RNP What exactly happened in Chapter 90?
What exactly happened in Chapter 90?
Xiao Guang was soaking in the water in a daze, with warm mist surrounding him. Only then did he finally come to his senses from the series of events that had just transpired.
I have truly come to be a member of the Feathered Robe Clan; I am truly an orphan of the Feathered Robe Clan...
But why didn't Grandpa tell me this before? Why didn't he send me back to this so-called family before?
Xiao Guang didn't blame his grandfather. He understood that his grandfather must have had his reasons for doing so, so he temporarily put aside his doubts.
He noticed that Takita had many similarities to him, especially in his eyes and brows... as well as that subtle, almost imperceptible, sense of closeness he felt towards him.
Are we connected by blood?
Xiao Guang didn't understand. After shaking his head, he began to diligently wash his body.
Wearing Takita's clothes made me feel a little self-conscious, afraid that I would get his beautiful clothes dirty...
......
"Wow..."
When Takita saw Hikaru come out of the bathroom, his eyes lit up and his mouth agape slightly.
"It looks great..." Takita made no attempt to hide his praise.
The person in front of me is practically a carbon copy of myself! Except for the fact that his hair color is pure gray while mine is blue-gray, so there are only slight differences, everything else is almost identical.
Now that Hikaru has washed up, he still looks quite handsome. However, compared to Takita's flamboyance, his demeanor is more reserved and gentle.
Seeing Takita's expression, Hikaru blushed slightly and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Thank you... for lending me your clothes..."
Xiao Guang, who had gradually recovered somewhat, was finally willing to say a few more words.
Takita's eyes lit up. His older brother was finally willing to talk to him. He said happily, "It's okay! You can wear my clothes!"
He's my older brother after all... although I still find it a little hard to say "older brother" out loud...
"I'll take you out to eat! What do you like to eat... Ah, it's okay, just come with me!"
Takita stepped forward, grabbed Hikaru's hand, and walked towards the door.
He had intended to ask what the other person liked to eat, but considering their situation, Takita unusually noticed this detail. Letting him order would probably be putting him in a difficult position.
......
As evening approached, Kuranosuke, who had been fighting all day, felt utterly exhausted. Senju Butsuma was still the same as always, like a turtle shell, and attacking him had little effect, as he could always neutralize his attacks.
So by the end, it even felt like the two sides were rehearsing...
"Never mind... I'd better wash up and go to bed."
Kuranosuke stepped into the clan's territory, intending to go straight home to sleep, but he immediately sensed a different atmosphere... It seemed like everyone was looking at him with a strange expression.
"W-what's wrong?"
Kuranosuke was completely bewildered; he didn't understand what those pitying and sympathetic looks meant.
What happened to me again? Did that brat Takita cause trouble again? Damn it... I've been exhausted all day! I thought that kid had improved recently, but it turns out he's caused trouble in the clan's territory again, hasn't he?
Feeling sullen, Kuranosuke randomly called out to someone, beckoned him over, and told him to come to him.
"What on earth happened? Did that brat Takita cause trouble again?! I'm going to give him a good beating today! I'll give him a good spanking!"
Kuranosuke looked indignant, but spoke with an air of righteous indignation.
However, everyone knows that the clan chief was just saying it; he would never actually spank his precious son...
"That...no, Chieftain...it's something else..."
The clansman looked embarrassed and stammered without explaining himself, leaving Kuranosuke even more confused.
"What exactly happened? Tell me straight!" Kuranosuke couldn't stand it anymore and glanced at the clansmen around him.
However, he was not disappointed. Soon, someone stepped forward and looked at Kuranosuke with some amusement, saying, "Clan leader, this is a good thing... cough cough, you'll probably have to raise two sons."
Immediately, everyone started discussing noisily, and then came up with a key piece of information that made Kuranosuke's vision go black.
"What do you mean... When did I suddenly have another son? I haven't been... having any affairs in the last few years?"
Unable to figure out what the problem was, Kuranosuke abandoned his clansmen and, without even removing his armor, rushed towards Takita's hut...
The two boys were sitting in the room chatting. After spending the whole day together, their relationship was finally less awkward.
Although Hikaru was still completely unaccustomed to his new identity and spoke somewhat cautiously, Takita, being a straightforward person, quickly accepted his unexpected older brother after the initial awkwardness.
Hikaru knelt on Takita's bed, his body looking somewhat stiff. Takita couldn't help it; even when he asked Hikaru to relax, he couldn't really relax, so he simply let him adjust slowly.
However, just as the two boys were chatting casually, there was a sudden noise at the door, and then Kuranosuke suddenly burst in, shouting as he went.
"Son! Takita! What happened...?"
Before he could finish speaking, Kuranosuke's voice trailed off completely...
In the room before them, on Takita's bed, besides his son Takita himself, there was another boy...
Kuranosuke's pupils contracted sharply. This boy... looked exactly like Takita, even wearing the same clothes.
Aside from a slight difference in hair color, they are almost identical.
"Dad, you're back..."
Takita didn't know how to explain, but he felt that his father should be the one to explain it to him.
"you..."
Kuranosuke was utterly incredulous. The moment he saw Hikaru, he was 100% certain that this was definitely his son, but this...
Seeing that he was about the same age as Takita, a thought suddenly came to Kuranosuke's mind that shocked him greatly.
The atmosphere at the scene fell into a deathly silence.
Xiao Guang looked up at the tall, burly middle-aged man with a hint of timidity, a question flashing through his mind. He hadn't even realized who the man was.
After waiting for two seconds, Hikaru hurriedly climbed off the bed, stood opposite Kuranosuke, bowed slightly, and said in a somewhat nervous tone, "Hello, clan leader... I am Hikaru."
"!"
Kuranosuke felt as if something inside him had been pierced in an instant, and a strong sense of heartache surged up. He didn't know whether it was self-blame or shame, and he didn't even dare to confirm his outrageous guess.
"Hikaru..." Kuranosuke murmured, a flood of memories of all his sons flashing through his mind...
"You are... Kota? You really are Kota?"
Kuranosuke seemed to have lost his soul, rushing over to hug Hikaru tightly. His emotions instantly collapsed, and he cried out in grief, "Ahhh! It really is Kota! You...you didn't die! You actually came back! Ahhh! Daddy is so sorry!"
Despite his advanced age, Kuranosuke clung tightly to Hikaru, refusing to let go, and cried like a child...
In his memory, Kota was the only one of his children who disappeared while still an infant. Back then, a traitor emerged from the clan's territory, and it seemed as if someone in the elders was being mentally manipulated, secretly sending information to the Senju clan.
Then, as one can imagine, their clan's territory was breached, resulting in heavy losses. If the Uchiha hadn't arrived in time to provide support, the Hagoromo clan would probably be extinct by now.
In the end... Kota, who had been taken hostage, was thrown off a cliff by the enemy, and his remains were never recovered.
However, the Senju clan members refused to acknowledge the existence of such a person afterward, stating that it was absolutely impossible for them to have done something so inhuman and utterly depraved.
But Kota will never come back. Regardless of whether it was Senju who did it, it brought Kuranosuke's hatred for the Senju clan to its peak at that time.
Xiao Guang's body stiffened; his mind, which had only recently recovered, went blank once again...
This person is his father? His biological father? Come to think of it, he and Takita are brothers, and if Takita calls him "Dad"...
"..."
He couldn't bring himself to call him that; his first thought was even the Feathered Clan Chief.
