Chapter 78: Unsatisfactory Darkening Effect, Always Comforting
Chapter 78: Unsatisfactory Darkening Effect, Always Comforting
"Big brother, haven't you forgiven me already? I know I'm wrong. I should've listened to you. Don't ignore me, okay?"
That's right since Naruto was locked in and jailed, Li Yaoxiang didn't care much about Naruto. The main reason for this is... This person, without suffering, will never remember.
So, Li Yaoxiang wanted Naruto to suffer not only physically but also mentally. Otherwise, after this thing passed, Naruto will change back to the careless character. He was afraid that he would be unable to bear it and slap this kid already.
Li Yaoxiang glanced at the system interface.
[Host: Li Yaoxiang
Darkening Target: Uzumaki Naruto
Target Soul: 12/40
Darkening Degree: 40%
Darkening Value: 191050
Mall: Omitted]
This time, Li Yaoxiang was really disappointed. Only increased by 3%, and only more than 30,000 points of darkening value. However, as long as he carefully observes the current state of Naruto, he can know why the system gives this data.
Naruto was tortured.
Recognizing the dark side of the village.
Hating Konoha Elders all the time.
But... what then?
Then there is no more then.
Hatred does not mean that he wants revenge.
Hatred does not mean he wants to kill.
These extreme thoughts did not even appear in his mind, even for a split second. It's like the employee resenting their Boss for asking them to work overtime without a salary increase, but the employee will not do anything to the Boss in the end.
In general, Naruto simply does not agree with Konoha 4's old practices. That's all.
'I was deceived by everyone's apparent light, and I felt angry.'
Compared to murder and revenge, he just hopes that he can leave this damned place as soon as possible, rather than thinking about the ones that are not.
After continuous observation for several days, seeing the darkening effect this time has reached the point where it can't be raised anymore. Li Yaoxiang did not plan to delay here.
He simply started planning his next step.
"Forgive you? Is it even useful to forgive you? Can forgiveness turn back time and erase the stupid things you did?"
Hearing Li Yaoxiang's voice, Naruto was overjoyed immediately.
Naruto simply ignored Li Yaoxiang for calling him stupid again.
"Big brother! You finally forgive me?!"
Yes, compared to the current situation, Naruto cares more about any Li Yaoxiang's response towards him. After all, no matter how much he suffers, the most unacceptable thing for him is to lose Li Yaoxiang, his only relative.
Therefore, the 3% darkening level given by the system may be largely due to Li Yaoxiang's ignorance of him and the trauma to his mind, rather than the apparent torture caused by the Root.
"What happened?"
"Do you think that as long as there is me chatting with you, at least the days here will not be so distressing?" Li Yaoxiang said what he really thought in his heart.
Naruto stopped.
A few thousand sentences that initially wanted to complain to Li Yaoxiang just stifled back into his stomach.
"Oh, you don't want me? Very good! It seems that you have adapted to life here, Naruto. It's my fault! It's me who has bothered you enjoying life here."
When Naruto heard Li Yaoxiang say this, he knew that he angered the big brother again. Fearing that the big brother won't care about him anymore, Naruto hastily cry out in surprise: "No! No! Big brother... don't say that, okay? Isn't this all I can do? I have been locked up for so many days. I don't know what they want to do to me."
"Hah! What do they want to do, isn't it easy to guess? You demon fox container is just a tool for them! Compared to a disobedient tool, of course a tool that has no emotions and only obeys orders is more satisfying! Can't you understand?"
"The next step is to turn you into an idiot, or to make you completely forget everything! Become a feelingless, walking corpse tool!"
Listening to Li Yaoxiang say this, Naruto became really scared.
It was not that he had never wondered what they wanted to do. But since he is full of beautiful things in his brain, how could he think of such a world of no humanity?
In his first response, he rejected Li Yaoxiang's statement: "This... how is this possible? Dad- but Fourth-Hokage is my dad! How can they treat me like this?"
After this was just spoken, Naruto regretted it.
Because Li Yaoxiang does not need to answer.
He also knew he was wrong.
If the village really takes care of his identity, how can he be treated like this now?
Li Yaoxiang stopped speaking again.
Naruto knew that he made the big brother angry again.
"Big brother... I'm sorry for disappointing you. I made you worry..."
Silence for a long time, Li Yaoxiang did not speak.
Naruto did not dare to say anything.
Li Yaoxiang, who has long been accustomed to Naruto's stupidity, of course, wasn't angry. He was just delaying the business because of this chicken skin. He was just brewing the atmosphere.
Seeing the atmosphere brewing, he directly asked in a harsh tone: "I ask you, do you want to go out?"
Naruto was overjoyed! "Yes! Of course, I do! Big brother, do you have a way?!"
However, Li Yaoxiang's next sentence was anger, and Naruto was shocked. "If I said that the cost of going out may sacrifice a lot of lives, would you still go out?"
Hearing the tone of big brother, Naruto knew that the big brother wasn't cracking a joke this time. Moreover, Naruto also felt that this might be a test for him by the big brother.
'If I let the big brother down again, maybe the big brother will never take care of me forever.'
'But if the price of going out will kill many people...'
This decision makes him very troubled. After considering for a long time, Naruto swallowed his saliva, stunned with a sentence: "Dead... dead... who will it be?"
The atmosphere became extremely quiet.
3 seconds passed...
Li Yaoxiang said again with no emotion: "I will give you ten breathing time to consider. If you don't want to go out, then forget it. You will live here alone in the future. Perhaps forgetting everything in the past is a good thing for you."
Upon hearing this, Naruto was not calm on the spot!
'Do not!'
'I don't want to lose memory!'
'I don't want to be sentimental!'
'I can't forget Hinata!'
'I can't forget Sasuke!'
'And, more importantly, I cannot forget big brother!'
Without a breath, Naruto immediately gave a firm answer: "Go out- Big brother, I want to go out! I must leave here too!"
Seeing Naruto so quickly make a firm resolution, Li Yaoxiang suddenly felt a sense of comfort.
'My own efforts are finally not in vain. This stupid younger brother finally lost his heart.'
"Well, Naruto, relax youself."
