Escape from konoha 9
🕑 Added 2023-08-08 14:22:44 +0000 UTCIn the following days, Shiraishi often saw Ayane living alone in the school.
Suddenly she had no friends, nor the so-called desire for life, her eyes were empty, like a walking dead.
This may be the real attitude of a 'slave' in life.
It is estimated that in this lifetime, it is impossible to get out of this shadow.
Shiraishi doesn't know what kind of mood a girl who clearly yearns for freedom is defined as a 'slave' by her closest clansmen.
But it must be full of despair and pain that ordinary people can't imagine.
After that day, Ayane's grades plummeted, and the homeroom teacher Fujimura Taiga didn't say anything about her, and could only give her some trivial comfort and encouragement, so that she could study with peace of mind and don't think about anything.
Although he really wants to help his students, the tradition of the Hinata clan will not be changed by a school teacher who is nothing like him.
Fujimura Taiga understands this very well, and he also knows that there is no way to solve this kind of thing by asking the Third Hokage for help.
These giants are like small villages in Konoha Village.
Many regulations of Konoha Village do not control their internal affairs.
Shiraishi saw it very clearly.
The comfort of words is useless to Ayane.
It can only enlighten her from another level.
Spiritual wounds can only be healed with spiritual medicine.
••••••
Using pain to torture one's body has always been a good medicine to divert mental numbness.
Only by using this physical pain, can Ayane feel that she is truly alive now.
I am still a person, not a 'livestock' raised by the family.
She didn't understand what the family tradition meant, and she didn't want to figure it out, nor did she want to figure it out.
Although those adults kept enlightening her, saying that planting the 'caged bird' curse mark on her body was for her own good and for the sake of the family's inheritance.
All her sacrifices are not meaningless, but worthwhile.
If this is the case, why don't people from the clan sacrifice themselves? This questioning thought kept popping up in Ayane's mind.
The more she thought about it, Ayane felt that her heart was filled with a dark feeling that wanted to destroy everything.
Hatred also began to intensify.
With such thoughts of hatred and anger, her fair and gentle face also became a little ferocious, with a hint of ferocity added, without the gentleness it used to have.
Using the soft fist of the Hyuga clan to attack the wooden post, gradually, during the swing, her soft fist also gradually changed its taste. There was no soft fist at all, but she simply vented directly at the wooden post with her fist, becoming fierce and hard.
Even if the fist was bleeding and the pain continued, there was no tendency to stop.
Rather, using this pain to divert her mental numbness is exactly what she hopes.
After a while, she stopped this self-harming way of venting, and squatted next to the stake, with her hands hugging her knees, her head drooping, her long black hair covering her face, and only a slight sobbing sound could be heard.
The sun was setting, and the woods were shrouded in darkness.
It's almost dark.
The air in the forest has also become a bit cold.
Dark green leaves fell on Ayane's shoulders, and she was still sobbing softly.
Suddenly at this moment, the sound of slow footsteps came from the dark woods, which made her stop crying suddenly.
"So you are hiding here, but this place is really suitable for a person to lick the wound alone."
This voice, Ayane, was very familiar, and she couldn't help raising her head to look at the person coming.
That was her deskmate—Chiba Shiraishi.
A truly ordinary person.
Civilian with inconspicuous grades, average student.
That's all he is.
Although the relationship with him was quite harmonious before, she is not in the mood to deal with an irrelevant outsider like him now.
"Why are you here?"
She didn't call out the other party's identity with the gentle title of 'Shiraishi-kun' as before. On the contrary, her voice became stiff and unfamiliar.
Ayane was puzzled as to why Shiraishi came here, but there was a feeling of being spied on and discovering a secret, which made her very annoyed.
"There are many reasons, but most of them are drawn to the hatred and anger in your heart. I am actually the same as you."
Shiraishi showed a meaningful smile on his face.
"same as me?"
Ayane was stunned, not understanding what Shiraishi was talking about.
Shiraishi came out from the darkness, with a slight smile in his steady black eyes:
"Yeah, like you, I am a part of this twisted and unknowingly boring village. Even the insignificant part, commonly known as the humble thing whose destiny is controlled by others."
Ayane choked for breath.
Shiraishi's ordinary image suddenly became another stranger in his mind.
It's like getting to know your deskmate again.
Is he expressing dissatisfaction and hostility towards the village?
Why would he have such an idea?
But when Shiraishi said this, Ayane didn't know why, but her heart was filled with joy like resonance.
"You are very confused, aren't you?"
Shiraishi asked again with a smile.
Confuse?
What are you wondering about?
Facing Shiraishi's inexplicable question, Ayane frowned, and there was a hint of vigilance in her pure white eyes.
"Do you already feel that you are inferior?"
As soon as Shiraishi said this, Ayane's chest was filled with a strong murderous aura.
These words have already hurt her personality and self-esteem.
All the negative emotions rushed into her heart, causing Ayane to lose her mind in an instant. Her figure rushed towards Shiraishi quickly, and vigorously shook her fist at Shiraishi's body.
Shiraishi smiled slightly, Ayane, who was dominated by anger and thus lost her composure, her attack has become weak and deceptive, without any rules.
There is absolutely no need to be on guard against an attack of this level. Bai Shi said in his heart.
So, catch the fist that Ayane swung, and then counterattack, pressing her whole body against the tree next to her, preventing her from moving.
The situation was reversed in an instant.
It may be that the defeat was too sudden, so Ayane froze immediately.
It was completely unexpected that this would be the result.
"Have you been hiding your strength? Why are you doing this?"
Turning back to him, Ayane asked this question.
"What the heck? But before we get into that, how about we talk about your business?"
Shiraishi said in a gentle voice.
"Hmph, what do commoner like you know? Don't make me laugh."
Ayane said with a voice that wanted to crush Shiraishi's throat.
How does a civilian know how about her situation?
She was planted with a 'caged bird', and everything in her life in the future will be dominated and planned by those high-ranking clans.
The so-called freedom and dignity have been ruthlessly deprived from now on.
Whenever she sees the superior arrogance on the faces of those clans, she has a feeling that she wants to trample that arrogance under her feet.
Let them also try, how humiliating and hopeless it is to be played with dignity and freedom.
