Suicide

The next day.

Toumaru woke up from his sleep, and the dark circles around his eyes had faded a lot.

Although the feeling of having a spring dream was not bad, it was more terrible than a nightmare if he did it every day.

In particular, this spring dream was very infuriating. It was fine if he couldn't get it in real life, but he couldn't get it in his dream either.

Toumaru got up and packed up his things. He put the Icha Icha Paradise under the pillow into his pocket and went to work in the fields with a refreshed mind.

Today's Toumaru was much more efficient than the previous few days. In addition, he was young and strong, and soon he finished today's task.

Seeing that there was no one, he came to the field ridge again and looked at the Icha Icha Paradise.

In the evening, there were already more insects outside. Toumaru packed up his tools and headed home.

Between the fields and ridges, Toumaru saw the wild child in front of him.

He saw that the wild child seemed to have noticed something. He looked back at Toumaru and then ran home.

Looking at the handsome back of the wild child, Toumaru swallowed his saliva and an instinctive impulse surged in his body.

The words that Uchiha Tunan said yesterday in the Fire Temple inexplicably flashed through his mind.

"Remember, one bag at a time. If the dosage is too much, you will be unconscious."

Unconsciously, evil thoughts quietly planted in his mind.

Several days later.

Late at night, there was no one on the street.

In addition to some crows perched among the trees and occasionally making some noises, there were also some white doves scattered everywhere, cooing.

The people on the roadside had already turned off their lights to rest.

On the quiet and deserted street, there were only a few dim yellow street lights that added some warmth to it.

Naoko Nohara's face was pale, her clothes were messy, like a walking corpse, walking step by step against the street.

Her eyes were full of tears, hazy the road ahead.

It made people unable to distinguish the direction.

As she walked, Naoko Nohara stood under the street lamp and collapsed on the ground.

Thinking back to what had just happened, Naoko Nohara trembled with fear.

She curled up and whispered.

After an unknown period of time, a cold wind blew on the street of flames.

The wind roared in the air, and the sound was mournful. Naoko Nohara was so cold that she trembled.

"Are you alright?"

Suddenly, a gentle and magnetic voice sounded in Naoko Nohara's ears.

Her entire body seemed to be wrapped up in warmth.

Nohara raised his tearful face and looked at the person.

The corners of the person's lips were perfect, and he seemed to be smiling at any time.

This kind of smile seemed to be able to push the sunlight away from the darkness in the clouds and shine in all of a sudden, gentle and composed.

Nohara was stunned for a moment, as if she had forgotten the previous nightmarish experience. She muttered, "It's you... Am I dreaming?"

Uchiha Tunan tightened the windbreaker she had just put on Naoko Nohara and said to herself,

"It's already so late and it's still so cold outside. It's not safe for a girl like you."

I'll send you home.

Uchiha Tunan's voice was gentle and soft, directly falling into the girl's heart.

Naoko Nohara stared at Uchiha Tunan and said in a daze, "I..."

"Can't walk anymore?"

Uchiha Tunan shook his head and gently picked her up. He said gently, "Where is your home?"

Naoko Nohara curled up in Uchiha Tunan's arms. She timidly reached out and pointed into the distance. "Then..."

Uchiha Tunan nodded and carried Naoko Nohara to her home.

Naoko Nohara rubbed her head against Uchiha Tunan's chest. She was not sure if this was reality or a dream. She muttered,

"What is your name?"

"Uchiha Tunan, Konoha Ninja."

Naoko Nohara was slightly stunned when she heard this. The light in her eyes dimmed a little as she said, "Ninja... Sir..."

Uchiha Tunan looked down at Naoko Nohara's eyes and smiled. "I should be younger than you. Just call me Tunan."

Naoko Nohara's face was pale. She pursed her lips and said, "Tunan..."

"What's wrong with you? Did you meet a bad person?"

As soon as this was said, Naoko Nohara instantly thought of the previous nightmarish experience, and her whole body began to tremble.

She took a deep breath and forced down the tears in her eyes.

"I... didn't..."

"That's good."

"We're almost there. Put me down."

"Okay."

At this time, Naoko Nohara's grandmother was standing outside the door, waiting with a worried face.

After waiting left and right, she finally saw Naoko Nohara and Uchiha Tunan coming from the corner of the street.

She immediately walked up and held Naoko Nohara's hand.

"Naoko, why did you come back so late? Grandma was worried to death."

When Naoko Nohara saw her worried grandmother, the tears in her eyes could no longer hold back.

However, a forced smile still appeared on her haggard face. "Grandma, I fell asleep on the ground before."

Naoko Nohara's grandmother finally smiled and nodded repeatedly, "It's good that you are fine. It's good that you are fine."

"Little fellow, thank you for sending Naoko back. Come in and have a seat."

Uchiha Tunan waved his hand and said, "No, it's late. I have to go back to the hotel to rest."

After that, he turned and was about to leave.

Naoko Nohara tightened her windbreaker and said reluctantly, "Your clothes."

Uchiha Tunan turned around and smiled warmly. "No need, this dress is for you."

Naoko Nohara nodded lightly and said, "Thank you."

Then, she watched as Uchiha Tunan turned into another street.

On the dim street, Uchiha Tunan suddenly heard hurried footsteps coming from behind.

He immediately stopped in his tracks and turned around to look.

Naoko Nohara ran to the street, panting. When he saw Uchiha Tunan turn around, he immediately shouted,

"Tunan! We will meet again, right?"

Uchiha Tunan shook his head and said, "I think we won't meet again. I'm going back to Konoha."

Naoko was stunned for a moment, her eyes flashed with disappointment, and then he shouted: "Naoko Nohara, this is my name!"

Uchiha Tunan smiled gently, waved his hand, and turned to leave.

"I will remember it."

Naoko Nohara's eyes were overflowing with tears. She reached out and wiped her tears.

When she could not see Uchiha Tunan's figure, she turned around and walked home.

At the door, Naoko Nohara's grandmother said worriedly, "Naoko..."

Naoko shook her head and walked straight into the room.

"Grandma, I'm sleepy."

In the bedroom, Naoko sat in front of the mirror.

Long time... long time...

Unconsciously, tears had already wet her heart.

Naoko Nohara came back to his senses and found that the sky was already a little white.

She tightened her windbreaker and took out a pen and paper from the cabinet.

An hour later, there was a sound of falling water by the river not far from Fenghuo Street.

At the same time, the quiet and sad sound of a flute sounded from the forest and spread to the entire Fenghuo Street in the blink of an eye...

After playing a song, Uchiha Tunan looked up at the sky. There was an inexplicable look in his eyes and murmured, "It's dawn."
