The Little Girl's Despair

"Father, Mother, what does death feel like? I'm coming to be with you, your daughter is coming to be with you."

"Although I am unwilling, I guess there is no other way! If possible, I hope to have the opportunity to kill those ninjas. As long as I have this opportunity, I am willing to do anything."

The little girl opened her eyes and gave one last hateful look to all the ninjas in front of her. She said in a low voice, "I have remembered you. If people can really become ghosts after they die, then I will haunt you until you are all dead."

The little girl's voice wasn't loud, but it was enough to make all the ninjas present tremble with fear; her eyes made them somewhat afraid.

"Hmph! A little brat so arrogant!" The leading ninja glared at the little girl and then laughed, "But you have no chance now. You will definitely die here, and I have never believed in ghosts."

The ninja laughed loudly, seemingly mocking the little girl's ignorance and the naivety of her thoughts.

Resentment, endless resentment, emanated from the little girl. Although she was not afraid of death, she wanted to kill all the ninjas before she died, so that she could avenge her parents' blood feud.

"Interesting. I really like her eyes, I really like them."

Xuan Ye closed his eyes and sensed what was emanating from her body; it was resentment, endless resentment.

"You're great, really great. I like what's about you, I like your eyes."

Then Xuan Ye jumped off the White Tiger and headed towards the little girl.

It was incredibly fast; only a white trail could be seen, as if it had merged with the wind.

"I've set my sights on you. I won't allow you to die like this. Your life will be mine."

Xuan Ye became curious about the little girl and started to take an interest in her.

The Kunai continued its relentless attack towards the little girl's head. The little girl had no way to dodge, nor the ability to do so. If this continued, the little girl's head would be blown apart, and she would surely die.

But would that be the outcome? If Xuan Ye had simply taken an interest in her, she wouldn't have died so easily.

In the blink of an eye, Xuan Ye was already beside her, reaching out his right hand to catch the Kunai that was flying towards him.

"So weak, it feels so weak!" Xuan Ye looked at the dark black Kunai in his hand and shook his head.

"Perhaps that's true! These ninjas aren't that strong, so it would be strange if this Kunai carried great power!"

In the end, the little girl did not die; Kunai was captured by Xuan Ye, and he survived.

She doesn't look very old, probably around ten years old.

"From a distance, I didn't notice her, but up close, I didn't expect her to be so cute! Fair skin, big, bright eyes, and that still-developing face—I can tell she'll definitely be a beauty when she grows up."

"She was dressed in coarse linen clothes, indicating that her family was not very wealthy, but judging from her face, they should be able to afford enough to eat."

"Who? Who is it?"

The ninja leader noticed something strange: the little girl who should have died hadn't died; she was still alive.

And in front of him appeared a man who was about 1.6 meters tall, with black hair and a somewhat youthful face.

If that were all, it wouldn't have aroused his suspicion. The strangest thing was that the little boy was holding a Kunai in his hand.

He squinted and realized that the Kunai had been thrown by one of his own ninjas. Thrown Kunai are usually quite powerful and not everyone can catch them easily, but the little boy caught it easily and was even playing with it in his hand.

"Terrible, frightening, and he also sensed a strong aura of danger emanating from the little boy. He knew that the little boy in front of him was definitely not a simple person, but someone who could threaten his life."

"Who?" Xuan Ye heard the ninja's question, but he didn't answer him or even look at her. He turned his head directly to look at the little girl next to him.

"You're funny!"

The little girl looked bewildered, and her body began to tremble.

Ultimately, she was still a little girl who had never been in contact with blood, and now she was about to face death. Although she was not afraid or terrified, she was still a little nervous.

What does death feel like?

The little girl had asked herself this question more than once, but she had never received any answer. She had never experienced or felt death.

Before, the word "death" was distant and unattainable for her, but now death looms over her, and is only a step away from her.

Are you scared?

The little girl had asked herself this question countless times, but this time she finally came to a conclusion.

"Fear? What is fear? She doesn't feel how terrifying death is; it's just a matter of a blink of an eye."

"For her, death was not terrible, but she was unwilling to die like this. She wanted to avenge her father and mother and she wanted to kill those ninjas."

"However, to achieve these things, one must possess great power and strength, but she does not have these."

Having memorized the faces of those ninjas, she closed her eyes and quietly awaited death.

But after waiting for a while, she felt no pain at all.

"Am I already dead? Perhaps I was killed by a powerful force in an instant, so I can't feel any pain."

The little girl thought to herself, "Perhaps I will be able to see my father and mother soon."

"You're funny!"

A chilling voice pierced her ears and entered her brain.

"Am I not dead yet? Whose voice is that?"

The little girl opened her bright, watery eyes, a hint of confusion still lingering in them.

When she opened her eyes, all she saw was a man, a man with a wicked smile on his face.

Perhaps the word "boy" is more suitable for him.

Did I save myself?

The little girl is actually very smart; she is very observant and adept at observing the objects around her.

"Kunai, the boy was holding a handful of dark black Kunai."

"That Kunai, it seems like the one that was shot at me."
