Chapter 77: Birth Part 1
In the gloomy sky, the blood-colored moon was like a ruby embedded in the dark curtain. The earth was enveloped in a strange red light, and nine magatama appeared above the blood moon.
The sacred tree grows and the ten tails roar.
This is a doomsday scene. Chakra is constantly gathering. People are wrapped in white cocoons. The roots of the sacred tree pierce the earth and grow wildly. It is absorbing the power of the entire world.
Uchiha Madara has entered Six Paths mode at this time, with short white horns representing the Otsutsuki clan growing out of his head.
He held the sickle in his hand and pointed at Runyu, who was covered in bruises. On the ground beside Runyu, the hidden edge had been shortened into three pieces.
The cold moon was shining brightly, shrouded in blood, the wind was faintly carrying blood, and Runyu was weak and weak at this time.
"The weak only deserve death."
A cold light flashed, and the body and head separated.
"Wounded Tomb·Border Prison"
"..."
Runyu woke up suddenly, wiped the cold sweat from his head, opened his eyes and looked at the gray world, he dreamed of Uchiha Madara again.
Simply not sleeping, Runyu got up, dressed, made the bed, turned on the lamp, took out the scroll and started writing.
Have you ever seen the sun at four o'clock in the morning?
Runyu had seen the night sky at 3:30 in the morning. Three months passed quietly. Bai Jue never appeared again since then. It was just half a month ago that he lost another three hundred packages.
He knew that everything was not over yet, and the most terrifying enemy was constantly regaining his strength.
Runyu has not strengthened the management of Huichun Powder. If they can't steal it, they will probably take it. This is obviously not the development direction he expects.
It's just a thing, he really doesn't feel sad at all. If there is a chance, he will let Uchiha Madara work part-time to pay off his debts.
Three hours later, Runyu piled the finished scrolls on the bookshelf, rubbed her wrists, and went downstairs to have lunch.
"Master Runtama, good morning." The servant greeted him, and Runyu began to enjoy breakfast. According to Uchiha Reige, Higashino Yumu is close to the period of childbirth, and a new life will be born in the next few days.
At the end of July, 13-year-old Higashino Yuka was pacing outside the house, with cold sweat breaking out on her forehead. When she heard the painful wailing of her sister inside the house, the anxiety on her face became more intense. She had hated the appearance of this child.
But now there was only anxiety on her face.
After another half moment, the wailing in the room had become inaudible. The long-term severe pain had made her lose the strength to wailing.
Half an hour later, the midwife opened the door and let Higashino Yuka, who was waiting impatiently outside, in. First she saw the crying baby that had been washed and wrapped in white satin.
Then she saw her sleeping sister with a smile on her face. No, Higashino Youka's expression changed drastically.
He walked to the bed and put his hand to his sister's nostrils, but she didn't breathe.
She stood there blankly like a puppet, feeling as if a hole had opened in her heart, and invisible things kept passing by. Her heart became increasingly empty, and her eyes slowly lost their sparkle.
Standing next to her was Nonoyu, whose face was full of grief and guilt. She was also crying, shedding silent tears.
Dong Ye Youhua suddenly knelt on the ground and started crying heartbreakingly. She cried desperately and loudly, as if she had been abandoned by the whole world.
The sister who took care of her since she was a child, the sister who always protected her, the sister who gave all the food to her during the hungry years, the sister who was willing to give up her dignity to make her feel better.
Gone, never to come back.
Everyone stopped what they were doing, and the desperate and sad atmosphere even affected the crying baby, but no one came forward, and they didn't know how to comfort the child.
Suddenly, Nonoyu, who was crying silently, knelt next to Higashino Youka, stretched out his arms, hugged her tightly, and kept repeating: "I'm sorry...I'm sorry..."
The two hugged each other and burst into tears, all their grief washed away by tears.
Looking at Dongye Youhua who was kneeling on the ground crying, Runyu, who was watching everything with the eyes of his soul from a distance, also felt uncomfortable.
During that time, Higashino Yumeng lived in the abyss of guilt, which consumed her energy and vitality. When she gave birth to a child, she did not survive.
Higashino Yumeng died and suffered heavy bleeding during childbirth. In the end, she decided to save the child.
Just like the choice Runyu's mother made back then, in this choice, her mother would choose to sacrifice herself.
This child was named Higashino Nozomi, which is said to be Higashino Yumu's decision before his death, which symbolizes the hope of rebirth from the ashes of death.
I hope that his appearance will give Higashino Yuuka, who has lost the whole world, the motivation to live.
The child looks very much like Higashino Youmeng. His skin is very white, but he doesn't look like a member of the Yeyue clan.
Runyu once saw the child through the eyes of the soul from a distance. The baby was wrapped in light yellow soft satin and neither cried nor fussed. The skin was pink and tender, as if it was shining with light.
"It's so cute." Runyu grinned silently, and then fell into silence again. It can be said that Higashino Youmeng's death was self-inflicted, but Runyu still felt a little guilty.
Runyu squatted on the roof, looking up at the setting sun on the horizon. Visible in the distance were the prosperous Konoha Village, the towering Hokage Rock, and the Hokage Building at the core of Konoha. On the left was the forest of death created by Mu Dun.
He watched this scene for several months, but he never got tired of it.
During the Warring States Period, there were continuous battles and various ethnic groups fighting. There should be no idler like him.
"Give this to Higashino Nozomi."
It is an extremely well-carved white jade Ruyi. The quality of the jade is pure and flawless, and the carving technique is also excellent. The color is bright and lustrous, and the texture is delicate. It outlines the pattern of dragons and phoenixes in auspiciousness, but does not destroy the delicate and smooth nature of the jade itself. Finally, it is made of red
Thin threads with gold in the middle form a safety buckle and form a loop into a pendant that can be hung around the neck.
A few traces of compressed sword energy have been added to this jade Ruyi. You can locate this object just by concentrating and feeling quietly.
He did this because he was well prepared and never meant to harm anyone.
"Yes." Although Uchiha Reige was not romantically involved, she still accepted the jade wishful pendant. After all, with the death of Higashino Yumu, the grudges were settled.
One thing that gives Runyu a headache is the raising issue of Higashino Nozomi. Higashino Youka is just thirteen years old. If she is raised by her, it may have a lot of impact on her life in the future.
Moreover, she may not be willing. Higashino Nozomi's father made her suffer a lifetime of shame, and Higashino Nozomi's birth took away her favorite sister.
That night, Nonoyu did not go home and stayed with Higashino Youka all night. He was unable to save Higashino Youmeng, which was a huge blow to her.
In just one night, Higashino Youka's state of mind was like that of two people, and she seemed to suddenly become an adult.
The next day, Higashino Yuuka planned a small funeral for her sister without crying or fussing. Only Mitsuki Akai, Noono U, and Runyu attended. A life passed like this, and not many people will remember it.
