Chapter 174: Shadow of the Heart

"Switch?" Lei Luo asked doubtfully.

"That's right, it's just switching." Yuko nodded affirmatively, her eyes became brighter and brighter, and her speaking speed gradually increased:

"The lively and cheerful me, the freedom-yearning me, the strong-willed me, the cold and passive me, these are all part of me and become just my personality and temper, but in the end, I will always be just me."

"When I receive certain external stimuli, I will unconsciously bring out my personality to cope with the corresponding situation, either to help me achieve my goals, to help me avoid danger, or to help me solve problems."

"These different personalities of mine may sometimes have some differences, but they are all similar to reflection after the fact. There is no nonsense about fighting for control of the body."

"Perhaps it is because of the existence of these various personalities that I think I can survive until now." At this point, Yuko couldn't help but smile bitterly and slowly explained:

"Ever since that mission, I don't know why, but I've developed these multiple personalities, but I'm not averse to this happening."

"When I am depressed, I switch to a cheerful personality and I will soon become happy."

"When I have low self-esteem, I switch to a confident personality and I can cheer up quickly."

"When I am confused, I switch to a calm and rational personality, and I can quickly analyze the situation clearly and solve the problem smoothly."

"Although, every time I switch back to another personality, I don't really like that gloomy state..."

Yuzi explained a lot, and Lei Luo gradually understood what happened to Yuzi's weird behaviors.

"Did your mind-reading ability also awaken after that mission?"

Although multiple personalities are rare, Lei Luo was more concerned about Yuko's abilities at this time, so he asked decisively.

At the mention of this, Yuko seemed to be a little depressed. She lowered her head slightly and nodded silently.

Perhaps thinking of Yuko's tragic past, Lei Luo also fell into silence and did not rush Yuko to continue talking.

Time passed slowly like this for a few minutes.

After a while, Yuko's eyes condensed, and she seemed to have recovered. She took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I can read other people's surface thoughts, ideas, thoughts, and emotions... No seals are needed.

There is no need to mobilize too much chakra."

"As long as I think, I can see the pictures in other people's minds and hear the voices in other people's hearts."

Yuko finally admitted that her ability did not require sealing. Lei Luo was not sure whether this was still a secret technique, or whether it had risen to the level of blood inheritance?

The limit of spiritual successor? A blood successor that is completely different from the limit of attribute fusion? Similar to the corpse bone vein?

Lei Luo was thinking, but Yuko did not stop stating: "At the beginning, I couldn't control this ability, so I always unconsciously heard the voices of people around me."

"That's why I don't want to stay in Konoha anymore." After saying this, Yuko paused, his eyes dimmed slightly, and his tone was very soft:

"Hate, anger, resentment, rejection... I can only hear these things from the hearts of the people around me."

"That period of time was the most painful for me. If it weren't for my cheerful personality, I would have committed suicide long ago."

"After barely surviving, I found a place to live with few people. By that time, I no longer wanted to resent anything."

"The only things that linger in my mind are escape and... staying away."

Following Yuko's slightly sad words, Lei Luo's mood inevitably became depressed. He tapped his fingers lightly on the table, not knowing how to comfort Yuko for a moment.

Suddenly, as if he thought of something, Lei Luo opened his eyes unconsciously and blurted out a question:

"So, what was your idea that night?"

"At that time, which personality existed in your body?"

Smiling bitterly, Yuko raised his head and looked at Lei Luo with a slightly absent-minded look:

"I have a calm and rational personality. Under that personality, I am extremely good at pretending, and the first thing I consider is my own interests."

"After realizing what you were saying, I was very scared, so I unconsciously said those words that I had never said."

"Those words were actually your inner thoughts at the time. It's just that I said them on your behalf in order to survive."

"To express your so-called position..."

As the last question was answered, Lei Luo sighed and didn't ask any more questions for a long time.

As long as Yuko returns to Konoha, unless she stays anonymous all day long, she will come into contact with others sooner or later, and once she comes into contact with others, she may be recognized by people who know her well.

Under this situation, no matter what Lei Luo does, even if he prohibits others from speaking ill of Yuko, Yuko's mind-reading ability can still see everything that others are thinking.

Unconcealed malice lingered around her, and whispers of anger and hatred lingered in her ears. It's no wonder Yuko could bear it so well.

Forget it...if you don't go back to Konoha, don't go back.

At this moment, after thoroughly understanding the crux of the problem, Lei Luo no longer insisted on taking Yuko back.

After all, this problem is too difficult. Unless he kills everyone who knows Yuko's dark history, it will be an unsolvable problem.

What if Yuuko is introduced to the roots?

But given Yuko's pursuit of always wanting to go out for a walk, Lei Luo didn't think it would be a good idea to let Yuko join the root.

The missions carried out by members of the Roots are often extremely dangerous. Even if Lei Luo uses his connections to prevent Yuko from carrying out those dangerous missions, staying in a dark underground base all day is obviously not what Yuko wants.

If coupled with the passage of time, some Gen-nin learn about Yuko's situation, it is difficult to say whether any "rumors" will reach Yuko's ears.

Lei Luo knew that no matter how powerful he was, even if he became Hokage in the future, others might be convinced, but he could not control what he thought in his heart.

After thinking about it, Lei Luo couldn't find a solution to the problem, so he had no choice but to give up completely.

Yuko, on the other hand, just watched quietly as Lei Luo frowned and thought hard, or sighed, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a sincere smile.

"Have you seen my thoughts again?"

Catching a glimpse of Yuzi's meaningless smile, Lei Luo's face darkened, as if he was about to have another attack.

But after hesitating for a moment, he did not say anything harsh again, but asked in a nonchalant manner:

"What's the name of your ability?"

Hearing Lei Luo's question, Yuzi put away his smile, his face became a little more serious unconsciously, and said seriously:

"Lei Luo, first of all, I want to remind you that mind reading is not my only ability. It should be regarded as a branch of my overall ability."

"And my overall abilities are collectively referred to as..."

"Shadow of the Heart."
