CHAPTER 1
Red sparkling paint. It splashes on the dark background.
More red paint. A darker tone of red.
I feel sick.
The paint-no, it's not paint.
It's blood.
Do you know that people with a darker heart have darker blood?
It's true. Really.
I've seen.
I've seen a lake of blood that's so dark that I could've sworn that it was black. It was when I witnessed the death of an extremely evil person.
On the other hand, the sparkling kind only runs in bodies with a pure heart.
I know this. It has just been confirmed again tonight.
Being in this line of work has to see a lot of blood, touch a lot of blood. It's part of being an excellent shinobi. One thing you cannot do, however, is react to the sight of blood, despite whether it sparkles or not. But that is exactly what I'm doing right now - commenting on the blood of a pure-hearted person.
