Uchiha Miyuki looked at the "Chronicles of the Fire Nation" in his hand, unaware of the passage of time.
In the past three years, with the help of systematic reminders, he completely gave up his guard against his surroundings and developed a habit of reading anytime and anywhere.
He understands that in the ninja world, the importance of intelligence is absolutely equal to personal strength.
For example, Hidan did not have the corresponding information, and if his blood was taken from him during the fight, the person who was saved would only die.
But if Hidan's strange abilities could have been known in advance, he would have been nothing more than a durable ninja with excellent taijutsu.
Continuously accumulating information has become an unbreakable habit for Uchiha Mitsuki.
At this time, the door was gently pushed open, and Reiko walked in with a box of pastries in her hand.
She looked at the unsuspecting young man in front of her who was reading a book seriously, and felt a little relieved. She should have a chance.
As soon as she thought about this, she picked up the cake and brought it to the boy's mouth.
While delivering the cakes, she lowered her eyebrows and said to herself: "Ninja-sama, you are going to the Daimyo Banquet tonight. There are many rules on that occasion. If you don't eat something in advance, you will be hungry!"
Feeling Reiko's carefully hidden murderous intent, Uchiha Mitsuki sighed secretly in his heart: 'Although people are beautiful, their hearts are like scorpions!'
The system had already reminded him before Reiko even entered the door. His distracted look was just a deliberate act to show Reiko.
He calmly looked at the pastry that was approaching his mouth and mocked: "There must be at least a pound of poison in this little pastry!"
When her plan failed, there was no change on Reiko's face. She held a sharp knife with her other hand hidden behind her back and stabbed the boy's head quickly.
Uchiha Mitsuki looked at this overconfident woman and marveled at who gave her the courage to assassinate a ninja! He strangled the woman's wrist and coldly snorted: "Do you want to die?"
Reiko ignored her clenched wrist and smiled calmly: "Please kill me!"
"Why?" Uchiha's eyebrows were full of anger.
Reiko was fearless and said calmly: "There is no reason! I just want to die! Let's do it!"
Looking at the woman in front of him who wanted to die, Uchiha Mitsuki temporarily suppressed his murderous intention and asked curiously: "Let me guess, you eavesdropped on the conversation between His Highness and me today, right?"
"yes!"
"Aren't you desperate to know that His Highness doesn't love you!" Uchiha Mitsuki's eyes were full of inquiry.
Reiko raised her head suddenly and looked at the young man in front of her with disdain: "Sir, you underestimate me! I love him, what does it have to do with whether he loves me or not?"
Is this the answer? Uchiha Miyuki frowned and asked after a moment of silence: "...Then why are you here?"
"I just want to do something for the one I love at last!"
"Why do you want to die?"
"If the heart dies, the person must die!"
"Just because he doesn't love you?"
Reiko stroked her cheek with her fingertips and said calmly: "Yes, I have been waiting for this result for five years, and now I have waited for it!"
Uchiha Mitsuki let go of Reiko's hand, shook his head, and asked doubtfully: "Why? There are so many men in the world, why do you do this?"
Reiko smiled miserably, thinking that she was going to die anyway, so she might as well talk to the young man in front of her.
She straightened up her appearance, sat upright, and spoke eloquently: "Since I was a child, I have fantasized about the starry sky, imagining that one day, there will be such a person, high in the mountains and far away, who will come for me.
My biggest wish in this life is to meet someone who is willing to travel thousands of miles to come for me.
For fifteen years, I waited with my heart toward the sun and no fear of wind and rain. That person did not come, but I became a person who left for others.
I fell in love with a man. He was neither handsome nor tall, but when he smiled, his eagle eyes were so gentle and lonely.
I can’t explain why I love him, but love is love, and once I love him, I can’t hide from him.
I searched for him all the way and finally saw his back again. I couldn't wait to rush over and just wanted to ask him one thing:
I have come across thousands of mountains and rivers, are you willing to watch all the ups and downs and ups and downs of this life with me?
But, the sounds of His Highness around me made me stay away.
At that moment, how I wished he was an ordinary person, so that I could happily tell him that I love him very much."
Reiko's face, fearless of death, gradually filled with tears: "I am not a woman who loves vanity and power, really!
Whether it's a prince or a beggar, as long as it's him, I'm willing to do it.
It’s just that reality is really cruel, there are no ifs in this world.
The huge difference in status makes it impossible for me to speak!
I spent my last money and came to his home and became a maid in his home.
I am very happy, because from that day on, I can see him and guard him every day.
The pain of being so close to me and so far away from my heart cannot defeat me. Such a simple life is enough to satisfy me.
I can even live happily like this for the rest of my life if I keep the thought that maybe he loves me too.
When I am in a place with him and stare at the stars again, I always feel very happy.
This kind of happiness, although it must be ridiculous in your eyes, is enough for me.
But today you came and he said personally that he doesn't love me.
I woke up, my heart was dead.
If there is a coincidence, or if there is no chance, I will probably be the one who says it.
How can a superior ninja like you understand the sorrow of a little person like me?
Can’t an ordinary woman have a dream?
Even if it seems ridiculous, absurd, and humble, it is already everything in my life!
You ruined it, so here I am, I'm going to kill you!
It can't be a part of his life, but it's not bad to be an unforgettable glimmer in his mind.
It's just that I failed as expected, and I didn't even do anything decent for him in the end.
If the heart is dead and a person lives like a piece of trash, what’s the point?!
At the end of my life, I was unable to realize my childhood wish."
Reiko wiped away her tears and nodded: "Sir, let's do it! I came here with the intention of killing you, so there is no need to feel pity for me! The price of failure is just a humble life, I can still afford it.
Get up!"
Looking at this woman who was waiting for death with her eyes closed, Uchiha Mitsuki's eyes were full of complexity. At this moment, he didn't know if he was surprised or admired, but he knew very well that among all his emotions at this moment, there was no pity.
Yes, no mercy! Because he doesn't deserve it!
After a long silence, he suppressed the tears in his eyes and said slowly in his boyish voice: "Let's make a bet!"
The woman seemed not to hear and continued to lower her head.
"Just bet that within a month, the person you love will be brave enough to travel across thousands of mountains and rivers to find you! I bet he will find you! You bet he won't! The bet is my life! Why?
