Chapter 17 Fate

On the grass outside the orphanage, Amber and Xiao Tan were sitting on the ground.

"Xiao Tan, have you seen the brightest star in the sky?"

"Um!"

"I heard it said before that when someone dear to you leaves, her soul will turn into a star to guard us. So you see, the dean is smiling at you."

"But...but I want the dean to come back."

Xiaotan was a little depressed.

"She can't come back."

Amber stroked the little girl's smooth short hair, "So you have to live like a dean and live with a smile on your face."

"I see."

Xiaotan buried her head on her knees. Amber thought she was crying, but she didn't expect that when the little girl raised her head again, a smile was already on her face.

"Xiao Tan has figured it out, even if the dean is not here, we still have brother Amber!"

"Ha, go to bed early, otherwise you will have to stay in bed again tomorrow."

Amber said softly, picked up Xiaotan and walked slowly into the house.

After checking again to make sure that all the children were covered with quilts, he stepped onto the grass again.

The moonlight flows like water, and the stars still shine.

The breeze blew by, and the grass that had been covered with a layer of silver gauze bent down, as if to welcome Amber's arrival.

Raising his right arm, a pure white butterfly appeared out of thin air and landed on his fingertips.

Amber knew very few ninjutsu, but she had so much chakra that she couldn't use it all up, and combined with the exaggerated mental power of the one from the world of death, thoughts that could only exist in her head before were now easy to use.

For example, illusion.

By adjusting the spiritual frequency, he finally manifested it with the unimaginably huge Yin Shield Chakra, creating the butterfly on his hand.

Its function is very simple, but it is very practical.

Anyone who sees this butterfly will have their five senses controlled.

As the wings flapped, a figure fell out of the air.

This is a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old.

Amber looked at the pair of glasses and said with a somewhat inexplicable tone: "The wind brought you back after all."

"You know me?!"

The young man pushed up his glasses. He learned everything from a certain snake and decided to follow him. He came back this time just to break the bonds of the past.

"How come I don't recognize my brother? Kabuto, are you in pain?"

Amber looked at him with distressed eyes and said in a very gentle tone, "It's a pity that it's too late. Your future is not in Konoha."

"You...brother Amber, you really know me!"

Kabuto was a little excited, even in disbelief, "But why, why doesn't the dean recognize me? I...killed...I killed her."

"This is the fate of ninjas."

Amber flicked her fingertips, and the butterflies danced gracefully, like dancing elves in the moonlight. "Being used as a tool, the person in power can discard it at will. This is the case for you, and the same is true for Nonoyu."

"you…"

Kabuto raised his head in astonishment and said after a long silence: "Brother Amber, please come with me. Lord Orochimaru gave me a new identity and a reason to live. With your talents far higher than mine, you will definitely succeed."

You can also get attention.”

"Only those who have an empty heart need that kind of thing."

Amber smiled and shook her head, "Leave, we will meet again in the future."

"But…"

Kabuto wanted to talk more, but unfortunately Amber was no longer willing to talk to him any more.

Starting from his feet, his entire body turned into a large butterfly and dissipated. It looked the same as the one at the beginning, but was much smaller in size.

Kabuto has been completing various tasks for Danzo over the years. While obtaining information, he has also fought against many different ninjas.

The current situation is clearly an illusion.

But when did it start? He didn't even feel chakra.

"Let's go..."

Orochimaru's deep and hoarse voice sounded from the side, and Kabuto could hear the solemnity in it.

"Lord Orochimaru..."

"Haha, I only fancy you. That kid just now is called Amber, right? I remember he seems to be a genin."

Orochimaru licked his mouth with his tongue, "Staying alone in Konoha like this, hahaha, it makes people feel interesting just thinking about it."

"I understand, Lord Orochimaru."

Kabuto looked at the orphanage under the moonlight, followed the people around him, and gradually disappeared into the night.





Bang!

The door was pushed open with force, Xiao Tan raised his hands, his two fleshy short legs jumped up quickly, and ran to the bedside.

"Brother Amber! The sun is shining on your butt. Didn't you say that you have to buy ingredients for the kitchen today? If you go late, you won't be able to buy fresh ones!"

This was something Nonoyu often said in the past. After Xiaotan wrote it down, her strong sense of responsibility as a member of the orphanage made her feel that she should do something.

"Okay, okay, get up."

Amber shook her head helplessly. After sending Kabuto away last night and frightening away Orochimaru, he had been studying his own genjutsu.

This thing requires a lot of talent and imagination.

Fortunately, Amber has both of these qualities and has a solid foundation. If he has any ideas, he will try them out immediately.

It's a pity that after a busy night, other than being more proficient, I made no progress at all.

This is not unexpected at all.

Maybe, you can get some ninjutsu?

This thought flashed past and was suppressed in an instant. Now is not the time.

After putting on the ninja costume, Amber tidied up the cylindrical charcoal tied on her head, and at the same time returned the bow tie behind her to its proper position.

After everything was settled, the two of them walked outside together.

By this time, the children had already gotten up, and they also had things to do, such as collecting firewood, carrying water, doing hygiene, and helping grandma in the kitchen.

"Brother Amber, are you only taking Xiao Tan with you again? It's too partial!"

"That's right, Xiao Tan is stupid and can't do anything at all."

"I also want to buy ingredients. Today is the village market day, and the streets will be very lively."

Listening to these gossips, Xiao Tan blushed angrily and shouted loudly: "You are talking nonsense, I am very capable, I can help Brother Amber carry vegetables, I can bargain with those merchants, well, I can also distinguish those things

Fresh or stale!”

"We can do this too!"

"Brother Amber is partial!"

"I'm going too!"

Xiaotan didn't say it was okay, but once he did, they became even more enthusiastic.

Amber saw that the little girl was about to cry, and couldn't help but rub her head with her hands, "I will take Xiaotan with me this time, and I will take you with me next time. After I leave, you must protect this place well. In addition,

Don’t bother Granny Qing!”

"I know, Brother Amber, feel free to go."

The tallest and oldest child scratched his head and smiled.

"Well, I'll bring you three-color meatballs when I come back."

Amber smiled slightly, took Xiaotan's right hand, and the two of them, one big and one small, walked towards the market in Konoha under the rising sun.

The road there is quite far, it takes more than half an hour to walk.
Chapter completed!
