Chapter 49 You didn't do it voluntarily, did you?
"Throw him out. I'll handle this properly..."
He emphasized the words "handle it properly," and it was obvious that this guy was in deep trouble.
Although he was just a prisoner of war, he was still captured by the Third Young Master, and he was angry because someone else touched his things...
"Uh... okay..."
The clansman guarding the gate didn't dare to say anything. It turned out that the Third Young Master also had his own sore spot. The little boy who would smile at everyone actually had this side to him.
He was just an ordinary member of his tribe, with an ordinary job, and the cell had hardly ever been used, so this was the first time he had encountered something like this.
As the saying goes, if you can avoid getting involved, then don't meddle. The wisest decision is to just push the responsibility onto that idiot!
Even though that guy might be very wealthy and well-off, is there really any comparison? Everyone knows who to side with.
"Get out! I need to complete the task my father gave me, don't bother me!" Yan Yi was extremely anxious and quickly chased them all away.
Only after everyone had left the cell and the pig had been carried away and thrown out did Yan Yi have a chance to take a closer look at the cell...
However, Itama looked at Yan Yi with a fearful and wary gaze, as if he were looking at a stranger or even an enemy.
Yan Yi felt a sharp pain in her heart. The boy who had once laughed and talked with her in the cave and taken care of her when she was sick and injured was now looking at her with the eyes of an enemy.
"Square rooms..."
Yan Yi slowly approached the cubicle, but like a frightened puppy, he struggled to back away...
I can't take it anymore, I really can't take it anymore...
Yan Yi immediately shed all pretense and knelt down on the ground, reaching out her hands to tightly embrace Ban Jian's frail body.
"Waaaaah... I'm so sorry... I'm so sorry... Itama, I really didn't know it would turn out like this. I was so scared when I saw you on the battlefield..."
Yan Yi's tears fell incessantly, dripping onto Banjian's shoulder.
Even now, Itama was still somewhat uncertain, her voice trembling slightly: "Yan Yi... are you still the Yan Yi I know...?"
"It's me! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to make that face at you, and I even hit you... but if I hadn't done that, you might have..."
Yan Yi had already pushed her acting skills to the limit, but now that everyone was alone with them, all of Yan Yi's true emotions erupted...
"Yan Yi..."
Itama gradually came to his senses. Feeling Yan Yi's body temperature and the sensation of his warm tears dripping onto his shoulder, he broke down.
"Why...why you of all people!"
Itama wanted to hug the boy, but the iron shackles on his hands prevented him from even doing this most basic action, leaving him only with endless tears.
"Waaaah... I'm so sorry..."
Yan Yi hugged the board and cried. At this moment, the two boys were being their most authentic selves.
Itama was naturally terrified. If the boy hadn't arrived in time, he probably would have been... Just thinking about that scene made Itama tremble uncontrollably.
Itaru's body temperature seemed very low, so Yan Yi could only hold him tightly, trying to transfer more of her body temperature to him, just like when she had a fever, he held her in the same way.
All the sadness in Itama's heart seemed to begin to fade; Yan Yi was still the Yan Yi she knew.
But...
"I'm the one who should apologize... because I killed your people with my own hands..." Itama's voice was a little hoarse, and he hung his head, not daring to look Yan Yi in the eye.
Yan Yi trembled and looked up at the boardroom in disbelief.
"Wh...what?"
He couldn't believe that the kind, gentle boy would actually kill someone. Yan Yi had initially thought he'd just been captured by accident while on a mission with his tribe...
Itama shook his head; he didn't want to deceive Yan Yi.
"Yes... I killed them..."
Yan Yi stared intently into Itama's eyes. From his gaze, Yan Yi could tell that he was probably not lying to her...
"Itama, you..."
"You don't need to speak up for me...it's the truth..."
The image of piercing the other person's eyes with a kunai and slicing open their carotid artery was like a nightmare, making it impossible for him to breathe.
Yan Yi fell silent...
Itama killed his own clansmen, so he can no longer remain uninvolved. Those clansmen were just ordinary ninjas, and even Ami-ge... was clearly just a warm-hearted young man.
He hated it...of course he hated it! But...even if he really killed Itama, the dead wouldn't come back to life...
"It wasn't your choice, was it? Someone forced you..."
"...But my hands are already stained with the blood of the Uchiha clan...I'm sorry..."
Banma muttered to himself, then suddenly seemed to have figured something out, and looked up to meet Yan's gaze.
"Just kill me! There's no turning back now, neither of us can turn back. If you can kill me..."
Before Banma could say anything more, Yan Yi suddenly stood up and angrily shouted at him, "Stop talking! What good would it do if I killed you! If you feel guilty, pull yourself together! Atone for your sins!"
As Yan Yi spoke, her emotions began to spiral out of control again...
"You better live on! You better atone for your sins! You..."
He couldn't continue. During the Warring States period, countless people were killed by each other, but the death of each person would deeply wound the hearts of those who were still alive.
The shoji looked up, seemingly puzzled...
"You saved me; if it weren't for you, I would be dead by now. But that's a different matter!"
Yan Yi was heartbroken. He desperately wanted Itama to escape and return to the Senju clan's territory. But the clansmen he had sacrificed were innocent too!
"Itama...stay alive, I promise I won't let you die! If you feel guilty, then just let me lock you up here! I'll figure out what to do next..."
Yan Yi's mind was in turmoil. He couldn't wait any longer; if things continued like this, more people would die. Itama, his second brother... even himself—they would all perish in the war of hatred!
"Yan Yi...I..."
Itama wanted to say something more, but when he saw the determination in Yan's eyes, the softest part of his heart was touched...
Looking at the shackles on his hands and feet, Itama seemed to suddenly feel relieved.
"Well, if it's Yan Yi... I'm fine with anything."
......
The moonlight was almost gone, and more than half the night had passed. Yan Yi hugged the cell for a long time before finally leaving...
He really didn't want this kind, poor boy to die here... For that, he had to make a change, he had to find a way!
The grudge between himself and Itama... truly saddened him.
He once saved him, but now he has killed his own people, even though he didn't want to... And he, while not letting him be killed, has locked him in a cell.
I can't wait any longer... I need to find Madara tomorrow and have him take me to the river. I have to see Hashirama right now!
We can no longer passively wait for things to happen before trying to figure out a solution...
