of the room with his hands on his hips.

Looking around, there was no place where I could rest. Thinking about it, it would be better to go back to the room I had before.

Just as he was about to leave, Neji seemed to remember something.

He reached out to Sasuke's waist and held the "soul doll" in his hands again.

"Don't sleep! Sasuke-nii!!!

“Can’t sleep anymore!

"Killing people!!"

As soon as the opponent held it in his hand, Gui Deng Shui Yue roared with all his strength.

However, Sasuke only moved slightly, without any unnecessary reaction.

Suigetsu stared at Hinata Neji, desperately waiting for his fate.

But he saw that Neji just smiled mockingly and put Suigetsu back on Sasuke's bedside again.

However, his eyes were still fixed on the rough doll.

Neji raised his right hand to his mouth and made a zipper gesture.

Then, he made another threatening gesture, turned around and strode away.

"No, Brother Sasuke, can you really sleep like that to death?

"Are you that sleepy?

"Can you finish the aftermath before going to bed?"

Ghost Light Suigetsu kept chattering in Uchiha Sasuke's mind with a crying voice.

After hearing the sound of the door closing, Sasuke did not open his eyes, but stretched out his hand to put the "mind puppet" on his chest again, and murmured in his mind:
"Don't make any noise, I'm very sleepy.

"Let me get some sleep."

Shuiyue was speechless for a moment.

After a while, he carefully whispered again:

"What, can you touch this doll? Why do I feel like I peed just now?"

"Shut up! It's so noisy."

Uchiha Sasuke turned over angrily and fell into a deep sleep again.
-
I really slept for a long time this time.

Waking up naturally, Sasuke felt that all the lingering fatigue in his body had been smoothed away by sleep.

Sometimes, the best bridge between exhaustion and hope is a good, restful night's sleep.

Uchiha Sasuke turned over and sat up, looking at the lotus flower floating in the corner of the room, wondering how much time had passed.

According to the water level, I had probably slept for more than ten hours.

So, right now, it's about early morning.

Sasuke himself was shocked to find out that he had slept for so long.

I saw him getting out of bed, pushing the door open and walking out.

Outside the house, the tunnel is deep and long.

"Hey, are you there?"

In his mind, Uchiha Sasuke spoke to Suigetsu in his heart.

"what."

Gui Deng Shui Yue yawned and replied lazily.

"Now, let me take you to see the moon."

Uchiha Sasuke's eyes lit up and he walked out of the house.

In the tunnel, several crows flew past with a hoarse sound.
