Chapter 61 People in Memory, Pain

Midoriko was born in a poor family. Her ancestors relied on fishing for a living and relied entirely on the weather to make a living. Although the family's life was poor, it was also quite fun.

However, fate was cruel. When she was young, she encountered famine and the whole family was threatened by hunger. Faced with such a difficult situation, the family could not feed both her and her sister at the same time.

In desperation, in order to support the family, the parents had to make a difficult decision - drawing lots to decide who could continue to stay at home.

Although she was filled with pain and reluctance, Midori was well aware of her family's plight. As an older sister, she did not want to see her younger sister suffer more, so she resolutely chose to leave.

From then on, the family was separated by thousands of miles, and the pain of separation became an indelible memory in her life. Fortunately, a teacher saw her talent and taught her skills. With her good foundation and unremitting efforts, her life gradually got better.

After that, she sent some money home from time to time, but they never met again. The big boss would not allow his courtesan to have such a shameful background that she could not bear to look back on.

Yue Le stood up and carefully handed Ah Hua to Midori, then took the initiative to take on the task of washing the dishes. She silently took the dishes to the kitchen, washed them, and put them in order. After everything was cleaned up, Yue Le returned to the living room again and chatted with Midori for a while.

With today's communication, he felt more and more friendly to this gentle old woman, who was like an old lady to him. She would watch him eat with a smile and pick up some food for him from time to time, telling him not to be picky about food.

"..."

Looking up at the night sky, the moon is exceptionally bright tonight, and there are not two clouds in the vast sky. But, grandma, why, no matter how slow your movements are, no matter how similar you are, why is your vitality so strong?

Slowly lowering his eyes, a hint of sadness flashed across Yue Le's eyes. He turned his gaze to Midori who was caressing Ah Hua, grinned, smiled slightly, and said goodbye to her.

"I will come again... Mother-in-law... Actually, I don't really want to come..."

Midoriko smiled kindly, and in Yue Le's mind, a vague figure gradually pieced together, but it was always unclear.

In the ninja world, being able to live to be in one's sixties is considered extremely long-lived, but at this age, and considering how much suffering Midori had endured in her youth as described, her body should not still have such strong vitality.

Yue Le didn’t pay too much attention to it before, but after a close observation today, he still found some clues.

In the Root, in the leader's office, Yuele was sitting on a chair, and Danzo was looking at him across the table.

Contrary to usual practice, there were no piles of files and documents on the desk today. Instead, there were delicious dishes and two bottles of sake.

Danzo had no intention of stopping Yue Le from drinking. As a ninja, improving one's drinking capacity was one of the essential parts of training. Only with a good drinking capacity could one deal with various situations more calmly when performing tasks.

"Yuele, how's the investigation going?"

"..."

"Grandpa, I want to observe for a few more days..."

"Well... let it go. You did a good job this time. The Root has already gotten what it wanted from Shindo Masato. If you need anything later, talk to Yamanaka Fuu. He will fully cooperate with you."

"Okay, Grandpa."

......

"Moon music."

"Hmm? What's wrong, Grandpa."

"What's on your mind?"

Yue Le felt a little strange today. You know, for a person with such strong vitality as him, the energy he consumes to maintain body functions is not a small amount. But today, Yue Le, contrary to his usual behavior, hardly touched his chopsticks. This was really different from his usual self.

Yue Le paused for a moment, and the chopsticks in his hand also hovered in the air. He frowned, as if thinking about something.

"Grandpa, I don't know why, but Midori always gives me a very kind feeling. I seem to see my grandma in her. I can't bring myself to do it... Grandpa, if she is really a spy, can I really do it? My memory seems to be a little confused, grandma... Why don't I have many memories of grandma... Grandpa, my head hurts!"

Having said this, Yue Le raised his head, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes. He felt extremely tormented in his heart. Midoriko was like a sharp wedge that had pried a small hole in the memory of his brain. This time, his memory seemed to become confused and blurred, and countless unclear memory fragments took the opportunity to flee.

However, no matter how hard Yue Le tried, he couldn't piece together the complete picture. This inexplicable feeling made him miserable, as if he was trapped in an endless dark abyss with no way out...

"..."

Danzo didn't say anything. He was silent for a moment, then slowly stood up with a somewhat dull step, and walked to Yuele. He carefully stretched out his arms and gently held him in his arms, afraid of hurting him. Looking at the child whose body was twitching slightly, Danzo's face revealed an indescribable look of heartache.

He had raised Yue Le for several years, and had treated him like his own son, like his own grandson. Seeing Yue Le in pain, Danzo felt bad.

However, he had no way to solve Yue Le's situation. As the leader of the Root, the war had just ended. Faced with a child from another country brought back from the battlefield, how could he not examine him?

But it was useless. After an in-depth investigation, Yue Le's identity seemed to be a native of the secluded village in the Rain Country. However, there was a problem. His language and his status were incompatible with the status of a secluded village. All of this puzzled him.

There was no way he would allow such an unstable factor to enter the village casually, so he fought for the custody of Yue Le from Hiruzen.

But later on, some things happened that slowly changed Danzo's mentality, and Yue Le's memories seemed to be constantly lost. No, not lost, but becoming blurred. He could remember a lot of things, but often when it came to specific things, Yue Le could not say it.

Yue Le seemed like a person shrouded in a hazy veil. This situation surprised him, but all the researchers in Konoha had no research results on this.

Gently comforting Yuele, soon, Yuele actually fell asleep under Danzo's comfort, but his eyes seemed to have changed a little. However, Danzo did not care too much about it at this time. He picked up Yuele, refused the help of others, and took him back to his room.

"Have a good sleep...child, everything will be fine..."

"green."

"Sir, I'm here."

Qing's figure appeared silently behind Danzo. He looked at Yue Le who was sleeping on the bed with a frown on her brows, and a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes.

"Call Yuhi Shinano."

"Yes."

Qing nodded slightly and disappeared from the room again in an instant.

Under the bright and dazzling light, Yuele was still sleeping, with no sign of waking up. Danzo gently closed his eyes, paused for a moment, then slowly opened them again, sighing helplessly.

......

"Sir, what do you want me to do?"

"Well, I want you to create a dream for Yue Le to fill in the part of his lost memory. Can you do it?"

"I will do my best, sir."

Yuhi Shinano did not delve into the reasons why Danzo did this. To him, all he had to do was to obey orders.

"Yuele, Yuele..."

Yuhi Manano first called Yuele's name softly, and when Yuele was awakened, just opened her eyes and her eyes were still in a daze, he immediately cast an illusion.

"Illusion: Dream Weaving!"

As the spell fell, a strange power emerged from Yuhi Mano and quickly enveloped Yue Le.

The hands quickly changed various gestures, and finally formed a mysterious and complex seal.

Along with this action, a thin layer of sweat appeared on Xihima's face, and a strange illusion gradually unfolded in Yuele's mind.

In this illusion, Yue Le remembered a quiet and peaceful fishing village, where there were kind grandmas, amiable grandpas, and people who lived in poverty but were full of laughter.

However, the beautiful scene was soon broken by the sudden war. The ruthless flames of war swept the entire village, and the cruel ninjas of the Sand Village slaughtered innocent people.

The village was massacred and my father died on the spot trying to save himself.

Later, Orochimaru and Tsunade appeared. They brought Yuele to Konoha, and a new story began to happen.

As a genius of the Yuhi clan, Yuhi Makoto has made great achievements since he was recruited by Danzo. This is because he has his own unique understanding of illusions, which is based on memory. However, this also requires a prerequisite, that is, the recipient does not have too much resistance.

Danzo did not completely modify Yuele's memory. In fact, he only made some minor adjustments, or he simply did not bother to change Yuele's way of thinking.

For Danzo, his only goal is to stop Yuele from suffering. He knows that if Yuele's memory is completely tampered with, it may cause more uncertainty and memory conflicts.

On the contrary, a truly clever lie should be nine true and one false, which makes it easier for people to believe.

After an hour of preparation, Yuhi Manano finally completed the spell. Trembling all over, with a weak body, he carefully placed Yuele on the ground and watched her fall asleep again.

At this time, he was already sweating profusely. Obviously, it was a very difficult task for him to weave such a long and complicated dream.

"Phew... Sir, I have accomplished my mission."

"Well, good job, back off."

"Yes."

Yuhi Manano bowed slightly to Danzo and walked out the door.

Danzo moved gently as he covered Yuele with the quilt beside him and gently stroked his forehead. The roughness of the calluses between his fingers made Yuele frown, and then as if he sensed something, he turned towards Danzo's direction.

"Have a good sleep..."

Whispering softly, Danzo took Watanabe Aoki out of Yuele's room and returned to the office. At this time, the food on the office table had already been removed and replaced by a pile of documents and files.
