Neither Shennong Physician's earth-shattering actions today nor his final words are easy for him to digest or accept.
Saying something like 'if I ever considered myself a teacher'...
What she wants is genuine recognition from the other person!
This is recognition from a student!
"However, imparting knowledge, resolving doubts, passing on secret techniques, and even entrusting someone with a task must be based on a certain degree of recognition."
Huang continued.
To be honest, he didn't find any connection to the kinship or gratitude between him and Yu Liu in Shennong's final chaotic, violent, and insane memories of his desire to conquer everything.
Furthermore, that guy's initial intention was indeed simply to use this girl as a vessel to revive Zero-Tail. As for the details, the trivial matters, and the emotions that were hard to discern as genuine or feigned, none of them were within Ara's scope of observation.
As for why he said that, it was probably because he was thinking of someone at that moment.
The reason that man initially taught him Konoha-ryu swordsmanship was simply because he was assigned by the Konoha leadership.
However, later on, the other party truly imparted all his unique understanding of swordsmanship to him, and also did not acknowledge any title or identity as a teacher.
Although he didn't have any contact with that man for a long time afterward.
However, when he occasionally thinks of the other person, Ara will still silently murmur in his heart: "Teacher Gekko Hayate."
I suppose Shennong was the same way.
Perhaps it was when she first saw the girl she had saved bravely snatch life from the clutches of illness; or when she noticed the girl becoming increasingly close to her in her daily interactions; or when she earnestly followed her in learning medicine and identifying herbs; or when she chirped incessantly like a nightingale, calling out "Teacher Shennong, Teacher Shennong" every day...
There may have been moments of pride and recognition: This is my student.
Therefore, in the last, most insane, most chaotic, and most tragic moment of his life, he entrusted his lifelong pursuit and obsession with the last wish to an outsider who did not belong to Kongren.
"In other words, in other words..."
Upon hearing such remarks, the girl trembled slightly and slowly raised her face. Her red-rimmed eyes, which had been filled with indifference, silence, and darkness, revealed a peculiar emotion.
She murmured to herself, but she could not, or perhaps dared not, voice her further speculations.
"Um,"
"In other words, there may have been a moment, or a period of time, when he considered you as his student."
Huang added downwards, while simultaneously handing the scroll and key in his hand forward again.
"I brought Shennong's last legacy with me."
"How you handle it next is up to you."
"Whether you discard and forget the past and start a normal life again, or inherit the legacy of the Kongnin lineage and seek revenge against me in the future, it's all fine."
'Clang.'
Seeing that the girl in front of him still did not make any move, he placed the two extremely valuable items in front of her after the rain stopped and turned to leave.
Having not returned for so long, that girl who always calls herself Master must be getting anxious.
However, after taking a few steps toward the entrance to the inner sanctum, he quietly stopped.
"I've forgotten who told me that,"
"A person truly disappears from this world not after his death, but when no one remembers him anymore."
After saying that, his figure slowly disappeared from sight under the watchful eyes of a group of Sky Ninjas.
Back in the rock village, Hotaru was still sitting quietly in the same spot, but in the dark corners around her, there were dozens of empty ninja corpses that had been cut in half at the waist.
These guys' lives were all taken in an instant; the clean cuts evoked not a sense of awe, but a deep sense of fear!
[That girl Hai Ren's methods are really.........]
After glancing at the extremely terrifying yet artistic scene, and the expressionless, kneeling monster girl in the dark corner awaiting further orders, Ara couldn't utter any words of reproach.
With just a slight nod, he indicated that they had done a good job and had accomplished the task perfectly.
Upon receiving this signal, Hai Ren abruptly lowered his head and then vanished from sight almost without a trace, like the passing night breeze.
At the same time, Ying followed the approaching footsteps and saw the returning young man.
"Master, Master!"
She suddenly stood up, her eyes filled with joy, and her outstretched call was filled with indescribable excitement, so much so that for a moment, she didn't know what to say except for that call, and just stared blankly at her.
"Are you scared?"
"one person."
Perhaps because of the identity and emotional entanglements between Shennong and Yuliu, Huang no longer felt the same indifference and distance towards the little apprentice he had taken in.
“Eh............”
The sudden question caused Hotaru's little mind to freeze for a moment.
Because in the current stereotype, such a greeting would never come from one's master!
"No, no."
However, she quickly recovered from that emotion and responded subconsciously.
In his view, demonstrating one's own strength is a skill that a ninja should possess.
However, when Hotaru noticed the tranquility in the other person's eyes and thought of that sudden concern, she paused briefly before slowly adding:
"At the beginning, there was some repayment,"
"I'm afraid of that fortress, afraid of that giant spider, afraid of those ninjas flying down from the sky..."
The girl counted them softly.
After all, whether it was the energy beam released by Angkor Fortress or the retaliation of Kongren here, she was the first to suffer.
"But I know that no matter what danger I encounter, my master will protect me."
"So, I wasn't scared at all after that!"
After releasing the gloom that had been building up in her heart, a calm smile suddenly bloomed on Ying's face.
How could she not have noticed those Sky Ninjas who were cut off by the invisible blade out of thin air!
Moreover, this was the first time he had ever officially come into contact with the world of ninjas, and the first time he witnessed such a terrifying scene.
However, in this terrifying atmosphere and environment, Hotaru kept firmly believing in her heart that this was a handiwork left by her teacher to protect her!
Therefore, she gradually calmed down her fear.
"It's definitely better to say it out loud."
"thank you teacher."
Ying let out a deep sigh of relief, and a warm smile returned to her bright face.
"Hmm, that spider scared you too."
Listening to his apprentice's one-sided account, Ara glanced at the earth spider on his shoulder with a lukewarm response.
That one glance made the little creature, who had just regained a little strength, feel wronged and scared. Its small body shrank back into the shadows of the corner.
If it could speak, it would surely launch into a full-blown accusation, arguing that its grotesque appearance was not its fault, and more importantly, it was not its choice to come into this world.
Fortunately, Huang showed no intention of settling scores and instead continued to press the question:
Do you need me to erase this memory for you?
"After all, this experience is still a bit too early for you."
Chapter 604 Can't we just become friends?
Do you need me to erase this memory for you...?
Ying only heard the first part of the conversation; she didn't hear what reasons her master gave afterward.
And there is no doubt that this is something the other party can easily do.
The Sharingan, known as the "Evil Eye," possesses numerous powerful and terrifying abilities, including erasing the memories of others.
"don't want,"
"No."
"do not want!"
"I do not want!!"
However, Ying showed great resistance to the proposal. She not only said no several times, but her slender fingers clenched into fists and her stepping back conveyed her determination and silently expressed her rejection of the proposal.
This somewhat extreme demeanor is very similar to the emotions he displayed when he ran away from Mount Katsuragi to protect his grandfather.
Huang had not expected his naive young disciple to react so strongly.
He was just presumptuously proposing the best solution.
Because taking things step by step is not bad.
And not all ninjas have to fight with enemies.
Becoming a teacher, or a clerical key or intelligence analyst, is also an option.
However, if this is the other party's own choice,
Therefore, he will not forcibly interfere with the other person's memory.
Just as Ara was about to say something according to the girl's wishes, Hotaru, who was standing in front of him with her cheeks down and her fists clenched, spoke first again:
"I know,"
"I know that I am weak as the heir of the Tsuchigumo clan. I have always lived under my grandfather's protection and have never really come into contact with the world of ninjas. When I encounter these things that are commonplace for ninjas, I show a very unbearable side."
"but,"
"I will work hard from now on, I will work really hard."
"Whether as your student or as the next successor of the Tsuchigumo clan."
"I want to truly step into the world of ninjas!"
At this point, the girl suddenly raised her head, her emerald green eyes radiating an unwavering determination.
