Avoid my edge!
14: Chapter 14: Konoha’s White Fang?
Avoid my edge!
So hungry…
His stomach was growling loudly, and a burning sensation came from his gut.
The intense discomfort caused the boy to wake up directly from his coma.
With a start, he sat up from the ground.
Then, looking at the dark environment around him, he was somewhat at a loss.
He didn’t scream or look around wildly, but first hugged his knees, curling his body into a ball.
The scenes he had experienced before were now flashing back continuously in his mind.
His mother, who said she was going to find food but never returned.
His younger brother, who had always been well-behaved and cute by his side.
And that Ninja, who like a demon, had smilingly asked him, ‘Is it delicious?’…
Although the boy was not old.
He also knew that he might never see his mother or his brother again in this life.
He lowered his head, burying his face in his thighs, his body twitching as he tried his best not to let the sound of his sobbing escape.
“I was wondering who was crying.
So you’re awake…” A slow voice drifted over.
Looking up, it was the Ninja who wore the demon mask and had saved him, walking in from outside.
The boy hurriedly wiped his tears, trying his best not to look so pathetic.
“Hey, what’s your name?” Unexpectedly, the Ninja’s voice was actually quite pleasant to hear; he hadn’t noticed it before.
“Lord Ninja, my name is Yukio…” The boy murmured, “You can also…
also call me by my nickname Hikoro.
My mom always used to call me and my brother that.” Amamiya Ayane nodded.
Her ten years in the Land of Rain hadn’t been for nothing.
The girl knew that ‘Jun’ and ‘Hiko’ were both cultured and beautiful names.
They had a very high appearance rate in the nicknames commoners gave their children, carrying the simple blessings of parents for their offspring.
Translated, it was roughly similar to names like Zi, Xuan, or Yi from her past life.
“Yukio, here are some biscuits.
Eat them slowly with some water later.” “Because I was in a hurry earlier, I only fed you a Military Rations Pill.
I expect your stomach doesn’t feel too good right now.” Amamiya Ayane was not someone who liked to waste words.
She directly dropped some food and drink and instructed, “After you’ve rested, follow the river in the northwest direction.
You’ll see a small town once you’re out of the forest.” Bringing him this far could already be considered doing her utmost.
She couldn’t really act as a nanny, could she?
Yukio listened silently.
He hadn’t said a word from beginning to end, only at the very end, he asked timidly, “Lord Ninja…” “Hmm?” “That guy, is he dead?” “If not, I want to kill him with my own hands!” The boy gritted his teeth, his fists tightly clenched, his voice hoarse and malicious: “No, I’ll bite him to death.
I’ll bite off every piece of flesh and every drop of blood from his body, one mouthful at a time!” Amamiya Ayane sighed inwardly.
Her tone became even softer as she drew arashikiri: “He’s dead.
He died under this blade.
I ran him through the chest, blood flowed everywhere, and he died a miserable death.” The boy’s movements stiffened.
His tone became complicated: “Dead?
Good that he’s dead, good that he’s dead…” The tears he had just held back flowed down again uncontrollably at this moment.
Amamiya Ayane’s heart softened.
She approached and, as if comforting a pet, gently rubbed the boy’s head, then took out a few crumpled bills from her pocket and said softly, “There.
Good luck with your life in the future.” Like a dam bursting, Yukio’s tears flooded out, unstoppable.
Warm tears blurred his vision.
Even the demon mask right before his eyes appeared hazy, and that fierce expression now seemed like the smile of a deity.
“Lord, please tell me your name.” He knelt on the ground, speaking incoherently, “I will definitely repay you in the future.
This life of mine, no matter what…” “Well…
we’ll see about that.” “But I’ve remembered your name, Yukio.” With a ‘clink’, the girl sheathed her sword and reminded him, “By the way, the biscuits are compressed, so remember not to eat too many at once.”
