Chapter 178: Chapter 178: Going To Kirigakure
"I know I heard what you two were just talking. Terumi Mei, I have something to say to you, are you free now?"
Terumi Mei nodded, then stood up slowly.
"Let's talk somewhere else and let Naruto play here alone."
Satoru didn't say anything and followed Terumi Mei.
After reaching the riverside, Terumi Mei suddenly squatted down.
"Even a child understands the simple truth and I have been trapped in it for so long. If only I had more courage and face the facts, maybe my life would not have become so sad, isn't that right?"
"It is indeed true that sometimes children understand things that adults couldn't. You always say that you have too much guilt for that person, but in fact it is because you are just too afraid to accept the facts. It is precisely because of fear that you subconsciously regard the other person as someone who wants to take revenge on you, but you should also be clear about the truth… How can the person who cared about you so much during his life curse you after his death? Obviously you cursed yourself. "
She cursed herself and that's why she couldn't live well and probably wouldn't die well.
This was what Terumi Mei had done to herself. She had imprisoned herself in a cage for so many years and no one could save her. Only after she understands and accepts this truth first, she can escape from this.
Terumi Mei smiled wryly, and looked down at her reflection in the river surface.
She had changed a lot from her appearance many years ago, and she even felt that she was very old now.
If that person was still there, maybe he couldn't even recognize her…
'What should I do to be able to come out of that painful past?'
'Maybe I should just look at the pain straight in the face!'
Satoru didn't know how long it took before Terumi Mei sighed, and said as if she was suddenly relieved of something, "Come with me to Kirigakure, I want to visit his grave."
Maybe after this, the knot in her heart will finally be solved.
Satoru nodded directly.
"Okay, I'll accompany you there, and by the way, when you get there, you should settle the things in your village. It's been so long, and you've been running away for this whole time, whether it's the previous things or other things, I hope you don't run away from these now."
Terumi Mei nodded, then stood up and went back with Satoru.
When the two returned to Satoru's house, they saw Tsunade standing there.
Seeing the two of them coming back together, Tsunade felt an inexplicable sourness in her heart.
She knew that maybe Satoru was about to leave from there, and she didn't know when he would be back, so Tsunade wanted to come and see him off.
"You two are going to Kirigakure, aren't you?"
"Well, I want him to accompany me there, sorry to waste your time."
"I don't care about such things, the important thing is whether this guy agreed or not?"
Even though she already knew the answer in her heart, Tsunade still wanted to ask Satoru.
She also want to get the answer by the way about when or rather whether he will come back again and not travel to play around.
Satoru just nodded.
"Well, I'll go with her for a while and you can take care of me a little bit more when I come back, thank you for your hard work in advance."
In the end, he still didn't say when he would return.
Inexplicable disappointment flashed in Tsunade's eyes, then she nodded and turned away, her back looked extremely pitiful.
Terumi Mei couldn't bear it, so she said to Satoru, "You might as well give her a promise that you will come back soon, instead of making her wait without any answer."
Waiting without any definite answer was one of the most painful things, and Terumi Mei knew that well.
"No need, maybe one day I will suddenly disappear, I, myself don't know how long I can live, so let her get used to it in advance, if I'm not around, maybe there will be another person to help her."
"You will not disappear!"
Satoru originally just said it casually, but Terumi Mei suddenly increased her voice, "You are so powerful, even the people of the Akatsuki organization don't get any attention from you, how could you disappear inexplicably? Don't let talk about such things in front of others in the future. If you do that, they would only feel fear of loss, rather than growing rapidly in a short period of time."
"It's so troublesome." Satoru scratched his cheeks, then rubbed Terumi Mei's head with his hands, and smiled confidently, "Of course I won't disappear, I'm invincible. The word "accident" doesn't exist in the dictionary yet."
Satoru said it casually but he never expected Terumi Mei would be so stimulated by it.
This was how just Terumi Mei reacted, not to mention Tsunade and the others.
Satoru hated those things the most, saying goodbye to people and back and forth, so he didn't say anything to anyone, and went away silently in the dark.
Kirigakure was quite far from there, if one had to travel there, it would take at least five or six days.
Satoru didn't bring too much luggage, he just brought enough money, because if there was something missing, he could buy it temporarily.
The two were traveling very fast, but Terumi Mei didn't know why Satoru stopped suddenly while walking.
By the time Satoru stopped for the 10th time, Terumi Mei finally couldn't take it anymore.
"Why do you always stop suddenly and then again start? We are traveling too fast, are you a little tired?"
"No, there is a little guy running slower behind me, I was afraid that he would not be able to keep up and lose track of us, so I stopped repeatedly, it was just to give him enough time."
"What? Is there someone following us?"
Terumi Mei was very eager to return home, so she didn't notice that there was someone following behind her at all.
'My awareness has actually dropped to such a level, if not for Satoru by my side, maybe I would be in danger.'
"Thank you for telling me this, I really didn't realize that someone is following us."
"It's okay. For me, everything in this world is within my control, but I don't want to change them or anything. There are too many things that people can't do in their lifetime. You can't ask everything to be perfect, learning to accept regrets is also a step in growth, you are already in your thirties, and you have to learn to grow up quickly."
After the little guy behind him came close, Satoru again continued on his way, and Terumi Mei shed tears again.
She really felt as if her years had been wasted.
She was entangled by something that even a child could see through.
Meanwhile, Naruto was panting and running at this moment. He doesn't know why the two people in front were running so fast, they couldn't keep up at all!
